The problem on twitter where you're trying to interact with (or just read) a post, and it scrolls away and disappears, is 10,000x worse on nostr (at least iris, not to throw them under the bus). I know it's still early but damn...

I have a *very* cheap egg incubator, and I can't run it in the brick fireplace anymore because the baby is now a toddler and will get into it.
I can put it in the garage but it feels like a giant fire hazard, (my garage is packed with crap) so I'd like to put it in some kind of fire resistant box for the unlikely case where it might catch fire.
Does anyone have any ideas for what sort of off-the-shelf enclosure might work? I've found "Electrical Enclosure"s seem like they fit the bill, but most of them are 3+ times more expensive than the incubator itself, I'd rather go a bit cheaper, but not-burning-the-house-down is obviously a higher priority.

You probably need a udev rule for the coldcard to give your user access. Looks like they've got a stock rule: https://github.com/Coldcard/ckcc-protocol/blob/master/51-coinkite.rules
I'm somewhat surprised there's only one rule, since they've now released 4 versions of the coldcard, I would have expected them all to have different USB IDs 🤷🏻‍♂️
Note also that your ubuntu user will need to belong to the `plugdev` group, linux group membership changes require a full log out and log in, and reloading udev rules live is kind of annoying, so I recommend just rebooting 😉

> I love the way you can use various Nostr apps without having to sign up for each one.
That is definitely another major weakness of the fediverse, even though the ActivityPub protocol is capable of doing arbitrary things, it needs to be supported by the server you sign up with, and the most popular servers (mastodon, pleroma, and misskey) all only support social media type protocols.
Technically pleroma is flexible enough for arbitrary other use cases but no clients have been written to take advantage of it, to my knowledge.

UX is vastly superior, media handling isn't an afterthought, pubkeys are annoying as user handles (Even now I get two results for @ nvk when I'm typing a message, and I just hope it's the one with more followers, iris doesn't even indicate which one I'm already following)
There's definitely a much wider diversity of topics, like you mentioned, the blue tribe has a big presence on the fediverse too, there's also commies and honest to goodness nazis (whatever you feel about that, I think it makes a good case for the fediverse's anti-censorship properties). There's a *lot* of non-bitcoin technical discussions, retro technology, anime, general nerd culture.
I haven't put much thought into that landing page, here's a way to see a feed of (almost) all of the traffic thebag.social is aware of on the fediverse though: https://thebag.social/timeline/fediverse Note that the way the fediverse propagates messages, thebag.social has a pretty limited view into the fediverse as a whole. Discovering and following people on other servers automatically widens that view, though.
As for the email requirement, I actually never set up email so you can enter any bogus email if that's putting you off ;-) I probably should figure out a way to remove that from the signup form.

If unique, decentralized, human meaningful names are impossible to provide otherwise (to our knowledge), and such a thing is desirable (I hold that to be self evident) then "why not?" indeed.
If you're afraid of being called a shitcoiner, Namecoin was the first alt, came out of a satoshi-endorsed proposal, and never positioned itself as an investment, although I don't know if the project is dead or not, it's been on life support for a while.

Mastodon is part of the decentralized fediverse, there's a lot more than just mastodon.online there's mastodon.social, and ~10k other servers. I run thebag.social for libertarian/voluntaryist types. Users on thebag.social can (but almost never do) interact with users on mastodon.social but we interact a fair bit with the rest of the network.
@npub1az9…m8y8 used to run bitcoinhackers.org too @npub1vwy…zugd used to live over there.
fiatjaf compared the fediverse unfavorably to nostr when he created nostr. https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nostr#the-problem-with-mastodon-and-similar-programs
nostr certainly has advantages over the fediverse (you own your keys and therefore your identity on nostr, on the fediverse you have a user handle that is tied to a particular server, and essentially owned by the server operator, like email) but I still prefer the fediverse so far (it probably doesn't hurt that I own my server and therefore concerns about identity ownership are pretty much moot).

2023-04-18 05:31:01

Has there been any thought given to subordinate keys? A subordinate key could provide a signed proof that it can post a particular set of event kinds, and clients should consider it as originating from a different key. This way applications could be granted "permissions" without giving them your private key.
It probably doesn't even matter in most cases, and the subordinate key unaware client would just see an independent identity.
This also opens the possibility to have an offline master key.

I personally don't see a problem with supporting deletes, it just comes with very confusing yet important to understand caveats for users.
The real problem is user expectations. A copy of your note has been distributed to thousands of different servers, desktops, and phones, complete with a signature proving its authenticity. The only thing you can do is politely ask those other parties to please delete their copies.
On the fediverse there is a Delete activity, and 99% of servers respect it, but several do not. You can never know for sure if a server retained a copy, and unlike a fediverse post, or a twitter screenshot, a nostr note contains a signature proving its authenticity.

I'm surprised nobody (that I've seen) has discussed timelocked coins for identity establishment. It's cheap for honest actors and expensive for spammers (since as soon as their identity is identified as spam it's toast and they'd need to lock up more coins to create a new one)

It's a far more battle tested one, and has at least one if not two orders of magnitude better adoption. Nostr absolutely has advantages over it, but I'm not at all convinced it's the right tech. More importantly, technical superiority has essentially zero to do with success in this space.
There are far, far technically better systems than nostr that have failed to take off for years if not decades. Adoption and network effects are all that matter, and if it wasn't for the bitcoin community adoption nostr would already be DoA.

Am I crazy or is a fedimint a really effective way to mix coins? All deposits into the mint after you are effectively mixed with yours at no extra cost, you'll probably get a completely unrelated utxo on cashout, and you can nearly-completely blind amounts by withdrawing unrelated amounts.
Obviously the compromise is in trust, like with custodial mixers (but considerably better)

Managing collisions in numeric ids is going to suck though if people start really developing new use cases. At least with named event types you have to be working on something similar to collide. It's at least debatable.
