🤮I left X for freedom but also so I didn’t have to read about that wanker all the time.
Here in the UK festivals often install extra cell towers to cater for all the comms needs of the visitors and businesses. The push for cashless also drives this infrastructure which bitcoin can usurp.
#asknostr #askbitcoin what’s going on with the #lightning graphs on #mempool.space ?
Specifically what happened around Jul 21 and also various points in the preceding moths.
The bots are here. Can #nostr keep up? #asknostr nostr:npub1hu3hdctm5nkzd8gslnyedfr5ddz3z547jqcl5j88g4fame2jd08qh6h8nh 
Have you managed to get a new boat or are you back on land?
Would love to make it next year but early September is not a great time for me. It’s usually when the rainy English summer turns into the summer it should be, so I can’t really leave the beach 🤷♂️😁🏄🏻♂️🍗🏖️
Feeling some fomo here at home for those in Riga #hb2023asknostr
You guys having fun over there?
Pegging commodities to bitcoin sounds like price controls?

I hope you include the 251sats you got zapped
Miners are too busy mining while the rest of us play with our #nostr toys and hold onto our bags.
I wonder if a Facebook style friend model is worth exploring. The idea that you just connect with someone and it’s both ways could flatten the hierarchy. If you want to ‘follow’ someone you agree for them to follow you. Could be a very different dynamic. Imagine if Elon mush had to reciprocate each of his follows 😂
Perhaps it would require a change in protocol and maybe it’s a totally bad idea. But would be interesting to explore.
Great article thanks.
I guess it’ll be very much up to user choice, we can’t stop clients being built that are effectively chocolate ice cream for our minds. But we can build clients that are nutritionally balanced and allow educated users to make that choice.
Also I do believe that some of the charitable orgs fighting against social media damage might well be willing to fund and support Nostr client development, they are perhaps unaware of Nostr and in need of educating.
Nostr clients like #damus have a Twitter like UI because we are all used to using Twitter. However, Twitter and other social media UIs were developed with the goal of capturing and monetising attention. Using addictive ui tropes like “pull down to refresh”, to keep us hooked, milking our attention for their advertisers.
Could #nostr be an opportunity to rethink some of these established ui trends and optimise for user wellbeing rather than manipulating our addictive nature? #asknostr
I’m finding damus almost more addictive than Twitter, partly because the content is less toxic and irrelevant to me. I can’t spend too long ontwitter because I’m put off by a lot of the content, despite the UX’s best attempts to keep me addicted.
Damus doesn’t have this repellant part of the equation so I find myself endlessly scrolling bitcoin memes.
