nostr:npub1spdnfacgsd7lk0nlqkq443tkq4jx9z6c6ksvaquuewmw7d3qltpslcq6j7 if you’re onboarding someone onto Nostr, do you have a preferred getting started guide of some sort?

Would love any links I could share! If not I’ll make one.

Didn’t find a really good guide/channel yet if the person is not technical so now i say β€˜go install nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg on app store’

Sent my first #NIP-34 patch to update the Readme.md in https://github.com/fiatjaf/gitstr and faced some challenges along the way. Despite that, i learned a lot a long the way.

Still confused on where/how to best set the list of relays?

The `naddr` #NIP-19 in the gitstr repo is telling me to send patches to wss://nostr.fmt.wiz.biz but that failed. After adding the primal relay it took my PATCH.

Is there any way to set a list of relays to send patches to?

Haven’t had any social media/messaging app on my phone for over 2 years

Since 3 months i have made an exception for nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg and i feel great about it!

I thought everyone had figured that out by now that disabling all notifications (desktop/laptop/phone/watch) is like the abc in productivity

Fuck me 😁 Where i wrote Bun i meant to say Deno. You are using Bun in the test suite.

Tnx for clarifying. Your name came up in the commit because you last touched these files.

I learn the most by reading and playing with code. So after reading NIP01 i wanted to play with the tests nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6 wrote in the nostr-tools (TS) repo.

Ported some tests to Bun (v2) and saw a 2x speed in signing/verifying events (obviously all related to runtime improvements) (screenshot below)

No plans to continue writing these tests. What's the point of optimising a test suite that takes 7 seconds to run 280 tests outside of `deno fmt` (which is awesome). But i do wonder if the current relay implementations in Typescript (nostream, nostr-relay-nestjs) will have to deal with performance as Nostr gets more popular.

Wishlist for nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg in 2025:

1. Post drafts savable on local device.

2. Native gif search during post creation creation.

3. Comment auto fetch when scrolling below the fold.

4. Treat tickers, like $MSTR, like hashtags.

5. Create Legends page listing all Legendary profiles, accessible when tapping on the legends badge.

6. Fix keyboard stutter with #GrapheneOS keyboard.

7. Fix failed posts when using the built in privacy proxy.

8. Strip photo metadata automatically before uploading.

9. Treasury in #Bitcoin then display proof of reserves somewhere in the app for all to see.

8. is such a nice privacy feature πŸ’―. I've been holding back sharing pictures on social media just because I'm not sure which meta data (from phone) is being shared.

Who manages nostr.com? I want to file a PR to fix some typo's and broken links

It's time. 100k BTC today?

nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg not sure if this is a feature or a bug but i was told my avatar is a 12 megapixel image.

Just swapped it to a lighter image, but you might want to check/validate/resize avatars to save you some bandwidth?

I would say stick with Raycast if you can. Don't install apps to do stuff Raycast can do (emoji picker, system monitor, clipboard manager, window manager).

I suggest you to look into hyperkey. It's a concept that changed my mac usage (everything is mapped to hyper key).

There is an app https://hyperkey.app/

mweh. Raycast + Cleanshot. Use it 100s times per day and IMHO it's better than Shottr

This is not a story about Ron Jeremy.

This is a story about a man and his company going ALL IN shorting the fiat system.

I've been talking about microstrategy for a while now on the channel.

I have been fascinated by the strategy and the balls on Saylor.

But today will be the last time.

Why?

Because I believe it's a distraction.

I think people should be focused on buying, earning, and protecting their bitcoin.

In a few months from now, you will be competing against the US government for bitcoin.

Building your own strategic bitcoin reserve should be the top priority.

There are also two big risk involved with owning MSTR shares:

1. Microstrategy holding bitcoin on your behalf

2. Your stock broker holding MSTR shares on your behalf

Bitcoin has no counterparty risk.

Does that mean I'm selling my MSTR shares?

Absolutely not.

I see MSTR just like bitcoin - HODL for a very very long time.

Bitcoin is designed to go up forever.

And MSTR is adding rocket fuel to that.

But unlike bitcoin, I am not attached to MSTR.

I plan on keeping about 50% of my shares forever, and using the other half as needed.

For a yacht or something.

So without any technical discussion or NAV debate, here's why I would consider grabbing a few MSTR shares:

1. They are shorting the fiat system. A system that was designed to fail and about 20 years past it's expiry date.

2. They are using the greatest asset in history to short the worst asset in history.

3. They already have 330,000 bitcoins. No other entity on earth will be able to catch them.

4. They are front-running nation states. If bitcoin becomes the world reserve currency, and MSTR has more than most (or all) nation states, think of the implications.

5. Most people - including your financial advisor - have not figured this out. Which is where the opportunity lies.

6. They will be added to the QQQ index and likely the S&P500 sometime in the next year or so. This will create massive (and passive) demand and move shares into long-term storage.

7. You can hold these shares in a tax sheltered account. Your capital can ride the bitcoin wave without having to worry about paying tax on the gains.

8. This is only the beginning. They have MUCH bigger plans for MSTR. They will utilize bitcoin and lightning in their current operations. They will either start or acquire a bank and deal in bitcoin. They will offer fixed income bonds on the bitcoin. They will start or acquire insurance companies who currently own ZERO bitcoin. There is no limit to what this amount of collateral can do.

Saylor will continue taking on debt to buy bitcoin as long as the spread and demand stays high.

Eventually the big money will realize that they should be holding their own multi generational wealth in bitcoin.

The rules will change so they can hold bitcoin.

But by this time, MSTR will already be the #1 company on earth and will have insane amounts of constant buy pressure from the funds.

That's when Saylor will shift gears and starts putting his collateral to work - to earn more bitcoin.

Nobody understands how truly scarce bitcoin is.

But we are about to find out.

Moral(s) of the story:

- NEVER SELL YOUR BITCOIN

- If you have some capital in a retirement fund, move it to MSTR

There will absolutely be a movie made about this.

In the big short, Michael Burry made $800 million.

Michael Saylor is already well above $8 billion on this trade.

And will likely become the world's first trillionaire - by shorting the fiat system.

Jump on and buckle up.

PS - Microstrategy bought another 55,500 bitcoins while I was typing this.

Bringing their new total to 386,700 bitcoins.

Maybe. But he should provide proof that he owns the 386k BTC though...an important note missing from your article

New Primal app (using IOS) is awesome. But still looking for a great IOS/silicon client. Tried damus (but crashes), primal web but want a native app and Nostur but don't like the UI.

Any tips? #asknostr #clients

Not sure what we're calling for here? Regulation? Censorship?

We gave Marques this much power/reach by giving the keys of the algorithm to big-tech.
