Schrödinger’s relays… Sometimes on Damus, the notes don’t load and I see 2/13 in the upper right corner indicating active relays. But, when I click through to the relay page, most of them appear online and then I jump to 10/13 or something. Rinse, repeat.

My favorite analogy for Lightning Loop is that it’s a Brinks cash truck for Lightning businesses. A business fills up on Lightning payments and needs the truck to bring those sats to a safer, on-chain layer. As an added benefit, you replenish your inbound in the process.

One of the best podcast episodes I've listened to this year.

In one paragraph or less, explain to a "normie" why they should use Nostr as it exists today (not taking into account future use cases yet). Normie = non-bitcoiner, someone who hasn't been deplatformed, uses Twitter for random news/entertainment, etc Basically, ELI5 why Nostr, why now. 5,000 sats zapped to the best answer.

What paid relays have people had the most success with/would recommend?

hello nostriches 🤙🏼
