If it means only one person get to see my content and get the "hope to continue living" then it's all that matter to me.
my focus is on individual level.
I am more concerned about the "loneliness epidemic" that everyone is almost avoiding talking about but commonly experiences.
my content is not for everyone, nor am I delusional to think otherwise.
content creation takes a lot of psychology and human behaviours to tap into.
whilst it is mostly glamorised, some small content creators truly believe in helping others.
I don't expect everyone to believe it because you may not be my target audience.
With that said, I am grateful to get to share my wisdom, life lessons, journey and experiences with you.
and yes, I am talking to YOU — you're a beautiful soul! 🫂
the most sensible I've heard to date. Good to hear acknowledgement esp we are all rooting for nostr to succeed bcoz we all benefit from it.
sometimes that's all we need to continue to hope and collaborate. And thank you! 🫂♥️

awwweee ty. so pleased to hear that some of the community here is finding it helpful.🫂
thanks for this. I am on the same page as you that nostr is not yet ready for the "normies".
On a different note, f u r struggling to sleep this paper may be your sleeping pill 😂

I truly feel your frustration.
tbf, noob or not, experienced programmer or not, nostr is indeed "not for average users".
Nostr is the only social media where I have to understand its architecture alongside its content consumption.
Your observations are echoed by other users.
I have experienced some of it myself and still do.
I am fortunate enough that I came from a tech background.
When you say random users from the streets, I can relate to this message.
I have been sharing nostr with my circle (your average users with no coding background) and the feedback was: "it's too complicated".
Another comment from a user: "it's slow and I only want it to work" and "why do you need multiple apps that are not all working properly?"
I agree with these statements.
I also understand why there are fundamental issues and why we have multiple apps.
I only learned the answers because I asked around and did my own research.
However, not all users are interested in how it works in the back end in order to use a technology.
They do not want to be burdened by such an experience, so they leave.
From my experience, you need some degree of troubleshooting tenacity to get nostr to work properly.
Not everyone wants to know how the car engine works. Some only want to know how to run it, how to refill the petrol or when it needs tyres/maintenance.
I can fairly comment too regarding your observations of some dev mentality here.
Sadly, it is very common and I have seen too many of them from a previous career.
With that said, I am still rooting for it to succeed because I believe in its cause.
I have shared ideas in here whether they were seen or not, not that my voice is relevant as a random user.
With the trajectory of nostr, especially the lack of incentives for relay operators to run nostr (financial longevity), I am unsure what the future holds for nostr. 🫂

Are you a dog that follows every scent?
Yes, your brain most often than not will pay attention to the negative because it digs into your deepest trauma; it plays into your ego.
The ego to be "right always",
to be "the only voice of reasons",
to be "the only one made effort to know",
that "this subject is your domain therefore, you're right",
to be "the one fighting for the world to be morally right",
to be "freedom fighter with moral compass".
Don't forget you can choose which one to pay attention and to focus — the positive one.
Being positive does not mean delusional or naive.
It means you choose to protect your peace whilst keeping at arms length the things that throw you out of whack.
Protect your peace and sometimes it means walking away from those who threaten it.

ty. yeah I know zap.stream. would be great if this feature means going live directly from primal.
Livestreams make Nostr more fun.
Here’s what we’ve built so far👇

indeed. I am novice though and kept falling off it 😬 Have you been to Siargao? The surfing capital in the Philippines?
⚠️Nostr practical security — attack vulnerabilities ⚠️
Researchers’ quote:
" Our results on Nostr show that their use of cryptographic technologies is simple and immature, showing a sharp difference from the modern messaging applications that the research community has scrutinised.
We think there is a significant lack of understanding on the secure design and analysis of distributed SNSs: what security property should be set, and what about the security of popular growing services other than Nostr, such as Mastodon and BlueSky? "
A new research paper (Aug 2025) analysed Nostr and found basic cryptographic and design weaknesses that allow attackers to abuse the protocol in ways that real users and services should be concerned about.
👉In plain terms:
attackers can trick clients and servers, steal funds or impersonate users in practical scenarios unless fixes are applied.
👉Key impacts everyone must know
1) Financial risk — attackers can hijack or manipulate keys or requests, causing loss of funds (wallet integrations, invoice relays, LN payflows).
2) Account and reputation risk — impersonation and message forgery can damage user identity, enable scams, or undermine trust models.
3) Ecosystem availability and privacy risk — attacks can de-anonymise users or flood/poison relays, degrading service and exposing metadata.
👉Call to action for developers and users
- Developers: audit signing and verification flows, wallet integrations, relay filtering and threat models; prioritise fixes for key handling and message-authentication weaknesses.
- Users: assume higher risk for money-related actions; avoid new integrations until maintainers publish mitigations; verify payments and identity out-of-band.
Looping in relevant parties below. Regardless of whether the source is trustworthy, the attacks described are worth investigating.

GM Nostr!
I'm back after a bit of a self-enforced social media hiatus. It was Nostr, Twitter, everything.
I was more than a little burnt out after BTC HEL. I didn't really get a proper break after the conference, since I went straight back to my fiat job the next day. All I had energy for was keeping the lights on at nostr:nprofile1qys8wue69uhkummnw3ezu6r0d4jkuet5wahhy6mc9ehx2ap6xsurgwqpzamhxw309aex2mrp0yh8xmn0wf6zuum0vd5kzmqqyzletcdyt027ch9q6ss0fa2u6qtyt3uynatlm5fm33d0a38tmnyyswdk3zk .
I was also more than a little shaken up by Charlie Kirk's death. I won't say much more about that here, but the TLDR is I did a lot of thinking about the risks of being public and saying controversial things. I was strongly considering taking a big step back from the space.
Nope!
I'm back, and ready to get started on new things!
I got out to a couple of fantastic conferences, first BTC Balkans in Sofia, Bulgaria, then the Plan B Forum in Lugano. My Bitcoin batteries are fully recharged, even if I was pretty exhausted after a week of conferencing. Reconnecting with old friends and making new connections is what this is all about.
I especially enjoyed the Rockamoto in Lugano - I can't believe I get to do all this cool stuff! Thanks nostr:nprofile1qy28wumn8ghj7et0wd6xzemjv9kjucm0d5hsz8thwden5te0dehhxarj95crztnev94kj6r0dehx2tnrdakj7qpqjt97tpsul3fp8hvf7zn0vzzysmu9umcrel4hpgflg4vnsytyxwuqxt3hw8 , nostr:nprofile1qyxhwumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmvqy28wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyv9kh2uewd9hsqgz9ywl935u4kxced2dceq4s8zmgjh9s9d5r6rp98224q6xm58av6qehgud9 , and nostr:nprofile1qyx8wumn8ghj7cnjvghxjmcpz4mhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejqqgxfkx0le4p7df0j8v7jwyrvux0y45kl3xapqvwagctlrdv3uyyfv5lgpykq for just being awesome! Looking forward to next time!
As for me, it's full speed ahead with the Bitcoin Infinity Show and the Bitcoin Infinity Academy! You may have noticed that I took a step back from the Bitcoin Infinity Show - it's just Knut now, at least in front of the camera. I'm still behind the scenes doing all the editing, but I couldn't keep my schedule flexible enough to join the recordings. I miss it, and I plan to change that.
And of course, I'm involved in the planning for next year's nostr:nprofile1qyv8wumn8ghj7mrfva58gmnfdenhyetvv9ujucm0d5qs6amnwvaz7tmwdaejumr0dsqzqu4j3jh2tp5lsfj98eh3kps9v7ddhwy4tmyqsyjgj8cs6nltk9a88cnzfe - stay tuned for all the details about next year's conference, and don't hesitate to reach out if you want to speak!
Thanks everyone for making this community amazing. I'm full of gratitude, and I can't wait for what's in store ahead.
glad to see you did some time out. it is much needed and healthy for your mind!
welcome back 👏🫂
the reason software engineers do not need licence because it is left to the pentesters and employers to do it for regulation purposes. however it does not mean that engineers must ignore basic security foundations. In centralised organisation, there is bigger incentive to keep the system secure due to reputational and monetary consequences. Hence, they hire the likes of cyber sec like pentesters who are regulated and insured to go in and look for vulnerabilities within the scope.
The question is, who is responsible when it comes to decentealise platforms which I raised previously from my notes.
I also ask, if someone will go in and snoop around nostr clients — do we have breach disclosure channel to report it to and consent?
This is left unanswered atm. 😬☺️
I have seen podcast re this with Dr. Amen who scanned thousands of brains, he warned the same and probably the same studies that you saw. 😬
defo. I have a nurse friend and she cannot grow nor colour her nails. I am grateful I have the liberty to do whatever with my nails. 🙏
🤞hopefully the next one. But it looks so amazing. congrats 👏
omg...! For real?! it looks awesome. Is it too bulky to carry? Does it come with pen?
💯 if you take your attention away from their notes, it would be like a desert for them here. 🤣
respect! Looks fun to me he he 😂🤣
that is very insightful take. With my search to understand emotions and behaviours the more I learn of my own biases and others. Which is in a way a precious gift with a heavy weight of responsibility. 🙏☺️
When so many people are talking about 'something' it becomes the truth and that is called 'social proofing'.
Sometimes they are very subtle.
How do you discern which to believe and which is to ignore? #asknostr

What are your genuine thoughts about Reddit?
I heard horrors but I was not prepared of what I saw last night when I was researching for content and end up in places I did not expect to see or even how accessible the content are.
Eg. Adult explicit content and violence
Do you think Nostr will be the next Reddit? (Genuine hope not!)
