Has anyone attempted building a #nostr Relay that just connects to a bunch of other relays so users only have to connect to one relay?

A plea to Apple

We ask you, Apple, please do not ban

The Damus app or any other Bitcoin app

These apps are not harmful, they're not a scam

They're simply tools that people can use to transact

We believe in freedom of speech and choice

We believe that people should be able to use their phones

To do whatever they want, without fear of their phone

Being taken away or their data being stolen or spied upon

So please, Apple, do not ban these apps

Let people use them to transact and communicate

Let people use them to build a better future

A future where everyone has the freedom to choose

People talk like banning Damus is going to backfire, as if people are going to "wake up" and suddenly flock to Nostr. Motherfucker, do you even REMEMBER covid? Nobody is going to wake up. You are a member of a small, niche online community that the powers that be would happily crush and you need to start thinking like that way. The first order of business is to protect what you have. If your app is dependent on the app store for distribution then it's not going to make it - it'll either be neutered or banned. Sorry, but that's just the way it is. You can't take on big tech while using their infrastructure.

I have been running an umbrel for awhile. It may be user error, but it doesn't seem to stay online for more than a couple of days at a time. On a pi4.

How do you make an octopus laugh?

This guy is relentless with private messages. Try’s to get you to his telegram. Even after politely telling him not interested he persists.

So here I will say it in public. Fuck off and stop messaging me.

Lot's of questions for Amethyst today. I was mostly away doing other things but hopefully, I addressed some of the concerns.

One of my biggest beliefs in computer science is that apps/frameworks MUST be opinionated. The author should make decisions that drive a certain type of experience from his/her app/framework. Failing to make those choices only reduces competition and further diminishes the value of the app. Open source takes this vision one step further since anyone can fork a given app at any time and implement their own ways of doing business. When the two concepts are combined they create the perfect decentralization vector.

I am distributing Amethyst with an MIT License because I want to see others using the code. Forkers can do whatever they want with it, including opening a for-profit company based on my code. I sincerely want to see multiple forks with different decisions and, hopefully, new features/designs being offered. And the best way for me to enable forks is to be opinionated. This opens the door for other developers to pitch their own ideas for the future of the app. It would be very "corporate" of me to just implement options for everything. But I firmly believe that causes more damage than creates solutions in the long term.

So.. Keep forking. Let's see what you got.

Have you checked for an update… I don’t have enough LTC for the minimum requirement to swap so I can’t go beyond the all button to test it fully on mine

What’s wrong with exodus?

Fiat brick houses being built🤮🫣
