Relays are too confusing right now. We have to do better.

GM, I will start whitelisting pubkeys to wss://strfry.nostr-x.com this week. To get added to the waitlist: - Follow me - Reply to this note - Zap any amount This relay is streaming from a number of other large relays, and is consistently in the top 10 events per relay (currently #7). You can add it without being whitelisted to pull events, but you must be verified to publish. I will be experimenting as things evolve to provide the best possible experience. This is not a "paid" relay. The reason for requiring a zap is for verification purposes only. Lastly, I also run wss://rs.nostr-x.com which is a public relay. That relay is public, and only requires NIP-05 verification to publish. Does not stream events as it is running nostr-rs-relay (rust). #nostr #plebchain #relays

GM, let’s get after it 🔥 #plebchain

GM & PV - Focus on selflessness today #grownostr #plebchain

I like seeing replies in my feed, but dislike when someone goes on a "welcome"/Reply spree and dominates my feed.

Time is more scarce than we normally believe. Waiting for my flight after spending a week with my dad who was given 3-6 months on Wednesday. Tried to stay strong for my mom and also for my dad all week. I feel gutted, but also grateful. Don’t take a moment for granted. Not. A. Single. Moment. This is the lesson I’ve been gifted. Please take it seriously. Call your parents, love the people close to you harder. Let go of petty bullshit. You never know how much time you have left. 💜

GM, stand up for yourself today. #Nostr #PlebChain

“You know what I wanna mess with? The belief that I matter, you know? Regardless of what I do or don’t achieve. Or the belief that we all deserve to be loved, whether we’ve been hurt or maybe we’ve hurt someone else. Or what about the belief of hope? Yeah? That’s what I wanna mess with. Believing that things can get better. That I can get better. That we will get better. To believe in yourself. To believe in one another. That’s fundamental to being alive. If you can do that, if each of you can truly do that, can’t nobody rip that apart.” - Ted Lasso #plebchain

Having successfully built a for-profit business (manufacturing), my next act will be for people and not profit. #Bitcoin #Nostr #Plebchain

#[0]​ just saw you have a bounty up for pretty much this. Such a great concept with the potential to do good globally. Think of being able to send Sats to causes all over the world without friction, and follow the cause in real time. Will change fundraising forever. Will change everything forever. #Nostr #Bitcoin

Been really struggling to cope with finding out that my dad has

GM-PV, Spread Ruthless Optimism. #Bitcoin #Plebchain

Been really struggling to cope with finding out that my dad has terminal cancer. I’ve become somewhat of a relay for my family and colleagues (my dad and I own a business together) and it is rending my soul to pieces. I’ve been trying my hardest to distract myself with technical projects and learning, and feel called towards an idea born of personal pain and fueled by love. I would like to share this idea, to find out if it is cope or something real. I do not have all the skills necessary to build it myself, but in an era of Open Source Software nothing is out of reach. So here goes: The Elevator Pitch: CaringBridge + GoFundMe + #Nostr + ⚡️ = NostrBridge Connecting family and friends confronting hardships using #Nostr and #Bitcoin Goal: Create a Website / Nostr Client / Portal that makes it easy to spin up & manage private relays / lightning addresses (hosted or self-hosted). Making it super easy for anyone to be an administrator of the relay and verified w/ their keys. — With just that seed of an idea, you can begin to see the potential for good. We could connect people to a cause, verify the person who is running the relay, and be able to provide a way to transmit value to them on an open and permissionless system without anyone taking a cut. The cause could post up various things that need funding, or charities to help people express their love and support. Endless potential. Above all, it could connect people in a way that has never been possible until now. Enabling them to support each other without the need for a middleman. I could go on, but this note is long enough. If you made it to the end you get the gist of it….Let me know what you think. #Nostr #Bitcoin #Plebchain #Support #Love cc: #[8]

Ready to roll on the home lab public #Nostr relay. wss://rs.nostr-x.com Running through cloudflare tunnels, exposing zero ports and makes setup EZPZ. Writing a guide for the plebs. Making it super simple w/ portainer. The relay is running nostr-rs-relay and requires NIP-05 verification to publish. Server is massive overkill. Would appreciate some people connecting up so I can test data usage and system resources. #plebchain #relays
