I'm not against restrictions that need to be for legal reasons. In fact, they might even strengthen Nostr, as governments would be less prone to fight it.

Of course, laws change around the world and there would be relays in different countries, so that which one relay won't host another will.

What are some of the most popular hashtags on #Nostr and what is their meaning?

In fact, let's start with #asknostr: is it to ask questions about Nostr or to ask any question to the Nostr community?

I'm interested with all sorts of hashtags that are especially common on Nostr, *except* those related to Bitcoin (because that's the most predominant topic regardless).

What wallets would you recommend #asknostr

With #Amethyst, i can undo like. I don't know if its only a flavor thing however. I put one im your note. Tomorrow i will try to remove it

I want to save my crypto in Exodus wallet ,the exodus wallet will be installed on a mobile device which is used only for this purpose, it will be offline when I don't need to use my wallet, is this a good way to save crypto?

#asknostr

I accidentally liked something that I want to undo the like for. But it's stuck and not updating. Do I just need to try again in a moment? Are non of my write relays listening to my request at the moment? #asknostr

People have difficulty comprehending the amount of #Linux Distributions: they see 1000+1 versions advertising themselves as "xxx OS".

I think that the #Linux naming scheme should be better. A fork of #fedora gets its own name like "Ultramarine OS". This implies that it is a standalone #Linux distribution, from scratch. This is not the case, as it is just #fedora with little, little tweaks and pre-adjustments.

Some forks:

change desktop environment,

remove or include bloat,

add a few preinstalled apps,

use a different theme,

test it,

change wallpaper, calling it a day and almost branding it as their own.

You can litterally automate the abovementioned tasks (downloading apps and desktop environment, theming and remove bloat) and get the same result.

I don't think this "issuance" of brand identities should be that easy (yes, they've scarcity).

It is like the ship of Theseus. How much can you change while being the same?

I think Linux distributions should be classified using these factors:

- upstream or independed presence

(#linux distributions like "GrapheneOS" that really help create solutions)

- extensibilty (download manager etc)

(Biggest usability difference)

- why it stands out

(special features like 'yast' from #opensuse or homebrewed contributions)

- purpose

(servers, users, lightweight, bitcoin, supercomputers, mobile, stability, etc)

- philosophy

(to predict where the project is and will be going.)

I think that the name should always tell if it is using #linux kernel/#bsd.

then, the name of the independend distribution.

then, the other upstreams and its own name.

#Linux>independend distro>upstreams and own name

(could be in a different order.)

So Examples Given:

#Pop_OS! --> #Linux #debian #ubuntu pop

#Fedora --> #Fedora #Linux

#Linux #mint #debian edition --> #Linux #Debian #mint

#Android --> #Android #Linux

#Manjaro --> #Linux #Arch #Manjaro

#ChromeOS --> #Gentoo #Chrome #Linux

#Ubuntu --> #Linux #Debian #Ubuntu

#Void #Linux --> #Linux #Void

As you can see, some distro's will get a really absurd name, implying that it is a fork of a fork, which is in my eyes pointless.

or it could be something like

`Linux Mint.deb`, `Linux Bitkey.deb`

It would make it alot more understandable for new users and also limit the pointless forks so that it is easier to focus code review and audits.

I feel like such a boomer. I can't get gossip to work lol. #asknostr

It sucks being in a position where all my peers in the MSP / IT Consulting industry use and sell products that I am morally opposed to. I'm still trying to find the balance where I can offer good products and services to my clients while offering them an alternative to the closed source proprietary ecosystem that most businesses rely on. I can certainly make more money reselling Microsoft 365 than setting up Mailcow and Nextcloud. And it takes less maintenance. But Microsoft is evil. Is anyone else in the position? Do y'all ever sit your clients down and explain the difference between industry standard tech and it's FOSS alternatives? Help a brother out! #asknostr

I searched for that but the file is just ~58k fr.

Agreed, you always need to be aware of your counterparty risk. But in terms of scaling solutions, what if a #Bitcoin friendly nation developed an L2 or fedimint. Yes you're trusting an entity not to rug you and there are potential privacy issues but I'm pondering an ideal government-bitcoin relationship.

What if the CBDC was an open source L2 (or higher) on #Bitcoin?

Looks like I'm gonna have to stop using NOSTR. It seems that in the last month or so (roughly since I started actively posting from my travels) NOSTR has eaten up so much data that it's financially unsustainable for me.

I only operate on local 4G SIM cards when I travel and don't have access to public wifi very often - I'm not a digital nomad going from coffee shop to coffee shop and coworking space to coworking space, 95% of my time is spent somewhere in the woods or desert.

I'm terribly sorry about this, as NOSTR is my favorite platform and if I had any real enthusiasm for growth anywhere, it was here (unlike Twitter and Facebook). So if anyone happens to have any ideas on how to avoid this huge data consumption (like only using 1 app? Or just on a laptop in a browser? Or somehow remotely? Or do some magic with relays?), I'd love to get back to actively posting on NOSTR. But I'm shutting down for now, because realistically I don't have the money for more internet this month, and next time it'll be a decision between food and internet and guess what wins based on the opinions of the rest of the family :D.

So see you guys. For now...

#asknostr 🤔

According to my actions, I 100% denominate my wealth in #bitcoin. But mentally I think I am only about 50% there. Is it just me or is it very difficult to lose the mindset of measuring one's wealth in fiat terms? #asknostr

UPDATE: I got it. looks like it was waiting for an onchain transaction, but nothing in the UI indicated that. Were good now but that was scary and not sure ima fux with lightning for a while. Phoenix has given me nothing hut issues since instarted using it a year ago :(

Thanks everyone for help <3

Hi #asknostr #plebchain

Do you have spare testnet Bitcoin? need to test a wallet and need some, please 🥺

DM me if so. Thanks 😊

Thanks for the info.

I think I’ll go with something like a Start9 hardware setup.

Noted.. I’ll be sure to back it up, and not be looking for profit for a while. I’m mostly interested in the experience of running it.
