Alhamdulilah! This went well. Lots of questions about nostr and how it works. I shilled them noornote since it was easy to get started with. My message seemed to have resonated with the folks in the Webinar. There were about 20 people listening in.

I'm gonna be giving a 10 minute presentation about nostr this Saturday
Does anyone have a quick blog post or video introduction that I could base mine off of?
Because of how short this is, I think I'll just mention briefly how nostr is different from LSM, how it's open source, how identity is tied to public/private keys and not stored on someone's server, briefly how relays work, and zaps of course.

It's actually worse than just being stubborn about their approach. They made a few posts and essays explaining why fiat is halal but USDT is haram.... Yeah, I kid you not.
For these kinds of people, it's just best to mock them. The only reason I still go on LSM.

It's quite interesting that, lately, certain groups within the Islamic finance space have started speaking against fractional reserve banking and fiat money, essentially using bitcoiner language (which to be fair, was stolen from gold bugs) to promote their fiat products. But they still operate within the Riba money regime. They're only attempting to hijack the latest counter-culture language without actually offering a way out.

What a great listen!
@npub165p…lmws and @npub13nz…fmue explore the influences Islam had on the rise of 'sound capitalism' and how the West, in large part, has lost its way. They discuss how Muslims in the West must leverage their community strength rather than succumbing to the interest-based (riba) distortions of Western capitalism. The entrepreneurial spirit of Muslims needs to be reactivated to build an alternative economic system based on sound money.

"Digital money in its various forms is probably the weakest link at this point. Most of the other pieces are operational, at least in basic forms, but digital cash is (understandably) harder to deploy. Hobbyist or “toy” experiments have been cumbersome, and the “toy” nature is painfully obvious. It is not easy to use digital cash systems at this time (“To use Magic Money, first create a client ...”), especially as compared to the easily understood alternatives. People are understandably reluctant to entrust actual money to such systems. And it’s not yet clear what can be bought with digital cash (a chicken or egg dilemma that is likely to be resolved in the next several years). Digital cash, digital banks, etc., are a likely target for legislative moves to limit the deployment of crypto anarchy and digital economies. Whether through banking regulation or tax laws, it is not likely that digital money will be deployed easily (“Kids, don’t try this at home!”)." - Tim May, 1994

I really do believe that nostr (and bitcoin) will eventually win. I believe that with all of my soul. Bringing the masses here is just not gonna be the answer. Like you said, it will bring a lot of shit, shit that we're trying to get rid of.
We, the early nostr adopters, but really the devs, need to continue setting the "toxic" environment and "do it yourself" sovereign culture here so that when the competent of the masses do arrive, they have that desire to want to transform into something better. Nostr should be optimized to be a machine that efficiently transforms fiat man into vicegerent man, but it should also be an annoyingly bright beacon that attracts certain newcomers that have that desire to want to change.

I mostly agree with this. I think your critique touches on something real.
But the fact that there are too many clients and relays, too many ways to do the same thing is not necessarily the problem, I think, that is kind of the whole point. You can build whatever you want here, arrange your experience however you want, create your own little village or bazaar or weird cyber cult in the middle of this protocol wasteland, and that should be celebrated instead of treated like a design flaw because people have been trained by legacy social media (LSM) to expect the digital equivalent of a theme park ride where everything is prearranged for them.
But yes, there is a cultural problem, and I think it comes from the fact that Nostr people are often too passive and too afraid of making the place feel like an “echo chamber”.
We should be open enough to invite in other strange, fringe, misfit cultures, artists, writers, dissidents, religious weirdos, Bitcoiners, cypherpunks, schizoposters, builders, and whoever else feels suffocated by the LSM machine, but not so open that everyone just drags in the same habits, language, dependency, outrage rituals, and algorithm brain rot that made those platforms spiritually dead in the first place. Nostr does not need one centralized narrative, but it does need stronger cultural gravity to attract fringe narratives. It needs people willing to actually stand for something, build and shape those aesthetics around sovereignty in cyber, make the place feel alive, and stop acting like neutrality means having no taste, no identity, no boundaries, no immune system, etc.
There's no toxicity here. It's counterintuitive, but that's the problem I think.

Brilliant post by Sheikh Spiker.
Hard for me to explain but I think he's circling around an idea that can only find its true expression on Nostr.
I mean it's no coincidence that the most active Muslims on this protocol are western reverts. High signal in that fact that unfortunately I'm not quite knowledgeable enough to expound on why that's happening.
The idea that the sheikh is talking about might be something that we'll one day need to use our stacked bitcoin to help fund.

Great video by @nprofile…h34j but I have some thoughts to share.
If we really do care about Bitcoin culture, then we need to be honest about why it’s dying.
This "culture" had its origins from cypherpunk spaces, forums, IRC channels, mailing lists, pseudonymous blogs, and other virtual communities (https://nakamotoinstitute.org/library/virtual-communities/) that had enough sovereignty to actually cultivate a culture instead of having one algorithmically imposed on them.
Even when Bitcoin later spread onto Reddit and Twitter, the culture had already been formed elsewhere first. What we’re seeing now is that culture being dissolved inside engagement maximizing doomscroll goyslop machines specifically constructed to flatten attention spans and completely derail meaningful discourse. It deliberately keep users psychologically dependent, passive, and easily manipulated.
Yes, toxic Bitcoin maximalism used to function as a cultural immune system. Now much of “Bitcoin culture” is downstream from force fed recommendation algorithms owned by fiat fueled corporations fundamentally hostile to Bitcoin itself.
So it's a little hypocritical to claim that consensus is downstream from culture while allowing the primary spaces where that culture forms to be entirely owned and managed by hostile platform operators.
If Bitcoiners like @nprofile…h34j actually care about preserving Bitcoin culture, then they should be actively cultivating it in more neutral and sovereign spaces, specifically Nostr, where users can shape the environment instead of merely renting access to it.
Think about it. Bitcoin culture cannot thrive inside a hyper optimized algorithmic slop casino constantly hijacking attention, suppressing independent thought, and dissolving any strong form of assabiyya (https://www.britannica.com/topic/clan) before it can mature. A culture built around sovereignty eventually has to care about sovereign communication too because that is the domain in which is lives and thrives.
Otherwise the culture just gets absorbed, pacified, and reshaped into something safe for the very systems Bitcoin was supposed to resist!

But to be honest I don't see them as an "enemy", they're just adjacent. I mean sure, a lot of their essays are political/economic essays that are very Keynesian in flavor, but they write and talk about topics that are important that Muslim academics/scholars won't engage with much.
Many (almost all) Kasurian readers and writers do care about sovereignty, but they care more about it at the national level. I think they would be open to us explaining how we approach individual/communal sovereignty via digital hijra. They invited us to write something! We could use that opportunity to bring more of those folks over to Nostr. They just need to be nudged in the right direction...

Link to the garbage essay for anyone that wants to read it:
https://kasurian.com/p/twilight-of-mammon
So the strangest thing about the essay is that it presents itself as a critique of the Austrian School, but never really engages Austrian Economics methodology. There is no engagement with praxeology, subjective value, economic calculation, time preference, interventionism, capital theory, or monetary theory. Predictably, the phrase “human action” does not appear once, which is not a small omission when dealing with a school of thought that explicitly grounds economics in purposeful human action under conditions of scarcity. Instead, the essay gives us a very flimsy and sweeping genealogy of neoliberalism, chicago monetarism, IMF, prediction markets, silicon Valley, Yarvin, Milei, Thatcher, Reagan, billionaire tech politics, and specifically "Bitcoin Maximalists", and then places all of it under the broad category of Austrian “market theology.” This makes for a half baked narrative and it does not amount to any semblance of a critique of Austrian methodology.
The largest conceptual problem is that the essay collapses Austrian econ into neoliberalism, and then collapses neoliberalism into the entire post-1971 fiat financial order. This is where the argument becomes deeply unstable. The Austrian tradition, especially the Mises-Rothbard-Hoppe line, has been one of the most radical critics of central banking, fiat money, credit expansion, inflationism, politically manipulated interest rates, and the high time preference modern economy driven by bailout after bailout. Yet the essay repeatedly treats the failures of this fiat order as if they are the natural fruits of Austrian economics itself. This is almost exactly backwards! An Austrian would look at financialization, housing speculation, stagnant wages, IMF debt traps, central bank interventions etc etc and would say that, yes, this is what happens when money is centralized and politicized and credit is severed from real savings and actual real production. I mean, sure, the essay is right to see something deeply corrupt in the current order, but it misidentifies the source of that corruption. The problem is not that markets have been allowed to function too freely (anyone who has experience in starting a business can tell you that this is not the case). The problem is that money, banking, and capital allocation have been captured by state-backed financial institutions and insulated from real market discipline.
This is also why the essay’s treatment of “the market” feels more theological than the Austrian position it is attacking. Austrian econ does not require anyone to worship “the Market” as some kind of oracle that reveals moral truth. The market is simply the emergent result of acting persons making exchanges according to their subjective valuations. Prices communicate information because they condense dispersed knowledge about scarcity, demand, opportunity cost, entrepreneurial judgment, etc. That is not a claim that the market replaces God or that market outcomes determine human worth. It is a claim about the limits of centralized knowledge and the impossibility of rational economic calculation without real prices.
And the author seems to mistake epistemic humility for idolatry. Hayek’s knowledge problem, whatever else one thinks of Hayek’s broader anthropology, is not saying the market is sacred. It is saying that no planner can possess the knowledge embedded in millions of individual choices. It is quite stupid to call this Mammon. That is just the basic reality of scarcity (though I guess this could offend certain modern intellectuals that have a fetish for wanting to organize society by a centralized committee)
Anyway, the essay also leans heavily on guilt by association. Yes, Sarrazin invokes time preference for his racist rhetoric or whatever, and Yarvin does quote Mises and Hoppe, and Milei claims he follows Rothbard (despite him being very pro fiat and a raging pro-war zionist), and Peter Thiel is "pro free markets", and therefore the Austrian School is treated as the common metaphysical root of every unpleasant political development on the right. But this is not an argument, and it is certainly not an argument against Austrian economics. It is a weak and selective political genealogy. Bad or controversial people can use true concepts badly. Time preference, for example, is not an ethnic ranking system. It is a universal category of action. Human beings prefer satisfaction sooner rather than later, all else equal, and different institutional arrangements and applications can raise or lower time preference across society. This is not a "far right" or a racist statement. Sure, time preference could be abused by someone trying to pathologize a population, but the abuse does not invalidate the concept.
In fact, from an Islamic or anti-fiat perspective, time preference is one of the most useful tools for understanding how riba, debt, inflation, and consumer credit systems degrade moral and economic life. If someone weaponizes the concept against Muslims, the answer is not to discard the concept. The answer is to use it properly.
And the Social Darwinism charge is another place where the essay relies more on structural resemblance than actual theoretical engagement. It says Social Darwinism believes nature selects winners, while Austrian economics believes markets select winners, and therefore Austrian economics is basically moral Darwinism. But market selection does not equate to biological selection or racial hierarchy. In Austrian econ, profit and loss are not cosmic judgments about which peoples deserve to exist. They are feedback mechanisms that reveal whether scarce resources are being used in ways that consumers actually value. A failed business does not mean the owner is spiritually inferior. It means he misjudged demand, costs, timing, or competition. I mean there might be places where early liberal and Austrian thinkers used civilizational language that could deserve criticism, maybe, but to move from that to the claim that Austrian economic theory itself is a colonial sorting machine is a very large leap. It attempts to refute a moral claim when no such claim was being made.
And lastly I keep coming back to the suspicious use of “Bitcoin maximalists” which is grouped together with market theology believers alongside New Right populists with hedge-fund and silicon Valley libertarians. It is interesting that the author specifically chose Bitcoin maximalists rather than those involved in crypto, because if there is any group in the broader digital asset world that has consistently criticized financial nihilism, insider games, VC extraction, fiat speculation, Cantillon effects, and the endless casino of tokenized nonsense, it is Bitcoin maximalists. Crypto is much easier to place inside the essay’s critique of Mammon where we do see endless tokens, artificial scarcity, insider allocations, yield schemes, fiat induced financialized hype cycles, and the conversion of everything into speculative instrument. Bitcoin maximalism, at its best, is a rejection of that entire logic! It is a critique of fiat money, not an intensification of it. So the lumping together is revealing.
The essay sees the disorder of the post-1971 financial world, but because it misreads Austrian economics and sound money thinking as the source of the disease, it ends up grouping some of the strongest critics of that system with the very forces they are criticizing. That is the basic problem running through the whole piece, is that it sees real pathologies, but keeps aiming at the wrong target.

I didn't really appreciate this until recently as you're describing your experience building noornote.
Open source is just way way better security, and privacy obviously, compared to closed source counterparts.

Thank you guys for all that you do. YakiHonne is one of my top 3 favorite nostr clients. And there are hundreds of them!!

One of the most common criticisms people throw at Digital Hijrah is that some app recommended on the site has a vulnerability or a possible back door or security flaw or whatever. But that criticism completely misses the point.
Digital Hijrah was never meant to be a magical final destination where you install the “perfect” software stack and suddenly become untouchable and immune to the Riba surveillance regime. It is a process of migration, of continuous discipline and adaptation.
I mean even if tomorrow you had the most secure messaging app ever created or whatever, do you think the architects of the Riba surveillance machine are just going to shrug their shoulders and give up?
These systems are constantly evolving because the incentives behind them are freaking enormous!
It turns out that, in our high time preference economy, surveillance and behavioral manipulation is profitable! And capturing and monetizing human attention is also profitable!
So yes, the first iterations of sovereign tools will have weaknesses and the later iterations will too.
Let go of this idea of perfection. The point is iterative resistance and gradual sovereignty. Again, it is a process! We refine the tools, harden the infrastructure, improve our habits, developing the self, and keep moving forward instead of passively accepting digital captivity because the battle isn’t perfectly solved yet.
Niggas really do be expecting a "downloadDigitalHijrah.sh” button or something.

Good podcast. Love listening to Sheikh Spiker.
I really liked that he focused on the individual and the developing of the self when talking about the current state of the Muslim Ummah.
Actually very relevant in how we can conceive of the base metaphysical layer of Digital Hijrah

I really like the 11 categories. My initial reaction was that it may be too many and will feel overwhelming and disorganized, but having thought about it for a while I think it's good that we have more rather than fewer. Good to just throw everything at the wall and see what sticks. I definitely foresee some shuffling as we get feedback from folks that are making the hijrah.

Legacy social media is dying. They can take away your reach, or change your algorithm feed, or straight up suspend you.
Nostr will win inshaAllah

I feel like I'm at that stage too where the surface level orange pilling is getting boring. The best part of the summit was talking to like minded brothers about what's being built and what should be built and where this is all going. Lots of late night conversations.

This really is one of the main advantages of nostr as compared to LSM, and it doesn't have too much to do with the technical differences, but directly with the level and quality of engagement with the tribe that you associate with
The weird and almost paradoxical nature of the engagement on nostr is that yes, you get higher quality engagement but it also comes with getting more money than you could ever get on LSM
Of course this mainly applies to us plebs and not LSM attention-extracting parasitic influencers with hundreds of thousands of followers. The effect would likely be the opposite in that they would get paid way less, if at all, and they would get way way less engagement.

Facts. Mass marketing simply won't help much with building nostr.

I think when someone gets started in Bitcoin, they should spend a few months learning how to save first. Like acquire the discipline to save and manage custody properly. Diligently DCA for a few months or years. It'll help orient you toward low time preference.
Once you've acquired that saving discipline, then focus on figuring out how to spend.
I'm pro spending bitcoin, but I advocate learning how to save first

That's interesting about the identities being stored on servers. That's a underrated advantage of nostr I suppose.
You raise another interesting point about which one helps grow "communities." sounds like Mastodon isn't specifically geared toward finding your tribe.
Yeah, maybe I should just use mastadon and see how it goes. That comparison needs to be written about.

Is there an essay or video that compares Nostr vs Mastadon? That's often a question I get when introducing nostr, what makes Nostr better than Mastadon? #asknostr
