In it for the freedom.

Women having less sex than men. Interesting. Not what 4chan would have you believe.

I have badges, I just thought I got one from Amethyst when I updated.

Alot of it is actually in the outgoing, not just downloading data. Up in a corner, depending on what client you use, it might say how many relays you are connected to. Each message you send, instead of just sending your data once (to Twitter's servers, for example), you are multiplying it by that number and sending it to each relay you connect to. Good for censorship resistance. Bad for ANYTHING BUT unlimited data plans.

Yeah, I love the decentralization for development of clients and microapps. It worries me as far as development on the protocol goes. I feel like more time could have gotten spent on the protocol. But maybe it just would have made for a less simple protocol.

But I guess with Bitcoin, we started just doing stuff with it right away. Bitcoin protocol change has been compared to "upgrading the engine while the plane is still flying." But even with Bitcoin, protocol development is more centralized than development on top of Bitcoin.

I use nos2x, it works with Chrome or browsers based on Chrome. The one of these that I use is Kiwi Browser for Android which is fully open source.

Yeah, as far as Bluesky goes... I want them to interact with my npub or I'm probably not too interested. I'll try it out, maybe ill be suprised. there are a few things doing some of the same things that Nostr is. And I bet they wish they got started a year earlier. Which I think is why they are so upset, they spent so long just talking about which direction to go. Instead of just building without direction like Nostr. I feel like Bitcoin more has a business plan than Nostr does.

During Bitcoin.review, nvk brought up the idea of a parent public key, like a xpub and we keep that super safe and use child keys. Fiatjaf wasn't liking it. There might be something there, although I don't know how NIP05s would work with that.

Well the 'DID' (decentralized ID) folks associated with Impervious, Bluesky, Zion and Web5 want Nostr to conform to standards that have taken a considerable amount of time to deliberate. The article points out significant shortcomings that may arise if someone truly wanted to build an identity with nostr, and if keys were lost, didn't have another trusted account to declare a new account trustworthy from. Fiatjaf has had some words to say about the leftists who make up the W3C. Still DIDs are pretty alright, for one, they are based on the Bitcoin Blockchain, which many leftist groups don't even touch. Article seemed to aim to steer sentiments of the nostr dev community to be more open towards DID interoperability than will and fiatjaf have been.

I didn't get one! I just updated too! Wonder what I did wrong.

Trying to figure out what the new sovereign rollups on Bitcoin do. Been reading. So. Long. Still. Not. Sure. I know unlike a Validity Rollup, there is no trustless Bridge. I know the only way to reorg the rollup is by reorging the Bitcoin block. Which is damn secure. I guess I don't understand what EVM is. But we can do that now. Now the mempools will REALLY never clear again, lol!

Snorts super cool! Web based client great for mobile or desktop browser. (Use an extension to hold your keys like alby or nos2x) when #[4] does a livestream coding session on Twitch, it shows up as an embedded window on the feed, and you can zap tips right there.

They remind me of the OG counterparty rare pepes. The thing is, post NFT-mania, the only way to have fun like they used to when they knew they weren't worth anything is to make them unsellable, which is what these are.

They are fun art to collect. They are kinda like NFTs, but since you can't transfer them, it's not gonna become some weird big evil thing, and it will just stay fun and silly.

Gonna say it, Snort's doing great! Their Global has a thing where you can browse by relay... it's fun "surfing the channels!"

I think in the future, different communities will have different relays, where people might have their own slang and culture.

For now, it's more random. GIgi is on wine, I figured the damus relay would be cool, but it's feed is dominated by the Cowdle (wordle) game, lol.

Yeah, Amethyst and Iris, not sure this is the reason, everyone uses more than one client. I have noticed that some clients don't pick up on follower list although they have ALL my notes AND profile info. The first time I looked, my follow and follower list were gone on both clients, so I didn't bother checking the other times. I assumed that for some reason, follower info, unlike notes doesn't get 'redund-ed' (?) and possibly only gets sent to one relay. In that case, who knows, maybe it was just down for an hour or two. I went to a prominent Bitcoiner's follower list and added them back instead of waiting to see. I suppose I should have left someone I was positive I had followed un-refollowed to see if it would come back the next day to test the theory.
