✝️ Faith 💟 Family 💪 Fitness 💸 Financial Freedom 👨‍💻 Bitcoin and Nostr developer in Africa 🇿🇦

Imagine paying more than 5,000,000 sats a month to get permission to post to Nostr! 🤡

This is why nostr wins in the end. It’s a positive reinforcing loop:

Dev uptake => better tools => more users => more zaps => more devs…

Gm Nostriches, happy stacker’s Tuesday, where we now see cheap sats at anything less at 1100 sat/$ (2020 me 🤯)

Great work nostr:npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev for the guerilla open access manifesto, really hit with me, publishing MY work, not getting paid for it and the publisher getting control…… and guess which journals have the best reputation? Those behind the biggest paywalls!!!!

Speaking to my line manager yesterday, “you can get some good ‘3 and 4 star’ articles published”,

me: I honestly like the work I do and people actually read it, not that fussed about any arbitrary “star rating”.

If you want any of my research, just ask. 😘

Downloading… 🤓⚡️

Couple minor issues:

- Zapping yourself (apparently a feature not a bug?)

- Don’t allow multiple zaps by default

- see more… 🤪

Anyone built a nostr:npub1y2qcaseaspuwvjtyk4suswdhgselydc42ttlt0t2kzhnykne7s5swvaffq using a raspberry pi or zero? Can’t find these parts in South Africa!

nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg please. Don’t do this..

Don’t put a “see more…” unless you are truncating at least 2 lines of text!

It really irritates me when you click “see more…” to see less!! 😝

See more 🤦‍♂️

Mmm.. I hear ya! It’s frustrating to watch others profit by selling out to the fiat advertisers. 😤

But “those that live by the algorithm will die by the algorithm.” It’s all gone if the algorithm changes, or they are deplatformed, or the advertisers dry up..

Stick to your PoW. 💪 in the end Bitcoin wins. Value 4 value wins. Nostr wins.

“Show me the incentives and I’ll tell you the behaviour..”

On X you get rewarded for engagement, so the behaviour is to post the most controversial, rage-baiting comments. (Couple I’ve seen recently attached.. no value added, just inflaming comments to goad people into replying)

On Nostr, you get rewarded for thoughtful or helpful posts, so the behaviour is to go out of your way to help people; trolling and negativity is rarely zapped!

It’s a self-regulating system like bitcoin..

It will take time, but I believe that in the end #value4value wins.

nostr:npub1cj8znuztfqkvq89pl8hceph0svvvqk0qay6nydgk9uyq7fhpfsgsqwrz4u Good job knocking out your podcast about Primal’s 2.0 the day before. Great resonance generated with the immediacy on release.

Hearing the passion of nostr:npub16c0nh3dnadzqpm76uctf5hqhe2lny344zsmpm6feee9p5rdxaa9q586nvr for all things Nostr was great! Loving v2!

LOL, I’m sure I’ve heard this story but I can’t remember coz I’m too old!
