@Gary ₿usey what #nostr client are you using? I keep getting subscribe/unsubscribe events:

I love zaps ⚡! They are a great way to send some value-for-value. However, zaps are a bad way to judge the general importance of a note, because someone could just zap themselves large amounts to send their note "trending", or otherwise impress onlookers, while actually incurring no real cost. Here's my (maybe shocking/dumb) idea: should there be an option to *burn* sats 🔥 on a note? This would constitute a "proof-of-cost" that can't be gamed. People could maybe zap half and burn half, ⚡🔥. That way the note creator gets value, but there is also a hard evidence that this post has value! #asknostr

Someday, kids will hardly believe what banks got away with. "But dad, so when you asked for a loan, that money was just created by the bank? And you promised to pay it back, with interest, while they did nothing? And if you kept it on an account, it was technically still theirs not yours? And even with all this free money, they regularly managed to go bankrupt out of greed, and asked the people to bail them out? And you did, and made them even bigger every time?" "Yes, son." "..."

I often see unsubscribe/subscribe event pairs, is this a bug or do people just have twitchy fingers?

Wait did I actually catch the #zapathon this time? ⚡️🥳

How does 'mute' work in #Nostr? I know that if I mute a spambot, I don't see its notes anymore. But say that A mutes B. A writes a note, then B writes a reply (but A does not see it). Then C replies to B's note. Does A see C's reply, and get confused as to what C is talking about? Or is A left out of that conversation altogether? #asknostr

Would you support a constitutional amendment enshrining the right to self-custody bitcoin? #asknostr

I see plenty of takes that I strongly disagree with on #nostr, and while they annoy me, I feel overjoyed because I know that free speech is succeeding
