I finally published a Turkish introduction to Nostr. I tried to explain clients, relays, events, kinds, public and private keys, and signers in the simplest way I could. There are still many people in Türkiye who have never heard of Nostr, so I think Turkish content matters. If you know someone who is curious but does not know where to start, feel free to share it. ⚡ #nostrorgtr #nostr #signer #nostrturkiye #skysigner

Nostr ekosistemine yeni bir Türkçe röle daha katıldı: wss://relay.nostr.org.tr Umarım hepimiz için uzun ömürlü, açık ve güzel bir topluluk noktası olur. Nostr Türkiye’de büyümesine küçük de olsa katkı sağlayan her yeni adım değerli benim için. Röleyi ekledim ve ilk testler başarılı. Hayırlı olsun! #nostr #bitcoin #turkey #relay

What do you actually have to do to earn ZAPs on Nostr? Post better content? Be useful? Be funny? Take your shirt off? 😂 Joking aside, my first ZAP was genuinely special to me. It was 100 sats from @GG, and I think I’ll remember that first ZAP no matter how many I may receive in the future. The first one just hits differently. ⚡ Still trying to figure out the secret Nostr ZAP formula though. 😄 #nostr #zaps #bitcoin

One thing Nostr keeps teaching me is that there is no single “Nostr experience.” Change the client, change the relays, change the signer, and suddenly the same network feels completely different. Sometimes that is confusing. Sometimes that is exactly what makes it interesting. What part of Nostr took you the longest to really understand? #asknostr #nostr

Most of the money we use every day is already just numbers in databases. Our bank balances are not piles of cash waiting somewhere with our names on them. If everyone tried to withdraw at the same time, there simply would not be enough physical currency. Money has already become mostly abstract. That is one of the reasons I find Bitcoin, hard assets and monetary systems so fascinating. What do you personally consider “real money”? #bitcoin #money #asknostr

I started mining because I wanted to understand how it works. Now I check hashrate, shares and blocks like they are football scores. 😂⛏️ What was the first thing that pulled you into Bitcoin mining? #Bitcoin #BitcoinMining #Mining

I’ve been playing around with Nostr Profile Card Maker and made a few versions of my SkyLords profile card. Nostr identity, NIP 05, Lightning address, QR code, and a little Bitcoin atmosphere all in one card. ⚡ Now I can’t decide which version I like most. Purple, orange or blue? Which one would you pick? 😄 #nostr #bitcoin #lightning

I have a Jingle Miner Lottery Mini running SHA256D at around 300 kH/s. I know this is a real Bitcoin lottery ticket rather than serious mining. But I m experimenting with different low difficulty solo pools. Jingle Miner currently recommends: pool.axeminer.com pool.solomining.de pool.sethforprivacy.com AxeMiner even has a dedicated low difficulty port for USB miners and I can see other JingleMiners connected there. For anyone running a NerdMiner, JingleMiner or similar tiny lottery miner: Which Bitcoin solo pool have you had the best experience with, and why? Stability? Low difficulty shares? Latency? Trust? #asknostr #bitcoin #mining #solomining

As I spend more time on Nostr, I keep discovering something new. Different clients, relays, zaps, signers, long form publishing, search tools… and somehow I keep finding something new every day. That is probably what I enjoy most about it so far. What is one Nostr app, tool or feature you think more people should know about? #asknostr #nostr

What is one thing you wish someone had told you when you first joined Nostr? I’m still learning my way around different clients, relays, zaps and communities, and I’m curious what experienced users learned the hard way. #asknostr #nostr

Anyone here still CPU mining in 2026? What are you mining, which algorithm are you using, and why did you choose it? I’m currently experimenting with my own CPU mining software and I’m curious what others are still running. #asknostr #mining #cpumining

I am continuing to develop and test my own CPU mining software, CPU Miner Lab. Right now I am testing the Power2b algorithm on MicroBitcoin after making some new updates. The miner is submitting real shares to the pool, and this is not the first successful test. With this setup, I have already found 6 solo blocks on the pool and received the mining rewards. Today’s test: 6 CPU threads 572.6 H/s locally 30 accepted shares 0 rejected shares Worker visible on the pool 6 solo blocks found in previous runs The interface is in Turkish because I originally built the software for my own use. Now I am making updates, testing again, watching the results and learning something new with every run. Building the miner is one thing. Watching your own code actually find blocks is something completely different. 😄 #Mining #CPUMining #MicroBitcoin #Power2b #Bitcoin #BuildInPublic #Nostr

Bitcoin mining keeps teaching me the same lesson in different ways. Hashrate matters. Efficiency matters. Pool choice matters. But sometimes, especially in solo mining, luck still has the final word. You can optimize everything, watch accepted shares come in and still wait for that one block. That uncertainty is frustrating, but it is also what makes mining interesting to me. Every test teaches me something new about Bitcoin, probability and patience. #Bitcoin #Mining #SoloMining #BitcoinMining

Building SkySigner has been a real learning process for me. Sometimes I move forward, sometimes I realize something is wrong and go back. Then I understand the problem a little better and move forward again. Every bug, every failed test and every small improvement teaches me something new about Nostr, signing and security. It may look like one step forward and one step back, but I can clearly see that I am improving along the way. That is probably the best part of building something yourself. #Nostr #SkySigner #BuildInPublic #LearningByBuilding

A question for Nostr users and developers. When using an external signer, what do you actually prefer? Would you rather approve every single action, or give a trusted client permission once and only be asked again for sensitive actions? I’m experimenting with this while building SkySigner, and I’m starting to think that good permission design may be just as important as keeping the private key separate. Curious how others handle this. #Nostr #NIP46 #NIP55 #SkySigner #Bitcoin

My NIP 05 address skylords@nostrcheck.me suddenly started showing as invalid today. At first I thought I had broken something in my signer or profile metadata. Then I checked the service itself and found that nostrcheck.me is currently returning a Cloudflare 522 host error. So the problem was not my key, my client or SkySigner. It was simply the server behind the NIP 05 service. A small reminder to check the simple things first. #Nostr #NIP05 #SkySigner

CPU mining is mostly about patience, experimentation and a little bit of luck. I built my own Power2b CPU miner and managed to find multiple solo MicroBitcoin blocks with it. Seeing a block found by software I built myself feels very different from simply running an existing miner. ⛏️ Build. Test. Mine. Repeat. #BitcoinMining #CPUMining #MicroBitcoin #Mining

While building my own Nostr signer, I realized something interesting: Signing events is only one part of the problem. A good signer also needs clear permissions, predictable authorization and a way to avoid asking the user for approval over and over again. That’s what I’m experimenting with in SkySigner. 🔐 Keep the key separate. Keep the user in control. #Nostr #NIP55 #NIP46 #Bitcoin

I’m starting a small Lightning experiment: Instead of buying sats for it, I want to earn them through participation and eventually use those sats to open my first real Lightning channel. The goal isn’t profit at first. I want to learn channels, liquidity, fees and rebalancing by actually using Lightning. ⚡ One step at a time. #Bitcoin #Lightning #Nostr
