Since I stopped running the relay project about a year ago I had been away from #nostr and came back this week inspired by the #GetAlbyHub work. It is amazing to see the growth here. But more importantly, the network effects are pretty solid from my POV.

If you are a user of the nostr.pinkanki.org relay, please be aware that I will be taking it offline at the end of November 2023. I am not able to find time to maintain it properly. Many others are doing amazing work in this space, why have another sluggish relay out there :)

#[0] did a great analysis of #[1] blog post https://fiatjaf.com/ab1127fb.html "Bluesky is a scam" - and as much as I hate to agree on this since it is work being done by a lot of people I follow and admire, I agree with the analysis. That is why I #Nostr
The area that I feel needs work is Identity on #Nostr - the decentralized approach brings some interesting challenges, but that will only bring additional innovation. Let's not waste the work done by DecentralizedIDFoundation e.g. https://identity.foundation/ion/

We need to find folks that have commonality with the #nostr mentality - DIY music (such as Punk Rock - a bit biased) is a perfect example. Trying to do this with with my other account - using hashtag #nostrpunx (using wavlake and zapstr.live) - if you have other passions, bring them to #Nostr and try to build a "separate community" this will help.

If you do not have the private key in a device that you own, or that device has been plugged in to a network where any other devices have access, you should make the assumption that key is comprised. Now, your play sats, that’s fine. Meaning you HODL so much you don’t mind losing those sats. I am cheap and hold only a few sats in my #[2] lightning wallet so I can #zap some #plebs.

I was just reading it and I agree. I think this can be “an upgrade “ to NIP-05 and like you said true verification. And probably still simpler than DID standard (based on my quick reading of keyoxide).

I have been thinking about music for awhile, and while listening to Rick Beato on his latest Vlog, I realized Nostr can be the missing piece that “local” radio had prior to 1996 - multiple music services (may provide a niche for a particular genre) act as the “local stations”. So many thoughts and possibilities…. This is very interesting. Thank you!

I think Nostr is a great way to publish transparent and honest journalism. Keep this in mind #[1]

I love what #[0] is doing, but c’mon… stack your sats and use them wisely.
BTW, any #nostriches doing a hangout during the Bitcoin & Lightning for Corporations event in Orlando May 1 - 4? I would love to get together with some nostriches in the area.

It depends on the rlays and how the clients handle the discovery. You are not dealing with a monolithic connection from 1 client to a set of servers that have the same data. Some relays may hold a different set of “followers” - Moral of the story, let's be less concerned about followers and likes, and rather provide content that acquires the most sats. The real metric in the Nostr ecosystem.

This is genius! Great work #[3] - this is the future of transparent and honest journalism. I am resending this note to all relays I am connected to (including my relay ). I think #nostr will be a powerful tool for True and Honest Journalism.

Yeah, I agree with all those options. Yet, how to do that without losing end-users? Maybe it just needs to be tried to see what is most effective. Maybe, Clients can take a cut of each Zap? Or…. Provide a way for advertisers to spread to a wider relay options for a fee? Any of these options will piss of someone for sure….

This is interesting, I have been thinking about this recently: How do we ensure that devs are funded in n Nostr. Bountys are a Interesting way of doing this, but not enough. Listening to #[0] this morning got me thinking on how to fund great developers in this ecosystem without the VC mentality? We need to protect folks like #[1] .

Also, the 1 sat may mean 1000 sats to others. The fact value is actively being shared in a free speech platform should make anyone excited.

It is an interesting perspective, but from my own financials and budget, it is pretty easy to see the impact on food prices to income. In the past 5 years I have had fairly steady income growth (although below inflation levels) and yet our total budget for food has increased at a faster rate. Now, I am lucky to be able to absorb this (it means stacking less sats), but many people can't.

And I completely agree. This is why I have been super bullish about #Nostr. Identity is part of the protocol where anonymity is the default. It helps disconnect Bitcoin from the identity conversation. And where the use case applies, Lightning is your friend.
