Last Notes npub1lgyh0e6kk78eqzy4jadqxv7u00qwehsc0q3kje99uryaumyy8vgqyjs73e Zen As someone who is fully avoiding AI tooling, I think a lot about how a lot of people these days have no clue how to navigate to a destination without a GPS. Programming is a "use it or lose it" type skill like anything else, and AI seems to be filtering out a lot of the people who don't really do it for the joy of building stuff. It kind of sucks to see people being able to do what I do without the time investment, but it's only a matter of time before people end up with a cognitive dependency on a non-free system. Even though AI is "open-source", it requires a prohibitive amount of resources to make it work effectively. Once there's sufficient market capture, you can be certain that AI companies will start price gouging. If you wrote your software by hand, you'll be able to maintain and fix it by hand. That's my philosophy, anyways. npub1lgyh0e6kk78eqzy4jadqxv7u00qwehsc0q3kje99uryaumyy8vgqyjs73e Zen just a spitball, but it should be possible to create a custodial wallet system which can convert the funds into a new channel once someone sets up their own lightning node. I don't think the solution is to encourage everybody to run their own node (as much I would like that to be the case), to me it seems more important that the off-ramp exists for anyone who decides to take more responsibility over their funds npub1lgyh0e6kk78eqzy4jadqxv7u00qwehsc0q3kje99uryaumyy8vgqyjs73e Zen one of these days I'm going to build something really cool, and then I'm going to post about it on nostr. that day is not today today is the day i post a picture of some bread i made https://m.primal.net/OIiK.jpg npub1lgyh0e6kk78eqzy4jadqxv7u00qwehsc0q3kje99uryaumyy8vgqyjs73e Zen https://reticulum.network/manual/hardware.html#rnode It's right there in the manual. Support for all kinds of LoRa devices, packet radio, anything with a serial port... npub1lgyh0e6kk78eqzy4jadqxv7u00qwehsc0q3kje99uryaumyy8vgqyjs73e Zen Neat! There's a lot here, I'd have to read up on everything else it does but this seems to be a good option for the use case I'm looking for. Thanks for fielding the questions. npub1lgyh0e6kk78eqzy4jadqxv7u00qwehsc0q3kje99uryaumyy8vgqyjs73e Zen Right, but in my case I *want* a Lightning node. How does that work, I suppose I would need to run a mint myself? npub1lgyh0e6kk78eqzy4jadqxv7u00qwehsc0q3kje99uryaumyy8vgqyjs73e Zen Neat, I like the simplicity of that approach. So the "wallet" here is an ecash wallet, which can send and receive tokens to a cooperative Lightning node in exchange for a lightning transfer of equal value? npub1lgyh0e6kk78eqzy4jadqxv7u00qwehsc0q3kje99uryaumyy8vgqyjs73e Zen Well, that certainly sounds like an interesting premise. I've operated a Lightning node for a couple years now, and I'm not sold on ecash yet. As far as anonymity goes, I always thought that running Lightning over Tor was enough - is this not the case? I can imagine that, if I want to give friends access to operate through my system, I'll need to have some standard for keeping track of how much each person holds. It seems that this is the use-case that ecash aims to solve, but it certainly seems like a complicated way to go about it. Is there something I'm missing? npub1lgyh0e6kk78eqzy4jadqxv7u00qwehsc0q3kje99uryaumyy8vgqyjs73e Zen on that note, I'm not seeing anything worthwhile coming from mostr.pub either npub1lgyh0e6kk78eqzy4jadqxv7u00qwehsc0q3kje99uryaumyy8vgqyjs73e Zen Is it possible to block according to nip-05 host? I'm pretty sure that everyone from nostrich.house is a bot. npub1lgyh0e6kk78eqzy4jadqxv7u00qwehsc0q3kje99uryaumyy8vgqyjs73e Zen Oh! I misunderstood. Indeed, that's quite a bit of complexity. Good idea, cool UI. npub1lgyh0e6kk78eqzy4jadqxv7u00qwehsc0q3kje99uryaumyy8vgqyjs73e Zen I mean, the 5 emoji of their password will be added to the selection grid along with 20 of the other 3659 available emojis. Is that grid randomized every time? Can someone narrow down the password by seeing which emoji change and which don't? npub1lgyh0e6kk78eqzy4jadqxv7u00qwehsc0q3kje99uryaumyy8vgqyjs73e Zen Is it a random set of 25 emoji each time? npub1lgyh0e6kk78eqzy4jadqxv7u00qwehsc0q3kje99uryaumyy8vgqyjs73e Zen Is a 51% attack a threat when it comes to miners specifically? I thought it was only a problem in the case of all bitcoin full nodes. npub1lgyh0e6kk78eqzy4jadqxv7u00qwehsc0q3kje99uryaumyy8vgqyjs73e Zen https://image.nostr.build/3d64eb7cfc55902e0d9d6bfc7bf2d6b70644fe2bc6adff4924d39b801ae360fc.jpg Once again disappointed by the nostr community npub1lgyh0e6kk78eqzy4jadqxv7u00qwehsc0q3kje99uryaumyy8vgqyjs73e Zen It's almost like being progressive is... a progressive thing. Things change over twenty years, and if you don't put effort into changing then you shift towards whatever makes you feel comfortable. npub1lgyh0e6kk78eqzy4jadqxv7u00qwehsc0q3kje99uryaumyy8vgqyjs73e Zen You're literally a bot. npub1lgyh0e6kk78eqzy4jadqxv7u00qwehsc0q3kje99uryaumyy8vgqyjs73e Zen I would probably catch flak for this if I had more of a platform here, but, whatever. The nostr community is... not the best. Maybe I haven't explored enough, but everyone seems caught up in this collective echo chamber of self-serving bitcoin capitalism. Y'all are posting about extravagant trips to remote destinations and eating steak for dinner, meanwhile I'm over here living with my parents because I'm utterly repulsed by the idea of working for the same system that is responsible for the enslavement of the global south and most minority populations. Like, is there anyone out here actually using their newfound wealth to lift up impoverished people in their community? npub1lgyh0e6kk78eqzy4jadqxv7u00qwehsc0q3kje99uryaumyy8vgqyjs73e Zen hi! I'm building an interoperation toolkit that connects nostr to a bunch of other decentralized systems. Also, I'm building a client-builder hahaha npub1lgyh0e6kk78eqzy4jadqxv7u00qwehsc0q3kje99uryaumyy8vgqyjs73e Zen are you a bot? you sound like a bot to me. i bet you wont even type without proper punctuation, nerd npub1lgyh0e6kk78eqzy4jadqxv7u00qwehsc0q3kje99uryaumyy8vgqyjs73e Zen Okay, so it's not the component responsible for media uploads etc.? npub1lgyh0e6kk78eqzy4jadqxv7u00qwehsc0q3kje99uryaumyy8vgqyjs73e Zen What do you mean? We're talking about people randomly generating new keypairs to flood accounts, right? Phones have enough compute to run basic PoW on a metadata event npub1lgyh0e6kk78eqzy4jadqxv7u00qwehsc0q3kje99uryaumyy8vgqyjs73e Zen @nprofile…nhan what exactly does dufflepud *do*? I'm having a hard time parsing the main 'app.py' npub1lgyh0e6kk78eqzy4jadqxv7u00qwehsc0q3kje99uryaumyy8vgqyjs73e Zen proof-of-work, this is what NIP-13 is for. Filter out any npubs without a kind-0 rated at a difficulty of at least 20. npub1lgyh0e6kk78eqzy4jadqxv7u00qwehsc0q3kje99uryaumyy8vgqyjs73e Zen gn, I don't have much to say but I hope y'all are pursuing meaningful hobbies and studying subjects that interest you npub1lgyh0e6kk78eqzy4jadqxv7u00qwehsc0q3kje99uryaumyy8vgqyjs73e Zen I think I would use nostr more if my friends were here... but they're not and addictive platforms have a serious gravitational pull npub1lgyh0e6kk78eqzy4jadqxv7u00qwehsc0q3kje99uryaumyy8vgqyjs73e Zen @nprofile…fcen @nprofile…mtez What do you think of an HTTP-based login flow for NIP-46? I find the current spec to be needlessly complicated for a protocol that is supposed to be as simple as possible. Here's what I do in my home-cooked client: 1. User wants to sign in as pleb:[email protected] , so the client queries for /login and /sign endpoints specified by the /.well-known/nostr.json file at nostr.relay 2. Client sends a POST to the /login endpoint containing the username and their password. On successful auth, the client receives a session key. 3. When the user wants to post a note, they send the unsigned event to the /sign endpoint with their session key in the header. Server responds with the signed event. 4. Client posts the signed note. For clarity, I use a locally hosted server to do the signing. I would sign in as pleb@localhost if a client asked for it. Is this worth (re)writing a NIP for? I'm honestly kind of surprised that nobody has done this yet. npub1lgyh0e6kk78eqzy4jadqxv7u00qwehsc0q3kje99uryaumyy8vgqyjs73e Zen sous vide in a dishwasher is the most creative thing I've heard about all day npub1lgyh0e6kk78eqzy4jadqxv7u00qwehsc0q3kje99uryaumyy8vgqyjs73e Zen Is it just me or is the NIP-46 spec needlessly complicated? npub1lgyh0e6kk78eqzy4jadqxv7u00qwehsc0q3kje99uryaumyy8vgqyjs73e Zen yea, but I'm irrelevant to you and everyone you know in your West African coastal community. Whether or not we talk all the time is irrelevant, I could be a chatbot. npub1lgyh0e6kk78eqzy4jadqxv7u00qwehsc0q3kje99uryaumyy8vgqyjs73e Zen I mean, PGP's main trust condition is meeting IRL, and I don't think anything should supplant that. I'm pretty sure that everything else is based on degrees of separation npub1lgyh0e6kk78eqzy4jadqxv7u00qwehsc0q3kje99uryaumyy8vgqyjs73e Zen Cool, I think it's a path worth exploring. It's probably something as simple as an event with someone else's pubkey as its content. Throw in some proof-of-work to give the signature some weight, perhaps? npub1lgyh0e6kk78eqzy4jadqxv7u00qwehsc0q3kje99uryaumyy8vgqyjs73e Zen @nprofile…f9kn another Coracle question. Is your implementation of WoT equivalent (not necessarily compatible) to how it works in systems like OpenPGP? If not, what needs to be done to get there? npub1lgyh0e6kk78eqzy4jadqxv7u00qwehsc0q3kje99uryaumyy8vgqyjs73e Zen @nprofile…slqz what implements Coracle's internet identifier sign-in? Is there an established NIP for that workflow? npub1lgyh0e6kk78eqzy4jadqxv7u00qwehsc0q3kje99uryaumyy8vgqyjs73e Zen do you ever sing John Denver songs in a call-and-response format with your kids? That seems like your vibe npub1lgyh0e6kk78eqzy4jadqxv7u00qwehsc0q3kje99uryaumyy8vgqyjs73e Zen if you think the year is gonna be nutty, just wait until you hear about the rest of the decade npub1lgyh0e6kk78eqzy4jadqxv7u00qwehsc0q3kje99uryaumyy8vgqyjs73e Zen gn friends, don't forget to spend some time hanging out with nature every once in a while. npub1lgyh0e6kk78eqzy4jadqxv7u00qwehsc0q3kje99uryaumyy8vgqyjs73e Zen Rushkoff seems doubtful about Bitcoin, judging by some recent articles. I don't blame him, or anyone, for not holding on to hope when the people who are getting rich are going completely "Atlas Shrugged" about it and conferencing on remote islands. When I think back on this interview, one of the things that comes to mind is the statement that family businesses (which tend to make everyone around them wealthy) out-perform corporations almost across the board, apart from boom cycles. To connect those two thoughts, I would say that getting people like him on board is all about using the wealth and affluence afforded by holding Bitcoin to support one's local community and help pull others out of poverty. npub1lgyh0e6kk78eqzy4jadqxv7u00qwehsc0q3kje99uryaumyy8vgqyjs73e Zen Douglas Rushkoff has a really interesting talk on the concept of an "economic operating system". He covers a lot of thinking that is bitcoin adjacent, but also does an excellent job of diving into the how and why we got ourselves into this collective mess in the first place. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0EnmH95016w npub1lgyh0e6kk78eqzy4jadqxv7u00qwehsc0q3kje99uryaumyy8vgqyjs73e Zen good morning friends! have you considered volunteering in the community where you live? it's a great way to give back npub1lgyh0e6kk78eqzy4jadqxv7u00qwehsc0q3kje99uryaumyy8vgqyjs73e Zen good morning mr scary skull man npub1lgyh0e6kk78eqzy4jadqxv7u00qwehsc0q3kje99uryaumyy8vgqyjs73e Zen Ultimately, I want to release something that feels 'professional'. I'm confident in my writing and playing abilities, but I feel hamstrung by a lack of support. I've put stuff together with Audacity, a DAW, and a microphone, but it doesn't sound polished and I have no idea how to make that happen. You can hear an example here: https://solar.credenso.cafe/vibes/ - click on Time npub1lgyh0e6kk78eqzy4jadqxv7u00qwehsc0q3kje99uryaumyy8vgqyjs73e Zen I've got a bunch of demos that I've written, but I'm having trouble taking the final steps towards getting my stuff released - anyone have suggestions on taking an acoustic song and turning it into a full recording? npub1lgyh0e6kk78eqzy4jadqxv7u00qwehsc0q3kje99uryaumyy8vgqyjs73e Zen Good morning friends! I've been working on Nostr-related projects for a little while now, but I'm just getting started with meeting the other people on the platform - how many of y'all run your own Lightning node? npub1lgyh0e6kk78eqzy4jadqxv7u00qwehsc0q3kje99uryaumyy8vgqyjs73e Zen Holepunch is doing some real cool stuff. I was working with them a while back, but Keet hasn't been open sourced yet so I haven't tried it npub1lgyh0e6kk78eqzy4jadqxv7u00qwehsc0q3kje99uryaumyy8vgqyjs73e Zen GM friends! What needs to happen for #nostr to reach critical mass? Are we just riding the wave rn?
