I'll be working on the central coast of California starting mid March for a couple of months and this is what I'm looking forward to. This is what I did every night off last time. Treat yo sef!

Ultimately, you shouldn't need to worry to much about relays unless you want to join a specific one such as a community or you want to run your own.

13 is a good number. You can explore more relays by visiting https://nostr.watch

Was the client that asked about relays Amethyst or Jumble.social ? I mentioned both today.

Amethyst supports a method called Outbox and Inbox. This is the future and makes Nostr more robust and decentralized.

Jumble allows you to browse relay feeds. It's pretty cool.

I believe the one that mentioned write relays was nostrudel. Also, I would like to learn about running a relay if you can point me in that direction. I guess in general is there a place to learn about all of these different concepts that is easyish to digest?

I've read it twice. It was very eye opening. I've been trying to get some friends to read it but nobody really is interested. I was able to get one to start and they gave up. Maybe I'll succeed at some point. Happy reading.

Can someone explain nostr telays or point me in the right direction to learn more. I am connected to some 13 relays on primal. I don't know if that is necessary. Sometimes when I go on Amethyst there are things there that I don't see on primal. I just tried out some other clients and they were wanting me to connect to write relays. Seriously, how am I supposed to know which relay is a write relay? This all seems a bit over whelming.

Well, I deleted both NWC connections, created a new one and linked my Minibits wallet and my Alby Wallet (which is just linked to my minibits wallet) and now I can zap from my mobile and my laptop. However, Alby doesn't show the correct amount of sats anymore. Currently just gonna take the win that they are both zapping and hoping the amount will get ironed out at some point!

I recently got an Alby account so that I could log in to nostr clients more securely. I linked it to my minibits wallet so that I could do zaps from primal on desktop. I already had the minibits wallet connected to primal on my mobile. I can now zap through Alby on desktop but I can no longer zap on my mobile... Any ideas as to what is going on and how to fix it?

Good Morning! I've been on nostr since May 2024 but have never done an introduction so here goes.

Professionaly, I travel around the US and sometimes the world working at nuclear power plants. It's contract work so when I'm not doing that I do some traveling just for fun (this summer I walked across Spain on the #caminofrances), spend time with family and friends, and learn new things.

About 7 years ago I decided to start learning as much as I could about technology and dove into linux, server admin, programming, etc. Turns out I'm not very good at programming but for some reason I enjoy learning about it. Lately I have been exploring machine language and cpu architecture type stuff. I have no use for it, I'm just curious about how computers work at the lowest level.

In the process of learning about all this tech stuff I stumbled down the bitcoin rabbit hole. If learning about bitcoin was the only thing I got from the past years of learning about technology then I'd say it was a worthwhile journey. I just wish it had peaked my interest sooner.

Anyways, I started trying to familiarize myself with nostr after my trip this past summer by documenting it on here. It's a work in progress and if you're bored feel free to check it out, but only if you are really bored, it's not interesting at all, it's mainly just for me to learn how to use this new freedom technology.

So that's it I guess, consider myself formally introduced. Maybe one day I will have interesting things to post on here or in general just try to be more engaging. Also, feel free to give me advice on the best way to use nostr. I've seen some people get upset about how people use hashtags and as someone who really isn't all that in to social media I don't understand what the decorum is on internet manners.

*assembly language, not machine language...
