Nice that the #nostr "good ol' days" are here. Thing is, they're here to stay.

-- Nostr No Comment -- On YouTube and Wordpress, a creator can opt to turn off comments (at post or account level). It can be used to stop harassment, threats, scams, or for businesses that just want to post announcements. Nostr is more than just a twitter replacement. It could be the next advancement in blogs, replace YouTube, etc. A comment-free nostr note could still be be reposted and discussed by others, retaining the social aspect. #[0]​ #[1]​ #[2]​ and everyone else, what do you think about having the ability, for users that want it, to turn off comments on a post or at the account level?

#WelcometoNostr Day 6 Let's get technical. How does the Nostr Protocol work?

The Nostr Protocol

This is a high-level overview of the Nostr protocol with details on Event types and how Nostr Implementation Possibilities (NIPs) work.

Day 5 of #WelcometoNostr How to post/embed a link in a nostr note. Copy the full URL of the webpage, YouTube video, etc. It usually starts with “https” Then paste it in your note. Thank you, nostr client for making the link look awesome!

Hey Nostriches! I need some help. I've created some Nostr T-Shirts and have listed them on Amazon. There are more designs I'd like to add, but I first have to sell just a few more shirts to open up the next tier to be able to add more designs. It’s an AmazonMerch thing. If not, I'll take down a couple of the current designs and add the new ones in their place. Just wanted to offer it out there for any interested in getting some Nostr Tees for #nostrica conversation starters, gifts, etc. I’ve got them on Amazon US, UK, IT, ES, DE, and JP. Much thanks for any help spreading the word!

Let's have some fun. What caption would you give to this?

#WelcometoNostr Day 3 aka March 3rd of #MarchOffTwitter How to post an image. When I started, I couldn't find anything that indicated how to post an image on Nostr. After a little guesswork, it worked. For those who may be wondering, here's how. As of the current date, there's no upload a picture button. I believe this will come with future client updates. Right now, your image needs to simply be posted somewhere on the Internet. To get it in your Nostr note/post, copy the full url to the image. It will usually start with https and end with .jpg You can host your image pretty much anywhere you can get the url. #[2]​ runs Nostr Build to help with this. Where you can upload a file and get the url to post into your Nostr note. Easy peezy!

#WelcometoNostr Day 2 What are private keys, npubs, nsecs, and what's my password? Nostr is built upon incredibly cool cryptography. There's no username and password combo that a central authority keeps for you and can potentially leak in a data breach. Instead, your "account" on Nostr has a public key (looks like a long string of jumbled numbers and letters). That public key is what identifies you on the the Nostr network and not a username. Depending on the client you use, you'll find your public key under your public profile name and is displayed to all users. The only way to make a post to the "account" that your public key represents is with your private key. Cryptography makes it so only your private key can post (or "sign") a note as valid to be posted to the “account” with your public key. Public Key = Everyone can see, and is how you're found. Private Key = Keep secret. Someone gets your private key, they can post to your account. You can save your private key in a password manager like 1Password or Bitwarden. Other than that, don't post/display the private key anywhere. For ease of use, some clients display a version of your keys with prefixes: "npub" which represents your Nostr Public Key "nsec" which represents your Nostr Secrect/Private Key There are no passwords on Nostr, just Public and Private key pairs that work through cryptography. The benefit is that you're not tied to any one client, your account is extremely secure, and each message is cryptographically validated that it's you (or the one holding your private key) that posted the note. Hope that helps for a little primer. I'm not the best at concise explanations. Anyone else want to chime in, feel free! We're all learning. Welcome to Nostr, it's a beautiful place!

Nostr is awesome. Each note a beautiful blossom. …a tiny exaggeration, maybe, but the general idea holds.

I remember it like it was yesterday… #[0]​ was zapping left and right. Notifications went bananas. People were so happy. Those were the days.

The Midjourney command to switch from priority processing to slow is /relax Wish I could do that for my mind. ...faint words of a wise wizard/jedi/monk/mentor echo: "It's called meditation! Close your eyes and breathe!" /relax

Communities on Nostr are awesome! Reach out. Post about your interests. We're all wonderfully weird in our own ways. #WelcometoNostr
