Nostr pro tip: Search for #hashtags to find new people to follow. It works really well.

Would you welcome shircoiners on nostr? Imagine they'd do Solana zaps here. Serious q.

Doesn't seem to work for me. I have tried it on multiple occasions, it either throws an error saying no available number or it shows me a number but I never get the sms back.

Today was no different. 🤷

But thanks anyway. 🫂

I looked at my muted by list on noStrudel for the first time today 🤯

Lol 💀

I don't see any crack here tho

So we need to recruit drug dealers

Trying to solve an issue with npub1sqzr42dj8vx32yd5jcvvl3ytux45kl0etgf6y2ymjvmd7lqmuwmqk9vk7v They want me to use Telegram for tech support. 👎👎

Having to install yet another app is bad enough, but forcing customers into one that requires a phone number is adding insult to injury.

Thank you Relai.

you wouldn’t rebroadcast a note

These days, an app that was made 6 months ago is already outdated. Your team has to move very fast otherwise the code just slowly depreciates and newer apps take your market share with faster/simpler/better features for a fraction of the effort. It's move fast or die.

What I learned most, from decades of refining my debugging skills, is that I don't ever want to put myself into the position where debugging is necessary. I consider every debugging session to be a failure and every hour spent debugging a waste that I should have avoided.

The cult of obeying the "authority", in schools...

Agreed that “zaps” tie Nostr and bitcoin at the hip. But, in order to bootstrap a decentralized, V4V protocol it seems obvious that bitcoin would play a primary role. Or is the ability to receive money for content creation not necessary for the protocols success? I would say it is, but certainly am open to counterpoints.

I'm not sure I should write down these thoughts right now while I'm not sure about them, but if you are reading this apparently I did.

I think nostr may already be doomed for two reasons. And as a result of that, if I conclude as such, it would make sense to start working on a successor protocol. I've been taking some notes about what we should change if we started over, but that's the extent of it, I'm not working on a successor protocol. I'm only working on nostr. So don't misinterpret this note, which just represents some thoughts I've been having.

Reason one is the misaligned incentives of note copying. The incentives are to copy your notes to every relay you can, blast them out everywhere, to get more reach. That incentive doesn't go away until and unless all the clients do the outbox model. But they don't have an incentive to change, and there are people who don't give a fuck about fixing this and argue against fixing it and argue for note copying, and there is no way in a free society to make them care. So we can never fix this, and nostr will always be centralized in practice and never what it could have been. That means nostr is doomed and unfixable and we should make sure to start differently next time so this doesn't happen again.

Reason two is that the seed culture of nostr was far too monolithic: bitcoiners. What a culture develops into probably depends on how diverse its seed was. It's quite hard to get people onto nostr unless they are at least very bitcoin tolerant. Most people (yes, I think most) are put off by so much bitcoin promotion and related posts. Certainly people can follow anybody they want, and make their own independent cultures, perhaps even on a disjoint set of relays. But this isn't likely to happen due to the law of large numbers - there are far more ways for them to encounter and interact with the nest of bitcoiners then to not encounter and interact with them.

These are thoughts I'm entirely unsure about. Maybe I'm wrong in both cases. These are my worries.

With tor or loading the notes?

Assuming you are not using tor

I WAS WRONG. WE DONT NEED MORE ASSHOLES ON NOSTR.

GOOD MORNING.
