Is it possible to publish a Nostr note without typos? 🤔 (It took me attempts to write the question above. 😄)

I think this whole 'You can just...' thing is turning into its own cultural movement. Let freedom ring! View quoted note →

I missed this news! Is the restaurant accepting on-chain payments or Lightning? #asknostr View quoted note →

I've set up #Bitchat on my phone and got another friend to do the same. Both are Android. We've both messed around with the app, tried toggling Bluetooth on and off, etc. Unfortunately, neither of us can see the other. Any recommendations for fixing this? Or any ideas of what we overlooked? #asknostr

Nostriches, when are we going to fork the Brave browser? Let's dump BAT and use lightning or cashu to earn while surfing. That would help to avoid KYC nonsense on Brave as well! #asknostr #grownostr

I know I'm a little late to the party here, but forgive me. I'm just discovering #Reticulum for the first time now. Last night, I watched this video on YouTube about a guy named Juraj sending sats with a LoRa broadcast, using the Reticulum protocol and cashu. If I understand everything correctly, that broadcast is encrypted, so there's little threat of the tokens being stolen. As long as the cashu mint is still up and running, the recipient gets his sats and can convert them back to LN or even standard BTC thereafter. Super cool!

#Meshtastic & #Reticulum nerds, I'm thinking about getting a bunch of cheap devices and playing with both protocols. If I've understood things correctly, Meshtastic works more like a radio in that each device itself is what has an 'identity' and that your phone app merely helps you to access any messages that come through. Thus, if some friends and I wanted to test out Meshtastic, we'll each need our own LoRa devices, even if all at the same office or residence. For Reticulum, the RNode device relays messages, but your identity is actually tied to Sideband or whatever software you're using. So in that case, we could get away with a single RNode device on a single property but have different mobile devices with Sideband. At least, for testing purposes when everyone is within reasonable range of the device. Am I on the right path so far? #asknostr

I'm thinking about getting into LoRa. It seems like a cool hobby, and I'd like to connect with other enthusiasts as I travel. From a brief, initial search, I'm seeing Lorawan and Meshtastic, with the latter looking like the more decentralized option. For LoRa nerds, what are some budget nodes you'd recommend for a total newbie? (I have near zero idea how to solder or setup electronics components from scratch.) And just as importantly, what frequency should I prioritize? For reference, I spend most of my time in Southeast Asia (Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, Philippines, etc.). #asknostr #meshtastic #LoRa @shortwavesurfer2009

Which web clients will allow me to sign in with Amber on my phone? I tried scanning the QR on Coracle and approved the login on Amber. Yet, nothing happened on the Coracle side thereafter. Any other web clients I could temporarily log into when borrowing a computer and want to browse and post to Nostr? #asknostr

I've always admired folks that know how to grow, raise, and harvest their own food. Hopefully, I can settle down one day and do something similar. In the meantime, anybody else homestead, hunt, or otherwise produce their own nutrition? Stories? Pics? View quoted note →

The sad thing is, there aren't too many 'good guys' out there. In the case of the Russia-Ukraine War, Russia's hands aren't exactly clean either:

#XMR nerds, does the #Monero community have any 'holidays' that are celebrated during the year? Something akin to Bitcoin Pizza Day? #asknostr

This reminds me a lot of Facebook offering cheap or discounted access to its Messenger app in countries like the Philippines.

Access to Facebook messenger to become free in 14 countries: Armenia not among them

I've just learned that Mozilla is sunsetting Pocket.

The Verge

Mozilla is shutting down Pocket

Pocket had a nearly two-decade-long run.

For those who avidly read and like to bookmark articles and miscellaneous links to read later, Pocket was one of the most popular. What should I switch to now? Instapaper? Self-host Wallabag? Bonus points if any services & apps integrate well with a Kobo ebook reader, Moaan Inkpalm, and/or the Boox Palma. #asknostr #reading #bookstr

It's a pretty weird way to start the day, but I just enjoyed the last few bites of the durian I had leftover from last night. Oh, the joys of living in Southeast Asia! #SoutheastAsia #durian

None of the links seem to be working for me. When I glance at where they point to, every single one is showing "javascript:void(0)".

Nostr bookmarks have been both a blessing and a curse for me. On the one hand, they're an easy way to quickly save a note. But on the other, the multiple clients issue means I have to check on both mobile and desktop where I might have saved something (and which client, as I'm a weirdo who uses multiple clients on both!). Anyone know of a way to merge my bookmark lists or to make Nostr clients all access the same list? #asknostr View quoted note →
