I've added several paid relays but curious about the varying cost of each relay. Does paying 10ksats to a relay mean there's better value to be obtained than paying 500sats?

Taking baby steps, I have a question. I send sats and the lightning icon is then displayed filled. Does the recipent see who the payment comes from?

Answered at https://bitcoinqanda.info Not bad. Q. What is bitcoin, explain like I'm over 70 years old A. Bitcoin is a type of digital money that is created and held electronically. It is not backed by any physical currency like the US dollar, or any other traditional currency - instead, it is made up of a mathematical algorithm that means it can be easily and securely exchanged between people without the need for any sort of financial institution or middleman. Bitcoin is a decentralized system which means that it is not controlled by any government or financial institution, but is instead accessible to everyone with access to an internet-connected device. With Bitcoin, you can securely make payments for goods and services, transfer money to anyone in the world, and even shop anonymously, all without the need for a bank account or any other financial intermediary.

I can clearly remember the day Queen Elizabeth II was crowned. Does that make me the oldest Bitcoining boomer on nostr? I reckon I'm close.

100 years ago 1 oz of gold could buy 1 Saville Row suit. Today 1 oz of gold will buy 1 Saville Row suit. In 2013 1 bitcoin could buy 1 Saville Row suit In 100 years time 1 bitcoin will buy Saville Row

Nostrgram.co is certainly kicking goals.

is a pretty cool browser extension for LN payments.

I've put https://bitcoinqanda.info/ online, it's an ever-expanding repository of carefully selected answers and questions about Bitcoin.

I think all the developers helping nostr grow  are doing a magnificent job and I regularly show my appreciation via the LN  feature.

There are some sick people in the world and I think they are discovering nostr.

nostrgram.co appears to be a lot faster experience for me than astral.ninja.

Finally connected lightning. Taking baby steps.

It appears it's not possible to submit a complete LN url via astral profile setting, the address gets cut. Am I missing something?

Called into astral after a few days and it seems to be faster.👍

Right now astral.ninja is running at an acceptable speed, fingers crossed.

I'm not technical but would like to contribute to nostr by running a relay. I have a spare laptop i could dedicate to the project but there is no way i could do the install.. So I'm wondering if someone would help me do it remotely. I'd install say Teamviewer and handover the machine. Is this viable? Or is it too much of a stretch?
