Building muscle while trying to stay lean might be one of the hardest things to do in modern times.

Hey nostr, I was the "carl pic" spammer and while it probably went overboard my hope was to help incentivize people to help solve the lack of cat pics problem.

A note to all Primal users. We are working hard on making Primal much faster and more reliable. We already deployed a more performant web app. Please let us know if it works well for you.

Major updates to all Primal clients are in the works. Thanks for your patience, it will be worth the wait. 🫡

frustrated enough with nostr clients that i want to create my own

Why are most profiles suddenly with generic avatars and names on Iris? This is not cool. I am not "little hare". This is embarrassing.

No system can be perfectly efficient.

Even #Bitcoin has unspendable UTXOs

Apparently Nostr did grow ~25% right when Twitter got killed in Brazil:

Gm.

It seems that it will be very hard for Brazil to identify and enforce the fines on VPN usage for Twitter/X. But it’s a powerful scare tactic.

When the United States banned gold ownership in the1930s (which lasted for four decades all the way into the 1970s btw), they didn’t really enforce it at the household level. They just had large prison terms that were rarely ever applied, which effectively dried up liquidity in the gold market.

Some people have pointed out that Nostr relays could be blocked by Brazilian internet providers if Nostr was big enough to matter. However, more relays could spin up, so they’d have to keep adding to the list.

Brazil’s government could then say it’s illegal to use VPNs for any Nostr app around internet censoring. The defense against that is to make Nostr as ubiquitous as possible. The more apps that tie into Nostr in some way, the harder it is to ever ban it in practice. Some people might not even know their favorite app uses Nostr. Imagine if everyone’s favorite short form app, long form app, podcasting app, reviews app, wallet app, recipes app, picture app, music app, and tons of other stuff are tied into Nostr, and how hard that would be to ban.

If Nostr becomes big enough to really matter, it’s because it’ll be tied into so many different things. That’s super powerful. And the devs keep building rapidly.

Olá, Brasil

Olá, Brasil

The #bitcoin nostr is bigger in english or portuguese ?? Because i think i read that it was created by an brazillian

Sparkling water is insufferable.

The amount of times I accidentally drank it in Europe has only amplified my hatred. Sorry, not sorry.
