GM World, how's life, nostriches?

GM, maybe I need to build #gamestr too after #animestr is in a better state. Having a nostr based steam equivalent with no censorship is a good idea too

Animestr Needs a Logo As I'm not a skilled designer, I came up with a fun idea: a competition to design one. Design the logo for animestr, win 50,000 sats. # Rules Submissions must be original designs created by the entrant, ai submissions are allowed. Submissions should reflect anime, manga, and "weeb culture" elements while being creative, professional, and aligned with Animestr's identity as a fun, community-oriented platform. ## What to Submit A digital logo design file (PNG, webp, or SVG) along with a brief description (up to 200 words) explaining your concept and how it ties to Animestr's theme. **NSFW entries will be automatically disqualified.** ## Requirements: - Original work only; no copyrighted elements from existing anime/manga. Sorry, but I don't want to get sued - Designs must be scalable, high-resolution, and suitable for use on the *website*, future *apps*, and *merchandise*. - Include color variations if applicable. - By submitting, you grant Animestr a non-exclusive, perpetual license to use your design. Submission deadline: 2025-08-06 21:00 JST **How to Submit**: Send npub1wnanaunumzv96ll0cm5569uzjqn474yj24a559n2h8x3gk9d40rsjxl20f a DM on nostr, or email AnhernSarsalor@proton.me with the subject "Animestr Logo Contest." ## Judging Criteria: Entries will first be reviewed by me, npub1wnanaunumzv96ll0cm5569uzjqn474yj24a559n2h8x3gk9d40rsjxl20f , to select the top 5 designs based on overall quality, creativity, and relevance. The top 5 will then be put to a community vote via a poll on Animestr. - Voting Details: Anyone can vote, but each vote costs 100 sats to prevent Sybil attacks. - Voting Period: 2025-08-07 00:00 JST - 2025-08-09 21:00 JST ## Prizes - First Place: 50,000 sats for the design that receives the most community votes. - Creativity Bonus: An additional 25,000 sats if the design demonstrates particularly innovative or unique ideas, as determined by you from the top 5. - All submissions in the top 5 will receive a 1000 sats consolation prize --- Disclaimers: I am not responsible for lost entries, technical issues, or voting disputes.

nostrudel removed the ability to react with custom emojis a while back, but custom emojis are awesome. so I added them to animestr!

Is there no good lightning wallet that's self custodial? I don't want go run my own lightning node! #asknostr Zeus is so slow, it's completely useless in real life, nobody waits 2 minutes with their phone standing while the wallet loads. It's also prone to crashes. Misty breez performs OK, but it doesn't have a lightning address I can use, the minimum 100 sats doesn't work for nostr, and the fees are impossibly high. 40 sats fees on a 100 sats zap is crazy. Everything else I found is custodial, and some even require KYC

At the end of your journey, when you stand in front of the pearly gates to heaven, you won't be praised for how much money you made, nor for your the decisions to put your head in the sand during global tough times. But you may be praised for the family you created, for those whose experience in the mortal realm were enbrighted by your presence, and perhaps for those you helped towards the path of righteousness. Tough times are a test from the Lord to see how you handle them. Do what your heart most strongly guides you towards, it's a hard path, one that seems never ending and tough, but you mustn't stray, for that is closer to where the Lord wants you to go. The enemy's temptation is strong, the path is somewhat easier, and the rewards initially may seem never-ending, yet the price your soul pays is a heavy one that you may only recognize when it's too late.
