Fake News. It wasn’t me ;)

Would you rather have $4,000 USD one time or 40,000 sats per day for 4 years?

Would you rather… Having people around you who are reliable or people who are honest? 👀

Crap like this pisses me off. I subscribe to MLB.TV because my family wants to watch the Royals play baseball. Then we run into blackout situations. WTF? We paid to watch the games.

I think this is a great opportunity, whether it’s NOTSR or Odysee or some other distributed model to shake up the sports industry.

I wish I had the time and skillset, but I don’t. So hopefully someone in this crowd can do it.

I use bitcoin because I saw my parents’ retirement accounts crash in 2008. They had to work for an extra decade to make up for it while bank execs got bailed out.

My understanding is that rebroadcasting is pretty standard right now. Many relays are also reading data from other relays to make sure they don't miss things.

It's an interesting set of tradeoffs and one that most users aren't aware of yet, I don't think.

One way that I could see this playing out over time is that as a user you're discerning about which relays you're connecting with for what purposes (or more likely, the clients that you use are the one's making the choices).

This would mean that maybe on Damus you're fine to connect with lots and have your content pushed out as wide as possible, but for chat apps or other use cases, you'd only connect to specifically private relays.

The private relay use cases haven't really been explored much at all so far.

#[5] probably has lots of thoughts on this too.

I’ve noticed over the last few days that European timezone Nostr is so much quieter than Americas timezone Nostr.

Is that just who I follow or more global?

The idea of an alps Nostr conf is becoming more necessary in my mind every day. 🤙

Some of the issues with h.

- There are broken threads on notes where I see a response but can’t see the note they are responding.

- How relays work is confusing for users in terms of how a client uses their relay list.

- If you follow a user and they switch relays you may no longer see their notes. (So what does following mean in practical terms.)

- If you drop a relay you can lose followers.

- Users have little or no visibility into where their social graph data lives.

- Clients are inconsistent in implementation of events and data provides with notes posted.

- Bandaids (like Blastr posting every not to every relay) are not a cure, but hide the disease.

- When possible clients should post notes with the “cookie crumbs” that will help smart clients follow a trail to find them. (It worked for Hansel & Gretel)

- Clients should provide more visibility into the association of users, notes, and relays. (I believe some clients are showing where the note was found.)
