iris.to became very unstable for me after you introduced the social network settings, may be unrelated, but that was the moment i remember
i believe i had and it did not solve it. was really desperate and quit using it/nostr. but today, everything works again like the old days. both android app and brave.
same behavior in chrome, brave and the apk
#[0] iris.to has been broken for me since 2 months or so. following fills first up and then blanks in about a second and just shows this. all the other things work (like global feed)
Iris refused to register my username. it's also not working right now, on brave browser mobile. locks up.
Mempool is so beautifully empty. Inscribed a pepe the frog and i have a dream audio sample. sat 513957363829 and sat 948283722829 are so much more now !
💜🧡
mempool almost fully cleared. tick tock
#[0] there is a bug that causes amethyst to crash when doing edit profile. i had an old iris setup that didn't use nostr.build and put the whole jpg as data: in the profile pic view (uuencoded). when amethyst tries to show the field, it crashes consistently. probably a memory overflow. not sure if the spec allows data in that field or only an uri. ( cc #[1] #[2] )
iris.to is on fire 🔥
Stability, speed and their feature list priorities look about right. Don't doubt your vibe ! https://youtu.be/hOEWUm6aGPg
PV ☀️ followers 🤙 zap features 🤙 relay count 🤙 FAQ 🤙 Iris usernames ☀️
What's your take on the follower count? Should we remove it entirely?
#[0]
Your follower count on Iris may seem lower than on other clients. Iris rejects events from authors that your social network has not interacted with. You get way less spam and your follower count number is lower for the same reason.

Thanks for all the comments to our requests for feature ideas and best practises for zapping. You can still jump in and share your brilliant ideas and concerns.

What's the proper amount of relays? Iris account runs well between 7-13 active relays.

Any questions❓ 👉 See the https://github.com/irislib/faq or use the search box for already answered questions.
Get your iris .to / username if you haven't already. The shorter names go first.

great note, iris. would it be better to measure the interactions with a nostr account instead of the contact list ? so, measure interactions last month or last week (sum of likes, replies, zaps and repost). in that case i would find that a much more signal compared.to follower count, and follow count can be dropped
Paid some bills tonight.
✅ 575k Sats to #[0] - 1 year of Nostr Purple
✅ 300k Sats to #[1] for development of Nostream paid relays
✅ 300k Sats to #[2] for development of Nostream paid relays
And watched this interesting chat about paid relays which added to the space I had with Cameri yesterday: https://youtu.be/Sm1iU7lttkI
half a million sats ?? that buys your grandchildren a house 🤯
Nice read I came across this morning:
"Confession: I hate Bitcoin... but...
For years now, I've been anti-crypto. I've called it a Ponzi...I've compared it to tulips...I've found pleasure in the markets grinding down over the past year. I've hated all the cryptards with their rocket emojies and asking "wen moon?". I'm a metal stacker. I love gold and silver. But despite all of this, I just bought some Bitcoin, and here's why.
First off, I want to give a shout out to my man Jerry on Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_VEbZRk9LeDItX_uphKqhA . He too is a metal stacker. He too is a patriot. But unlike me before today, he owned Bitcoin and considers himself a Bitcoin ambassador.
While I still do not think that Bitcoin has intrinsic value, it's not really the intrinsic value that is important here. Like gold and silver and other hard assets, the premise behind Bitcoin is to opt out of the "doll hair" system. Objectively, it makes little to no sense to hold any substantial amount of money in cash/dollars. The government excess and debt policy will inevitably fail. This is a massive alignment with the metals community, and common ground on which I can build.
And though I love metals, we do and will continue to live in a digital age. The longer I've stacked metals, the more obvious it has become that that we will not transact in metals again. Bitcoin makes me uneasy because I cannot physically touch it, but I see its transaction value. And while I do foresee CBDCs and overregulation/restriction by the government, metals and Bitcoin together can provide a risk-diversified portfolio that enables individuals to protect their wealth from multiple possible scenarios that spell doom for the dollar.
For that reason, I will be moving towards a 50/50 metals/Bitcoin portfolio outside of 401k/Roth/HSA investments. All other income not directed to tax-advantaged accounts will go to metals and Bitcoin (and no other crypto). Diversification is important as we must prepare for all outcomes. We do not know how long the dollar system will remain, thought we do know that it is eventually going to fall and must prepare for that, as well.
Anyway, this is a long-winded way to say, I've spent a lot of time shitting on crypto, and most of that is still valid. However, there is a laudable goal in Bitcoin, despite the clownery of the rest of the crypto world. There is greed in every asset, but many of us are just trying to make it through the awful mess we see coming. Thank you."
Thanks for sharing. this is clearly a very smart person, but the poor (of mind) will only learn this when the govs take their last money. That's sad.
Why did Twitter need an algorithm in the first place, why not only show your follows. i used the follows only mode most of the time, the other mode is a time waster.
this is such a nice place, feels like my family's WhatsApp group. well, just about different topics 😊
zapped myself from WoS to lntips. can't see the source of the tips, just that I received a zap or a regular lightning transaction
tough crowd
i have setup the ln.tips bot, can someone tip me something small please? will zap back. #[0]
