Working on a little query / debug tool as I learn the nostr protocols check it out

If it’s not built on nostr, it’s a legacy platform.

#asknostr How many active daily users are there on Nostr, ballpark? Is it 1k, 10k, 100k?

Who is actively selling things on nostr via zaps? It doesn’t matter to me how much you are making or what you are selling I’m just looking for examples of the buying and selling of things via nostr

I watched 60 minutes with Utah Gov Cox “I do believe that social media is a cancer, and it is taking all of our worst impulses and putting them on steroids. It is driving us to division. It is driving us to hate.” I agree with him and I think Nostr is the only approach I’ve seen that has a chance of changing this.

Added some color to my homepage mossy.xyz - bitcoin-orange and nostr-purple :)

My home page on mossy.xyz is now my nostr feed! Lots left to do, lots of nips to explore, getting an art marketplace integrating, enabling zaps reactions and comments, providing some type of onboarding for non nostr users. But it was relatively easy to get this up and running, nostr is a very simple, beautiful protocol, it’s so satisfying compared to legacy social media, where I’m forced to either link to my content on their site or just replicate it.

Some new prints soon to be delivered to their new homes!

polo and pan last night at brooklyn storage house, really inspiring visuals, loved the minimal, clean, bright, simple - squares, circles, smooth transition, really inspiring and validating for me to see a big act align with this style that feels really natural to me 😍😍

Nostr is to social graph what bitcoin is to money

I feel bad for charlie kirk and his family, and I feel sad for the guy who killed him and his family, this is just pain all around.

I was hanging with so close friends this weekend and showed them nostr via primal, showed them zaps and described how you can just send money and that you own all the content you produce. It’s the first time I felt that excitement being the nerd friend in a long time, #nostr is something new

Another test post 🎉

My website nostr feed is live! @mossy.xyz

GM! I have been experimenting with interactive visuals, I really am excited about the idea of having a web integration where people can send zaps to interact, like they are “feeding” the simulation zaps to power it, just for fun. Im so curious from an engineering standpoint what it would take to wire the together. Basically, how could I create a web page that people can easily send zaps from and have the backend detect that in realtime and interact once it sees the zap. 🤔

For those heading to the desert, fuck your burn ☀️☀️☀️

I think one of the most shocking facts I have learned as I’ve educated myself on how money works is that banks create new money out of thin air. I knew that the government could do this but I didn’t know private banks could do this. When you buy a home with a mortgage and the bank pays the seller, that money is created out of nothing - it isn’t a matter of the bank taking other peoples deposits and using that to fund the mortgage. Think about that, private banks can just print money and then profit off the interest. And if they get in trouble because the mortgage payments start failing, they just transfer that debt to the public through a government bail out.
