Ah ok. I thought you were using Elon Musks satellite network :-)
This remark applies to all #nostrclients I think.
Please add some language filtering on the full firehose of Tweets (we can call those that now? Right?) eg. #nostur #damus

I think it's what you make of it really, since it is an open protocol. I think it is still a little difficult to work out how things work at present. Try to follow people who post interesting stuff.
It has been known for a long time that the most central problem on the #web was the lack of a micropayment system other than advertising, leading to the enormous investment into companies that could garner more and more data about individuals, as more data meant better-targeted ads, which returned 10-1000x more than plain ads.
#nostr's integration of #lightning [1] micropayment as an extra "like" feature into the #twitter-like user experience is a great live example of how new micropayment systems can change the game. It is live, and you can try it out [2] and send people micropayments for as It Is also valuable for helping people pay devs for the user interfaces, #relays that reduce spam, reward artists, etc.… Most importantly, it will allow journalists to be rewarded without us needing to take a yearly subscription to a magazine. There is too much content on the World Wide Web for me to want to subscribe to each major paper just because it has one great article I’d be happy to pay for. With governments no longer subsidizing journalism, they may again dare to take on their essential role of questioning it intelligently.
The Lightning network is open and could be used by any other protocol, such as #Mastodon or Tim Berners-Lee’s #Solid project, or much more.

PS. Attached is a picture of my transactions, showing how little money can exchange hands… from 1 sat to 500 sats thanks to #yakihonne (a company producing a client for markdown enabled #nostr), worth $0.13
PPS. #Apple asked App devs to remove the micropayment system if they don’t give them 30% of the proceeds! Luckily, these limitations cannot be placed on Web Browsers such as #Firefox or #Chrome, and other options are available to get around this.

Note: I have not analyzed the technology in detail.
The integration of lightning payment was not built into the system from the start but was added by #Damus developer Will https://snort.social/p/npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s .
the various filter options on #snort are very nice. #Global helps get an idea of what is going on worldwide, though it would help if one could filter it by language. I speak English, French and German for example. One could then add optional translation service. Indeed I could imagine a translation service relay could save by translating Notes once and then serving them later.
Is #Damus a word play on #nostr #damus i.e. Nostradamus, the famous French Astrologer and seer?

Hi #[1] here's an interesting case for your #mostr.pub.
Martin Escardo wrote a 20 post thread on Mastodon which started here:
https://mathstodon.xyz/@MartinEscardo/110912588238494225
It looks like I need to reToot each post in the thread on w3c.social for the other Toots to appear on #nostr.
So you’ll see I rebooted half of them on https://w3c.social/@bblfish
But I think that may bother folks at W3C if I do that too often. It would help if when I reboot one, the whole thread then becomes visible on nostr.

Sorry that was my fault, I used the hash B… magical incantation too lightly.
I should have used #math #science #ecology #categoryTheory #astronomy #music and others to describe nostr:npub17u6xav5rjq4d48fpcyy6j05rz2xelp7clnl8ptvpnval9tvmectqp8pd6m's work. For example:

Ok, so me:
Nostr is a decentralized platform: like Mastodon, but different.
* Mastodon works as a mini centralized social network that can federate posts (toots), and your identity is tied to one instance (e.g. mathstodon.xzy),
* #Nostr’s is a protocol (https://nostr.com) on which identity is via a public/private key which you enter into an App, like Damus, or many others you can find. (There is a list here: https://nostrclients.webflow.io/ ). There are also web apps and plugins for browsers to safely enter your private key to your browser and reduce the risk of key leakage.
The technical idea is simple: your app signs your posts, which are distributed to relays that can distribute them. You can save them to your own server if you wish too. People can comment on Notes with notes as I am doing now. But essentially, you can’t unsign your apps, and because they can spread it would be very difficult to shut down a conversation. But it is not synchronized like the blockchain: there is not one global pool of Notes.
Most interestingly, they integrated a micropayment system.
The problem with Mastodon is that admins are not full-time and can easily be pressured by political activists: calling someone a fascist is a simple way to do that. Most admins are not political scientists, so don’t know how to evaluate such a claim. On Nostr you can’t censor Notes, so one has to filter what you like yourself, and clients provide options for that. There is of course, a lot of nonsense to filter out. Social network filter is one way to get quality.
For the moment, there are too many bitcoins folks there. If you have bitcoin-related math, your Toots could be turned into Notes via the proxy we are using and garner a lot of following on #Nostr. :-)
It am looking at how much this integrates with the decentralized linked-data-based networks I am working on…
Strictly speaking I should not say “there are too many #bitcoin folks on #nostr” but rather that the proportion is a bit too high. But that will change over time.
#Nostr notes can’t be edited though, so I have to add that as an a comment to the original post above.
I guess that #mostr the Mastodon ⇆ Nostr proxy would find the wider use of a versioning of notes to be useful to better integrate with #Mastodon whose Toots can be edited.

Sometimes the integration between #Mastodon and #Nostr is strange.
I can't find the above interaction on Mastodon but I do find it on a #nostr view here for example:

If you want to increase the quality of your #nostr experience a million fold, just follow #[1], mathematician, category theoretician and scientist.
Also repost this (whatever the best way to get attention on this platform), and repost the Messages by him you like the most.
He’ll come over to #Nostr I am sure when Mathjax mode is the default - it is available currently on mathstodon.xyz . At leat if mathjax is available, his more math oriented posts will be easier to read.
