Can you make a badge for them? Nostr bears

People land, don’t get a good feed quickly, don’t find their people, and churn. Main issues: 1. slow time to value 2. weak discovery 3. fragmented client/relay UI 4. no clear must have use case On top of that, it’s been a bit hamstrung by being too Bitcoin-only. Zaps are powerful, but locking payments to Lightning narrows the funnel. The NIP should really allow users to choose any payment method and route to the best match between users. If someone prefers Lightning, fine. If someone else wants fiat rails or something else, that shouldn’t break the interaction. Payments should expand the network, not segment it. It also started backwards. Nostr tried to be a Twitter replacement first, then bolt on DMs and groups later. That’s backwards for how networks usually form. I think I'd we focused on communities, private over MLS like, and can possibly do or public over specific relays. The ability to cover privacy DM or open public notes grows naturally from the social graph that developes from the group's.

I think if he water a CIA op they would get someone with a legitimate degree in the field. He is going pretty viral with his confidence predictions

I suspected the same, but think hes probably a hobbiest who exaggerated his resume

If I'm trying to communicate a logical flow with 2 or more points I will type it into AI and let it structure my thoughts into something people can follow. But usually ask it to cut the fluff because I hate reading more than I need to 🤣

That's a good idea. Nostr could bridge over the top of the ecosystem and be. Top level driver for any chain. That would take a lot of the scaminess out of crypto by taking away the single system lock in.

Yeah, degrees are an exercise in conformance, but it's a major red flag to unironically call yourself professor when your only formal qualification is a degree in english literature.

A constant migraine is understandable with the current state of Bitcoin.

Are we giving 'Professor' Jiang more credit than he deserves? He is a journalist and highschool teacher. #jiang #professorjiang #Iran

How you know if a relay has auth?

Today our family grew in the most incredible way. Our baby arrived in what was technically a free birth. Labour moved so quickly that our little one was born at home in the water before the midwives could arrive, surrounded by some of her closest friends. It was filled with love. I was fortunate enough to catch my own child and lift her out of the water into the world, an amazing thing. After our first birth in hospital, experiencing a home birth was completely different. It felt natural, grounded, and deeply personal. I’m so proud of my wife and in awe of her strength. What makes today even more special is the road that led here. After years of infertility and miscarriages we had honestly given up hope. Then, not long after she stepped away from work, we were blessed with this pregnancy. It still feels like a miracle. Our hearts are so full tonight. Grateful for our growing family, for the friends who were there in that moment, and for the incredible woman I get to call my wife. #homebirth #freebirth #waterbirth

What is the source of that? I can't find it elsewhere.

Yeah, I'd love to get one. Hopefuly my S21 can hold long enough/ development happens fast enough

What do you think a power struggle between Israel and the US would look like? Although they are allies, this comes through economic reality rather than shared values and goals. Despite what some wacko Zionist Christian heretics might preach. Israel can apply pressure on the economy, such as threatening mass redundancies under the excuse of AI, to force the US to corporate in attacking Iran. The US can strike back by legitimising cryptocurrency, weakening the control of central bankers by imposing hard constraints on the base money.

With 3D printing and CNC machines there is no reason the average person can't realistically afford to sculpt their house with the same splendour of a mediaeval cathedral. With AI image generators custom designs could be slopped on the wall of every home
