There's a lot of apps, called clients, you could be using to interact with the Nostr protocol. Which one are you using?
I am on Amethyst, for instance, and can likely give you some good info on that client, but I would not know much about Coracle, except what all clients share in common.
This is #Nostr, nostr:npub1ehc8fenlp0n70378vqee2je2lphkvqddteprldtcxud230a6njsqj6r6ma
Blink and you miss 10 updates and new web apps that completely changed the experience.
You bet! I usually try and stream playing on the server on Monday evenings from 7-10 Pacific time if you want to check out what the server is like before joining.
sovereigncraft.com is the website. To join the server, just plug play.sovereigncraft.com in as the server address in your game. Works on Java natively and on Bedrock with some trickery I don't understand.
Already exists. Sovereign Craft is a Bitcoin only Minecraft server with lightning address for every player as soon as they join, which can also be set up as your NIP-05.
And yes, we can zap each other in-game and we use sats to buy and sell items.
You'll get there. Just take it all one step at a time.
First day or two on Nostr probably isn't the time to tackle running your own relay, for sure.
It's also what keeps Nostr so censorship resistant. It's very easy to censor speech that is all being stored on a centralized server. If you run your own relay, though, you can back up everything you post, and then if some relays block you, you can just rebroadcast out to other relays.
Relays are the backbone of how Nostr works. It is how the notes you post get distributed around the network.
When you post a note, others will only see it if you are writing to a relay they are reading from. Likewise, you will only see what they post if you are reading from a relay they are writing to.
Looks like you are just using the default relays for Amethyst and that's probably fine to start with. Eventually you may want to add a paid relay or two. Just keep your relay list down to about 20 or less.
I am live on Sovereign Craft with a voice chat going with the owner and a couple guys that want to help improve the server. Come join us!

Join me tonight at 7:00pm on zap.stream where I will be streaming Sovereign Craft!
Plans for tonight include testing out features of the Item Exchange plugin, hunting down armor trims, and trying to find an Ancient City to get Swift Sneak.
Hope you can make it!
In the most basic sense, who you follow is how you curate your feed. Follow only those who post things you want to see and interact with. Some random follow getting to be too much for you? Stop following them.
For finding people to follow after you have a few, Primal.net is pretty awesome, since you can view a feed that includes people you follow and the people they follow. Very helpful for discovering quality follows.
The next tool I use, since I am on Amethyst, is Listr.lol because I can put follows into certain categories based on why I am interested in what they have to say. There are some useful bots on Nostr, but they are annoying to have in my main feed, so I stick them in a list that I can switch to when I want to see them.
I am sure there are more tools that I'm not aware of, as well.
Live now on #zapstream playing Sovereign Craft.

I'll be streaming Sovereign Craft tonight on zap.stream at 8pm Pacific. Come check out how this server has integrated Lightning into a player-led Minecraft economy.
We'll be checking out another player's cow farm and getting some enchanted books together to post on the Auction House, and then whatever else we feel like getting up to.

Humans OFTEN make mistakes.
The idea is not about making it harder for someone who is less creditworthy to pay back a loan, though that is the end effect.
The point is that the person with a low score is a higher risk to the lender that they may default. The higher rate is to provide:
1. A disincentive to the higher risk borrower, so that they are less likely to accept the terms of the loan, resulting in less risky loans on the books.
2. A higher compensation to the lender for taking on a higher risk, which also makes it more likely that if the borrower does default at some point in the middle of the loan term the lender has at least received payment equal to the original principal of the loan.
3. An incentive to the lender to be willing to lend to riskier borrowers at all, since most lenders still won't make loans to folks below a certain score threshold, because they simply present too much risk of default.
Assuming that credit is still going to be needed under a Bitcoin standard, I would love to hear ideas about alternative means of determining creditworthiness outside of the current scoring systems of centralized credit bureaus, because I agree that they are horrendous.
Nothing built into a full fledged client that I am aware of, but you can accomplish this using nostr:npub1l2vyh47mk2p0qlsku7hg0vn29faehy9hy34ygaclpn66ukqp3afqutajft's https://nostrit.com/ as others have mentioned.
I am sure a client will build it in at some point.
If you know their Twitter handle, you can also check for them at https://nostr.directory/
Searching can be very different from client to client, and your results may vary. Generally, though, searching for a user would be an @, if anything at all, and searching for a topic or tag would be a #.
