Friendly reminder that contrary to popular belief the United States does NOT have a fractional reserve banking system. Beginning in March of 2020 the United States has a zero reserve banking system:

Yes, there are paid relays. Some claim to offer anti-spam services.

@r000t is incorrect in the above conversation he has with himself. There is no need to compile a client or pay to use a relay. I'm quite confident the vast majority of #Nostr users don't do either of these things.

I apparently didn't pick up on the fact that you were making fun of Urbit or "Urbitors", how embarrassing. ?

None the less, I did try to give Urbit a serious try and was underwhelmed/disappointed.

The Ethereum identity system is a giant barrier to entry, I don't have to mess with tokens to try other open source projects.

Once I got past that I found I didn't know what to do next and the stuff I tried didn't really work.

I gave Urbit a try, wasn't really sure where to go with it. The new user chat room in the documentation wouldn't let me connect. I tried to use the #Bitcoin wallet and couldn't find a live backend to connect to let alone find up to date documentation on connecting my own node. #Urbit just doesn't seem ready for prime time to me. Maybe I'll give it another try in the future.
