Adding relays and their stability definitely needs to improve. I havnt got a clue how difficult a fix it is, but when your relays disappear for whatever reason (probably my fault tbh, but again no clue) then you have to remeber them, look them up/type them in, it's a bit of a pain in the arse. I love tinkering, playing with settings, going under the hood and I love that nostr builds and inovates so quickly, but the average newb at some point will get sick and walk away. Rather than this post being a negative winge, can I ask what are the major relay UX bottlenecks? And can I be a padantic guinea pig if any solutions are out their. #nostr #nostrdevs #nostrs-devs #asknostr #plebs #pleb #plebchain @YakiHonne

The young'n is at secondary school and what a croc of shit it is. He's a creative soul that loves maths and art equally, and loves to show his flare for the subjects. But at school if he doesn't adhere to there A4 1990s-esq print outs, their dogmatic lessons or their rigid methods, then apparently his take on things is no good, not time-worthy or even entertaining. Let kids be creative, let them stray from the prescribed, let them argue and discuss. Don't just parrot fashion feed them some material. Creativity, making mistakes, real word problems, fun and progress is what's needed. Don't even get me started on their strictness for no reason, reward system, incessant testing or their fingerprinting "cash" system. Parents evening is gonna be fun.

🎄 Day 3: Day 3: Relays Explained 📝 Any newbs wanting understand what Nostr is and how it works? #NostrAdvent2025 is a great place to start. 📚 Learn: Relays are lightweight servers that store and forward Nostr events. They don't own your data or control your account. You can use multiple relays for redundancy, and switch between them freely. Unlike traditional platforms, relays are interchangeable infrastructure, not gatekeepers. Your data remains yours regardless of which relay you use. 🟣 App of the Day: nostr.watch https://nostr.watch 👤 Person to Follow: npub1ymt2j3n8tesrlr0yhaheem6yyqmmwrr7actslurw6annls6vnrcslapxnz #NostrAdvent2025

Getting ever closer to actually publishing my first ever blog post. I can't believe this is me and I'm very much treating it as a mindset exercise rather than a deft piece of writing or a hot take. If I can publicly get something out there, that is my biggest hurdle, then hopefully it will develop in to something more substantial. #blogging #blogstr #plebchain

🎄 Day 2: Day 2: Public Key Cryptography 📝 I didn't have a clue what Nostr was 4 month ago, now I see my keys as a critical part of my online identity. Go nostr. 📚 Learn: Nostr uses public key cryptography to secure your identity. Your public key (npub) is your address on the network, while your private key (nsec) signs your messages. This cryptographic foundation means no central authority can ban or control your account. Your keys are your identity, and they work across every Nostr client. 🟣 App of the Day: damus.io

Second that. This place is refreshingly calming View quoted note →

Mint idea this. If my dad could do it, it's a winner. View quoted note →

I am so so close to a super fresh start in life. How it will look and what it will involve I havnt a clue, but the freshness is so nice. I am not a nieve "grass is always greener" kinda guy, but I am basking in my freedom for this short period of time while a dream up my options. If anyone has any advice (or actual job opportunities) that involve getting in to tech/privacy, chuck it at me. I'm all ears. #asknostr ##nostr #plebchain #nostrdevs #hedgehog

Hey @Fountain - new user here so please excuse the potential stupidity. I'm trying to listen to a live stream (I like my @NoGood ✌️ fix) but all it plays is the last podcast I was listening too. Been a few days now. Have I missed a setting toggle or something?
