⚡️📅 DAY 300 - A battle to exist, a fight to prove oneself! 300 days and 300 nights fighting to prove that an information relay or content creator can actually make a living on Nostr. 300 days demonstrating that this protocol is not just a revolutionary idea, but a field where perseverance and consistency ultimately take root. I fought with a consistency and determination that I hope inspires those who follow me. These 300 days have not been smooth sailing. I have faced all kinds of challenges: underhanded intimidation, hacking attempts aimed at discouraging me, and even false promises of employment that turned out to be mirages. Each trial was a test, each challenge an opportunity to strengthen my resilience. And I carefully documented it all. Every step, every struggle is written down, time-stamped, and available on my @FLASH account. No secrets, no filters: my transparency is my strength, and my journey is there for anyone who wants to understand what it means to fight to exist on Nostr. Nothing has been deleted, nothing has been hidden. I arrived here as a complete stranger. No contacts, no special privileges, no well-connected friends on Nostr. At the time, it was mainly a hangout for developers who talked among themselves—I liked posts that I barely understood. Very quickly, I noticed that there were no serious news accounts. So I got started. It wasn't a spur-of-the-moment decision: I had already enjoyed my moments of glory on Facebook, Telegram, and Twitter, with several hundred million views combined. I had gained a lot of experience and came here with solid expertise. Starting from scratch, without algorithms, without advertising, without support, was a real challenge. But I compensated with hard work, rigor, and a determination that nothing and no one could extinguish. My work on Flash became a form of discipline, almost an art: that of endurance in a world where everyone gives up quickly. Yes, financially I earned very little. But I persevered, day after day, note after note, because I sincerely believe that Nostr represents the future—a free, human, and incorruptible space. 300 days is not the end. It is proof. Proof that even without resources, without sponsors, without algorithms, we can create something real. Nostr has never been a side project for me. For 300 days now, it has largely taken precedence over my "official" work—I think you can easily guess that from seeing the proof of work. Here are the figures ⤵︎ ➥ 15,800 notes and 9,621 interactions = 25,421 activity traces in total ➥ On average: 52.6 notes published per day ➥ That is 84.7 actions (notes + interactions) per day ➥ Approximately 2,400 hours devoted to Nostr over 300 days ➥ 3,860,425 sats earned in total, or 12,868 sats per day ➥ Which amounts to 1,608 sats per hour (~1.5€/hours) I take God as my witness : out of 15,800 notes, NOT A SINGLE one was automated. EVERYTHING was done by hand. Call me crazy, but I literally drained my phone battery, I could have filled up my storage if I hadn't deleted files regularly, and I repeated the same process more than 15,800 times—downloading each video manually, then posting it on Nostr. Because yes, one important detail: 99% of my notes are illustrated! NO automation could match the level of rigor and care I bring to this work. I'm too obsessive to ignore even the smallest detail. Thank you to everyone who supports me, who watches, who comments, who shares. You are the real energy behind Flash. Please excuse me, but it’s time for rest.
