Good morning Nostr from Zambia 🇿🇲

Interesting takes by levels.io on lex fridman in the context of being a diginal nomad:

“Freedom doesn’t make you happy, constraints do” -levels

“I am free thats why i am lost” - kafka

Freedom is pretty great, but constraints (family, kids, relationships) keep us locked in and focused. Thats how i interpreted it at least.

Maybe, but the effort now vs when I first started using Nostr is a lot less in my opinion. I couldn't stand it at first, but I was able to about a year later and even went Nostr only in that time. So 3 years from now may be tolerable for a lot more people. Plus, a company could make it a lot easier by managing nsecs, for example. People could signup with an email and password or whatever like normal and have it tied to an nsec. Defeats the point, in my opinion, but it could be a way Nostr grows. The niche aspect then would just people who take self-custody by creating their own keys offline or something like that. Bitcoin isn't so niche anymore. Holding your own keys still is though.

I dont know if people realize this, but compared to Twitter, Reddit, Facebook...

Nostr cant die.

The others can die, and eventually will do so as their centralized companies decide to sunset the services or go bankrupt.

Nostr on the other hand, as a protocol, can persist indefinitely, even if it is just niche. It may not look the same years from now, but I hope the spirit does.

Hey, what lightning instance do you run on your node?

For your case, you could give apps customized permissions via NWC to use the node, which often is more secure, quicker and easier to implement within apps.

You could also create subaccounts on your node for some purposes (like creating wallets for new users, with some or zero balance).

Just jumped down the earthquake rabbit hole… I had no idea how dangerous they are.

The more you know.

It’s ok, I’ll just use another relay then ☺️

Allergies so bad this morning I'm thinking of burning entire house to the ground, moving into the mountains and validating the entire blockchain
