Nostr is suffering something like the Linux distro effect. Every nostr client attracts a niche of people (just like a distro), but we always feel like in permanent beta. Of course it's a great protocol, and yes, you feel free. The good news is X is busted. General news now run on Bluesky, and tech news go Mastodon. Nostr is for nostr stuff, and some sort of Bitcoin gossip. What has to change, I don't know. Right now, here we are, with Linux for hobby, windows for work, and three different networks for three different purposes.

The cake looks good after 30', but it started shrinking as soon as I took it out of the oven https://image.nostr.build/43f0ea03a1995a2b29606d52819009388a4e5e01d32ac19296371b531afb95e1.jpg

Pa de pessic (pinch bread) is how we call it in Catalan, but for this specific recipe with no yeast, in Spanish we call it bizcocho genovés (Genovese cake)

You recipe has almost twice the eggs (genovese recipe uses 4 eggs for 120g of both flour and sugar), so yours should be more spongy. I couldn't wait trying it (in the oven right now).

I found this interesting article *La torta o pasta genovese (pâte génoise) non è un pan di Spagna* https://www.lacucinaitaliana.it/news/in-primo-piano/pan-di-spagna-storia/

The Blockchain paradox
- It's decentralized, but relays or nodes are unaffordable for average individuals, so it ends up being somehow concentrated.
- It's based on implicit trust by signature, but users feel free and anonymous.
- Value is transferred directly between individuals, but it remains on a common ledger.
- There's complete transparency of what is transferred, and at the same time a considerable opacity of who is in charge.
- It's a volatile value, but holders feel like it's safer than most traditional values.
- There are practically no trolls in a medium with no central censorship!
