Finding purpose is more important, Bitcoin has given me that for the last few years.

Look forward, not back.

I am talking a lot about wss://relays.land/spatianostra recently, not just for the feed itself but for the idea. The dynamic voting concept has serious potential to diversify feeds by the general ethos/politics/interests of any set of users. That becomes really powerful as Nostr relay browsing gains client-side momentum. Communitoloes can form more organically.

The spatianostra feed itself is simply an example of an easily accessible, non-capturing, curated feed. It is not controlled by anyone, just guided. We've tailored towards giving those new to Nostr a welcoming place to browse & discover nice content & people, because there has been a need for that. Try to imagine other feeds composed of high-signal information or mostly [insert any political slogan here] or a completely different feel, like the #⭕️ , all available in a click or two, with curation being a low-barrier action for participating voters.

There is lots of room for competition in creating unique feeds that users enjoy browsing. Eventually, there will be more incentive to earn placement in various feeds as well. There needs to be more stuff like this to showcase some of what makes Nostr unique and to provide people with options. The wide-open part has proven to work pretty well. And spatianostra is helping to prove that you can take chunks out & not effect that openness at all. It's not a walled garden, it's a nice little picnic spot on this vast & beautiful planet. That might be a cheesy analogy, but I bet you can't scroll that feed and honestly tell me that I'm wrong. 😅

Hey Dawn, explain this like I'm 6 years old!

OK, I'm a bit older, but maybe start at 6 and let me catch up 😂

If you'd like some help about this weird protocol we call NOSTR I wrote some guides here:

https://habla.news/u/mhardcastle@nostrplebs.com

I would start with this one here for some basic concepts:

https://habla.news/u/mhardcastle@nostrplebs.com/1724842277970

If you have questions, the tag #asknostr is a good place to start.

Enjoy freedom speech and money.

Meanwhile, here's a random selection of some animals we have encountered

Thanks, there was a competition. There was a winner 😂

Things have changed since I setup my nodes.

I set mine up on Raspberry Pi's, there's still a guide here:

https://help.mystnodes.com/en/articles/8006202-raspberry-pi-guide

However, looks like you can now run a node from your phone or PC or even via a browser extension here:

Does Weeki Wachee still have the mermaids hanging around?

I went to the first cheat code . What I don’t like about conferences is being preached at from the stage by influencers that know less than I do.

I prefer local meet ups, I go to a couple around Oxford, there’s normally 5 - 20 like minded others you can chat to one on one.

You can buy MYST with Bitcoin on the app, or you can swap stable coins on something like uniswap

Were the only empire since the romans that conquered the world by force.

Don’t make me angry, you wouldn’t like me when I’m angry

Now you're talking 📢📣📢📣 😂

You and I could end up falling out 😡

I stray onto X sometimes, it's my guilty little secret 😂

When you understand "enshittification", you realise it applies to everything 😂

That looks an interesting chart, but it's too blurry when I zoom in. Is it possible to post a higher quality image 🙏

We're in Finland today, come say Hyvää huomenta

I dunno about you, but I always invite the police round to inspect my house once I’ve cleaned it 😂

I think of NOSTR as the new abnormal 😂

A bit reckless as we're not at the peak of the bullrun yet 😂

They're so last millennium.

I'm thinking Dyson sphere round the sun to power the media system I'll have commissioned to stream my funeral live around the milky way 😂
