So if Apple wants 30% of a zap, they know they’ll need a way to receive bitcoin right?
Did Apple just declare they are going to be receiving #bitcoin?

The ability to access #nostr without a username and password combination is one of the most underrated features of the design.
Generate a public/private key pair and use it on any Nostr client. No need to be tied to any one client/app.

Right now, #nostr feels most similar to Twitter, but there’s the potential to be the backbone of all social media.
It’d be awesome at some point to tell family they don’t need FB anymore because there’s a better option with encrypted privacy for family groups already built in.
I know we’ve got DMs but trying to think bigger than that with group management etc.

2023-06-01 20:36:12

What if nostr had private groups?
Similar to private profiles or FB groups that could be private (or public if desired).
Could be done with a private relay, but for the masses, it would be awesome to be able to ditch FB because there’s the option to share just with encrypted groups, family circles etc. on Nostr.

Yes it’s interesting how the game theory will play out. Will we gravitate to clients that filter out the spam the best, or use free, but by-invitation-only relays, or just not care about it that much and keep nostr wild (at perhaps the expense of greater adoption).

In a recent interview, #[0] mentioned nostr as great, but that it doesn’t solve the bot problem (think unlimited impersonation bots spamming the network).
He’s talked about it before, but an orange check that involves proof of work.
Paid relays are a step in that direction, but will we end up centralizing around just a few paid relays?
I’m not suggestion an orange check, just wondering what others thoughts are as the protocol grows and gains more traction.

If I remember right, umbrel had the same issue, but as long as you used the recommended hardware and the official power cable, it works fine. I followed the Start9 diy guide, and it works great. Using that now in place of the umbrel. Will maybe upgrade to the more powerful hardware in the future.

I did the DIY version with a raspberry pi and external hard drive. Gives a pretty good comparison to the Umbrel since it’s the same set up. The cost for the DIY wasn’t too bad just the PI, the hard drive and the SD card. #[2] is really solid. Been very happy with it.

When one crisis comes, we invent tools that fix it. When that tool creates the next crisis, human ingenuity finds a way to mitigate or eliminate it, but too often, we catastrophize the problems of today extrapolating them into the future without realizing, that with a little thought and effort, we'll find a way.
#bitcoin mining won't destroy the planet, in fact, it may just be the thing that saves it as it drives innovation.
Yes the present can be murky, but the road is long and innovation driven by need often comes faster than we think.

2023-04-21 20:01:50

The power of an idea. Nostr brings to bear the power of the Internet’s original intent: Decentralized communication pathways resilient against mass catastrophe.
Centralized communication gateways are convenient, but also nearly stifle the original intent.
-one company for the majority of all emails sent
-one company providing access to the “town square”
-one company controlling nearly all user video content, etc.
The centralization risks are huge.
-Service goes down, no more email, messages, or user videos.
-Single point for government control (shut off access, censoring, manipulative pressure, etc.)
-immense power given into the hands of just a few, that even with good intent can be horribly abused
Decentralization, on the other hand, is what the founders of the U.S. were after (not perfect, but one of the best shots ever): take the power from a central authority and decentralize it. Limit it. Check it.
Push the power as far down as possible into the hands of the people.
As power centralizes in corporations and governments, remember that #nostr and #bitcoin are the answer—the solution to the problem of too much power taken by too few.
These tools are literally power to the people. “We hold these truths to be self-evident…”
The solution does not require coercion, violence, or force, it’s an exit into a new world resilient to any catastrophe, challenge, or difficulty, and most importantly, abuse of power.
That’s why we’re here.
And also funny memes. There’s that too.

And in just one sentence (+ an emoji) we learn just why nostr is better than all the other centrally-controlled social media platforms.
Hint: nostr is a protocol not a platform
Hint: like bitcoin, it is permission-less, no central authority can deny you access to use it
On Nostr, you verify yourself. No need to pay for a check from an authority that may or may not grant them. With your own domain, you can have your own check. It’s way better than the blue checks on twitter. You can get “verified” by other services if you wish, should you choose.

The root problem with conventional currency is all the trust that’s required to make it work. The central bank must be trusted not to debase the currency, but the history of fiat currencies is full of breaches of that trust. Banks must be trusted to hold our money and transfer it electronically, but they lend it out in waves of credit bubbles with barely a fraction in reserve.

"The number associated with your cousin has to do with how many generations away your common ancestor is. For example:
First cousins share a grandparent (2 generations)
Second cousins share a great-grandparent (3 generations)
Third cousins share a great-great-grandparent(4 generations)
Fourth cousins share a 3rd-great grandparent (5 generations)"
The link also explains the once removed thing. Which is basically the difference if the generations back to the common ancestor are different. Bob's relationship to a child of Alice would be 2nd cousins once removed since Alice's child is one more generation away (3 hops) from the common ancestor than Bob (only 2 hops).

Second cousins.
There are two generations between Bob and the common ancestor shared with Alice. Alice also has two hops or generations between her and the common ancestor, so they are second cousins.

Users can be drawn to nostr in two ways:
1. A Strong Pull: Features/Benefits not available on other platforms
2. A Strong Push: Old systems mess up enough people are "pushed" off and look for an alternative
As a protocol, Nostr has the potential to rocket past all the social media platforms.
Can't be censored = Awesome
Encrypted DMs = Fantastic
Buy from merchants directly using magic internet money and without having a third party like Amazon control everything? = Category Busting
Nostr right now feels like the very, very early days of Internet when only "email" as it would come to be called existed. Then Hyper Text Transfer Protocol shifted everything breaking the paradigm that the "Internet" was for replicating the mail system.
Nostr has the potential to take the categories and well-defined boxes we've placed around the Internet and bend, break, and craft them into something new and better.

I like that #[7] blurs images from those I don’t follow. It’s a little inconvenient, but then again I get to choose if I want to see graphic content and not have it tossed in my face.
As the protocol and clients are still new, it’d be great to address the explicit/graphic content issue early on.
Maybe much like the podcasts and music in Apple get marked “E” for explicit. There could be a note tag for explicit that users mark at the note and even account level. Then clients could have the option to filter.
Filter, not censor. Not everyone would use the tag, but the companies that deal in that sort of content might, or may be required by law, and that would help.
