Realistically and mathematically are 2 distinctly different concepts :) Yeah, I know you were talking about how realistic it is, but that’s different than what’s possible mathematically.
Mathematically any number can be paid back, even if it was 999 trillion. Or any other number you can dream of. Is it realistic? It’s a different story. :)
All that’s to say is your content is amazing, and I’ll still keep watching. Your audience is growing, you’re reeling in a wider group of people who enjoy your content. Don’t change who you are or how you do your videos (delivery, production, etc)
Just be buttoned up about data you use and some word usage because that can diminish impact of the messaging you’re giving. :)

Hmmm, yeah, I'd say the summary is somewhat accurate. I'll address some of them.
1. This one is probably the only bullet point that I'd say it got totally wrong. 🙂 It's not tied to any Ethereum address you have. You get issued a new Ethereum address (which is relatively abstracted out), and no, there are no blockchain fees or anything described there. There's no censorship risk...the protocol is the protocol, and it's completely uncensored. Similar to nostr, at the client level, one can curate what they see.
2. This is accurate. I'm not sure what the technical requirements are to host a nostr relay, but I host a personal and private one on a mini PC with an N95 chip, so I'd imagine fairly low? I haven't looked into the requirements for a hub on Farcaster lately, but my vague recollection was that it is fairly high (like you'd need a powerful CPU, high RAM, LOTs of storage space, etc.)
3. Sort of accurate. There is a one-time fee to join (no annual fees) that is intended to add friction to spammers. I think it has helped keep the protocol relatively spam-free, but yeah, I would say it's a fair point. I read a couple of days ago they are going to sunset this within the next few months, but I didn't read the details, and I'm assuming there might be some asterisks involved.
4. True. To my knowledge, it cannot be forked, and yes, it's controlled by a small team. There is a bi-weekly dev call on Thursdays (which I suppose you can argue the fact one exists also highlights its centralization, haha). The protocol is mostly "raw," and those bi-weekly calls are intended more to talk about features for the flagship client, Warpcast, but protocol updates/changes do come up sometimes.
5. Frames are old...people have moved on to building mini-apps. Yeah, they do rely on external servers, but I feel like that's more decentralized than centralized?
Thanks for sharing -- it's helped me keep me intellectually honest and rethink some of my thoughts around Farcaster.
Even though I've got a busy professional and personal life, I try to maintain some sort of social media presence on the more notable decentralized platforms because I find a lot of value in self-sovereignty in data. From what I've seen so far, Farcaster has done the best job (albeit still imperfect) of finding that sweet spot of maintaining a relatively decentralized protocol at a relatively refined user experience. From what I've seen so far, Nostr is the most decentralized, but in some ways, that's also brought on some pain points. I'm not quite ready yet to submit a hypothesis yet though that you can't have the best of both worlds yet (full decentralization & optimal user experience).

I mentioned something similar regarding zaps to @npub18am…p424 last night and even wrote a quick article about my observations so far on Nostr in the ~60 days here earlier today that touched on that subject and some other observations I’ve had that pose challenges.
I like where your head is at regarding seeking capital from new sources, but I think the addressable market here is too small out of the gate for that to have much of an impact.
I don’t think the problems are unsolvable, but I think people have a propensity to gravitate towards one platform as their general social go-to, and Nostr’s UX lags significantly behind BlueSky and Farcaster, and their network effects are starting to take hold.
Those who want to preserve their social capital here have the highest incentive to help solve this with a sense of urgency. :)

Ah, OK, I think yours came with a better fan. The default settings seem to make it overheat...right now, I have it cranked just a tad lower and it's just fine, but it's more like in the 1.1 th/s
Kind of mulling getting a liquid cooling fan and then overclocking. The liquid cooling is probably overkill, so I think I could safely overclock at that point. Mostly for the learning/tinkering experience...I suppose that's why we all the things we do, right?

Totally unrelated, but maybe you can help shed some light! I just got a Bitaxe Gamma 601, and it seems like it runs into heating issues when I try to crank it up to hit 1.2 th/s. If I remember you had a pretty large fan on yours. I'm assuming you upgraded and you're happy with it? If you don't mine masking, what did you get?

Is anyone experiencing any issues with zapping on @damus ? Looks like some sort of invoice error.
Not working for me, but when I go to Alby Go to zap manually it works fine.
I tried disconnecting and reconnecting to my Alby Hub…seems to work OK at first then after a few zaps that go through the same issue comes up.

It’s one of those days where I had to sell my sats to buy one of these.
Anyone else drink these?
