"527 New Posts"... But My Timeline Didn't Change? Understanding BCHNostr's Refresh Counter ⚡

You open BCHNostr and notice a green banner saying: > "527 new posts – tap to refresh" Naturally, you expect hundreds of fresh posts waiting for you. You tap it... ...and almost nothing changes. Is BCHNostr broken? Did the posts disappear? Are they coming from another client? The answer lies in how Nostr relays, events, and timeline filters work. This article explains why the number can be much larger than the posts you actually see, helping both beginners and experienced users better understand what's happening behind the scenes.

How Do You Delete a Nostr Account? The Answer Might Surprise You 🔑

"How do I delete my Nostr account?" It's one of the first questions many people ask after trying Nostr. If you're used to Facebook, X, Instagram, or Reddit, you expect to find a Delete Account button somewhere in the settings. But on Nostr, that button doesn't exist. Not because the developers forgot to add it, but because Nostr was designed differently from the very beginning. Understanding why there is no Delete Account button also helps you understand one of Nostr's most important ideas: your identity belongs to you, not to a platform.

🌐 Web3: The Internet That Belongs to Everyone

The internet has changed dramatically over the last few decades. We started with static websites where people simply read information. Then came social media, cloud services, and interactive applications that allowed anyone to create content, but at the cost of giving control to large corporations. Today, a new chapter is unfolding: Web3. Instead of trusting centralized platforms, Web3 gives users ownership of their identity, assets, and data through decentralized technologies like blockchains and open protocols. This article explores how the internet evolved from Web1 to Web2 and finally to Web3, what makes each generation different, and why decentralized social networks like Nostr are becoming one of the most exciting examples of Web3 in action.

Hive vs. Nostr (BCHNostr)

Hive and BCHNostr are often grouped together as decentralized social networks, but they are built on fundamentally different ideas. Hive is a blockchain with a built-in social economy, while BCHNostr uses the Nostr protocol to provide portable identity, flexible communication, and native Bitcoin Cash integration. Understanding these differences helps you appreciate that they solve different problems rather than compete with one another.

White Paper: Sovereign Hiring

Sovereign Hiring is an open protocol for job applications built on Nostr. Instead of retyping résumés into endless portals, candidates publish their profiles once — anchored to their npub. Employers verify applications via cryptographic signatures, follow candidate feeds, and request sensitive documents selectively through encrypted events. The result: less friction, stronger trust, and a fairer global market for talent. This approach works seamlessly alongside existing boards like Bitcoiner Jobs, communities like Continuum, and even traditional sites like Craigslist, proving that sovereign identity can streamline the hiring process for everyone.
