We launched our first Nostr relay. A standard Linux box running at a Swiss datacenter that is powered by geothermal and hydroelectric power.

We will be adding a second one shortly.
BTW we are renaming our company Hubmaker Labs. Currently its called Catalyze Software.
The Q3 2023 Twitter Migration report is out: https://www.deweysquare.com/digital/twitter-migration-report/
It shows Nostr is holding steady after Threads tsunami. We’ve got users, interest, and development but we’re stuck in a bitcoin / crypto echo chamber. The problem isn’t the tech directly so much as culture. How can we cultivate millions of communities with their own values and norms. Sure they can use lightning for payments, but mostly people won’t be here because they believe in nostr or bitcoin. In fact for both to succeed we need folks who don’t care about the underlying tech at all.
I agree here. We need diversity and also methods for people to create content streams that align with specific interests. Nostr = btc is fine for a starting place but it needs to be broader than that to go mainstream. Conversely we need nostr apps that are more than Twitter like timelines. Apps with private relays were cohorts of people can work on things with specific intent. We are building a nostr slack for that use case. Devs who want to help on this project are free to DM me anytime. We are also looking at a Reddit alternative with a beautiful UI where topics and communities of focus are easier to find and cultivate.
Halloween is almost here.
Good Morning!

Good morning Nostr. Been away for a few days. Back to the fun now.
I went on one of my favorite podcasts last week to trash-talk nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6 but we forgot to record that part and ended up talking about other things that probably 6 people will be interested in 😂😂😂
