How many Matthieu are there in the world? How many of them are eyeing that coveted alias 😂
I changed mine. Had FOMO. What if in 30 years pretty #[5] aliases are worth several Bitcoins! 😂
Probably not going to happen but oh well!
You’ve been busy! 😝
Hey Nostr! Long time no see! 🤙🤙
Going to see #Hamilton this week. I have mixed feelings about seeing a musical about one of the founders of JP Morgan Chase, one of the largest banks in the world.
But computers didn’t exist then 🤷🏻♂️
That said I like to be “paid” to post. I’m not a Nostr celebrity like you #[3] but it’s still rewarding even though the amount is well, a couple of pennies.
Looking at sites like Twitter or Reddit, any interactions you make profits them. Page views = more ads. If you pay to reward someone on Reddit, Reddit gets the money and the recipient gets a new icon for their profile! (Eek).
On Nostr or Stacker News at least the money is distributed to other users. I’d rather have a million users be a tiny bit richer than have a million users enrich a single CEO.
I know it’s not quite the same issue you are asking about but I’d be curious to see how decentralization impacts how people view giving away sats.
That’d be a good PhD thesis!
Reddit is similar with karma points. There’s lots of posts farming points. But what’s interesting is that some subs recently adopted reward systems tied to money … r/cryptocurrencies has moons.
I don’t have empirical evidence but a lot of people complained about the change saying that now people just post whatever will get them the most money.
Stacker news is like that too. You get zaps for posts or comments. How would the feed compare if it was just worthless points?
Any behavioural economists in the room? 😂
I haven’t been on Nostr in almost 2 weeks? Feels like an eternity in Nostr years!!
Are we still here?
Nostr still a thing?
Any memorable moments?
😂
Can we submit a bug report to apple that they should remove the worthless $ from the keyboard and replace it with the Bitcoin symbol?
I agree with #[5] … existing clients should be as accessible as possible. It’s not fair to tell a person with a disability that they can’t use a leading app just because the developer didn’t want to make it accessible.
It’s like saying to people in a wheelchair “no you can’t use public transit because our buses are not accessible… so go build your own transit system”.
Damus has some (very basic) accessibility features such as an option to disable animations, and the ability for Damus to respect font size as set up in iOS as opposed to use a randomly small text size as in the earlier version. That doesn’t hinder the experience for anyone.

A while ago (February… which is forever ago in Nostr years) #[2] was complaining that Nostr was painfully slow in Africa at the time if I recall correctly. I wonder if things improved since?
Good morning!
Birds are not real. They are watching you. *cue ominous music*
Il y a déjà plusieurs services qui permettent de créer des profiles Nostr depuis des fils rss.
