Sometimes in life you just FEEL in your core what the right thing to do is. I placed my bet on #nostr and that means I just quit my fiat job and decided to put all my energy into growing this community and ecosystem FULL-TIME(+)!! 
Seeing all the creativity, dedication and genius minds at #nostriga makes me want to be part of this even more. I don’t know where we’re going, but I know I wanna be here for the ride!
My plan? Let’s get decentralised CI/CD pipelines to Nostr!

Just set up #ngit and WOW the fundamentals of it are solid. Amazing backwards compatibility with legacy git services like GitHub! Happy to keep working with it!
Thanks @npub15qy…yejr for helping me out!

🧠🤯 Every other day great applications for NOSTR pop up in my mind.
When hiking the Pacific Crest Trail there's a lot of passing on crucial Information while on trail in the middle of nowhere. Water sources, Wildfires, other dangers...
What if we could pass along Nostr messages over Bluetooth when hikers are passing eachother and the first person to reach civilization publishes the notes to a relay. That 'd be sooo incredibly cool!!

👋 Time to leave the synthetic world behind for the coming 5 weeks and be in Nature. I'll be out hiking a good 800km chunk of the Pacific Crest Trail. #mentalWealth

4. control over your attention. You are now able to pick and choose the feeds that YOU think are good for you. Not the advertisers/shareholders

⚡ Just converted the first couple Wikipedia articles to the Nostr Wiki format. Aka publishing to @`PABLOF7z`'s Wikifreedia.
Learning a lot about the Nostr protocol and client implementation in C#. I split the code into the mirror app itself and the FakeSpoon.Lib.NostrClient so I can later pull the lib out independently.
🔥 Challenges:
- How to scale to 30 million wikipedia articles
- Parsing wikipedia's 'wikitext' format to Markdown, it's hard!
- Building resilient C# Nostr Client library (working hard on this)

As part of my learning to understand Nostr I wrote this overview about the event lifecycle. So if you're a Nostr wizard and can point out any mistakes I made along my learning journey, please do so!

Hi all! Nostr protocol question
I'm trying to learn the inner workings of Nostr by trying to explain what I learn in my public notes. But I have a question about the lifetime of events. In the NIP-01 docs I read the following:
- "for kind n such that 1000 <= n < 10000, events are regular"
- "for kind n such that 10000 <= n < 20000 || n == 0 || n == 3, events are replaceable"
- "for kind n such that 20000 <= n < 30000, events are ephemeral"
- "for kind n such that 30000 <= n < 40000, events are parameterized replaceable"
There are several of those ranges for all other lifetimes too. But what about kind 1 to 44? They're not mentioned in these ranges except for kind 3. Are they of lifetime 'Regular' as well?

This looks epic, and you automatically get a changelog and could rewind-restore, genius! Curious about merge-conflicts tho. One idea could be to integrate this into something like Obsidian as a plugin. it's all markdown anyway...

Just wondering, would it be theft if you run away from a store with a product but leave your payment on the counter in cash...?

Just tried it, it seems that primal has to add support for it. But i saw Amethyst does have it. So guess I'll be checking out Amethyst then! 😀

great! I'm using primal on Android and web, works quite well. Only thing i'm missing is @npub1get…0nfm support for event signing within the app, though there seem to be workarounds for in-browser primal. I now had to add my private key into the app directly, which is not great...

I've been running GrapheneOS on a Pixel 6 for well over a year with few issues. i DO use sandboxed google play services and all apps i've needed so far work perfectly fine.
I found the official installation manual to be very clear, especially if you're somewhat tech-savvy. The only thing that was less obvious at the time was installing the Sandboxed play services but i believe they have since made this easier.
I upgraded to a pixel 7 recently, ONLY because of the camera, unless you have specific demanding apps you want to use wouldn't worry about performance, it was very fast for all daily tasks.
Hope this helps

#dareToAsk #primal #alby
I'm very new to Nostr and trying to get the same nostr account i'm using on desktop to work on the android Primal app. The Primal app will ask for my private key but I authenticated on Primal web (desktop) using alby, which doesn't expose my nostr private key.
How do I get this working...? Any help is greatly appreciated! #grownostr
