You can have the strongest encryption in the world but if implemented incorrectly it’s as good as having none. That’s the part most Orgs go wrong with.
Quite why these fuckwits think trying to shitcoin scam in a place full of Bitcoin Maxis would be a smart use of their time and resources isn’t clear to me.

“A fool and his money are soon parted”
This much I’ve long known, what I don’t think I appreciated was how many fools are out there constantly being scammed in all sorts of things.
How do you approach friends and family who are fools, easily parted from their money? 
That will be the vibe. Recall how the M5M blamed everyone but themselves for Trump’s election, dragged social media to congress, pointed fingers at Russia, shat on “flyover states” etc. - we’re going to get all that, except our version of retard self-flagellation will be race-based.
People who swim in sewers shouldn’t be surprised when they get covered in shit.
Paid relays list at https://relay.exchange
Australia 🇦🇺 is going to have its very own Trump / Brexit moment.
The upcoming Referendum which is supported by the University-educated virtue signalling class is set to fail.
Watch for Australia to be deemed the most racist country on earth when that happens as the backlash from the “elites” turns inwards against those who oppose their idiotic policy. 
This is more Musk bullshit. Say something that sounds good that will be caveated out the wazoo but makes him look good and he’ll never follow through with.
Wait 3 months when someone is sacked for posting on Xitter and they think Elon will pay their legal fees for disputing it - it’s NOT gonna happen.
Disagree.
Blockstream is effectively advertising here already because they know who they’re targeting without needing data collection. Nostr, when it segments to communities and locales, will have effective advertising options the same as classifieds, local advertising, and trade publications used to.
Nostr.com.au is funded through the end of 2023, I’ve chucked some money at it myself but it’s probably 3/4 User funded.
Over time I see the relay model becoming more community oriented so having an Aussie relay makes sense - it’s a convergence point for people joining #nostr to follow not just more local people and content, but importantly - people active in their Timezone (a real challenge with just time based feeds).
I’m hopeful something like https://nostr.kiwi becomes a frontend for Users to converge on topics around a relay set. Things like Damus / Amethyst will probably feed off aggregated versions of these subsets.
Then we’ll have commerce type relays and other more content specific types (music, video etc) which will again bunch people by interest.
Ideally it gets to a point where Users have turnkey relays for their private groups, can join a local relay set for communities, then have higher level aggregator types for state / national topics.
The construct of #nostr isn’t there to rebuild Twitter, it could (we’ll see delay mirroring and rings and all sorts of stuff in future) but that’s not the purpose nor the killer usecase. When Users start to work out how to use it as a sovereign / uncensorable platform that’s when new models will unlock and new paths will be seen.
For example, imagine if Joe Rogan decided he was going to join #nostr to distribute pods and shittalk with ppl - what would that look like? Well he’d probably need a relay / content infrastructure all of his own, and it would spawn a whole bunch of adjacent things but they’d likely revolve around communities / personalities / topics, and people will pay (micro transactions at least) for access if it means sovereignty online.
We’re scratching the surface here of what’s possible at the moment, the flexibility of building on #nostr is going to change everything.
2 days without internet was glorious. Got to cook twice, walk to the beach, hike near a river, drive to The Twelve Apostles, read a book, play with the dog, have proper conversation, enjoy some wine and just disconnect from it all.
My gf was very hesitant about it, she’d never even considered taking a break from the internet but she joined me and was really happy she did.
I barely even thought about the collapse of the fiat system! 😂 nostr:note1ylyjcfs37apsztktcnfj6nsaa0fy40adq58mhjtld44d9t8al24sdesv9c

Said it before and I’ll say it again - pay attention to what Cramer says. He is there to signal his friends in the Cathedral so now you know what they know. 
Koalas are fucking horrible animals. They have one of the smallest brain to body ratios of any mammal, additionally - their brains are smooth. A brain is folded to increase the surface area for neurons. If you present a koala with leaves plucked from a branch, laid on a flat surface, the koala will not recognise it as food. They are too thick to adapt their feeding behaviour to cope with change. In a room full of potential food, they can literally starve to death. This is not the token of an animal that is winning at life. Speaking of stupidity and food, one of the likely reasons for their primitive brains is the fact that additionally to being poisonous, eucalyptus leaves (the only thing they eat) have almost no nutritional value. They can't afford the extra energy to think, they sleep more than 80% of their fucking lives. When they are awake all they do is eat, shit and occasionally scream like fucking satan. Because eucalyptus leaves hold such little nutritional value, koalas have to ferment the leaves in their guts for days on end. Unlike their brains, they have the largest hind gut to body ratio of any mammal. Many herbivorous mammals have adaptations to cope with harsh plant life taking its toll on their teeth, rodents for instance have teeth that never stop growing, some animals only have teeth on their lower jaw, grinding plant matter on bony plates in the tops of their mouths, others have enlarged molars that distribute the wear and break down plant matter more efficiently... Koalas are no exception, when their teeth erode down to nothing, they resolve the situation by starving to death, because they're fucking terrible animals. Being mammals, koalas raise their joeys on milk (admittedly, one of the lowest milk yields to body ratio... There's a trend here). When the young joey needs to transition from rich, nourishing substances like milk, to eucalyptus (a plant that seems to be making it abundantly clear that it doesn't want to be eaten), it finds it does not have the necessary gut flora to digest the leaves. To remedy this, the young joey begins nuzzling its mother's anus until she leaks a little diarrhoea (actually fecal pap, slightly less digested), which he then proceeds to slurp on. This partially digested plant matter gives him just what he needs to start developing his digestive system. Of course, he may not even have needed to bother nuzzling his mother. She may have been suffering from incontinence. Why? Because koalas are riddled with chlamydia. In some areas the infection rate is 80% or higher. This statistic isn't helped by the fact that one of the few other activities koalas will spend their precious energy on is rape. Despite being seasonal breeders, males seem to either not know or care, and will simply overpower a female regardless of whether she is ovulating. If she fights back, he may drag them both out of the tree, which brings us full circle back to the brain: Koalas have a higher than average quantity of cerebrospinal fluid in their brains. This is to protect their brains from injury... should they fall from a tree. An animal so thick it has its own little built in special ed helmet. I fucking hate them.
Tldr; Koalas are stupid, leaky, STI riddled sex offenders. But, hey. They look cute. If you ignore the terrifying snake eyes and terrifying feet.
