How did I get to #Nostr?

2011: I met nostr:npub1yvscx9vrmpcmwcmydrm8lauqdpngum4ne8xmkgc2d4rcaxrx7tkswdwzdu

2014: We discovered #NoAgenda

No Agenda taught us the importance of

★ #ValueForValue

★ community

★ #Bitcoin

We created a #v4v podcast: Bowl After Bowl

2020: nostr:npub1h23zm63v3nxmplqdy2p0gtplfnfagpflassk73c2fq2kxc6sqrsskr6gq6 & Fletcher invited us to guest on Hog Story

Podcasting 2.0 is born, inspiring us

★ to get a #Sphinx tribe rockin

★ find a local BTC meetup

★ utilize the lightning network for boosts

★ read boostagrams every show

★ build nodes

2021: nostr:npub1udgz58rr47hxj963aytu6y4msuvpgmzgfwaz3q3hapj2d5j05clqwpd0ds is inspired to create THE FIRST #soveregnmusic album utilizing RSS and invites Spence into the project

★ the AbleKraft podcast documents the process

★ Stay Awhile from Able and The Wolf is released Christmas Eve 2021

★ an unlimited amount of artists and musicians can receive value splits for the song(s) they were involved with thanks to the self-hosted RSS feed

★ the term #DeMu, decentralized music, is coined

2022: The LiveItemTag is implemented

★ #BowlAfterBowl Ep. 137 Bowls With Buds ft. Dave Jones is the FIRST to implement the ⚡LIT⚡ tag

I get set up on Nostr but never utilize it

2023: StevenB creates TheSplitKit allowing podcasts to easily implement value time splits and wallet-switching LIVE

The FIRST DeMu-only V4V podcast, #HomegrownHits, airs

2024: I found Nostriches interacting with my Mostr bridge and made the hop back over here

nostr:npub18gp8p84hjmjh9zejdlyqqcg22sj6x3qra0q2ng4v6cxxg95sav8q0mcg5e helps us get the FIRST boostable disco ball up and running

THE FUTURE IS ⚡LIT⚡ AND I AM SO HAPPY TO BE HERE

Thanks for this history summary. I’m happy that I was one of those Nostriches who interacted with you over the Mostr bridge. 😁 Let’s keep spreading the #DeMu word.

Julian Assange gets more time. The UK courts delay extradition to the US, requiring the US to assure he will have his First Amendment rights upheld and that the death penalty not be used.

Last month I started playing a song of the week on #freedomtechwrap. It pumps me up to see those songs showing up Top 40 chart of Wavlake after the episode comes out. 🔥 This is still early and the play counts are small, but we’re all moving the needle!

Support the small indie artists that have found their way to #V4V!

It sends a message to other artists that there is a way for monetization. It hasn’t been this direct from listener to artist since musicians were selling albums out of their car trunk. 🚗 Now you can get that experience on a global scale.

(Paper Money and The 5th Horse were the latest two songs featured on Freedom Tech Wrap. nostr:npub13ql75nq8rldygpkjke47y893akh5tglqtqzs6cspancaxktthsusvfqcg7 thanks for experimenting and showing the way.)

K what’s the auto-zap stuff all about? I missed a news story somewhere.

This one was difficult 👀 😀

running your own self hosted freegpt on nostr:npub126ntw5mnermmj0znhjhgdk8lh2af72sm8qfzq48umdlnhaj9kuns3le9ll and being able to query it from anywhere in the world feels like a freaking super power.

Truly is a freeing experience. I recommend it to anyone.

Research linking smartphones and the effect they have on mental development among children. It also discusses how difficult it is for a single family to solve because non-phone children are surrounded by phone kids, so they also deal with mental health issues due to loneliness. Recommends we make changes together as a society.

Recommendations

1. No smart phones before high school (9th year)

2. No social media before 16

3. Phone-free schools

4. More independence, free play, and responsibility in the real world
