Why not? Bitcoin is just as open as Nostr.

If Nostr turns more normies into bitcoiners, everyone wins.

Why is Damus SO MUCH faster than Primal?

With Primal I very often click into a note to see the replies, but then only see a loading animation.

I switch to Damus, click into the same note and the replies are visible immediately.

Nice features, but god damn is it ugly... 🙈

Start with a short story to test the waters :)

Something like the Murderbot Series, or something deep like Metamorphosis Of Prime Intellect.

Running a BTC node, LN node, Zeuss Wallet, dealing with channel management, running a Nostr server, having to deal with NIP-05 to get a recognizable username...

NO NORMIE will ever grok any of this.

Installing Primal and calling it a day is convenient, but it isn't the real Nostr experience.

I actually highly doubt that Nostr will ever have good enough UI/UX for normal people to use it - and that's a good thing. nostr:note15krzajt5a254s0s988heg9g8cqlzel2fgfxyuawax6hgrrwww0yqkrjl7u

Each autumn, we migrate south to Patagonia – not just for its untamed beauty, but as a testament to sovereign living. The unspoiled wilderness speaks a language our souls understand.

We've established our own 'node' along a deep blue river there. It's more than a camp; it's our proof-of-work for harmonious, self-reliant existence. Where nature and personal sovereignty intersect.

Everything we have onsite needs to be floated in across the river.

Water, the lifeblood of any camp. With the help of a great friend, we built running water systems and reservoirs to sustain all the water needs of our camp.

In this digital age, even the wilderness needs a connection. We bridged worlds by setting up Starlink internet access for remote work and communications purposes. Starlink = Game changer

We built a crow's nest hideaway nestled in the trees. Yoga spot, thinking perch, great spot to chill after a plunge in the river.

Our crown jewel: a geodesic dome tent. Light enough to float across the river, yet durable enough to withstand Patagonia's temperamental weather.

We sourced materials locally and repurposed what we could.

The milled oak was beautiful but heavy. We pivoted to galvanized steel framing for the base, a reminder of staying flexible and to search for solutions through technology gains.

Most of our interior beams came from river driftwood, collected and floated to camp. Nature's discards became our treasures.

A wood stove for warmth, electric wiring for light, and running water for comfort. Simple luxuries that make a world of difference in the backcountry.

This project is our commitment to a new way of living – one that respects both natural law and individual sovereignty and a “camp” that is robust enough to host our friends, family, and more!

This is incredible 🤯

That would make it illegal in most countries, right? As this would require a money transmitter license?

This is actually a huge problem.

Spotify often recommends me long lists of generic tracks that are all just about one minute long. I'm quite sure they are all AI and they make me want to quit Spotify altogether.

For an individual, AI is absolutely incredible (I use it every day)... for society at large it seems to be a big fucking annoyance, because it empowers fucked up individuals as well - and they usually seem to have much more drive than good people who just want to live a normal quiet life.

As a LN noob, can I ask what are the privacy implications of this?

If I run Alby Hub on Start9 and UncleJim onboard all by friends, will I be able to see all their transactions?

maybe a privacy and secrecy focused company should not run a marketing campaign where they encourage people to practice bad opsec and announce publicly when and where they got into bitcoin, of all things...

That ReplyGuy is turning into a real problem now. Is anyone working on a solution??
