Thanks Ben for coming on! It was a great chat! Always great to catch up with a fellow Calgarian!
Rolled out new https://iris.to version:
* Zero-configuration zaps for new users: comes with a [npub]@npub.cash lightning address and an integrated Cashu wallet (cashu.me)
* ReplyGuy-free experience: automatically hides content by users not in your social graph
* "Unseen" feed. Click "home" or switch tabs to refresh.
* "Adventure" feed. Shows content from everyone in your social graph.
* Social graph based fast user search
* Better scroll position retention on back navigation
"Add to home screen" for better mobile use experience & push notifications.
This new version is based on NDK. I think it's a good idea for web devs to work together on shared core libraries.
Not perfect, but I'll keep working on it! If you preferred the previous Iris version, you should use https://snort.social which is basically it.
Awesome job Martti!
I really like Steve's website, LingQ. It's my favorite interface for reading in other languages.
Great episode, I really enjoyed it. By the way, nostr:nprofile1qqsymrmayr3t54hru0q5w4pfxn6s4pz6j7q60ugsxutajk2ahs0dh8gprpmhxue69uhkv6tvw3jhytnwdaehgu3wwa5kuef0qy88wumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmv9uqjqamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3dwfjkccte9e3xjarrda5kutnwd9hx5cf0sugfjm, the best proof you’re not really Finnish—you talk so much, hehe 🤣 (which I really like 🤘🧡). I’m very happy to see more of your online presence, you indeed, have a very interesting story to share + many smart observations. FYI, I’m 70% done with the book (marking up maaaaaany quotes based in which I'm planning to write a few pieces later on, example 👇). I’ll share my full feedback later on but so far, while it still keeps that sense of humor combined with valuable facts (typical nostr:nprofile1qqsf9jl9scw0c5snmkylpfhkppzgd7z7dupul6ms5yl52kfcz9jr8wqpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgtcdsgmt4), it feels more structured/smoother compared to the other three books of Knut’s that I’ve already read. Your hand/head I believe. Well done 🚀💥
One thing to add, which was mentioned in this episode, to maybe disagree with in a sense: while I do really like Primal, and everyone’s free to choose their own wallet, personally, I see it risky to have a wallet built a social app (not decentralized, all in one, and therefore more prone to different issues—not to mention the KYC thing, which, yes, I know they have to do, but I still don’t like going through that process). That’s why I’d recommend checking out the nostr:nprofile1qqsq3v3kr3sqxtmr4zr6wnwc4cjrpn3ksfu7hc30am2vpcfu68jucqqpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumrfvecxz7fwd4jszxrhwden5te0wfjkccte9eekummjwsh8xmmrd9skcqgswaehxw309ahx7um5wgh8w6twv572ws3h wallet, which is also connected with Nostr, doesn’t require KYC. Here’s the best part: for new users setting up their wallet account, it automatically creates a Nostr pair of keys. For those who already have Nostr, you can log in very fast using your keys to set up your wallet. Yet, they are two separate things: a wallet and your Nostr profile. 
Thanks so much for the thoughtful reply! I'm glad you're enjoying the book and my online appearances.
Knut and I are both really proud of the book, and we put a lot of work into the structure and flow. It's nice to hear that the difference is getting noticed.
You make a really great point about nostr:npub1pzerv8rqqvhk82y85axa3t3yxr8rdqnea03zlmk5crsne509esqqw0x463! I'll have to check them out. I remember them from Riga but didn't get a chance to chat with them or check out the wallet in much detail. It sounds great though! I'm always open to changing my recommendations if something new or better comes out. I'll be sure to download it and give it a try!
Thanks again for the great feedback! It was really nice to connect in Riga, I'm looking forward to next time! All the best til then!

Thanks a lot Jake! I hope all is good in your world. Good luck with everything you have going on yourself! I see you're with the Bitcoin Mentor now! That's a great project!
Guys great episode. Thanks for sharing
Couple of thoughts:
- nostr:npub18ams6ewn5aj2n3wt2qawzglx9mr4nzksxhvrdc4gzrecw7n5tvjqctp424 loved the “Derekisms”. Fave was “enraged & engaged”. Plus, the idea the purple pill is the entry to the orange pill. I wonder, what’s the best way to make that happen? Making nostr-only content that is then easily shared by users? Therefore enticing others to join?
- I went to save the episode to my Spotify episode lists to listen to, which is a habit I’ve crated, for working through all content I am researching. I stopped myself, “use Nostr jake”, and came back to Nostr with nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg and bookmarked it. The video played great & I enjoyed it. Is there a video focused client that could be used to save, create playlists, discover etc, podcast content like this?
- I love the idea of releasing all content on Nostr a day early. Any kind of advantage such as that to differentiate its importance is cool. Did you come up with any others? Going Nostr-only is a cool concept, but you immediately walk away from all the eyeballs on legacy platforms
Hey Jake, glad you enjoyed it! Derek is an awesome Nostr educator, and he definitely cleared up a few questions from our side.
For me personally, the answer to getting people into Nostr is a combination of things. First, make nostr-only or nostr-first content. We can't afford not to share our podcast and books as widely as possible, so we share everywhere, but going Nostr first is our way of prioritizing Nostr.
The other thing I'm doing is telling people about the Primal app. They get a wallet built-in (with light KYCnot ideal, but baby steps!), so they can benefit from the zaps and learn more about Bitcoin that way.
As far as video apps, nostr:npub1eaz6dwsnvwkha5sn5puwwyxjgy26uusundrm684lg3vw4ma5c2jsqarcgz is the closest I can find. We wanted to use them for our full episodes, but apparently the integration with nostr:npub1nxy4qpqnld6kmpphjykvx2lqwvxmuxluddwjamm4nc29ds3elyzsm5avr7 pro subscription doesn't work. If it did, we'd post our episodes on Zap.Stream and save to Nostr.Build. We're probably going to post show clips from there in the future eaither way.
More apps will come, I'm sure!
For us, releasing content a day early is pretty much the compromise. But we will do nostr only for some things - stay tuned!
Appreciate you Jake, hope all is good in your world!
🚨 New episode! 🚨
On this week's episode nostr:npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld shares his Bitcoin journey, starting from his move from Canada to Finland, joining nostr:npub1jt97tpsul3fp8hvf7zn0vzzysmu9umcrel4hpgflg4vnsytyxwuqt8la9y on the newly rebranded Bitcoin Infinity Show and having written and released their joined Best-Seller book Bitcoin: The Inverse Clown World.

Thanks for having me on GG!
Thanks nostr:npub1jt97tpsul3fp8hvf7zn0vzzysmu9umcrel4hpgflg4vnsytyxwuqt8la9y and nostr:npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld Enjoy your conversations and gained a bit more insight on how to use NOSTR more effectively in the early stages. nostr:npub1q7why7lw8kq9ufr43ps75ngz3vhx5duqt7xmgklcq3dljqqfjegq2km2vr and nostr:npub1cyla8qgt9gv8y6ydv8s2prt89h8afc0sr2kaz64ryjmlpdrzxm4qwlh53qallowed me to stumble my way onto NOSTR initially and pointed out the idea of NOS2X which I had no idea about as an infrequent user. Thanks nostr:npub18ams6ewn5aj2n3wt2qawzglx9mr4nzksxhvrdc4gzrecw7n5tvjqctp424 for your clear explanations. It makes sense that NOSTR be more like how one behaves in The Real World. It does feel that way so far!
Thanks so much for watching! Really glad you enjoyed it!

gm, Uncle got hooked on in-person podcasts after spending time with nostr:npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld & nostr:npub1jt97tpsul3fp8hvf7zn0vzzysmu9umcrel4hpgflg4vnsytyxwuqt8la9y at nostr:npub167n5w6cj2wseqtmk26zllc7n28uv9c4vw28k2kht206vnghe5a7stgzu3r... so thanks to nostr:npub1cj8znuztfqkvq89pl8hceph0svvvqk0qay6nydgk9uyq7fhpfsgsqwrz4u for creating live setup for us in Japan.
reply and lmk how you liked the conversation, zapping every reply
Awesome to see you doing more in-person pods Uncle!
I sat down with nostr:nprofile1qqsf9jl9scw0c5snmkylpfhkppzgd7z7dupul6ms5yl52kfcz9jr8wqpzdmhxue69uhhqatjwpkx2urpvuhx2ue04820mz and nostr:nprofile1qqsymrmayr3t54hru0q5w4pfxn6s4pz6j7q60ugsxutajk2ahs0dh8gprpmhxue69uhkv6tvw3jhytnwdaehgu3wwa5kuef0qy88wumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmv9uqjqamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3dwfjkccte9e3xjarrda5kutnwd9hx5cf0sugfjm during #Nostriga to discuss all things Nostr. They took the purple pill. Literally. I gave Luke a crochet pill that nostr:nprofile1qqsfpuyj8re4zneync4nx0npr8h0f95hqg8e2m7hkeejecgcm5d48jcprdmhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68yurvv438xtnrdakj7qgkwaehxw309ahx7um5wfjkc6t5v4ejummjvuhsz8mhwden5te0dehhxarj94ex2mrp0yhxgetjv44k2mmnwvhx6ef0g9a028 made 👀 Check it out when you have time.
I'm honored to be the recipient of the purple pill! It was so awesome to hang out with you in Riga! Thanks for all your help figuring out this Nostr stuff, and for overall just being awesome. Looking forward to next time!
How does that work? It's just some specific relays? Any relay recommendations?
Check out https://new.iris.to for a ReplyGuy-free Nostr experience. When logged in, it hides replies from people who are not in your social graph. You can display the hidden messages by clicking on the button underneath.
There's also "Adventure" feed for showing all notes from your social graph:
I have worked on it together with the Nestr "decentralized GitHub" team. Nestr frontend and Iris are built from the same codebase using build configuration options for different branding and features. You can easily extend the configuration to make your own branded version. Source code to be released soon™.
The client is based on NDK. Full SocialGraph up to 2nd degree is downloaded on first login, and thereon only missing follow lists are queried. I'll be experimenting with options to go beyond 2nd degree.
The graph is serialized and saved locally in a compressed format, which is much faster to load than it is to reconstruct the graph from Nostr events. My graph consisting of 260 follow lists and 23000 users is 3 MB on disk.
It's still very much work-in-progress and mostly tested on desktop Brave, but it's already my favorite way to browse Nostr.
Looks great!
