Happy Nostr Year! 🎉
definitely agree to all this! darker box for special release, though.
it's coming - plata o plomo
exit now before it's too late
Nostr native music is here!
This is a proof of concept, that I might build out further if time allows. Expect bugs, missing stuff, you know the drill.
Using custom event types, no NIP yet.
Integration coming to x21 soon.
Wavlake and the likes can easily integrate by publishing their tracks as nostr events.
Feedback welcome! Haters, buzz off 🤣

Easy is custodial and convenient is the path that leads to confiscation, and many choose it. But difficult is self-custody and narrow is the road to sovereignty, and only a few find it.
To note or nostr note, that is the question.
wild times in the world 🤙 wild times on nostr
I should clarify that I don't need any of the transaction info, just #blockheight and header info
I am doing research around orphaned blocks - does anyone have any good direction around where to acquire as many orphaned blocks as possible? My nodes have not been running long enough to accumulate the timeframe i'm looking for and any direction or source would be greatly appreciated. 🙏 #bitcoin #timechain
are old laptops with decent batteries unintentionally the best nodes because battery is UPS? 🤔
this coincides well with something i've been recently thinking would be nice to have - a client (browser extension/app(?)) that keeps a local list of people you'd like to follow, shows posts like rss reader, and opens notes to other clients to read full conversations/what-not. something nostr:nprofile1qyt8wumn8ghj7etyv4hzumn0wd68ytnvv9hxgtcppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qqsp9z7qt2n06ssaqrpuxwyn98eeelr4pvp4mdkd45htp7vrhl6k98c0ezkw0 -like but browser app/extension-y. it would provide privacy of following without the bloat of posting follow lists and, I imagine could make on-boarding a lot easier. Public follows are overrated.
nostr got me excited for coding again feeling like the old web and I did a thing last year that was never released because as interesting as it was, what you write kinda emphasizes the reason i stepped away from nostr (along with the rest of social media).
coming back to nostr and social media after a long break, I think the biggest thing is there is a content problem, partially for the reasons you laid out. I think another part of the content problem is nostr clients have just been reproducing the web as we have know it up until the age of social media; centralized, isolated, trust-based, sign up your first born or else. If it wasn't that sort of content, it was bombarding you with ads to do this thing or believe that.
nostr allows us to more readily fit the client around the content - to that end the medium is the message. nostr is not the medium (except to the devs who are and have been playing around) to attract more content but the means by which we want to see the future be built. we need more media which utilizes nostr to attract more people and that will likely change quietly (and somewhat boringly) in the background like nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7etyv4hzumn0wd68ytnvv9hxgqtxwaehxw309anxjmr5v4ezumn0wd68ytnhd9hx2tmwwp6kyvtkx46kv7tgx3kxketnd3nhs7rrvdkxwwrxxp585ct6dpshwdmjwdexsanxw96hs7ndxfnxkd35vvmny6rswv6r2m3swc6n7cnjdaskgcmpwd6r6arjw4jsqgr98zf9a0akv86p3kx86p6tachg4lthsuqamzg8psk6jdk4w8j4cv6qcgkr
But these words hit ring true and need to be repeated for the relay in the back!
what killed me was seeing how consistent entire small communities didn't get payroll distributed by the weekend because a stupid database procedure timed out trying to make the nightly FED cutoff time... often these communities didn't get their money till the following Tuesday
People used to say 'agree to disagree'
I think the analogous contemporary phrase would be 'you can miss me with that (shit)'
... i'm here for it
How is it that i got a weather update via nostr that was a screenshot of someone asking an AI for the local weather and it was more accurate than the weather app on my phone? People are not ready for this.

solid player, still good!
this one is also nice
