Blue is winning though 🔵

I don't think Amethyst connects to global by default, I think that's only when you view global. , is that correct?

Nice, Silent Payments seems like a great direction. I'm not aware of any major arguments against it except for the need for scanning, but that can be improved via various approaches.

Stacker News is much better and informed already. There are updates about Zapstore regularly there. HN is for normie engineers (currently)...

Fair point, sorry. Let's give it a bit more time (a month or two) and then you should maybe submit yourself and let others know here.

These actually look great if you know Obtanium or Zapstore...

It seems that that reaction was triggered by the fact that subtitle on Google is something else than on nostr.com, which I presume was changed for a reason and that reason is answer to your question.

Pinch and roll...

Oh no, I'll have to use that!

It's on demand (afaik) as you scroll through your feed... so it connects and disconnects very rapidly based on what needs to be displayed. My number of relays sometimes jumps to 1500 and then down under 200 again. So essentially this is leveraging the fact that you usually follow only at most thousands of people and also the fact that you can only view a small number of pieces of content at the same time on your screen. And then finally, some relays are actually shared / used by multiple people, so the number of relays that you practically need to pull from stays similar no matter how many people you follow.

This is related to the number of people you follow, not the whole network.

Which way did you post this? Nostr first?

Yes, hard to disagree. This is probably especially hard for folks that were deep in some software stack or classic BE work. Folks that know how to imagine stuff, define requirements and click around through a tons of UIs have (imo) a bit advantage here. My grandmother literally uses multiple AI chatbots to build smaller apps / image things for her friends and she's able to tell me which AI is now better for this, since she compared them.

or they are particularly dumb in those locations 😉

My Amethyst is currently connected to 200+ relays without effects on performance or battery - it just works - check how many relays you are actually connected to.

I remember many blocks in the last 6 years, where fees made large chunk of block rewards - sometimes even more than subsidy. And people barely noticed, some were a bit annoyed that things are slower and more expensive.
