Nostr Console v0.1.6-beta: reply to message in encrypted group chat and quoted events

Use all_nostr_events.txt ( zipped as rar) as --file option to the application, which improves the performance because even if some events are not received, they are read from such a file. The program creates such a file ( by saving all events into it) if you do not supply this file initially.

from a relay. If not provided, then events for default or given user are shown.
-f, --file <filename> Read from given file, if it is present, and at the end of the program execution, write
to it all the events (including the ones read, and any new received).
-s, --disable-file When turned on, even the default file is not read from.
-t, --translate Translate some of the recent posts using Google translate site ( and not api). Google
is accessed for any translation request only if this flag is present, and not otherwise.
-h, --help Print this usage message and exit.
-v, --version Print version and exit.

time. Minimum and default is 0, which means no difficulty.
-e, --overwrite Will over write the file with all the events that were read from file, and all newly received. Is

Nostr Console v0.1.1-beta: Encrypted group chat and reply-to in Public Channels
Binaries
All binaries built using Github workflow automatically
- nostr_console_win64.zip this has a win64 executable file.
- nostr_console_elf64.zip this has a elf 64 executable file, dynamically linked, built using 'dart compile' on a Ubuntu 21 64 bit
- nostr_console_macOS.zip has an executable .app file. Needs to be unzipped. Built similarly on macOS
Use all_nostr_events.txt ( zipped as rar) as --file option to the application, which improves the performance because even if some events are not received, they are read from such a file. The program creates such a file ( by saving all events into it) if you do not supply this file initially.
