I’m here because we need to take control of our own social data. The X Social Credit Score is on its way. #Bitcoin fixes this.

Welcome Simon! I appreciate all the orange pills you dispense on X
Hi Simon. Welcome to the de-centralised purple X version. Hope it's you and no fake account. Maybe you can confirm it on X or YouTube, so people who are still there, can confirm it here.
Welcome💜 Some great Nostr best practices include (imo); Always say GM, GA, GE, GN as often as you can to folks #zap more than you receive Be your authentic self, we enjoy that Enjoy your time here in the nostrverse P.S. Great to have you here. Def check out some co.'s here building on the Nostr protocol. In sure @Daniel Prince can show you a few.
👍👏👏👏 now Pls add your lightning payment (for zaps). That's a major portion of this new free and open global network!

Can’t zap you Simon you gotta setup your wallet
Nostr is not a platform. Of course it’s not perfect. It’s still being built by a community of developers and users. But what it isn’t is a centralized system run by a megalomaniac who can delete your existence on a whim. Weird to even have to point this out.
Gotta get your LN wallet set up so we can zap you, man! Tap the ⚡️ button on the bottom-center of the homepage to set it up image
Welcome! Here's a good starting place to get caught up 👇

Oh come on. Not this glowie ass thief. On X you gaslit me and others about doggie coin to steal my Celsius deposits. You're not gonna want to spend much time around me, believe it.
The normalization of monitoring and monetizing personal data is like a frog in a pot of warm water. We must be vigilant and not get complacent in ceding social data for convenience and participation in their platforms

I’m sure everyone did by the bankruptcy lawyers… it’s just non stop leeching of whatever is left of creditors money
Reformed from the KYC rugpull days of bnktothefuture? If so, congrats.
You didn’t set up your wallet . I try to zap you . To use wallet is to adopt lighting node wallet ecosystem which is good for the masses
if it wasn't for nostr, i'd not be on social media at all i ditched facebook in 2018 when they started injecting advertising every 5th post and when i learned that they were deliberately making my feed boring and repetitive because of how they had profiled me i never liked X but went on there for a while in 2022 and fortunately it quickly led me to nostr after the terra/luna/celsius/ftx controlled demolitions, never liked twitter, never liked any of this bullshit system we need nostr to coordinate our work outside of the control of the bankster controlled system, and build our path to surviving the inevitable catastrophe that will fall on this system through the many paths that converge on its destruction, nostr is helping us find our way to our citadels and refuges and hermitages
Admit that it took me a while to get set up. But. I believe that it is important to facilitate Lightning as well. To promote free market incentives To promote Lightning and BTC To help fund those building out Nostr image
I’m with you!! Time to regain power & control through decentralization

Welcome. Take control of your indentity. Nostr only?
Welcome to #Nostr ! image Suggestion to find whom to follow: Follow topics using hastags, click on this hashtag: #_rockclimbing, and you will have the option to follow it if using the right mobile or web browser client. A good one to follow is #_introductions and #_askNostr (remove the space after the hastag, I added a space to avoid spamming the community) Suggestion for Nostr Clients: Exclusive for Android: @Amethyst is an excellent choice, feature rich, supports privacy, tiktok like feeds, multi user, supports #Amber (more security), #TOR, private chats, excellent look and feel, it is ahead of most clients by far. Working for Android and iOS: @0xchat is a good alternative, more like Telegram, including chat groups, channels and voice and video calls, all encrypted e2e. It is powerful with privacy as well, it has secret chats and it supports Amber, #TOR in the settings "Use SOCKS proxy" (just install Orbot and in the settings be sure it allows background starts you don't need to have it running as VPN). It has a wallet built in and interesting features of its own. Exclusive for iOS: @Damus (users talk positive about this client, give it a try) Suggestion for Wallets: Depends on your technical level and how much time are you willing to spend understanding and setting them up: 1. The impatient with no time to waste and who doesn't care to use custodial wallets: Go for Wallet of Satoshi (https://www.walletofsatoshi.com/), add it to your profile, it doesn't have the NWC (network wallet connect) setup, but you really don't need it. When you try to zap someone, the wallet will open and the invoice will load, easy and setup free. You are set. (they don't work in USA, unless you use a VPN) You may try as well https://coinos.io @Mysterious Hamster , rich with features and web based, you can receive emails every time you are zapped too. Very cool wallet, the dev team rocks, they are doing the good work creating more Bitcoin awareness and helping businesses to accept it. It does support ecash and recently started to support #Bolt12, just missing #Amber support to be my favorite (it would make it optional to be non custodial) 2. The curious one with not much technical expertise but eager to learn: You have few options here to play that are interesting: 2.1. @Minibits (mobile app, you can buy from them your own address like yourname@minibits.cash BOLT11), the app is well polished, user friendly and the devs are hands on, responsive and active in the #Nostr community. 2.2. @Mysterious Hamster , they support #eCash, #Bolt11 and #Bolt12, so you can play here, just beware, you are signing with your own nsec, so for testing, make a new account and play around, that until they support Amber or a similar way to sign in, can't wait. Two good options to play and learn, all support #Cashu and #LN⚡, start learning about #Cashu, IMO a game changer for small payments. Sovereign app offers novelty features I consider a must have, wait until you learn about CLANs and the way sovereign does the recoveries, mind blowing... 3. The tech savvy 3.1 GetAlby running AlbyHub (a bit pricey unless you do all yourself, not my cup of tea, but people in the community loves them) 3.2 npub.cash - get your npub followed by @npub.cash and use it as your wallet address to receive anonymous private #LN payments and #cashu payments. You can pay in the wallet web site for a custom address as well (cool) 3.3 nuts.cash - same as above, just not an option to buy an address, meaning no #Bolt11 support Check my nostr site: https://rod.npub.pro You can get your own, give it a try, start writing! Subscribe to my free substack content: Last but not least: Enjoy Nostr!
Welcome Simon. Good to have you here. I feel you're right. You're now uncancellable too here, which is pretty incredible. Great protocol to build a presence on. image
Many were naive treating Elon as some type of saviour for Twitter
