The #[0] Origin Story
by #[1]

December 14, 2022:
I used #[2] for the first time.
#[3] & #[4] gave me a warm welcome.

December 16, 2022:
I discovered #[5] and, naturally, asked it “can you write a joke about #nostr?”
#[7] responded:
Q: What do you call a nosy ostrich?
A: A nosTrich!

The joke wasn’t great, but you can’t blame a bot. Regardless, I loved the idea of a visual identity for nostr, and ostriches are cool birds. So I took to Midjourney and created The #Nostrich

December 17, 2022:
I created a new key pair for my purple ostrich creation and just like that, #[9] the Nostr Ostrich was born.
I set up a Twitter account as well to try and bring over more folks from the blue bird app > @Nostr_Ostrich

December 18, 2022
Only a day after The Nostrich was born, it faced the threat of censorship from Twitter with the policy change and attack on nostr promotion (which they later walked back).
Nostrich shared ostrich facts on Twitter to fly under the radar.

December 20, 2022:
#[10] proposed The Nostrich to be the official nostr mascot and logo.

#[11] tweets The Nostrich image.

#[12] was happy.

And the rest, as they say, is history.
