Derek Ross (npub18am…p424) - Nostr Pleb Spaces is now officially Nostr Nests, because… well, 🖕 Twitter. New features include the ability to link your npub, and improved audio. If you were a Nostr Pleb Spaces user before, you will have to recreate your rooms. 🪺
quoting nevent1q…59xn### Nostr Plebs Spaces is rebranding to Nostr Nests
We originally started Nostr Plebs Spaces to ease the transition for users coming from Twitter. Today, we are rebranding to Nostr Nests since we would not like to reuse the Spaces branding. (and the name is more fitting!)
We have also introduced the ability to link your Nostr public key and some improvements that could reduce choppy audio in bad connections.
We will be hosting a nest on https://nostrnests.com/general for the launch.
We will also in the future introduce linking your Nostr Plebs ID and Nostr login.
**What will happen to my rooms?**
Rooms will not be transferred. Please recreate your rooms. If your room name has been taken up by someone else, contact us.
**What about my profile?**
Your profile will not be transferred over. You will need to set it up again.

quoting nevent1q…jzmkOver 1 Bitcoin sloshed around in zaps since they went live.
The lightning network is going to need to expand 100X from here to grow with Nostr. We’ll have a bitcoin a day soon enough, that’s gonna require plebs running nodes and adding liquidity.
That or Nostr builds out on custodial services. #nodestrich

Bitcoin for Bunnies 🐰🕳️
By
#[2]
This is the debut of Bitcoin for Bunnies. 🐰🕳️ It’s like the “For Dummies” series, but it's for people just starting their journey down the rabbit hole. It’s a never-ending ride, and new bitcoin users are multiplying like rabbits, so hop on in and let’s get started!
Self-custody on Lightning is hard. Setting up a web server to create a NIP-57 zap-compatible LNURL/Lightning Address? No way, man! That's why most people begin with custodial wallets. They're great for onboarding yourself, your friends, and family, but this is only a stepping stone into the larger world of becoming a self-sovereign bitcoiner. Self custody is not something to learn how to do down the road, because by that point it may be too late.
Last week, we saw the risks in only using custodial wallets, with repeated Wallet of Satoshi outages, and Thursday’s announcement that BlueWallet is shutting down its custodial node, which caught a lot of people by surprise. NYKNYC (Not your keys, not your carrots…er, cheese!) still matters in Lightning, so remember to only keep small balances in custodial wallets, move anything you don't want to risk to cold storage, and learn how to run your own Lightning node, along with the associated risks of doing so.
Remember that you're not alone in this journey, and most of the people around you are at a stage in the process that you've either been through, or may soon be ready for. Ask questions, stay curious, share what you've learned, and don't trust, verify.
There are some great resources you can use to build your knowledge.
