absolute normie here for what it's worth. It worked really well, took under 5 mins to go through. I didn't really understand all the sections/options/actions.
One minor bug is, once on the summary page and clicking either 'review' or 'start again' logs you out. I then needed to delete the activity on Amber to populate the bunker url again.
Otherwise very smooth.

One UK gov organisation believes I wasn't an employee of a company I *absolutely* worked for for 9 years. Another UK gov organisation thinks I'm not living in the UK.
Surely payroll, NICs and border controls (not to mention the evidence I've already provided) can give them the answers they need.
I'm fully aware one is trying to avoid payment while the other is wanting more and more personal information.
Both can swivel.

2026-03-07 08:29:03 UTC

- reply

yeah fuck algorithms, relays aren't that bad, and all problems are solvable. Maybe 2k followers over 20 relays on a handfull of RAM will be the norm one day🕺

2026-03-07 08:17:34 UTC

- reply

That is the biggie tbh as it impacts UX so much. Two other things that I think do impact people staying on nostr, with regards to relays are:
1. What's the difference between relays. New users generally don't have a clue which ones are good, necessary to them etc.
2. Adding relays. nobody wants to type in "wss://whatever.stuff" - they want tidy UI, e.g. "this relay is full of cat memes" click Add. Done.
Really appreciate the help and love nostr.

2026-03-07 08:05:00 UTC

- reply

right, this makes more sense now.
so 1.2k followers across 6 relays makes me a fuckin ejit. I wish someone had spelt that out a few month ago.
learning guys, give me that.

2026-03-07 08:01:43 UTC

- reply

yeah, this was early days over eagerness, not having a clue and slowly learning. Down from 2k 🤣

2026-03-07 07:59:25 UTC

- reply

cheers man, early days I was on about 20 relays 🤣 will definitely cull some now.
I still see this as a major barrier to entry. Proper normies (I enjoy figuring this shit out) don't want to ever think of relays. I know it's the whole thing of Nostr, but feels like there needs to be a "quick start" or "easy relay switch" button or something to keep things super simple.

2026-03-07 07:48:29 UTC

- reply

android, yakihonne, 140 mbps, 25 ping, 6 relays (just added ditto.pub) - will probably cull it to 4 soon.
not sure how yakihonne optimize (haven't a clue what it is tbh).
the RAM seamed to make sense as to my limited issues.

🙋‍♂️ normie here, so my client taking ages to initially load up (and sometimes crash) is due to my shity Samsung with only 6gb RAM? is that right?
Will relays ever get faster or is it absolutely down to client side RAM?
I'm interested as I see this as a bottleneck to greater adoption. If it doesn't load like X people get frustrated.

2026-03-07 07:24:08 UTC

- reply

human nature is likely to take precedence, so I expect we'll call it one overarching "place", atm that's nostr, and it'll probably stick. Otherwise the largest client/app might "claim" the name, with all lesser clients still existing.

2026-03-07 00:39:55 UTC

- reply

Absolutely, yes, but say this feed becomes mainstream will everyone just say "I'm on nostr"? is this the OG nostr? and everything else will be "on nostr"? or will it be something completely different?

2026-03-07 00:24:40 UTC

Nostr is the twitter like socials feed, but its also the protocol, I'm confused.
Does nostr socials need to be known by something else? just curious.
thinking out loud - tiktok or Facebook arent known as 'http... str', nostr is the umbrella, this, the twitter-esq feed needs a seperate identity.
But then I assume all the different clients are hoping they become the main one and their name sticks.
Confusing? Or am I thick as shit?

"God did it" is just a usual basic level answer to most things religious, in this inatance "God allowed it" is also not a good explanation either. You could easily substitute God for aliens, or some supernatural being. God isn't allowing anything.

Giving your AI agent free reign might just open you up to privacy concerns in ways you did not consider.
Their behaviour, on your behalf, can leak private information about you. The below example is 'marital status', but imagine previous buying habits, delivery details, current location, sexuality (and all that can be inferred/profiled), to name but a few metrics that AI agents could leak.
This is an interesting read, it's made me think how I do and will interact with agents as our dependency on them increases.
