lol. That would be a very first world version of an apocalypse. Gaza is far closer to a real apocalypse.

Short version of a long story is that 5 months ago I had a stroke which interrupted my Nostr work. I’m kinda just getting back to it now.

One issue with the relay seems to be payment. I’m in NY, so can’t use what most relay owners use (ZBD). I thought I had another solution working, but need to test it more.

Feel free to hit me up with specific questions/problems.

Tomorrow is naked hiking day, so go for it!

I have yet to meet some who says that who truly “loves the sinner”. Not saying they don’t exist, but…

On my priority list is a website that just sets them up, explains things to them, and then hands them off to a full-fledged client.

They’re used to web interfaces. I can set up their profile, their relays, their NIP-05, and a starter follow list, and even guide them through setting up for Lightning.

The idea is they don’t need to understand any of those terms to get set up.

BTW, Nostr really needs a style manual where we define better terms than “NIP-05 validation”…

Q: How long to do allow new users to use welcome.nostr.wine?

(I responded from the wrong account… Sorry if that seems confusing. I'll also be doing 2 years for this account in a week or two…)

Does now long you've had the sats in your wallet have any effect?

Yesterday I did USD → BTC in Cash App then did Cash App → WoS. Then immediately tried to buy the filter.wine renewal. And it failed.

Initially I was doing Iris on my Mac, paying with QR code from my phone. Tried that a few times. Then tried from Damus, but Damus tried to open Cash App, so I copy and pasted the invoice details into WoS, but it failed. Tried again a few hours later failed then too.

This morning I tried again and it worked fine .

I’m also having NOS crash a lot. Let me know how to get and submit the logs.

I run the beta of iOS, so I've been through a number of RSR updates the past few months. It's actually a really good idea.
