Peeliñg back the skin on mainstream social media. All those hunches that something changed in the 2010's to ruin a good idea. It's Nostr's time now

#nos2x-fox Can anyone help #asknostr I have set up the extension mobile and desktop, using my public-private key with a json profile. 1 - Why doesn't the extension log me in using the profile I have set up? eg The extension seems to generate a random npub on the first smaller screen display and use that when I try to login to say Nostr Chat, rather than npub I have installed on the main dashboard. Am I missing some sort of selection button for the account I want to login with, or am I missing the point of what the extension does! 2 - I have logged into nostrchat as my desired npub with the extension, but when I tried a chat, Nostrchat requested my private key to reply. That doesn't seem right. When I land on a nostr friendy site the extension pops up as expected and I can authorize time limits, which seem to be reflected in the "revoke" info on the dashboard. And zapping works OK too. So it is functioning, just I have not got it going slick 3 - I went on wavlake and zapped with the blessing of the extension! But...epic fail with trying to "login with Nostr". nos2x-fox was nowhere to be found. Maybe that's a wavlake issue? Any ideas welcome Cheers

entering the dangerous phase of adopting Nostr!. Stated off simple and seemed to work, but now Not sure what the event signers are doing, if anything. I thought Alby was desktop, but it flashed up on my mobile phone. #nos2x-fox desktop seems more present but it seems to generate random npubs while seeming to be set on my default one, which I want to use. And #Amber doesn't appear to be doing anything. I tried logging into primal and nothing popped up as a signer. Amber dashboard literally says go try out an app which I did hoping Amber wound deal with login. Any guiding hand most welcome. I want to get this worked out because I'm determined to make Nostr my home.

Awww, cutey varmint. #catsr They had the best mother cat a kitten could hope for. Imagine my surprise when they emerged from a stone wall and took up residence next to the house. These are last of the bloodline. I learnt the hard way, you gotta be on top of the repro situation else the population soon gets out of hand and cats are no longer cute, but just another pest.

Vintage BTC sessions

If you are growing food I would like hear from you on Nostr. Even moreso if you are building a local community food exchange or other form of economic cooperation between neighbours, local businesses. Bitcoin can't work if the main drive stays within the bitcoin maxi financial and developer demographic. It's amazing what you guys have done and do, but bitcoin needs for that passion to get off the keyboard and out the office and into the wider world where nyms and nips and halvenings and cpi and FED strategies are not a staple on the daily menu. If you read my bio, the time has come for me to graduate from hodling with a rudimentary grasp of wallets and do my bit to integrate bitcoin into an egg business in the regular world. So any help and advice or inspiration from bitcoin central, Nostr, will be most welcome.

I can't zap anyone on Primal right now. no support for the wallet in Spain, Alby haven't invited me so I can't link my non custodial wallet. Somehow I made a zap on amethyst though. So @Jameson Lopp can thank them for being 20 sats better off

Enjoying Ghost after years of WordPress complexity. Added drop down menus and discovered free Tally contact forms after looking around @Marty Bent website. I had tried a couple of other form services but interacting with Tally, both creating form and their communication, seemed very fluid.
