Also interesting, the #Nostr retention rate is actually getting worse. In fact, it's been getting consistently worse, over 6 months.
One could say, as client's get more polished, fewer people decide to stay ;) Of course that's probably not the reason.
For every daily active user on #Nostr, there's approx. 0.2 relays.
Wow, #Nostr has grown by 900 daily active users, over 6 months. That's impressive!
At this point Nostr feels more like a small community forum, rather than a social network. It's cozy, that's for sure ;) Sort of like a sub-reddit for Nostr / Bitcoin users. A niche, in a niche.
Who are these fu** people that think it's okay to scrape my email from somewhere, to tell me about their new javascript framework.
I'd like to add Elon Musk to this list.
I guess that's what dictatorship get's you.
Man, they are in your phone and on your computer; They work with your utility providers and ISP. They track every bit that enters and leaves the network; They know better who you are, and what you'll achieve in life, than you; and if they wanted you to dissapear, you will - branded as whatever they want you to be.
Maybe not you specifically, but probably.
They have already won the war, by any measure.
If anything, Bitcoin and Nostr are a seed, to resist ...
A tool that runs on their infrastructure, to destroy them from within?
In many ways, they have already won.
Nostr and Bitcoin run on top of surveillance tech.
oh, let me check it
or you can download lume v1.2.6 on github here: https://github.com/luminous-devs/lume
Cool, thank you. Will give it a try today.
To all those poor losers stuck on Apple hardware https://sneak.berlin/20201112/your-computer-isnt-yours/ (granted, same applies to Windows, Android and even Linux, if you're not considered)
That's an awesome picture btw
Why is there an assumption, that we'll be able to keep AI off Nostr, if we so desire? Why do people assume that paid-relays, are immune to bots and spamming? Nostr is tiny. Why wouldn't a spammer pay a couple of cents, to spam on a premium server? Hell, it might be stolen money or coming out of a rug-pull.
Why is there an assumption that bad actors wouldn't pay?
Hasn't Twitter shown that this is complete nonsense?
nostr:npub14mcddvsjsflnhgw7vxykz0ndfqj0rq04v7cjq5nnc95ftld0pv3shcfrlx I just watched your latest episode, and I find it curious, that when you talk about the impact of job losses - all that's being talked about is, what has already been lost - translation, design and so on.
Why is the discussion never about, what we're going to lose? Your guest was a developer, who claimed to find much use in AI for debugging and improvement - how difficult is it for you to imagine, that he'd be completely replaced by AI?
How difficult is it for you to imagine, that an AI would simply be better at your job? Better at running a foodball club; better at running your podcast; Better at .... well, I mean, if Midjourney is any measure, why is it so hard for people to imagine, that virtually every job is about to become obsolete.
And isn't everyone that's putting AI to use now, to replace design / translation / copywriting / developing work, just feeding the devil? I mean sure, everyone's doing, so you've got to, too - but really?
The equivalent in the Bitcoin land, would be buying US government bonds. Isn't that supporting a system, that we've found to be destructive?
It seems what people consider "normies" varies significantly. When I'm refering to getting normies on Nostr, I'm refering to more people in the Linux space; People doing research on things that don't involve Bitcoin - basically people that don't already have a deep connection with Bitcoin and Nostr (and use them, for that very reason).
I'm here because the protocol is exiting and I enjoy working with it. It's fun developing a client for the sake of it, and being able to join a network and put it to use immideately. I'm also here because I didn't much care about my Mastodon server, and about social media in general - but working on it, is a different thing.
But that's exactly it. The people that are here now, are here because of Nostr; Or because nobody else would have them - but I think of Nostr much more like the invisible layer, people don't have to think about - and that means, it really isn't a debate about reaching more normies on TikTok, it's about getting more people on Nostr, so I don't have to worry about where they are - and how to access them there; So that we have other normies, that are geeks in their own things ... gardening?
I sure wouldn't mind to read more about gardening, than how Nostr fixes everything.
1050 TH/s for 650W https://asicrun.com/product/ar1-miner/. Is this a joke?
> We should have lots of topics specific relays in the future.
Sounds like Mastodon.
> As well as large paid relays to meet people.
I'm still not sure about this. People like Twitter exactly because they don't have to think about which Twitter server they are on.
