On one hand, good idea. On the other, absolutely a centralisation driver because it in effect stops new relays gaining users and kills the smaller ones over time.
Suggest add text warning that "this tool is useful, but also join relays in your country and language for wider reach.
Serious Question : If there are so many tens of thousands of people here on Nostr, why does my Nostrgram Global show me the same modest number of people?
I see the BTC Spring Sale has started.
Fill yer boots :-)
PROMO : Are you an English speaker? Have you got a UK Relay yet? No?

It's OK. They'll recognise the losses for tax reasons when the timing is right and all will be well.
Except, less tax to pay for defence, police, education and, in sensible countries, health care.
I have been asked about my language.
A twat, or Twazzock, is a particularly idiotic type of twit. They are toddlers in grown ass bodies. It's not their fault they are like this, but you give them wide berths at parties, and mute on Nostr.
Are you a celeb worried about being "cancelled?" Then pay attention to what you say/do because you do not the right to other people's money in the form of paychecks or platform access.
TBH most people crying "cancel them" have no impact whatsoever. If it did, no one would be reading Harry Potter any more.
I mute freely. Local Cancel is how Nostr works :-)
FYI I use a laptop on the boat. Dongle internet.
Mobiles are far talking on, and maps, obvs :-) Screens are too small for anything else. But clearly, thats just me :-(
First sign is that a note gets stuck sending, then "connecting" and we're back to logging in again.
Also, often I'll see something about not happening within 5 seconds and it's an error.
To be fair this is usually (but not always) when I'm stress testing Nostr on a sub 1MB mobile connection from my boat out in the sticks.
Nostrgram is the best client for properly sized screens
Posted from my boat, with Snort because I've just been dumped out of Nostrgram :-)
Damn. Because I mainly use Nostrgram, but sometimes it throws wobblies (like right now I'm on Snort because NG keeps dropping) and, well, Snort seems better at staying connected.
Oh well, it's still all Alpha...
Also seeing a lot of Failure to Update Contact List after 5 seconds. Related?
Odd, that shows a crash from 279 to 1 earlier this month. Restored it.
But, why would that happen?
So that's weird. Both Nostrgram and Snort have me following only 4 accounts. It should be a LOT more than that. If you have interacted and I'm NOT following you, I almost certainly should be (except that Zoltan Putin Puppet guy and the Latin crypto pusher, obvs).
Meanwhile, these are the days Snorts FOLLOW ALL button was built for I guess :-)
Book Review : Current reading, To Sleep in a Sea of Stars. 5 stars.
My view - relays in your country for speed, around the world where they speak your language for reach. Mainly, if not all, paid ones.
Mine? It's in the UK, 4000 sats
Yesterday someone said they missed long intro's. OK :-)
Post the tunes that are bonkers brilliant. Me first? Sure.
It should be tools for relay differentiation and thus allow users to find relays appropriate to their needs.
POT : Proof of Time
A variant of Proof of Work where you require the device owner to spend time doing something. Would be useful in social media. Maybe.
I just know someone will now come with a K.E.T.T.L for the process :-)
Uk Politics (there is more in the world than Nostr and BTC).
Dear Rishi, it costs £100 per person per day to keep a migrant in detention. No country is going to accept them, so you aint sending them anywhere fast. Rwanda said they'd take what, 200? We have 40000 a year in small boats.
So you clock up a Billion year one, rising to 7 BN year 5.
Me, if i wanted to stop small boats I'd invest a few tens of millions in flooding the migrant route with undercover cops pretending to be migrants.
I'd also offer all migrants who help nail the traffickers, citizenship.
This would be cheaper and more effective, as the crims would simply go back to importing drugs instead of witnesses.
But what do I know. I'm not trying to dogwhistle the dump racist fucks who will mistake your bullshit for a policy that could work.
