I've been on nostr sporadically for almost a year. Not particularly techie, I tried a couple platforms like nostros and I think damus. Now using Iris but still have issues. Can't connect my zapper via Alby, get error messages. If y'all want this adopted, it's got to be easier for old (but willing) guys like me to figure shit out. Suggestions for the easiest platform?? I do run a node and a bit axe miner, so not totally useless! Thx

What node are you using? Maybe try installing Alby Hub on that, with Alby Account it has zapper embedded

I want to coin a word I haven't seen yet...

I agree with most of what you have to say, about everything, although I'm not a potty mouth cause I stayed home with my kids for 10 years. I remain unconvinced that Musk is not racist, I think most people are in some form or another. He has a bigger microphone.

Learning neat and useful stuff and teaching it to others.

I experienced the brain and soul-crushing realities of a daily commute and corporate job, working hard for the goals of others with unclear results, then drowned in mindless television and alcohol.

Managing to break free about 15 years ago, I live a self-directed life, with no alarm clock, trying to learn and teach and always be kind.

It sounds hokey but the Beatles got it right: All you need is Love, for yourself as much as for others.

@Lyn Alden

Really enjoyed your talk today. I most appreciated your description of Bitcoin as a commodity, a money, and a technology. Of course gold has covered the first two, but the last is definitely a new wrinkle.
Also the bit about if you're 'all in' you're not bullish enough is hilarious 😂 Thanks
