Derek Ross (npub18am…p424) also follows up with his thoughts on Twitter’s outage yesterday and the value proposition of a decentralized communication protocol.
quoting nevent1q…vjyn**Yesterday's Twitter outage and policy changes were Nostr advertisements.**
Decentralized communication on Nostr, in which data is transmitted and stored across a network of relays, offers several advantages over centralized communication, where all data passes through a single, central point of control. Decentralization increases the robustness and resilience of the network, as there is no single point of failure that can bring the entire system down.
We saw this happen yesterday with Twitter. Users could not just load up a different client or access a different relay to continue using Twitter. For those that were skeptical about Nostr, this was a beaming advertisement for Nostr's features and resilience.
Additionally, the decentralized nature of Nostr allows for greater user autonomy and control over their data, as they can store and manage it themselves, rather than having to trust a third party to do so. Twitter imposed rate limits and delays yesterday. Nostr is different. There are no rate limits. (Well, relays do have rate limits to thwart spammers.) There are no delays.
The differences between centralized Twitter and decentralized Nostr are loud and clear. The masses will continue to see these defining differences over time. Keep building.

quoting nevent1q…yzn5FYI regarding Wallet of Satoshi. Fees for on chain transactions in and out of their wallet are increasing. I haven’t seen a Nostr post from #[0] about yet (ahem, and I said again, AHEM sirs!) but here are screenshots to their tweets about it.

quoting nevent1q…yea8**REMINDER: NostrGram now supports in-app media uploads** (images, video and audio). Just click the Media icon in the note editor and drag-n-drop, copy/paste or browse for the media you want to add to the note. I'm hosting the media on my servers so there's nothing else for you to do. Super simple!
Vitor Pamplona (npub1gcx…nj5z) Vitor warns of integrated lightning wallets from certain clients that you may have unknowingly signed up for. This is likely how Derek Ross lost sats a few weeks ago.
quoting nevent1q…w4u8Nostr.com also does this. I had this happen to me. I lost a bunch of sats because of this as my address was updated and I didn't pay attention to what I was signing. Live and learn.
aaron (npub14lu…7m8m) A.A.RON posts that he will be shutting down nostr-relay.untethr.me later this month.
quoting nevent1q…qwzgnostr-relay.untethr.me likely to shut down this month.
I only have a couple hours a week to work on it and have to be realistic about supporting it going forward esp. as spam starts to find in.
Will wait a while for all the mission critical apps using it to migrate away.
Joking aside, I’ll have a backup and can get posts exported for anyone who needs but I bet everyone is already covered by other relays. Beauty of nostr.
