I’m digging all the animated avatars on here. Are people making these themselves? How can I make my own?

Thought for the day: If #Bitcoin fees become so high that the majority of everyday transactions can only be conducted on second layer networks like #Lightning and #Liquid, how will transaction fees alone be able to sustain miners once the payout for each block reward falls below the average transaction fee? 🤔

Hey #Nostr devs! This service lets anyone create a domain-based community on #Bluesky with each user getting a sub-domain handle:

GitHub

GitHub - mozzius/community-handles: community handles for bluesky

community handles for bluesky. Contribute to mozzius/community-handles development by creating an account on GitHub.

Would anyone be able to make it support NIP-05 as well so that the same sub-domain handle can be used on both services? I’ve tried to do it myself but my limited #JavaScript skills and zero experience with #React leave my stumped. Can you help? #NIP05

One major downside to #Nostr is that it is way too Bitcoiner heavy. It turns the average user away. It’s all people seem to talk about on here. #Bluesky is full of people who say they tried Nostr but didn’t like it because it was too crypto oriented. Irrational that may be, but it is a factor in its inability to build communities beyond crypto. Nostr is bigger than Bitcoin. It needs to be more welcoming and it will remain in niche.

Nostr’s biggest current limitation, compared to say #Bluesky, is its complexity. Bluesky is decentralized but the complexity of decentralization is hidden from the user. It has the ease of use of a centralized app, which is a major plus for mainstream adoption. Nostr needs to create better solutions for handling public/private keys. It also needs to make it seamless to move your message history from one relay to another. I want to be able to add my own relay and have the option to copy all my historic posts to it. Not just the new ones.

It's a strange experience jumping from #nostr to #bluesky to #twitter and back. Each feels completely different while many of the same people are present on all three.

I am trying to wean myself of Twitter, there is something irresistible about watching a “rapid unplanned dissasembly” from within.

Today I made a decision to scale back my #Twitter usage, and will no longer be a regular user. I have not deleted my Twitter account, but I have deleted the Twitter app from all my devices and will no longer be using Twitter except occasionally. I will not be responding to DMs or mentions. I am moving to Nostr and Bluesky full time. The community is smaller but it is more exciting place to focus my attention. Decentralized social media is the future, so that is where I want to be.

Once you’ve discovered #nostr, it’s mastodone.

Bobby McFerrin live improv is magic!

We need a #NOSTR #NIP that enables a client to download our entire event history from one relay, and upload it to another relay. This way if you are concerned that you will be deplatformed, you can easily migrate your chat history to a new relay. Or perhaps you setup a new private relay and want to upload your entire event history to it so you have a backup. Currently, as I understand it, a client cannot relay our past events from one relay to another.

Wow - so I am now running the #[0] client for #nostr on my #[1] server, in addition to the Nostr relay I was already running. Best of all this is all accessible from anywhere using Tailscale VPN. I now have a self-hosted permanent backup of my Nostr chat history. This is the future.

I've been a hardcore user of #Evernote since 2010 but I recently decided to take a look at #Notion and I must say, I am already considering making the switch permanent, simply for the page formatting system alone. I have not even started investigating what is possible with Notion databases yet.

I’m hoping I have finally got Zaps working on this thing. Can anyone try zapping me please!

Welcome #[0]​ to #Nostr. #DigiByte community on here grows by one! 😝

#Nostr needs a way to be able to let account owners to allocate a special signing key to third-parties to allow them to post to an account on behalf of the owner. It also needs an easy way for us to revoke this permission at a later date. This would allow multiple users to manage brand accounts. It would also allow online services to “tweet” to our accounts on our behalf us, (eg Goodreeads posting whenever you finish reading a book.)

#[0]​ Bug: if you update your profile pic or banner URL and accidentally include a space at the end, the URL is not recognised. You need to manually remove it.

#[0]​ Is support for multiple user accounts on the horizon?
