As per usual half of Nostr got triggered by this
Interest in Nostr is waning. Lots of people stoped posting and forgot about it or moved on.
Get a grip people 🧡
My biggest fear for bitcoin is as @jack says “irrelevance”
Nostr gets occasional spikes in interest, sure, but it’s very very quiet on here

Not much kicking around on Nostr anymore is there

I'm sure when writing this post you meant to write 4.4 Monero.
$ 1,600 for Motorola Signature 27?
I think I'll wait a little longer until the price comes down.

nerostr v2 is out, as a first release candidate. It's been almost three years since the last update, so I ended up rewriting the whole thing.
Yesterday pinged me about a downtime, so I took the opportunity to update it.
Nerostr is now a single Go binary built on khatru. The relay, the paywall and the admin API are one service, so it simplified from 4 services to just 2.
For people using wss://xmr.usenostr.org nothing changes, I migrated everything. A few things got better, and more modern.
If you host your own nerostr relay, v2 is a migration, not just a new image. Pin pluja/nerostr:v0.0.71 for now, and follow the migration guide when you're ready:
https://github.com/pluja/nerostr#migrating-from-nerostr-v1-strfry
Update info: https://github.com/pluja/nerostr/pull/15 Release candidate: https://github.com/pluja/nerostr/releases/tag/v2.0.0-rc.1
I will be adding some more features before the final v2 release.
Coming soon: a better thread layout, related threads, and thread search. Here's how Squalk looks on the next version of Flotilla.
