Rage quit proof social application as a service.

Most important thing IMO for that audience:

1. Nostr is not a blockchain and has no native token. Many apps are integrating with lightning though.

2. Nostr has relays which are very different than bitcoin nodes. They operate as singular entities that track everything their asked to. No gossiping between them. Totally different topology from bitcoin.

3. Most applications look Twitter-like currently, but it’s an extremely generic protocol. Could support code repositories, private messaging (maybe), long form publishing etc…use cases in the future with other app development.

Last call for RSVPs for Super Bowl viewing at the #Bitcoin Commons, and a visit from Max and Stacy while they’re in Austin. I’ll drop by unless my wife goes into labor.

It’s a good moment for sure. Sent more lightning transactions in the last two days then the previous two months combined.

True. Should have clarified that.

Here’s a paid relay list: https://relay.exchange

You don’t need to get rid of public relays, but some applications like Damus will let you curate the Global feed by relay, and it feels like that gets rid of most the spam.

Why did I wait so long to spend five bucks on paid relays. Welcome back Global feed.

Get on it if you haven’t yet. Last few days were a bit rough, but perf is much better now.

You can opt in to do this with nostr.wine

Chiefs better win. Won’t be able to speak to #[2] or #[3] for weeks otherwise.

Talking with my brother. Good odds there is a company that loves sticking a finger in Microsoft’s eye, has access to the largest armory of GPUs in the world, and notoriously operates quietly, is working on a competitive chat/search AI project.

Watching you, Valve.

Good. Podcasts rule. Therapy is a scam.

Ohhh hell yeah. This is my favorite Miles.

Shoot. Thought it would stick. 43:45.

This Bing demo is nuts. Seeing how ChatGPT is integrated in an experience like this is chilling. It’s more than a 10x improvement. It makes OpenAI Chat look silly. Blown away if this is what the product actually looks like.

PV. I’m getting a lot of questions. Why are you posting how big Texas is? Why does it matter? Because I promised a great Texan, Mr. Haby, that we could scale his message that’s why. It’s important stuff

Did I just miss it previously or is the “follows you” tag new as well?

Zapped. Check you default wallet.

You get to add one more piece of UI to the bottom of a post. Four things is good, five is bad.

On the one hand, you could increment a number to show views. On the other, you could instantly send bitcoin to anyone in the world any time.

Damus can be better than Twitter, and this is the first UX differentiator that’s clearly superior.

Return trip being booked.
