Yes. Here're some details (based on Iris):

https://github.com/irislib/faq#username-nostr (how you can refer to users by linking or typing a URL)

Searching them: https://github.com/irislib/faq#search-notes

You can also get an Iris username which is short and easy way to share a link to your nostr profile: https://github.com/irislib/faq#iris-username

Yes, I did figure out how to easily link to my profile, which is awesome. Feels much more like linking to my twitter profile (for example). And if I understand it correctly a person can navigate there and view it without setting a nostr key pair.

The rest of this is great information, thank you!

I’m finding the same thing. Searching the nip05 name is hit or miss. In iris I had better luck than Snort and damus. But the pubkey works the best.

Yeah, that makes sense. It makes me wish I was a developer instead of just rooting from the sidelines.

Also, #[3]​ envisions niche communities building on Nostr eventually. Whereas right now your cycling club might be stuck using Facebook groups (for example), in the future it might be easy to build a better community space on Nostr.

This is a fantastic conversation about #nostr. #[1]​ and Kevin Roome really cover the bases, from use cases, to incentives, to clients, to much more. Really has me excited about the future of this thing. #plebchain

Yessir. Or a cold. Or god knows what else.

But I hate wasting food and one of my favorite pastimes is overeating at dinner. 😂

The current garbage incentive model that every social media company relies on is why we need #nostr. We have to create a new paradigm built on generating value for each other, not just capturing attention.

Nah it’s a good question. Probably the most popular one, and the easiest for what people do on Nostr, is wallet of satoshi.

Do you have any bitcoin yet?

Maybe. But even then, they'll probably to talk about other things besides bitcoin. Breaking the network effects of current sm platforms will require lot's of different communities to come to nostr. #[2]

I believe that just bring up your system default bitcoin lightning wallet. You only need to worry about that if you want to send or receive “zaps”, which are bitcoin micropayments.

Here are a few.

If I think of others I will send them your way.

On Medium in case the blogstack link doesn’t work.

When I click this link the post doesn’t come up. This is what I get. But I can navigate to the post from the blogstack.io main page.

Anyone know what’s going on?

This is one of my favorite songs right now. I think any fans of Bruce Springsteen will really enjoy this album.
