How many ppl in your “Web of Trust” are already following an ai bot or impersonator … unwittingly or maybe for fun?

AFAIK, this is done by sending a NIP-42 ephemeral event. Regular HTTP auth DOES NOT WORK over nostr, because there is no server side to verify credentials. NIP-42 is how relays can dynamically authenticate client access.

Imma agree with DJ on this. If GitHub was rugged, teams wd move elsewhere. Git itself doesn’t even need to be hosted, for project collaborators to share their code. There are other git hosting services.
It’s unfortunate that teams have centralized toward GitHub. But in this case, at least, don’t see centralization as an “Achilles heel”, more of just a disappointment.

You know … when @npub1san…qjdd and I first started the nostrmeet.me project, THIS was his pet, a peer-to-peer identity verification layer for Nostr. His NIVS whitepaper introduced a distinct event type where npubs could verify each other by signing. (link?)
But the architecture is not what keeps this idea (and all other explicit attestations of trust) from seeing daylight.
Everybody knows that “most” people will not bother to “explicitly attest” for each other, and those that do will prolly game the system.
However, using My Grapevine as a backstop, providing “implied” attestations and spam protection, might help to draw actual user participation.
A hybrid solution may be the key … but yea … participation is the door to open.

I think you missed the point of my question … if it matters.
Today, nostr is a reservoir for freedom culture. In the not so far future, when Nostr is global and the standard “nostr app” is a hybrid app, indistinguishable from any other black box reseller of user data, Nostr will no longer be this reservoir. It will no longer hold value as freedom tech.
SO WHAT if this is inevitable. Freedom culture is always under threat.
So my more direct question is:
“How do we retain freedom culture even as the tools we build to support it are eroded by NGU culture?”

Yea … but is it still freedom tech, if ppl bring their own black box storage for monetizing user data?
#note17xt…9f8u

2024-08-28 16:17:19

- reply

Yes it is complicated. But there are a “finite” set of these data types (Nostr event kinds that interact with other events in ways that may be interesting for WoT) to calculate.
There doesn’t need to be a standard of “which data types” should be used “in which manner” by clients. Some de facto standards may arise, while other algo inputs will only increase in complexity. Standards are not as important as adaptability.
For the foreseeable future, developers of WoT recommendation engines will have to keep their ears to the ground to adapt their algo inputs accordingly. But this complication does not need to be developed all at once or overnight.
Mind you, this is a new perspective for me. It’s much easier to just say “let’s make a standard”, to make development easier. But life IRL does not work this way. Life adapts. So we must learn to adapt as Nostr grows.
Today we do this. Tomorrow we do a bit more. Baby steps.

No. Social onboarding is a way of leveraging real world webs of trust to strengthen the Nostr network.
I am just a dumb fool crazy enough to put ideas on paper and put a bit of broken code on the web to maybe solve for it.
My open source code is a reference client. The first of hopefully many “social onboarding clients” to come. Also, hopefully, it will evolve into a library (social onboarding wizard) that other (not dedicated) clients can implement.
So no. Social onboarding is not centralized. Just a good idea for Nostr.
It’s all in the article. Read it.

2024-08-27 17:57:52

Exactly the point I’m making! All clients across the Nostr network will benefit from customizable invites by any social onboarding (enabled) client.
YES, invites by nostrmeet.me will be customizable to “recommend” any Nostr client (by URL or AppStore link) for the new user…

2024-08-27 17:33:11

- reply

@npub1r0r…q9ac and @npub1qny…95gx are not entirely convinced that a “dedicated onboarding client” is the best way to solve for onboarding … however, social onboarding is different.
- links and QR codes (for inviting friends) MUST land on a web based client, and installing a native client will ALWAYS be more steps for the end user.
- The UX for customizable invites and network discovery of recommended clients, relays, follows, and other stuff should REALLY be a polished flow. Most social clients will not have such a polished flow as a dedicated onboarding client, or at least a “plug and play” wizard that can be added to their own client.
- the most important feature for social onboarding is immediate and private communication between the invited and their advocate inviter. This can be as simple as implementing gift-wrapped direct messaging in the onboard client itself.
nostrmeet.me fulfills all of these needs. it is a “dedicated onboard client” because, despite the hurdle of having “yet another client”, exactly this kind of client IS what is needed for social onboarding.

nostr.build is in this list, with 8 reports of “apparent child pornography”. That’s not a lot, but more than we should want to see.
While image uploads are more vulnerable to be taken down than other Nostr content (because an image is only hosted in one location) there are a growing number of these upload services available for Nostr clients.
I’m not sure how illegal image content should be restricted on Nostr, but I’m eager to see this conversation unfold.

David. I think you’re onto something really big here… but the iceberg goes deep.
- The use case for “auto generated lists” (as we are imagining) is novel to Nostr. It’s not exactly “covered” by design in the NIP51 spec nor accounted for by any client developer.
- and even as they are, lists are not really used by clients in ways that they could or should be.
- these two facts go hand in hand … because lists are assumed to be “made by hand” then clients don’t implement them as data stores for various needs, because that would too much to ask of end users.
- so there’s a paradigm shift we’re up against which will be more work to change than just designing a “d tag standard”.
But also… that’s a good idea. 👍🏼

Nostr may be better with Bitcoin, but Bitcoin needs Nostr.
Nostr is a reservoir for “freedom culture”, which is being diluted by “number go up” culture.
Bitcoin may be designed to fix the system, but the powers that be won’t go down with a fight. Freedom culture is the obvious target. As long as “Bitcoin only” is the mantra, then the freedoms promised by Bitcoin will slowly be eroded.
Nostr is how we preserve the “culture of freedom” so that we can manifest the future promised by Bitcoin.

When measuring Nostr’s global market share, however, we need to be aware that “hybrid” Nostr apps will not have the same freedom power as “Nostr only” apps.
If it uses Nostr as identity layer, and stores user data in a local DB, is it really freedom tech?
Hybrid apps are inevitable. Question is, how do we measure success and promote freedom tech?

Web of Trust is the right term because trust is the simplest descriptor.
We cannot (yet?) quantify trust and therefore, it needs to be implied. We create open and competing algorithms to determine trust from any perspective of the network. The actual data we use, regardless of weight, gets us closer to trust without EVER equating to trust itself.
However, a quality of “trust” between individuals IS the simplest descriptor of human connections within a network.
