I am so curated when I am in Nostr. I don't know why; there is something special here. The community is so intelligent and wise. I don't think there is a replacement for Nostr.

I am so sad to say that we found a new leaking part from a non-fixed part of my roof with the heavy rains yesterday. I feel bad for asking for help continuously here, but it should be fixed soon, and I am helpless at the moment. With this situation it got disrupted for my #Nostr and #Bitcoin adoption and spreading work, as we have to remove water when it rains while being there. Your every small zap is very precious for me at the moment. Also your repost. If you think I deserve it, please help me with a zap to help me proceed with my work on Nostr. Thank you everyone! @Jurjen de Vries, @rabble , @Tomek ⚑ K, @npub1suwx...rlxf, @npub1zqca...uza5 and #Nostr community.

Some days ago my Google Pixel 5 phone started restarting continuously. But the phone is not starting after the logo screen. Currently using an iPhone 7 that can't install @primal or @Damus. I am worried that I can't use Nostr with it and I can't get @Pokey notifications. But I will buy a phone with saving money soon. Because I need to get in touch with Nostr as before. Now I am just available there when I am with my PC. :-)

View quoted note β†’ ================================== #9 πŸ› οΈ Tools, Updates and Releases ================================== 1. Coracle - 0.6.18 Coracle is a web-based Nostr client that explores what makes Nostr unique, offering advanced relay selection, web-of-trust moderation, privacy protection, and content recommendations. In this version, Coracle improves UX with a tooltip on the Bunker login QR code, fixes initial note creation bugs, improves NIP-05 validation, and allows viewing of raw profile JSON. These updates refine the experience for privacy-conscious users who value fine-grained control over their Nostr interactions. Developed by: @hodlbod, Lucas Klasa Source: 2. Yana - v0.17.0 Yana (Yet Another Nostr Application) is a multi-platform, community-driven Nostr client designed for better performance on older devices and built around a true FOSS spirit.

It also fixes issues with thread comment sorting, link display, and profile protection, while improving notifier authentication by switching from Bunker URLs to relay claims. These updates enhance usability and real-time communication in group-centric Nostr spaces. Developed by: @hodlbod Source: 4.

================== Roof Repair Update ================== Hello, I am so glad to say that we started to fix another part of my house roof with the help of this generous community. In the video you could see how dangerous it was too. @Tomek ⚑ K, @npub1suwx...rlxf, and @npub1zqca...uza5, your contribution to my @Geyser project is going to this part. I am doing this part because of you, and I really appreciate your help. I just have less than 3 months to repair other parts, as those parts are also too dangerous like this. I hope you all will help me to reach my target by at least reposting this note. I have to find a lot more. My Geyser project is below if you are interested in contributing to help my #Nostr and #Bitcoin spreading effort be comfortable under a safe shelter. @rabble, @Jurjen de Vries, @Tomek ⚑ K, @npub1suwx...rlxf, @Yaël, @jack, @ODELL, @Gigi, @Derek Ross, @npub1zqca...uza5 and #NostrCommunity.

I am fundraising for repairing my roof while doing nice things for the #Nostr and #bitcoin communities. I have done a small part of fixing with some funding from the Geyser and Nostr communities. But according to the fixers, other parts of the roof won't last more than 3 months more. My funds are finished now. I hope this community will help me to reach my goal and live happily with my family while spreading Nostr and Bitcoin. Thank you, everyone! Received sats : 607,982 sats Goal : 1,880,743 sats
