Depends on your client, in nostrudel you can add it to a specific note or make it true for all notes in settings.

Plenty of criticism of other platforms. Unfortunately nostr is full of people who simp for autocrats and billionaires for some reason.

If your notes have no proof-of-work, I'm just gonna assume you're a bot. And if they do, I'm gonna assume you're a rich bot. #nostr

#asknostr what is a great on-boarding resource for new users that isn't super heavy about mentioning Bitcoin? How do I get people from "twitter refugee" to "nostr user"

2024-07-14 23:49:07

#asknostr need a desktop (Linux) or browser nostr app which can schedule posts, which apps support this?

If we assume x number of events per day on the network, the more relays, the fewer events each relay needs to store. Text events are tiny, you can fit all of wikipedia's text on a DVD. If we integrate with other P2P networks like #IPFS, #Freenet, #Hyphanet, etc for storage of media, then space isn't much of a concern. Tor isn't needed, NAT punching protocols exist and are mature, plus IPv6.
Think of it this way: Can your phone store all the text from all your social media posts? What about all of your 10 closest friends? Yes? Then this can scale.
But you don't need to take my word for it, look at existing P2P technologies which have been doing this kind of routing for years. There's no need to centralize around relays.

People complain that "not everybody will run a relay", well, why is that? Because the architecture of the network and the UX of the software doesn't automatically do it for them. Why is running a relay not automatic when running a client? It could be. Every client could be a relay.

Custodial? Strike
Non-custodial? Zeus

#asknostr What do you use for "personal knowledge management" ie to track notes, diary, car maintenance, and other things you need to remember that are not calendar events? Does it work well? If you've tried other systems, why do you like this one better than others?

I have heard Koinly is one of the best out there, keep in mind they do not support #strike if you use strike.

Middle-ground between mute/block and follow. I have a few people I follow who post *constantly*. I want to see some of their stuff, not all of their stuff, and in proportion to the other people I follow.

Use Firefox. It's the only open-source browser run by a non-profit, not a for-profit and is the only significant alternative to the Google Chrome monopoly. If you want a web built on open standards, if you want more privacy, if you want to be able to use an adblocker, Firefox is the clear choice.

If you want an easy and awesome exchange/app to DCA through, use #Strike. If you want the lowest fees possible and maximum privacy, use #bisq or in-person purchasing options. I have a referral link for strike, DM me if you want it. IIRC it means I get $5 and you get $5 once you buy your first $50 of BTC. But I would suggest strike any day, it's simply the best.

The beauty of nostr is nobody can cancel you :) I'm offering to pay people 7500 sats to spread the word about #project2025 defeatproject2025.org https://njump.me/nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzq5v3pet86maxr4lrj2v0jvj44jeq574ypds5308cgat3awxm6t3kqyfhwumn8ghj7mmxve3ksctfdch8qatz9uq36amnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wvf5hgcm0d9hx2u3wwdhkx6tpdshsqgzlw8l3rsf3lkh50j27xvk3dfqr3c936gtkx3z9xd4lrtvx7yau6vpema38

It's good enough for large liquidity providers to lock up sats, it's good enough for me. Lightning is safe and works well.

2024-03-18 01:37:15

Can somebody confirm whether or not Cash App can send Bitcoin via lightning to a strike username? Or does it only support standard LN invoices?
#asknostr
#bitcoin
#lightningnetwork
#strike

2024-02-11 18:37:55

I've researched this but can't find good answers, hoping you nostriches can help me out. If I have phoenix wallet and want to accept lightning payments, can I go to receive and generate an invoice and have multiple people pay me with the same invoice? Can my phone be offline and then receive those payments when online, or does it have to be connected at the same second a user tries to pay me? If I have to be online, if I "swipe away" the app in Android, does having the "background service" running count as "online"? #asknostr

2024-02-09 01:42:50

I haven't put any thought into relays. Which ones do you use? Why? #asknostr

I would also add that one of Bitcoin's major strengths in relation to other potential currencies is its stable economic policy which people basically consider immutable. Bitcoin's fiscal policy is a fixed supply and being based around PoW. Look at Ethereum, they have changed fiscal policy several times, maybe that's a fine thing for a network which is built around making a distributed compute platform, but it's not a good thing for something which is designed to be the new global reserve currency. Changing any of these key things with Bitcoin could change the stability of that fiscal policy. If we open the door to fiscal policy changes, we lose a major item on Bitcoin's feature list.

IIRC your client stores a copy of them all, as do your relays, so it's just a matter of finding a client that supports making separate backups.

This is obnoxious gatekeeping. People will continue to use KYCed platforms until UX of #NoKYC platforms improves. If the UX there is better, people will have no motivation to use anything else. If Bitcoin is dependent on everybody being technologically savvy and interested enough to navigate a complex series of menus and understand how block timing works, we will never reach hyperbitcoinization.
