projects like this make me question if the average nostr developer is capable of evaluating if a project is a good idea beyond “it allows me to slap decentralized on it” #note1skq…gf0l

They are competing for blockspace even with Segwit. Not that it would stop spam.
Please do research.

Made it cheaper how?
On the surface it may seem like it but you have to realize this availability of space meant more demand and more fees, until the market reached the amount they would pay reasonably per byte stored
Contain more spam, sure, but also contains more non-spam TXs

None of those are true

Inscriptions could happen before SegWit, it would have only meant fees would have gone up a little less.
And it would pollute the UTXO set instead of storing it in witness

this is a horrible idea, and the reason why it wasn’t done with bitcoin addresses… except…
you could try correcting the error and see if the nsec/npub inputted already exists, and the chance of two npubs being off by only a few bits is low

this is not a scam, maybe read before you post

Same could very well happen for Nostr, especially with the corporate/VC/OpenSats capture. It’ll take time but it could very well become quasi-permissionless like e-mail.

Yes, the only way you can verify it with custom firmware is to ask the bootloader itself for its hash from the docs.

2024-08-19 17:45:18

The entire problem is that the bootloader has to be trusted with attesting what it is.

And should it not apply to just the word as is? Prefix/suffix matches should use wildcards imho.

And that’s fine.
But people building random shit and hoping someone finds it, or that we randomly stumble across the “killer app” for Nostr is mistaken.

the solution is hardened derivation but hardened derivation can only be calculated via xprv, not xpub

2024-08-18 15:43:36

- reply

critical flaw:
xpub derivation works by putting the chain code C and index I through a hash function to get a modifier private key m
using the base private key b, you can calculate the derived key as b + m
for public part, m can still be calculated (chain code and index are public), but you only get base public key B
you convert m to a public key M, and calculate B + M, and that is the public key for b + m
now if b + m, the derived key, gets leaked, and the base xpub is public, m can be calculated and subtracted from b + m, to get b
you can from there calculate any other derivation path

Those relays can pull their content in anyway.
There is also no definitive way to check a deletion without breaking any scheme that runs deletions every say 15 minutes.

The entire point of relays is that they are replaceable: unless you can self host a relay (hard) you can’t really trust any.
We need to focus more on making it accessible to the average user to create a community without being beholden to a relay host that can terminate their relay and in a more affordable way than paying a lot for a relay
