I wish we regularly had @npub1w69y...zltw on Nostr, would be good thought leadership combo with @ODELL 
UNCLE HAS SPOKEN SATS IT IS 🫂

1 cent = 10 sats
Doesn't get better than this.
Well actually only 1 cent = 1 sat is better.
GM ☕💜
We are WINNING, Uncle 🫂
What's this "cent" you keep talking about? 😁
Truth, Uncle ❤️🔥🤘
it’s disappointing so many bitcoiners use x more than nostr
1) Remove X from home screen.
2) Replace with Nostr client.
Agree...
But Nostr is just too difficult to use.
I try, but I get so little reactions to anything that it feels like a shore to post on here.
I only use Grok from X.
I'm a real Nostrich bitcoiner 😎💪
They're into Bitcoin for different reasons than they're portraying. I think it's that simple.
In it for the tech? They'd use Nostr.
In it for the revolution? They'd use Nostr.
In it for NgU? There's no reason to use Nostr.
Odell is too busy shilling giving your bitcoin to his fiat partner jack mallers
And fuck the clowns on x
They are gay bro 😎
Gm Uncle
Totally agree
Consistency is crucial
They are not bitcoiners
They are clowns
Let’s be clear
Everyone starts using Nostr at the time they deserve.
I don't miss X.
Any Bitcoiner that doesn't use Nostr.
Probably they are not true bitcoiners, I don't know.
I don't make the rules 😂
😂🫂 How's the negotiation going with BTC Media about doing the Bitcoin world record transactions at the Nostr Lounge?
They'd have to use bitcoin for that to happen.
I wasn't into lightning until nostr
I believe it. In the early days, I had 100s of Bitcoiners DMing me about setting up a Lightning node, or having a node and never opening a channel, or which custodial wallet to use. I was shocked. Shocked! That's one of the reasons why Nostr is so important for Bitcoiners. It allows them to stop just talking and actually get involved with what they've been preaching about. Using Bitcoin isn't just a once a year event at some conference or meetup. We use it every damn day and all day long here. Let's go.
Network effects are difficult to overcome.
Autists are stuck in their ways
I dont have much money so I put some sats in lighting after 6 mouth move to onchain avoiding fees.
Is Dan Held here? 👀
Case in point.
I post because I like to be social. It's the same as if we're hanging out IRL. I like to talk, dammit. I like to have fun, dammit.
Can they really call themselves bitcoiners if they are not on and using nostr? “But muH reach” and “I make money on X”… yeah they make fiat… yes I can understand using it to make a profit, but why not do both equally and at least making real money on Nostr doesn’t require a middleman
Shhh don't give him ideas
Xitter is helluva drug
At least the good ones are here
You literally need to be on x 24/7 replying to all the comments on your posts to make any sort or real money lol
Parker does not think nostr is important. What he does not realize, it's just as important as Bitcoin. You cannot transmit value if you can't communicate the address, in an apocalyptic scenario
Are they really bitcoiners, then?
However this thread that we started ends... I think we can all agree that Reddit is a hell hole and all of us that managed to escape it are better for it 🙏 (looking at you @Derek Ross)
They forced me out 😂
Never had X on my home screen to begin with. Amethyst only 🫡
Whats ngu?
Probably due to the lack of easy gif search in most clients 😏
How / why do you compete with something else while also having the same features?
UI?
🤣
What are you even saying 😂
Algorithms.... Feed your monkey brain 🧠
Never trust anyone who uses "ppl" ( sic ) because it means he types with two thumbs and hasn't really learned about technology other than it's something you pay for.
X is way better than Nostr, that's why. And there is no demand here for any wide variety of content and barely any engagement.
You curate your own feed here. Yeah okay adding followers might be a bit of a pain at the moment but if you want the same mind numbing algorithms stick to Meta or X
And algos twitter has...
Sigj.
By implementing the features everybody wants and uses those other apps for but improving upon censorship and shadow banning….? The censorship resistance is this products USP.
In such case they should definitely be using USD and give up on this Bitcoin thing.
The only thing X has on nostr is the network effect if you ask me. That's why a lot of the people are still there. They have cultivated giant followings. Otherwise it's a hell hole.
Ask Elon to join Nostr.
Actually, I kinda hate this about Nostr, but since I don't really like doom scrolling or being fed hyperbolic videos harvested somehow from TikTok or stupid ads, this is such a better place.
And algorithms? I guess certain clients could certainly draw people in with that kind of crap if that's what they want.
Says the owner of..get this.."front run tech"
Ironic 🤦🏼🤣
The X algorithms are designed to find content that generates an emotional response in you. On X when you say something retarded everyone jumps in to call you out.
On Nostr we curate our own feed. If you say something retarded, we tend to just ignore it.
There's no problem with Nostr engagement.
What he said 👆
What specific features do you think set X apart from Nostr? #asknostur
Also 'Pro trader' huge red flag
people
🤟🏴☠️💜
Nice to meet you jordan 🤝😉
Had no problem using cents and dollars, sats and btc seem pretty natural
If you are looking for content, demand or engagement, you are already setting yourself up for failure
In my view:
1 Bitcoin will always equal 1/21,000,000 of the total network.
1 Sat will always be the smallest unit of measure on the Bitcoin network.
However 1 Bitcoin will not always equal 100,000,000 SATs. As value per Bitcoin intensifies, 1 Bitcoin will be subdivided further and the new smaller units will then be considered SATs.
I use Nostr much more frequently than I ever did Twitter or X.
Engage more and be someone engage worthy.
Definitely a lack of the celebrities, tiktok dances, and insta girls / of girls selling sexual thirst. This is a quiet period before the arrival of all that. It'll be inevitable.
That which centralized platforms giveth, centealized platforms can taketh away.
Bitcoiners still using X, probably still have a bank account and buy and keep their coins on exchanges too.
Getting permanently suspended from X forced Nostr only. More than that, it made me look at ALL centealized platforms—YouTube, Substack, etc—with caution. Looking for alternatives.
They’ll find out.
One way or another.
🤝
Yes if the people you follow only talk about nostr and bitcoin. Find the people who are talking about what else you care about. That is your work to do
There is no algo to do that for you, so nostr is proof of work
The vast majority of what I see on here has nothing to do w bitcoin and nostr itself fwiw
Same
Not me. 😀
We are too early.
Me too
Nostr is not an app, it’s a protocol. Primal is the client (app) I use to interact with nostr and it works just fine. If you want it to be the same as X, you might as well stay there. I like it here better.
Sats the standard 🤟😉⚡️ GM uncle
#Nostr is addictive.
Probably
Truth
A traveler approached a town, saw a man sitting on a bench outside.
“What are the people like in this town?” the traveler asked.
“What were the people like where you come from?” the man asked.
“Oh, they’re spiteful, petty, argumentative.”
“Yes. You’ll find they’re pretty much the same here,” the man replied.
Later another traveler approached the town, engaged the same man.
“What are the people like in this town?” this new traveler asked.
“What were the people like where you come from?” the man asked.
“Oh, they’re heartfelt, generous, wonderful.”
“Yes. You’ll find they’re pretty much the same here,” the man replied.
Maybe they're interested in things other than Bitcoin
I wish there was a news feature or way to access current events posts on NOSTR
💯
Most peoples ego has an insatiable desire for attention
Twitter sucks. But it's algo makes the rage bait endorphins flow. For a similar engagement on nostr requires YOU to put in the work. I barely use nostr, and I actually like it that way. I am #nostronly
Who cares the standard
View quoted note →
*for now
I want to add this though. Nostr is so much more than a twitter clone.
Is still at the "but who backs bitcoin?" Stage of general understanding...
That’s the way 🚀
Do the same with calories and joules, and you'll see that it can work.
Nostr as a protocol had to sacrifice the ability to implement many of those basic-expected features in order to provide a basis for the unique features that it does implement.
Consistent follower lists are not that hard to implement. It amounts to one NIP. It's getting everyone to agree that is the hard part.
1) Remove Amethyst from home screen
2) Replace with Yakihonne
To have such a choice speaks volumes for Nostr.
We could say the same about USDT zaps.
Not sure about that. USDT zaps are very complex as you are mixing two chains, two protocols and two layers. Client consistency can works in a single NIP as NIP-05 has proved.
I mean USDT over LN zaps (via taproot).
But zooming out, when new people come over I think not being able to delete posts in the same sense as Bluesky or X is a big one. Granted that screenshotting exists and things cache all that—but there is still a deleted-enough threshold that people expect.
Yes, and edit too. There's been a lot of debate on that. It's what motivated me to make did-nostr to fix some of these "paper cuts"
It has boggled my mind every day since day 1 that nostr identity is based on bitcoin taproot. Yet none of the clients use bitcoin taproot. Seems a waste and I dont quite understand why. There must be something deeper at play.
Beef is also up there! (as a non-American I'm amazed at the amount of posts about beef) Think I also need to widen who I follow.
It’s a odd one. Having kind0 events under a most-recent-overwrites logic is strange. Replaceable events in general I've never understood. Seems like a worst of both worlds situation.
That‘s so true. Nice analogy.
Seems to be an American man thing. I just find seeing a load of beef pics and comments about it dull. As I say, I'll have to broaden my follows!
It's working for all of us but not you? Sounds like user error.
I am guilty of still using X
I like the idea of using it to broadcast content on
But I don’t socialise on X at all
That’s much better on Nostr, a true capital allocation for the future
most of us don't want the same algos that Twitter has!
I don't understand the part about adding followers. How does someone add followers on any platform? Attract, yes, but add?
its disappointing so many bitcoiners pay with usd more than bitcoin and you shill jacks bitcoin usd loan bullshit.
Yes, for now. Hopefully it changes.
Is that a joke? If that's all people here think is missing from Nostr then Nostr isn't gonna make it.
What's ironic? That I'm on Nostr and can actually be objective about it right now?
Most people know this and agree with me. But there is a loud group of people that cannot handle an objective view on Nostr right now and they come out the woodworks with fluff bullshit.
Lol what?
What lol what
Which twitter... old twitter or X? Because those algos changed then in that switch AND again and again later.
True, I don't understand unintelligible bullshit.
Now that’s dumb. To proclaim something you don’t understand unintelligible bs
It is unintelligible bullshit. Being that they shouldn't stop using Bitcoin and won't stop using Bitcoin. A childish statement that makes no sense because they aren't "cool" and on Nostr like you are.
I dunno about using the words "only" and "network effect" in the same sentence.
Many times network effect is like 99% of the battle.
What do you care about and wish there was more of?
You’re here engaging pretty seriously homie.
But yeah go on with your bad self
Weird I thought you stated people were missing from Nostr. What point were you trying to make?
Yes. I do not mean to imply it's an insignificant difference.
Its insurmountable if all nostr is is a FOSS twitter clone, honestly.
But I also think is looking at Nostr the wrong way.
Twitter is like Television.
Nostr is like the internet
For years TV ran on the way it had and even though the internet had ways geeks could download TV shows and even some streaming here and there people still used their DVRs and cable etc.
But over time the internet ATE all that. It was not just a better way to do TV, it was a paradigm shift.
Nostr has this same potential in my humble opinion.
The Twitter like clone is really just a single proof of work application. People are developing new things on it that never existed before. See #safebox as a good example.
I think a Nostr 2.0 has this sort of potential, which means at least a few breaking changes (and many more non-breaking changes, but anyway you only need one breaking change to break it). @Mike Dilger ☑️ is keeping good track of this.
Nostr 1.0 I don't think can scale due to certain laws-of-physics walls it hits. A lot of smart people here are dedicating a lot of braincells to problems that are already solved—it's just that the solution would mean a breaking change and there is an understandable fear of that.
Nostr 1.0 is still great for B2B and other things where the problems Nostr 2.0 solves come less into play. But for what you speak of, I think there are a number of breaking changes that are necessary.
I don't see normal everyday folks complaining about 30day bans. Only non NPC characters care.
If this develops like bitcoin, we need at least another 10 years to see some normal people here ;-)
Do I really have to explain..🤦🏼
You obviously prefer the legacy tech over the cutting edge. #NOSTR is the front runner in my humble opinion.
By all means, be objective.. open discussion is paramount.
But.. you may wanna change the name of the company you own. 🤷🏼
There is plenty of demand here for a wide variety of content
Bring humans if you want engagement
You have to curate your feed if you don’t want that.
I NEVER scroll the “following” or “for you” feeds.
They try to murder your brain.
You can follow someone, then hit “follow all” posts (I have like 10 people I really like)
Only look at that feed. Pretty good signal
Sats the standard
It's critical that we continue to do so, because if the goal is adoption than just chatting with the existing crowd here on Nostr is not going to do anything to help bring more people in. It may be based on the profiles that I am following in my feed, but the VAST majority of content I see here is directly developer or Bitcoin related. It's a tiny sub-set of the content that we could see if 8 Billion people were constantly posting their entire lives on it. We know that is the goal, so we need to focus on steps and milestones needed to reach that goal.
If you're ok with your posts going to a centralized computer before being posted, fine, Xwitter will work.. You don't like that idea, fine, Nostr can help. It's not really a competition.. I like having options. Obviously, since you're posting on Nostr, you don't mind having options either.
No algorithms. No advertising. If that's what you think makes an app work, you're drowning in a debt based world while we are building a wealth based world. To each their own.
the choice of using an algo would be nice tbh
You are your own algo.
Thate the point kinda
You are your own algo..DVMs exist too.
Following.space
If you want an algorithm that controls what you see, that's up to you. I don't want to see them applied on any apps that I use.
Even as an option?
Why would I want someone else to control what I see on my feed?
To help you.
As long as you can see that the answer is subjective, it's fine. If I'm following thousands of profiles, I might want search algorithms that can help me narrow down my feed based on subject, or locale, or whatever criteria. But the use of such algorithms needs to be under my control, not turned on by default.

#memes_nostr_recap
All further subdivision will have to be external to the protocol, because everything in the bitcoin protocol is nothing but an integer, to soft fork in more subdivision we'd have to allocate a separate space in like the timestamp or something and mark it as a decimal. But it runs into its own problem because if the decimals add up to being more than a single satoshi combining a few txns, but the old network only sees the integers, it'll appear invalid because there are more sats than there should be in the UTXO. This would cause a hard fork.
in other words: The bitcoin network actually only sees satoshis, there is no 100,000,000 unit at the protocol level, and that's way harder to change than people think.
I'm not a developer so I don't know what is required to do this, but I think it may work by simply having all wallet balances (and any other aspects of the code required to remain functional) go up in unit count by 10.
Within the software we could add a zero to the definition of base units that make up a Bitcoin, and increase all current wallet Satoshi holdings by 10. Total network value remains the same, 1 Bitcoin is still 1/21,000,000th of the whole network, we just cut the smallest pieces even smaller to increase usability. 1 Bitcoin could equal 100,000,000,000,000,000 Sats one day, or even more. It's just more division.
Right now it's not a big deal because Satoshis are only 1/10th of a cent in value, but when they grow to approach or exceed dimes and dollars I think consensus will be found to update the base chain to continue allowing ease of use, likely within a decade IMO.
But you can’t do that because it’s just an integer. You’d necessarily be creating a hard fork
Do you have no understanding of how new tech, especially a network, works? The fact that I'm on it before 99.99% of people means I value owning an identity. But if people cannot be honest about the current state of the network and where it drastically needs to improve, then it simply won't eat the internet like everyone wants it to...But, yuh know, don't be muh front run tech because you said something objective about muhhh Nostr.
That sounds right. Likely a hard fork that's inevitable to remain functional and efficient as the price rises. Guess we'll see!
Oh wait, I don't have to be here!? I'm not forced to be here!? Woah that's new to me, if true...And now yall are saying people are "net negatives" if you actually say anything objective about Nostr. Give me a break. Go look at what you post and what I post and tell me I'm a "net negative" lmao. I'm here because I value owning an identity. Period. That's why.
Dude just try and enjoy life.
+1, we love you Jordan 🫂
