What's a new Nostr client you've been liking lately?

It's been a while. What's new?

“How are you spending the last day of the year?” Me: Playing bitcoin games…Clinch to be specific https://m.primal.net/NMuk.mov

It might feel difficult at first but believe in yourself. You’re capable of a lot more than you think. - Lesson I learned this week.

Christmas vibes at my place already. Anyone else? 🤩

It feels good to build something meaningful.

I’m updating my list of Nostr clients. What else is built on Nostr? Send them my way 😊

This is so true! If your bitcoin wallet or Nostr client can work on a low-end phone, you’ll be able to reach more people. I feel not many people are putting themselves in the shoes of those living in the global south. nostr:note1qqqwd3xx6g7drnkuj4g69yrtc9wprdw28anvfzwvyrkafdxx9rmsdc22vf

We’re so excited about bitcoin getting closer to $100k mark. One thing I want to celebrate are all the bitcoin educators all over the world who have worked hard to teach more people about bitcoin. The people they taught and inspired are planting seeds in their communities and growing communities built on bitcoin. This is really exciting to me.

I can’t get over how lovely the beach was at El Zonte 🥰

I can’t believe the year is almost over!

I’ve been away from Nostr for a while and I noticed that there are some bots making comments. Funny thing is that there are 2 bots doing the same thing at the same time 😅

What are the characteristics of an open source dev? 🤔 I want to confirm something. My sister and I are having a conversation and she was describing things she likes and don’t like and everything screams open source dev.

I’m extremely sad today. I heard devastating news that a bitcoin gamer passed away. A lot of people — even those in the bitcoin space — know little or nothing about the world of bitcoin gaming. I guess that’s why the loss of nostr:npub1eccd56v0nruyv6ewefvnzz7rph7qjy9cvcmp8z6r35dchqwp53wst77r32 hurts so much. Only few people who have watched him do amazing work in bitcoin gaming would know the kind of gem the bitcoin gaming space has lost. This guy was one of the pro-bitcoin gamers. He literally floored a lot of us with his insanely high scores. Torrimen dabbled in several aspects of bitcoin gaming that even I wondered how he was able to do it all. He streamed bitcoin games on Twitch, Kick and Zap Stream. He hosted community tournaments for nostr:npub1earna05hx6ax38r33h3atmecjzdu547m8suw87w70aw6mlyga4hsqcja5j and hosted other community tournaments where he distributed bitcoin rewards to players who participated. This guy literally made a non-bitcoin game into a bitcoin-only affair that gathered people from different parts of the world together. He supported other bitcoin gamers by joining their live streams. He joined several of my live streams and kept the conversation fun and lively in the chat especially during my early days as a streamer. He created short video content centered on bitcoin gaming which were posted on Instagram, Twitter (X) and TikTok. He used simple tools and applications and churned out really creative short form videos. He was one of the very first set of Ambassadors for nostr:npub1hm63f02cer8w5jltne4cf2xeswf477lzday7zn0kszv0rwnyz4hqcmzr0p and was a guest on a bunch of THNDR’s tournaments. He saw some of the bitcoin games we know and love at their very early stages. He tested them and gave his feedback and contributed to the games as we see them today. He kept gaming communities on Discord active with interesting facts, jokes and just some good ol’ fun. And he did all of this without showing his face on videos or livestreams and without speaking much English. His contribution to bitcoin gaming was so great and it breaks my heart that he’s no longer with us. I wanted to share this note with you so you get to know what a gem we lost. But no matter how many of his great work I would share in this note, it won’t be enough to paint the picture of what he gave bitcoin gaming. Yes, he didn’t make any games, built a huge company, or raised millions of dollars for any startup. But as a creator, he showed us what’s possible. He showed us that there’s power in creativity and community. Only very few of us heard his voice or saw his face, but we felt his heart and his work gave us life. This is not Game Over, my friend. We will never forget you, Torrimen. Rest in peace. 🕊️

I’m more excited about the project I’m working on more than ever.

Does anyone know a place where artists can post their pictures or art and we can zap them? Is there a platform dedicated to artists?
