That’s precisely my use case! It can also do a lot of niceties like proxy fetching external media for you
Hyperbitcoinization accelerates when you can only buy what you want with bitcoin, that’s why we need producers/builders to adopt bitcoin first; the rest will follow
Will do; I named my proxy mobstr precisely because it helps so much with battery and performance on the go
If we want to onboard the global south to nostr we can’t ask them to download GBs of data over spotty/expensive networks on a daily basis
Yeah, precisely. I’ve been using nostr on the go in Thailand and Vietnam in the past few months and it eats up my data allowance 😔
Main benefits: a single connection, handy for data-usage on mobile and privacy
Privacy tip for nostr:
If you want your notes to reach many relays, but you don't want to reveal your IP address to all of them, then connect to a proxy relay instead.
This way only the proxy will learn your IP address, but your note still reaches all known relays with only a minor latency.
Blastr is a free and open rust code to run such a relay as a cloudflare worker by #[0] & #[1]. https://github.com/MutinyWallet/blastr
To configure it, simply add the nostr.mutinywallet.com relay to your nostr client, and configure it to only upload, not download notes. Then disable upload for all other relays.
Write a new note, and see in a third party client if that note shows up. If yes, you can rest assured that many may read your notes, but only a few learn your IP address.
If you use a VPN or Tor ontop, then even the mutiny wallet and cloudflare server do not learn your IP.
I’m working on a proper nostr proxy to unify all event publishing and fetching as well as relay traversal (intelligently fetch missing events)
MIT-licensed and easy to self-host.
Do you think you’d use it or do you prefer this approach, #[3] ?
Nope, has no suport at all of LN. Yet? #[3]
wait, you still think nostr is about social networks?
cya!

Payments being built-in and frictionless allows us to stop trading attention:
valuable content > promise of valuable content
No more “time for a 🧵”
marketing judo: use the opponent’s ad dollars to decentralize the internet

my zap didn't go through so here goes in good old kind=1
🤝 BUILDERS GONNA BUILD
we'll kill clickbaity titles one zap at a time
Keep the tags imo;
clients should have an easy way to ignore p tags that tag a no-notifications-from-this event.
Just did my largest zap to date.
This way of interacting with content is not just better, it's an entirely different paradigm.
