one? laboriously? record? Oh, you're suggesting this would be done manually!
Genius! Tell the devs.
Seriously tho, normal thread construction could be done either way by the client. The way its done now (first post at the top, then reply underneath) is very logical.
Don't confuse threads with the raw chronological feed.
The quoted note within a note case is the weird one - for some reason devs decided to put the referenced note after the reply to it.

awkward, but (top posting or not) its always necessary to get to the first post to get the full context, right?

2024-08-07 17:33:51

- reply

Haha. we used to call this 'top posting'. It was mocked and reviled (for good reasons imho). But these days reading your messages from the bottom upwards seems to be standard everywhere.
I digress ... the note contains an embedded quote, so you read the quote first to get the context.

I guess you're joking, but in case not ...
Its absurd that my desktop client needs a phone to work.
10 secs is a slight exaggeration.
Find the phone, load the wallet, enter login details, set the zap in Gossip, scan QR code with phone, ...
Compare that convoluted procedure to the single mouse click I use to zap with any other nostr client on my desktop.

Could you list the desktop apps you've tried for us?
Last time I tried this, Gossip was the only one that worked (but no zaps unfortunately).

I might have missed a native desktop nostrudel i guess, but i doubt it. Correct me if i'm wrong please.
If it uses your browser, its not native.
These clients seem to be designed for phones and use the browser infrastructure, then they get slightly changed for the desktop. As a result they are slow, clunky, usually rather buggy and are huge resource hogs.

Me too occasionally, but its still not a native desktop app.

2024-08-05 01:27:01

Gossip worked extremely well on the desktop.
I haven't been able to find another native desktop client that came anywhere near it. Its only problem is the lack of zaps.
You say 'nostr' barely works on desktop - did you try Gossip?
I'm open to suggestions for other desktop clients.

I did say I hadn't used it for over a year now. There was no wallet connectivity and you made comments that led me to believe you had no serious plans to add anything like that. Even now I still watch github to see if any relevant changes are being implemented.
More recently you've made your legal concerns clear. I can't fault you for that, but was disappointed that the possibility now seemed even more remote.

2024-08-05 00:59:33

Fewer desktop users certainly, but also your attitude to zaps is important (for me anyway).
I'd love to use Gossip again.

I can speak for Ubuntu only but I installed it and upgraded many times without a glitch. So easy that I ended up using non-master branches regularly.
I stopped using it over a year ago though because it offered no zaps and Mike made it clear he would never add them.

Naa. That's like wanting to replace light-years with meters.
These days we add multipliers milli, kilo, mega etc to the basic unit and then we might as well use bitcoin as the reference unit.
Down around the satoshi range you'd be looking at nanoBTC (1 nBTC = 0.1 satoshi) and microBTC (1 uBTC = 100 satoshi).
I see no need for satoshis at all actually ...

I see something like that when i use Sparrow to create a tx, sign it with a coldcard, then broadcast it using a different wallet (Electrum). Muun calls it an error and fails Electrum complains but still broadcasts it successfully.
OTOH, Muun calls it an error and fails.
Are you mixing wallets?

After a decade of faiures to create a decentralized internet money, and then mathematical proof (late 90's as i recall) you couldn't solve the byzantine general problem, they lost the momentum and gave up. When Satoshi presented bitcoin and solved a slightly different version, they mostly remained negative. Sad to see.

I'd avoid religious government countries.
Thailand was my choice too, but warning - Thailand has become much more authoritarian over the last few years. Bank accounts are almost impossible to open, capital controls are limiting (so hold BTC!). There are other changes recently. For example english on labelling for food and pharmaceuticals has disappeared ...
Still, in Asia, I couldn't come up with a better recommendation.
I regret not exploring south america more now.

i cant remember the current sats per dollar, but i can remember the current btcusd value.
There's 100 sats per ubtc (microbtc) and 1k multipliers up to one btc...
20000sats = 200ubtc = 0.2mbtc.
Since btcusd is about $67000 now, 1 mbtc is about $67, so 0.2 is about $13.4
Easy huh? I should prolly add a memory location for the current sats per dollar value. 😉

Yes. Nuclear weapons...I don't recall fear of nuclear power (e.g.) except by some general association with weapons.
I don't recall anything specifically about PZ as a nuclear weapons prolification activist except the general statement that everyone was opposed to it. I would think I would have heard (and remember!) if he was unusually activist in that area tho.

Back then we were all nuclear 'activists' to some degree.
He became a hero when he became a free speech activist by creating and releasing PGP (and then facing retribution from the DoD and DoJ). Without that conviction we may not have any person to person encryption now.
FYI: even a few cypherpunks were unwilling to take those same risks. Most of us made our opinions clear by publishing our public key on the mailing list.

I started with bitcoind on my desktop and (years later) moved to Umbrel, but after a year or so of unexplained hangups and failures, I switched to Start9.
Now I have zero frustrations. Even Tor seems more reliable!
If you don't have the money for the prebuilt server and you have some tech skills, build your own Start9

There's a distinct paucity of desktop clients.
PWA clients feel clunky and usually have bugs (Primal included!). No wallet there also.
Any chance of a native desktop client for (say) Ubuntu with a zap capability? Something like Gossip with zaps?

its an open protocol, but there would have to be a way to efficiently filter that crap out of my feed. I mention that coz i've been having trouble removing shitcoin stuff while keeping bitcoin stuff in my RSS feed - client dependent of course.

When I asked for releases more often, I was thinking a master build would be a bigger deal than it turned out to be. Rust seems to be quite nice in this respect.
Since then I'm using master. Takes a bit longer to build and start up but at least you're up to date.
I'm ok with fewer releases.
Still no zaps tho. 😂

Release often, of course.
Unless you find it takes so much extra time to feature freeze, etc and coordinate many contributors.
My choice would be to build it out of sync with your releases. I doubt I would have much success deciding exactly when to do that, so I haven't tried yet.
Gossip is my 'daily driver' but I find myself shutting it down just to go to Nostragram to watch (and participate in) the zapfest. And the pretty colors of course. :)
Not sure why exactly, but I loved using zaps to pay for relays, for example.
I can probably resist the urge more now I think. :)
