Y’all may remember my bike crashed into the concrete picnic table and the wheel rolled untrue as a result. So, the love of my life takes his handy spoke tool (he has all the tools) and uses his knowledge of the G T Method to straighten up the wheel back to true. It was rubbing on the brakes in about 3 places. I can’t believe I rode that effer 4 miles in gale force winds like that. Ima retard, and he’s my hero! Now, I know how to use the spoke tool if it ever gets out of round again.

Sat 丰 isfying!

Ok. It’s not 17k, but it’s a buy.

The key (minus a check) to verifying that the npub isn’t a spammer/scammer? nostr:note15sw24szsyxxzc4g4x6jkc7su3k4cdrlke6ujs8dtgr4gmldfjxhsemw4vc

You are entitled to that. Also, you are followed by those I trust, so I will interact with you. I am on a fact-finding mission as to whic npubs are scammers and which are legit. nostr:note1l8qf6jec2z2edh5e2x3lt4ewsh0hmp2pkgxhqs9pvmqten06mg3scex4pm

See the magenta, purple check? The process for achieving it? I am also unsure of that.

How we know they lie? Their lips are moving!

Maya seems to be a verified npub, referring to the magenta check.

My understanding is that the npub is verified by the client (i.e. nostr:npub18m76awca3y37hkvuneavuw6pjj4525fw90necxmadrvjg0sdy6qsngq955 or nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg). I am weary of being informed that I am boosting the signal of scammers. This is my journey of education into an npub verification. Join me!

On the one hand, I plan to welcome/follow all new #nostriches, in order to #grownostr. On the other hand all y’all veteran #nostriches are teaching me who is, and is not a scammer (links containing tracking tokens, not verified, purple-checked npubs). I love to learn, and be a better #nostrich for the good of the community, and I welcome correction. In this spirit, I will NOT welcome/follow the new npubs without verified purple checks. If any #nostr user can counter with why I should continue to welcome (and I always followed these randos, too…), please give me your best argument.

Uh, FM y’all🙈🥺🤪

GM too ❤︎
