Agreed. If they are just making the best product possible so that they can exploit their users for profit once they have network effect, and when it’s difficult to leave, that’s not good. That’s exactly what WhatsApp did. WhatsApp used to have great privacy, originally.

Seems like a very centralized solution. If everyone does that, then maybe the cure is worse than the disease.

I didn’t know SimpleX was for profit. Isn’t it an open source decentralized app/network run by the community, rather than by a “for profit” company?

It’s a fork of Signal though, isn’t it? And the security of that has been looked into quite rigorously already.

- reply

I mean in the context of NOSTR, for the purpose of spam and noise reduction.
In the context of X, there is no need for a web of trust, because the platform itself is the one and only arbiter of what is allowed and disallowed.

2024-09-05 07:30:09

Wouldn’t “web of trust” just become a new form of centralization, because the majority of people would just tend to use the most popular “trusted users”?

Don’t try to change people. The best thing you can do is curate your friends, if it’s something you care about. The simple truth is likely that they just wanted to do something else more than see through their plans with you.

It’s more than just trusting relays. It’s trusting all the clients that received the note through the relays too, before you decided to delete your note.
You can’t delete something from the internet.*

2024-08-14 15:35:20

- reply

Don’t know about your client, but on #damus, images are uploaded to an ordinary HTTP server and linked into the note, not inlined.
Advantage: simple
Disadvantage: very centralized and not very censorship resistant

I get it. So you can watch the livestream in your NOSTR app. That’s cool. That’s what I would like too. Seems like it’s not working in #damus though.

I see you referenced something called Zap Stream.
But have you ever seen a post on NOSTR, where you can watch the stream directly inside your NOSTR client? #asknostr

#NOSTR already allows sharing images and videos.

This seems like a problem without a solution however. What makes NOSTR powerful is also what makes NOSTR dangerous.

It would be great if public mutes were still encrypted using the npub, so that nobody except you/your client knows who you are muting.
This has the benefit of taking your mute list with you wherever you go, without giving up your #privacy.
Does anyone know how this is currently implemented in #damus? #asknostr

2024-08-12 13:43:42

You’re in control, yes, but most data is still public, so it’s all going to get used anyway, I suspect.

2024-08-06 13:53:47

- reply

Self hosting doesn’t seem to solve the issue. The image is still stored at a single address, corresponding to a single (censorable) server.
Images in #nostr notes do not have any kind of #redundancy. This decreases #censorship resistance.
Images are important too. Right? #asknostr

2024-08-06 13:12:11

It seems like the main selling point that #nostr has over every other social network is #censorship resistance. People often liken NOSTR to #Bitcoin in this way. But if images in #damus (or any client) are uploaded to https://nostr.build by default, then all a censor (such as China) needs to do is block that domain, and now all those images are broken. How is that censorship resistant? #asknostr

Try paying for Starbucks, or McDonald’s (or anything really), with Bitcoin in San Salvador (the capital city of El Salvador). Nobody excepts it.

How does a person mute a “phrase” in #damus?

2024-07-29 14:46:07

Is anyone else’s home feed getting spammed with a tonne of identical notes, all asking for donations?
It’s weird because I am not following any of these accounts, and they don’t include hashtags that I follow, so I have no idea why they are in my feed in the first place.
It’s making the #damus experience almost unusable lately.
Muting doesn’t seem to help much, since the spammer seems to be using many different npubs.
#asknostr

2024-07-28 19:15:25

I think #NOSTR is great, but people who think it is going to take over and out-compete (or even be equal to) centralized platforms seem kind of deluded.
Most people just don’t care about “owning” their data. Most people don’t care about getting banned (because most people don’t get banned). They just care if it works or not. And for most people, for most purposes, the existing platforms continue to just work.
Censorship resistance is where NOSTR excels, but it’s a niche market, and maybe always will be.

I’m not saying to encrypt all public things on nostr. I’m saying to encrypt everything that goes through a push server, so Apple doesn’t see what you’re doing on nostr and link that to your real world identity, should you care about privacy.

2024-07-04 20:21:01

The purpose of encryption is not to “hide public infomation”, as you imply. The purpose is to make “what you are doing on your phone” private by default.

That’s not true. The “v=XXXXXXXXXX” is the ID of the video itself, which is necessary.

When someone shares a #YouTube video link, what is that extra, completely unneeded part that looks like:
si=XXXXXXXXXXXXX
Is that a “share identifier”?
Is Google using that to identify who originally shared the video, and who you are associated with based on who is else is clicking it?

It would be nice if there was a video, under one minute long, that showed someone converting some #Bitcoin into #cashu #ecash, sending some of it to someone, and then receiving some too. Even cooler if they could finish by bringing it all the way back to sats in a #lightning wallet.

Perhaps get Purple if you want to support the developer making the Damus app.

So maybe just zapping the developer directly on Nostr would be more effective.

Yes. Setting a recovery email can be bad OPSEC because you can possibly be identified by it.
But that’s not the point. The point is that ProtonMail has access to your shit, otherwise they wouldn’t be able to help you “recover”.

2024-06-07 14:24:17

It seems to me that #ProtonMail is lying when they say that they cannot read your emails.
If they don’t have access to your emails, then how could they possibly let you back into your account if you’ve forgotten your password?
Whatever it is that they send to your recovery email to get back into your account, they obviously have access to the same thing, otherwise how did they send it to you?
Am I wrong?

How does one know that the messages are encrypted such that Apple cannot read the messages?

- reply

On iOS, it appears to be possible to end-to-end encrypt notification payloads, so that they only get decrypted locally on the recipients device: https://stackoverflow.com/a/42073503
In that case, Apple would not have access to the message content contained in the notification.
However, do apps like Signal actually do this?

2024-06-06 09:56:48

- reply

Change what settings? Use what other client?

2024-06-06 09:43:40

Even if you’re using a private messaging app like #Signal:
- All your messages show up on your iPhone/Android in your notifications.
- All notifications are sent through Apple’s servers in the case of iPhone, and Google’s servers in the case of Android.
Does this mean Apple and/or Google can read all your messages?
