Who needs some zaps.

My word plebs, it’s like an electrical storm, we feel the love!

But please save some sats to send to the nostr noobs when we invite them all (not yet!)

Going to sunday dinner with the whifes family.

Time for som purange pilling to do🧡💜

🌸Pura Vida 🪷 Happy Sunday 💜☕️

Pura Vida Casa Nostra

Bitcoin talk -> Reddit -> Twitter -> Nostr

Altcoiner/scammer proliferation is what causes Bitcoiner exodus. There will be a brand new round of scams for sure, but Nostr looks like a place that will be built by and made for Bitcoiners.

hope y'all are having a nice Sunday :) <33

GM 🌞

Had an interesting exchange with a few PPL in a quite "woke" IT forum today. They think Nostr is a fad and Mastodon is the new Twitter, specifically mentioning "My bubble is now there". Has the extreme left forked off?

Honest break down of where things are today:

#1 nostr 🔮 has a user base that is accessible from any nostr client. Currently that user base is approx 10k DAU of high quality pubkey ie pfp, banner, completed NIP-05.

There are approx 100k DAU of all pubkeys. This has happened organically. No paid downloads, not even any ads. Nostr has had quite a bit of attention and this has spiked awareness several times. 😁

#2 Content, naturally we spend a lot of time talking about nostr, protocols, Bitcoin, Twitter, this is great and these subjects are well served here but whilst we are all very enthusiastic about this stuff, we should also engage broader subjects too. People love travel, clothes, food, etc. Don’t let other subjects whither before they get established.🤔

#3 Zaps ⚡️, the integration of money into the network is a game changer and a huge achievement by everyone involved. The potential here is almost unlimited… if the community grows. But we have to collectively earn that community growth, all of us, together.😏🙂

What can those of us already here do?

#A we should make a big effort as a community to help new people landing in a chaotic Global feed to navigate the showers, find some follows and crucially; set up their pubkey. By setting up their pubkey they are making a small investment of time and closing the “I feel like an outsider” gap. 🥹

#B Try creating a new pubkey today and see what the experience is like for a new person coming over without the signal tuned. It can be difficult to navigate the rawness of Global and find active engaging people. Let’s be mindful that it’s very early for nostr, setting up a pubkey and tuning signal is a learning curve and requires effort, I try and spend some time each day fishing people out of global and helping them. 🎣

#C New users are the fuel, as nostr has passed various milestones new friction has emerged that we should seek to address. For new pubkeys there is a lot of spam, this chokes onboarding and poses a threat to the network. Nostr needs growth and to achieve that we must overcome onboarding, that means:

i) Pubkey set up, pfp, banner, bio, NIP-05

ii) Spam filtering, make this easy / default

iii) Signal tuning, aka discovery 📡

It’s important to try out each client as a new pubkey and see what the experience is like, whichever has the nicest experience is likely to be the most used client after a year.

I feel like there is a valley of death to cross where the network isn’t quite large enough to support some things but needs some things to attract more users. Let’s be honest about this and continue working for it.

… and keep the zaps ⚡️ flowing that’s basically the community bootstrapping itself to the world 🌎

gm nostr 🤙 What ya’ll up to today?

🌇 pura vida ✨

The widespread implementation of NIP-57 signifies the end of anonymous zaps. In a way, it was good to received sats without knowing who sent them. But I guess that’s still possible if we use the LNURL button in the profiles

Happy Birthday #[0] May your future be full of happiness and adventure!

GM everyone!

My zap signature is 1618 ⚡️

Why so high, one Nostrich could say?

Because how we value things is different to each of us. Imagine just second that you receive 1'618 ⚡️ for a piece of content you created, art, crafts that i personally valued enough to part from so much sats.

Those sats in return were gradually gathered from other Nostriches valuing my thoughts or they even came out from my wallet all together? How would you feel? Wouldn't you be empowered to continuously improve or use all your skills better?

Value4Value denominated in a finite asset is powerful Nostriches.

Stay booked in CR. Definitely 💯 going to #nostrica 🇨🇷 🌅 🌞

⚡️ ZAP ATACK⚡️

Who wants some Sats ASAP💥⚡️✨

I was just zapped 611 sats. For a LN Node runner (beginner) this is 1 month of "earnings".

I will keep reinforcing my LN channels and add liquidity soon regardless of the incentive as the primary incentive is not monetary.

Node runners will make zapping possible for 8 billion people. Run a node Nostriches as it is our duty to serve 🫡

Just deleted another 2 million spam notes from the NostrGram database with 110 known spam urls in them. Now it's time for bed. Goodnight all. 🛌
