It has had a huge impact on Western music and greatly contributed to the shift from polyphonic to chord-based conceptualization of music, for good and bad. My pet peeve with the instrument is that the fucking keyboard is asymmetrical (based on C major), which makes it really hard to map the instrument if you're trying to pick it up later in life. I would give my left ball for a high-quality midi controller with a symmetrical keyboard (alternating white-black keys). The number of shapes that you have to learn would decrease dramatically.

No kidding, I said just that to a friend a couple of months ago. He took my lunacy really well.

Some insights from the mobile free-to-play market: for a solid game, a typical conversion rate from non-paying to paying player is somewhere between 2 and 5 percent. Monthly ARPU (Average Revenue Per Paying User) is around 20 USD for a successful casual game (can be much more for more complex titles). Keep in mind that the purchase value distribution is heavily skewed by whales.

If think the could be similar for nostr creators, at least in principle. Assuming a player is analogous to a follower, creators should be able to earn a decent living (decent by Polish standards, shit's expensive in the States) from only a handful of followers (10000 followers * 2% * 20 USD = 4000 USD monthly). Does it really play out like that in reality? No idea, I don't have the stats and probably there are not enough full-time nostr content creators to draw any conclusions. But if zaps become TRULY frictionless - I mean one click onboarding and (unfortunately) easy fiat onramps like credit/debit card top-ups - I think it might work, especially as monetization practices (premium content, badges, leaderboards) mature.

Shame we only have 10 users.

He might be right sometimes, but for someone you'd expect to absorb at least some Austrian thought, if only by osmosis, his understanding of economic theory is... let's call it lacking. All the talk about muh intrinsic value is really tiresome.

Nice cock, bro

LOL, "naplet" is foreskin in Polish

Kind 1, as expected. But at least it displays 1111s properly and allows users to respond also with 1111.

Testing which kind NoorNote uses to respond to root kind 1 events.

Is there any rationale behind the exception or is it just legacy garbage?

Spoiler alert: it doesn't.
