Government decided no one needs 1/100 of a dollar.
Meanwhile Bitcoiners are fighting over what to call its fractions as it gets more valuable.

In urgent care cause a knife was sticking up from the garbage disposal when I was washing the dishes tonight.
Of course @nprofile…vg7m is trying to orange pill someone in this waiting room.
Too dizzy from blood loss to listen closely but I think he's convincing him.

I think so! It's not theoretical anymore. It feels like we're past arguing the ethos of ads. Instead, we should be innovating to find the best way to implement them here and support that model so the other types get rejected as spam.

It was really pushed on me. Not in that it was a conversation with a doctor. Nurses would ask and we would say no we're not doing that. Except we had to tell them several times a day before and after delivery. Nurses would come in my room and try to take my baby for the procedure assuming we just hadn't done it yet. It was really weird and eventually infuriating.

Literally. And they do zero prep to help their wives get pregnant. The quality of the sperm dictates the health of the embryo. Except who gets blamed for miscarriages? Women. When scientifically it's mainly in the quality of the sperm.
Even the health of the woman during pregnancy is dictated by the man's sperm. Like whether you get gestational diabetes.

Let all these young men find out they are the reason women aren't getting pregnant. I have so many friends who have gone through so much prodding and poking only for a year+ later doctors finally think to test their husband's sperm and realize they are the problem. The narrative needs to change and men need to start priotizing their reproductive health.

Tarrifs got Chinese propaganda going so hard on Tiktok right now.
Chinese manufacturers explaining how Americans can buy luxury goods from them directly. Others are offering services to help Americans shop in China for furniture and even (portable) homes. There is no beating the prices they're offering even with the tariffs.
Tons of videos like this too. What a way to onboard.
One day we'll make a similar video for Nostr adoption 😂 I believe in us.

so theoretically Nostr makes it easier for a small creator to sue bigger accounts who steal their content. yeah?
because we see the zaps they earned. we can say those zaps are mine, gimme. easy to prove who posted first. but who will be stuck having to enforce that? technology? government?
this guy is upset but not vengeful because he doesn't know how much money was just stolen from him. imagine once they all know. endless lawsuits once nostr is adopted by the majority.

#NorouzMobarak to all who celebrate! Yesterday we welcomed the first day of the Persian New Year (& first day of spring) at 9am here in Madiera.
I spent the morning with @nprofile…fky5 & the family then the afternoon walking around catching rainbows with the fine gentlemen of the @nprofile…n66j cohort 4.
All signals point to "1404" being the best year yet 🌈

This is #Nemesis', the Canadian singer, explaining it. Please watch.
She is very talented but was dropped by her label on October 8th last year. She was forced to become independent and has self-marketed on tiktok with great success. She is currently nominated for 3 Juno awards.

think of ads as promoted notes! you will be about to zap comment repost them just like any other note!

2025-03-06 18:24:24

- reply

love where your head is and we do have a plan for visualizing popularity. that's down the line and a little different than what you're describing but it's important to first note...
we believe in ending "following" people and instead just adding them to your contacts (like our old school physical address books!). then it won't matter how many people have you in their contacts, your reach is instead how many blocks or neighborhoods you've been added to.
so a person added to a lot of neighborhoods could be considered popular, rather than someone who is simply in a lot of people's contacts. a popular neighbor if you will...
I also think instead of finding profiles, on nextblock you'll find a few accounts of people you already know, hang out in their in neighborhoods and decide for yourself whether you even want to curate your own neighborhood.
also important to note...
we will have an opt in ad experience that lets you set the price for you attention/you get paid on Bitcoin to watch ads
if you hang out in someone else's neighborhood and an ad fires off, they will get a cut of your payout. a fee for the experience they've curated for you in their neighborhood.
we envision popular neighborhoods to QC the accounts they choose. they'll be financially incentivized to maintain the experience that people are coming for.
with this design and incentivized structure we think it will be less laborious to have an awesome feed of content from accounts you actually want to see.

the block/neighborhood/city/wilds design of @npub17vs…66ne is only half of it.
we will offer an opt-in ad experience. you set the price of your attention, 60 seconds of your time. advertisers set the highest price they are willing to pay someone to watch their ad.
we match people with ads every time there is a new block on the Bitcoin blockchain. you watch. you get paid.
we're testing this ✨revolutionary ad experience✨ via the proof of concept call 'billboard'.
people will be able to watch ads, earn money, and ~ help us raise money to build our social media app. ~ then we'll be able to launch nextblock social.

Oh no! Sorry for taking over your screens.

2025-03-06 08:51:24

- reply

ah! so we have blocks and neighborhoods.
your block is capped at 21 accounts. when you're done scrolling/strolling your block and catching up with their content, you can walk into your neighborhood that may show you more.
everyone has their own block and neighborhood, but also can jump into other people's neighborhoods. your block may be the only place you want to hang out. get in, have some fun, get out of the app and on with your life!
I'll note your customization request! we do want to replicate the real world experience and step out of what legacy social media has normalized.
specifically with ending "following" people and changing that to just adding them to your contacts (like our old school physical address books!). then it won't matter how many people have you in their contacts, your reach is how many blocks or neighborhoods you've been added to.

2025-03-05 17:11:46

- reply

oh that's an interesting customization. without an algorithm, I was expecting reposts to serve as the primary "safe" way to see new content. generally that's how I've been finding good creators on Nostr now.
you don't like reposts? or just reposts from certain people you follow? would they make the cut to get in your neighborhood?

2025-03-04 22:43:04

it takes a while to get the hang of things on here. gotta unlearn some bad habits we got on legacy social media. it gets fun! truly!

2025-03-04 22:41:11

- reply

we are working on one at @npub17vs…66ne! using intentional design of people and spaces.
you can go to your own block (top 21 profiles) or neighborhood or hop into different people's neighborhoods (curated list of profiles, no cap. this is different than your follow list).
if you were new to Nostr you'd visit a few popular neighborhoods and start having fun.
or you can go explore the city - hang out in districts (hashtags like #coffeechain) or intersections (two hashtags like #bitcoin & #grow).
you can go to the wilds and see the full Nostr feed but inside NextBlock the block/neighborhood/city should be enough to have fun for a few minutes on social media!
