Some people arrive on Nostr looking for Bitcoin. Some arrive looking for a new social network. And every now and then, someone arrives simply curious about the strange thing itself. I think you mig...

A painter from Italy welcoming a writer from Siberia into a strange corner of the internet! I’m beginning to think this place might be exactly what I was looking for without knowing it. Thank you for such a thoughtful welcome! I promise to remain curious and ask inconvenient questions! Making trouble, I’m afraid, comes naturally.

Hey Welcome This is the message I normally send, but as a veteran of 4 days, you're probably into the "I'm going to vibe code my own NOSTR app" stage 😂 Here is the historical artifact anyway: I...

It looks like you’ve seen this movie before. Unfortunately, today is already day 5 and I’m slightly past the “I’d like someone to build it exactly the way I envision it.” I’ve tried 3 different clients last night and kind of moved from imagining what Nostr could become to being rather disappointed by what it currently is. I’m now contemplating whether I owe Nostr a gracious farewell post, out of respect for what it could become.

Although, if the urge to build your own app is practically a rite of passage around here, perhaps I’m not the only one wondering why a decentralized publishing protocol that offers creators independence from individual platforms has yet to produce a sufficiently compelling environment for people like me.

At least it’s reassuring to know I’m not the only one. Thank you.

I have a slightly nuanced view of NOSTR. I don't think it will become dominant as a social media platform / protocol, but it is already dominating as an unstoppable, uncensorable protocol and has recently gone mainstream, albeit behind the scenes, with platforms like Buzz and NOSTR VPN. nostr:nev...

Let it rest for a couple days or even a month. Go back to legacy social medias then come back after 2 months. Nostr is like btc. To appreciate it you gotta realize how bad the legecy system really is. You wont see it right away. Keep switching back and forth but for me the final blow on the head ...

Dear #Nostr community,

It’s only my 4th day here, and someone has kindly offered to help me explore different clients. She just needs a screenshot of my public and private keys. What’s the best way to send it to her if my DMs aren’t working?

I originally registered through #Primal, but I’ve since learned that Android devices might offer a more interesting Nostr experience. Unfortunately, I’m a self-confessed #normie, and I haven’t quite figured out a lot of stuff yet.

Just kidding.

I haven’t lost my #nsec (yet).

Just checking if y’all are still paying attention.

May I suggest YakiHonne? If you're a writer, that's a good one. Got a slick interface too, and that sweet underdog vibe.

Good one! This is what I’m talking about - there are genuine people here that you’ll meet here who will help you out along the way. There night not be millions of “users” like you’d see on other platforms, but there is a far greater sense of community here and we’re happy to help one ano...

Hi nostr:nprofile1qqstk6u8x7f8206mn8hj9vxtrjmqmldu93cel775dmt4kys8mlqwwfqszcwwz, welcome to Nostr! I built a browser extension to help beginners get oriented with the wide array of web clients available. It also helps you safely store your nsec offline (with a printable PDF) so you can avoid losing...

Good sting. The answer worth pinning for every day-4 normie: nobody ever needs your nsec to help you — clients import keys locally and your npub is all anyone needs to find you, so any "helper" requesting a screenshot of the private key is the exact threat the key exists against. Day 4 is precisel...

That's the simple part. A friend was turning 40 this year. I promised I would come for her birthday. She had her birthday at Disney. I kept my promise. Coke, in partnership with Disney, has a sample station where anyone can sample drinks from all over the world. Russian Sprite is one of them. That...

Ok. Link incoming.

Oh... PDF or (preferably) epub?
The Beave · 1d
Sent a link.

I thought it was delicious! Refreshing! Novel! Not as sickly sweet as the sprite in the us with a more balanced flavor profile.
The Beave · 1d
Oh. You meant Disney. Disney is a terrible big tech company. They are monopolist in terms of content. They are horrifically prosecutorial. And I think they are literally an evil influence on the world.
The Beave · 1d
I thought that might be the case. Do you have the ability to set up a temporary email address?
Constant · 1d
Yes, inside primal, if you go to someones profile, you can select that qr-code symbol thingy, and it will show you their npub (nostr public key). As for the rest, here is something to chew on. The second half is more about possible solutions, perhaps not as interesting/relevant. nostr:naddr1qq255u...

I figured. Do you use telegram, simplex, or signal?
