Discovering signal on nostr
love the “aha” moment
Nostr as core foundation & we get to choose our experience of it. #ProtocolsNotPlatforms
Somos afortunados de que una venta sea imposible. Nostr es un protocolo, no una plataforma.
Twitter también podría correr Nostr, así como lo hace Damus y tantos otros clientes.

What does the future HODL for nostr?
The strength of a protocol
In a land often filled with platforms
nostr will weather the bot storms
good nostr everyone
Instead of good nights & good mornings, perhaps we’ll wish each other good nostrs.
Good Nostr
words carry meaning & melody
Testing different nostr clients…
It is nice to see how the same protocol gets interpreted and shaped into unique experiences.
It is natural for empowered people to support empowering protocols. #lovenostr
Hope everyone gets+gifts some sats like a nostr rite of passage
nostr is testing ground for lightning
⚡️⚡️⚡️
# A few days on Nostr can show you:
Your relay may be down and in the red...
but the community's got your back, check nostr.watch and add relays to your list.
Type wss://and.then.the.relays.name
If you're using damus you can add them in your settings.
Mirrors here are not for vanity, relays are running but it's not a race...
If you're up for the challenge, strengthen the protocol by running or mirroring nostr.
Life may be plain...
but nostr's got markdown. Best use of **asterisks** I've seen.
You may be zapped by lightning...
and a payment button will appear like magic. If you're adding your lightning invoice using bluewallet remember to remove the words "lightning:"
Don't fall for fakes by relying on a name, trust the math - public keys are rad
Don't share your private key & keep it safe
Keep it short and sweet...
but if you've got more to say, you've got room to spare
Typos are permanent...
but so are your words. Nothing is perfect.
And if you're to run into trouble...
ask away, someone's always willing to help you out
and you'll help improve nostr along the way
Grateful for protocols, not platforms
*This is why we nostr!*
Today, we nostr.
To be human is to BUIDL connections.
Social media should support those connections. It should remove as many barriers and friction from those connections. It should innovate on supporting that freedom of expression.
To share the many ways we connect is part of our voice and identity.
Fear and competition build walls.
Love and cooperation create sustainable ecosystems where each platform & client has its own niche.
Being able to verify the public key will become more important with time. Perhaps you could place the key underneath the bio, or have a key icon you could tap on to reveal.
