I'm convinced the main reason why nostr fails to grow is the strong association to bitcoin. #nostr is a separate entity, that has nothing to do with monetary transactions. Atleast that's the way i see it. I've been around for about 9 months now. I've talked to normies and their leaders, the demographics seem '90s to '80s. People are generally friendly, but things always get stiff when you don't echo the gospel. I wish for better user awareness between purple and orange, you can't have both censorship resistance and a bitcoin-pop-contest. Truth and capital does not blend well. :'-) I wish developers had the guts to offer zap-free clients focusing on social values like maybe independent journalism.

Testing out DALL-E, prompt refining is a good step up from midjourney, visual quality not so much. I was having a discussion about how lightning network works and why there's a receive cap/limit. Towards the end I proposed a metaphor where a channel is a table with coins between two pirates pushing the pile back and forth.

Usually i'm up in flames over this stuff but now I started looking at backporting recoverable publickeys and optional parent signatures, and I feel nothing. Maybe want to puke a littlebit. Some physical exercise and a good night sleep will fix it, but still.. Anyone feeling like this about their own projects?

Recently discovered this band, I knew Japan had jazz, and it's the birthplace of vapourwave, but progrok?? Impressive

💩 I wish I was capable of saying in person:
