Sucks when your technology fails but zaps make it all better!

Someone else could probably shed more light on this, but it could impact data usage which is probably more of an issue on mobile plans.

The other issue that could arise depends on the client. To load a profile for instance, is the client just waiting for the first relay to respond? Is it waiting around to see if 5 other relays respond to make sure the profile metadata is all matching? Is it waiting for every single relay to respond?, etc.

I was on the edge of my seat the whole time.

Nostr has the best spam.

It's a lightning button on every post in some nostr clients that let's you send bitcoin instantly over the lightning network. Easiest way to get started is downloading Wallet of Satoshi from your app store, click Recieive and find your unique lightning address (it looks like an email address) and put it into your nostr profile. Boom, now people can zap you.

It's worth it for anyone interested in really learning how it all works, and there are some tools to help automate some of it, but yeah- it's a lot of work.

That depends on who the information is going to. It's probably happening on Twitter and Facebook. Somebody could do the same for a nostr client, but you can always use a different one if you don't like that.

No surprise coming from Vox.

It's a good read ๐Ÿ‘

Any client or relay could censor you, but it's unlikely every single one of them would. Even if that did happen, relays and most apps are open-source so you can run your own relay that keeps your notes, and others can connect to your relay to read them. Likewise you can run the clients on your own computer and make edits to the code if needed.

I don't think there is a limit hard-coded anywhere, but most relays will impose a maximum note size (i.e. 1MB of text) and/or ban someone who is posting a new note every second (thinking that it might be spam).

Sure ask away!

I don't think they can directly store videos or images, but you can paste a link to one in your note and some clients will display them directly in the app.

Well, all of this is nostr-only. Nothing gets communicated to Twitter or Facebook. I couldn't really tell you how things look on Twitter or Facebook, but the idea is probably the same in that you're sending similar info (and probably a lot more).

This is just the raw data. Everything you do on internet will be transmitting some sort of data like this. The good thing about nostr is that it's transparent and you can see what info is being passed around ๐Ÿ™‚

Yup, kind 1.

Along with the content of the reply, the event includes your pubkey and a few other pieces of info (what note ID you're replying to, which relays to send to, proof you signed the note with your private key, etc).

This is what your note looks like. It's a little busy, but "p" means pubkey, and "e" means event ID:

Exactly. The relays store the data and clients fetch it from them and figure out how to display it.

Some clients will show you the full event info.
