Last Notes npub18n4ysp43ux5c98fs6h9c57qpr4p8r3j8f6e32v0vj8egzy878aqqyzzk9r Freakoverse Would be useful, though I'm hoping someone else does it, though if such a time comes where relays are being censored left and right, and nobody is doing anything, and it's affecting my project, then i would have no choice and must figure something out. npub18n4ysp43ux5c98fs6h9c57qpr4p8r3j8f6e32v0vj8egzy878aqqyzzk9r Freakoverse I think the conclusion in all of this is that definitions (what is bitcoin) have changed, and being clear on those definitions with what Bitcoin is will help things (in a bitter sense? sure, but better than being in a messy state). For example, considering what I know so far, from what bitcoin was at the start to how it evolved and what it is now, it's definition to me has changed from "A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System" to something like "A Managed Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash and File-Storage System". If something else comes along that gets developed in a way that retains the original definition as closely as possible, then it'll exist and people will use it. Will it be as popular? Probably not. Will it be as resiliant with its hashing power? Probably not. And many will think of it as a shame that is the case, and maybe because of that it will never be trully successful in terms of resisting attacks, but i'd imagine that the conclusion many will have there is "better than nothing, and we'll keep trying" all the while still making use of current Bitcoin for whatever their needs are, like any other crypto. Another thing what'll happen is that many will try to change bitcoin back to its original definition, but probably that won't happen because of short-term financial incentives/benefits. At least not until something bad happens where then most would start running to fix things. I guess we'll see what happens. On my end? I'm just one dude and sure i'll be a part of an attempt to restore bitcoin to its original definition, and if it works out great, if not then oh well, and i'll just see bitcoin in its now new definition, that's it, as well as use whatever new thing that pops up that holds that old definition if it becomes viable. In other words, like with Ethereum or other crypto, i will *utilize* current-bitcoin, and i will utilize and *support* old-defined-bitcoin, whatever it may be. I think that's a good approach in the current state of things. To persue ideals but not to reject reality. npub18n4ysp43ux5c98fs6h9c57qpr4p8r3j8f6e32v0vj8egzy878aqqyzzk9r Freakoverse Btw, "don't trust, verify" is now practically possible for the average person to actually do because of AI. Yes not all AI or prompt and person will get a proper thorough review, one might see a vulnurability and one might not, but hey, everyone can do this now and better than before when the answer was "i didn't verify". npub18n4ysp43ux5c98fs6h9c57qpr4p8r3j8f6e32v0vj8egzy878aqqyzzk9r Freakoverse Two brazilian wolps walk into a bar... (what happens next?) npub18n4ysp43ux5c98fs6h9c57qpr4p8r3j8f6e32v0vj8egzy878aqqyzzk9r Freakoverse Do not help the sheep remove their shackles, take advantage of them to help those who are trying to remove their shackles and those who are already free. Change your mental to this, and you'll have a higher chance of success, and the right people getting the full benefits. npub18n4ysp43ux5c98fs6h9c57qpr4p8r3j8f6e32v0vj8egzy878aqqyzzk9r Freakoverse I feel like Wolp Corporate doesn't have a clean closet regarding this... just a hunch. Does... Corporina was it? Does she have any public statement to say about this? x3 npub18n4ysp43ux5c98fs6h9c57qpr4p8r3j8f6e32v0vj8egzy878aqqyzzk9r Freakoverse Dang... is the wolps corp hiring by any chance? jokes aside, hope you find a better job npub18n4ysp43ux5c98fs6h9c57qpr4p8r3j8f6e32v0vj8egzy878aqqyzzk9r Freakoverse Broke hub fetching again in den chat (on the side where your hubs appear) but then fixed it, all the while made them load much faster =3 npub18n4ysp43ux5c98fs6h9c57qpr4p8r3j8f6e32v0vj8egzy878aqqyzzk9r Freakoverse Yea if you want to have everything in one event then yea that'd be the way to go, though i'd imagine if you do want to go that route, it'll probably be difficult for your client to do a clean seperation of types when you query relays, since the tag isn't a single-letter tag but a full word, meaning if you have a page called /games, then the client will fetch games and mods alike and the client will have to locally filter between games and mods to just show games (same on the /mods side) npub18n4ysp43ux5c98fs6h9c57qpr4p8r3j8f6e32v0vj8egzy878aqqyzzk9r Freakoverse Yea the event for games will be very close to the event for mods, where the event for games will have a more tags/metadata than mods. On my end I'll keep the title and i think i won't have a one-letter tag for a game's name in the event, as it won't be helpful in querying a relay unless the user does an exact match of a game's name. Regarding games being referenced by a mod or a mod being referenced by a game, the a tag would be used for referencing, potentially with a second value in it to indicate that it's a game or a mod. npub18n4ysp43ux5c98fs6h9c57qpr4p8r3j8f6e32v0vj8egzy878aqqyzzk9r Freakoverse I kind of want to, later, build a 'playground' or 'sandbox' or 'tools' site, where it'll basically have all the things i want to build/prototype but not make them a full project, at least not anytime soon, just to get it out of my system, and also gauge people's interest in these things to later determin if they're worth pursuing or not. One of these ideas is something i did in the past which is a social consumer discount calculator, where people would put weights on elements that a game has, positive or negative, and then see if a game has it or not, then at the end it would say at what price you should buy the game at. (For example: Has Denuvo DRM? that's -1 (times the weight), has appealing character designs? that's +1, and so on, and then at the end it may tell you to get it at full price, or at -%20 for example, or +30% who knows maybe it's that good, or -%200 as in it's so bad that they should be paying you to play it. People share their weights and their results and it gets an average of the a price one should get it at + informative to the customer) npub18n4ysp43ux5c98fs6h9c57qpr4p8r3j8f6e32v0vj8egzy878aqqyzzk9r Freakoverse Got and finished a newly released game called Rubinite. Think of it as top-down souls-like boss-rush-mode game with a story. I very much enjoyed playing it, and yes i "finished-finished" it and got the proper ending. Game page: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1845250/Rubinite/ #gaming #indiegame #pixelart npub18n4ysp43ux5c98fs6h9c57qpr4p8r3j8f6e32v0vj8egzy878aqqyzzk9r Freakoverse Seems like there's tension with nip-29 (relay based groups) again x3 I'll just share my updated opinion on it: I came to look at it now as an improved IRC version, that's about it. I'm not against it, nor am I for it, if someone wants to use it, go for it, of course. I would've changed a few things with it, to make it better imo (I can't recall what i wanted to change with it, it's been a while, but I think it was about changing the group event authority and making the event more portable), but it is what it is. With that said, what I made with DEN Chat, it can be updated in a way to basically make it behave like nip-29, to make it where the relay (server) does the heavy lifting, while retaining the core benefits of it, i just didn't get around to going over the flow yet, which does require the relay to support this flow when it does solidify down the road. npub18n4ysp43ux5c98fs6h9c57qpr4p8r3j8f6e32v0vj8egzy878aqqyzzk9r Freakoverse I realized while doing research that, for many people, themes are a very much desirable thing. Didn't make it with that in mind i think, but will be looked into. Question is, how custom should or can it be x3 npub18n4ysp43ux5c98fs6h9c57qpr4p8r3j8f6e32v0vj8egzy878aqqyzzk9r Freakoverse ugh... i'm being lazy, den chat is basically done, i just need to adjust the emoji/sticker/giff stuff and make it slightly better maybe, and that's about it dev wise. After that i need to record and do guides and promo stuff (busy work) then publicly (publicly publicly) announce it and share it outside of nostr. npub18n4ysp43ux5c98fs6h9c57qpr4p8r3j8f6e32v0vj8egzy878aqqyzzk9r Freakoverse https://image.nostr.build/1ea75cc477a5d2db5b0b59cc81d6a0f2928fc7353700c586068ac07c082a5071.jpg . https://image.nostr.build/707996fbae8a47c1f0591d7647d73ea0a2a1f199364cf27b8b87acea920cc7b5.gif npub18n4ysp43ux5c98fs6h9c57qpr4p8r3j8f6e32v0vj8egzy878aqqyzzk9r Freakoverse there we go, found his npub @npub1syj…f6wl here's the repo: https://github.com/CodyTseng/jumble npub18n4ysp43ux5c98fs6h9c57qpr4p8r3j8f6e32v0vj8egzy878aqqyzzk9r Freakoverse nope (it's by a person named Cody), i forked it to play around with my ideas/implementations (it has this nip short, dnn, pc55 (pc local signer, upv2 (username/password v2), more in the future probably) npub18n4ysp43ux5c98fs6h9c57qpr4p8r3j8f6e32v0vj8egzy878aqqyzzk9r Freakoverse People are scared of long links x3 But also as a result, people are putting them in short link IRL services, basically risking addresses being practically lost, so this should solve this problem (even the non DNN ID version npub18n4ysp43ux5c98fs6h9c57qpr4p8r3j8f6e32v0vj8egzy878aqqyzzk9r Freakoverse Updated the spec: https://git.nostrdev.com/freakoverse/DNN/src/branch/main/docs/NIPS/NIP-SHORT.md https://video.nostr.build/6c4b7c592b78ac11f89118770f4aabbde20c52959a6a5a41b9deb46673cb8268.mp4 If you're wondering about collisions: 1. it should be handled in the background and locally adds '-' then one or more characters (example: snabandondelivera82ccf5-h or snabandondelivera82ccf5-hg) which would, upon the user opening it, auto select and render from the colisions it finds based on the s tag and the extension of it that adds another char or two and so on) 2. in a scenario where there are two with the same 6 or 7 and so on, then the client would preview both events the and the user selects the one he wants to see (and then should auto-compute an extension for the user to copy so that the next person he shares it with doesn't have this select step. I think this is good enough to have as an open on deg mods, or perhaps the main thing to show, so i'll go ahead and do it. (this was the most common feedback i got from people "the link is too long!" so this would deterministically solve it. If you want to test it out: https://jdnn.top #nevent1q…k5jq npub18n4ysp43ux5c98fs6h9c57qpr4p8r3j8f6e32v0vj8egzy878aqqyzzk9r Freakoverse Figured out a much more simplified spec for NIP-SHORT, which also speeds things up by double in comparison to before, and be less clunky. Will update the spec/doc, update the reference implementation, and show an example when all is done. npub18n4ysp43ux5c98fs6h9c57qpr4p8r3j8f6e32v0vj8egzy878aqqyzzk9r Freakoverse Alright, so here's what i did for nip17 (best effort, can't do something better than this i believe): Since we don't know who's who, nothing is shown aside from a button to decrypt the first set of layers (and one by one so there's no unintentional spam to signers) https://image.nostr.build/ce70e02bae9e340cb3af788efabc06d077f32ed17107abe1d8e4f96f54cc4ea5.jpg After that, the client would know who's who and reorganizes https://image.nostr.build/df15bae0eda8c46f2ae6f6e5b320193295b13fdcf3e9a1382325baedbecb3376.jpg Then it becomes similar to nip04 flow in the previous post with the same options npub18n4ysp43ux5c98fs6h9c57qpr4p8r3j8f6e32v0vj8egzy878aqqyzzk9r Freakoverse I was stressing out... i thought i didn't make the system as robust as i did, but there was just one issue with what I recently did (phew...) Please check if you see your hub npub18n4ysp43ux5c98fs6h9c57qpr4p8r3j8f6e32v0vj8egzy878aqqyzzk9r Freakoverse Rebuilding one of my projects, and decided to not auto-decrypt, and here's the result (all the options provided =3) https://image.nostr.build/06ebdef60879f0615a53a77c01c56416169982ec5b900056e7081708261c6437.jpg npub18n4ysp43ux5c98fs6h9c57qpr4p8r3j8f6e32v0vj8egzy878aqqyzzk9r Freakoverse It's funny how govs around the world think their solutions that they've tried so far to fix the low birthing crisis would be effective. The solution is simple, but hard: Secure me a decent job that comfortably pays for myself, my partner, my however many children they want me to have, in a house that i'd buy within 1-3 years that would comfortably fit such a family, and continue to ensure this stability along with security/saftey. How many countries are pushing this? Non, they just try and give you coupons =P npub18n4ysp43ux5c98fs6h9c57qpr4p8r3j8f6e32v0vj8egzy878aqqyzzk9r Freakoverse I'm kind of glad i didn't develop what I'd eventually call Nostr Ads Network (NAN) when i first thought of it, months/years ago, as I had an idea on how to make it but now after all the experience i have and advancements in nostr, i'm happy to scrap that idea (which was complex and had another layer of middlemen) and replace it with something that's much simpler and more direct and with bigger cuts for everyone, and should be much easier to develop as well. The new idea just came, and it'll still be a while till I get to write up the flow for this NAN, but hey, it'll be nice =3 npub18n4ysp43ux5c98fs6h9c57qpr4p8r3j8f6e32v0vj8egzy878aqqyzzk9r Freakoverse People have desires, and these desires... AI helps fulfill them effortlessly x3 npub18n4ysp43ux5c98fs6h9c57qpr4p8r3j8f6e32v0vj8egzy878aqqyzzk9r Freakoverse I need to watch old movies, they're so much more fun than modern ones =3 npub18n4ysp43ux5c98fs6h9c57qpr4p8r3j8f6e32v0vj8egzy878aqqyzzk9r Freakoverse I wanted to do a video about the god of war thing, but it's too damn hot, so here's a quick text version instead: "People hate it because it's a woman protagonist" lol no. "What do you mean she's ugly? she looks fine! have you seen her real-life model?" the standards of fiction is not the same (it's much higher) as the standards of reality. "The gameplay looks awesome! why are people complaining?" Sure, and yet they don't want the game, so you're right to ask that question. "So what if you don't play as kratos, it's a spinoff game" A spinoff game that nobody expected nor desired, and of a character that's short in a few brief dialogues in the 2018 game, and shown in a few scenes in the next game after that just talking with kratos. People expect a spinoff game of something if they wanted it, so they see Laufey and went "who?" "oh.. kratos' wife.. wtf why? why can't i play as kratos?" "Laufey was mention in the previosu games as sometime that equalled kratos! she's badass!" And yet players have never experienced or seen that in those previous games. For example, The Last of Us, the whole game you were playing as Joel alongside Ellie, and in parts you play as Ellie. In the sequel, people were expecting to play as Joel or Ellie, heck many would've been happy to play as Ellie even, but the bad about that game is that you play as a character you hated, and they developed the character of Ellie in a way that leaves a bad taste in your mouth, and just the story execution was horrible, but people weren't pissed that they might've played as Ellie instead because it was heavily built up and experienced in the previous game. The same holds true for the next Witcher game, where you play as Ciri, people want to play as Ciri even, because of the whole point of the main story in W3 revolved around her, and then you journeyed with her later, and then even played as her. The issue people have with the new witcher game is that for one it's not a spinnof and two they're taking a nonsenseical approach turning her into a 'witcher' and fans are on edge to see if the devs will have executed and the story/game well or not and see if they had ruined things or not. Had the developers made another normal god of war game but with similar build up like in the witcher 3 and the last of us, at least just one game where that strategy is applied, and have done it well, people might have even wanted to play as Laufey in a full game just for her. The developers just went "SURPRISE!" with a character out of left-field and expect fans to just immediately love it. That ain't happenin. And this communicates to fans that the devs don't give a shit about what the fans want, so for the fans that have some dignity as a fan, they'd sit and wait, to not buy it on launch and just see how things play out for it. Who knows, it might be great, but first impressions show that it might not be the case. Anyways, looking forward to Stellar Blade: Bloodrain =3 #gaming npub18n4ysp43ux5c98fs6h9c57qpr4p8r3j8f6e32v0vj8egzy878aqqyzzk9r Freakoverse Will break the forum post, the open type (word type w/), because i'll be changing the tag for it from t to w (oversight on my end considering i'll be adding user tags and category). With that said, because of tags (helps organize things), but more specifically because of the category tag (having it as c) for both forum types, this reddit style can now also become traditional forum style as well. In den chat it'll just be used as a filtering mechanism, though in DEG Mods and DEGA, it'll be useful for segregation of post types. But yea, if someone wants to create a traditional forum type client / or for their website or something, the category c tag would help organize things a lot to achieve that goal, imo. npub18n4ysp43ux5c98fs6h9c57qpr4p8r3j8f6e32v0vj8egzy878aqqyzzk9r Freakoverse And here's me planning to bring back physical on PC sometime between now and 15 years later through DEGA xD npub18n4ysp43ux5c98fs6h9c57qpr4p8r3j8f6e32v0vj8egzy878aqqyzzk9r Freakoverse Oh, i think I understand now what you want to see how I do things on my end. Aside from the kind number I shared for mods, regarding regarding matching/finding its game, for the mod event I've made, it's: ["g", "Cyberpunk 2077"],
["title", "Emerald Nights Reshade - Neon Noir Preset v2.1"] That's in the game mod event I have, and i'll probably keep these two tags in the game store project when i continue making it as well (i don't remember if i already constructed its event, but either way I think this makes sense and it would result in cross compatibility as well). With that said, I do seperate the kind for mods and the kind for games if I remember right. npub18n4ysp43ux5c98fs6h9c57qpr4p8r3j8f6e32v0vj8egzy878aqqyzzk9r Freakoverse The mod rebuild is still being constructed / not done yet, so I can't provide you the full event example, but the event kind for the new mod spec is: 31142 (d tag for it is a random UUIDv4) npub18n4ysp43ux5c98fs6h9c57qpr4p8r3j8f6e32v0vj8egzy878aqqyzzk9r Freakoverse I think I read your post (had to put it through a different client then translate, my fork of jumble didn't find it for some reason, but got to read it regardless so all's good), and nice! Looking forward to see how it'll look/feel, been building a game store as well, and we'll look at each others projects to see how we can improve things in each project and grow =3 npub18n4ysp43ux5c98fs6h9c57qpr4p8r3j8f6e32v0vj8egzy878aqqyzzk9r Freakoverse Speaking of Blue Lock... Powerina special guest in Blue Lock? (my ai failed to do the powerina character right so this is a completely different person x3) https://image.nostr.build/2fbaeba1679d3a6d25256932bed6745d06fc8ef911754f5fb973735be7b1da2b.jpg npub18n4ysp43ux5c98fs6h9c57qpr4p8r3j8f6e32v0vj8egzy878aqqyzzk9r Freakoverse I don't usually watch, foodball (well, almost never), but if it's the opposit sex, ya sure, that or if it's a cool anime like Blue Lock x3 npub18n4ysp43ux5c98fs6h9c57qpr4p8r3j8f6e32v0vj8egzy878aqqyzzk9r Freakoverse I think I worded things wrong there, so just in case: not rebranding den chat, that'll remain. There'll be a development/developer name/brand, instead of 'freakoverse' where under it will be denchat, degmods, dega, dnn, demin, and so on. That name is Freeden. It's in the about page in settings in den chat (where you'll also see its logo) npub18n4ysp43ux5c98fs6h9c57qpr4p8r3j8f6e32v0vj8egzy878aqqyzzk9r Freakoverse And need to switch to a different repo under the new brand name. Gah-x2! npub18n4ysp43ux5c98fs6h9c57qpr4p8r3j8f6e32v0vj8egzy878aqqyzzk9r Freakoverse Speeding up as fast as I can, the dev of den chat, since there seems to be another boiling point for discord that'll pop soon. Aside from dev, I still need to write guides, recorded videos, and update the landing site. Gah! npub18n4ysp43ux5c98fs6h9c57qpr4p8r3j8f6e32v0vj8egzy878aqqyzzk9r Freakoverse Here's the "why the fuck not" new thing in DEN Chat xD https://video.nostr.build/7884e0d068fd0fdc90fdd1a4477c121dd723824f7e422f40536eed87a1fd12ef.mp4 Alright back to fixing bugs, improving things, and adding 'normal' features x3 npub18n4ysp43ux5c98fs6h9c57qpr4p8r3j8f6e32v0vj8egzy878aqqyzzk9r Freakoverse Fixed a bunch of bugs, decided to try something for fun and oh shit xD Look forward to when I post something new about DEN Chat =3 npub18n4ysp43ux5c98fs6h9c57qpr4p8r3j8f6e32v0vj8egzy878aqqyzzk9r Freakoverse I like what I made, a desktop signer called DENOS, though I haven't looked into / implemented that new version 3 for nip44 decrypt (dunno when i'd look into it) https://image.nostr.build/e0c1887a177425b2e5f6de37f2c36aa5200b1a6c4ad60116dd87a5dba4022231.jpg https://image.nostr.build/36fa533d3bb76bf708f5c4a785da0a9e3e534da71d2682d120318e1506dee454.jpg https://image.nostr.build/b12ec026b8b9802565fd3d69b4c7f5cb64a2267bb31bbe6792d241dfb2d0658c.jpg https://image.nostr.build/74695c73a74edbe9f3a26a11ef0ab919831187b6e25ed4d03c9f1181cab2637b.jpg npub18n4ysp43ux5c98fs6h9c57qpr4p8r3j8f6e32v0vj8egzy878aqqyzzk9r Freakoverse Something like this should be a thing on all clients https://image.nostr.build/7c76a364ea7508712be74d86e29d131eda988e0834b2399e7cba3e6a156ad885.jpg npub18n4ysp43ux5c98fs6h9c57qpr4p8r3j8f6e32v0vj8egzy878aqqyzzk9r Freakoverse Possible, I'd want to implement this forum system on DEG Mods for forums there, which will bring an extra upgrade there of categorization (as in old style forums, not reddit style. Same event types, just with an extra tag or two for organizing things. To be played around with / maybe it'll just be the same system). npub18n4ysp43ux5c98fs6h9c57qpr4p8r3j8f6e32v0vj8egzy878aqqyzzk9r Freakoverse Good progress today with DEN Chat regarding mobile usage, specifically about importing your (pin protected) seed/nsec into the PWA. I was thiiiis close to use passkeys, but thankfully didn't. I just seperated the storage keys/seeds from the main domain's storage on the phone to a different one (main is web.den, the secondary one is vault.den) meaning if there's a supply chain attack on main then secondary won't be affected. Basically this is close to the security of nostr browser extensions from what I gathered. still not done, since did some decent refactoring with the login flow so still testing it, but assuming all goes well, mobile users will have a nice time. npub18n4ysp43ux5c98fs6h9c57qpr4p8r3j8f6e32v0vj8egzy878aqqyzzk9r Freakoverse hell no, thankfully they updated the nip to not use kind 1 anymore for this reddit style forum posting, that's why i didn't stick posting on forums when it was introduced, as that annoyed the hell out of me. It's using kind 34550 for the community, and kind 1111 (comment type that acts both as a post and a comment, comments use the same kind but structured differently to avoid having them appear as posts). You can read up on it if you want here: https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/72.md And for the open community type, the "community" isn't a kind but rather just a word (like "gaming") and posts within it are the same kind 1111 but pointing at the word (t tag if i remember) rather than an address with kind 34550. This is basically a custom new approach that no client has done yet (at least as far as i'm aware. I wanted this because i didn't want to hop between two different "gaming" forums, but rather just go to THE "gaming" forum, but i also have the option to go to "gaming"-"by smeef" if i want. npub18n4ysp43ux5c98fs6h9c57qpr4p8r3j8f6e32v0vj8egzy878aqqyzzk9r Freakoverse oh btw added forum posting in den chat, reddit style, and two types of communities: open, moderated moderated is basically NIP-72 (and not sure why it's marked as unrecommended and recommends NIP-29, two completely different use-cases). open is basically making posts under a word rather than a created space/address. There's no moderation here aside from your own. there can be multiple c/gaming (and in reality it'd be c/longAssAddress), but there can only be one w/gaming and nobody controls it. If you're on web version, test it out. Not sure I'm happy with the design. Build release will come out later. npub18n4ysp43ux5c98fs6h9c57qpr4p8r3j8f6e32v0vj8egzy878aqqyzzk9r Freakoverse Mainly there for two reasons: - Help bring back logic - Help me and avoid headaches in a comical way "have your read the terms of use?" xD npub18n4ysp43ux5c98fs6h9c57qpr4p8r3j8f6e32v0vj8egzy878aqqyzzk9r Freakoverse Considering logic is a rare things these days, i felt inclined to add these terms in the terms of use in den chat https://image.nostr.build/3d67e5c13cb43061bb0d6202e69dc4fe0fe01599db2380554d2a37443a01fc42.jpg https://image.nostr.build/16b11c4808be5f4ecf2f8d6c64b650fb0290a8f10963da0337bd190c35b2948b.jpg https://image.nostr.build/4074b799683dc7ef947c555cf40281f6fa6a4c95c69f97ae489176b255257c69.jpg npub18n4ysp43ux5c98fs6h9c57qpr4p8r3j8f6e32v0vj8egzy878aqqyzzk9r Freakoverse attatching files/images in the social page in den chat is busted, so don't use it at the moment. npub18n4ysp43ux5c98fs6h9c57qpr4p8r3j8f6e32v0vj8egzy878aqqyzzk9r Freakoverse hm? what brought this on? is there an issue with the current way? or just a sort of logical thinking? npub18n4ysp43ux5c98fs6h9c57qpr4p8r3j8f6e32v0vj8egzy878aqqyzzk9r Freakoverse Let's goooo! xD npub18n4ysp43ux5c98fs6h9c57qpr4p8r3j8f6e32v0vj8egzy878aqqyzzk9r Freakoverse Me: Ok, time to take a small break Also me: Alright time to rebuild deg mods as I continue deving den chat and slap a new feature in denos me talking to me: Rest motherfucker xD npub18n4ysp43ux5c98fs6h9c57qpr4p8r3j8f6e32v0vj8egzy878aqqyzzk9r Freakoverse Hm... maybe i should add a zoom function xD npub18n4ysp43ux5c98fs6h9c57qpr4p8r3j8f6e32v0vj8egzy878aqqyzzk9r Freakoverse DEN Chat v0.2.2 build is up. Patch notes: https://image.nostr.build/5b9739ebe94326083344d917b62e335a4794eb5986e234b1bec1c51330ea56cf.png npub18n4ysp43ux5c98fs6h9c57qpr4p8r3j8f6e32v0vj8egzy878aqqyzzk9r Freakoverse An update to DEN Chat, which is now up on web and soon for desktop builds in the next release http://denchat.top/ npub18n4ysp43ux5c98fs6h9c57qpr4p8r3j8f6e32v0vj8egzy878aqqyzzk9r Freakoverse =3 https://blossom.primal.net/3e8b15e74e145b4c70e391146d790f86eaba69eb030453d6d4b2c19ace187835.png npub18n4ysp43ux5c98fs6h9c57qpr4p8r3j8f6e32v0vj8egzy878aqqyzzk9r Freakoverse Yes, eventually something like this will happen, a marketplace of service/hosting providers and a way to pay for it (bitcoin, crypto, or fiat), and after payment they'd receive setup details (all handeled automatically in the background, but viewable). Btw, just in case i'll mention it, voice chat system is already functional in den chat, with two options: centralized with cloudflare (make an account, input a credit card to prove your real, and you get SFU and TURN credentials to use for voice chat with a bandwidth of 10 GB per month fore free), and self-host option with LiveKit (if you have a server you can host a LiveKit on it, grab the required details, and host run it. Voice and video/stream is also encrypted (unless i screwed up but don't think so) so host doesn't hear or see anything. LiveKit option works on web at the moment and soon on the latest build release (soon btw) npub18n4ysp43ux5c98fs6h9c57qpr4p8r3j8f6e32v0vj8egzy878aqqyzzk9r Freakoverse ah... my guess is then they don't want proper translation but rather want "localization" like the shit we see in anime =P Though yes it would be good to proof-read, or at least get people to review if not himself, as it probably needs those small context fixes. Thanks for the recommendation =3 I think "soon" I'll begin rebuilding deg, and with it / after that is done then the work for "deg mods network" would begin, meaning we'll see a lot of "deg mods" across many sites 🤘 npub18n4ysp43ux5c98fs6h9c57qpr4p8r3j8f6e32v0vj8egzy878aqqyzzk9r Freakoverse If you're wondering "so what's up with den?" Still fixing bugs, improving things. One main bug I'm hunting is related to file attachments in DM (private) not doing it right (narrowed it down to a hash issue). Aside from that, improvements related to adding years to dates here and there, moving some UI elements, etc. right now I've added more events to be rebroadcasted on login if it fails below 3 relays, to reduce the chance of events from being deleted, and more importantly also added the same system for the members lists for a hub (blossom / hash files), since it would pretty such if you open your hub and suddenly your members list got wiped. LiveKit now works for voice (before it was just cloudflare, but got around to self-host a livekit server and test things out) A shitton more to share in the patch notes, and I'm hoping a new release sometime this week (hopefully tomorrow?), unless my friend gives me more things to do x3 (I mean they did, but even more x3) npub18n4ysp43ux5c98fs6h9c57qpr4p8r3j8f6e32v0vj8egzy878aqqyzzk9r Freakoverse 1. will look into it 2. i think that's already in, click that blue emoji thing and a popup will appear 3. i think that's newly added, so you'll be able to do that in the next build release =3 npub18n4ysp43ux5c98fs6h9c57qpr4p8r3j8f6e32v0vj8egzy878aqqyzzk9r Freakoverse Me: "Ok so just a few fixes here and a new feature there and i'll release a new build" Friend: "hold my beer" This was 3-4 days ago, said friend sending bug reports, critique/feedback, feature requests, etc. Lucky to have em =3 npub18n4ysp43ux5c98fs6h9c57qpr4p8r3j8f6e32v0vj8egzy878aqqyzzk9r Freakoverse Yes, pick the chars you want then swap while in combat and do combo attacks and so on. npub18n4ysp43ux5c98fs6h9c57qpr4p8r3j8f6e32v0vj8egzy878aqqyzzk9r Freakoverse Played the test for LIMIT ZERO BREAKERS I like it =3 https://image.nostr.build/169eb83c9cc335591e4da0243714c9a98db70bae6094f967b58d7f03884bdd97.jpg Link: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3764400/LIMIT_ZERO_BREAKERS/ #gaming npub18n4ysp43ux5c98fs6h9c57qpr4p8r3j8f6e32v0vj8egzy878aqqyzzk9r Freakoverse I would've released a den chat update by now, but a friend came along and started testing and giving bug reports feedback, no filter, so been fixing and improving a lot. If you've been using web, all the updates are going to it, so you'd be seeing improvements. The desktop build is yet to be built (still fixing and improving), but I guess 0.2.2 build release will go out during the weekend. Won't add anything new, but a lot of changes, fixes, and improvements (patch notes will be long x3) npub18n4ysp43ux5c98fs6h9c57qpr4p8r3j8f6e32v0vj8egzy878aqqyzzk9r Freakoverse Now this is a racing game I'd get! x3 https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/projectgt/project-gt-anime-racing-meets-arpg-command-your-car-girl/description #gaming npub18n4ysp43ux5c98fs6h9c57qpr4p8r3j8f6e32v0vj8egzy878aqqyzzk9r Freakoverse I just realized one benefit of receiving Bitcoin or other shitcoins to your nostr: If you see the funds in it are gone and it wasn't you, you now know your nsec is compromised xD npub18n4ysp43ux5c98fs6h9c57qpr4p8r3j8f6e32v0vj8egzy878aqqyzzk9r Freakoverse My 2 reasons: - eh why not - Part of the business model, where people don't know crypto but they do have paypal which recently introduced their own currency, and other popular payment providers will do the same, so it'll now be easier for them to donate/pay, and that pipeline is better than banks. Also, nostr-based fiat payments will be a thing down the line as well (solving-ish the visa/master problem that Steam and others have). So ya, there's now Bitcoin and shitcoins, and later traditional shitcoins (fiat) x3 npub18n4ysp43ux5c98fs6h9c57qpr4p8r3j8f6e32v0vj8egzy878aqqyzzk9r Freakoverse https://image.nostr.build/c369cb11b3f5e82fa9e63f99d571f3b8b3800ab08f7ac31a873603471321aafc.gif Will keep trying x3 npub18n4ysp43ux5c98fs6h9c57qpr4p8r3j8f6e32v0vj8egzy878aqqyzzk9r Freakoverse DEN Chat v0.2.1 update is up. https://denchat.top Patch notes: https://image.nostr.build/8fedd31d37e1f02ace41e461324f17d36ea5653f6d27e992af6c82cca4a5ab17.jpg npub18n4ysp43ux5c98fs6h9c57qpr4p8r3j8f6e32v0vj8egzy878aqqyzzk9r Freakoverse The multi request stuff from den chat to denos should be fixed, and by fixed i mean you would before get den chat spam-sending you hundreds of requests immediately, now it sends a couple/few chunks at a time for you to manually approve or give you breathing room to click that auto-approve if you desire. Facing issues by any chance? (just a heads up, if you face this issue with other clients/sites/apps when connecting using denos, that's a client issue (like what i had fixed) and not the signer) npub18n4ysp43ux5c98fs6h9c57qpr4p8r3j8f6e32v0vj8egzy878aqqyzzk9r Freakoverse It would work with all signers, but the issue you're experiencing might be because of a cache issue with den chat, will look into it. npub18n4ysp43ux5c98fs6h9c57qpr4p8r3j8f6e32v0vj8egzy878aqqyzzk9r Freakoverse Whoops, overflow issue. Fixed, do a hard-refresh. npub18n4ysp43ux5c98fs6h9c57qpr4p8r3j8f6e32v0vj8egzy878aqqyzzk9r Freakoverse Aye DENOS is PC desktop signer, no mobile version (mobile dev sucks x3 but might do something in the future for it). npub18n4ysp43ux5c98fs6h9c57qpr4p8r3j8f6e32v0vj8egzy878aqqyzzk9r Freakoverse DEN Chat v0.2.0 update is up. https://denchat.top/ Patch notes: https://image.nostr.build/5c6f937d4f9372b3a8543c901a4fa54fe079aa7f3fa8a465ab7da7a6db8dd59c.jpg I think you might get false-errors, hit me up if yes, with details about what signer you're using, but hub messages and DMs should still work. npub18n4ysp43ux5c98fs6h9c57qpr4p8r3j8f6e32v0vj8egzy878aqqyzzk9r Freakoverse This looks awesome =3 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhdh_LspRHk #gaming #StellarBlade npub18n4ysp43ux5c98fs6h9c57qpr4p8r3j8f6e32v0vj8egzy878aqqyzzk9r Freakoverse Played the demo.

Update going out soon fixing it/them, and will add a fallback / last-line-of-defense measure in case if something goes wrong again (and i think it's neat / other apps should do this as well): screenshot https://image.nostr.build/52b72a49dba30949a658eea7ab21b12d8b77d69b337fbc0ece5c72c14338be55.jpg npub18n4ysp43ux5c98fs6h9c57qpr4p8r3j8f6e32v0vj8egzy878aqqyzzk9r Freakoverse State of Play: - ILL: Nice, and didn't realize Atomic Heart devs took the devs of it under its wing. - Ace Combat 8: Nice. I need to play the previous one, don't think i have played any from the series and it seems super cool =3 - Onimusha: Nice. I want to play this not because of the gameplay nessarily, but because I think the main character will be entertaining. - No Rest for the Wicked: Already bought it a while ago, btu haven't played it yet / waiting til 1.0 release, and seems like that'll happen in a few months - Phantom Blade 0: Gameplay will be nice from the looks of it, not sure about the characters/story, but we'll see. - Rayman Legends Retold: I like, it's been a while. Last one I played was Origins. - Marvel Tokon: Made by Asians so it should be good / does look good. - Control Resonant: I like the first Control, but not sure about this one... - Kemuri: Looks nice, but... idk, the trailer at least made me feel like I shouldn't care about their characters or world. We'll see. - Raji: Kaliyuga: Maybe, i played the first one and it was ok. - Marvel's Wolverine: lol nah x3 - God of War: Laufey: BIG LOL NAH, they fucked up xD There are a few more games shared but eh. npub18n4ysp43ux5c98fs6h9c57qpr4p8r3j8f6e32v0vj8egzy878aqqyzzk9r Freakoverse While I like what I built, NSP (Nostr Silent Payment), and it does technically work, and it's beutiful to resist agains shitcoin freezing (usdt/pyusd/usdc/etc), because this is money we are talking about, and events/relays are not reliable to that extent of confidence where you don't have to worry about the money, I'll probably replace that flow with a normal static derived address from the npub, not random address, from the donation flow in DEN Chat, and for DENOS i'll update it where it'll be off by default but you can turn it on if you want (and i'll try to make it annoying since to decrease the chance of users accidentally enabling/using it). With that said, if anyone was planning to donate through that, hold the up for a bit x3#nevent1q…ns56 What I'm hoping for in the future that someone will do (or maybe myself, but i think this would be too much for me) is someone does Silent Payment for shitcoins as well like Bitcoin, and if that happens then there would be a saftey net for my NSP and I'd actually start using it. npub18n4ysp43ux5c98fs6h9c57qpr4p8r3j8f6e32v0vj8egzy878aqqyzzk9r Freakoverse Still haven't got arround to get familiar with gitworkshop yet, and so i'm using github or gitea, but for this i'm using github and on this account temporarily until i get things organized elsewhere, but ya here's the link if you want to check things out: https://github.com/Freakoverse/den-chat (side note: if you read stuff about 'filter relay' i might not do it, still thinking about it) npub18n4ysp43ux5c98fs6h9c57qpr4p8r3j8f6e32v0vj8egzy878aqqyzzk9r Freakoverse Didn't look into it, but if it's nostr to nostr, (not a bridge from traditional email to nostr), and seems fine structure wise, then sure, otherwise probably not. npub18n4ysp43ux5c98fs6h9c57qpr4p8r3j8f6e32v0vj8egzy878aqqyzzk9r Freakoverse DEN Chat My attempt at a discord/ts/element/slack alt, built on nostr, event/blossom-based (not relay-based), with group encryption based on LKH, voice/video/stream based on Cloudflare (simple but centralized, free 10gb/month bandwidth) and Livekit (self-host but needs more effort and running cost) and both are encrypted, and there's spatial audio mode (i wanted this for a years). Notes: Is this a good idea with how it's built? Who knows let's see. Scaleable to millions? I tried to make it that way so fingers crossed. Is it actually any good to use? Hopefully. Give it a shot tell me what you think Are there bugs? Probably ya (speaking of, i fixed those in the video x3) Web and Windows version works, Linux .deb and AppImage (on ZorinOS) seems to work, didn't try others.

He's also in a house with a lot of metal, so this will be a good test, considering this is mainly magnetic system with IMU support. npub18n4ysp43ux5c98fs6h9c57qpr4p8r3j8f6e32v0vj8egzy878aqqyzzk9r Freakoverse Aye. Use it for various non-bitcoin stuff as well. Also, one of my marketing pushes would be to present various easy self-host solutions, and this includes Umbrel, for general reasons but also for people to run their own blossom server as well to then expose their box for others to download games, mods, etc from. npub18n4ysp43ux5c98fs6h9c57qpr4p8r3j8f6e32v0vj8egzy878aqqyzzk9r Freakoverse I have started play around with making builds and testing them for the discord alt. So... "soon" =3 npub18n4ysp43ux5c98fs6h9c57qpr4p8r3j8f6e32v0vj8egzy878aqqyzzk9r Freakoverse Same, and also recently added a function where it checks on the important stuff event kinds then does a check per session if it's available on up to 3 relays (hardcoded first, that can be changed by the user, then user relay list if that's not sufficient or broken), and if it's below then rebroadcast to missing relays.
Counter-failing/nuking/whatever flow =3 npub18n4ysp43ux5c98fs6h9c57qpr4p8r3j8f6e32v0vj8egzy878aqqyzzk9r Freakoverse I hope everyone pushes for "published_at" to be a thing and relays start updating themselves to consider it. I don't want to do this +1 for created_at, but i'm forced to, and even then because not all clients will do this it'll still screw things up with the ordering. npub18n4ysp43ux5c98fs6h9c57qpr4p8r3j8f6e32v0vj8egzy878aqqyzzk9r Freakoverse "When you can, send me $1,000" "Why would i send you $1,000?"

This is why products that utilize the B currency symbol as a measurment for decimals/sats (whatever that BIP was) is a flaw. npub18n4ysp43ux5c98fs6h9c57qpr4p8r3j8f6e32v0vj8egzy878aqqyzzk9r Freakoverse That's the only thing stopping me from getting the game. I was following it from inception years ago, but then they showed the characters... "...unfortunate. Oh well. So, what else is on the news?" x3 npub18n4ysp43ux5c98fs6h9c57qpr4p8r3j8f6e32v0vj8egzy878aqqyzzk9r Freakoverse Why would a Bitcoin SP user (normally with hardened derivations, not derived from nostr) voluntarily give their scan private key to a third-party server to scan for convenience? Wouldn't that defeat the whole point of Bitcoin SP as that third-party now has full view of what I'm receiving forever? npub18n4ysp43ux5c98fs6h9c57qpr4p8r3j8f6e32v0vj8egzy878aqqyzzk9r Freakoverse Idea was aiming to have two nostrs living side-by-side each other, and clients would start supporting the other nostr type as well. Regarding sending xmr to you, they'll send directly to your main address (which is already private from what i understood, and sub-addresses are used for context management and more privacy, which would be neat to have but from what I looked into: since subaddresses can't be derived from the public side, you'd have to generate it manually then add it as a payment target (other nostr kind) for yourself, though considering that your main address is your nostr address, people will just be sending to that and there'd be no point in setting up and publishing a subaddress for your monero-nostr identity). To your last point, there is now, it's called target payments i think, and it's for everything (not just crypto), mainly for stuff that can't be derived already from your nostr address. npub18n4ysp43ux5c98fs6h9c57qpr4p8r3j8f6e32v0vj8egzy878aqqyzzk9r Freakoverse And then there's me, sending silent shitcoins x3 Staying on topic: it's very easy to see who will "win" this. Whether I like it or not that's a different matter. But yes, it is entertaining to watch and for me to learn more about the character and thinking process of each high profile (nostr scale) participant. npub18n4ysp43ux5c98fs6h9c57qpr4p8r3j8f6e32v0vj8egzy878aqqyzzk9r Freakoverse My 2 sats: Protocols designed for mass public use, but not built from the ground up with privacy as a default, should not be expected to provide strong practical privacy at scale. Operational privacy measures can definitely help, but systems that rely on users behaving like highly disciplined privacy engineers forever will inevitably trend toward convenience instead. Most people will not maintain strict UTXO hygiene, identity compartmentalization, wallet separation, or careful metadata practices long term, especially when smoother and more convenient alternatives exist. Even if most apps, wallets, and clients encourage privacy-conscious behavior, users will naturally gravitate toward the few tools that reduce friction and “just work.” This creates a ceiling for privacy in transparent systems like Bitcoin: privacy becomes conditional, behavioral, and fragile rather than automatic and protocol-enforced. Unless Bitcoin undergoes deep protocol-level changes to make strong privacy a default property of the system, similar to, or even stronger than, Monero, which seems unlikely in the foreseeable future, it may be wasted energy trying to convince builders their users to adopt consistently less convenient workflows in the name of privacy, especially when their primary goal is broad adoption and financial sovereignty. Though it isn't wasted energy if their target users are privacy perusing individuals on such a transparent protocol. As a result, many of the external risks associated with transparent money, such as surveillance, targeted theft, extortion, kidnappings, or government overreach, cannot realistically be properly solved purely through operational discipline at population scale. The reality of the matter is, they'd be "solved" either by accepting custodial and institutional intermediaries, continue relying on traditional financial systems, pursue stronger protocol-level privacy if it ever arrives, or confront those risks more directly through improved personal security, legal protections, and broader political and social change. I don't like this reality, but it's what we have and what we'll deal with, unless some sort of major change or breakthrough happens at the base layer. npub18n4ysp43ux5c98fs6h9c57qpr4p8r3j8f6e32v0vj8egzy878aqqyzzk9r Freakoverse So one can't derive a Monero address from a nostr address because of different curves. I tried thinking what if there was a nostr that is ed25519, but still a no because monero has its own version of that. But then I thought "what if nostr was monero from the start?" but with domain seperation, having that as the reusable social layer, and then we derive a standard monero address from that? mnPub (public social) > 4/8 (private financial) nostr clients and relays would then need to support this "monero nostr" version along with the current "bitcoin nostr" version, with clean UX flows. didn't dig too deep into monero, so maybe this is a fail of an idea, but thought i'd throw it out there and perhaps it'll spark an idea in someone. #monero #nostr npub18n4ysp43ux5c98fs6h9c57qpr4p8r3j8f6e32v0vj8egzy878aqqyzzk9r Freakoverse Who should I check out here no nostr that's developing stuff around nostr with monero? #asknostr #monero npub18n4ysp43ux5c98fs6h9c57qpr4p8r3j8f6e32v0vj8egzy878aqqyzzk9r Freakoverse Also added a bunch of warnings / quick explinations on risks etc. Update up: https://github.com/Freakoverse/DENOS/releases https://image.nostr.build/e8964b697613d9951d7c3d237342bf8a3bddfe1c1698649827d60c78cf2b8c7d.jpg https://image.nostr.build/f7833c2f94628f04f720007b7615e9ac73e585dc1579f1e646452e061a2e5375.jpg https://image.nostr.build/ff585b6f3a0eb24674bd997967d5c72ac11b53d818d9926a2fb365ebfabe5609.jpg https://image.nostr.build/4123818b475ed869fe5bc39ad41d6d36ab78b645c60b727ad7961c759f3518fb.jpg https://image.nostr.build/a3424af46fb12ba811e69f99fc427440d780da29887e4d6f1e7809dffd184ebb.jpg
