Last Notes npub1gymmqyfef474vhgfr4qnz8ckm64g0yz320f0qk3zusnjrgpe5h8qvv7zgr teldon I really should participate more on #nostr and social media in general. But I'm too comfortable just being a #lurker. npub1gymmqyfef474vhgfr4qnz8ckm64g0yz320f0qk3zusnjrgpe5h8qvv7zgr teldon Gossip's filter script to the rescue! npub1gymmqyfef474vhgfr4qnz8ckm64g0yz320f0qk3zusnjrgpe5h8qvv7zgr teldon If everyone who isn't in lock-step agreement about a band is delusional, I'd assume everyone who doesn't agree with your political takes is a nazi. #discord #babymetal npub1gymmqyfef474vhgfr4qnz8ckm64g0yz320f0qk3zusnjrgpe5h8qvv7zgr teldon I've had sub-10 followers on Twitter for over a decade, so it's always weird when I get a new one. npub1gymmqyfef474vhgfr4qnz8ckm64g0yz320f0qk3zusnjrgpe5h8qvv7zgr teldon I've got an idea if anyone wants to steal it. A NIP07 extension that allow you connect a NIP46 signer and funnel all NIP07 requests to the remote signer. Because it seems like a lot of websites don't allow logging in with a remote signer. #nostr #nostrdev npub1gymmqyfef474vhgfr4qnz8ckm64g0yz320f0qk3zusnjrgpe5h8qvv7zgr teldon I know I've railed against nip05 being just a Human Readable Identifier, but I've come to a bit of uneventful realization. nip05 IS just HRI. ActivityPub does it this way, Bluesky does it, and I'm sure many other social media ecosystems do it this way. I was just too damn stubborn to realize it. I'm now rectifying that, and have added a nip05 address. #nostr #alwayslearning npub1gymmqyfef474vhgfr4qnz8ckm64g0yz320f0qk3zusnjrgpe5h8qvv7zgr teldon I now have a better understanding of @npub189j…3tg8 filter. And with @npub1acg…p35c adding nip05 to the spam filter, I'll finally be able to filter out bridges from searches. If I had sats, I'd donate them. But I don't, so all I can give is my unending thanks. npub1gymmqyfef474vhgfr4qnz8ckm64g0yz320f0qk3zusnjrgpe5h8qvv7zgr teldon I hate to admit defeat, but it does seem like on-chain bitcoin is the bank, and lightning is cash-on-hand. You win some you lose some. Have set up a primal wallet as a stop-gap until I can figure out how to get the ~3000 sats from an old castodial alby wallet when I don't have the money to open up a channel on alby hub. #nostr #bitcoin #lightning npub1gymmqyfef474vhgfr4qnz8ckm64g0yz320f0qk3zusnjrgpe5h8qvv7zgr teldon I know I'm coming to this very late, but the most bridge and ilk have completely ruined searches for me. I try to look up a keyword or a hashtag and 99% of the results I see are from those bridges. That's because most of the big aggregator relays that clients use for searching aggregate most, if not all, of those bridge relays. npub1gymmqyfef474vhgfr4qnz8ckm64g0yz320f0qk3zusnjrgpe5h8qvv7zgr teldon Had my first instance of find nostr in the wild. Well, as "in the wild" as Metatron mentioning @npub17jl…825x on twitter can be. Didn't even know it was nostr-based until I went to the site and saw an npub address. npub1gymmqyfef474vhgfr4qnz8ckm64g0yz320f0qk3zusnjrgpe5h8qvv7zgr teldon Unfortunately, the primary belief is that nip-05 is to be used as just a human-readable identifier. It's always been my belief that nip-05 was used verify you based on the fact it's either a domain you own, are the primary controller of, or directly represent in a offical capaicty a person of the other two catagories. It's why I don't have a nip-05 address myself. I don't have access to a domain that fits those catagories. npub1gymmqyfef474vhgfr4qnz8ckm64g0yz320f0qk3zusnjrgpe5h8qvv7zgr teldon testing don't mind me npub1gymmqyfef474vhgfr4qnz8ckm64g0yz320f0qk3zusnjrgpe5h8qvv7zgr teldon Don't mind me, just testing something. npub1gymmqyfef474vhgfr4qnz8ckm64g0yz320f0qk3zusnjrgpe5h8qvv7zgr teldon The people who think #nostr is anything more than a twitter replacement are the same kind of people that think #ordinals on #bitcoin are a good idea. npub1gymmqyfef474vhgfr4qnz8ckm64g0yz320f0qk3zusnjrgpe5h8qvv7zgr teldon This, this, and nothing but this! The fact that most of the major nostr clients are trying to not just reinvent the wheel but the entire damn car and it's very frustrating. I would take it a step further and completely divorce those things from nostr. Spin them off into their own protocol, better yet, look at existing protocols and either fix them up and extend them or rebuild them. npub1gymmqyfef474vhgfr4qnz8ckm64g0yz320f0qk3zusnjrgpe5h8qvv7zgr teldon Missing someone you hate and detest is a really weird feeling. Needless optimism at a retrospective is a hell of a thing. #feelngs #showerthoughts npub1gymmqyfef474vhgfr4qnz8ckm64g0yz320f0qk3zusnjrgpe5h8qvv7zgr teldon I have a question for those knowledgeable about the more technical side of #bitcoin. Let's say 100 people are creating 100 simple, basic, person-to-person transactions. Is it possible for those transactions to be combined in transit? And if so, would the resulting transaction be more space-efficient than those 100 individual transactions? #asknostr #askbitcoin npub1gymmqyfef474vhgfr4qnz8ckm64g0yz320f0qk3zusnjrgpe5h8qvv7zgr teldon Micro payments may ultimately be the way forward, but until Bitcoin can handle such small payments on-chain, it's gonna be a pipe dream. npub1gymmqyfef474vhgfr4qnz8ckm64g0yz320f0qk3zusnjrgpe5h8qvv7zgr teldon Testing to see if gosip can write to my locally hosted relay. npub1gymmqyfef474vhgfr4qnz8ckm64g0yz320f0qk3zusnjrgpe5h8qvv7zgr teldon Downloaded and compiled a test versin of @npub189j…3tg8 to check out some of the features that @npub1acg…p35c has been working on. The inclusion of a global feed is a huge step forward. The ability to set what relay(s) constitute your global feed and the possibility of better curation tools will turn this feature into an absolute powerhouse. Add in hashtag support so we can see what people are congregating around, and DVM support things like custom trending algos and generally better discoverability, will make Gossip one of if not the best desktop nostr client. It's really looking like it will represent what I understand nostr is and what it should look like. npub1gymmqyfef474vhgfr4qnz8ckm64g0yz320f0qk3zusnjrgpe5h8qvv7zgr teldon Decided to download and compile a testing version of @npub189j…3tg8 to see what things @npub1k08…l5js has been working on. I'm really excited at what I see. Can't wait to see global feeds make it into stable. With better content curation tools (I'll assume they're coming at some point.), hashtag support for better content visibility, and DVM support for better content discovery, Gossip will be THE client that best fits my understanding and vision of what nostr is. npub1gymmqyfef474vhgfr4qnz8ckm64g0yz320f0qk3zusnjrgpe5h8qvv7zgr teldon There's always a weird feeling when the final chapter of a #manga series you've been reading for years comes out. Even though there's "The End" on the last page, it's always the force of habbit the makes you look forward to the next chapter, even though there is no next chapter. It's even more profound when it's a monthly series, because breaking that habitual expectation takes longer. Thank you #TwinStarExorcists for the fun ride. npub1gymmqyfef474vhgfr4qnz8ckm64g0yz320f0qk3zusnjrgpe5h8qvv7zgr teldon I supose that is the long and short of it. npub1gymmqyfef474vhgfr4qnz8ckm64g0yz320f0qk3zusnjrgpe5h8qvv7zgr teldon I don't use lightning because I think it tries to solve a problem that doesn't exist. npub1gymmqyfef474vhgfr4qnz8ckm64g0yz320f0qk3zusnjrgpe5h8qvv7zgr teldon Address added to profile. npub1gymmqyfef474vhgfr4qnz8ckm64g0yz320f0qk3zusnjrgpe5h8qvv7zgr teldon Another thing, #bitcoiners need to have a LOT more trust in #bitcoin as a technology. You are transacting in good faith and not setting the transaction fee so low the transaction never gets mined. There's no need to wait around for conformations outside the initial funding of your wallet, refilling your wallet when you fall below acceptable minimums, and transactions dealing with large amounts of bitcoin. I would not be surprised at all if most poeple have enough money in their bitcoin wallet that they don't need to worry about unconfirmed transactions. Seriously, how man people have been in a situation where they've HAD to wait for an incoming transaction to confirm because they NEEDED to make an outgoing transaction? Think about it for a moment. npub1gymmqyfef474vhgfr4qnz8ckm64g0yz320f0qk3zusnjrgpe5h8qvv7zgr teldon I think most #bitcoin people forget that most traditional forms of payment outside cash have massive lag times between when a transaction is "authorized" and the money actually being payed out by the relevant institution. Hours and sometimes even days. Bitcoin on the other hand is lightning fast in comparison at as little as 10 minutes between a transaction being sent to the mempool (authorized) and that transaction being in a mined block (payed out). npub1gymmqyfef474vhgfr4qnz8ckm64g0yz320f0qk3zusnjrgpe5h8qvv7zgr teldon I don't deal in lighting. On-chain only. npub1gymmqyfef474vhgfr4qnz8ckm64g0yz320f0qk3zusnjrgpe5h8qvv7zgr teldon This is how NIP-05 is supposed to work. At least that's how I've always understood how it works and what it's suppose to represent. It supposed to be a domain you either directly control or directly represent. None of this twitter-handle-esque nonsense. That's what display names are for. That and verifying the npub. npub1gymmqyfef474vhgfr4qnz8ckm64g0yz320f0qk3zusnjrgpe5h8qvv7zgr teldon I've said it once but I'll say it again, the arrogance of inevitability forgets the only inevitable thing in life is death. Seems to be a truth that #nostr has forgotten. npub1gymmqyfef474vhgfr4qnz8ckm64g0yz320f0qk3zusnjrgpe5h8qvv7zgr teldon There, my pfp has been updated. npub1gymmqyfef474vhgfr4qnz8ckm64g0yz320f0qk3zusnjrgpe5h8qvv7zgr teldon Crushed under it's own weight trying to become an everything app. I'm npub1gymmqyfef474vhgfr4qnz8ckm64g0yz320f0qk3zusnjrgpe5h8qvv7zgr teldon 現時点では、このプラットフォームに誰かを招待することはお勧めしない。このプラットフォームは、自分がどうありたいのかわからなくなっている。 npub1gymmqyfef474vhgfr4qnz8ckm64g0yz320f0qk3zusnjrgpe5h8qvv7zgr teldon In the context of #bitcoin #nostr, I've come to really dislike the phrase "we're so early". It comes off as buzzwordy to me, especially when one of those projects has been around for over a decade. npub1gymmqyfef474vhgfr4qnz8ckm64g0yz320f0qk3zusnjrgpe5h8qvv7zgr teldon I really dislike the idea of nostr trying to become the everything app because it feels like instead of just reinventing the wheel, devs are trying to reinvent the whole damn car and I think that is just unnecessary. I think if we strip nostr down to what its original purpose was supposed to be, a Twitter alternative, It worked perfectly fine. Relays were relatively simple to deploy, and clients only needed to do so much. But now we have people wanting nostr to do everything, and things aren't as simple. People are gonna say, "Well clients don't have to implement everything." That may be true on paper, but in practice, the majority effectively dictates what's required. Videos, torrents, streams, a reddit alternative, etc. don't belong on nostr in my opinion. Those should be spun off into independent projects. Things like relay-specific notes end up siloing discussion topics and ultimately make them no better than fediverse instances. I'm not a developer, nor am I a software engineer, but it looks to me that nostr has failed to be simple. But I'm just a single, imperfect, person. — This is a comment on: https://yakihonne.com/article/naddr1qvzqqqr4gupzp978pfzrv6n9xhq5tvenl9e74pklmskh4xw6vxxyp3j8qkke3cezqyw8wumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytfsxyh8jcttd95x7mnwv5hxxmmdqyw8wumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytfsxgh8jcttd95x7mnwv5hxxmmdqy08wumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytfsxvhxgmmjv9nxzcm5dae8jtn0wfnsz9rhwden5te0wfjkccte9ejxzmt4wvhxjmcpremhxue69uhkummnw3ez6vpj9ejx7unpveskxar0wfujummjvuqq6vfhxy6nqvf3x5mrgvf5xqwa25vr npub1gymmqyfef474vhgfr4qnz8ckm64g0yz320f0qk3zusnjrgpe5h8qvv7zgr teldon Bots aren't my concern, as you're never going to get rid of them. What I'm after is being able to block any and all mostr bridges. I can't tell you how many times I've searched hashtag x and only get overwhelmed with results from the fediverse via the mostr bridge. I don't care what the fediverse thinks because I'm searching on nostr, and if I did want to know I'd just search Mastodon. npub1gymmqyfef474vhgfr4qnz8ckm64g0yz320f0qk3zusnjrgpe5h8qvv7zgr teldon Being able to block whole nostr address domains would make search so much more useable! Would allow me to block all the bridges and actually be able to search nostr and nostr only! npub1gymmqyfef474vhgfr4qnz8ckm64g0yz320f0qk3zusnjrgpe5h8qvv7zgr teldon Take a look at this #coinjoin transaction and tell me what you see. #asknostr I bet most of you see privacy. But me? I see #bitcoin scaling. How? More efficient transactions mean more transactions per block, and mean more throughput. Couple that with Bitcoiners actually having a little faith and trust in Bitcoin as a technology meaning people feel comfortable doing conformation-less transacting in the real world and Bitcoin is off to the moon. npub1gymmqyfef474vhgfr4qnz8ckm64g0yz320f0qk3zusnjrgpe5h8qvv7zgr teldon Most #bitcoin enthusiasts forget that any traditional transactions outside of cash are not as instant as they believe! They take hours and sometimes days to actually settle! When you write a check or use your credit card the entity you are paying isn't getting their money instantly. Why is Bitcoin treated differently? Why is it considered slow when it only takes as little as 10 minutes for payments to be settled? npub1gymmqyfef474vhgfr4qnz8ckm64g0yz320f0qk3zusnjrgpe5h8qvv7zgr teldon The way I see it, a #bitcoin transaction in the mempool is good enough as payment for most goods and services. npub1gymmqyfef474vhgfr4qnz8ckm64g0yz320f0qk3zusnjrgpe5h8qvv7zgr teldon Also, I think there is too much emphasis on the "number of transactions per second" #bitcoin can do. Every form of payment has a period of time in a transaction in which a party is missing funds until said transaction settles. The reason credit cards seem to be able to handle a high number of transactions per second is because a third party aka the credit card company, is the one missing funds in the transaction and not either of the transacting parties. If we are putting enough trust in other forms of payments that these vacuums of funds can exist, why can't we put that same level of trust into Bitcoin and transact without confirmation? Well, at least when it comes to transacting for goods and services. npub1gymmqyfef474vhgfr4qnz8ckm64g0yz320f0qk3zusnjrgpe5h8qvv7zgr teldon Native multi-party-in and multi-party-out transactions scale #bitcoin so hard! npub1gymmqyfef474vhgfr4qnz8ckm64g0yz320f0qk3zusnjrgpe5h8qvv7zgr teldon I think what happened is I changed some settings some time ago and completely forgot I made those changes. npub1gymmqyfef474vhgfr4qnz8ckm64g0yz320f0qk3zusnjrgpe5h8qvv7zgr teldon That's exactly what it was. npub1gymmqyfef474vhgfr4qnz8ckm64g0yz320f0qk3zusnjrgpe5h8qvv7zgr teldon For some reason, noStrudel on firefox isn't detecting nostr-relay-tray so I can't select it for the cashing relay. npub1gymmqyfef474vhgfr4qnz8ckm64g0yz320f0qk3zusnjrgpe5h8qvv7zgr teldon Interesting concept for a nostr client that's for sure. npub1gymmqyfef474vhgfr4qnz8ckm64g0yz320f0qk3zusnjrgpe5h8qvv7zgr teldon I really, really like @npub189j…3tg8, but there are one main thing that's really stopping me from switching to it and that is the lack of a global feed. And it really isn't because I want to actually view a global feed but it's nice to be able to search that firehose and not just follows. Useful for when I want to see what nostr as a "whole" are saying about a given keyword or hashtag. Any chance you might add a global feed @npub1acg6thl5psv62405rljzkj8spesceyfz2c32udakc2ak0dmvfeyse9p35c? npub1gymmqyfef474vhgfr4qnz8ckm64g0yz320f0qk3zusnjrgpe5h8qvv7zgr teldon Still testing, for better or worse. npub1gymmqyfef474vhgfr4qnz8ckm64g0yz320f0qk3zusnjrgpe5h8qvv7zgr teldon still testing npub1gymmqyfef474vhgfr4qnz8ckm64g0yz320f0qk3zusnjrgpe5h8qvv7zgr teldon Let's try it now npub1gymmqyfef474vhgfr4qnz8ckm64g0yz320f0qk3zusnjrgpe5h8qvv7zgr teldon It's a damn shame too. npub1gymmqyfef474vhgfr4qnz8ckm64g0yz320f0qk3zusnjrgpe5h8qvv7zgr teldon nope... npub1gymmqyfef474vhgfr4qnz8ckm64g0yz320f0qk3zusnjrgpe5h8qvv7zgr teldon Giving the #nostr relay tray by @npub1syj…f6wl a try. Hopefully this write test works. npub1gymmqyfef474vhgfr4qnz8ckm64g0yz320f0qk3zusnjrgpe5h8qvv7zgr teldon Any requirement for relays and/or clients to moderate posts and content beyond the minimum of what is required by their local jurisdiction means nostr as a whole has failed. npub1gymmqyfef474vhgfr4qnz8ckm64g0yz320f0qk3zusnjrgpe5h8qvv7zgr teldon Yes, yes, and YES! "Nostr bros" want nostr to be the end-all, be-all of everything ever. And because of that the scope bloat is unreal. npub1gymmqyfef474vhgfr4qnz8ckm64g0yz320f0qk3zusnjrgpe5h8qvv7zgr teldon I have no clue, I have no other example of what I'm assuming is identity deniability to use as a frame of reference. npub1gymmqyfef474vhgfr4qnz8ckm64g0yz320f0qk3zusnjrgpe5h8qvv7zgr teldon I am going to make a very bold prediction. #bitcoin will be abandoned and forgotten long before the final coin is mined. npub1gymmqyfef474vhgfr4qnz8ckm64g0yz320f0qk3zusnjrgpe5h8qvv7zgr teldon https://image.nostr.build/d4479b36607895317fd2a96a84208ede84bb34b349c2729403ccc827658411ae.jpg So I came across this little beauty! No clue it even existed. #freedom #freespeech npub1gymmqyfef474vhgfr4qnz8ckm64g0yz320f0qk3zusnjrgpe5h8qvv7zgr teldon I saw @npub1jlr…ynqn post about an SSB dev leaving and I ended up going down a rabbit hole I wasn't expecting to go down. First, I remembered SSB exists and that I have a presence there, albeit a dormant one. After scrolling down my short timeline someone I apparently follow had posted about how they came across and really liked the Gemini protocol. I vaguely remember looking into the protocol years ago, but decided to give it another brief look. I can understand why people might like it, and I can see why it won't be widely adopted. Watching a video about Gemini from "May Contain Hackers 2022", the presenter mentioned something called the tildeverse. From what I can gather the tildeverse is based on tildes which are small social communities that gather around public access *nix servers. Something I don't think I would get into, but something that exists. And It made me realize that people are building social communities around social tech that you nor I have ever heard of and may never hear of. npub1gymmqyfef474vhgfr4qnz8ckm64g0yz320f0qk3zusnjrgpe5h8qvv7zgr teldon And no one paid that lightning invoice. I am not surprised in the slightest. npub1gymmqyfef474vhgfr4qnz8ckm64g0yz320f0qk3zusnjrgpe5h8qvv7zgr teldon Let's see if anyone is willing to pay this random #lightning invoice. npub1gymmqyfef474vhgfr4qnz8ckm64g0yz320f0qk3zusnjrgpe5h8qvv7zgr teldon Ok, thanks for the answer. npub1gymmqyfef474vhgfr4qnz8ckm64g0yz320f0qk3zusnjrgpe5h8qvv7zgr teldon Hang on! @npub1ye5…knpr does nostrudel use ipfs at all? Just installed the ipfs desktop node and the firefox extension, and when I reloaded nostrudel it was coming through my local gateway. npub1gymmqyfef474vhgfr4qnz8ckm64g0yz320f0qk3zusnjrgpe5h8qvv7zgr teldon I love that feeling when I can only remember a 2 or 3 second clip of a #song and am still able to find it with very little searching! #music npub1gymmqyfef474vhgfr4qnz8ckm64g0yz320f0qk3zusnjrgpe5h8qvv7zgr teldon Looking at some of the new noStrudel features and I gotta say, associating a color to an identity based on npub is something I would have never thought of. Also like the way it now shows zaps, likes, reposts, etc. I like what I see @npub1ye5…knpr npub1gymmqyfef474vhgfr4qnz8ckm64g0yz320f0qk3zusnjrgpe5h8qvv7zgr teldon And the transaction in question if you want to verify yourself. 7923e59abd8f8ab40dcc7915ae864d8b7ad6776811ba4d478f42248a7827a7f3 npub1gymmqyfef474vhgfr4qnz8ckm64g0yz320f0qk3zusnjrgpe5h8qvv7zgr teldon You should have seen some of the fees people were willing to pay to be in the halving block. Someone literally paid a 99,000,000 sat fee for a transaction that totaled less than 100,000 sats. npub1gymmqyfef474vhgfr4qnz8ckm64g0yz320f0qk3zusnjrgpe5h8qvv7zgr teldon Interesting, according to mempool.space the fee for the halving block was roughly 200 sats/vbyte whereas the previous halving was only roughly 90 sats/vbyte. Goes to show how much #bitcoin has exploded in the last 4 years. npub1gymmqyfef474vhgfr4qnz8ckm64g0yz320f0qk3zusnjrgpe5h8qvv7zgr teldon So a #bitcoin halving is apparently happening soon. Neat. npub1gymmqyfef474vhgfr4qnz8ckm64g0yz320f0qk3zusnjrgpe5h8qvv7zgr teldon Had a random realization. It's actually kind of nice not having a lot of #followers on any platform. Because sometimes you want to say some crazy shit out in the open and not have anyone notice. npub1gymmqyfef474vhgfr4qnz8ckm64g0yz320f0qk3zusnjrgpe5h8qvv7zgr teldon Wtf is this censored nonsense‽ I'm just asking for a simple translation! If #nostr is meant to be unstoppable, then simple #translations like this can not be censored. PERIOD! npub1gymmqyfef474vhgfr4qnz8ckm64g0yz320f0qk3zusnjrgpe5h8qvv7zgr teldon It's not so much that is "the best", it's just what I've used the longest and I'm too lazy to switch. npub1gymmqyfef474vhgfr4qnz8ckm64g0yz320f0qk3zusnjrgpe5h8qvv7zgr teldon I only use noStrudel. It does the one thing I want to get out of nostr and that is a Twitter alternative. npub1gymmqyfef474vhgfr4qnz8ckm64g0yz320f0qk3zusnjrgpe5h8qvv7zgr teldon Just watched my first anime movie in a *long* time. Side note, it's annoying when you need to watch a series progresses "Anime, Movie, Anime". npub1gymmqyfef474vhgfr4qnz8ckm64g0yz320f0qk3zusnjrgpe5h8qvv7zgr teldon Sadly I am broke and have more important things I need money for. npub1gymmqyfef474vhgfr4qnz8ckm64g0yz320f0qk3zusnjrgpe5h8qvv7zgr teldon Well, it's not the end of the world for me. At least not yet. npub1gymmqyfef474vhgfr4qnz8ckm64g0yz320f0qk3zusnjrgpe5h8qvv7zgr teldon Fun fact: I own no on-chain #bitcoin and only have 3,433 sats in #lightning npub1gymmqyfef474vhgfr4qnz8ckm64g0yz320f0qk3zusnjrgpe5h8qvv7zgr teldon I've heard that too. Though from my understanding part of that is thanks to geo-locked relays. npub1gymmqyfef474vhgfr4qnz8ckm64g0yz320f0qk3zusnjrgpe5h8qvv7zgr teldon I'm not overly technically minded but from the way you put point one, it sounds like nostr has a really nasty drug addiction, metaphorically speaking. npub1gymmqyfef474vhgfr4qnz8ckm64g0yz320f0qk3zusnjrgpe5h8qvv7zgr teldon I would highly recommend World's Greatest Con by Brian Brushwood. Season one covers Operation Mincemeat, Season two covers 60's gameshow cheating scandals, Season three covers Project Alpha, and a mini-season that covers how Disney's Reedy Creek Development Area came to be. npub1gymmqyfef474vhgfr4qnz8ckm64g0yz320f0qk3zusnjrgpe5h8qvv7zgr teldon Never mind! Figured it out! npub1gymmqyfef474vhgfr4qnz8ckm64g0yz320f0qk3zusnjrgpe5h8qvv7zgr teldon So it seems you can't have an empty NIP-05 field after having an entry... That seems like an oversight. #nostr npub1gymmqyfef474vhgfr4qnz8ckm64g0yz320f0qk3zusnjrgpe5h8qvv7zgr teldon And the github repo that I was using has now been deleted. npub1gymmqyfef474vhgfr4qnz8ckm64g0yz320f0qk3zusnjrgpe5h8qvv7zgr teldon I've thought about it all day, and I've settled on removing my NIP-05 address as github.io is not a domain I own and control. I may not have been using a Nip-05 address from one of the popular "providers", but I have been using a domain I do not own. I have been a dishonest hypocrite by stating my belief that NIP-05 is to be used as a pre-Elon Twitter-like verification and then using a domain I do not own and control for my NIP-05 address. This may seem like a stupid thing to talk about and do, and it may hurt what little reach I have, but it's the right thing to do. And before people start hounding me to use their NIP-05 "provider", don't bother. I will not be adding back an NIP-05 address until it is one using a domain I own. #nostr #accountability npub1gymmqyfef474vhgfr4qnz8ckm64g0yz320f0qk3zusnjrgpe5h8qvv7zgr teldon Starting to wonder if I should remove the NIP-05 address I use as it is not a domain I directly control, thus have no proper way of verifying who I am the way the NIP is actually supposed to. #nostr npub1gymmqyfef474vhgfr4qnz8ckm64g0yz320f0qk3zusnjrgpe5h8qvv7zgr teldon Here's a #controversial opinion: #nostr is not the be-all, end-all when it comes to big tech replacements, nor should it be! When I first joined the nostr ecosystem, it was just a simple well-thought-out Twitter replacement. But developers seem so obsessed with creating "The next big thing! ™" that in the eight months that I've been here I've seen a Reddit clone get tacked on, a Wikipedia clone get tacked on, a Youtube replacement get tacked on, an Instagram replacement get tacked on, a Twitch replacement tacked on, a few attempts to tack on a Patreon-like replacement, a few more things being tacked on that I can't remember off the top of my head, and now I'm seeing people calling for WebMD-like thing to be tacked on. Not to mention all the NIP bloat needed to support this nonsense. npub1gymmqyfef474vhgfr4qnz8ckm64g0yz320f0qk3zusnjrgpe5h8qvv7zgr teldon Yep! This is one of the first things I thought when I saw it. The idea of this proposed NIP comes across as wanting to silo content, of any kind. Thus it has the same fundamental issue people have with ActivityPub. Granted it doesn't silo a person's identity and their existence in the nostr ecosystem, but it does silo what they post. npub1gymmqyfef474vhgfr4qnz8ckm64g0yz320f0qk3zusnjrgpe5h8qvv7zgr teldon Brownies!!!! #foodstr https://image.nostr.build/6588efe5a2b0dffc06da42c566f017de5c0b399b411f06ea72836330de01a1c8.jpg npub1gymmqyfef474vhgfr4qnz8ckm64g0yz320f0qk3zusnjrgpe5h8qvv7zgr teldon Two-factor all the things!!! npub1gymmqyfef474vhgfr4qnz8ckm64g0yz320f0qk3zusnjrgpe5h8qvv7zgr teldon There's some concern that people are only using either a client default relays or just 2 or 3 of the most popular relays. I could be way off on this though. npub1gymmqyfef474vhgfr4qnz8ckm64g0yz320f0qk3zusnjrgpe5h8qvv7zgr teldon This is the first time I've ever seen a canary get removed. This is wild! npub1gymmqyfef474vhgfr4qnz8ckm64g0yz320f0qk3zusnjrgpe5h8qvv7zgr teldon The idea as I understand it is one part decentralization/censorship resistance so if one relay takes action against you don't disappear, and one part failover so if one relay goes down you can still post to the other relays you are connected to. npub1gymmqyfef474vhgfr4qnz8ckm64g0yz320f0qk3zusnjrgpe5h8qvv7zgr teldon After posting, I only discovered that noStrudel shows you proof of work being done if you have that enabled! While one could argue that it doesn't need to be shown to the user if other clients show that proof of work was done, it's still a nice bit of transparency. npub1gymmqyfef474vhgfr4qnz8ckm64g0yz320f0qk3zusnjrgpe5h8qvv7zgr teldon Didn't realize you could add relays to NIP-05! Very handy! Also while writing this note that noStrudel detects and auto links NIPs. That is actually quite handy! #nostr npub1gymmqyfef474vhgfr4qnz8ckm64g0yz320f0qk3zusnjrgpe5h8qvv7zgr teldon Agreed. The idea of curation goes out the window when you start following that many people. Do you want people to follow? Wade into global and narrow down what you see by keyword or hashtag searches. Does it feel like you're following too many people? Go through your follow list and start pruning. How do you choose who you prune? That is ultimately up to the end user but the criteria I might use is: "Are they posting frequently enough for your liking?" "Has their content shifted too far away from what you were following them for?" "Have they recently posted something that gravely violates your ethics and morals?" things like that. npub1gymmqyfef474vhgfr4qnz8ckm64g0yz320f0qk3zusnjrgpe5h8qvv7zgr teldon The basic idea is to put a copy of a note, either yours or someone else's, onto relays that they aren't on. npub1gymmqyfef474vhgfr4qnz8ckm64g0yz320f0qk3zusnjrgpe5h8qvv7zgr teldon I wholeheartedly agree with everything here. Another issue I foresee with topic-specific relays is one of the problems Mastodon has, confusion about what to do and where to go. Not to mention, given how nostr works, there would be a LOT of unintentional cross-topic-relay posting that theoretically would result in bans and a bad experience for the end user. Moderators should only step in when there is something that violates the law in the jurisdiction where the relay is based. npub1gymmqyfef474vhgfr4qnz8ckm64g0yz320f0qk3zusnjrgpe5h8qvv7zgr teldon If a client uses nostr.band for its searches then no. Sadly nostr.band indexes mostr.pub which poisons any attempt to search. If it doesn't then searches are probably based only on what relays you are using. Beyond that, I have no clue. npub1gymmqyfef474vhgfr4qnz8ckm64g0yz320f0qk3zusnjrgpe5h8qvv7zgr teldon All I really want is a filter that effectively says "if NIP-05=*@mostr.pub then hide post". Though from the sounds of it, that is unrealistic. npub1gymmqyfef474vhgfr4qnz8ckm64g0yz320f0qk3zusnjrgpe5h8qvv7zgr teldon It's not on my relay list. At least it shouldn't be.
