Today It was a beautyful day.

GN my friends 🌜💜🧡🫂 It's bed time...

Hello

I'm currently testing different Nostr interfaces & tools to see how I can use this protocol more.

Some of these tools & APIs are still too slow or lack of a friendly user experience.

But the future is built by innovators, those who take the time to learn and experiment enough to improve things by try and failure.

When I first heard about Nostr I knew it was a simple technology with a huge potential. I still believe it and I know there are many different utilities and improvements being developed all around the world to make it better.

Even though there's still so much more to achieve, I can see this is going fast and it puts Nostr closer to achieve mainstream adoption.

If not, we will have a very resilient and strong tool to communicate & share information still, and that's ok.

I'm not a developer nor programmer. I'm a journalist focused in Bitcoin, specially in it's techonology rather than economics or cultural issues. It's been almost 7 years working in the space & came to learn A LOT about what is Bitcoin and how it works. There's still so much to learn about it & Nostr is definitely another rabbit hole, another universe (thus connected to Bitcoin), which requires a sustancial amount of time to understand.

I'm currently doing photography, social media & marketing stuff for other clients also, so you'll understand that I don't have too much free time, specially for social media, which fortunately I'm rejecting more and more everyday in its current form.

Ideally, social media is made intended to put something out to the world, not to scroll eternally and dirty your mind with nonsensical opinions or biased news.

But sooner or later I know I will find myself doing news coverage of Nostr stuff, or looking to make a more healthy use of social media through this protocol.

Currently, traditional social media it's not a safe space for mental health, so I'm looking to run away from the algorithm and built a feed that gives me what I need. And I want to give the Nostr community what it needs also.

So, to end up this Saturday morning rant, I'd like you to share with me your insights about Nostr, what are the best tools & sources to learn about its technology. What do you think is needed right now in the space? How can I help? How Nostr can help me improve my journalistic work?

I hope your relay shows you this message. Can't wait to read your responses.

Love,

Luis

PD: Tried to send this message with Primal.net unsuccessfully, after Snort.Social gave me some issues too, but I couldn't. Lastly, I tried Iris and it seems to work. Let me know if you can read this!

Zaps are welcome too, so I can keep investing time in this.

Can someone explain these #image options on #amethyst 🤔

I couldn't find a good explanation online so far. Thanks!

nostr.build links not loading at all on #amethyst

anyone else with the same problem?

Is it just me seeing this kind of stuff all the time?

First impressions:

My profile looks different. "Following" count is exactly the same; there's a discrepancy in my "Followers" count.

There seems to be more menu items on Amethyst... I've received 65k in zaps. Who knew?!😆

My nostrplebs(.)com verification isn't yet visible in this client.

It'll be fun playing around with Amethyst over the next few days.

Apple forced my hand. I've been an iPhone user forever. The upcoming change to Damus pushed me to get an Android. Amethyst is my first download from the Play store.

🤗🚀

Let me delete all my zaps so we can live this moment again.

The economy is so fucked.

Any Apple employees on nostr ?

Although the Carnac Stones date from 4500–3300 BC, modern myths associated them with 1st century AD Roman and later Christian occupations. A Christian myth associated with the stones held that they were pagan soldiers in pursuit of Pope Cornelius when he turned them to stone. Local tradition similarly claims that the reason they stand in such perfectly straight lines is that they are a Roman legion turned to stone by Merlin.

Remember when every self-respected AI researcher refused the term "AI" as a purely marketing term, very unserious, and preferred "machine learning" etc?

Is there an app that notifies you when the Mempool clears?
