Zaps, while such a simple action, are one of the most innovative features happening across all of online social interactions.

Likes are silver, zaps are gold. ⚡

Yup. Gotta curb the nerd pride and build bridges for normal people. Otherwise this risks becoming a big circle jerk.

So I tested the twitter revenue thing, boy that's gonna help them.

Doesn't mater how we feel about it, they are building the sticky incentives.

It actually pays relatively much more than I thought, for doing nothing you wouldn't already done. That's magic for ppl.

Which brings me back to economically meaning zaps. Zapping a beer counts, zapping sub dust limit won't attract the normies.

The competition and the normies are not morally aligned with us. Ppl are busy living their lives.

BREAKING: Paul Krugman announces inflation is defeated.

“In the battle of inflation, the Federal Reserve has prevailed.”

I'm never going to take a "recovered alien body" photo seriously if it looks humanoid. We flatter ourselves thinking they'd look like us. You want my attention, you need to show me a cuttlefish adapted for space. It better not be cute, either. It needs that "long-distance trucker estranged from his family" energy. I need to feel so sorry looking at that poor bastard that I get jet lag by proxy.

Best selfhosted alternative to google docs? Looked for shared excel support.

Have no comparison to twitter, but I've learned almost nothing about how bitcoin works here, if that's what they are getting at.

Primal’s trending algo is no longer easily gameable by bots. We implemented a new system based on web of trust. We will publish more details soon, but the high-level idea is to infer humanity of a pubkey based on its connections in the social graph. As always, full source code for this system is open and available in our repo.

Given this new capability, we removed everyone from the "can't trend" list. This means that every Nostr account is able to trend on Primal; they just need to post a note that produces genuine user engagement. We will monitor the results of this, but it is possible that a global "can't trend" list is no longer needed.

The best part: Primal’s trending feed got a whole lot better!

Node address?

Those are the early adopters - with a similar world view and shared interests. When that ends, and it gathers much more users, it will go back to miserable drive by replies from angry strangers and dogpilings.

Incredibly grateful for all the people coming through and providing inbound liquidity to Olympus.

The biggest criticism of the new app so far has been incoming payment routing failures. With this help, we're making great strides towards improving this UX.

We're going to turn Olympus into a massive destination on the lightning network.
