I installed #Citrine earlier today. Seems to work fine with #Amethyst, not so much with #Coracle. Can't find a way to add it. I infer from searching that it may be related to security certificate issues. There is noticeable battery drain though. I estimate that keeping it on in the background is reducing my battery life to 8 hrs or less. I will have to work on that.
Bitcoin.Review Nostr rising ep.01 was really good. Super nerdy - way over my head nerdy - at the beginning and sometimes in the middle but still valuable listening for me. I've watched (as a non-coder) the evolution of tech for more than two decades. I think #nostr has a strong chance to succeed where all the federated/peer-to-peer stuff more-or-less failed. Tech, tools, usability have all evolved to the point where cheap, dumb servers paired with smart, innovative clients make sense. There may well be a wave of user empowerment coming, "...the likes of which even God has never seen..." I really liked this closing comment from @jb55 - "This is it. This is the thing we're going to use to take down BigTech and these centralized institutions. It's the largest scale experiment that's ever been done. The amount of support, the amount of people working on it, devs in the space who are building clients, building solutions. I've never seen so much energy in a protocol before. Bitcoin was cool but this is insane, the amount of energy in this space."

Bitcoin Review Podcast BR078: Nostr Rising 01 - Permissionless Algos ft. JB55, Hodlbod & Miljan
I’m joined by guests JB55, Hodlbod & Miljan to discuss permissionless algos in the first episode of Nostr Rising.
Is it reasonable to characterize Lightning as a "proof of stake" layer atop a "proof of work" protocol? #asknostr #lightning #bitcoin That's how it seems to me, the more you have, the more you can receive, but you must prove you have it (by opening a channel) before you can receive it.
@dave is this how I "tag" another user on #nostr? #askNostr
What is the story on relays? How do I know good from mediocre? How many do I realistically need? Do I need to designate a specific relay to receive DM? i presume I need to connect a wallet to pay for a paid relay - a concept I support - but how do I execute that? What does that process (the paying a relay part) look like? At present, are paid relays delivering any significant value vs free? How does one determine which paid relay(s) to support? #askNostr
