It is extreamly easy to make an account. I am not suprised TBH.

A silly question to fellow Nostriches: are all accounts here real?

I am quite impressed with the amount of followers nostr:npub19jfsjxx7gtw2t52qepx93ek57fdstfwszct3qqwzns4zxmvsc5gswf8rx0 has been getting honestly without having too much traction. And I wonder if these are real people following the club 🧐

I don't think so. I've looked as some of the profiles that follow me and a lot of them have no posts, no comments and not many followers. They just follow 350 people.

It is true that cardio kills gains. It is even a saying among gymbros. But it is the most effective way to loose weight. Yes, you can start training for muscules before you are skinny but even though you are muscular you'll still look a bit fat.

Doing cardio exercises is really good. Physical movement will make the process go faster. I've heard that martial arts are good too. If you have time consider it.

That is good. I have nothing against Simplex. Except that comparison table. There are many more eyes looking at the Signal source code than Siplex. And many more eyes have looked at the source code of Signal than Simplex.

That doesn't change the fact that almost nobody I know uses either of the two so they are both useless to me. πŸ˜…

You can't claim that with Simplex either. Yes, you can run it yourself but that doesn't mean that they can't run a modified version. You can also run a Signal server if you want but it is way harder and I can't find much information on how to do it.

Simplex definitely doesn't have better reputation than Signal lol.

But it is a table made by Simplex themselves. Of course thy would make their product look the best 🀣

Alright. Let's say that you want to get into bitcoin. You just learnt about what it does an you wan to use it the proper way. So you go to the local Bitcoin ATM and put $100 in it thinking that you will get $100 (or at least $90 after the ATM's fees) in BTC. Later that day you check your self custodial wallet and you see that you only got $25. You are very confused. You look around and find that the fees are extremely high and most transactions are not worth it right now. What you also find is that "amazing" system called the Lightning network that is made for the sole purpose of making the Bitcoin transactions cheaper. Alright cool you still aren't discouraged by the fees so you decide to start a node. While researching on how a Lightning node works and how to start one you find that there are at least two transactions involved. That means that you'll need to lose at least $140 to not lose more. This is when you get mad and decide that Bitcoin isn't your thing so you quit.

Oh, but you'll use custodial wallet while waiting for the fees to get low. No, this breaks the purpose of Bitcoin.

Oh, but can't you just wait a week or twot to see that fees lower? No, the economy doesn't have a week or two.

Bu... But that only happens once every 4 years. No, fees were sky high (still not as much compared to a few days ago) at the beginning of last year.

TL;DR is don't make Bitcoin hard to get in for newbies if you want adoption.

PS: I self host my own email server, a Lightning node and a bunch of other things.

The best fucking marketing ever. You get a lot of single women and you get a lot of men looking for single women. Fucking genious
