'Are we the baddies?' #Macron Sunglasses inside

Can anyone even see my nostr posts? It's like zero views here all the time since some nosr'tr client did a wipe. :( Catastrophic experience her zo'n nostr for years now.

Some stupid nostr app deleted all my followers. Don't know how. If I don't follow you, feel free to reply or like and I'll refollow you. Nostr needs better apps.

After a few years on nostr: I see little to no improvement. Super bad clients, unstable connection, relays are cra*, the NIP05 name thing is a disaster to work with (only one provider actually really works), and the feed is a chaotic mess of memes and old charts or ads for some gimmicks. If I post something real (like a tool or some insight / blogpost) it gets zero to 5 views/reactions at best. This is so dead. I can't understand how people in the bitcoin space keep raving about this complete failure of a network. (and yes, it had potential, but it's now nothing more than a glorified pub/sec key authenticator with bad implementations.

Is saying GM to everyone here still a thing or am I living in 2023?

So where are all the Belgian and Dutch people at over here?

It's a complex feeling I have about bitcoin right now. And I'm sure I'm not the only one feeling this love/hate relationship with the whole space. On the one hand you have bitcoin as a mathematical property, the network we all love for the scarcity and zo forth. We trust in that. We know it. On the other hand there's the real you, the daily you, the one that needs to take out the trash, talk with people, have some friendships, occupation, daily habits and get your stuff in order (however your situations is from struggling poor to mega rich in fiat terms). The question remains for me personally if bitcoin still helps me personally. I'm struggling just to see how I can navigate this all. As the connections I have with other bitcoiners is rather poor in quantity (but luckily good in quality). And yes, that's also in fiat-world, I know... but our expectations should be a more close community with the knowledge we have.

time to wind down the nostr posts, it's more dead here every day

Nostr feels so dead these days.

Is er eigenlijk ooit iemand veroordeeld geweest voor de Bit4You scam in België?

We have to invent a name for doing a 9 to 5 fiat job where one knows that the person can replace themselves by a few A.I prompts, but doesn't say anything until the hammer falls. #FiatYieldWork ? Anyone ?

I’ve reached a point in life where I’m just counting down the hours to escape the office and dive into building useful things with AI. Without nosebleed coworkers watching over my shoulder foe anything useful they could latch on to

Testing something before you release it to the public saves everyone a lot of time and energy. It's z decent thing to do when you're in software. In Bitcoin hardly any companies or builders do any decent testing. It poisoned the well, as many people are sick of the bad apps, unresponsive features, bugs and overal crappy experiences dumped on our head like it's the latest sh__coin. Instead of releasing 20 apps where 80% of things don't work, try to create, test and release something that's 95% done. And yes, there will always be small bugs, but no gaping holes and downright obvious pre-alpha stuff. Smze hoes for Bitcoin wallets, nostr apps and all these new tools being dumped on us... It also overwhelms the decent apps that do testing the right way as they het 'oveegroN' by the weeds of untested AI garbage.

TimeSeed.io is the way to delf-encrypt and sync passwords without any central authority. I made a quick start guide.

Encrypting anything is difficult for most average users. But even for more advanced users it's sometimes a challenge between complexity and security. Moet of them use private and public keys. I solved all of that with the multi level approach on timeseed.io One seed, no central sever, and secure cyphers on an easy to use interface. Can work offline and standalone.

Nostr has not one good client. What a sad state of affairs if devs can't even see that you need profile plus a USERname that just works as wallet and username at the same time. NiP05 providers 4/5 fail miserable at onboarding.
