Im putting more and more time on nostr.
Which one is it 30 days or 12 months?
step 1: buy an android device
step 2: install #grapheneos
step 3: get a decent vpn
step 4: find an old computer, install #pfsense
step 5: find a decent paid service like #protonmail for your email needs
step 6: use #signal as much as you can and convert your friends
step 7: build your own small server and host as much as you can (your pic, your docs, your media)
step 8: delete all your social media and go #nostr only
By god if you can do all those things you are well on your way.
Suggestions? What am I missing?
LFG! 
NOSTR ONLY
Nostr only!
Welcome to the #NostrOnly club! It’s so much better on this side. 🫂⚡️🤙
Chad move, welcome sir
This is the way 🙌🏻👏🏻🤝
Bold decision. I'm still on X because of my other hobbies.
Having fun with Bitcoin is not everything😁
I'm not there yet...but I should be.
👏👏
Welcome. Hedge funder
The few. The bold.
Congratulations.. On my way!
How much are 97k followers worth?
Not as much as freedom.

Yesterday, I was thinging on the same move, but didn’t make it. Today? Maybe.
Nice work Jeff! Be the change in the world that you want to see
Takes some real balls to say goodbye to all that work
But it feels a lot like the idea of going “all in” on Bitcoin
When you see the value. It’s makes so much sense to do it!
We salute you! Fantastic!
U joined the club! Awesome
LFG DOC!!!
that's a big deal
We focus our energy on the world we want to see 🤝🫂

I made my nostr account when you said that you were not posting on X anymore. I need to see how the bull crab market continues
Here is how I would start from scratch to have the best private nostr device and experience. Time to level up npub!
Buy an unlocked pixel 7 or higher with cash
Flash with #Graphene OS
Download Tor browser
Download Obtainium
Add Orbot
Add Amber
Add Citrine
Add Amethyst
Add Minibits
Add Zeus
Add Oxchat
Add SimpleX
Add Robosats
Add NewPipe
Select all the apps to run through Orbot
Now set up your nostr profile

Turn on Citrine and add it to the outbox relay settings in Amethyst. Add trusted relays as they see everything you do.
View article →
To add a zapping wallet open Minibits and get a free LN Address and add a mint. Now paste your LN address into Amethyst in your nostr profile.
Once you have 100k sats open a self custodial LN channel with Zeus Wallet using their LSP.
You now have an anonymous device, running over Tor, with a nostr signing device on the phone, nostr running thru orbot vpn, with a nostr relay on the phone, with a privacy preserving wallet with no personal info attatched.
For private encrypted DM log into Oxchat using Amber.
You can host your own onion nostr relay and a SimpleX server using a DIY Start9 home setup.
For purchasing No KYC sats use Robosats.
For watching and downloading videos use NewPipe.
Use Freedom Tech to stay private & sovereign!

🫡 onward!
Nostr is decentralized but it’s still quite concentrated. I don’t find anywhere near the diversity of viewpoints and ideas from those posting here, as I do on the social media platforms. It can be quite an echo-chamber - even on the universal feed.
I understand and believe in the potential for it to become significantly diverse but it’s not there yet. Only when the left adopts it to argue with the right and the statist cucks come to fight the libertarians, will Nostr have truly succeeded.
So, hopefully, some of your critics and detractors will come on over to argue with you…

Only 3:
ProtonVPN
iVPN

All in from tomorrow too, but instead of deactivating my X account I'll pin a last post where to find me here on #Nostr. After all, it's not mainstream yet and people are not going to find you here without some help.
Congrats
Good. But the Twitter data has certainly not disappeared from their servers
I've been more and more disturbed by some of the posts I've seen on X.com recently so will follow your example. I'll probably use Nostr as my primary platform but will still call into Mastodon occassionally. I still find Nostr to be a bit too bitcoin intensive but this must change overtime.
Followed, and I did too! #Nostr
Glad to see you here. I’ve been following you on Twitter for quite a while and I’ve enjoyed your podcast appearances.
I just checked, there’s still at least 20 of you over there!
I dare say, this is better then the original.
only the start
I hope more persons do the same
and bring more
lol… hundreds of imposters and scammers, unfortunately
Yes. I liked those features.
Signal > Noise
Lots of noise.
🫡❤️
🔥ALL CAPS FOR THE WIN🔥
Came over to see where everyone went. Wasn’t dissatisfied. Need some good relays. What do you use?

@Derek Ross
If you load your nsec in damus you can use settings > first aid to fix, if you are on ios at least
When checking your profile on Damus I see you’re following 116 persons. On @primal it’s 0
Not sure what’s happening. You had 116 in Damus and now it’s just 2 😅
It’s such a common issue, this is why we built the tool! Cheers :)
Proton
You can try logging into Damus and using the first aid fix under settings.
Visit Nostr.watch to explore many relays that we have throughout the Nostr ecosystem.
Congratulations brother. Welcome to the #NostrOnly club.
The #NostrOnly movement is growing. We are the signal.
I did a thing today.
#Nostr is now my only social media account.

Thanks Derek.
I appreciate the good work you do here.
You're welcome and thank you sir.
yes, I wanna edit notes. I'm sure it will come eventually. I literally just write about this.
I did the same a months ago. I still look at the first 10 tweets or so once a day and it just reaffirms that this is the right move.
Twitter is ULTRA toxic. Every single post has a negative sentiment about something. It's a giant cesspool where everyone fights against everyone. This just can't be good for the human brain. It's a cortisol and adrenaline vending machine.
Here? Every post is "hey look guys, I build a cool thing, whaddaya think?"
Bull-crab memes will now ONLY be found on Nostr.
Good news… As of late-August, Dr. Bullcrab has morphed into Dr. Bull.
Congratulations! Welcome to the club. #freewill

You nuked your account 👀👀. Brave 👏🏼👏🏼 
Mullvad & Proton.
I use proton, seems fine. although I use all their stuff so it makes sense to use the vpn
Oh my gosh. Bolt move!!!
You are right. You don’t OWN any of those 10.000+ connections. Linkedin could take them from you any moment!!
Yeah but still Linkedin is a way to get leads and to know the background of people.
Do you think we could create a “Kind” or a NIP that helps us create a resume with career, jobs etc like Linkedin on Nostr?
I have the json format of a “linkedin profile”.
If I want to create a NIP called LinkedinNostrProfile so people can move their whole Linkedin profile to Nostr where can I propose that NIP? And how would I implement that?
I need to just load that json somewhere and use it in Nostr. Lateron I need to add to that profile so I need to store it in a database somewhere.
Yes.
🔥🔥
Been on here for a couple of weeks, just have you my first zap.
🍻
why pfsense vs openwrt?
Same, for a while now.
🫡 also deleted my x
depends on your level of knowledge or determination. there's not much pfsense can't do. you really want your wan on a VPN. can you do that with openwrt? Its been a VERY long time since I looked at it.
One year ago I did a thing... I deleted my final centralized social media account (Twitter/X).
Today, I have no regrets.
One year from today, I may be off of social media completely.
