What’s the best hardware wallet for beginners?

People are starting to ask me and really don’t know what to say.

👋 Hello, I’m Hegeezias.

I typically make abstract art using traditional mediums. Excited to see all of the #art here and share some of my own!

Gm nostriches, feeling like I have a mammoth of a day ahead, headed to wales and lots of manual work to get done before getting back to my mother’s to head out for dinner with my daughter (#wifestr home sick). But then what does Wales meet me with this morning!!!! Fack. But first #coffeechain then sort the #pocketsteak to fuel me through the day.

Accurately counting how many people are following you is impossible. You will always see different numbers in each client.

Why is this, you may ask? It is because of how follow lists are stored on the relays.

When you follow someone, their npub is added to a list that is posted to whatever relays you specify. This makes it very easy for a client to display how many people YOU follow. It just has to find your most recently updated follow list and add up the number of npubs listed there. Done.

When someone else follows you, nothing different happens. Their follow list is updated to add your npub. This means there is no unified list stored anywhere with who is following you. Instead, the client has to ask as many relays as possible, "Please send me any follower list that has FLASH's npub listed on it," and count how many it receives after weeding out the duplicates.

What if there are relays that are down? What if not all the relays it asks are currently reachable? Or even more likely, what if the client isn't asking every single relay that has a follow list with your npub on it? Well, then your follow count will be less than the actual amount.

Follower counts should always be considered an approximation at best.

I sat with my back against the mast and read a few pages from Hemingway’s The Garden of Eden. I looked up at the sky and went below to grab my camera, as this sunset was one I wanted to remember. #freedom #photography
