🎙Quote of the Day🎙️
—--------------------------
The: Daniel⚡️ (npub1aeh…4nwx) shares note on the benefits of being algorithm free. "I can see what people I actually follow are saying right now, not irrelevant stuff some “popular” account posted a day and a half ago..."
One of the best features of Nostr is the absence of an algorithm. Every time I come back I can see what people I actually follow are saying right now, not irrelevant stuff some “popular” account posted a day and a half ago where I already missed the chance to chime in. This is the pura vida of the internet. 🤙

mcshane (npub16vr…p2va) looking to for like-minded nostriches to roll with at Nostrica
for those who practice or want to learn, I’ve found a couple Black Belt Brazilian Jiu Jitsu instructors in Uvita.
Going to add their classes to the #Nostrica side quests. Lmk if interested in joining a class with me and some others.
If we get more than 20 we could have them put on a seminar 🤙

wakoinc (npub1ktw…mrvj) on 🔥today🔥, reminds us how relays impact your nostr experience, announces he is working on a nostr relay recommendation app, as well as an app that downloads your history for you!!
quotingI still haven’t had time to finish it.. but hopefully this utility can help when choosing decent relays for users. It doesn’t hit the API endpoint yet, but click get recommendations to see an example output.

https://nostrgraph.net/relay_recommendation
quotingYour relays don’t just matter based on who you follow. Here’s what else relay choice impacts
nevent1q…sxae
* your personal timeline (with replies)
* your event publish reach to your followers
* your inbound DMs
* your outbound DMs
* your notifications
* any global timeline
* event relay hints you reply to or view threads
And the right relays today are likely different in a week - at least for a number of reasons. The best relay to publish a specific event is different between events (a sent DM is different from a global feed note, different again a reply on a poorly replicated event).
Relay selection is a deceptively complex topic. Any overly simplistic autopilot is likely a step backwards for users experience.
Quick spruik.. if you’d like to download your Nostr events as a backup, you can check this out. Been getting lots of requests the past week or so, but haven’t posted I’m a while. Likely lots of new people who may find it useful.

fiatjaf (npub180c…h6w6) contributes to the relay conversation by shilling a few of his favorite go to 🧷“safer”🧷 relays.
Safer Nostr relays (good for filtering out spam on replies and global feed):
- wss://eden.nostr.land, 5000 sat fee
- wss://nostr.milou.lol, 1000 sat fee
- wss://nostr.member.cash, requires 2+ internal score
- wss://relay.minds.com/nostr/v1/ws, just minds.com users
dtonon (npub1000…vwqk) send Nostr notes over sms? sms2nostr is a proof of concept allowing people to post notes on Nostr via sms, including feature phones and IoT devices… is there a use case for Nostr + LN over sms ⚡️? jack (npub1sg6…f63m) does this bring back memories?
Thank you for the ideas!
As stated on the project page enabling SMS send (easy but can be expansive without a proper setup) would open the possibility to a in/out channels communication, so a lot of more applications aimed to support non internet enabled areas are possibile.
Of course Nostr + LN on SMS could be an interesting application... ⚡️🔥
Derek Ross (npub18am…p424) announces NostrPlebs.com adding user profiles soon for those registered with their service. Once launched your profile will be found at nostrplebs.com/username
Coming soon-ish to nostrplebs.com: User profiles. Did you register #[2]? Soon you'll be able to tell your friends to find you on Nostr at nosteolebs.com/corndalorian 🤙

MartyBent (npub1guh…6hjy) posts his 🦉insightful🦉 article on the future of nostr. “This is what the "Web 3.0" bros think they're building, but instead it's enabled by open-source protocols that make sense for the use cases and not some Frankenstein blockchain with a speculative token attached to it.”
The more I dig into it, the more potential I see in Nostr's ability to completely disrupt content distribution and monetization.
