==================
🧠 Quote of the Week
==================
“Nostr is a BTC heavy community, these are people that take freedom and privacy very seriously. Freedom is the core purpose of millions who live under autocracy, so Nostr is at the intersection of financial freedom, free speech and political freedom.”
For more information, please refer to #4 of Community Highlights.

The Alby community meeting is a biweekly gathering where members discuss and share updates on decentralized projects, focusing on Bitcoin and Nostr technologies. There were presented two nice nostr related projects in the last meeting on the 6th of February 2025.
# Angor
A decentralized crowdfunding protocol built on Nostr and Bitcoin. Angor is fully decentralized, with no middleman involved in the funding process. It has no backend and uses the Nostr and Bitcoin protocols to achieve this.
Presenter: sondreb (npub1zl3…jajh)

# Nostrly
Nostrly allows users to register verified Nostr addresses with Lightning redirects and Cashu fallback, ensuring seamless Nostr ecosystem transactions.

==================
🌱 Ecosystem Growth
==================
Nostr is growing fast! There are now over 45 Nostr clients, and relays are running in more than 40 countries around the globe.
According to https://nostrapps.com, there are overall 75 Nostr apps for now.
During this week:
- Total zaps 54,050, compared to 56,313 zaps the week before
- Total zap amount: 9,882,143, compared to 9,895,154 sats the week before
Note: You can see some inconsistency with comparing this recap with the last few recaps’ total zap amounts. The reason is that zaps to Primal wallets were considered "invalid" by brugeman (npub1xdt…ntxy) code, and when the issue was pointed out they decided to relax their code. So all numbers were adjusted to include Primal zaps too.
More info: nevent1q…hvyz
- Total events: 5,449,366 compared to 5,061,753 events the week before
Many thanks to https://stats.nostr.band/ by brugeman (npub1xdt…ntxy) for providing these insights.

👋 Stay in Touch & Zap
===================
Nostr is built by the plebs, for the plebs. If you found this recap helpful, consider supporting me—Nomishka—with a zap. Right now, I’m in a tough spot: jobless and struggling to make ends meet. Most days, I’m barely able to afford food, and honestly, 210,000 sats per month would help provide a basic income to cover essential needs.
I’m committed to supporting Nostr, and I split a part of the zaps I receive for this note with the plebs mentioned in this recap for all their great effort. Thank you so much for being part of this journey. Let me know your thoughts about this tenth recap, share your tips and suggestions for the next weekly #nostrrecap, and let’s keep #grownostr together.
