Spammers have awoken the sleeping giant. Or in this case, a motivated, intelligent development with just enough autism flowing through his veins to be their worst nightmare. https://media.tenor.com/aoQdZhUz6UUAAAAC/go-ahead-make-my-day-clint-eastwood.gif

Spammers can run their own relays and their own clients and advocate for people to use them. Nothing's stopping them or this from happening.

We all could use another one. Such a damn good time.
If you see an opportunity for a dad joke and you didn't take it, what are you even doing with your life? And why do you hate fun? 🔥🔥🔥
What are you making for breakfast?
Who told him this was a good idea?
Good morning and pura vida, Nostr! It's time to create notes and send zaps! 🤙🏻💜🫂
Openness, transparency, proof of work, web of trust. They're all related. They're all important.
No fight from me brother. It just makes sense.
Goodnight and wabi sabi, Nostr! 🫂💜🤙🏻 https://i.nostr.build/vCtaRcGwvuBVUJI5.jpg
When you do tell me and I'll be there!
Should have asked for nodes instead
#NostrNovember 2022 - Developers and a handful of Nostr users go #NostrOnly to show that using Nostr was viable.
#NostrNovember 2023 - A community outreach initiative to educate and showcase how far Nostr has matured.
#NostrNovember 2024 - The majority of Nostr users finally embrace #NostrOnly and delete their existing social media accounts once and for all.
👀
This year's #NostrNovember is shaping up to be even better than the last two.

Welcome to the world of decentralized social communication! Here are some resources to help you on your journey.

You'd need to configure feed to only use that relay or use other WoT, paid relays, and relays that block ReplyGuy.
If you will, I will. I got banned from Overwatch for saying something mean 😂 I need a new game for two weeks.
No that wasn't Dave, that was just a random pimp that wasn't part of our group 😂
Thank your for the kind words 🥹
@nprofile…a028 don't get any ideas 👀
I laughed and now I'm going to hell.
@nprofile…rd7q and @nprofile…ux3q maybe? I know a couple others but can't remember which.
we gotta start somewhere 😉 it's better than ignoring nostr totally. you're on the right path!
found this gem though. https://m.primal.net/KtFs.png
i was just looking at the old hangout online and IRL pics to see if we had one but i can't find one of us 😟
Welcome my old friend @npub1cwh…ujc5 to nostr! We met on Google+ back in 2011 and were both very active on that platform for several years before Google abandoned Google+. Honestly, it was for the best. Now, we are here and we realize that protocols are the way forward, not platforms. Anyways, welcome Bobbi! <3
LOL. Did you see this video and be all like hey, I know that guy?
Bobbi??? No fucking shit. 👀👀👀
yo... uhm. do we know each other lol? with the name BJ and your profile picture, you look like an old friend of mine from a decade ago on Google+ 😉
i feel that. my best friend is lying beside me on the floor waiting for me to be done with work to go play <3
We can't fix what's not broken. The best what to show what's broken is by example. 🥹
reply guy is a good thing.
members of my WoT are people i follow and who they follow. it goes one tier deep. the nostr elites saying is just a meme and a shitpost from a while back. we're all elite on nostr.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lp-BlTbTmqA
i watched this on youtube and thought, man, this sounds like gladstein lol. now i know why 😄
Absolutely. It's still wild. I'm looking forward to learning more about how it was pulled off.
This is something that Bitcoiners like to give Ethereum shit for, but our most popular Layer 2 is just as centralized.
I'm wondering if it's a supply chain compromise, not necessarily a hack.
One of the "follows 8 people, never comments, doesn't engage, Nostr's sucks" ones 😂
Good. Build your community and find your flock.
This wasn't a post about Bitcoin, because that saying doesn't apply to Bitcoin, IMO. With Bitcoin it's you can't afford fiat and if you have any, you will lose 😂
No the one I had in mind, but it works lol
I'm not the subreddit creator. It's been around since before I joined Nostr. I believe @nprofile…ml2f is the only moderator. I do comment there often though.
#doomscrolling vs #bloomscrolling 😉
my friend @npub1lrn…qnw5 has made a meme about this. well, MANY memes about this.
In the traditional stock market, the advice is always 'don't invest what you can't afford to lose.' Similarly, with Nostr, if you don't invest the time, you'll lose out on its potential. Just like traditional financial investments, the more time and effort you put into engaging with Nostr, the greater your return—whether that's building connections, increasing knowledge, having fun or simply growing your presence in the decentralized social future.
im curious what this score number means? @npub1jlr…ynqn probably explained it before, but we have so much going on here that it's hard to keep track.
the domain name is based off of a meme or joke from several months ago talk about "nostr elites". peopel were making memes, shitposts, etc. i bought a domain name. and never had a good use for it until recently.
in reality there are no nostr elites. we're all just plebs or members of a flocking trying to move forward.
but yes, feel free to one-up me with doublesecretnostrelites.org
miss you and ralf. i hope you two are doing well <3
Well, at least until things get too expensive. Then it's time to raise funds or nuke it back down.
Stop the service and then run the binary manually to see if it starts
the #NostrElites WoT Relay will continue to run in "Archival Mode" for the foreseeable future. this means that the relay will automatically obtain the notes from people in my WoT without them needing to add this relay to their clients configuration. as a result, this relay should be a near spam free relay that you can configure as your only relay for your home feeds during spam attacks. (feel free to include other WoT and paid relays to help mitigate spam as well.)
ty for the kind words, but im just a dude in a flock of flightless birds.
you'll have to party extra hard for me as i cannot make it this year. katie has an evente at the same time in long island. someone needs to make sure the kids stay alive.
Yeah, probably a successful configuration with no syntax errors but missing something or something not set properly.
It sounds like a misconfiguration of your nginx?
We're about to mint a few new Nostriches.
#nevent1q…k0d5
👀👀👀 Oh shit. One million subscribers about to learn about Nostr.
Dammit. I can't look at this without seeing my face because of those damn memes. 😭
I believe this discussion moves towards what type of relay do you wish to run. A relay of verified humans or a relay of trusted humans?
To be a spammer and create awareness of Nostr's shortcomings.
I've actually considered doing that with my current relay, but ultimately haven't because I don't want to have to maintain a second contact list and not doing it is easier.
I responded to the GitHub issue. It seems like it's out of scope and not WoT.
now that i think about it, a lot of my friends are on some form of anxiety meds 😟
Beautiful. Good morning 🌄
That's a good ratio. GM PV 🤙🏻🫂💜

Good morning. It looks like you're using Primal so just tap that big ole ⚡ icon in the middle. Here's 21 sats. Welcome.
Show the left side of the face. That's the hottest. Or so the rumor goes...
I dunno man. I'd love to hear some good music. What song are you most proud of? Do you have any on @nprofile…nrls or do you just stream on Zap.stream? Also, followed you back. I look forward to hearing some of your stuff.
GM brother. I hope all is well. 🫂🫂🫂
It's not an engagement note. I try reply to every single person every morning on my GM and PV notes.
I commented on this topic this morning because I yet again see people concerned with follow counts, when these numbers are just made up and don't mean anything here on Nostr. They don't mean that someone is actively being social or engaging with others. It means a lot of people follow them or a lot of bots/spammers follow them 👀
I guess then we move to sustainability? Do they do this in the beginning and then fall off once they've gained XXX amount of followers? Or do they continually engage? Time will tell.
You did. This is a reply to a reply. PV 🤙🏻
I'm not certain. They're probably slightly subjective too as each person will have their own interpretation here. At least a 1:1 is probably the absolute bare minimum, but to me that seems incredibly low. If I'm getting 10 comments on a note, I will reply to most people.
Ugh that sucks. I've had messed up sleep schedules before. Hopefully you get it figured out.
Good morning and pura vida, Nostr! It's time to create notes and send zaps! 🫂🤙🏻💜
Follower counts do not signal engagement. The real metric for engagement lies in the ratio of replies to notes created.
My dog has a heavy head too and often uses random things as a head rest 😂

#note1ujl…edt9
that's what im assuming is happening here. if they're impersonating well known nostriches and not saying gibberish AI bullshit, maybe they'll get a follow and break into the WoT.
if it's just a simple IP address or IP range, then relay operators can easily thwart their efforts. they can just get a new subnet or new VPS, and it becomes a game of cat and mouse though.
I don't know, I'm an Android user.
These new spammers are interesting. They're using content from real notes, but replicating them across dozens of impersonation profiles.
For example. Search for "Right. I bet. I’m 6’2” so no confidence problem there." And you'll see it posted by a couple dozen well known Nostriches.
The original note was from @nprofile…td3g though.
What's odd about this here is that this name and profile picture were used by me probably 3-6 months ago.
Yikes. The lesson here is don't click shit that you don't understand.
Good morning, Colin! 💜🤙🏻🫂

I'm sure relay operators could block their IP range. It shouldn't be hard to figure out at all.

I don't think I have ever followed one.
Wow. That's incredible and if I'm being honest, I feel like we missed an major opportunity.
I'm a fan of NIP-81 in general.
I miss seeing him around here too. He's a great person. I talked to him a few weeks ago outside of Nostr. He's well. Though I did text him a week ago and he has not responded yet. I'll let him know Nostr misses him.
Oh. What a nice scammer. 😂
We are always moving forward.

Omelette because you want more of them.
You can twerk in front of your relays. There are no rules against it.
I've thought of trying this. I always make omelettes. Maybe I'll substitute sausage or bacon for spam sometime.
It could because of a multitude of reasons, but my feed has been slower over the last few days and I'm getting less engagement on my notes. Maybe it's because I tweaked my relays, maybe everyone is busy and using Nostr less like I have been recently, or maybe it's spammers turning people off, or something else.
Hmm. Something like this would be nice to have in Amethyst 🥹
My spam is boring. I just fry it and slap it between some bread.
Honestly I may need to go buy some and eat some tomorrow. It's been a while.
That is entirely possible. I would guess most new users won't stick around if all they see is spam.
Have you tweaked your relays?
I actually love spam 😂 the food.
This will lead to a more robust and resilient Nostr.
An increase of spam sucks, but it also means that we're moving from the underdog state to a more relevant state worthy of time and effort from more people.
Spammers apparently. That just means we are winning.
I'm sure here's our there. Spam attacks are blowing up today. That means we are winning.
Scammer profiles of popular Nostriches are out in full force today. Time to utilize your WoT relays and don't follow anyone with an invalid Nostr address. https://nostrcheck.me/media/3f770d65d3a764a9c5cb503ae123e62ec7598ad035d836e2a810f3877a745b24/6dabbfa2d2facf7348336acaa01b812ff17bb1840b536b2d8c1d8147e818998d.webp

Sorry I wasn't about to make it 😭
It's all coming together. Keep building.
Yes, I used it for a while last night. It works great.
That's kind of the point, to see who's posting locally, it they're geotagging their notes. This would allow you to see what's happening locally. Kind of like Snapchat maps.
That's a different kind of app 😂
They all seemed to go back to Bluesky. Maybe we weren't mature enough for them. It's been a year, it may be time to reach out once again.
Hopefully I'll have a second update in a couple hours when the sun is lower and I can get Katie to take a pic of me so that my forehead doesn't look distorted and huge 😂
that's what i said to my wife, that my head looks huge in this photo
The goal is to onboard not scare the fuck away 😂😂
Haha, thanks my brother. I should have asked you to get a good shot of me in Prague.
Amazing. Thanks Ben. You're a legend.
I'd rather pay a Nostrich that does photography. Maybe at @nprofile…spnl I can find someone.

I was at a local event last week and a nice woman that was a financial advisor approached me and gave me a card, told me to call her if I wanted to talk about my retirement, financial planning, etc. I told her I had a financial advisor and his name was Satoshi. I shit you not. She asked where he was from, and I clarified then, and said I'm heavily into saving with Bitcoin. She said she didn't know much about that, but a lot of her clients had been asking her about it this year. I wrote my email on her card and gave it back to her 😂😂 I said if your client's need advice or have questions to contact me.
Blessed 🫂🫂🫂 Thanks for the chat.
i was 😉 but only because a few of them showed up here first. i then took that as a sign that nostr could help them. sex workers need nostr and bitcoin. they're a group of people that get censored and deplatformed quite often.
i can confirm that having a meeting with @npub147w…selt increases your nostr bullishness by 100% https://media1.tenor.com/m/lNMyjjSWLYcAAAAd/my-man-my-man-denzel.gif
I think a custom Lightning address is a good idea. Strike still knows who you are for KYC reasons, but publicly you're just using a different identity for receiving. Makes sense to have this feature.
I have never seen this gif. It's amazing.
Conceded and decided to use Strike as my Lightning wallet until the LNURLp plugin for LNBits is fixed.
https://media.tenor.com/vZjt6-cM9bYAAAAC/rick-and-morty-rick.gif
#nevent1q…akc7
i hope this is pushed to prod soon so i can install this version via linbits. this is going to annoy me something fierce until it's fixed 😟
oh it looks like that commit is from a newer release. gotta figure out how to manually get this version since it's not in the lnbits extension market yet.
Test zap plz sir. Got 0.4.0 working.
Oof reverting to 0.4.0 crashed LNBits 😂
https://github.com/lnbits/lnurlp/commit/efb2eef32371a2837c0377708d13bff915958f55
it did not in-fact fix zaps.
brother i ran a custom ROM from 2010 to 2021 on every single Android phone that i owned. im old school, friends with my old Android devs from the modding community, CM, AOKP, etc. at some point in your life you just don't have the time to tinker with certain things and you just want your devices to work. i appreciate the offer though <3
So they're not using the zappees relays? Which ones are they using?
amethyst shows it because it's cache. if you nuke cache you won't see it any longer. i don't see the zap on any other client that i've checked. so it looks like it's not working for either of us according to nostur, damus, primal, and cache clear amethyst.
sent you a 21 sat zap on this note.
I've been using LNBits for my Zaps for about a year and a half. It's worked great up until now.
is anyone using the LNURLp plugin with LNbits for zaps? is the latest version of the plugin, version 0.5.0, working with zaps for you? i upgraded LNbits and the plugin yesterday and apparently my zaps are now broken. i can receive them fine, but they don't actually register with nostr. it sounds like the callback to nostr is not working as expected?
Could I be a pain and ask for another test? 1 sat is fine.
Thank you. Okay, I see 100 sats and 42 sats recently came in, but they're not registered as Zaps. I wonder if that's broken in the latest lnurlp plugin?
Speaking of Lightning. Self custody Lightning is a fucking pain in the dick.
I don't have time to fuck with this all morning.
Oh I understand this more than most I'd bet. Back in December 2022 through February 2023 the amount of Bitcoiners that didn't understand how to register a Nostr address with nostrplebs.com because they didn't know how to use Lightning still blows my mind. Many had never used Lightning, had a node with zero channels, or didn't know how to get on-chain to off-chain. I helped so many people open their first Lightning channels, setup their nodes, or recommend/install a wallet.
And if I'm being honest, a lot of them I had assumed were in Bitcoin much longer than me. I'm fully convinced that 2021-2024 Bitcoiners were born into Lightning and use it much more so than Bitcoiners from previous cycles.
On a related note, can you try a zap again? I think I fixed it. Thank you.
Ugh. I'm having all sorts of issues since I upgraded LNBits yesterday. Let me work on it. Thank you.
Good morning and pura vida, Nostr! It's time to create notes and send zaps! 💜🫂🤙🏻
Happy Friday!
While we have no proof of this, it makes absolute sense if you think about. Twitter had zero use cases. Most people are hands on learners. Talking about Bitcoin, saying the same things over and over again can only go so far. Real world, fun, stress free use cases will do wonders for education. I believe you're right.
Sounds great to me. It captures our history accurately.

He wasn't called Dave back then. It was before the grand renaming.
It's the fastest land bird though.
I used to. I don't any longer because I don't have time to dick with custom ROMs. I've never owned an iPhone. I'm an Android maxi. I'm using a secondary iPhone from my niece as a test device to play with iOS Nostr only apps so that I can help people with Nostr and be better at onboarding.
I was going to ask if he was wearing a cowboy hat 😂
I never left. I am just borrowing my nieces phone to play with more nostr shinies
Yep. I've only charged it 3 times though. It's been dead most of the time.
The Woz is kind of awesome.
I'd rather never use technology again than have to use an Apple device.
Oh no. That won't happen. It's too hard to use.
That will never happen. It's way too hard to use and the keyboard is like typing with my feet.
Today is a sad day. I used an iPhone today more than I have ever used one in my life. Why? Testing the new Damus and the new Nostur. Damus now has great working notifications and Nostur now has working Nostr Nests integrated.
it's a sad day to be an Android fanboi 😩

For flow, maybe the FAB is just a ➕ icon and when you tap it, it grows upwards into ✍🏻, 🗓️,🎙️ with the ➕ being turned into an ✖️ to compress the FAB back down into a ➕.
They wouldn't be related to the feed or anything in the feed. I'm using the FAB here as a create button and you have 3 options to create something.
If we're creating events we would also need a way to browse scheduled events too. I'm guessing add a feed of NIP-52 events in the "Other Stuff" tab? It might make sense to show them in the main feed as they're created too?
I'd love to see two additional buttons added to Amethyst or other clients.
You tap the FAB and have several choices

Comingle is good, but doesn't have a web component. That could be Troop. It still needs more work though.
We should play sometime. I haven't played in years and would have horrible deck skills.
Back to the dev cave with you. https://media.tenor.com/jnnbjQvE50UAAAAC/king-of.gif
No. But maybe we can get that added in a future release?
At least they’re configurable 🤙🏻
The new Damus notifications work great 😂 My test iPhone won’t shut up with all of the alerts and beeps and boops.
Nostr is also a bit of an underdog still. And follower counts are near meaningless. Engagement and being social is more important imo.
Follow the attached link. It’s basically a known user that isn’t a bot or a spammer.

I've thought about this too. My cousin is getting married in a couple weeks. She's the only family member I've ever orange pilled. I gotta get her more bitcoin.
Great! I use this comparison in all of my talks when describing Nostr!

I don't think I have? Most of my steaks that I eat are from local farmers here in Central PA.
It was. And it hit the spot.
this is similar to asking how many users are using email or how many people browse the web. we really don't have an accurate count for those. we can have educated guesses and estimates though. nostr is no different here.
According to nostr.band, Nostr consists of the following:
Pubkeys: 35,067,097
Users: 1,067,394
Trusted users: 188,773

I did see one elderly couple walking but that evened out with the young couple and their baby also walking. Yes I waved at the baby and said hi. I am a dad. I do dad things.
Hmm. If it's not snowing though, and the ground is just covered, that's acceptable.
2 miles done. Doing Nostr for some reason while I walk for a bit. About to start back up and finish this out.
This is bad. You'll kill your battery, data, small animals, and experience performance issues.
They don't, unless people's clients broadcast to their relays when they share or comment, such as Amethyst.
It's another beautiful day to run, don't you agree @nprofile…ruhg? https://i.nostr.build/yT8mNpZ8vE51AFqy.jpg
no one knows the magical number of relays to use, however i recommend somewhere around a 8-10. this number can change if you're using specific relays for specific reasons such as local relays, archive relays, DM relays, contact list relays, search relays ,etc. that said, less is more does apply here.
55 relays is about 40 too much. I used to think you needed to add many relays too when I was a newbie. I found out the hard way that too many relays hurt your experience. Though, I think you have me beat lol. I had somewhere in the mid 40's! Anyways, try to trim the relay fat and you'll have a better time, your phone battery and your data will love you for it.

i am not a code lumberjack like @npub1utx…50e8 though. this is just my interpretation after looking at the code. utxo plz confirm.
Yes. the WoT-relay software automatically pulls in notes from the following relays that are members of the WoT without WoT members needing to write their notes there:
"wss://nos.lol",
"wss://nostr.mom",
"wss://purplepag.es",
"wss://purplerelay.com",
"wss://relay.damus.io",
"wss://relay.nostr.band",
"wss://relay.snort.social",
"wss://relayable.org",
"wss://relay.primal.net",
"wss://relay.nostr.bg",
"wss://no.str.cr",
"wss://nostr21.com",
"wss://nostrue.com",
"wss://relay.siamstr.com",
by default, the WoT-relay does not pull notes from the mostr relay. It would pull them from other relays, if the mostr notes get broadcasted to those relays.
that said, nostr.band probably indexes them and this relay does pull notes from nostr.band.

Yikes. Those are really vague and broad terms. Nostr to the rescue.
I've had a lot of people ask me in the past for these things actually, wondering why most Nostr clients don't have it. I think there's definitely a group of people that want this feature.
This is how we beat the T-9000.

If WoT relay is based off of follows and contact lists, then this doesn't matter. Right? They should focus on trying to trick someone that may be quick on the follow trigger.
Congratulations, Mike! 🔥🔥🔥
Yooo on my run earlier I was thinking about exactly this 🤣 Great minds 🥹
It's a beautiful day for a run. https://i.nostr.build/BtJFk9RWrp2s9Gl0.jpg

Thank you sir. I guess it's time for me to go for a run and check back later.

linking real world content and even non-nostr digital content back into nostr will be extremely powerful, bringing nostr into various corners of our daily lives.

I don't have a plan, I have concepts of a plan. 🤣 These conceptual plans include running NostrPlebs.com, promoting Nostr Nests growth into all major social apps, building more useful bots and DVMs to help with content discovery, continuing to run several Nostr relays to support the ecosystem, growing Nostr adoption via education and onboarding workshops and booths around the world, and to continue to create notes and send zaps on a daily basis. Okay. Maybe I do have a plan. It's more than a certain presidential candidate.

I've been jamming to it all day.

"Yes" but a Nostr address isn't really verification, it's more of an identifier for your public key, a human readable format.
Check out @nprofile…z8t8 or use a DVM to see what you've missed.

Ugh. I guess we'll tune in as well.
Experience. I know that relay.damus.io, relay.nostr.band, and nos.lol mitigate spam. nos.lol has problems recently but seems to have fixed the issue.
I'm going to begin moving my relays around, choosing WoT, paid, and public relays that mitigate spam, but most of all, moving away from Blastr. We'll see how it goes over the next month.
I can look when I get home.
What you have configured is good, brother.
I haven't mentioned it because it's a *another* paid relay, however Nostr Plebs does have a relay that can help with spam mitigation too. The only caveat is that you need to be a Nostr Plebs registered user and currently be using your nostrplebs.com or another Nostr address purchased from us to be able to write to our relay. It's a little different than most.

People sometimes forget that freedom of speech doesn't necessarily mean that everyone has to hear or read what everyone says. People should also have the freedom to configure their social experiences however they want. This includes muting or not seeing anything that I don't want to see. The spammer wins because they can spam the network. I win because I have them filtered out and don't see things I don't want to see. It's a win/win situation if everyone is given the freedom to do whatever they please here.
No. That would be interesting though.
Which is why I said little to no spam instead of spam free.

Clients are what diversify and display the content in pleasing and exciting ways. Data storage isn't sexy enough.
Relay management needs more love. Relays, while the dumb data stores of Nostr, are the lifeblood that allows our content to be decentralized and censorship resistant.
Imagine a time when someone, a group of people, or even an entire country is banned from accessing certain relays. These users need better tools for discovery and migration.
#nevent1q…0rz7
Easy to use relay management and exploration is an area that can see vast improvements.
I want a go to blooming song. Can we get one @nprofile…q8w6?
I have been checking her out a bit this morning. I'm impressed.
Does your client app that you're using allow you to pick which relays you're sending content to? You could try that.
And again depending on client, time can see if any of the operator follow you. You could also DM them 🫂
Oh I like how you can specify your trust depth level. Very nice.

Additions to my list from above:
wss://wot.nostr.party
wss://wot.girino.org
wss://relay.lnau.net
wss://wot.siamstr.com
if you're running a WoT (Web-of-Trust) relay, please let me know. I'd like to compile a list.
wss://wot.utxo.one - @npub1utx…50e8
wss://nostrelites.org - @npub18am…p424
wss://relay.diegoyegros.com - @npub1p3r…gxl9
wss://wot.sovbit.host - @npub1gnw…errq
What's a Web-of-Trust relay?
It's a type of relay that anyone can read from, but only certain people can write to. If the owner follows you or one of the people that the owner follows, follows you, then you're considered inside their Web-of-Trust. You can then write to this relay!
Example:
I follow @npub1sg6…f63m but I do not follow @billybob. @npub1sg6…f63m however does follow @billybob. Therefore, @billybob is allowed to write to my WoT relay.
Even if you're not inside a WoT, you can still use these relays for reading Nostr content. This relay software also fetches and archives content from people inside the WoT automatically. This means users inside the WoT don't even need to choose these relays and write to them for their content to be available on these relays. And then readers can enjoy this content with little to no spam. Cool.
no, it just means that you wouldn't be able to use this relay if the people that created it do not follow you or their follows do not follow you.
this is a pitfall of the WoT model. it's great for existing and OGs, but it doesn't help the newcomers that just want a spam-free experience.
i view WoT relays as one piece of the puzzle.
i think this is a major hurdle for nostr adoption right now. most people here don't mind using something that's about 85% stable, because they see the potential and understand that nostr is being built live, before our eyes. however, most people out there on the planet just want their apps to work.

I remember my family members and close friends. Mostly I remember people's birthday's from the before times, when we had to remember because we didn't have technology to help us out here.
When it's a little more beta, I might do it. I like the idea of having a couch surfing Nostr device that is not my phone or laptop.
I want to buy a cheap Android tablet just to run Notedeck 🥹
I have some IRL friends that watched my Nostr 101 talk from Nostriga. They all told me I did a great job and had some comments, but none of them were willing to "add another social media" because they have their "Facebook and X feeds finely tuned". 😩

Fair point. I honestly don't know how fast my WoT grows. That would be interesting in itself to try and track.
the #NostrElites WoT relay grew almost 5GB in 3 days. that seems like a lot 😂👀 if things continue this way, that means after a month i'll be at 150GB. that's 30GB more than the current capacity. yikes.
https://m.primal.net/KlOk.png
They now follow @nprofile…xpeu and @nprofile…rw7e
I enjoyed it, but it seems like it's just based off the last few notes 🥹
Need this for my gaming rig.
I don't even know if most relays would accept a list of this size. It's probably not sustainable.
Investors buying the hype and selling the he news.
It's not a bad thing to check out what's happening on the other side from time to time. Juat don't become obsessed or let it define you or your movement.
It's cool tech but it's also expensive as fuck, so the people using it are automatically labeled as douche canoes. It has a big marketing problem.
Doesn't this always happen during their conferences?
Welcome to Nostr and the decentralized social future! 🤙🏻🫂💜
Implement badges that are unlocked automatically the more you Zap. Win, win.
Apple fans in disbelief 😂
#nevent1q…qfpj
Cool people and freedom technology are important, but with more users comes more value for value or more subscriptions which means sustainability for our devs.
it's true. we aren't growing nearly as fast as Bluesky. that's no secret. however, we are a grassroots movement with sound goals and an incredible amount of passion. we may need to tweak some strategies from time to time, but we will succeed.
#note1qqq…0ymv
losing the short term battle, but we will win the long term war.
@npub1acg…p35c in disbelief 😂
Agree. There won't be a perfect solution and most likely we'll have a combination of several solutions that works for most people. The key, IMO, is to not alienate new nostriches. They need the most help here.
Not bad. Hopefully they stick around.
You are correct. These solve the issue for existing users, but we need a solution for onboarding new users too. No one wants to join a social network, say hello, and see a dozen spam replies. I'll check out the link. Thanks.
Errm I mean from Zap.store lol
Can't you just install it? I installed it last week from the Play Store?
Welcome to Nostr and the decentralized social future! 💜🫂🤙🏻
https://media.tenor.com/lNMyjjSWLYcAAAAd/my-man-my-man-denzel.gif
Nostr moves so fast. Do you mean the boost bot @nprofile…7fcy?
My GMs and PVs are really powerful 🥹
As it should be. We can't battle state actors for those that need Nostr most of wr can't battle a few reply spammers.
Not that I know of, but different clients support PoW in different capacities.
You have to send someone 1 BTC first, they then send you an invite and 2 BTC back.
ReplyGuy spam sucks, however it's allowing for the emergence of a stronger and more robust Nostr. If we have a wide open communication protocol, that means that anyone and everyone can participate if they choose to do so. ReplyGuy is nothing. Trust me. It's so insignificant compared to what's coming in the future. ReplyGuy is a wake-up call to developers, but also to users too. None of us should be complacent when we need to be vigilant with our social communication. This is a mere scrimmage for what's coming down the road. Use this time to build solutions. Use this practice game to fine tune your relays.
You can choose paid relays or choose smaller community relays, such as those built on WoT or other metrics.
We have a lot of choices for paid relays. Maybe you'll use @nprofile…sgtg's wss://nostr.wine or @nprofile…gv5w's wss://nostr.land as your paid relays. You can find more at https://nostr.watch by @nprofile…45kh.
What are WoT relays? These are a semi-new concept. They can be invite only or they can be constructed via a person's personal Web-of-Trust follow list.
For example: You use use wss://pyramid.fiatjaf.com by @nprofile…xuyp if you are invited by an existing user. Additionally, you can use wss://wot.utxo.one or wss://nostrelites.org if you're in the Web-of-Trust of either @nprofile…xpeu or myself. (Meaning one of us follows you or one of the people we follow follows you, going one layer deep in our social connection.)
More WoT relays will pop-up or already do exist.
As the outbox model grows and gains popularity, smaller community relays will become the normal way that people use Nostr the most, IMO.
If you're a relay operator that's combatting spam, feel free to shill it down below in the comments.
Come hangout with Seth, myself, and many other Nostriches.

The one Nostrich with the haircut. You know?
A sexy Nostr fan-fic with left side of face references? 👀
Let's go brother. Glad to see you taking this path with your show.
Good morning, Jode! 🫂🫂🫂
https://media.tenor.com/lNMyjjSWLYcAAAAd/my-man-my-man-denzel.gif
I think it's a good solution. WoT and paid relays work for the majority of users. It makes things a bit more complicated for new users though. That's what needs to be solved.
Good morning and pura vida, Nostr! It's time to create notes and send zaps! 🫂💜🤙🏻
Let's grind!
Nostr, it's been a hell of a busy weekend for me. I am sure I have a lot to catch up on as I'm sure I've missed a lot. I hope that your weekend was amazing as well. Goodnight and wabi sabi 🫂🤙🏻💜
@nprofile…sgpc it was very good, very smooth. I'm a fan. Everyone else here enjoyed it too.
This year's seafood boil is a go! @nprofile…jxr7 @nprofile…kwy6 #NostrBoil https://v.nostr.build/FVaxTEfuwgBeZ7h5.mp4 https://i.nostr.build/MthJ9ssgshXD6Yo6.jpg https://i.nostr.build/9w3RYlcXlFX5WJzU.jpg https://v.nostr.build/XpFpsr7ykcfUsrNo.mp4
Yes, we will be drinking it today at my seafood boil. And will do, brother.
Today is a special day @nprofile…vhk5 #winestr
https://i.nostr.build/hFGYmMsy7JXsJKIg.jpg
You still have free speech though.
Rabble is a legend. I can't wait for him to onboard hundreds of thousands of people by turning causes.com into a Nostr client. Thats going to be incredible for Nostr growth! Anyways, one thing that's cool about Nostr is that it allows for a wide range of social experiences all built on the same protocol. Not all apps will be the same, because not all humans are the same.
That bot helps build a specific social experience for users that want to use @nprofile…t6q5. Nos won't be for everyone, but it doesn't have to be either. We have plenty of choices here.
I believe the bot flagged me once. I was pissed at first and then I realized I don't care all that much because I don't use nos.
Good morning and pura vida, Nostr! It's time to create notes and send zaps! 🫂🤙🏻💜
And it's also time to cook food for 36 people. Let's go! 🦞🦐🦪🍔🌭
Use my WoT relay and utxo's WoT relay and paid relays.
Dreading and also excited
ReplyGuy for you down? Add wss://nostrelites.org and drink a beer.
Use my WoT relay brother

Oh no. We're at a friend's wedding. This summer we celebrated 18 years married through.
I asked him this before. It's long gone I believe from an old key maybe?
I dressed myself thank you very much 🥵
It's a beautiful day for an outside wedding.

Funny thing is I joined the Bitcoin subreddit in the very beginning. I remember seeing halving memes and all sorts of price memes. I was just a lurker though. I didn't spend time to even care what they were talking about for many years later.
Welcome to Nostr and the decentralized social future! 🫂💜🤙🏻
I'm just running a new relay. This is code from the much more talented @nprofile…xpeu and @nprofile…xuyp also contributed 🤣
I follow you so you should be able to write to it...
Yeah, block the profile pic. I haven't seen him since.
I could create a note now and do that. I don't see this as any different.
You'd need to add all paid and WoT relays, but yes it is.
https://media.tenor.com/lNMyjjSWLYcAAAAd/my-man-my-man-denzel.gif
Good morning. I'm headed to a wedding this afternoon. It should be a great day! 🫂🤙🏻💜

Good morning 🌄 It's going to be a busy AF weekend here 💜🤙🏻🤙🏻
Good morning and pura vida, Nostr! It's time to create notes and send zaps! 🫂🤙🏻💜
GM PV. The key is to be consistent.
There are many different relay types and implementations. This one allows people that you follow and who they follow to all write to this relay. It's a one level deep Web-of-Trust relay.
You would still need to be familiar with the command line to set your server up and to install this, it is now however slightly easier than it was earlier today.
Maybe in an make a tutorial sometime next week.
Leading Nostr Lumberjack @nprofile…xpeu has made his WoT even easier to run with Docker. Congratulations container fans!
This is the relay that I'm running for https://nostrelites.org
https://github.com/bitvora/wot-relay
I know of three WoT relays. Hopefully more already exist. And if not, once people realize how easy it is to run one, we'll see more in the near future.
How many people happened to come across a Bitcoin related tweet from outside of their social circles and said oh wow I should buy bitcoin? It's probably fairly low.
Nostr is an unstoppable force of freedom. #NostrOnly
#nevent1q…fnu7
Congratulations on joining the #NostrOnly movement brother.
Absolutely. And on a related note, you can write to relay.nostrplebs.com too if you didn't know.
At 200MB already 🥹 We'll see how expensive this gets.
I guess I need to come up with a data retention policy for nostrelites.org if I'm going to run this public relay. Maybe I'll follow @nprofile…k0h3 and nuke it once a year to save on costs? 👀
I see you published to nostr.band too. Is this a bug in the latest Amethyst? I tried this earlier and the same thing happened.
I used this
https://github.com/bitvora/wot-relay
I was fucking with things. I'm done doing that. It should be stable now.
Different clients will show you this information. I don't follow you 🥹 But that doesn't mean I won't. Lemme dig into your notes and toss you a follow.
New version deployed.

oh shit you were adding the relay websocket URI lol
Then they get removed from my WoT 🫂
😂😂😂 This is a term that @nprofile…jmzy came up with a while back. I bought the domain and never had a food use for it until now.
Thanks @nprofile…xpeu and @nprofile…xuyp for your hard work.
Introducing the #NostrElites relay based on my Web of Trust! Who can write to this relay? Anyone in my WoT can write to this relay. My WoT includes people I follow and who they follow. No more spam.
wss://nostrelites.org
More Nests and Zap.stream updates on Nostur. It works so damn well.
https://i.nostr.build/dAyN5OiIbSMlVCMU.jpg
copy the URL to their profile picture, add that url to your filter.
I saw @nprofile…qt7a mention this too
I need to dogfood more and use Flare more.
I don't know if I knew that to be honest...
No. @nprofile…pyug hates me.
I just want him to keep making great music and to find aliens.
Flare is cool, but has a very small user base and very small amount of content. I have some videos coming that I'll share to both Flare and YouTube.
There's a reason why I always wear my Damus shirt to every single talk that I give 🥹
Please let me know when there's a viable YouTube competitor with content that I can share 🥹
Hmm. Maybe just some? That one showing a preview for you is blank for me. https://i.nostr.build/RJbQQJT5SG6n9mlI.jpg
You could, but it would mean that you could lose all of your content if that relay went down.
Latest Amethyst doesn't show YouTube preview images/ rich snippets. I am hurt.
Doing well. How are you? 🤙🏻🫂💜
Hmm. Yeah that's confusing. @nprofile…pyug 🥹
miss you brother. i hope you're doing well 🫂🫂🫂
this new blink 182 song is a banger imo #tunestr
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lgfLCgnqwDI
The latest Amethyst allows any profile metadata to be used as mute criteria.
Think of NSEC as short for Nostr secret key.
As long as his profile picture doesn't change I don't see him 🤣
Probably. I just found out recently that an upcoming major client may not fit my definition of a client... It uses login, but doesn't publish anything, and it's more of a content scrapper. I did not know this. It's also early in development so they still have time to become more of a client and publish data.
You're welcome. People getting hurt to easily and overreacting because we're not inside each other's assholes all of the time. For real. 🤣🤣🤣
Remember we discussed this last week.
#nevent1q…pyvs
yes, you can follow, unfollow, add to lists, etc. it's more than just search.
https://media1.tenor.com/m/RYHuzgLo0OoAAAAC/jennifer-lawrence-j-law.gif
It's not sarcasm. Yikes. The attached image is a little funny, but nothing malicious is meant by it. It's just meant to add some levity to the situation. Again. Yikes.
The original Nests that was a fork of Jam was closed, but open to anyone that wanted to contribute. Several people did contribute. This was because Semisol wanted to keep his indexer that he wrote private. This has been discussed numerous times. It was roughly a year, closer to 9 months if memory serves correctly, not 18 months that you mentioned.
In January 2024 I began discussing working with Kieran and in February 2024 a brand new open source client launched. Here's the announcement that discusses the launch https://habla.news/u/derekross@nostrplebs.com/nostr-nests-2.0
Gate keeper? No. I actively tried to get Semisol to work on Nests for the better part of a year and tried to get people to contribute, including Vic, but ultimately Vic did not want to work with Semisol and decided to go his own route.
Ultimately it was for the best. Now I get to work with Kieran on a fully open source and Nostr first client that I've always wanted for Nests.
You were there for all of this. I'm surprised you don't remember it this way. Maybe your bias is showing?
hmm. i have the perfect domain for this 😉

Damn, Ben. Looking good brother. I need to go back to cutting out bread and pasta and sugar again. Thanks for the motivation! 🔥🔥🔥
All of us. We are the visionaries.
Yesterday I said that Nostr Nests was a Nostr client and that Corny Chat wasn't a Nostr client. When I first used Corny, it allowed Nostr login and pulled a profile picture and name. That was it. I have not used Corny since. It's been updated. A lot! Wow. It's now in alignment with Nostr Nests using multiple Nostr events and publishing them to relays. That's cool. Congratulations, @nprofile…s07z. Sorry I was wrong on the progress with your app. Keep building. 🤙🏻💜🫂

Nostriches have been saying that we are the signal since December 2022. The prophecy is being fulfilled.
https://media.tenor.com/jDJkh3w0wTAAAAAC/gregzaj1-ln_strike.gif
holy shit. this note has 50 comments apparently? i see zero lol
I'd like to see more discussion on the use of @npub1gcx…nj5z's NIP-81 Relationship Status. This NIP would allow a user to assign a private or public note to a specific npub.
For example. If we met at #Nostriga or at #NostrValley I could add a quick private note indicating where we met and what we talked about. This would help jog my memory and remember our interactions and conversations.
The fact of the matter is, many of us follow hundreds or even thousands of Nostriches. Being able to add notes or nicknames to npubs would help us be more social and engaged.
https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/761
https://github.com/vitorpamplona/nips/blob/relationship-status/81.md

On Amethyst go to security filters, hidden words, and add "xDBupZD" without quotes or you can add the whole image URL https://i.imgur.com/xDBupZD.jpeg
That would be annoying. Glad it's fixed.
I don't see them 🥹 I'm blocking the profile picture that they're all using. It's a quick and dirty bandaid fix for now.
Agree. I use nostr.wine but no longer use filter 🥹
Damn. The new Amethyst is smooth AF. And the transitions are fantastic. Great work @nprofile…s8dt team! 🥹
Hmm. Is this because you approve every transaction?
I'm just letting him know that his relay is affected so that he can block the IP.
Nice. Until they stop using profile pics 😂
The latest Amethyst allows for easy blocking of ReplyGuy spam... That is until the bots start using randomly generated names. The game continues.
#nevent1q…8ruh
Definitely the ugliest 😂😂
This is just my personal preference. I don't like the ugly sweatshirts that mimic ugly sweaters. They're too cheesy 😂
It's an attack that results in a lesson. All spammers and attackers over the last two years have not been malicious. They've only shown where improvements can happen. I've welcomed all of it. Devs don't generally work to fix these issues until they become an issue.
Hi 👀 There is no true global feedback as it's only a feed of all of the relays that you're using.
You can visit https://nostr.watch to find relays. Though, this website doesn't mention their capacity or popularity.
Muting, blocking, or filtering the spam from being displayed on the client level is just a band-aid fix. Relays are still hosting the spam, using server resources.
#nevent1q…gx3f
Yeah, newbies will be lost here.
I understand and agree with you. I also know that only a few clients support outbox at this time. We need more of this.
It seems like most reply guy spam is hitting the larger relays. A simple fix would be to use smaller relays and/or paid relays.
Did he do something special or is it just paid relays working as intended by providing a paywall for spammers?
Are they actual sweaters or sweatshirts with printed ugliness? I'd love a real sweater 🥹
But that's what happened though. Outbox users found it and interacted with it spreading it around via the old broadcast method.
Sweet. I saw that @nprofile…n6kq was giving away sats for faxes. Thanks @nprofile…s834 🫂
You have awoken the sleeping bear.
#nevent1q…svjw
This is partially my fault for using Eventbrite and Facebook because I wanted non Nostriches to see the event too.
PV 🤙🏻 Thanks and you too!
In true decentralized fashion we have people signed up via multiple methods. It's probably somewhere around 40+ right now. But I've also had people tell me they're coming and they didn't register. So there's that. I'll get a more accurate count soon.
Really? This looks great on Primal for Android. When I made it I tested on both the two clients I use daily 😂
I don't choose what's hot. Users do.
I don't know who that is, but step one is just asking them 🤙🏻
This is by far my most favorite bot that I made. I use it every morning to catch up on things that I've missed.
#nevent1q…2lsm
They love certain relays.
Good morning and pura vida, Nostr! It's time to create notes and send zaps! 💜🫂🤙🏻
Nostr's interoperability doesn't mean everything will work together. It means everything can work together.
https://media.tenor.com/YZen55fy73AAAAAC/g%C3%AAnant-awkward.gif
I haven't used corny since the beginning of the year when it just had Nostr login. The fact that it's actually using Nostr events now is great work. I didn't know that. Glad they joined Nests in this regard. Let's go!
And on that note, goodnight and wabi sabi, Nostr! 🤙🏻🫂💜
Lyn's article is probably the best I've seen, but it mentions Bitcoin 25 times 🥹 Just do a find and replace with something else 🤣
https://www.lynalden.com/the-power-of-nostr/
If that's the case then this would work. Thanks.
Do you know if the latest StartOS allows the outside world to connect to services? Are they publicly accessible?
Relays don't relay content onwards, it's a bad name. Did StartOS launch their new version with better networking, allowing services to be accessible from the outside world? If that update came out then I would assume that you could configure this relay to be accessible by anyone. If this is the case, it could be your outbox relay for people to read your content. The last time I checked StartOS, this was not something that could easily be done. I'll have to play around with the latest version and see. Sorry that this isn't a good answer. Maybe someone else knows.
It depends on what your goals are. If you just want a backup that only only you can connect to, then a StartOS relay is fine.
Orbot + Citrine + Amber + Amethyst = Shadowy Super Communication https://i.nostr.build/fMmwNESYfwyrG8Ql.jpg
Umbrel's app store has a very well designed and easy to use Nostr relay, however it's not a public relay, it's more of a local backup relay.
Useful during spam attacks, such as now.
#nevent1q…lyqh
Spam mitigation has always and will forever be a game of whack-a-mole.
Paid relays are the way to go if you don't want spam.
Block their IP addresses?
I don't really see much here after I blocked them and added a muted string on Amethyst.
How are large relays handling the spam? Any issues?
https://media.tenor.com/jDJkh3w0wTAAAAAC/gregzaj1-ln_strike.gif
😂😂 Sometimes I gotta speak extra clear.
First you gotta ask what you want your relay to do and who you want to access it.
I just used Amethyst to publish to my in house relay only.
No, though that could be done too if I did the whole Tor relay configuration with it.
My relay runs Nostream.
https://media.tenor.com/lNMyjjSWLYcAAAAd/my-man-my-man-denzel.gif
I see you tagged correctly. I'm confused.
They must know Pamela Anderson very well 🤣
