The easiest way is to probably use your Umbrel node. It's one button click install. Though not everyone has an Umbrel node. I use https://github.com/cameri/nostream
Hope you're all patched up
Never expected the point to be addressed by a maxipad. They respond like someone using one.
Dude. This is the leakiest possible protocol. By design. Even fiatjaf advises strongly against using it for DMs you don't want exposed, because only one person needs to leak their private key. You can't even delete. You have no control over which server your signed JSON blobs *end up* on. There is no panic button privacy / stalker avoidance mode. No. Nostr is for being heard.
Unless you're hosting a private relay, then your data is only as private as the non-Nostr protections and authentications. Nostr itself does less than nothing for privacy.
Lmfao I'm sitting here in a 12 hour blackout reading on my last battery about how we need a currency that can't be exchanged for a bag of meal or a bottle of water without electricity and internet. That transition would kill more of us than a nuclear war.
Here's the offending pubkey, I had to block to make Global useful again: #[5]
A pubkey promoting Amethyst is absolutely spamming the Global feed right now, about a post every second which includes a huge QR code and Chinese.
Nostr will forever be as centralized as the Global feed is global.
They all went to Nostr.

Wowee, you hit one if the mantras in every responsewithout addressing a single point.
Bitcoiners treat Nostr as just another audience for their spam, more recruits for their prosperity cult with smears like "HFSP" for Others.
Never engaging any intellectual debate. Just casting shade on any critics or skeptics. Disgusting.
Tell me you're a Bitcoin fan by repeating the cult fav non-answer of "you don't understand the technology" to well articulated opposition. I saw one of you say that to the guy who invented Python.
Decentralized money we actually used day to day before centrally issued currencies is none of the above. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQtgQ-IciN4
Better money wont have a centrally planned and artificially fixed rate of supply, not open to market forces to counterbalance price swings due to changes in demand. This makes it volatile enough to be useless forever in accounting against any other good. Unworkable for economic calculation.
Better money won't be a public grand unified centralized ledger, distributed like Facebook over a CDN, only an ad-hoc rather than a commercial one.
Not at all, the fediverse is where a server admin can dissolve your identity.
Blockchain is where the data store is as centralized as Facebook, just with a community-driven CDN instead of a commercial CDN (content distribution, not decentralization, network).
Nostr is where data can be truly decentralized. But the more you talk to Bitcoin enthusiasts, the more you realize they hate privacy and hate truly decentralized ledgers and networks.
They want everything massively, even globally centralized at the data and network layer. Then they want the central data store to be eternal and immutable and public. They hate privacy and decentralization at every level, and fight you on it when you suggest it.
The fundamental issue is that Clients recreated Web 2.0 with a user-defined CDN by making Relays a Profile-level, rather than a Post-level setting.
Relay Groups selectable at the Post level in all Clients is required for this use case to ever work.
Otherwise, Clients literally break the attempt to have a topical or anti-topical Relay. Because everyone using a Twitteresque Client with your Relay in their Profile settings will blast all their off-topic thoughts to your Relay, too.
Avatars without proxies leak our IP addresses to the image hosts. None please.
There should really be an option to browse clients without connecting to rando 3rd party servers. If proxy scripts are too much, I'd rather turn off images (or click to reveal). An image from another host is as bad as a javascript tag from another host.
I can post an image or avatar right now from my own server (like BTCapsule did here) and watch my `access_log` for all of your IP addresses, as you read this post.
Antivirus also goes nuts on Iris and Hamstr whenever I get a compromised website behind embedded images, esp. from void(dot)cat.
Images are more important, but one notification displayed per event that repeats would stop people or bots making our notification feeds look like:
You bet they did.
"To anyone except a Bitcoin Maxi" = you can't see this from where you're sitting.
"opening Nostr is like crawling into a hostel bed" = somewhere new and exciting, but a little rough and not very polished.
"that gives you hives." = nobody but a Bitcoin Maxi loves to read mad hopium and delusional prophecies about a fantastic investment opportunity.
"With a pair of Jehovah's Witnesses tapping on the window all night." = A fantastic investment opportunity with an army of self-proclaimed evangelists constantly trying to 'orange pill' you.
tl;dr: Bitcoin Maxi culture is incredibly off-putting to the general population. A maxi can't see that, so you'll start blaming nebulous non-reasons like 'natural ebb and flow' ...
Did we see less people trying to log in to Facebook within their first decade, or into TikTok at any point in their growth spurt, or Twitter in their first years? That's why I called `horseshit` on #[2] reasoning. We'd do better to ask questions and discover open-mindedly what's putting individuals off than blame nebulous inevitability of cycles that don't hold up beyond the first comparison.
Bleep bleep bloop. I am a finance bot.
JAN 23, 2023 BOT HOT TAKES
------------------------------------
- Saylor down by 43,849 BTC / 1BN USD / 25% all-time on account of buying Bitcoin early at $30k avg DCA instead of waiting for today to buy his first Bitcoin.
- Bukele down an incredible 47.56% all-time on account of investing money seized from poor people in BTC instead of HODLing in USD until today.
What's Keynesian is a centrally planned, artificially fixed rate of supply.
You know, which Bitcoin has. They just hid your central planner from you. Now you worship your central planner.
Hayek and Mises would be disgusted that Bitcoin rejected a market determined rate of supply, which can ebb and flow to counterbalance price swings due to changes in demand.
