No, the caching service is still active whether enhanced privacy is turned on or off.
I just recently learned how Primal handles caching compared to other clients. I have noticed a few issues as well. It will be interesting to see how the devs deal with it as the problem seems to be gaining more attention recently. Thankfully there is no shortage of Nostr clients to try out in the meantime.
Side note, I’ve been following the development of nostr:npub1gkkahxwca30rf2td22u9p3jnmlh79dylgmm2et0kykftle6tdcysj4zden , it looks to be a promising alternative to the “block clock!” I check the web dashboard frequently to see what’s new! 👀
Thank you, I appreciate it!
I understand that using a caching system can provide a smoother experience, making Primal less prone to outages and similar issues. However, I’d personally prefer to receive notes directly from the relay without any caching in the middle. While I’m sure Primal would never do this, technically, they could filter or censor the feed through the cache, which would, in essence, make the system centralized.

I get that using a cache system could provide a very smooth rxperience making Primal prone to outages and what not but I’d prefer to get the notes directly from the relay without any caching on the middle. I’m sure Primal will never do it but technically they can filter/censor the feed from the cache which technically makes the whole thing centralized.
I keep noticing an issue with Primal’s caching system that’s causing some frustration. If you’re seeing a bunch of zeros on this dashboard on Primal, it’s due to a temporary API failure on our end. While the issue often resolves within seconds, Primal’s cache doesn’t update the original image path, continuing to serve the cached version instead. This is never an issue on Damus for instance, as the image path gets updated right away as it talks to the relay directly without a cache. This caching behavior definitely needs a fix, and I hope it’s addressed soon.

If you have 10 millions sats, you are a millionaire in fiat terms though the world may not have caught up to that reality yet. 🔮⚡️
No, 50m addresses holding less than 0.1 btc but non-zero. Remember addresses are different than wallets. I have no idea how many of those represent individual people. 20-30m would be my guess but really nobody knows.
Yes, ~50 million addresses holding about 300k btc in total.
If you self custody 10 million sats or more, you belong to an exclusive and rare group of just 4.5 million addresses (likely representing fewer than 4 million individuals) that play a direct and influential role in shaping the future of #Bitcoin. Not the stupid power law or arbitrary lines on charts—these 4.5 million addresses will be directly responsible and can take credit when Bitcoin reaches $500K, $1M, $10M, and beyond.
The internet is flooded with countless review and feedback services, each operating within its own walled garden, controlled by centralized platforms that dictate the rules, ownership, and visibility of user feedback. These systems often create silos where reviews are manipulated, limited to specific platforms, or locked behind paywalls, reducing transparency and trust.
It’s time to break down the walls of corrupt centralized review platforms and move toward a more open system with Nostr.. using Nostr, reviews and feedback can exist in a trustless, censorship resistant environment where users maintain full ownership of their opinions which restores authenticity and ensures that feedback is universally accessible, interoperable across platforms and immune to manipulation by centralized entities.
A ledger that humanity can trust, verify and rely on.
2035:
1️⃣ 1 BTC = ~$10M to $15M
2️⃣ Microstrategy owns about 5-8% of total Bitcoin supply and establishes the world’s largest bank.
3️⃣ Bitcoin becomes the world’s primary reserve currency, replacing gold in central bank holdings.
4️⃣ Over 25% of global trade is settled using Bitcoin through Lightning Network powered payment channels.
5️⃣ Bitcoin mining transitions to being entirely powered by renewable energy, with surplus energy from solar and nuclear sources.
6️⃣ Bitcoin-backed loans replace traditional fiat collateral in global finance.
7️⃣ 20+ nation-states achieves hyperbitcoinization, with its economy fully running on Bitcoin.
8️⃣ Africa achieves fully economic independence through Bitcoin adoption, bypassing legacy systems.
9️⃣ ATM machines become obsolete as people start using NFC technology and Lightning wallets for instant, seamless transactions.
🔟 Bitcoin becomes the first universal currency facilitating seamless transactions between Earth and the pioneering voluntary first Mars colonies.
The UTC closing price was 93,354. Impressively, three participants came astonishingly close with guesses of 93,333. Each winner will receive 3,333 sats.
