Good afternoon.

I published a new long-form article on Nostr on my homepage, to help inform people about all the cool things people are building here.

I'm going to go over it a few more times before I promote it on my other socials and email lists in the coming days (Nostr first!), so if anyone has any feedback, I can still potentially incorporate it.

Enjoy.

Thanks for writing this, Lyn! If it’s cool with you, I’d love to read this out loud on nostr:npub10qrssqjsydd38j8mv7h27dq0ynpns3djgu88mhr7cr2qcqrgyezspkxqj8

I’m 1/3 of the way though and it’s an excellent article. I was explaining nostr to my best friend and his girlfriend this morning, and described it very much the same way. Your focus on interoperability is key - that’s what makes nostr the “everything killer”, because it doesn’t have to...

I’ll read it, but I have a question. Do you know why we’re not allowed to follow as many people as we want? I noticed some of the relays begin malfunctioning if you follow too many people. Am I being disconnected from them, because they think I’m a bot?

Fun Fact: "When you use email, you are typically using a client built on top of a communication protocol called Simple Mail Transfer Protocol or “SMTP”. As a user, you don’t need to interact with the technical details of SMTP directly; you just need to know how to use your webmail client app...

Lyn, I love it and I'm almost done reading it now. Great writing and very easy to digest and I'm sure it'll be widely appreciated by everyone 😀. #BTC #Zap⚡#Nostr #JulianAssangeIsFree 🔥🚀

Lyn Alden on Nostr all the time! Been following you for years and amazing to see everything.

thanks for the post and the promotion of nostr. ❤️ 💜 the global state sync can be achieved by 'tree of relays': https://highlighter.com/a/naddr1qvzqqqr4gupzp8lvwt2hnw42wu40nec7vw949ys4wgdvums0svs8yhktl8mhlpd3qqxnzdejxqmnqde5xqeryvej5s385z

great article Lyn, you hit the sweet spot of technical while still approachable.

Justin Buzzard · 82w

Thank you. This is helpful. Will send this to friends. Question for you: Is it true that you cannot delete a note/post on Nostr (due to content being on multiple relays)?

this is great, i shared it outside of nostr

Good stuff. Going to send this to some normie friends. 👊🫂⚡️

Why would Primal need any level of personal information to create a lightning wallet... absolutely absurd! https://cdn.satellite.earth/83bd43a77a4d162da467c402e97c7ca043ee20aa404a8c79f560fbc1e59d8cbb.png

Great read. You really have a gift for putting things into a practical perspective.

Laan Tungir · 82w

Lyn that was fantastic. Best case I've read for #nostr. I thought your point on a decentralized payment graph was great. I also enjoy the technical level you right at. There aren't many writers writing at that level as good as you are.

Daryn Cavalier · 82w

Amazing to consider how immature we are as a species to rely on permissioned third party providers to facilitate the exchange of value. The potential that Bitcoin and nostr unlock within the human race as we realize the ability to create and exchange value between one another is something I hope I...

Hi Lyn, great read as usual from your hand! Question: if one switches client does it keep your wallet? Or do you need a fresh wallet for every client? Maybe you can add a little information about that, as it is important to know before you switch client or want to use multiple. Two spelling mistak...

great article, thanks!

Excellent, Lyn, thank you so much for this help!!!
