I think pre-selected relays is the only user friendly way atm... Otherwise half the ppl will miss half the topics and that's a terrible experience.

gpt-4 API is available for all (has been for weeks now). Using the API is substantially cheaper than the web ui, though I dunno if the web ui has some bonus features still. Casual use via API costs me about $1/mo

When I have a difficult question, even if I know that GPT is gonna hallucinate at me I still ask GPT and treat is as "good enough" truth. Searching the web will just get me GPT generated blog posts anyway, and those are even worse. Searching for credible sources is too time consuming.

Rather than NIP-07, I think each client should get its own derived key and that key would be sent & stored server side. Then you could just have regular login flows. Trust would be needed but as the xpriv holder you should be able to invalidate keys.
In short, the current signing system sucks, it's not nearly user friendly enough.

Torrent tracker RARBG was closed. I don't know if there's a shortage of torrent trackers, but running a tracker on nostr might be an opening. I think it may be illegal in a lot of places, though. At least I assume so, because there's no big time fediverse torrent tracker.

2023-05-31 13:21:02

The newest move(?) by Twitter crypto scammers, of making a fake trader twitter account and then adding bots to praise that account, is a smart move, because it makes it difficult to ban the fake trader account, since it could be real, and so they don't lose the botting investment.

Nutritional science is so biased toward meat eaters... On a plant based diet, it's so difficult to know what to believe.
I cannot tell if high protein is bad for longevity on a vegan diet, or not. Some studies say it's bad for carnies, but is that because they reduce meat consumption, or is it really the protein? And is there a difference between plant and animal protein there? I assume GPT10 will be able to answer these for me

yep, content quality on bsky is likely high exactly because of restricted access.
It still gets a lot of posts, however. So in that way it seems to be doing very well. And gatekeeping access _could_ be thought of as a feature, even on an otherwise decentralized platform (which it isn't atm, though).

What I did on the firenostr app could work. In essence, relays are like servers on discord, except that you may toggle multiple on at any given time.
* People already know how a sidebar works in this setting, based on discord/telegram.
* You can quickly toggle relays on/off

https://firenostr.vercel.app/
I made this in inspiration of https://firesky.tv/ . I wanted to get an understanding of how many people actually use nostr. Seems better than I expected!
However, you can really see the spammy stuff in there too. I really wish (friendly) bots added a "I am a bot" field somewhere so they could be marked as such.

2023-05-08 05:44:19

Is there a thing like this for nostr? https://firesky.tv/
Essentially a very basic streaming global view. I want to compare, to get an idea of how many ppl actually post on nostr. At least my global view is just littered with garbage, my guess is that there's less than 200 users on nostr at any given time, excluding the "GM/PV/GN" people

2023-05-07 13:58:26

I can understand the appeal of making new nostr frontends, but isn't it a bit redundant already? There's like 20 of them. Sure, all of them suck in their own ways, however making new kinds of apps should still be more productive?

2023-05-07 13:49:47

Delegating the payment part of zapping to server side would improve the desktop flow quite a bit. Meaning backend would pay zaps for you and you'd deposit to a custodial wallet for that purpose.

Overspecialized NIPs have me confused. How many NIPs are there for this NIP94-wars fiasco? How many specs for sharing files/images does one need?

In my mind, when AGI comes around, it will very quickly solve all our problems and make money obsolete. And if one thinks that'll happen within the next 10 years, then saving up (or HODLing with fierce passion even more so) seems a bit ludicrous.
