I want to create exclusive long-form content for Nostr, I really do, but when I try to create my publication on highlighter, it just hangs... am I doing something wrong?

Speaking of WordPress plugins and specifically wrt Nostr, there is also the easynostr-nip05 plugin which turns your WP site into a NIP-05 endpoint (you can then use your local user accounts under your installation hostname as nip05 ids)
This is how I implement my markjr@bombthrower.com id. https://m.primal.net/NMlA.png

2024-12-31 15:55:54

Not a lot of people using it, but my bitcoin-blockheight plugin for WordPress broke (this is what I use to display the blockheight of the publication date on my Bombthrower posts)
There was a call to number_format() which wasn't typed to explicitly float which broke when PHP8 hit, sorry about that, all good now.
If this is the first you've heard about it, and run a WP site, check it out! https://m.primal.net/NMkT.png

I found it was somewhat of a necessity for me because that’s where I pick up news and signal for my newsletters faster than anywhere else.

It's the denominator, stupid:
Wrapping your head around Bitcoin’s inexorable rise.
The reason you think it's a bubble is because fiat debasement has hardwired your brain to look at it upside down 🙃

Funny you’re the second guy to mention Handshake to me this week. I’ve been keeping an eye on that for some time - I think the TLD land rush was a mistake
We were running an experimental resolver at easyDNS which resolves HNS and BNS (Stacks) domains but when I checked this week HNS resolution is busted. Need to fix.
Of course we’ve been involved in ENS since nearly the beginning but it was such a letdown to see them ditch PoW and everything else going on there
