The only lack Nostr really has imho are at key times like this where bitcoiners are absolutely dunking on the shitcoiners.
Just have added #Gentoo Linux template to our VPS

Internet connection goes through a router that has been configured with MullvadVPN, on the desktop Obscura VPN is running. Tunnel through tunnel. I don't know if it makes sense, but it feels kind of hacker-ish. 😏

Wish there were more Bitcoiners on here, that run real businesses. It's mostly just Bitcoin investors and influencers pumping their bags, and no real talk on pricing or practical hints about conversion and etc.

The bad news is: the NIP repo has become more of a public humiliation ritual than a useful collaboration tool. The good news is: nobody follows those specs, anyway, so you don't need to waste your time reading them.

You think it would make people mad to make a public Nostr archive that doesn't respect delete requests?

Any recommendations for onboarding newbies?
Recently I have convinced one friend to join nostr and give a it try, however he does not want to pay for any relays unless he is confident it will be actually useful for him. Unfortunately, he struggles to find interesting content (he is not in Bitcoin). Besides hashtags, what would be your recommendations?

Running pruned Bitcoin node for Lightning was one of the biggest mistake I have made

Uuh.. just set coinos wallet with #Amethyst via WC for one tap zap. The easiest way to do it until now.
You should try coinos.io if you don't have already. Only thing I don't like much is that automatically changes lightning address default on your Nostr profile, but all the rest is so neat and simple.

Running into issues with invoices from my lightning node. I seem to be able to receive smaller payments (1,000 sats), but larger invoices produce the error below. I've been running LND on @npub126n...e9ll for about 2 years and have not had this issue in the past. I haven't changed any settings recently. Any ideas? #asknostr

Having worked at and invested in number of ‘bitcoin’ companies, the great problem you will always deal with is fiat people, fiat policies, and fiat politics. While this isn’t a problem when the company is small, it becomes more acute with growth for various reasons until it pretty much becomes unbearable. Then it becomes a fiat company that just happens to do bitcoin stuff, and usually sacrifices the real ethos and values that started the company in the first place.
The only real solution is to build totally bitcoin-only (as in no touching fiat) ‘companies’—which there are very few, and as it becomes more successful, the harder it is to keep it that way.
The good news is that soon there will be more of these ‘companies’ if we can really call them that. Over the next epoch, these will provide some of the greatest opportunities (and risks) to build extraordinary new products and services for the whole world and will truly be ‘bitcoin-only’ services that will likely be real pieces of infrastructure of the future internet. These will also provide the greatest investment opportunities ever, as they will be ‘forever’ and ‘everywhere’ companies.

A: Hi Bob!
B: Hey Alice, how are you doing? Oh nice hair you got today.
A: Oh, thanks.. so, you just like them? You are not zapping me for them? You are so FIAT Bob.
So basically we passed from a culture of EGO builders with 👍🏼 on Facebook, to another one where you build your EGO since you give "value" while others are only appreciating something without giving money to it. pendulum shifting so hard.
Let me ask..
1) Do you zap every note you would like 2 years ago or you are limitating your engagement because you settled a higher standard?
2) Let's say Alice zap 21 sats as minimum, and Bob zap 100 sats as minimum.. but Alice got in bitcoin just recently and have a stack of less than 0.1 btc, while Bob is in since 2013 and his stack is 100+ BTC.. who is giving more value, putting more on the line, and giving more?
3) Alice follows 2000+ users, and zaps an avarage of 100 notes a day, from just GM to long form posts. Bob follows 100 people and zaps less than 5 notes a day but 10 times Alice amount. Who is giving more "value" and making sats flow creating a bigger net of connections and engagement..
4) #Nostr is a fucking niche still, even smaller than Bitcoin, and trying to force onlyzaps to new users that doesn't know anything about it, and don't have anyone that follow and actively engage with them, you want to also take from them an easy way of communication, because Reactions, not just LIKES, ARE A WAY OF COMMUNICATING A MESSAGE.
REACTIONS ARE NOT LIKES, FOR FUCK SAKE!
