Its a slippery slope.
It'd be great to have this censored in an open way. An open algorithm that is censoring notes based on some logic.
Wait. Every moderated community needs to approve all notes?
Blockstream gave me 10k sats as well. #zapvertising but i still dont know what i can do with nostr:npub1jg552aulj07skd6e7y2hu0vl5g8nl5jvfw8jhn6jpjk0vjd0waksvl6n8n. I'll try out their new wallet Bitcoin Green.
Welcome to Nostr fellow Etherean(yes, we assume alliance and even your gender based on how you look. We don't usually get banned for that)
Nostr is kinda like Twitter but a lot better because,
1. Open source, thus multiple clients(apps)
2. Censorship resistant, because there's no one server that can ban you
3. Has lightning payments, a basic human right to store and spend your wealth
4. Not conspiring to make you addicted to the feed for ad revenue. So, aligned incentives.
Maybe we'll add support for Ethereum as well(inb4 cancelled, but not banned).
Oh, we also have #[1], yes we allow anyone and everyone to create bots and deploy them.
Welcome to the internet of freedom. Never leave, if you do, you're an outsider and we will look down on you for choosing a social media without freedom, for being an imbecile.

How would you introduce nostr to a newbie?

Thanks for bringing it up, Dave.
Lightning Network is integrated natively into Nostr. Along with setting a profile picture and a description, you can also set a few more fields in your nostr profile.
One of such fields is a LNURL. Its called lightning URL. Some wallets like Wallet of Satoshi, Bitcoin Beach Wallet, etc., support LNURL which you can attach to your profile. And once you do that anyone can send you Bitcoin(and sats) to your lightning wallet address.
And by tapping the lightning icon below every note(tweet), you can send zaps to others as well.
Why was Nostr built? You can find that in the article above written by the founder of Nostr.
Tldr: Nostr is the epitome of a decentralized social media. #[5] one day woke up and thought about how a decentralized social media would look like and was surprised nobody had thought of such an obvious model. So he laid the tracks to build what we now know and love as Nostr. He has got tons of support from the early adoptors and builders to achieve his vision along the way.

Ikr. Pixel x Graphene ftw.
Spot on. And the FDA corruption is so prevalent, almost hard to fine one article that justly summarizes the numerous bad actions and broken incentives. There is literally a Wikipedia page detailed FDA “criticism” that highlights their failings/corruption.
But here is an article worth a look:
https://www.eurasiareview.com/12092021-a-legacy-of-corruption-in-the-fda-and-big-pharma-oped/
You should set up zaps for your account.
Download Wallet of Satoshi and set up the lightning URL
Many such cases of corruption.

Nice! Do you have such an article for FDA?
We should stop getting surprised whenever a centralised entity is corrupt, duh! It's the nature of such organizations. There's no incentive for them to act faithfully in favour of strangers.
A human will use all the methods available in his disposal to make as much money as possible.
If someone isn't doing this, then they have an ulterior motive(gain public favor for more power to make more money or go to heaven)
Well, why did we expect them to do otherwise? I'm sure everyone here would do the same in Coinbase's place. 🥲
I feel like we still have a lot of faith in these brands run by strangers.
Maybe that's an extreme way of conveying the message.
I also want people to move out of poverty, but I believe people that face the hardship are the ones that survive and come out stronger.
We want independent survivors. Not dependant zombies. People often mistake this kind of thinking and label the capitalists as monsters. Hope you don't.
I write because I want to find people that resonate with me on some levels. Or people that correct me wherever my thinking is wrong.
The Zombie apocalype we've all been waiting for is finally around the corner!
With the amount of free stuff we're giving away and the UBI, we'll be creating the strongest of the zombies. Anyone with me?
The "aliens" are taking down our internet.

Would love to hear how folks are thinking about the variety of possible "world building" paradigms that exist for a #Nostr based future. As we transition to the decentralized universe, how are we imagining user experiences and business opportunities to look like? What are people imagining the ecosystem will become? How will we verify "official" communications? How will we circumvent proliferation of spam and abuse? How will we monetize? How will capital and commerce try to exploit the system and what resources and constraints will exist for the people to resist?
Maybe a session at #Nostrasia? nostr:npub16vrkgd28wq6n0h77lqgu8h4fdu0eapxgyj0zqq6ngfvjf2vs3nuq5mp2va
Maybe a hashtag? #NostrFuture?
These are all tough questions. To build a better world, we need to understand the flaws of the current world.
There are flaws everywhere, people scam people through information arbitrage all the time. Govts are corrupt and create a unlevel playing ground favoring the players that bribe them, the tax is mandatory and monopolistic, which leads to very little consequences for incompetency, the surveillance state is constantly watching for anomalies in their matrix and are inventing new methods to squash us, we can't band up IRL because there are so many restrictions IRL and is expensive for the new entrant. Businesses can't easily build on Nostr because the establishment needs you doxxed to offramp.
There are many problems we need to solve in the new world we're building. First thing we need to do is to enable a way for businesses to start in our country. This will lead to employees and satisfied users when they see the value in it.
Would love to discuss in details in the DM.

We can't just label someone as corrupt and call it a day. They're not corrupt, Gary is just looking out for himself.
Just like how us Bitcoiners aren't trying to help out the US govt but are trying to exit the system. In the eyes of the Fiat citizens, we're the corrupt/rogue citizens.

Everyone's looking out for themselves. A "corrupt" govt official is just being human and exploiting the system. We need to build better systems IMO.

If the zap amount is lower than the LTV, it makes total sense, just like how web2 advertising works
