My friend’s latte art was on point this morning. She deserves zaps ⚡️ if she were here. Time to onboard this fren. Soon.

What constitue a safe location?

We've had a lot of talk about relays over the past day here on Nostr. This may be a bit confusing if you're new to Nostr.

What's going on with this discussion and why are many people making comments, jokes, or memes about relays?

The argument boils down to centralization and decentralization. On Nostr, we decentralize our infrastructure by using a potential wide variety of servers. Many of us are reading this note right now that's been retrieved from a variety of servers or as we call them, relays. Some relays are more popular than others. This leads to the questions surrounding decentralization. If many users are only using a top subset of relays, then we're not as decentralized as we could be or maybe even as decentralized as we should be.

I have various opinions on this subject. Even if Nostriches mostly only use ten relays, we're still magnitudes better than any existing social platform where only one entity runs the server infrastructure. We can do better though and we should do better. We have the tools to and the capabilities to make Nostr even more decentralized.

Now, this gets us into the next discussion. Which method of decentralization is best? For that, again, in my opinion, I'm a fan of the Gossip model. Simple put, Gossip makes relay selection not overly matter all that much. You can use any relay that you'd like and your follower's clients essentially fetch the notes and events from the relays that are being used without the need to be utilizing the same relay for communication to flow.

What should you do? Nothing, IMO. Relay selection and discovery aren't that great on most clients. I'd say keep using the same relays that you're using for now. Maybe, at some point, you'll update your relays to use smaller, community relays. For now, this is a developer problem to solve. You just keep creating notes and sending zaps. It will all work out in the end. Our developers LOVE to have problems to solve. Pura vida!

Nostr changed my life 💜

Humans can be programmed.

now you're trolling and it's not even funny bros

you can make it 3tbs salt + 5 cups warm water and chug

so you write but don't read? egomaniac much? lost a customer

you villified and then lied about the vid twice. I don't like liars.

my take isn't meant to be helpful, it's meant to call out your bullshit.

liars need laxatives to flush the crap out of their systems

OK, I will.

You were wrong!

Have a nice day friend.

OK, I will.

You were wrong!

Have a nice day friend.

bros just say you were wrong

also red herring…you're complaining about the length now.

"spend that time productively" LMFAO you're pounding out whiney comments on nostr just stop already

there's this thing called a "introduction" in most books u skip those too?

5AM club 💪

Good morning ☕️

GM! I’ll be manifesting a day filled with excitement and joy for you. Everyday is a blessing because tomorrow is not promised.

I agree he does explain things well and I do watch his videos, but as you explained it's only 25 minutes.

But it could be 15 minutes and I could spend that time saved more productively.

It's the same reason I stopped watching TV years ago, my time isn't for sale to watch adverts or for them to setup cliff hangers telling me what's going to happen in the next program what's about to happen in this program.

It is deliberately designed to absorb your time unproductively.

bad take bro it's a 25 minute video "half their time" my 🍑

he said there was hype, not that anything was overhyped

he said he wasn't going to comment on exchange rates, not that he wasn't going to tell you what he thinks

a laxative might help☝👆
