yep. it's working. i can see my own posts on the nostrgram.co global timeline now, which filters out free relays by default.
all right, are my posts relaying via nostr.wine now? let's find out...
will be buying access to nostr.wine soon, just because it *does* increase the reach of posts a little bit.
decided to transfer more LTC to Kraken to try to buy some BTC for a transfer to my Lightning wallet. i transferred less than 0.04 LTC so i wasn't able to execute a trade.
browsing https://nostrgram.co/#global:allEvents really hammers in that Nostr just isn't a very big network yet. and i'm comparing to Mastodon here, not Twitter.
imagine if they added caffeine to beer
i didn't pay anything into this Lightning wallet, so it's all just zaps

#[0] have you considered making mostr.pub publish to other relays than just itself? it's challenging to share fedi posts when it's just on one relay that everyone needs to add.
thank you. that's more extensive than i just did, i.e. remove just the caches. did as instructed now though.
so why is it that #[0] will display what i just posted on the Global timeline but not always on the Following timeline? it seems to take longer for it to appear there.
wiped the iris.to cache storage
specific instructions on how to do that in Chrome Inspector without wiping things out would be appreciated.
*posts on Nostr*
*gets a like*
someone loves me 💞
*checks who it is*
bot: hello, human!
i don't know why, but #[0] does this weird thing where it'll tell you there are X new messages in your feed but when you click it, no new messages appear. is it notifying me of bot spam that i blocked or...?
what is the correct Nostr terminology for a share/reblog/boost?
maybe nostr-proxy was working properly after all, and the network went almost completely silent JUST as i was testing it? it's very late in America right now, and Nostr doesn't appear to be super popular in Europe. same with Mastodon, really. they're both fairly slow to catch on here.
if you keep seeing me boost this anonymous user with no profile, you need to add wss://relay.mostr.pub because those are my Mastodon posts and you don't get any info on Mastodon users unless you add that.
i'm now thinking about how most BitTorrent clients come with a built-in list of seed nodes for DHT.
technically speaking, we could all just agree to use one huge relay. i realise this would ruin the entire idea of Nostr, but we're not *far* from just using one huge relay already. there's about a dozen relays that every client talks to by default, so it's fairly centralised. and seeing as relays don't talk to each other, you pretty much *have* to add those relays to get some reach.
