not sure what domain to live on for NIP-05. i have a handful of domain names that i could set up NIP-05 on using Nginx. i found a guide for it:

(you have to scroll down for the Nginx part)

using crypto is quite inconvenient if you don't have any and need to get some, even if you've got accounts on exchanges.

with the low bank account balance i have right now, i think i'm gonna give up on filling up my Lightning wallet for the time being.

i'm testing it out. one thing i'm noticing with iris.to is that i often have to refresh the browser to get the timeline to update. not sure why.

would it be right to say that introverts are simply people who are selective about who they spend time with?

didn't know Iris even had a mobile app, they don't advertise that very heavily on their site, do they

ugh, i bought less LTC on Coinbase than the minimum order size on Kraken, so now i can't buy the BTC i planned to buy 🤦‍♂️

yeah, i know iris.to does it, but Damus has nothing for spam filtering, so it has a far dirtier global feed unless i disable most of the free relays, which is inconvenient. so i was thinking to use this relay proxy i found on GitHub, which talks to multiple relays for you, and stick a spam filter in that.

(you can train bogofilter on anything, not just emails, if you do it right)

i've been thinking about two things when it comes to relays and spam filters.

1. configure a relay proxy so my clients only have to talk to a single relay.

2. maybe patch that proxy so it runs posts through a machine learning email spam filter such as bogofilter

i haven't configured NIP-05 yet. i should probably get that sorted out.

they're largely free of spam bots, but since not every non-spammer is using them...

bought a little bit of Litecoin on Coinbase (don't know of anywhere else that accepts a debit card and allows customers from Norway) that i'm transferring to Kraken just to fill up my Lightning wallet with some satoshis for paying relays and a little zapping.

far from all non-spam posts come from paid relays. you're blocking quite a lot if you're only using paid relays, including all posts from new users. paying for a relay is more of a nice-to-have than a necessity.

took a look at the "all known paid relays" timeline on nostrgram.co and counted which paid relays were used for a few dozen posts, and...

the Dame in Notre Dame would be Virgin Mary - in Norwegian, Catholic churches are often named Vår Frue Kirke

it's probably from Latin "nostrum" as in French "notre" (think "Notre Dame") meaning "our"

before i knew what "nostr" meant, i thought it meant "no string"
