Are Nostr and torrents a match made in heaven? Cause it seems like they are.

Any ideas why my eden and puravida nostr land relays aren't working for me, #[0]?

The new NostrGram tool for showing which relays a note is seen at is very handy. I'm definitely having relay problems, but I'm not sure what to do about it. I have 5 paid relays, and nostr wine is the only one working for me. wss://nostr.wine wss://nostr.milou.lol wss://eden.nostr.land wss://relay.orangepill.dev wss://bitcoiner.social wss://puravida.nostr.land I downloaded my complete note history from NostrGram (another cool tool!), but I don't know how to rebroadcast it to make sure it is available across all of my paid relays, or to new paid relays that I will join in the future. This seems like a critical piece of owning your own data. Any suggestions or tips for why these paid relays may not be working for me before I start reaching out to the relay operators?

Unfortunately, the nature of social networks tends to create a kind of gravitational pull for people to engage most eagerly on accounts that have the most followers. If you engage smartly on a note posted by a popular account, rather than just post on your own account, your reach can be hugely magnified. Same goes for posting a thoughtful response to an account with low followers - instead you save your valuable reply for a similar note posted by a popular account. But what if there were some way to incentivize a decentralizing engagement pattern to counter this naturally centralizing one? What if people were somehow rewarded for engaging with under-discovered small accounts that have the potential to become popular accounts? Possible solutions? Maybe the simple social dynamics of having more quality interactions with small accounts is the only solution that's possible or necessary here. But maybe there are creative incentives that can be designed in at the client or protocol level. For example. What if notes were "collected" by the highest zapper. This would incentivize you to go out and find cool notes from under-discovered accounts and scoop up cool collectibles at bargain prices.

The many becoming the one. #Bitcoin

Switching my lightning address back to ln tips for now to give poor old wos a breather.🤣

#[0] zap fees are high! I'm consistently getting 1 sat fee per 100 sats sent. That's 1% or 10,000 ppm!

WoS zap test successful! Nice work, #[0]! Dying to see data over the coming year about overall zap usage. How many zaps per day? How many sats zapped per day? How many daily active zappers? What are the most zapped accounts and notes? Who are the most generous public zappers? How many zaps are actually settled over the lightning network?
