Thank you for an incredible two weeks, Turkey. And for the best baklava in the solar system 🇹🇷🫡

This is literally the only thing that works though 😉 You cannot override your heuristics, only your environment. nostr:note1hp0s98mjggrw9mev760wrtr5pelw7ddxtz6zfk0ja4jpjar76udq4q5t42

Mastodon, Nostr, and Bluesky have each (unfortunately) predominantly attracted a specific subculture. Filter-bubble fragmentation. Threads by Instagram probably has the best bet at wide appeal. Classic Zuck too. And I hate it. We need open protocols to win this round.

How many Nostr users complaining about Bluesky know that #[0]​ is behind them both? Why do maxis see everything as a threat?

At this point I think it's fair to say that Nostr has been validated as a protocol. Clients and UX are also good. It feels like what we need now is diversity.

Any ideas why #[0] is showing my NIP05 as invalid? Seems to be working on other clients...

📖 In Math We Trust is five years old and a lot has changed since it was first published. I am about to start working on a second edition / follow-up to the book and would love to get input from the Nostr massive! What topics need to be included in a book about the future of money and trust? What did you believe five years ago that you have since changed your mind about? I'm also interested in finding a good Lightning-supported store that might stock physical copies for sale? Your input would be much appreciated 🙌 https://www.amazon.com/Math-We-Trust-Bitcoin-Cryptocurrency-ebook/dp/B07C7TPXMD

The longer your time horizon, the less your concern with daily price movement, the more peace you will have. Zoom out.

The greatest example of privacy, resolve, and early execution in history. Satoshi created Bitcoin, attracted the best minds to work with, didn’t shift a single Sat, and remains anonymous to this day. Heroism in its purest form 🫶

Feel like I'm doing relays wrong. Removing Damus relay seems to have cleared up some spam and I added one paid relay, but still don't feel like I fully understand the optimal setup (despite reading dev docs). Any opinions or resources, fam?

Made a post in Iris on web that isn’t showing in Damus (still shows on #[0]​ though). Iris also shows less followers than Damus (don’t care about numbers, but inconsistency is weird). What gives?

How many paid relays or will just one do? And more is better in general right?
