Bitcoin and Nostr only, everything else is ...... just fine

Does anyone have an idea how long it normally takes to get an invite code for nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm ? I have been on the waiting list for 1 week now. I would really like to try their products #asknostr

Ok, I did it too. No more aggressive, influencer, useless, meaningless, posts for me. Bitcoin and Nostr only

Bye bye x

Ok Derek. I'm a paid member now. Since I have not been here that long I am always a bit skeptical, actually in all my decisions :-) But if you recommend this then I have confidence in it. I have contributed to good oss projects before, glad I can do the same now for Nostr

Someone 21 sats zapping does not amount to anything, I do this many times a day, and I love it. I will always zap more than I get zapped, this feels good. I sometimes give a fist, a thumbs up or a heart on WhatsApp. But this feels different, better, much better!!! gn frens, love you all 💜

And don't mention the name ;-)

I know we are all here for freedom and privacy, but still 🙂

Is not going to stop I fear, more to come. But honest question, will the relays continue to accept this? Surely this takes up a lot of unnecessary disk space, can this continue? I'm not really bothered by it myself anymore though

If you’re looking for temporarily relief from ReplyGuy now is a great time to try https://filter.nostr.wine - keep your network view/reach without all the noise.

A few are still leaking through but our rate limits/repetitive message filters are keeping the majority out of sight. nostr:note1u5fyx2k2f3vfh9hca3mlxhw39ukl982dzfu7fz6e70xzwu5pjupqtkxc0z

Hello Mazin, I am looking at nostr.wine. Is this a one time pay subscription? And what about the “Add Time” feature? What is that?

ReplyGuy spam sucks, however it's allowing for the emergence of a stronger and more robust Nostr. If we have a wide open communication protocol, that means that anyone and everyone can participate if they choose to do so. ReplyGuy is nothing. Trust me. It's so insignificant compared to what's coming in the future. ReplyGuy is a wake-up call to developers, but also to users too. None of us should be complacent when we need to be vigilant with our social communication. This is a mere scrimmage for what's coming down the road. Use this time to build solutions. Use this practice game to fine tune your relays.

You can choose paid relays or choose smaller community relays, such as those built on WoT or other metrics.

We have a lot of choices for paid relays. Maybe you'll use nostr:nprofile1qqsrmpp2lmx4u2fl9zmxy7fnwp9rlwxwz5a2j8tep2c376n494z2gtgpzamhxue69uhkxun9v968ytnwdaehgu3wwa5kuegprpmhxue69uhhwetvvdhk6efwdehhxarj9emkjmn9qyt8wumn8ghj76twvfhhstnwdaehgu3wwa5kueg6jsgtg's wss://nostr.wine or nostr:nprofile1qqs99d9qw67th0wr5xh05de4s9k0wjvnkxudkgptq8yg83vtulad30gpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezumrpdejqz9rhwden5te0wfjkccte9ejxzmt4wvhxjmcprpmhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wdmksetjv5hxxmmd8wgv5w's wss://nostr.land as your paid relays. You can find more at https://nostr.watch by nostr:nprofile1qqswwud0pvzu362lehm0av6sq4zd97cue5uy0z8f7jgtk0hz368dvmcpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgtcpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhszxrhwden5te0dehhxarj9enx6apwwa5h5tnzd9az72445kh.

What are WoT relays? These are a semi-new concept. They can be invite only or they can be constructed via a person's personal Web-of-Trust follow list.

For example: You use use wss://pyramid.fiatjaf.com by nostr:nprofile1qqsrhuxx8l9ex335q7he0f09aej04zpazpl0ne2cgukyawd24mayt8gprfmhxue69uhhq7tjv9kkjepwve5kzar2v9nzucm0d5hszxmhwden5te0wfjkccte9emk2um5v4exucn5vvhxxmmd9us2xuyp if you are invited by an existing user. Additionally, you can use wss://wot.utxo.one or wss://nostrelites.org if you're in the Web-of-Trust of either nostr:nprofile1qqsw9n8heusyq0el9f99tveg7r0rhcu9tznatuekxt764m78ymqu36cpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuat50phjummwv5hszymhwden5te0wahhgtn4w3ux7tn0dejj7znxpeu or myself. (Meaning one of us follows you or one of the people we follow follows you, going one layer deep in our social connection.)

More WoT relays will pop-up or already do exist.

As the outbox model grows and gains popularity, smaller community relays will become the normal way that people use Nostr the most, IMO.

If you're a relay operator that's combatting spam, feel free to shill it down below in the comments.

Hey Derek, can you give me a hand here? I'm definitely up for paid relays, and looking at your 2 proposals (nostr.wine, nostr.land), it's not clear to me yet if this is one-pay or pay-per-post or something, I'll figure that out.

What do you suggest? Just use only different paid relays or keep using some free ones too. Or is 1 paid enough (seems unlikely) ? Still fairly new but want to keep learning. Keep doing what you are doing, you are all building something fantastic here

Just watched the debate between Peter Schiff and Jack Mallers on yt. I like Peter, an intelligent man who is often right in what he says about gold and money. But what he says about Bitcoin is usually wrong. What strikes me most is that Peter is mostly anti Bitcoin and pro gold (I wonder why.....) while Jack understands both

Peter, leave the Bitcoin talk to Jack, he knows more about it. Good debate though

GM. I hope you've had a great weekend

I don't care about zaps, I don't care about followers. I am a Bitcoiner who feels like this is homecoming. I love this place 💜

Somehow I can't zap anymore, coming up ;-)
