Answers below:
Welcome and thanks for answering the questions!
What was the problem on mobile and nostr?
Correct me if I’m wrong but it looked like the only way to sign-in with Nostr on iOS is via nsec
We don't support login via nsec, only via extension or via remote signer (NIP-46). But I see how "connect with token" can be confusing here:
Will study, thanks!
Are you really called David irl?
Welcome!
Yup, David IRL. I'm the real deal. Accept no imitations.
It appears @metadavid is a Rams fan. What are the odds that 2 of the 12 Rams fans that exist in the entire world would end up on SN?
Right @realBitcoinDog?
I’m almost scared to ask what your favorite team is @grayruby 🤣
Red and Gold is your clue.
Quite honestly I don't mind the Rams. I just like to pick on Rams fans about the Rams not really having any fans. I hate the Cowboys, Seahawks, Chiefs and Eagles much more.
They have a lot more fans than the Chargers, haha
That's true. @Undisciplined likes to claim the Chargers pay fake fans to appear but I think he just has a thing for that weird Asian woman they always show at Chargers games.
And Vikings games.
It's perfectly normal to be fanatical about two teams in the same league.
She goes to Vikings games too?
I am curious about one thing! I’m assuming you’re a 49ers fan. Niners-Rams rivalry is one of the oldest and most contested in the league (I think Sporting News ranked it #5).
Or is there another red and gold team I’m blanking on? 🤣
We’re fans of championship teams not losers to Mahomes
How did you find out about SN? Scrolling through Nostr.
How difficult was it to get started? Any feedback? Super smooth. No hiccups at all.
How much experience do you have with lightning? Been rocking LN with Annonymal for nearly two years now.
Have you read the FAQ already? Not yet, but now that you mentioned it, we’ll dive in!
Have you realized that you need to attach a wallet to receive sats? Yup — already hooked up and receiving some sats!
How was your first week on SN? Awesome so far. Great vibes, solid community.
Horns up for Satoshi! \m/ Horns up for Satoshi — always and forever!
Welcome!
Do you feel like SN has replaced some time that you would have spent on nostr before or is SN complementing nostr for you?
I know this question wasn't directed at me, but I'd love to jump in and say I'm finding I'm spending more time here than on Twitter-like experience for Nostr.
I think the problem with those kinds of social platforms is your credibility is based on how many followers you have (perceived social capital) vs. what you actually have to say.
Here, I feel like I'm actually meaningfully exchanging ideas and connecting with others.
Over there, it feels lonely, haha. I'll still hang around there, but I've seen a massive quick shift on where I'm spending my Nostr time now.
Welcome!
In which app store? 👀 Do you mean Alby Hub because we're not in any app store afaik?
You almost got me doubting myself haha. It was the Apple Store, you can find it by looking for Bsats. It seems there is also an Android version.
Oh, right, I forgot about Bsats. It’s not from us and no longer maintained but I guess you noticed that.
I think the Android version is from @felipe.
Well it works for me and doesn’t collect any data so I’m a happy bunny hahaha
Yes you are right, and now I can’t remember how I got it installed. Must been via one of the other Nostr apps I think. I will get back to you once I found out. I’m getting old hahaha
Hello and thanks for the welcome, i found out about this community through reddit and also stacksats . how It was pretty easy to register, just one gmail confirmation code is needed hah
Welcome!
Do you remember which post on Reddit made you visit SN? We feel like Reddit should be where most of our new users come from since it's a similar system, but for some reason, redditors in bitcoin subreddits don't really seem to be interested as much as one would think. Would love to hear your thoughts on this as someone who just came from Reddit.
Seems like a lot of new stackers. Was there any particular thing that might be attracting them?
Me not posting this for 2 weeks
I think it's more than that. I've noticed more activity from nyms I'm not used to.
Ohh, mhh, maybe posting the trending posts on nostr and twitter via the official SN account does indeed help. We've started doing that recently, see here and here.
I think that's it, most people will click on it for the headline and stay for the community. ✌️
perfect meme
thanks, it came to me in a conversation with @Car
You should also start a toddler stacker corner! For those new users who joined some time ago, like 2-3 months ago. How's this idea?
What would you ask them?
How's the potty training going? But I'll make more good ones. []:)
I got referred
That meme was legit my first weeks experience xD
I found out about SN through the Speed wallet. I originally downloaded the wallet through a link in one of Natalie Brunell’s YT videos. After that, I explored the app further and eventually discovered SN.
It wasn't difficult to start, though the interface, and user experience wasn't what I expected. Took a while to get used to it. From what I read, this is similar to Reddit. I wouldn't know, I've never used it.
I don't have much experience with lightning whatsoever, but I get the gist of it, and seemingly using it seamlessly
I read the FAQ after my last post. I now think I understand why the posting fees suddenly got higher, and why I can't withdraw sats. I think I might come forth as a bot or whatnot (Idk, I'm guessing) but in reality I just don't know what I'm doing, yet. I'm still very new to the Bitcoin space, especially SN. I don't have any particular set of skills in the space, so to help me learn I use chatGPT, and often use the information provided to post on SN. I thought sharing what I'm learning might bring even a miniscule amount of value to someone new like me, while I'm still figuring things out. I have no niche, yet.
I did indeed realize I need to attach a wallet, but had to learn about the CCs after receiving them. But the educational information are easily accessible.
My first week was an experiment, testing the platform. As a complete noob, I got used to the interface, and user experience. I like it, and it's quite thrilling to receive sats for posting.
I would like to congratulate the team for coming this far. 👏👏
Welcome new stackers! I'm happy to see all of these new faces!
@FastF1News has been posting lots of F1 content in ~Stacker_Sports, which is much appreciated.
Actuary my first time about SN was from Bitcoinsafaritz and also it was not highly difficult for me to adopt the way to use. But also I have learn to connect with my wallet and then I have enjoyed some amount of sats
