Working on the “edit invoice details” button for #[0] 
I want a two sided marketplace:
ME: I pay sats to run bespoke stable diffusion models that I can’t be bothered to install or don’t have the horsepower to run
THEM: gamer with a gpu that sits idle while they’re in class or sleeping
Probably a big deal. Not sure if the “adding domain-specific expertise to llm” or “make a conversational ui for any api” is the bigger deal, but a big deal either way.

Maybe it’s obvious but simple is so powerful.

Archived my nostr-rs repo and pointed it at https://github.com/rust-nostr/nostr. So grateful for the work by #[0] and others on that project. It’s a joy to use!
Looking for a simple to run relay impl for local testing. Any suggestions? Nostream seems nice but too much config. Trying out nostr-rs-relay rn.

I would love to see a survey in the style of 
for bitcoin.
How did you hear about bitcoin? What are your favorite podcasts? How many in-person bitcoin events have you attended? Do you self-custody? What wallet(s) do you use?
Would be really informative for where and how to focus educational efforts.

Stack Overflow Developer Survey 2022
In May 2022 over 70,000 developers told us how they learn and level up, which tools they’re using, and what they want.

My takeaway from nostrica: specialization and decommodification. The generic, naive thing doesn’t usually scale, so a specialized solution will likely win. Follower counts is a great example: a service that only counts followers is simple and small. Doing it naively is almost intractable already.
