This week's Nostr Study Group will kick off in about 30 minutes, on Hivetalk (15 min late because I've been preoccupied 😅). Feel free to stop in. Not sure how active it will be today. Bigger stuff we'd been discussing has mostly wrapped up & it's the day after a holiday for many. Probably a good day for introductions, if anyone feels inclined.

I spend many hours every week showing other Nostr users that, yes you have control what servers you choose to associate yourself with, yes you can keep a degree of control over your media files, yes you can delete stuff, no you don't have to be exposed to spam all the time, no all your conversations don't have to be completely public...
I also spend many hours demonstrating and explaining how to launch various styles of communities, introducing the tools to compliment them, and going over how to begin managing them. The interest exists. The tools exist. The UX is constantly improving. I haven't even begun to reach outside of Nostr yet. My available time has been maximally filled with those who are using the protocol now. (I wish I could put more hours towards it.)
My point being, though, that when curious people are given a path to understanding, they often do, they get excited about it, and they start creating for their own vision.

Not really, other than that you can probably trim some of your outboxes. 3-5 + hist.nostr.land would be good. The more relays you publish to, the more things will slow down for you... but you still want to function as if any one of those relays could disappear at any time.

I went by my favorite coin shop today, but it was closed for a long holiday weekend. I decided to go to the sleezey one instead, where they have to buzz you in, and the guys working always ask me weird questions in a Brooklyn accent, such as if I'd be interested in selling the rims off my vehicle and that kind of stuff.
Fortunately, the guy working today was somewhat normal. I got what I was looking to buy. He asked if I wanted anything else. I asked if they had anything cute. He dug around in the bins for a few moments and held up this little bar. He said, "Is this cute?" I said, "Sure," paid, and left.
I looked at it more closely after I got into my car. "Marilyn" on red velvet, stamped in 1973. It's one of those things that would be a collector's item if it wasn't beat to hell. It's scratched and discolored, but its pretty cool. I can't help but wonder if someone carried around their silver nude hottie as a good luck charm or something. The mystery is more fun to me than any market value.
(Pardon my dirty hands, I haven't washed up from transplanting trees yet. 😅)

I'm sort of guessing, but the bots are likely being created as nothing but keypairs, with the notes being published to a target relay. You can't see anything about them because the events that advertise that kind of profile information were never created.

Yes, Amethyst definitely goes beyond expectation. I'm not sure how I feel about it as to whether that is good or bad. I wasn't joking about situational awareness. You want to learn how nostr stuff works? Spend some time in Amethyst. Veteran Amy users are the best nostr teachers around because of its craziness.
I wish the "daily driver" mentality was a little more lax so people could get comfortable with the idea of hopping around to accomplish whatever it is they are trying to do. Nostr really shines once you can navigate through a personaized snapshot of the ecosystem. Amethyst's early approach to partial kind support was brilliant for encouraging exploration.

I only see one on that note, too... over the course of time, I've realized that the relays that I can connect to vary greatly depending on where and how I am connected to the internet. 4g is different from 5g and both are different than my home ips. I can move from my living room to my kitchen to switch from 4g to 5g and see 2 different Nostrs 😅

2026-09-03 02:57:48 CEST

- reply

I haven't seen nearly as much today either and none on my own notes. (🤜🪵) I also don't read from or write to any public relays.
I received a bunch in Amy when this started, though with the same relay setup as I have now. I think blastrs, relay-to-relay streaming, and listeners make these situations much worse. There's no reason I should have gotten spam replied so quickly unless something is hoovering up all my notes as soon as I publish. I've been thinking about that a lot today 😂

2026-09-03 02:19:41 CEST

- reply

I've just come to accept that Amethyst is going to spam me... which is helpful in maintaining situational awareness 😅
As far as the encryption thing, yeah. I understand the frustration, but doesn't the process add quite a bit of weight to the client? Maybe it would be nice to have an option as to whether the user wants to encrypt such lists? Amethyst already does that for mutes and follows.

All these that I've drawn through in red, get rid of those in your read/inbox list. Are you a paid subscriber to nostr .land? If not, you can remove that too.
This is somewhat client dependant but it should improve your experience in most. https://dawn.blossom.band/ab90f6905f9857a07a3fcf3bb0695f89344f2bdf572db7cc18cf2943321a4408.jpg

2026-09-02 21:45:06 CEST

In this context:
WRITE = send and recieve
READ = view as a 3rd party to a conversation
WoT relays belong in your 'read/inbox' list (if you're included in that relay's social graph)
Including them in your "write/outbox" list will have little to no effect on what reply notifications you receive.

I totally forgot to post in advance about Nostr Study Group, but the show went on regardless. I had the pleasure of learning how well @npub1qc0…lsha 's presentation at the LAVITS symposium was received, and we talked about some minor technical anomalies that I'm still trying to unravel.
2 of the 3 Community-focused presentations that have been under construction amongst our group, in recent weeks, have now happened. Some of my time is opening up in that realm.
If you to have an idea you'd like to share, Nostr things you'd like to learn about from a relatively well-seasoned group of nostr veterans, or a community idea you'd like to launch, plan for Tuesdays 1pm UTC. We usually chat for about an hour, sometimes longer.
I also have dedicated Thursdays to one-on-one Community Building sessions and demos, for anyone who wants to go all-in but isn't sure where or how to begin. None of it is hard. It's more a matter of knowing is possible and what tools exist to help you make it happen.

I haven't talked to him yet. His recent blog posts document struggling with hardware (and some with WP), while also dealing with the loss of his wife. He talks about never having such problems in 50 years of working with computers.
He's obviously put a ton of effort into building the library and it's all free, so I imagine he'd be open to duplicating it somewhere, so that it could remain available through the his personal difficulties and beyond... such as in Nostr. I hadn't considered the PDF dilemma.
I joined his FB group yesterday. There is only about 400 people in it, so I'd bet I could get some conversation going, if we can find a mirroring solution that works. I'm going to start interacting and try to build some repiore, regardless, because I appreciate his little library. I hadn't visited it in probably a year, and I found him in the middle of a disaster when I finally did.

I'm obviously a big advocate of relay browsing for content discovery 😅 that's always my recommendation... and for the flipside, of publishing that way, as well, lest everything just stays a big soupy mess. So many relays stream and blast with total disregard to where the content may best be suitable, I guess for the sake of being known as a "busy" relay or perhaps in the overzealous spirit of redundancy. That's a gravity that my recommendation consistently has to battle against, but...
Any client that enables you to visit different places over a closed set of fixed places is an improvement over a client that does not. Trending style feeds chosen or operated by the client are basically single-place perspectives (of maybe a set of relays at best), and pre-selected follow suggestions are (mostly) an extension of that. It's a starting point, but that method ultimately leads to the same outcome for the user, regardless of the "big" topic. That topic just so happens to be bitcoin. It could be circus elephants and it would end up just the same.
Now, if a user starts out in a client that offers diverse relay feeds to browse, (maybe some are of the trending type, maybe some are not), they're more easily able to discover niche interests, less celebrity, more normal people, the cool thing no one is talk about, etc, then, it becomes a little easier to navigate towards their own interests and they can start building a relatable follow feed. They can figure out where they want to publish their own content to start assimilating into a community (in the purest meaning of the word). They can avoid groups and topics they dislike. I could go on...
There's still a lot to be done to expand the ecosystem on the relay side, but it's just a matter of finding and teaching motivated individuals... which is happening.
But, yeah. I like rocks 😁 ...and @npub1dwl…47nd hello, a belated welcome to #thenostr

We were alting again... I was laying in bed last night reflecting on everything that's happened since I've been around and feeling probably overly emotional about it all. So much has changed, all of it for the better except usage metrics. We've got so many cool tools and fun ways to interact and great people to horse around with while we figure out what works and what doesn't. The UX, in general, is way better than all the broken stuff that the rest of the internet just considers to be normal and acceptable.
At the same time people are churning out, we've got other individual people starting their own initiatives to bring nostr to more diverse groups, which will make everything even more fun and useful. I think right now is an important time, too, because of that specifically. We're on the middle of a big reset that removes the barriers from what "nostr is". Maybe now it can become more of what it can be.

Thanks! I'm trying to get used to the nastiness because the outcome is so cool and the snakes would otherwise be rotting in a field. I do remember my "🤢 never again" moment but I'm dammit I'm tougher than that. 😅
