Is there a good resource you recommend to read up on it? I was going to follow some YT tutorials to see if I can figure it out.

On a scale of 1-10 with 1 being "No technical ability" and 10 being "Expert coder"

How difficult is it to set up and run your own Nostr Relay?

The point of this post was to let people know damus’ current runway, we are not “giving up”, I was simply giving some perspective on how damus’ current funding strategy is not going to be sustainable long term and we will be looking at alternatives. “likely the last year” is just referring to the uncertainty around the business model and funding.

Damus has had amazing support this past year from individual users, opensats, hrf, which has been unimaginably helpful for getting damus to where it is today.

The feedback and ideas on this post have been very helpful, and will be taking everything into consideration for 2024 🫂

Thanks for putting up with my dramatic notes 😆 nostr:note1l2s7wyqg5xz7ke6t20p03t9awk629utr6wxjjmg7k4cqr0eflrdql5p5ke

Yep that worked!

Interesting. I’ll try that. Didn’t know you could be logged in with npub. I’ve downloaded and deleted the client a few times, seems possible it logged me out of my nsec.

Same. Am I missing something with Primal iOS mobile? Can’t like any posts, can’t repost, can’t click on certain aspects of my profile to edit.

I am all for progressing each client, but for all the hype about Primal, it’s been basically nonfunctional for me on mobile.

Our data is so incredibly important. Maybe we need to work on explaining why that's the case?

I feel like Vitor has Amethyst going as a side-side project with all of the other businesses he has listed on his site.

Then you will get ads

Reminder that grid scale so-called “renewable energy” in solar, wind is neither renewable, nor does it provide energy when needed most, nor most of the time.

That was my thought too. Damus is going under, imo, because it's attempting to build a freedom app on an unfree platform. Like trying to build a house on sand, if the foundation is corrupt, even the purest app will be forced to succumb.

I think Android is going to be the best platform for Nostr going forward.

the free version does not provide real time protection.

I ended up going with Avira Antivirus.

Thank you!

Can anyone recommend a decent free antivirus for Mac OSX Catalina? Asking for my wife who has a mac mini she uses only for photoshop stuff, nothing mission critical, doesnt use the machine for anything financial etc, but rather be safe than sorry on the network especially since Catalina is no longer supported for security updatse. thanks!

(yes she will be installing a linux distro on it eventually).

libretranslate has been broken forever, we just need to remove it. the wine one is best, I also wrote one which we’re providing as a damus purple feature so that it “just works”

Nostr wouldn’t be where it is without Damus. If this project were to get phased out, that would be a massive blow to Nostr.

Speaking strictly from Primal’s perspective, we *need* projects like Damus to be successful. If we are to make a credible argument that Nostr is different from the legacy platforms, users need to have many good choices of clients and services.

One year is a long time in Nostr terms, and I am optimistic that Will and the team will figure this out. But if/when Damus and other projects introduce paid tiers, please consider the bigger picture when deciding whether to sign up. You won’t be making a decision just for yourself. At this early stage your support might help some projects survive, as well as change the trajectory of Nostr itself.
