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.
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.
📖 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 🙌
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?
