Meat heals

I am writing a public article that is partially about Nostr.

What are some easy-to-miss Nostr details that would be worth mentioning? Audience will be a mix of bitcoiners and general macro/investing audience. Mostly I sm writing for the latter- people who may not have heard about it yet.

I already included a Nostr section in my latest private research report, and included a slide about Nostr in a guest lecture at Princeton last week. I am spinning up my research on it over time, with public articles and broader reach being the next phase.

I think we are in the phase of running away from things like Twitter/Reddit to nostr, so the conversation is about that.

But it goes much broader than just social media. It’s a generalized protocol that enables many use cases, and I think the power of it comes in the ability to go from one use case, or client, to another, quickly and easily.

We haven’t seen much yet around this idea but we will.

I’m personally really hoping for a github replacement that Bitcoin core would feel safe using.

Instagram seems to be able to prevent sound from being captured when I screen record... Anyone know of a way around this?

Literally didn’t open twitter for a few days, Nostr is simply so much faster, cooler and full with likeminded people!

I’m hooked 🔥

Twitter is dead. Long live nostr. 🤙

I'm not paying a relay operator to fight spam. Spam wasn't an issue for me. It'd just an added bonus. I'm paying relay operators because server infrastructure isn't free. But I do agree that we'll always need free relays.

I am? I don't know think I am? I want everyone to use paid relays! I also think it's good to run a private one to backup your own data. I do both and think everyone should do both.

If you want to help the broader network, you would open up your relay to the public or at least to your friends and family to use.

The State is the systematization of the predatory process over a given territory. For crime, at best, is sporadic and uncertain; the parasitism is ephemeral, and the coercive, parasitic lifeline may be cut off at any time by the resistance of the victims. The State provides a legal, orderly, systematic channel for the predation of private property; it renders certain, secure, and relatively "peaceful" the lifeline of the parasitic caste in society.

That’s possible for sure. But I remember seeing some smart, well-intentioned folks working on ways to create an opt-in blocking mechanism so users and/or clients can block what they decide is spam.

But there is definitely a long way to go!

True enough! Can’t wait for relay selection on the global feed

Someone tipped this client-side javascript lib that could be useful to web clients.

The classifications are hilarious. It could display a warning if your profile pic is too hot.

I would guess.

I can only identify some so far. I wasn’t diagnosed with this for a long time because no one thought that was the problem. When I finally did get a diagnosis I started to pay more attention. I can say that im ok with led lights which is good because I love bright lighting in my house. But things like tanning bed lights - grow lights - and the therapy lights that they use in spiritual healing centers all feel like flaming acid.

This is kinda funny. I have a sunlight allergy. I know you didn’t know but it still made me smile

with all due respect, that doesn't really answer my question.
