I am very proud and humbled to announce that @npub1...37rqf is now officially supported by @npub1...fn34f

That means that we’ll have a full year dedicated to building our the full product AND MARKETING roadmap

My goal with wisp is simple: a nostr client you can proudly share with your normie friends with confidence that everything will work and be easy.

So far, wisp has been my little side project - let’s see how far we can take it with full time effort:wisp_cowboy:

Thank you to all the based users who helped shape #wisp into what it is today with your feature requests and bug reports, keep them coming!

Love you nostr!! :wisp_salute:

I’m going to marry my best friend @Riddler ♥️

Today is my 39th birthday. I have a seemingly greedy request of you wonderful people on nostr. I would like as many people as possible to zap me. 1 sat zaps are plenty and will be greatly appreciated.
I want to be able to honestly say that “Nostr is so much better than any other social media, I had more strangers send me Bitcoin than real people even acknowledged me all day. Just one of many reasons I dropped all the legacy socials. You should check it out.”
This will not take many of you, but true statements go a long way and I may be able to purple pill a few folks with that one.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Stay Blessed y’all.

The hard truth is that people are tired of social media in general. And if we keep onboarding them into Twitter-like interfaces we will keep losing them.

Somebody will come up with something better than this and I hope they do it soon. We need some brand new ideas not just recycled UIs.

I have a sloppy primal that I update every once in a while for fun. There’s now stories, reels, an electric zap button, and a shop.

I want to see a future where we control what we see (algo choice)

And a future where we control
how we see it. Nostr enables both.

And no, none of this slop is coming any time soon. We’re working on something bigger :)

Just remember y’all

I’m building wisp for the users who left nostr

Not for all of us who stayed

Pls support the mission even if it isn’t the right client for you

Gm and Pura Vida 🧡 Ten years ago today, I asked my best friend if she wanted to be my girlfriend and discover the world with me. Time flies when you’re having fun. It’s time for sushi and Happy vibes and a good time. We’re going to celebrate that twice as hard today. 💜 A Decade Together and stil going strong!! 🫂 #10thAnniversary #Lovestr ❤️

I’ve been a bit absent from Nostr for the last little while, but that’s about to change. For the past few months, I started focusing on a new project, and I’m finally ready to announce what I’ve been up to.

I’ve written a book. Defending Bitcoin: Industrial-Grade Cybersecurity for the Monetary Grid.

6 months ago, I realized how I could apply my cybersecurity background to Bitcoin, with a perspective grounded in the world of critical infrastructure and industrial control systems.

In Defending Bitcoin, I make the case that Bitcoin is critical infrastructure, and I mean that technically. Critical infrastructure is everything essential for the modern world to run the way it does, and I assert that Bitcoin meets the threshold of that definition.

Defending Bitcoin is grounded in the industrial cybersecurity principles that I use on a daily basis. The framework I’ve built is based on ISA/IEC 62443, the most widespread industry standard for industrial cybersecurity, and applies universal cybersecurity principles such as defense-in-depth, risk management, and threat modeling. And in all cases, there’s always something you can do to improve your security or that of the network as a whole.

I wrote the book for two audiences at once. The first is bitcoiners who want to improve their security posture. The second is technical professionals who may be skeptical about Bitcoin and want to understand it better. I build a base of vocabulary for both sides to understand each other, then cover the threat landscape over the course of 10 chapters.

Launching today is the accompanying website, https://defendingbitcoin.com/ where you can get a preview of the book, read endorsements from Mikko Hyppönen (the foreword writer), @npub1...6eyhe , @npub1...cw83a , @npub1...hr4xv , @npub1...lx3vt , and @npub1...sxvfp . I’ve also built a threat modeling tool where you can check how the book applies to you (fully local, we don’t collect any data except your email address, if you want updates).

Defending Bitcoin will be available for purchase online on June 15th, right after @npub1...gzu3r where I’ll be debuting the book physically. Use code DEFENDINGBITCOIN for your ticket, and come see me in Prague to get your signed copy!

I’m thrilled to be releasing this book because it’s truly the best possible contribution to the space that I can make. I managed to find a way to bridge the two worlds I live in, those of my day job in cybersecurity and Bitcoin. I hope you find the book to be a helpful guide to improving your security, and that it makes a positive impact for Bitcoin as a whole.

I’ll be posting more often about the Bitcoin cybersecurity topic, and hopefully that’s valuable as well.

I’m looking forward to hearing what you think!

Primal Android users, we have something for you! 👀

A brand-new app shell just dropped with the 3.5 release. The whole app should feel faster, smoother and easier to use. Please upgrade and let us know how it hits.

Before you ask, we are also working on a shell revamp of the Primal iOS app. Aiming to ship that in the coming weeks; stay tuned.
https://blossom.primal.net/0f1d4f8134cf9567f2af1f2ada1f44c76b069630b7964046842dca38437fd5f6.mov

The outrage is odd.

Do we want normies here? Yes. We want users. We want growth.

Without growth, devs lose interest. Without devs, funding dries up. Without funding, Nostr goes back to being a 2022 side project.

Nostr has been declining in growth and activity for a year and a half. Apps and services have exploded, but the people using them have dwindled. In 2023 and 2024, my notes saw incredible interaction. By 2025 things slowed down, and in 2026 I barely get engagement on an average note.

Something new has to be done. UTXO is trying new things. Many of us are exploring different paths forward, because the old paths aren’t leading anywhere and we want this to succeed.

The beauty of Nostr is its flexibility. Large community, small community, basic app, complex app, it’s all still Nostr.

So go ahead. Run your private community relay, accessible only over Tor, requiring Lightning payments for read and write access. Nostr won’t change much for you.

But for the rest of us trying to build something that actually grows? We need to try something different.

New to the relays 🕊️
Bringing my music journal to Nostr. I spend my days with a guitar and a piano, sharing raw songs and creative moments. Excited to connect with you all and keep the music flowing! 🎸🎹
