I listened to the joe rogan podcast episode and his testimony to congress on suppressing the hunter biden laptop story. That was enough for me to realize what POS this guy is. I don’t buy for a second the “I’ve changed” act.

Quem é jumento suficiente pra usar uma merda dessas?

Isso é como um proxy, caralho! Larguem de serem burros! Estão centralizando o "incentralizavel".

Boa noite!

So as a 'influencer' if either get pressured or shut down then people just build another social account on the new platform? Everyone will migrate with no loss of followers right? Right?

The fact that bluesky has a CEO is all you need to know.

Find your 2 favorite relays and make sure they are not going to delete your data.

Right.

I think people are going to be wondering what relays are and what the implications of choosing a relay over another. Will this affect my experience here? Can I change later? What's the right choice? All of this is friction.

Either that for have a 'Randomly pick for me.' Button. From a UX perspective it's too much for many normies. I already hear it from people who have tried nostr and left.

Look, its just my 2 sats from a slightly more technical normie wanting to help.

Have you chosen 1 or 2 home relays that MUST have all your posts? That's the first step.

Enough of this asshole.

Nostr and bitcoin share taproot as identity. That is the powerful thing, and the synergy at the intersection.

The relay part shows a proof of concept, of what can be, but relays dont scale much beyond rapid prototyping.

Notes and other stuff, bitcoin, taproot are all good. The intersection is hugely unexplored. There is a whole financial layer there, smart contracts, derivative, streaming sats, gamification, over and beyond anything lightning can dream of. It's an untapped gold mine, and I know you're going to figure this out!

Of course not. People will start using them more once bot spam becomes too annoying or free relays become too crowded.

Nostr.wine is one of the more popular paid relays. Analytics... Dunno. Have a look at nostr.band . Maybe you can find a paid relay in the top 20 relays. I doubt it though 😅

It’s not good. We want decentralization so that nostr is censorship resistant. It’s better to have many smaller nodes.

The issue is that the clients don’t work well with a large number of small nodes. For example, Damus recommends 10 or fewer.

If you can only connect to a limited number of nodes, then you will choose the largest ones so that you can maximize your reach.

If everyone chooses the largest nodes, then we have increasing centralization… which isn’t good.

The speed of development using modern tools is incredible.

I have the simple frame of a native app working for Mac, Windows, Linux, iOS, and Android working after just a few hours. 🔥
