My main issue with nostr is that it seems like the people here are almost exclusively laser-eye maxis. When I want to reach those guys, I don’t need a special app: I just tweet on Twitter with carefully selected trigger keywords, and sure enough, one of them will screenshot it and post here and make sure all laser-eyes see it. Are there some non-laser-eyes here? Make yourself known in the comments!

I know you didn't. It was rhetorical. I'm just so excited.
I'm trying to understand those motives you say I am making assumptions about, but you seem to prefer to deflect rather than answer. So you are telling me there isn't financial motive? I'd like to understand what it is if it isn't that. You went from preaching sovereign ownership of crypto, decentralization, and freedom, to promoting centralize custodials, POS, and NFTs. That's a pretty big 180. From being on CT for years it seems strange that you would change your stance so drastically. PS I have no issue with ordinals.

Depends... what is a laser eyes person? The Nostr equivelant of a redditor?

What are you here for? Just curious
He won’t be interested. He’s only interested in trolling bitcoiners and will probably leave when he realizes he won’t be able to delete his terrible notes image
I legit have em cause I like em 😍 I do believe that Nostr & Btc are a good match to support each other in showcasing value4value and other decentralised communication apps. Only here on Nostr have I seen this play out as nicely as it does 🤟
My follows are mostly bitcoiners, so I don't have a lot of specific recommendations for you, but I did have some success searching for hashtags #ethereum to find @npub136vt...0qyr. Not sure if the #tron hashtag has really taken off, but maybe you can help 😂. Another strategy to apply is to actually log in with someone else's Nostr pubkey. You won't be able to post as them, but can see exactly what they see and maybe find better follows.
He’s a troll, but don’t trust me. You’ll see as such from himself. Welcome BTW! We are friendly, but don’t take too kindly to Bullshit. image
Can't help but notice your lack of total zaps on Nostr. This is what happens when you surround yourself with shitcoiners and minimalists. The mirror of bitcoin shows you what your followers think of you.

Laser eyes have a disconnect with reality

I came here when twitter rate limiting started a couple days ago since there were a few big accounts worth lurking through nitter. Saw it posted on hackernews. Not a "bitcoiner" or "maxi". It seems to share the problem of most crypto sycophant spaces that most of the software is built primarily by and for people already bought into crypto ideas and can't figure out how to not shove it in the face of everyone else. I assume having a curated set of relays would address some of it but there doesn't seem to be a good way to find them. The majority seem at best overlapped with the bitcoin nutcase community. that said there have been a few decent memes between soapbox sessions.

Cryptocurrency skeptic here I think almost all uses of blockchain have been scams, and that that the fervent behavior of the enthusiasts is akin to a religion. There are a few idealist among them, which I respect, though I don't share their libertarian anti-government politics So I dislike the current prevalent culture on Nostr But I really like the elegance of the protocol I'm trying to figure out if it is possible to use Nostr in a way that allows different groups to gather with more like-minded people, which is what Mastodon/ActivityPub is good at Currently I'm working on a project to help people pick relays to avoid topics they are not interested in
not laser-eyes! I'm intrigued with nostr as it relates to sharing event data - chat/twitter-esque is interesting but the underlying architecture and relay/filter capability is more interesting.

Probably. He's an intelligent guy.
Donner un sentiment, un regard ..est normal au lieu d'être frustré, laissez lui la possibilité de s'exprimer . Au regard des réponses, il y a souci quand même certaines qui ressemblent...En interactions humaines c'est normal...Par contre il y a un rejet flagrant sur certaines notes pour celui qui exprime son ressenti alors nostr est cool et communauté tels que l'étaient *WE are the Gods* du World Earth Calalog* 🤲je ferai mon possible d'inviter Stewart Brand pour sentir Nostr
Ou incapacité de créer un portefeuille ou les clés de plus il faut passer par Github, sur cette phase j'ai moi même rencontrer des bugs sur mes clés et mon portefeuille vient tout d'être créé mais d'équerre. Ceux sur lesquels depuis décembre étaient plus obnubilés par leurs propres projets sur nostr
Maybe use your Twitter reach to encourage more people to come here. Posting annoying notes purely to get engagement from us cult members adds no value. Be better fren.
Ai le sentiment des jours d'avoir un mixage de tous que je rebute après avoir exploré les outils de outils de Meta, Snapchat,...sauf Tik Tok aux vues de certaines notes venant des mêmes notriches ai peur pour eux car en danger pourtant tout est les mots usités
Aidez le peut-être pour la config d'un wallet? Je fus honteuse non contributive pour ceux de l'ombre les Devis 🙇‍♀️
C'est à ce niveau nous les Hommes ne sont pas égaux donc nécessité de mettre au niveau afin qu'il sent égal à tous 🤲

A moins de vouloir prendre nostr pour les outils de Méta (un drame pausible sur nous nos notes ..(l'occurance de mots utilisés, en soi, certaines curiosités ubuesques recurantes..) révèlent sont des signaux (maux)..je suivis puisque c'est ma came l'analyse des interactions humaines (une richesse ce terreau ) 💜🤲💭
I think udi gave up on freedom a long time ago in place of grifting to make a buck. To the extent that is was ever anything other than that in the first place
You should start a band called Udi and the Blowfish. I would buy your cds and vinyls using the lightning network.

I think maxis won’t mind you to fully express yourself. On the other hand, Scammers, con artists and marketers would rather prefer other popular platforms and newcoiners won’t understand what’s a maxi or a shitcoiner so you will have a hard time finding that diverse audience in here for the coming years. But we can talk about everything
I just want a high quality twitter alternative, damn. Been over BTC since I lost all of mine to Mt Gox in 2014

I’m here for being among those working hard to build future. I like this space because it’s rife with conceptual ideas put into practice by good people. Love being around you peeps. Learning a bunch! Keep on trucking. Happy 4th!
You may say what you want. I'm a freedom of speech absolutist and will support that right for you. But that includes my freedom to voice my disagreement with your statements and behavior.
True true. Was doing exchange arbitrage, though. So needed to have the coins on exchange for at least one leg of the transactions. The coins got stuck once they hit gox.
I don't do Bitcoin, let alone laser eyes . . 😂 I'm here because I run nothing but open source on all my devices and online ecosystems. I prefer a payment method that doesn't require electronic devices and/or a highly complex communications network. Goldbacks fit that bill, crypto doesn't.

Hey Udi, let's get this ball rolling. What would you say the state of bitcoin and it's community be like in a year 2054? Will there be oficial bitcoin religion by then? Thanks!

Hi I’m new here. I like bitcoin but not laser eye. Building decentralised telecommunication systems are as important as money itself.

Don't use Bitcoin. Don't think it's particularly useful for day 2 day usage compared to alternatives. Also think Vitalik is a pretty reasonable and intelligent dude, not a scammer. I'm testing out this platform, alongside lens and some others for now, as I do agree with the need for censorship resistant, decentralized social network less prone to whims of a singular figure(s).
Right here. I'm also looking for more people that aren't entirely focused on bitcoin, though I like bitcoin, I don't particularly want to talk about it and only it all the time.
The ethos of Nostr is the ethos of Bitcoin - that’s why there is so much overlap. #DecentralizeEverything

I don't think so, otherwisre he would've just referred to maxis. I think it might be somehow related being "laser-focused" or "sharply correct" or it maybe some Lightning related reference 🤔
No, they are just Bitcoin maxis. It was en vogue a year or two ago to change the eyes in your Twitter pic to laser eyes as a way of signaling being a Bitcoin person.
Yeah, I understand now. Low effort “dunks”. This is most of what twitter was. Hopefully these kinds of people that spout this nonsense get bored here and go back to twitter. and the productive people (no matter what they work on) come and stay on nostr.
I am here for all the non-blockchain parts of the nostr tech. I think blockchain will eventually be niche and that some kind of likelihood of trust will prevail. i.e. The people I trust say this will spend so good enough for me. You can get burnt sure, but completely trustless is impossible, everyone else may agree on a change to your detriment. So why not rely on trust to begin with and loose the speed and energy use problems of blockchains and proof of work?
