2 years of Nostr development.
Zero good clients on Android.
Amethyst is a giant garbage hole constantly producing new features, while the basic functionality and UI still sucks.
Primal is rather good, but slow.
Can Nostr CEO hire a Chinese developer to clone Twitter please 🙄

Don't why, but Amethyst started showing me old notes from 5 days ago, needed to re-start the app several times until it starts showing the recent notes.

It would be useful to have an indicator in the app whether it's on tor or clearnet, so I can be sure about what connections I'm using.

On the other side you have to monitor that Orbot is indeed running on the system, and not closed or crashed.
Sometimes, rarely, Orbot just closes.

Arti is another Tor library for Rust developers.
Any dev working on Nostr rust clients could use to utilize Tor network.
Amethyst just recently enabled native Tor support.
Next step is to use Tor on all other clients by default.

That "show more" button is super annoying, you have to click to see the complete post and then be disappointed with the contents, I would prefer just to scroll something I don't want to read.
The button is everywhere. Too wide. Blocking the view of the contents.

1984.
You will be allowed to use only government approved relays.
Notes and other stuff will be censored.
You will go in jail for using unapproved relays.
Tor is not allowed.
VPNs are only for corporations using them for their work, only approved VPNs are eligible.
You are allowed to exchange Bitcoin only on CEXs.

So I can switch relays with one click by switching accounts (every account has different set of relays).
So it would be possible to distinguish what relays you are using by looking what account is active currently.
To not accidentally post something stupid or private to public relays.

The idea of open source protocols is that anyone can start freely building on it without anyones permission.
If there are none left willing to continue Damus development, then another iOS client will appear with another dev coding it.
It's hard to shutdown decentralized development, you have to chase every developer distributed across different countries/jurisdictions.
Until people find Nostr useful, it will be very hard, almost impossible, to shutdown the network.

Sure. Relaying things only to whitelisted npubs and ignoring all the rest.
Also your relay is free of unwanted data, only for your homies.
You could even host your personal relay on your home network just for personal notes and other stuff 😁

I love endless constant inflation, it's the most fair way to distribute the coins without early users advantage. In comparison, Bitcoin distributed 13% of the total supply in the first year.
The downside of the decision is that NgU doesn't work for Grin, yet (inflation tends to zero). So the community is rather small.
CoinSwap is a method of mixing the UTXOs to break the linkability.
Grin is focused on scalability, but also has hidden amounts and no addresses, but UTXOs can be traced by active sniffing node, so CoinSwap should help with this issue.

The fact that we can use Tor on Nostr without limits is underrated.
On other platforms you can be asked to solve captchas, shadowbanned or even completely banned. Mainstream social networks don't like Tor.

On point 2)
Would it make more sense on forcing me clicking on HOME button at the bottom? Show me I have new posts at the top and force me to click at the bottom HOME button (or both ways), so it would be almost the same UI as on X, except auto scroll.

Thank you for Primal app, it suits me the best.
But here are the things which annoys me a bit:

2) I should always click on the button at the top of the app when new posts appeared, would be nice to have X/Twitter UI here, just show the new posts without the need on clicking any buttons

If other relays would not write your notes, then run your own relay.
The decentralization here is that everyone can run a relay and be part part of the global network.
You have been banned from one relay but you are still participating in the network. Imagine if you would be blocked on Twitter, would it be possible? No.
On Mastodon you would be able to register on another instance, but with completely new user, losing all your notes and followers.

Marathon miner February report. Added 19000 miners, sold 650 BTC.
“We successfully energized nearly 19,000 Bitcoin miners across multiple facilities in February, with over 8,000 of these units consisting of S19 XPs,” said Fred Thiel, Marathon’s chairman and CEO. “During the month, we increased our hash rate to 9.5 exahashes, a 30% increase from the prior month. We also increased our average bitcoin produced per day by 10% compared to January, producing 683 bitcoin in February.
“We opted to sell 650 bitcoin this month to offset operating expenses and for general corporate purposes. Even with these sales, we increased our unrestricted bitcoin holdings from 8,090 bitcoin as of January 31, 2023, to 8,260 bitcoin, valued at $191.2 million as of February 28, 2023. Additionally, we increased our unrestricted cash on hand to $219.7 million.
“To continue advancing our operations and improve efficiency, our primary focus this year is to energize more miners and to optimize our fleet’s performance. We remain confident in our ability to scale Marathon into one of the largest and most energy efficient Bitcoin mining operations globally by installing approximately 23 exahashes of computing power near the middle of 2023.”
