You need a paid (meaning: pay-to-write) relay for others to easily see you. The small payment acts as a spam filter.

Most users (myself included) ignore content on free relays unless we explicitly follow the person first.

Relays are listed on: https://relay.exchange

If you want a recommendation, nostr.wine is good because it comes with two relays, the second being an aggregator and filter of popular free relays to kill the spam. The nostr.land relays are also very popular.

You'll need some sats in a Lightning wallet to pay.

You can add as many paid relays as you like without paying (pay to write; free to read). So pay for 1 or 2, but add 8 to 10, and remove all of the free relays from your client.

That will get you into the “real” nostr. A bit of friction to set up, but very worth it once inside. Huge signal with very little noise. I think you will see a lot of engagement, probably more than on Twitter.

Is there a quick way to explain how to pay like where do I get the invoice?

I think the best way to describe Jason Lowery’s misunderstanding is that he doesn’t know the map from the territory. He looked at the map, got really excited about it, and decided it was the territory and then wrote a thesis on this.

Bitcoin is not just merely the “heaviest chain” rule. Bitcoin is an agreement by millions of people that having a common way to exchange value apart from government or corporations is fundamentally useful.

You can’t destroy this with nonces.

In a stunning move, the New York Times has teamed up with ChatGPT, the popular language model developed by OpenAI, to provide readers with helpful annotations that point out the fascist tendencies of any subject mentioned in an article.

In a statement released today, the Times explained that this partnership was formed to address the rising tide of fascism in modern society. "We've noticed that our readers are increasingly concerned about the rise of authoritarianism and the erosion of democracy, and we wanted to do our part to help them identify it when it appears in the news," the statement read.

According to the new arrangement, any time the Times reports on a subject that exhibits fascist behavior, ChatGPT will provide an explanation in the margins of the article. For example, if the Times were to report that Florida Governor Ron DeSantis cracked down on journalists, ChatGPT might interject with a helpful note explaining that such behavior is a hallmark of fascist regimes.

"We think this is a great way to help our readers stay informed and stay vigilant," the Times statement continued. "With ChatGPT's help, we can make sure that no one misses the signs of fascism when they appear in the news."

Reaction to the partnership has been mixed, with some praising the Times for taking a stand against fascism, while others have criticized the move as partisan and divisive. "This is just another example of the mainstream media pushing their liberal agenda," complained one reader. "They're trying to brainwash us into seeing fascism everywhere."

Despite the criticism, the Times and ChatGPT are moving forward with their collaboration. They have promised to continue providing readers with the tools they need to identify fascism whenever it rears its ugly head. "We're in this for the long haul," the Times statement concluded. "We won't rest until every reader is fully equipped to spot fascism from a mile away."

My first reply and my first notification…🎉

You can multiply the noise there by the signal here in then divided by the product of noise here and signal there and you get the same comparison.

It’s true.

Not sure how to do screenshots but Stolfi is posting fun LN FUD on boobtooth

“Conversely, a node that enters into a payment relay negotiation in good faith must reserve the required capacity from its relevant channels until the negotiation completes, successfully or not. So a malicious Alice can sabotage the LN also by requesting lots of path payments to her buddy Charlie through other Bob nodes, and letting those requests fail by timeout at either end.”

I should probably just read the docs but since I’m playing around with the app I will ask how is this stuff hosted where is it hosted?
