“Remember, remember, #NostrNovember!” Last year it began as a challenge to only use Nostr for that month. Derek Ross (npub18am…p424) and trey (npub164q…2rl3) propose to build on the idea and make #NostrNovember into a community-driven marketing project, aimed at sharing and promoting #nostr on other social media platforms. Who’s in?

quoting note1jar…gxsg

Here's how #NostrNovember started a year ago. This year though, let's make it a more of a marketing project like trey (npub164q…2rl3) suggested. Instead of only using Nostr, let's promote Nostr on all other social media platforms. Let's showcase the best features of Nostr clients and best features of the protocol. It's going to take all of us to make this November successful. We'll need memes, videos, infographics, songs, and plenty of long form content. Let's do this. 🔥🔥🔥

nevent1q…wmwk

quoting note1vuh…8n93

I think we should do a #nostrnovember marketing campaign to other social platforms and especially X.

#nostr as social media is too good and has too much potential to have this little users, and needs more diversity of content, communities, and more.

Remember remember, #nostr November!

What do you think fiatjaf (npub180c…h6w6) Derek Ross (npub18am…p424) ? I think we need to first get most or all clients on board with better moderation tools for users before then though, and make onboarding as easy as possible.

Vitor Pamplona (npub1gcx…nj5z) proposes enabling a replaceable kind 1 (a new kind:30111) event in Amethyst to allow users to edit past posts. Asks for feedback.

quoting note1nrt…wmqz

I am considering enabling Amethyst to write a replaceable kind 1 (new kind:30111) to allow users to edit their past posts at will.

It would work in a similar way Habla News works, but using Kind 1's style of small posts instead of markdown and long-form content of kind:30023.

Of course, we could also write kind:30023 (blog posts) directly, but it would pollute most of the Blogging interfaces with short posts.

What do you all think?

Deleted Account (npub1t0n…jgqv) discusses what he calls a concerning trend in LN, with wallet providers charging “Visa-level percentage fees” on transactions.

quoting note1mln…3ae2

There's a current trend right now in LN to start charging towards visa level percentage fees on every payment. This is concerning to me.

I'm typically seeing this on wallets that are only compatible with the wallet vendor's LSP. I think this is screwing up incentives and is causing predatory lock in behavior.

This is why the open lsp working group matters and why multi lsp architecture is important. Separating liquidity requirements from wallet vendors will also allow them to bootstrap quicker and focus on the wallet UX.

As much as it sounds good to be the next Visa on LN, this is the wrong move in my opinion.
