@Gigi great video π₯π₯π₯
why should a public and private relay keep your notes forever?
Unless you run your own relay, your notes are subject to never existing (deletion).
You got my attention & managed to harvest my eyeballs & a few brain cycles.
You also delivered value to me, so I sent you a small token of scarce value.
I love the way you think & talk sir.

Relays probably wonβt keep your notes forever. The point is that everyone has the power to download their content and send it to a new relay. Better backup/archival solutions will emerge.
Very true. If you want to make sure your older notes don't disappear you need to take it into your own hands.
Solutions like Nostr relay tray for desktop and citrine for Android are good local backup options. Haven relay is a good option if you have access to PC hardware or a VPS, and feel comfortable with configuring and hosting your own solution. If that is beyond your capabilities relay.tools has a good hosted option to run personal relays.
I'm sure I'm the future this will only get easier.
I have missed your strong signal dear sir! ππ§‘
Wake up, get βοΈ, get π€―. Forgot how π₯ nostr can be.
HAVEN is fantastic too.
I've got a post in drafts for tomorrow going into more detail, Haven is covered π―
AWESOME- Thanks
Awesome talk! Thank you π
What do you think about the fact that we currently canβt really delete posts? As I understand it the only thing users can do is ask relays to delete it but there is a lot of trust involved.
It gives people a good reason to be honest and sincere with their interactions and what they post, knowing that they are cryptographically signed proof of what they said and did. I think it's a feature, not a bug.
"It caters to your lowest self." Love this quote. GREAT listen.

Tbh I can actually see people zapping a car crash, let's say you had some sort of Nightcrawler-type account, or people restraining police chase helicopter footage. I think people would zap that, perhaps not us nor people who are currently here. But can definitely see it happening.

12. Discover Nostr Alternatives with #Noalt
Noalt is a platform that helps users discover nostr alternatives to major tech services. It was built by @Jurjen de Vries and it provides Nostr-based replacements for platforms like Twitter, Reddit, Instagram, Meetup etc, ensuring users maintain ownership of their accounts and data. Iβve (@Nomishka) had the amazing opportunity to contribute it by adding Nostr alternatives for Medium, Spotify and Quora, helping expand the directory of decentralized options. We are looking for more. If you have suggestions for more alternatives, feel free to share your input and help grow https://noalt.app/ into a valuable resource for the Nostr community!

Gigi its so good to have you back.
Your creations are inspiring. If it werenβt for you, I wouldnβt have taken the leap and reflected on the most important thing I should be working onβ¦which is helping people understand Bitcoin.
Thank you Gigi, thank you Aaron.

TBF he clarified in @No Solutions that sats can't be faked. That's the intent.
Nutzaps fixes this.
The sats are in the zap itself. Bearer token.
No receipt needed.
So if I run a mint and print some bearer tokens, you donβt want to know if they are exchangeable for sats?
Rug risk is different to fake zap receipts.
No solutions, only trade-offs.
Lolz. Pick your poison I guess.
Temporary fake. Depends on your redemption policy.
Correct.

Maybe they are not doing much besides passively watching short videos appealing to their lowest conscious aka "car crashes":

Thank you mate.
Tbh I donβt understand how to send Sats to my nostr-wallet, so I canβt zap.
So once again thank you.
Just zapped you, now you can zap people β‘

Did you watch the whole talk? I'm not talking about literal car crashes. It's a metaphor.
Insightful, optimistic, inspirational... 100% pure signal... although depending on who's in the car, I might zap a car crash. :)
