AI has moved so fast, the perceived incumbent (OpenAI) is still in the phase of losing massive amounts of money. What that says about the future is anyone’s guess. I personally think OpenAI will become a huge company (Sam Altman is still a turd).

I don’t have a strong opinion about it, but I consider $MSTR a shitcoin.

I feel for all the bitcoin media influencers who don’t have much of a choice but to participate on X and other social networks. It’s exhausting and not good for your overall mental health.
Shout out to @npub1s05…eyhe and @npub1qny…95gx and all the other folks who have stopped putting their time and energy into broken structures.
It’s good to be here.

Decentralized vs. Centralized Apps
Today, your app probably works something like this:
- A user installs your app or navigates to your app’s url.
- The user signs in with a username and password, or an account likely tied to a major identity provider such as Google or Apple.
- Using that provided identity as a key, your app then creates a set of entries in your databases, likely hosted by a cloud provider such as AWS, Azure, or GCP.
- As your user begins using your app, the app’s frontend will repeatedly make calls to a backend that you’ve stood up on your cloud provider to query databases and provide data to the user.
Reading this over, you’ll realize just how much of a dependency both your app and your user take on 3rd party providers. While this has been a stable model for developers for well over a decade, user identity, user data, app data, and app infrastructure are all hosted by 3rd parties. Web5 changes this by restoring control back to end users via the following flow:
- A user installs or navigates to your app’s url.
- The user signs in to your app with an account tied to their Decentralized Identifier (DID).
- Using that provided identity as a key, your app then creates a set of entries in the user’s Decentralized Web Node (DWN), a personal data store which they host and own. DWN management can be simplified for end users through the use of a wallet, making decentralized apps accessible to average end users.
- As your user begins using your app, the app’s frontend will repeatedly make calls to the user’s DWN to query and provide data to the user. If there is app data needed, the app will query the app’s infrastructure DWNs to retrieve that information.
You’ll notice that while data ownership and location radically changed between these two models, nothing changed for the end user! That means that as a developer, all you need to do to provide the benefits of a web5 application to both yourself and your end users is to simply change where your data is stored.

I use Damus and Wallet of Satoshi and it works well.

If you haven’t checked out “Web5” lately, I’d highly recommend reading the TBD (part of @npub1sg6…f63m's Block) website. There is working code, examples and great docs for Decentralized IDs, Verifiable Credentials and Decentralized Web Nodes. It’s a completely different paradigm for web apps, one where users own their data and identity.

Yes we do have WoS in Canada. That’s what I use for zaps (w/ Damus)…it works great and is easy to use.

Do you use the built in wallet for sending and receiving zaps?

2024-09-03 19:06:56 GMT

The Primal wallet is not available in Canada. I know there’s probably a way to connect an external wallet but it wasn’t obvious.

I sold my Twitter handle (for half a bitcoin!) a month ago and decided going back was supporting a platform I didn’t believe in. Not only is Nostr a free and open network, but the users feel like they are part of building something.

2024-08-30 04:47:19 GMT

Would love to have Twitter (the “following” feed, not the insidious “For You” algorithm) and Nostr in one combined view.
Would have been easy to do in the earlier years of Twitter, when there was an API and a whole ecosystem of clients.
I hope there is a future where walled gardens aren’t acceptable to users and X just adopts Nostr. Problem solved.

2024-08-08 22:03:01 GMT

Back on Nostr after a long hiatus. Am seriously thinking about getting off twitter permanently…the algorithm is completely fucked.

I too have confidence in the Fedimint devs (and Cashu) to mitigate the custodial risks. Looking forward to the next year...am super bullish on ecash "banking".

2024-02-11 18:54:40 GMT

- reply

Although I am a fan of the project, I don't like Fedimint being referred to as a scaling solution. it is a fully custodial solution and loses many properties that make Bitcoin what it is.

Yes, that will work! Just make sure the path to the nostr.json file is domain.com/.well-known/nostr.json

The 3 main steps are: 1. updating your profile with an address, 2. creating a Nostr.json file with your username and hex of your public key, and 3. uploading it to the proper place on your server. Let me know if you run into troubles! The guides help.
