My Nostr post from two years ago where I criticized Elon (which was probably the only time I ever lost my temper online, being actively censored, and still stand by it) is getting a lot of new replies lately. People agreeing or disagreeing, etc.

It seems to be an influx of users, rather than a resurgence of the post itself.

Noting this because it’s statistically interesting.

I believe it is the case. That’s why I don’t participate until I see some value.

Houses are primarily for living, not investing. Their main purpose should be to provide shelter and a home, rather than serve as a financial asset. Viewing homes solely as investments can distort the housing market and make homeownership less accessible.

If you need any help at all tagging #plebchain gets a lot of eyes on your note 😁🖤🤍🖤🤍

Congrats you set up getalby correctly. Just zapped you. Yes the one I sent is a mobile wallet that is typically easier for a new user but no need. Alby is great especially for desktop so you can easily log into different Nostr clients. Primal is probably the best desktop client currently in terms of smoothness. Welcome to Nostr!

Welcome!

Find a user you trust and copy their relay list. You can fine tune it later. Try a few clients (apps) and see which one works for you. Post notes and engage with people. Ask lots of questions and revel in the fact that you are the curator of your experience. You are in full control! Welcome!

Sure! Welcome 🤗

You can explore nostr like Twitter on any of the “clients” (apps). Damus (iOS), primal, amethyst (android), snort and many others.

You can live stream if you like at zap.stream or watch streams in amethyst, nostrudel or zap.stream.

You can search and follow hashtags (we don’t have algos yet)

You can set your a lightning wallet and “zap” people - earn money and spend money.

You can start and join communities (amethyst, satellite.earth)

I mostly hang out on Damus and Snort and zap.stream

Hey Jack! Reddit rugged their Moons token used by the /r/Cryptocurrency subreddit. Moons were essentially community points on Ethereum. They gained traction this past year and even got listed on Kraken. Lots of people started to buy them, trade them, horde them, etc. Reddit announced recently that they were sunsetting the program and all of the whales dumped their bags. Lots of people feel betrayed.

So, I figured that since these users appreciated creating content and getting paid for it, why not tell them about Nostr, highlight Zaps, and how we're building a value for value decentralized economy here.

I made a post on Reddit in their cryptocurrency subreddit. It's currently at 50K views and 400 comments. It's doing really well. I've been answering questions all afternoon and on-boarding people to Nostr. 🤙🏻💜🫂

Pura vida.

THE nostr retention rate is less than 1%

Hard to say if this is terrible or close to normal - my gut says not good

We probably have a bunch of low hanging fruit opportunities in improving this.
