Excellent point. I hope this becomes less of an issue as nostr goes mainstream, and for the record, I'm a bitcoin maxi

Reading the book I am amazed at the arrogance of Gavin and the big miners, who basically believed node operators were irrelevant.

You can repeatedly beg for sats but that will just piss everybody off. Beyond that, it's the wild west. It's up to you to figure out how to make sats (money) out of this chaos.

I've been on here one day. I felt just like you yesterday. It doesn't take long to get used to it and to realize it's not that complicated. Puck the client you're comfortable with and just hang around. I fund myself jumping around. In general, once you "log in" with your keys on one client, you're logged in everywhere

Thanks for this. I'm still wrapping my head around the notion that posting to one client is posting to all. I see you are a coder. I'm a tech ignorant retired lawyer. I suspect you won't be as baffled by all this!

Can someone explain to me the concept of relays and data storage. I'm a non techie who comes at this fron the bitcoin world, and I equate relays to nodes. Bitcoin nodes contain a copy of the entire "database", the blockchain. How is the content distributed among relays for storage?
