Yo 🤙 what does your citrine setup look like? I just downloaded and set it up, learning as i go. So far, it's not taking my notes (although i have authorized this npub and added 1 under kinds, and added it to my relay list).

Testing citrine...
I downloaded, and set this npub as the owner, as well as allowing events from this npub, and added it to my general relay list.
Do i need to set "allowed kinds" for it to function, or is it "accept all unless specifically defined"?
Posting this to see if it works...

hey, my apologies for the slow reply. said gm and promptly left my phone indoors before getting quite busy.
there are definitely some well-established social circles forming/formed, but i have found everyone is more than welcoming if you make a point to talk to them.
it's like the opposite of cliques -- nostr seems to be full of individuals eager to make new connections.
and to that end, it's a pleasure to meet you 🤝 what brought you to nostr?

is there any way to customize Amethyst notifications to make reaction notifications appear, well, differently?
they always look sorta big and i find myseld looking for the reply, but only see my own note, and it throws me. like i think it's just a UI thing, not a bug, just not used to it. but still, would be nice to reduce so it's just "npub liked noteID" rather than the existimg big space it takes up.

Yo, just did some math
At the current energy price (and excluding the upfront CapEx, i.e. ASICs), I am stacking pristine, KYC-FREE sats at an 18% discount to today's market price.
And while price doesn't matter, being able to accumulate more bitcoin-per-labor-hour-worked feels good. Real good.
I heard them described as "wild sats" the other day. I liked that. Gotta catch em all 🫡

2024-09-21 19:33:42 UTC

- reply

reposting for time zones, and because i'm feeling proud of the note 💜
also, since i haven't spent a ton of time engaging, i've found that my following feed (and interactions with my own notes) both tend to feel a bit sleepy
is the best way around this simply to talk to more people, follow more accounts, make more frens, and post better content? i still feel sort of "new" here #introductions
is there any relay reconfiguration i should also consider, if i want a more robust and active Nostr social experience? #asknostr
and as i said, i'm reluctant to use hashtags as a general rule... (they often feel trendy-cringe/cliche, or like engagement farming). but in this case i'm hoping to expand my connections here, so screw it...
finally, are there any "off-the-beaten-path" accounts i should follow, either plebs who are active daily but not particularly well-followed, or any "content creators" that you personally enjoy reading notes from (outside of the bitcoin space because i think i've got that covered LOL)
thanks, Nostr 🤘

i hang on Nostr a lot, but it's rare that i post here.
so, i wanted to take a moment to express my awe and appreciation for the people here.
the devs are building ingenius freedom tools. and fun features.
the plebs (including each unique individual here, side-by-side with many brilliant "large-following-on-twitter-but-here-just-one-of-us" writers and thinkers) all hang out together and manifest this free, funny, and open community.
i would not have expected that an online social space could ever actually regain the respectful, thoughtful, authentic nature of engagement that we've discovered and created here on Nostr.
it's a breath of fresh air, a sight for sore eyes, and i can't fully express how extraordinary this is. thank you - to every one of you.
i'm not normally big on hashtags... but #grownostr and #plebchain feel quite appropriate today 🫂💜⚡🤝🤙

It's an evolution thing - both Darwinian, and spiritual, I'd wager.
Example: the immediate physiological reward from sugar - we just discovered and consumed an intense and highly available form of energy. Good.
But that used to require sticking one's hand into a beehive, or cutting a hole in a maple tree and waiting (etc.), and so we never evolved to process large sugar intake in a healthy way.
Yet it's readily available, everywhere, always. The animal brain wants more. That's natural.
The spiritual (call it what you will) evolution requires disintangling one's action from those desires (and fears), to instead move from a place of self/mindfulness/balance.

Amethyst putting a scrolling video feed as the primary Global experience is very clever. Attract the instagram/tiktok style scrollers.
It also works very smoothly. Couple it with a marketplace for algorithms and you have your feature replacement (improvement!).

When politicians create fiat money, at will, out of thin air, it means the citizens of that country effectively lose their freedom to object to war. If a government must sell war bonds and/or rsise taxes to fund a war, the citizenry will only support it (and buy the bonds, and comply with the tax hikes) if that war poses an existential threat to those people, themselves.
With fiat, governments are incentivized to print money and funnel it into "causes" (whether these causes are righteous or not is beside the point), in order to fund the corporations, lobbyists, super PACs, war industry, etc, who will keep those politicians in power.
The incentives are simply broken.

Facts

How was everybody's weekend?
The halving (my first!) was a bigger deal than I thought it would be. I expected a "NYE ball drop" type of event, with the accompanying anticlimactic end.
Instead, it felt very significant. Bearing witness to an event so fundamental to what Bitcoin is, and why it works, was a profound experience -- and even more so while sharing it with a few other people who also recognize and appreciate the halving's importance.
Oh, and my "computers" don't seem to be making as money as they did last week 🤔

2024-04-14 02:24:29 UTC

New Nostr who dis?
For real though, Amethyst looks awesome, but it's a bit overwhelming... I followed a bunch of people and some of their followers so far.
How do I find conversations or microcommunities built around specific interests, niches, etc.? Can I use relays, or hashtags, for this?
I like music (nearly all kinds), hiking, skiing, reading, bitcoin, martial arts, good movies and tv, yoga and meditation, craft beer and fine wine, economics, traveling, and art (especially traditional Japanese and Mongolian painting/calligraphy). And probably some other stuff, but this should do the trick for now.
Happy to be here!
