Does anyone have a link to a simple #Nostr guide?
I also want to set up a community type group. @nprofile…20f0 was working on something on #Coracle but it didn’t quite work, it was too early.

Japan still looks modern on the surface but your right, the country is stuck in the 90’s. Business still uses fax machines and if you mention Bitcoin you’ve lost them completely

Unfortunately in Japan this seems to be normal. I love the country and the people but living here has constant challenges

2025-10-28 09:41:17 UTC

Welcome to another day of I thought I was in a modern country. Today I had one goal…. Get a phone number! I go to the store when they open, “sorry we are busy” (there is no one in the store except the 5 staff) I was told to come back at 4pm. I arrived at the allotted time to be told “sorry you don’t have an appointment “ I decided to stay and not get messed around. 10 minutes later my appointment is found and we start the process and get told that I can get a Samsung phone for 11yen as I’m a new customer.
90 minutes later I’m told that I can’t get the 11yen phone just as I’m about to sign.
The end result no phone and no phone number. This was another 6 hour ordeal.
I’m done with the circus this week and will begin again on Monday 🤪

2025-10-27 11:34:00 UTC

Japan is different, we all think it’s modern but most practices here are very analog. I had 4 things on my agenda today, register my address with the prefectural office, open a bank account, pay my water bill, and get a new Japanese phone number.
After 8 hours all I had achieved is registration of my address, paying my water bill, and making an appointment in 3 weeks to open a bank account.
For a modern country things are very slow.

I didn’t really return to my normal diet, I made some better choices. After around 18 months I had put on around 10kg and stayed there until I recently moved to Japan and I’m now losing weight without doing anything except eating a 100% Japanese diet, except I don’t eat Tofu.
