When I first created my nostr account, I probably didn’t do it correctly. The npub I use is the one I created (?) using nos2x rather than the profile I created from the Damus app. Guessing something similar happened here.

Probably a stupid question, but I’ll ask regardless….
Does a miner’s share (the best share difficulty specifically) improve with more hash rate? I have a #BitAxe Supra and Ultra running. The Supra has a higher hash rate than the Ultra, but the Ultra’s best share difficulty is higher than the Supra’s. Is that odd, normal, or it doesn’t matter because it’s all luck and lottery anyway?!? 😬😔 #asknostr #BitAxeArmy

I probably did it wrong years ago, but I created the account using Damus. Then I learned about nos2x and Nostore, and ended up with a separate/different npub that I’m using right now. (The original one is not used.) User error on my part or is the use of an extension meant to provide a different key set?

Definitely a chill vibe. The first thirty seconds or so set the tone before the beat starts to pick-up around the 0:45 mark. The different sounds/instruments used provides a “pleasure buffet” for the ears.
The artwork complements the track very well. For me, the water drop appears suspended-in-time (slow-moving) which I infer as a peaceful, calm, natural movement while it has a futuristic feel to it. That is how the music flowed for me, and I would include it in my chill playlists.

I don’t know the technical tasks behind the scenes, but my guess is that by uploading directly to Damus, it is just uploading it to its server (like nostr.build) saving you a step or two.
If you can’t upload photos or videos, seems like a bug. Assuming you have the latest and greatest version of the app installed?
