I consider myself a looser

Secure DMs and groups might be how Nostr wins. Like Signal, but better: no phone number or centralized service provider needed. Actually there are no publicly visible user IDs involved, so in that regard it's similar to simplex.chat.

Unlike public messaging, DMs do not depend on the network effect. Great for onboarding people and keeping them returning with push notifications. They get a bitcoin wallet, zaps and all the other Nostr greatness on the side.

Many people don't want to let go of their existing follower base on X, but "Nostr DMs only" is easier to do. I could imagine that becoming a thing in the Bitcoin scene at first.

What iconic movies should I add to my list for watching with my 8 year old? ET was a hit last night. He’s quite mature for his age if that helps. #asknostr

The cool thing about the $58k gang is that we easily transform into the $69k gang.

It continues to be beautiful. nostr:note10m67gpyc9fu50836pszeqmwgfe6clm0k9dgwej4zfmz8ya7w6u9qxe0qm9

Good evening.

In the first year after my husband and I bought our house, we kept having the security system’s smoke alarm go off, and it would auto-alert the fire department. A mess, repeatedly.

Literally the same dude would show up, sigh, and be like “you cool?” And I’d be like, “yeah, sorry.”

Eventually I was like… let’s just remove that one. It’s always the problem, it’s too close to the stove. The so-called experts installed it, but from experience it was wrong. So we outed it. Just that one.

And we did, and the problem went away forever. For us and for the firemen.

Sometimes it’s the rules that are the problem. Not the rules’ breaker. Test everything.
