Hey @REDKAZ⚡️| YakiHonne / @YakiHonne - it's happened again, and I've not touched anything (honestly dad it wasn't me 🤣). The only relay still in my list is fountain.fm. I'll reinstate the others and ditch fountain, as I guess it's bumping the others somehow. Happy to assist if I can help this be solved. View quoted note →

How I ended up on nostr and started to claw back my freedom View quoted note →

Here's my first ever published article. I am no writer (or am I?). I'm putting myself out there to be criticised, to improve what I know, to improve how I write, how I can communicate more effectively. Let me know your thoughts, I'm here to learn. #asknostr #nostr #freedom #de-google #blogging #privacy #pleb #plebchain View article →

🎄 Day 4: Day 4: NIPs - Nostr Implementation Possibilities 📝 Ah NIPs, that's what they are. Also, big up @yakihonne - a great nostr client 📚 Learn: NIPs (Nostr Implementation Possibilities) are proposals that extend the protocol's capabilities. From basic text notes (NIP-01) to Lightning zaps (NIP-57) and encrypted messages (NIP-04), NIPs document how features work. Anyone can propose a NIP, and the community decides what gets adopted. This open process drives innovation. 🟣 App of the Day: yakihonne.com

Morning. Thought for the day: nostr (this social version) goes mainstream, and proves it works at scale - where else can it become the norm as way of a decentralised architecture? (I think in my head I'm confusing it and misunderstanding it with blockchain technology - or are the two essential bedfellows?). #asknostr #nostr #nostrdevs #nostrs-devs #plebchain #imlearninsomuchhereandlovinit

Adding relays and their stability definitely needs to improve. I havnt got a clue how difficult a fix it is, but when your relays disappear for whatever reason (probably my fault tbh, but again no clue) then you have to remeber them, look them up/type them in, it's a bit of a pain in the arse. I love tinkering, playing with settings, going under the hood and I love that nostr builds and inovates so quickly, but the average newb at some point will get sick and walk away. Rather than this post being a negative winge, can I ask what are the major relay UX bottlenecks? And can I be a padantic guinea pig if any solutions are out their. #nostr #nostrdevs #nostrs-devs #asknostr #plebs #pleb #plebchain @YakiHonne

The young'n is at secondary school and what a croc of shit it is. He's a creative soul that loves maths and art equally, and loves to show his flare for the subjects. But at school if he doesn't adhere to there A4 1990s-esq print outs, their dogmatic lessons or their rigid methods, then apparently his take on things is no good, not time-worthy or even entertaining. Let kids be creative, let them stray from the prescribed, let them argue and discuss. Don't just parrot fashion feed them some material. Creativity, making mistakes, real word problems, fun and progress is what's needed. Don't even get me started on their strictness for no reason, reward system, incessant testing or their fingerprinting "cash" system. Parents evening is gonna be fun.

🎄 Day 3: Day 3: Relays Explained 📝 Any newbs wanting understand what Nostr is and how it works? #NostrAdvent2025 is a great place to start. 📚 Learn: Relays are lightweight servers that store and forward Nostr events. They don't own your data or control your account. You can use multiple relays for redundancy, and switch between them freely. Unlike traditional platforms, relays are interchangeable infrastructure, not gatekeepers. Your data remains yours regardless of which relay you use. 🟣 App of the Day: nostr.watch https://nostr.watch 👤 Person to Follow: npub1ymt2j3n8tesrlr0yhaheem6yyqmmwrr7actslurw6annls6vnrcslapxnz #NostrAdvent2025

Getting ever closer to actually publishing my first ever blog post. I can't believe this is me and I'm very much treating it as a mindset exercise rather than a deft piece of writing or a hot take. If I can publicly get something out there, that is my biggest hurdle, then hopefully it will develop in to something more substantial. #blogging #blogstr #plebchain

Proper pleb Q 🙋‍♂️🤦‍♂️ - Bookmarks (yes there's slightly bigger issues) Desktop ✅️ Android - I have a random list of over 100 posts/articles and can't find what I want to read. Using @YakiHonne

🎄 Day 2: Day 2: Public Key Cryptography 📝 I didn't have a clue what Nostr was 4 month ago, now I see my keys as a critical part of my online identity. Go nostr. 📚 Learn: Nostr uses public key cryptography to secure your identity. Your public key (npub) is your address on the network, while your private key (nsec) signs your messages. This cryptographic foundation means no central authority can ban or control your account. Your keys are your identity, and they work across every Nostr client. 🟣 App of the Day: damus.io
