I don't agree. Its more of a market cap size thing, not a debt thing. Im sure Zimbabve issued some 10year debt, but it doesn't really help their currency. Its more of a size of the user base, how many people share the collective halucination that currency xyz has value and will have it in the future. Bitcoin is just in its teenager phase, don't expect too much from a teenager :)

I think you could deploy a script on your site to display events from a specific npub, so the website itself is a very basic nostr client that fetches the events and displays them as a website. Is that what you mean?

I like your post, but can't agree on the advice against ledger or trezor. They are still hardware wallets, expecting a newcomer to properly setup a hot wallet is just crazy. Even if ledger sucks, it still can be used directly with electrum wallet (bypassing their garbage Ledger live software). I would advice ANY hardware wallet is better for a newcomer than a hot wallet.

I didn't mean it wont happen to some degree, but not enough to break up the centralization in a meaningful and persitent way. I see more hope in electrical grid balancing, heating/preheating in industries (factorys...etc). So more spread out, so its not just concentrated in mining farms...

Over 9000 fosho 🤓

I ask myself more if centralization is even a problem. I like Erick Voskuils logic, if miners start censoring transactions they are leaving money on the table (transaction fees), encouraging someone in a xyz country to spin up a mining operation and mine those transactions. So in the long term I believe there is a genious self balancing mechanism at play here. Its just theory though, we didn't see a proper attack yet. At the same time, why would miners (even if heavily centralized) hurt their investment by hurting bitcoin in any way (censoring, printing more...et)...

I think its wishful thinking. It will be always more efficient (cheaper) to design a device that has loud fans, big power supplies...etc Also you can't heat your house all the time. Even if it catches on, the home miners will quickly become unprofitable while the industrial miners upgrade their equipement...

I feel the same 😅

Did it work? :)

I would say that is a problem, but not the biggest right now. Right now the biggest problem imo is the UX of onboarding and discovery. Been here three weeks now, still have no clue how to set this up, I connected to a few relays but I don't know what I am not seeing. Maybe there is a magic relay out there that has great content that I would love, but how do I find out it exists, if I only see what I see. And Im a geek, can't imagine how a normie experiences this...

That's amazing, will take some time to test out your nostr-relay-tray and jumble. I think you are going in the right direction with all this.

Just don't get it why you would do that, there is no #music in your note 🫠 Now I will mute you, but its just a shame, since you have some nice posts that I will then miss... And btw, you mostly have videos and photos, why not #video and #photography or something...just silly and lazy pasting identical hashtags in every post 😅

Imo thats just FUD, as long as the price roghly doubles every halving miners will do fine...

Could you stop spamming unrelated hashtags maybe? 🤣

GM 🙌 Agreed, it is getting more active 😎

And this relay.nsec.app handles this? Could I add my own relay here? Do you know of any good resource to learn more about how this works? :)

#asknostr any ideas why the android signer #amber needs relays? Its a signer for other apps, for what purpuse would I add relays to it? Also this persistent notification makes me think it might be a battery drainer :) https://cdn.nostrcheck.me/546b924fb57b1b3b243092465a74333f536e18bf46ec63fdbc732d6b5719729d/0ae006ba4b824394e5edc604f31e23374958a4620306d181a5e245ed61f7c745.webp

This one is nice for python: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=python.learnpython.learn.pythonx.coding.programming.python3.tutorials.codingx

Do you see comments?

Yes, the family becomes a bitcoiner only during the euphoria phase 🤣🥲

Yeees!

What about a personal caching relay? Does that exist? So your personal relay is online anyway, cant it monitor your follow list and cache that, so when you open the client on your phone it just needs to fetch your relay. In this case your personal relay is actually acting as a client in a way. Sorry if Im asking stupid questions, been here for a good week, just trying to grasp this...

Does it really slow things down that much? Lets say I post 5 notes a day and have a personal relay, this relay will be much faster to respond than some big relay with a huge database, or is just the client having to connect to another socket that slows things down that much? Where does the slowness really come from?

But most clients don't then? Is this outbox model part of some nip? Any idea about what the general consensus among client developers is on this? If I understand correctly its quite an important property in the sense of distributing content among relays, encouraging self hosted relays...etc

Do clients also query the relays a user you follow has defined?

Say I only post to my relay, where only my npub is whitelisted for write. But has public read.

Say you follow me, does your client fetch my notes from my relay? Or are my notes then invisible to you, if you didnt manually add my relay in your client config? Even thoug you follow me...

How long did you make the self imposed trial period? I joined around the same time as you and I feel like I barely scratched the surface of this thing 🤔

Die hard

Make some fake npubs and zap yourself to get the ball running 😅🧀
