    1. Stay calm, positive and ambitious in hard situations like this and make your path yourself with the resources you have šŸ’ŖšŸ»

    This has to be one of the most interesting and positive takes on getting laid off Iā€™ve seen. Itā€™s better to give folks time and resources to adjust to the future than let it be a surprise when itā€™s too late.

    Divine Beta 1.0.5 Launches in @78ce6...6307d

    Bringing back Vine, on Nostr. We announced Divine back in November and got much more attention than we expected. The last 90 days have been a sprint to get the app production ready. Weā€™re launching first on Nostrā€™s Zapstore because itā€™s Nostr that made building Divine possible.

    3. A must-watch episode for Bitcoiners šŸ‘‡šŸ»

    LifewithBitcoin
    Feb 23, 2026 21:12

    New episode on @d0cdc...de648 is live.

    A conversation with @3426a...e4552 , about culture, responsibility, and what changes - and what doesnā€™t - after years in #Bitcoin šŸ«£

    We talked about culture, responsibility, respect, and the quiet ways this space shapes how we relate to others - and to ourselves. About earning your place, staying grounded, and how time reveals whatā€™s real and what isnā€™t.

    Bitcoin changes incentives. It changes how we think about money. But it doesnā€™t automatically change who we are.

    In many ways, it just makes things harder to hide.

    āž”ļøThis episode is an honest look at human dynamics in Bitcoin, the evolution of perspective, and the difference between being around the culture and actually being changed by it.

    We got @Arnie šŸ‘‘ two years ago on the Leap Year day - Feb 29 2024

    What a blessing

    I never had a dog growing up. Arnie made it worth the wait

    He had a very tough start to life but I donā€™t think he could have dreamed of a better one now

    Even though heā€™s ā€œjust a dogā€ he has been one of the main drivers for showing up every day

    The dream is to use Bitcoin to build a rescue dog shelter on the property here with a big golden statue of Arnie at the entrance

    It will happen.

    Hereā€™s a picture of Arnie on the day he was brought home. His right ear stayed down for a while but eventually propped up.

    9. Some valuable ideas from founder to grow Nostr pleb base šŸ‘‡šŸ»

    fiatjaf
    Feb 23, 2026 12:00

    Maybe the way Nostr can get more people is by making it a good choice for semi-closed hyperlocal mini-social-networks, like a low-effort impromptu social network for a neighborhood, a church, a school, a company, I donā€™t know.

    People could join this just because they have to if they want to get news about their community and stuff like that. They wonā€™t regard it as a global social network, they will keep using X, Instagram etc, this will just be an annoying app theyā€™re forced to use.

    How to make it work:

    Some conscientious member of such community would set things up, spin up a #pyramid relay or something like that that would provide an exclusive space for this community. Then he would use a client that supported such mode of operation to send invites to other members.

    Upon receiving the invite (the invite can just be specific for that client, no need for a standard here) new users would have an account created for them and be thrown into a prepared environment in which the only feed would be that relayā€™s feed, search would be scoped to that relay, replies and mentions would only be sourced from that relay. There will be no spam, no Bitcoin, no bots.

    Luckily itā€™s easy to turn an existing kind 1 client into a client that supports this mode of operation (some are already almost there), so if youā€™re a developer reading this here are some ideas to consider implementing:

    • making relay usage highly configurable (allow users to be set up to only read mentions from their ā€œreadā€ relays ever, only publish to ā€œwriteā€, only search for specially designated ā€œsearchā€ relays etc ā€“ this could be optional);
    • supporting relay feeds alongside the classic ā€œfollowingā€ feed;
    • hiding the ā€œfollowingā€ feed entirely if the user doesnā€™t follow anyone (or having an option to hide that regardless);
    • maybe allowing other customizations, like changing the UI colors and whatnot;
    • supporting an invite flow that allows some community leader to prepare the invites and then sets up all of this stuff automatically for people who get the invite.

    14. Localization is very important to get access to Nostriches with various nationalities šŸ‘ŒšŸ»

    Nostrich.Love
    Feb 23, 2026 12:16

    Nostr is for Everyone ā€” Now in 3 Languages šŸŒ

    Language shouldnā€™t be a barrier to learning decentralized social media. So we broke it down.

    Introducing localization: English, Polish, and Spanish.

    But this isnā€™t just translating a few buttons.

    What we translated:

    šŸ“š Complete Guide Content Every guide, every quiz question, every explanation. From ā€œWhat is Nostr?ā€ to advanced privacy techniques.

    šŸ§­ Navigation & UI Progress trackers, streak counters, difficulty labels ā€” everything feels native.

    Why does this matter?

    Because Nostrā€™s promise of censorship-resistant social media only works if people everywhere can actually use it. Not just English speakers. Not just tech-savvy developers. Everyone.

    Learning about keys and relays is already complex enough. Doing it in a second language? Even harder. So we removed that friction. šŸš€

    Start learning in your language ā†’ https://nostrich.love/guides

    What language should we add next? German? French? Portuguese? Japanese? Let us know! šŸ‘‡ #nostrguide #nostrich #grownostr #polish #spanish
