SMALL (but important) NOSTRGRAM UPDATE:

Just pushed 3 small updates to NostrGram:

* If you paste an nsec into the note editor NostrGram will now warn you in case that wasn't your intention (which it almost never would be).

* When viewing the Note Info there's now a Copy button that lets you copy the JSON structure to the clipboard

* In the Additional Note Actions (...) there's now a Copy Text that will copy the text content of the note

Refresh to get the update.

Good morning...Bitcoin 😲

Goodnight all. 🛌 💜

That's some serious ⚡ #[0]

There's only 183k accounts that have at least one follower. A lot of accounts are just throwaway npubs or spammers.

If you click on the icon it opens up the note that got the ⚡ (unless the ⚡ was to your profile and not to a note).

I love swapping out my profile banner image. Looks so cool full screen. That was one of those on-a-whim things I added to NostrGram that when I saw the effect I knew it was something special.

**ACCEPT THAT THIS MESS IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY**

I spent the first 37 years of my life in a religious cult, so I understand how people can be indoctrinated to do things they would not otherwise do. Even so, I accept that the things I did while in the cult are my responsibility. They're my fault. I don't do guilt (it's unproductive), but I accept responsibility.

The corrupt financial system is also partly my fault. I supported it, worked with it, helped prop it up. I didn't know any better because I was indoctrinated, but the actions were mine, and I accept responsibility.

(Continues after image)

I got out of the religious cult, and I got out of the Cult of Fiat. I now actively work against such institutions, but it started with accepting that neither would exist if we had all stopped and paid attention to what was being done to us and around us. We didn't ask questions when we should have been.

Many are quick to dismiss personal responsibility. Nothing is their fault. Everything was done to them and that entitles them to wallow in the mire they were thrown into and cause others trouble and everyone has to just put up with it. It's a very fiat mindset.

I like to say that "it's not your fault, but it is your problem." Even if something was done to you that caused you strife and trouble, you're the one that's going to have to deal with it. Many times, though, that starts with accepting the part we played in letting ourselves fall into the trouble or be duped to begin with.

Accepting that is important. It's an opportunity to analyze why we fell for it. If we understand that, we'll be protected from falling for something similar going forward. I guarantee you I will never be in another cult again: religious or secular. I know them all too well.

**So say it with me: I accept responsibility and will never fall for it again.**

I look at NostrGram now and compare it to the early version from mid/late January and I'm immensely proud of what I've accomplished with the client. There's still a lot to do, but it wouldn't be anywhere near as good as it is if it wasn't for all the feedback and suggestions from the people who use it. So thank you. 🙏💜

I switched to DeepL's machine translation, which is supposed to be the best in the business right now. 😎

Just pushed the gradient note background update for NostrGram. Both Light and Dark mode now have gradients. As always, thanks for the feedback! Refresh to get the update.

Gradient note background. Thoughts?
