I always hear these things "we are early", "things are improving" and so on, but to me everything is the same buggy as it has ever been, sometimes worse because more adoption means more bugs. This is not only about Nostr. I see so many bugs everywhere.

What has actually improved in Nostr in the past 10 months?

I would LOVE to know why Primal doesn't load past the application shell in Firefox (have restarted, cleared cookies, cleared localStorage), but loads fine in private mode and in other browsers.

(FWIW: javascript bundles that are not in the `` are never fetched over the network)

Which reserve currency would that be?

The Weimar Republic in Germany in the '20s would be a good example

"Interest rates soared to astronomical levels as the government printed money recklessly to finance its debts, leading to hyperinflation. By November 1923, the interest rate reached an astonishing 900%. This extreme inflationary environment rendered traditional monetary policy ineffective, as the currency rapidly lost value, causing widespread economic chaos."

IMO It’s a perfectly normal sequence of events for healthcare workers. 🤣

I’ve quietly watched as something quite ugly has developed on #nostr.

Going back almost a year, I’ve spoken about the future of nostr, the inevitable beginnings of bots, fake accounts, trolls.

Even then, I realized nostr was resilient to these things, thanks to layer 2, and the portability of the core values of Bitcoin.

However, there is a separate issue that I did not give much thought to, and now I’ve seen it grow as a trend and I feel I should speak on it.

I’m talking about begging by proxy. I’m prepared to start using my end user power of filtration to mute these npubs.

I’m tired of seeing pity me posts, I’m a victim of circumstance posts, poor me posts. It’s pretty ugly to watch certain users climb in popularity by virtue of association, to later use their exposure to appeal to other users sense of pity or empathy.

I remember a conversation with a male role model in my life during my 20s where my response to his questioning as to my lack of employment, was to say “ I can’t get a job because I don’t have a car, I can’t get a car because I don’t have any money, I don’t have any money because I can’t get a job…”. This was when he explained to me that I was a victim of circumstance, but that the fault was my own.

No matter the cycle, you must find the most viable attack vector to break the cycle.

All the users on nostr have their own hardships too. This isnt a “rich ppl chatroom” where you can cry about your hardships hoping some wealthy person will have sympathy for you.

Proof of work.

Not, beg for bitcoin.

There are a few users who need to scroll back up and read this again.

Or, don’t. But you risk becoming the first person I mute.

Sorry, not sorry.

Love you plebs…

Is bitcoinTina still around?

This is my first post on nostr.

I cut my hair because “you don’t look like a doctor.”

It won’t happen again. I have always embraced being under estimated.

not why people are surprised by this. It’s “amazing” because of their caching relay which hides a lot of complexity of the protocol. The downside is when that relay goes down, it breaks.

Primal is amazing when it works, but more than half the times I've tried to use it in Firefox it either won't load at all (JavaScript console shows the wss connection to primal relay failing), or has lots of weird malfunctions. nostr:npub1l2vyh47mk2p0qlsku7hg0vn29faehy9hy34ygaclpn66ukqp3afqutajft nostr:note1rmnvknxqdxk9zjch2pgxgqrp0t9l30s48swp09rm5xl4hpv8c47skej456
