I really should participate more on #nostr and social media in general. But I'm too comfortable just being a #lurker.

If everyone who isn't in lock-step agreement about a band is delusional, I'd assume everyone who doesn't agree with your political takes is a nazi. #discord #babymetal

I've had sub-10 followers on Twitter for over a decade, so it's always weird when I get a new one.

I've got an idea if anyone wants to steal it. A NIP07 extension that allow you connect a NIP46 signer and funnel all NIP07 requests to the remote signer. Because it seems like a lot of websites don't allow logging in with a remote signer. #nostr #nostrdev

I know I've railed against nip05 being just a Human Readable Identifier, but I've come to a bit of uneventful realization. nip05 IS just HRI. ActivityPub does it this way, Bluesky does it, and I'm sure many other social media ecosystems do it this way. I was just too damn stubborn to realize it. I'm now rectifying that, and have added a nip05 address. #nostr #alwayslearning

I now have a better understanding of @npub189j8...3tg8 filter. And with @mikedilger adding nip05 to the spam filter, I'll finally be able to filter out bridges from searches. If I had sats, I'd donate them. But I don't, so all I can give is my unending thanks.

I hate to admit defeat, but it does seem like on-chain bitcoin is the bank, and lightning is cash-on-hand. You win some you lose some. Have set up a primal wallet as a stop-gap until I can figure out how to get the ~3000 sats from an old castodial alby wallet when I don't have the money to open up a channel on alby hub. #nostr #bitcoin #lightning

Had my first instance of find nostr in the wild. Well, as "in the wild" as Metatron mentioning @DEG Mods on twitter can be. Didn't even know it was nostr-based until I went to the site and saw an npub address.

testing don't mind me

Don't mind me, just testing something.

The people who think #nostr is anything more than a twitter replacement are the same kind of people that think #ordinals on #bitcoin are a good idea.

Missing someone you hate and detest is a really weird feeling. Needless optimism at a retrospective is a hell of a thing. #feelngs #showerthoughts

I have a question for those knowledgeable about the more technical side of #bitcoin. Let's say 100 people are creating 100 simple, basic, person-to-person transactions. Is it possible for those transactions to be combined in transit? And if so, would the resulting transaction be more space-efficient than those 100 individual transactions? #asknostr #askbitcoin

Testing to see if gosip can write to my locally hosted relay.

Downloaded and compiled a test versin of @npub189j8...3tg8 to check out some of the features that @mikedilger has been working on. The inclusion of a global feed is a huge step forward. The ability to set what relay(s) constitute your global feed and the possibility of better curation tools will turn this feature into an absolute powerhouse. Add in hashtag support so we can see what people are congregating around, and DVM support things like custom trending algos and generally better discoverability, will make Gossip one of if not the best desktop nostr client. It's really looking like it will represent what I understand nostr is and what it should look like.

There's always a weird feeling when the final chapter of a #manga series you've been reading for years comes out. Even though there's "The End" on the last page, it's always the force of habbit the makes you look forward to the next chapter, even though there is no next chapter. It's even more profound when it's a monthly series, because breaking that habitual expectation takes longer. Thank you #TwinStarExorcists for the fun ride.

Another thing, #bitcoiners need to have a LOT more trust in #bitcoin as a technology. You are transacting in good faith and not setting the transaction fee so low the transaction never gets mined. There's no need to wait around for conformations outside the initial funding of your wallet, refilling your wallet when you fall below acceptable minimums, and transactions dealing with large amounts of bitcoin. I would not be surprised at all if most poeple have enough money in their bitcoin wallet that they don't need to worry about unconfirmed transactions. Seriously, how man people have been in a situation where they've HAD to wait for an incoming transaction to confirm because they NEEDED to make an outgoing transaction? Think about it for a moment.

I think most #bitcoin people forget that most traditional forms of payment outside cash have massive lag times between when a transaction is "authorized" and the money actually being payed out by the relevant institution. Hours and sometimes even days. Bitcoin on the other hand is lightning fast in comparison at as little as 10 minutes between a transaction being sent to the mempool (authorized) and that transaction being in a mined block (payed out).

I've said it once but I'll say it again, the arrogance of inevitability forgets the only inevitable thing in life is death. Seems to be a truth that #nostr has forgotten.

There, my pfp has been updated.
