Unappreciated difference between reading Nostr on your phone vs X - your feed doesn’t randomly refresh itself, whisking away a post that caught your eye before you actually had a chance to read it. 👍🏼

Soooo… I haven’t kept up with all the latest Nostr protocol developments- what’s the current response to “Nostr’s weak point is that it needs relays”? I.e. how does it scale when it needs a strong network of relays, and how can it be resilient when someone can attack relay operators / take those relays down?

Don’t be that guy… Set up your wallet, anon!

The biggest knock I had against Nostr before was “it’s fun but just too niche, you’re missing out on all the other topics and world events being discussed on Twitter” Now tho? Twitter (X) has just devolved into an algorithmic slop delivery system, amplifying and rewarding the engagement farmers and doom hustlers. Nostr is natural.

My NOSTR address (npub) is turning out to be a lot like my original Bitcoin address. Something I set up and played with awhile before setting it aside thinking it wasn’t really ever going to be worth anything. But each time I come back to it, it’s gotten better…

@yellow ¿Puedes llevarme más alto? 🔈🪇💃🎶🎺

Who can start me off down the “dry aging steak” rabbithole? Think I need to attain the next level of steak mastery and this feels like a good skill to pursue.

Look on the bright side, anon - Bitcoin has achieved a stable store of value - at $58k 👍🏼

Are you buying the dip, anon?

Pete Rizzo out there tapdancing to kill time / stalling until Trump’s ready to go on. @ODELL wishing he’d brought a flask of bourbon 😆

It’s 58 forever, Laura.

LMAO OF ALL NIGHTS, TONIGHT I AM ATTENDING A REPUBLICAN FUNDRAISING DINNER IN THE WEALTHIEST COUNTY IN RED STATE MONTANA. PERFECT TIMING, THEY’LL BREAK RECORDS TONIGHT. 🇺🇸🤠

KIND OF A BITTERSWEET "END OF AN ERA" MOMENT FOR ME TODAY WHEN I SLEEPILY FOLLOWED MY MORNING HABIT OF CHECKING MY BITCOIN LIGHTNING NETWORK ROUTING NODE FOR HEALTH AND ROUTING FEES EARNED - FORGETTING I HAD JUST SPENT THE LAST FEW DAYS TAKING ADVANTAGE OF LOW ONCHAIN FEES TO CLOSE EVERYTHING DOWN AND RETURN ALL BITCOIN TO COLD STORAGE. FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE 2018, I HAVE ZERO LIGHTNING NODES. THANKS FOR THE EXPERIMENT, LIGHTNING! YOU WERE INTERESTING, AND FRUSTRATING.

DUMB NOSTR QUESTION - THOUGHT THERE WAS A PROPOSAL TO ENABLE SELF DELETION OF POSTS (NOTES) - IS THAT IDEA DEAD? (I WANT THE ABILITY TO DELETE MY OWN NOSTR NOTES / FLAG THEM FOR DELETION ACROSS THE NETWORK.)

SO HAS ANYONE EVER APOLOGIZED FOR TAPROOT AKA THE LAST TIME BITCOIN ADDED A HIGH COMPLEXITY LOW ROI CHANGE, WITH UNFORSEEN NEGATIVE CONSEQUENCES?

I HOLD IDENTICAL AMOUNTS OF SKEPTICISM FOR PEOPLE TRYING TO CHANGE BITCOIN AND PEOPLE TRYING TO CHANGE THE US CONSTITUTION.

FILTHY US DOLLARS ARE EXORBITANTLY OVERPRICED TODAY, EVEN MORESO THAN USUAL! I CERTAINLY WON’T BE BUYING ANY.

“WE’RE ALL GETTING GIRLFRIENDS”

THE “THEY’D NEVER DO A 6102 ON BITCOIN” CROWD ARE GOING TO LOOK LIKE ABSOLUTE IDIOTS WITHIN 5-10 YEARS, TOPS. THEY ALREADY SOUND LIKE IDIOTS TO ANYONE PAYING ATTENTION.

POOR PEOPLE WHO COULDN’T FIGURE OUT HOW TO ACCUMULATE WEALTH IN A FIAT SYSTEM WOULD FARE EVEN WORSE IN A BITCOIN SYSTEM.
