apparently i was just banned from the Nostr telegram group for… calmly explaining how data ownership works? responding to questions that people asked me?
i point out the issues with nostr because i care about the UX. honestly go fuck yourself fiatjaf.

oh yeah i always forget that nostr isn’t peer-to-relay-to-peer but rather relay-to-relay.
i guess the dream is to get nostr on a home server like Umbrel or something then.

random, but couldn’t you include the relay code inside of a client?

2022-01-25 22:56:00

is it possible for a relay to relay my notes without my approval?
for example, if i only want to relay with nodes that i trust to behave well

That would be like BIP-47 for nostr accounts, right?

clever! 💡

1. is account follows and relays (and any future settings) encrypted on relays?
2. if not, can someone query a relay for all the accounts on it and all settings on the accounts?

do you think it would work to create a one-click deploy recipe for heroku or digital ocean?

1. it’s about your threat level. most people don’t have arch-enemies downloading all their stuff constantly.
2. you can do things like not make everything unencrypted plain text by default

some relay nodes seem to block UTF-8, others accept it. Seems a little odd considering that even latin alphabet languages are often UTF-8 encoded now, right?

In order to have a platform worth sharing on, you need to support the 99% that barely post. Otherwise, who will be your audience of this important information that you want to spread?
But yeah, maybe encryption will become more common on nostr

I think as the design is today, the only solution for privacy is to have multiple accounts

2022-01-19 02:46:31

Perhaps everyone in the network should be their own server. Maybe everything we publish lives on our own nodes and instead of sharing the original data, we only share view keys.
We can then revoke view keys. Or we can delete data and those view keys will lead to nothing.

The primary concern is not "how do I spread this message as far and wide as possible", but rather "how do I communicate with who i want to communicate, without increasing my threat vector"

2022-01-19 02:43:14

We need to talk about deletes. I think most people do not want to be public figures. Most people would prefer privacy by default. The nature of a global, plaintext database that is downloadable by anyone is mortifying given the state of the world.

Not everyone wants to be a public figure. It's like a license plate. Some will choose to get a vanity plate if they want to be more public. Just some thoughts

I don't like the idea of gossiping nicknames to all ends of the network. i think it will confuse users and make them feel like their privacy is being violated. I prefer to remain a pubkey unless someone sets their own (private) name for me or I add username mapping to a domain.

how do you add them?

it would be cool for municipalities to run relays only for people that live in a town/city. proof of residence of something

2022-01-19 01:43:39

- reply

you solved it already by allowing clients to only ask for the X most recent notes, right?

2022-01-19 00:00:38

How to track the "seen" status on previous events? We don't want to overload a user with something they've already seen about 10 times when people "retweet".
So how do you solve this without the client keeping a local db of everything they saw?

I think pagination shouldn't be too difficult to solve :)

Same. What appeals to me is that it is an honest way of ferrying messages. Like a true 21st century postal service with a transparent economy that makes sense to people.
But I have also seen some people talk about how Lightning should only be used for money and nothing else...

2022-01-18 21:24:23

how does pagination of the timeline work? does this scale or will initial page load take longer and longer as time goes on?

2022-01-17 18:43:31

I’d like to see some Nostr SDKs more than Nostr apps. Give people an SDK that gives them contacts, timelines, etc for free

understandable haha. I just think it could be one of those things where you only commit to keeping the english version up to date and if others want to translate, they can. a lot of minority languages are underserved by existing apps with walled off translation systems

2022-01-16 19:09:02

allowing the community to add language translations to Branle would be a simple way to expand usage quickly

nostr should be able to have stuff like private inboxes if it supports shared secrets. https://raw.githubusercontent.com/thrownness/decentralized-jamstack-comments-engine/master/DecentralizedCommentsPattern.jpg
yep, cactus came out later. it's worse bc matrix topology imo

i made a decentralized jamstack comments system with Gun. you could do the same pattern with Nostr i think.

a “pubring” in this context is basically like a twitter “list” then. it would be cool if you could follow en masse from such a list. maybe there could be an import / export tool for lists of followers / follows

2022-01-09 01:31:50

I think the client should display something when you lose a connection to a relay. Because you can click publish on a Note and it could just disappear if you don’t have connections.

2021-12-30 22:12:23

How is NOSTR different from the Lightning network? Seems like the only diff is that LN has economics already built in
