This did work! It turns out I was missing an import “websocket-polyfill” in my code as well. Thanks so much for taking the time to help me debug this!

Ok I didn’t mark any relay as an “inbox”. I’m still really new to the whole inbox concept. Is there documentation for it? Or do you have a quick explanation of it?
I’ll try setting it as an inbox when I get some free time later today.
I really appreciate your help!! I was actually using Coracle to test this in the first place 😝.

This. Documentation is tough. It’s the boring part of software engineering. But if you’re gonna build software that you expect others to use, it’s critical. Even more so for a protocol like this. You have to brute force it to be a priority.

Here is my code. Ran this code, expected to receive a message on this npub when using a client that supported NIP-17. But didn’t receive any messages. So not sure even how to begin debugging.

Tbh I don’t know. Tried running the following code, expected it to show up on this npub on a client that supports NIP-17. But didn’t receive any message.

NIP-17 is awful. I can’t even get it to work. Obviously I’m doing something really dumb, but spent a few days before giving up.
This is exactly where #nostr could fail. The NIP process is long and tedious, yet incomplete. Is anyone thinking about the scalability and long term impacts of these proposals? More time should be spent on that as opposed to all these dumb little proposals that have almost no usage. Let’s get the foundation right first.

One other thing about this I forgot to mention. You should be able to view the entire history the npub. #nostr doesn’t really support deleting notes, so you should be able to view the entire history to backup my claim that it wasn’t reused and has only been used for that project.
The whole point of #nostr is to verify not trust. So don’t trust my word, verify it yourself 😉.
If you do happen to remember why you blocked it or anything, please let me know. I’m committed to addressing any concerns or problems the community has in regards to it. (Also all the source code is open source, so also trying to be transparent too) ✈️

Nope. The npub I mentioned has always been used for that AirportStatusBot project and has not been used for anything else.

2024-08-07 04:31:53

@npub1nzr…36v5 now supports direct messages! Message the bot and ask it questions and it will reply with some useful information. This feature is in alpha, and still in active development. But wanted to ship it to get feedback.
On a more technical note, NIP-17 I couldn't get to work at all with it (only supports NIP-04). Asked in the #nostr telegram and didn't get any replies. If anyone wants to take a look and help debug, let me know. But I think #nostr is on track to fail miserably if developers can't even figure out how to use non-deprecated standards after spending days on it.

As far as I know, NIP-42 is implemented in Damus TestFlight. It’s just requests made prior to that auth command aren’t retried. Which is a (fairly) minor edge case. By and large it should be working tho.

One thing we do have to think about is how this will work for phrases (ie. if you have a mute that contains multiple words). Should be possible, but an edge case we need to think about, and ensure we handle correctly.

I think there is a difference between users, and relay operators here. The biggest benefits to interoperability are for users.
I think the other assumption with your comment seems to be that of a single relay model. #nostr isn’t a single relay (or server) model. It can be if the user decides to go down that path. But it doesn’t have to be.
Client devs tho benefit off of interoperability because it brings more content into #nostr. Which leads to a better user experience.

Are on-chain fees cheap and accessible right now? It truly depends on the use cases. Some use cases are completely impossible today due to on-chain fees.
I wouldn’t say on-chain fees are cheap or accessible today.
If you’re moving lots of Bitcoin, then sure it’s cheap. But smaller transactions exist. And it’s big business.

Love that you’re thinking through the UX side of this. We need to always remember the 99% of users instead of just the 1% of super tech savvy users.
If we want #nostr to win it needs to be dead simple and a great experience for those who aren’t super tech savvy.

Well not everyone uses #nostr. Just as an example @npub108p…yev6 runs a bridge that lets nostr users interact with ActivityPub users.
If you’re only using your own relay, and not reading or writing to any other relays, then you probably don’t benefit from that. (Unless of course you get those bridges to read & write from your relay).

Sure! NIP-42 is a way for clients to authenticate to relays. From the user perspective it’s seamless and invisible to you.
But it enables a relay to know what user/pubkey is connected to their relay. This is primarily used for paid relays (ex. filter.nostr.wine) or relays that only send your DMs to authenticated users (ex. nostr.wine).
filter.nostr.wine for example before NIP-42 required you to change the URL to include your npub so they knew who was connecting. However that isn’t very secure and it didn’t provide true authentication.
I’m sure there are a lot of use cases I’m missing. But at a high level it allows a relay to verify who a user/pubkey is that is connected to their relay.
Hopefully that helps explain it.
