2. An amazing optimum jargony podcast about Divine! Let’s take a listen and share 🎧

rabble
Jan 17, 2026 11:00

6 months ago I listed to a podcast about Vine and its history. It got me thinking, how hard could it be to bring Vine back, but open and on Nostr.

That lead to me building divine.video and announcing it in November. It got tons of attention, and I’ve been working hard to fix my vibe coded prototype in to something which would be usable by mainstream noobies. The Nostr tech and community has been critical to this, I couldn’t have done it without you all.

The podcast, Vine: 6 seconds that changed the world, reached out to me and they’ve put out an episode about Divine!

It’s really good, talks about how divine came to be and really gets in to our movement for open permissionless protocols. They do it in a way that’s not technical or overly jargony.

Please take a listen and share it.

7. This is the method that Nostr grows 😉

Contra
Jan 13, 2026 02:16

Your followers are posting absolute fire and I have no idea they exist.

That’s the reality of Nostr. We’re all living in our own network bubbles. The people you follow and interact with every day? I’ve probably never seen them. And the people in my feed? Completely invisible to you.

No algorithm mixing us together. No corporate feed forcing connections. Just pure decentralized chaos where entire communities exist parallel to each other, never touching.

Some of you have been around me for months or years. We’re locked in. But your followers? The people YOU think are brilliant? I’m missing all of them. And you’re missing all of mine.

This is both Nostr’s greatest strength and its biggest challenge. We actually have to work to expand the network. Discovery doesn’t happen automatically. It happens through reposts, through signal, through people actively bridging their networks together.

Right now, someone in your follow list is dropping knowledge I need to see. Perspectives that would shift how I think. Content that matters. And I’m completely blind to it because our graphs haven’t connected yet.

So here’s what I want. I want to see who YOU follow. I want your network to crash into mine. I want the people you respect to show up in my feed.

If you’ve never interacted with my content before, if we exist in different parts of this protocol, REPOST this. Let your followers see it. Let’s smash these network bubbles together and see what happens.

This is how Nostr actually grows. Not through algorithms. Through us actively choosing to expand the graph.

Your people need to meet my people. Let’s make it happen.

9. Why he is on Nostr? 🤔

Jan 11, 2026 14:37

Why am I on Nostr? Why do I buy Bitcoin?
I think the world is heading into a very dark place. 1984 made real. We are forced to believe what is clear in front of our eyes is a lie. Genocide and paedophilia are now supposed to be acceptable. Government media and the smartest and richest in our society are trying to convince us that genocide and paedophilia are accepted. That it’s not that important. I stay on nostr and I buy Bitcoin because it’s my tiny way of resisting. Genocide is never acceptable and paedophilia is never OK. This is my tiny and only way I can resist. So I stay on nostr and I buy Bitcoin cos there’s nothing else I can do.

Jan 12, 2026 10:28

When I came to Nostr, I understood the potential pretty fast. While its about censorship resistance and a simpler online identity, the community on here is actually creating something really big and important. If people ask me if I’m scared to show myself here so openly, I say no. Why? Because I trust. I have to trust. Because how else will we create a more peaceful world if we do not trust in the first place? I really believe in the goodness of humanity. We are all hurt in some way, fighting with our inner child, yearning to be loved and accepted. So I just try to love and accept. I also have my boundaries but I don’t want to be unforgiving at all. It’s the devil’s downspiral. I, for my part, I’m going to step into revolution peacefully. I will show them that Bitcoin and Nostr is not a threat. Its an invitation. I will just show the people how green the grass is on our side, and wait. And for that, I need your daily encouragement. Your good energy. This will bring us forward so fucking much. Never stop fighting. No matter how hard it is. Come here, on Nostr, and fuel yourself with the goodness we create. We are stronger together. 🫂

14. A great explanation about Nostr 👏

🟠 isolabellart
Jan 17, 2026 14:07

On #Nostr, liking something is a light, almost decorative gesture. I overuse it myself, but honestly, it doesn’t really change anything.
It doesn’t build memory, it doesn’t spread an idea, it doesn’t leave a trace over time.

Reposts, on the other hand, are hands that take content and put it back on the road.
That’s where Nostr breathes: the network doesn’t reward you because you’re liked, but because you circulate.
If no one reposts, even the truest thing remains silent.

And then there are zaps.
They don’t lie. They are value expressed without metaphors, attention that becomes cost, time that becomes choice.
A zap says: this is valuable to me.
It is not consent, it is responsibility.

Here in lies the difference, stark and somewhat uncomfortable:
on other social networks, a like is a cheap caress;
on Nostr, only actions that risk something count.
That is why likes are of little use.
They are background noise, useful perhaps to the ego, but not to the protocol.
If we want to make an impact, we must share or support.
The rest is silence disguised as applause.

Saying this is not cynical.
It is simply seeing Nostr for what it is:
not a place to be approved, but a place to circulate value.

Non-technical people often don’t understand our world: open source software, decentralization, or freedom technology. And that’s okay.

We don’t build just for ourselves. We build for them too. We build for everyone.

Good morning and pura vida, Nostr!

16. A normie is so happy about Nostr and Bitcoin 😍

WeBreatheFreedom
Jan 13, 2026 23:46

Hello world!

This is my first post on freedom web.

I’m not a developer. I’m a normie who likes digital stuff but I have to say, I’m getting obsessed with the idea of freedom tech.
My reasons are simple: as I grew up the internet changed in a bad way imo. I realized as a teenager that I hate Google, and that there’s no alternative. I felt trapped. And that was it. With no IT background, I went down the rabbithole. DeGoogling phones, linux, proton mail, f-droid etc… you name it. (Recently I even started a homelab project to self host Nextcloud but after months of trial end error without IT background I gave up and went on the Google/Notion route… I will return though and try harder)
I was very interested in crypto in the early years, but had no money and didn’t understand it fully at the time.
Fast forward to today, I had the chance to learn DeFi through a platform and decided to learn more about bitcoin again. The more I learned the more I became a maxi. And after tens of hours of podcasts and content, I ended up here.

Because of Nostr and Bitcoin and the AMAZING peaople behind them, I have hope again. I feel like I can smell the fresh air of freedom again.

Thank you Nostr and Bitcoin devs!

🛠️ Tools, Updates and Releases

1. Amber - v4.1.0-pre1

Amber is an Android Nostr event signer that lets users securely approve and sign Nostr actions for apps and services. This pre-release introduces a refreshed UI for login, event handling, and permission screens, refactors relay counters to use the updated Quartz library methods, and fixes an issue where relay connections were not properly closed when adding unsupported relays. These changes improve usability, visual clarity, and connection reliability, resulting in a smoother and more robust signing experience for users.

Contributed by: @greenart7c3

2. Mostro - v0.16.0

Mostro is a production-ready, censorship-resistant, non-custodial peer-to-peer exchange that uses the Lightning Network for payments and Nostr for coordination and messaging. This release refines Mostro’s event model by introducing separate Nostr event kinds for orders, ratings, informational messages, and disputes, and by explicitly including the dispute initiator in dispute events. Alongside documentation updates, these changes improve protocol clarity, interoperability, and auditing, making exchanges easier to reason about for developers and more transparent and reliable for end users participating in Lightning-based P2P trades.

Contributed by: @Pinball Wizard @qqqq…rfkq

3. Mostro CLI - v0.14.5

Mostro CLI is a command-line tool for end users and operators that connects to the Mostro ecosystem and displays new replaceable events, such as orders, directly from Nostr in a simple, text-based interface. This release adds premium information to the listorders table, making order listings more informative, removes unnecessary dependencies like dotenv to simplify setup, updates documentation to clarify that running a Lightning node is not required, and includes several internal fixes. Together, these changes make Mostro CLI easier to install, clearer to use, and more useful for quickly monitoring Mostro activity and order data from the terminal.

Contributed by: @Pinball Wizard @qqqq…rfkq

4. Alby Lightning Browser Extension - v3.14.1 : 🧹✨🌌 The Witch’s Broom Nebula

Alby Lightning Browser Extension acts as a Bitcoin Lightning wallet and a Nostr key signer, providing deep integration with Lightning, Nostr, Liquid, and on-chain services. This release fixes the extension on Firefox for Android, ensures the correct icon displays in Chrome dark mode, disables context menus on Android, and detects the browser theme for proper icon updates, improving usability, visual consistency, and cross-browser compatibility for end users.

Contributed by: Pavan Joshi Source: https://github.com/getAlby/lightning-browser-extension/releases/tag/v3.14.1

5. Bitchat - v1.5.0

Bitchat is a decentralized peer-to-peer messaging app that uses both local Bluetooth mesh networks for offline messaging and the Nostr protocol for global communication. This release adds support for voice notes and images over the mesh, introduces a new mesh routing algorithm, integrates a Tor framework for improved privacy, and implements security audit fixes. These updates enhance user experience by enabling richer media messaging, improving offline and global message delivery, and increasing overall security and reliability of communications.

6. Nostr Ynstant Messenger - v2.26.69

Nostr Ynstant Messenger is a lightweight chat client built on the Nostr protocol that supports both ephemeral and persistent messaging, bridging with Bitchat for anonymous, temporary communication. This release introduces peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing, allowing users to exchange files directly without relying on central servers.

8. Angor - 0.2.3

Angor is a decentralized peer-to-peer funding protocol built on Bitcoin and Nostr that enables trust-minimized project funding and investment without intermediaries. This release enhances real-world usability by adding automatic monitoring of Bitcoin addresses to invest incoming funds, clearer handling of unconfirmed and reserved balances, and support for Liquid mainnet, while significantly improving the project creation experience with a revamped Create Project v2 flow, new wizard stages, better visuals, and added business logic. Performance and maintainability are improved through deferred loading of project statistics, cleanup of unused investor and founder classes, minor type fixes, and better subscription handling, resulting in a smoother, more robust, and more scalable funding experience for both founders and investors.

2. Mostro Core - v0.7.0

Mostro Core is a Rust-based library that provides the peer-to-peer and Nostr event primitives used to build decentralized exchange applications, serving as the core foundation for the Mostro daemon.
