NOSTR is for whatever the person wants to create and find its funding in whatever way it sees fit.
I could just as easily go on some blah blah opinion that zaps are the false messaging as it’s assigning a monetary transaction to something that’s inherently non-transactional (free).
It wouldn’t matter because it’s up to the dev.
Zaps are one of many ways to fund Nostrs devs and servers, but it’s non-essential to NOSTR beyond that.

It’s looking like this was a failure of a rollout from crowdstrike, controlled by them and not administrators. Time to switch vendors for those who had it then.
There are other great options out there to replace Crowdstrike but honestly, they could probably do the same level of bricking. It’s a controls issue. With great power comes great responsibility.

I may be going crazy but I think you can store passkeys in an app file rather than the OS.
For example, I just stored mine in a Keepass file using Strongbox on iOS.
Regarding the key, I assume they just need to add another app for social interaction but I think technically what they have already could be considered a monetary nostr clients.
You’re right though, I would like them to add a social capability in-app.

2024-07-18 04:02:03

- reply

So someone has a way for me to bind passkeys to a NOSTR login now?! If they have this code downloadable somewhere I may just have to move to a new npub!
This and keepass together may be all I need.
Their wording like it ultimately relies on Android or iOS is weird though. Passkeys are agnostic.

Noob here.
What about NIP41 requires centralization? The announcement of the revocation? If so, could we remove the requirement for announcement?
Could NIP41 suggest generating something like 12000 keys (1 per month for 100 years) instead of the proposed 256 in the NIP? Then everyone rotates on the first of the month if they want to?
Too much processing on onboarding or recovery? Or too much of a pain for each client to download the list of 1200 keys for each of their contacts? If that’s too much then rotate yearly Puts the burden on clients, not relays (except load) or Nostr code. Remain backwards compatible for all existing keys. Clients could choose to care or not about rotated out keys. Clients could say “outdated contact, use caution” etc.

I agree with a lot of what you’re saying. I disagree that it’s not worth preferring to use the products of those who you agree with and financially supporting (zaps to donos) those who are doing things aligned with your beliefs, whatever they may be. I’m not going to advocate for anyone else to boycott anything, I just don’t want to associate with a message or whoever says it that I don’t believe in. That’s OK.
I don’t think it has got to stop. I’m not marginalizing, I’m choosing.
I’ll still tell everyone I know of that is looking for features Coracle has that Coracle is a great app, I’m just not going to use it if I don’t support the developer. At least before he reproached it.
I don’t think by preferring to support only some products of NOSTR and none of the mainstream apps you mention am I creating an environment where those mainstream apps are having a benefit.
Re - leftist labeling crap. Believe what you want but let me get back to my owned land and property in the United States with my wife and kids where I spend my time aligning with conservative ideals while I celebrate national holidays when I have time to post on social media I typically avoid.

Yes, I don’t fail to pay attention to the weaponization of almost everything done with good intentions.
Just because you didn’t celebrate it in your family before it was a national holiday doesn’t mean millions of Americans didn’t for decades before and have worked for years to have it be a holiday nationally and not just observed in their state. It’s anecdotal and I’m only saying it because the way you responded but my family has observed it for decades - it’s nothing new and it’s silly to imply otherwise.
No, im not reading some right-leaning or left-leaning article recommend to me by someone being as outwardly defensive as you are being.
I’m not saying you can’t consider yourself the victim and think your values are being attacked. It’s weird and irrelevant to me, I have no idea what you’re talking about regarding that, but go ahead.
“Call me racist” - I didn’t say anything remotely like that. I’m not calling you anything, I asked a clarify question because I wanted to make an informed decision on associating myself with, using, or financially supporting anything you work on with Nostr, Coracle or otherwise.
If your referenced values have you act the way you are now, then I want nothing to do directly with them, or you, or what you are making. That’s all I wanted to be sure of.
A strength of Nostr is that we don’t have to agree with others wholly to support parts Nostr. Those of us who have values they want to hold true to have to be sure of what they are associating with or supporting, regardless of who or what those values may be.
Thanks for clarifying.
Take care.

It does do something.
It’s not posted on your note for you to see it. Clients can hide that event so you don’t even have to see it. Apps can use the results to filter out content.
For example __
Follow the Tagr bot to filter out NSFW and harassing text. Tagr bot screens the text people followed by Nos users for NSFW, illegal, and harassing content and displays a Tagr overlay of the content for those who follow the bot. Users who follow the bot still have the option to view the content if they choose.

Free speech is great yep, but it’s so easy to just mute and move on.

@npub1gcx…nj5z
Hey. So I heard some great things about Amethyst so I got ahold of an Android phone to try it out.
It’s awesome! I did find several things probably worth reporting though in case they haven’t been found yet.
v0.87.5-PLAY
Here you go.
- When I click to edit my photo or banner the buttons at the top render and then 1 second later they jump up several pixels.
- When writing a new note, there’s a button in the top middle of the window that I think is to pick relays. When I click on it, the app crashes (Android 14, kernel 5/13/2024).
- It looks like there are two buttons on the profile screen to copy the npub. I assume one copied to users name but they actually appear to be duplicate and both copy the whole npub.
- If I click my profile in the top-right corner, sometimes the back button must be pressed twice to return to the previous screen instead of once.
- My profile photo on my profile page fills the circle around profile photos but on the profile editing page it doesn’t. It shows some of my banner inside the profile photo circle. I think this is because my photo is portrait.
- Under “hidden words” the button to add hidden words is grayed out and not clickable but I don’t see if say anywhere why.
- If in you have “note discovery” selected in the 4th tab and you leave that tab and come back, pressing “marketplace” doesn’t work on the first try. You have to press it a couple of times.
Thanks for having such an awesome Android app for Android users!

Oh nice. I didn’t know tapping the left and right would switch notes.
I think the first time I used it I tried swiping and then when swiping switched between people it didn’t seem quite right so I stopped using it.
For example, I clicked on a person to get there so I guess I assumed swiping wouldn’t switch to a different person once I was in there, if that makes sense.

Excellent question. Keeping your ear to the ground and asking around probably.

For now, it’s about finding out.
For example, I recently contacted one of the major app-dev/relay-hoster about potentially-illegal content referenced in a post. They said they wouldn’t do anything about it because the content wasn’t hosted by them.

I disagree that reporting it is censoring. Notes are not always censored upon reporting. Relay operators (or apps depending on if they collect the report in-app) are the censors.
My apologies if i was unclear. I only meant that simply a report doesnt automatically censor, but aid in it.
A relay operator or app can choose to even ignore the report or wait for 1000 reports per note before censoring if they choose to.
Up to them.

An opinon expose piece is written and its “cancel culture” but people DMing the writer telling them they should feel bad for it are not? Thats crazy.
Im not “reading between the lines” (buying your narrative). There is so much overreaction about this. The apparent freedom some Nostr users advocate for here seems to be so thin-skinned its hard to take it seriously.

Privately messaging someone how upset you are really doesn’t make Nostr look good to non-nostr users.
