I love those like seven minute Metallica songs where there are structural changes that happen in the song, almost like different acts of the song rather than being one act.

I try not to judge Nostr clients too hard in any given month on this early basis. They're all working on novel tech to increase speed and usability. They generally raised little capital or in some cases no capital, compared to what so-called Nostr competitors raised in the crypto space. How many bitcoin companies are around from a decade ago?

I use a given app, and rotate to what is gathering momentum to see if it works better, while still using what I used before, to test things as they come and go, because rarely does one client just go away. Multiple clients develop out of that trough and keep competing. But as one app goes through a period of weakness, I don't write it off. I ask what's happening and how it could be better, or what apps should look like.

I'm happy to see so many clients pushing hard and competing. That competition is what makes Nostr more interesting than Twitter/X over time. And indeed if none of the current clients provide what you want, you can enter with your own code and/or capital.

It's open. That's what makes it beautiful. That's why we're here.

When I don't have control over the private keys and only some kind of partial control, sending coins to an exchange or other custodial service makes me nervous. Does anyone else have the same issue?
