"Users of Nostr know the feeling of this weight being lifted. Nostr is anything but polished, but that's part of the charm."
(Excerpt from "A Vision for Nostr" by hodlbod (npub1jlr…ynqn) . Full blog post linked below. Recommended read.)
Just published a new blog post in an attempt to describe my "Vision for Nostr". It's a long read, so get some coffee.

ryzizub (npub1eqm…hexk) Plebstr client adds ⚡zaps⚡ to their latest release in time for today’s #zapathon! 🥳This is a first version and they said they will be adding more features. You can see a video demo of their zaps UI here.
A quick video trying out #[0] zaps interface. Very clean and lots of useful options. You can create custom preset amounts or type in a custom amount. When paying a zap it will use your default wallet but you can swipe up into a wallet selector to use a different one if you like. Some of the display counts get a little crunched on my iPhone mini screen but overall I’m really liking this client. And the navigation between your feed, posts, replies, and back is so smooth and doesn’t cause you to lose your place. 💜💜💜nostr:nevent1qqsg8gr0ynuekm8kwxszhs70yl8qucqtvqpvwstrqw82wz76gaq3dssav8ddj
Wallet of Satoshi (npub1hcw…h9rq) ⚡zap⚡ count on Nostr is steadily increasing📈!
Alright nostriches some more data. Interestinglt it looks like zap count is increasing steadily overall (even without the spike from the zapathon!) which is great!

Vitor Pamplona (npub1gcx…nj5z) A Nostr Service where you can send leaked private 🔑keys🔑 to:
1. delete everything from those keys everywhere
2. watch for new posts from those keys and delete them as well, forever.
Hear me out: A Nostr Service where you can send leaked private keys to:
1. delete everything from those keys everywhere
2. watch for new posts from those keys and delete them as well, forever.
The main idea is to block attackers from using your keys.
The second idea is to let everyone know that their info can indeed be deleted at any time if a person gets your key. If you are using relays that accept deletion events, your Nostr content can be purged from existence.
Have your backups. Don't think relays will be there for you when this happens.
jb55 (npub1xts…kk5s) Happy 👧wife👧 happy life… jb55 pushes a new build that fixes one connection bug that’s really been “annoying the mrs” and gives video demo of latest updates and fixes in Damus TestFlight build 4.

It’s not often you see software updates with marital concerns in release notes 😂
miljan (npub16c0…6nvr) Primal allows you to easily "slip into another user's shoes" and see the network from their perspective.
A great way to discover Nostr content is to slip into another user's shoes and browse the network the way they see it.
Primal lets you do that: https://primal.net

NotBiebs (npub1vp8…npsw) shares a tool he created, LNURLpay.com , that allows you to pay any LNURL or Lightning Address with any app/wallet that can make lightning payments.
just realized that some people still don't know about https://www.lnurlpay.com/. i made it a while ago when people were complaining about not being able to pay LNURLs with Strike. it allows you to pay any LNURL or Lightning Address with any app that supports lightning payments.
Derek Ross (npub18am…p424) Are you using a new Samsung or Google Pixel phone? Derek shares a warning about a vulnerability that could allow an attacker to take over your device. Recommends disabling VoLTE and WiFi calling patched. See his post and the linked article for more info. 📞
If you have a new Samsung phone or Google Pixel phone, you should disable VoLTE and WiFi calling until your device is patched. Otherwise, attackers could take over your phone without you even knowing. Yikes. The latest March security bulletin that just rolled out for the Pixel 7 line fixes this, but the Pixel 6 line has not gotten the update, yet, but should soon. Samsung... 👀
