Should I consider another solution to displaying "liked by"? 😄

The worst thing is that my image resizing proxy wasn't keeping up with requests, so avatars are now loaded full-size from origin. My mobile browser crashes when trying to load 300 of them.

I just code through meetings

I've been dealing with Bitcoin since pre-2013, and I've gotta say I've never seen it feel as powerful as it does on Nostr. The instant, effectively-free transactions that spring from having so many people on Lightning Addresses is like arriving on a different planet.

Most people's experience with Bitcoin payments -- if they even have it -- is a 30-60 minute wait for mining + two-plus block confirmations, and a fee that made it feel dumb to send less than $20. Most people don't want that. They don't need that. They will never care about that. Some do -- I did -- but it's a permanent minority. This is what makes lightning-fast settlements a big deal.

When normal people and businesses realize that global money transfers can be borderless, instant, free, and only take like two clicks, I think things are going to get very interesting. Still need to cover a lot of road on the privacy problem, but this already feels better than everything naked on-chain.

The hardest problem has always been making it easy for people who don't care about Bitcoin to accept Bitcoin (tender resistance) -- without requiring them to start caring about Bitcoin.

The way you do that is by making it "better than money." We're not there yet for everybody, but for the first time in many years, I caught a glimpse of how it might be possible.

Nostr makes me miss my coding days. Don't grow up, kids!

do you think the new update will help with that?

Fleeing from Mastadon.. Nostr is the future.

Cool (especially the last part haha)!

I'm living the dream of working a Bitcoin job: some LN node monitoring, improvements to options trading, and finalising LN Markets weekly recap newsletter of Lightning news for last week
