Wow. I've been refraining from posting inscription info here on nostr but it would be fairly trivial to setup a bot to show latest inscriptions or what's in the mempool using my existing nodeyez scripts.

Here's an example from an inscription that got confirmed in block 779642

One of my favorite features of Nostr is that I don't need to get permission from some central authority to develop stuff to use it.

I don't need an API Key to retrieve events.

I don't need to register my name or a phone number with a central authority.

I don't need to buy X amount of credits or sign up for a 7-day trial.

With a constrained budget in traditional systems a paywall stops me in my tracks. But with Nostr, things are either no cost, or I can pay with lightning. Can't stress enough how micropayments help

I can write some code, try stuff out, make changes, try some more and eventually get to a point where I find it useful enough

Where possible, I do all my testing in production.

I hope Nostr is opening up possibilities for others as well.

Oh, I understand! Here's what yours looks like now for me using Amethyst.

Eu sei, por isso mencionei que estou usando outro cliente!

Está vendo o meu aí? Estou pelo Damus no iOS, estão atrasados!

Relay icons are coming along nicely.

Is it me or has nostr gotten quieter over the past several days?

If you steal Bitcoin and return it the same year, then you don't need to report capital gains to IRS.

Ecash for Bitcoin shouldn't be compared to altcoins, the comparison is not productive in my view. On an abstract level, ecash is a method to replace old, transparent ledger-based systems in custodial scenarios with a blinded signature scheme. Sure it hurts shitcoins because every Bitcoin innovation hurts shitcoins but it's not a replacement for them.

Think of these use cases where you'd probably prefer ecash:

- You top up your balance for your VPN provider with Bitcoin and pay per MB used.

- You pay per minute that you watch on Netflix.

- You have a phone plan subscription.

- You have a balance on an exchange.

- You earn mining rewards in a pool.

- You want to pay a nostr relay for each message you send.

- Voting up posts on stacker news without them knowing what you do.

- You want to sell general access to API endpoints without identifying your users.

- You have a custodial wallet like Wallet of Satoshi.

Let's be real for a second: Not even Lightning itself (which I'm extremely fond of), let alone blockchain based tokens, are ideal for some of these cases because it is not 100% reliable, fees are too high for micro transactions, running a node sucks for UX, and it's not private enough.

So here is my take: In cases where a shitcoin was used *only because* it offers better privacy than Bitcoin, ecash could maybe replace it in some places, sure. In trustless cases, it won't. There are just too many different dimensions for a productive comparison because ecash and blockchain-based cryptos are just too different. It's better to think of it as a complementary tool in our toolchain, or one additional way of expressing Bitcoin usage in the real world.

Whatever it is, I'm certain of one thing: You won't find as many motivated people in shitcoin land as in Bitcoin who are eager to build ecosystems around it so we can upgrade the entire financial stack of the world.

You’re my people. That’s how I found it. 🙌🏼

Yes, I work on the Adoption Team.

**Nostr exclusive!**

Sovryn Dollar (DLLR), a fully backed bitcoin stablecoin launches this week on main-net assuming no interruptions in development in the next few days.

I want to use habla.news but I can't login, can't edit and I can't swap accounts. The getalby plugin doesn't login properly. Sometimes the login button vanishes. I want to use it but it's so problematic.

#nostr developer ready for anything

Ethereum cannot read or write to Bitcoin. Stacks can and does and has its own wire formats and op codes, which is why this works on Stacks and not on any other existing chains.
