What’s with the Nostr/Bitcoin overlap? I’m not a big fan of cryptocurrency or blockchain-all-the-things. And Nostr itself (thankfully) isn’t implemented atop a blockchain.
Am I reading the documentation for the socket protocol for relays correctly? Does it always fall back to streaming mode after you run a search? So the way to just do a search without streaming is to cancel the subscription after you’ve received the notice that you’re entering streaming mode? 
Hello everyone! Despite being a distributed social network enthusiast, I somehow only learned of Nostr this week.
I actually wrote (and still use) an experimental distributed social network called FeoBlog. I’ve been happy to see that many of the features I’d implemented there are also present in Nostr. But there’s actually a large community here. 😅
I’ve already started writing some tools for working with Nostr, partly as a way to learn more about the protocol. See my replies here for some of my initial questions. Looking forward to making some connections here!
