I hope someday reposts and zaps completely replace the need for “likes”/🤙🏼.

Reposts and zaps are true value exchange…and have a real cost: your reputation or money.

Likes are superficial and exist only to inform an algorithm.

Relevance algorithms have their place, but they are best informed by a truly costly action.

Bridges could be built.

Bluesky is focused atm on purely social media. nostr is a lot broader than that in my view.

So I think they will be competitive and ideas will be copied between both.

Most important thing is we have multiple experiments and ideas all towards same goal, which is taking the balance of power out of centralized corps.

Weird they would charge more of iOS, considering they get a shitton more data and the ability to push notifications 🤔

🤔

How did everyone get interested in software, and what do you hope to learn or build next?

My dad got me interested in computers when I was 5 years old during MS-DOS days, he showed me the command line, games, and built computers on his spare time. When I was 12 years old, I was exposed to IRC through online game matchmaking. Coded my first computer scripts on mIRC, and almost immediately knew my dream job was (and still is) to be a computer programmer. The rest is history. Took all the computer science and engineering courses, and joined the FIRST robotics team in high school, went to university for computer science, moved to San Francisco to build a career in technology.

Hope to learn more about Bitcoin and Lightning. Admittedly, I’ve understood them to only a certain degree, but convinced that they are the future of money. Excited to build on decentralization concepts like nostr. Excited that technology has advanced so rapidly, meaning more people are learning and building life-changing concepts and experiences on top of these foundations. 🤙🏼

Couple questions about zaps being linked to a note: is a zap just another event? Either way, can clients determine whether someone is self-zapping their own notes (presumably to elevate them) so they could ignore them in displayed zap/sat totals?

Paid! Drop a follow? 🤙

Turns out I passed 500 followers 🤙 To celebrate I’ll be giving out some sats ⚡️ I want to reach smaller profiles, ones that are newer to Nostr and maybe bitcoin/lightning too.

I’ll be giving out 2k sats to accounts that follow me with at least 5 followers (so they’re not just bots) but less than 100 followers! Drop your invoices below! Let’s shoot for 15! 🤘

need stemstr, homie!!! Too many damn steps to get it from daw to nostr!!!

Who wants a zap ⚡️? Hit me with a 🤙 in the next 10 minutes

🤙🏼⚡

I’ve used this. It was good, but crashed more often than expected when running in docker.
