Last Notes
Hey. I’ve just been busy recently. Repost a few times.
Yup. That’s a good time. 💜
Thanks for checking on this!
Great list and very happy to see Robosats @1p2psats:rqqk3m82 on there!

Get rid of unspoken expectations.
If you want something, ask for it.
If the answer is no, ask someone else, or find a way to get it yourself 💜
Does anyone know if this is true??
If so, and over 2.5 MILLION crapto coins have actually been created,
and currently about 12,000 are trading on Coin Gecko (which is ofc obscene),
that means there is a 0.005% chance of guessing which new coin will ‘make it’ (using that term *very* loosely).
Am I missing anything here?
(Still in process of editing the 2nd edition of my book,
so expect more weird questions :)

Multi Level Marketing is another one.
Just saying. It’s not a scam. But it’s not much different either. Aside from the underlying driving fact of “sound money” … the spread of Bitcoin has MLM architecture.

As I edit my book for the 2nd edition, some of the updated charts/stats are v interesting!
This one is somewhat concerning.. (and if not, please enlighten me!)
When I wrote the first edition in early 2022, the qubit record was held by IBM and was only 127 qubits.
I just discovered that 18 months later, Oct 2023, a team in the Dept of Physics at TU Darmstadt broke the mark of 1,000 “individually controllable atomic qubits.”
While it has been estimated that a machine would need 13 million qubits to break SHA-256, it seems to me that at 10x every two years (which this team is aiming to do), it could take just ten years to get there.
Thoughts?
https://www.newscientist.com/article/2399246-record-breaking-quantum-computer-has-more-than-1000-qubits/
I came to Nostr last year with a dream of building a social home for Libertarian politics. I’ve been involved in local Libertarian politics for many years. I administered the “slack” online workspace for the Jorgensen 2020 presidential campaign. Libertarians really suck at organizing big things. Myself included. But I wanted to make “online communication” better at least.
I always envisioned building an online tool that respected the “sovereignty” of every valued volunteer, and that this respect would percolate “up the chain” (TF was I thinking) to allow for a more “decentralized” volunteer coordination experience across chapters and national politics. For years I kept one “eye” on the pulse of social media technology, writing up my ideas in white papers and being laughed at by state and national LP officials. I set up our local chapter with a “Nextcloud” instance and tried to convince others to follow suit. But to no avail. I’m just a gen X slacker, not really interested in convincing others to do stuff that they don’t wanna do.
The Libertarian party (of all parties) doesn’t care about decentralization or self sovereignty.
The more I “got into” Nostr, the more I have come to see that party politics is a lost cause. Democracy… I still have hopes for. But political parties as “representative” of social or economic “ideals” is a joke. They do not. Parties care about politics and gaining access to the levers of government.
Bitcoin … also has huge centralizing forces. I am not a maxi, but I believe in the technology. More importantly, I believe in the community. The Bitcoin community is pushing a global ethos of “freedom technology” to promote “self sovereignty” across all layers of society. Pick your color. Any “freedom tech” pill is gonna help the orange pill go down, but they are ALL important in their own right. THIS is why I love Bitcoin. It’s the people with laser eyes and humble stacks.
Nostr has taught me a lot. This scrappy and disorganized band of “would be” anarchists and politically homeless “sovereign online citizens” from around the world enlightens me every day. I’m not sure where I’m going with all of this except to say… this election cycle I’m dropping politics. Prolly vote NOTA.
I’m into Nostr for Nostr’s sake. Not for any other reason. I’m here to build Nostr tools FOR Nostr. I’m here for as long as it takes to grow Nostr, BECAUSE sovereignty online is actually that important. Nostr is important in its own right.
I am a nobody. I don’t imagine that being somebody will help myself or anybody else. All I hope for is to push this ball forward. Freedom tech is what matters.
Here’s a direct link to the group in coracle. @npub1yye…hmd0 and @npub1clk…pup9 im prolly gonna delete the OP shortly and make a new post with this link.

@npub1jlr…ynqn your invite links don’t work. Sharing group URL from address bar is better. We need to work on better invites.
I thought it might not… but I didn’t try to refresh before going to nostrudel so wasn’t sure.
Joining from nostrudel worked for me… but navigating the group is better in coracle.
Roya. Your heart is in the right place. But this dude is just a rude troll. Block him and move on. 💜
iOS? Same problem I had when joining the group. Either refresh the page or join via nostrudel and then reload coracle.

If you don’t have a hashtag … now you do. It matches your domain also. So … one reinforces the other. Let’s get devs aligned on both.

#note146h…4cwc
End of the day, hyperbole aside, they are targeting algos. Specifically (here’s the dangerous part) lack of choice about algos. This is Nostr’s argument also.
Now “freedom tech” doesn’t have a voice yet to push back, and even if it did, freedom itself is tainted by moral panic … so chances are that “freedom to choose” won’t make it into any law… but if it did. Nostr wins.
I’m not saying more laws are better … but if this fear mongering moral panic gets traction, then Nostr (and freedom tech) might have a chance to come out on top.
Slim. But maybe.
Hey @npub1jdg…2mys
Any idea why the sats/dollar and price won’t load for May 6? https://i.nostr.build/zdj50.jpg
Zap splits in the background. Zap the app.
Heard you making noise about this weeks ago, but never got wind of … did this just happen?
Not that I have time as an unpaid volunteer, at the moment … but I would be a happy camper if I could focus full time on just “social onboarding” and “dev alignment”.
The advocate’s advocate.
Everybody wins.

#note12qm…qvcx
Let me know how I can help…. On any of the above.
Thanks. Good thing they don’t get ‘served to us’, like on twttr ..
didn’t know these accts existed until checking global this morning
Yea. Not a node runner. Non custodial lightning address is hard. Tried to make sense of Zeus. Gave up and settled on Mutiny+, only to discover that fedimint just got borked. Guess I’m still stuck using kyc custodial wallet.
#note1luc…ngwg
So … Thanks but that all doesn’t make much sense to me. I’m too dumb or busy to figure out. I guess I’ll wait.
#note1luc…ngwg
So yea. Back to “initiatives” for dev alignment.
- best practices dev wiki
- regular dev standup calls
- open channels for dev chat
- constant contact and outreach into the growing dev community
So who steps up to do or to fund these efforts? I’m down for the doing part…
I read this post, and did these in order, but this error message persists.
- open wallet in browser
- Join mutiny plus
- join a federation
- request a lightning address
https://blog.mutinywallet.com/federated-lightning-addresses-for-mutiny-users/
I take that back. These initiatives exist in the form of conferences and meetups. But alas, these are few and “underrepresented” by the majority of devs and would be contributors. As I see.
> “a few devs/designers may collaborate together on a Nostr project”
That’s all well and good to say … but is actually very difficult in practice. Many barriers to communication and collaboration exist in a decentralized environment … I might even suggest it’s a given that these are “more” difficult.
And yet … nowhere in the Nostr ecosystem is there an initiative to foster shared vision and directed effort across even a few projects. This is our weakness.
Actually … I missed that. But I would agree. More of these and more loudly, please.
👀 remind me in 5 years what “good enough” alignment means … after all the other “social networks” have figured this out.
But many many unheard voices (and projects) fall through the cracks NOT for lack of skill or passion or desire to collaborate.
Nostr devs have zero alignment because we fall into the weeds of our own “best implementations” without a space or incentives to “come up for air” and discuss shared visions or common pitfalls.
IMHO
The difference is … you can have as many “portable digital identities” as you like, each with their own level of anonymity. The power is freedom of choice. This is how Nostr wins.
Nostr devs have zero alignment.
https://image.nostr.build/26a298ac8f75ab7a80a3b18e9fc68cf02266c1a234663965bd93de4986017315.jpg
#note1czk…kfr7
No. Not “push devs into alignment” but “push efforts for dev alignment”.
Alignment initiatives CAN have dedicated resources. Maybe they SHOULD?
> “because it avoids creating yet another isolated patch of weeds”
Pitching in to existing projects actually brings MORE people into MORE and different and DEEPER weed patches BECAUSE each project has their “own way” to see the “problem” and to implement a “solution”.
Code repos are ALL about implementation. There is ZERO room in a repo to back out and discuss the bigger problem BECAUSE it only ends up in YA issue, pr delegation, forked project, or abandoned #wontfix thread.
ALSO, because these siloed “repo discussions” are all happening on GitHub, then there’s even less opportunity for the rest of Nostr to contribute to maybe keeping them alive and connecting dots for us developers who ARE “in the weeds”.
@npub1m4n…c2jl may be onto something when she pitches bringing these repo convos into Nostr. This may help, but still … we need time and space for dev realignment. Nostr doesn’t have this.
#note1aff…x4hf
> “The main downside is competing visions”
If this is the main downside to your “best of all” AND it’s the biggest challenge (for productivity) in a decentralized dev environment (#amiright ?) then we have solved nothing at all.
How to push dev alignment WITHOUT compromising independence?

Did you read my article? Please do.
Bluesky has gotten behind this “sharing invites” because it grows a better “higher quality” network. Everybody wins, but the network and invested businesses win more. Having Zaps, Nostr can incentivize advocates to share harder and win more. The power of “social onboarding” for everybody to win is obvious. Is it not?
This is how it’s done!!

maybe we can work together for next iteration?

Looks like a pretty intimate “friendship”. Lol. #nostrwierd
I love you bro. And you have efforts in the right place. But I am not one for feeling rejected. My challenge is to focus on the things I can change. Always forward. 🫡
I think invites are more than just a collection nip 51 lists. They will need expiry options and reciept generation and other features specific to “inviting and onboarding”. A lot of us are working in this problem in silos… but we don’t seem to be aligned. Maybe good thing that bluesky has forced the issue…
#note166f…pt45
That’s what @npub1jlr…ynqn said and also @npub1gcx…nj5z … and others.
https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/issues/1062
The problem is … we’re not problem solving together, and each of us get tangled in our own patch of technical weeds.
- what is the actual problem being solved with “invites”?
- who (stakeholders) would benefit, for which solutions design should always be targeted?
- what would (a family of) MVP solutions look like, whereby each of our projects could be aligned in tackling the problem from different angles?
Decentralized is great … but sometimes we just need to get on the same page.
Here’s why:
#note1t96…3eqy
Nostr can do it better, because there’s so much more to share and rewards to incentivize. Literally everybody wins.

Well that there is a generous zap amount! Will be interesting for you to see if you zap less (or more) now 🤔
I keep my standard amount lower, and zap a lot.. and then for posts where I learn alot, make me laughalot or ponder alot, I 10x it or more
That works for me. I just upload directly here in Damus and my content shows up in my nostr.build creator acct
Yup. Nostr can take it even further.
#note1t96…3eqy
Maybe you right… I should pull the white savior card. Lol.
And this is real also…
#note1sdz…lklg
Coracle actually has better invites … yet still not good enough. But hey. Maybe I’m just too picky.
#note1yl3…lat9
Ease of use. Functionality. Aesthetics. And Incentives. Invites have so much potential for Nostr. More work needs to be done.
I’ve summed it all up in one article.
#note1t96…3eqy
But somehow OpenSats doesn’t see the value. So …
You are always ahead of the game @npub1jlr…ynqn. But it’s a bit rough around the edges. Why aren’t we working together?
I’m speechless. Why is Nostr not on top of this already?

Thank you. Not looking forward to the amount of fake news upcoming around all this :/ #note1q3r…20pc
If “dividing is the wrong move”, then this article does a poor job at illustrating how BITCOIN IS NOT DIVIDED, DESPITE THE POLITICS SURROUNDING IT.
For example, these “best interests” and what you “care deeply about” (quoted bellow) are actually shared values across most of Bitcoin culture (as I can tell). Not only do you you fail to lean in on this opportunity, but you imagine yourself as some “Bitcoin outsider”. Why?
> “I think it’s in the best interest to continue educating on bitcoin, advocating for grassroots adoption at the individual/community level, holding politicians accountable when they try to overstep, … and not desperately clinging to politicians’ words on the campaign trail…”
> “As for me, an independent voter, I care deeply about Bitcoin, it’s long-term success, and seeing as many people as possible around the world use and benefit from this revolutionary money and technology.”
Your closing remarks say it all. In fact a LOT of Bitcoin culture (even yourself) ARE on the same page. If dividing is the wrong move, then we should START by showing the world how we are NOT divided. Divisive politics are boring. Bitcoin can be better than this.
> “my hope is that … those on the outside looking in may see that NOT ALL OF US ARE ON THE SAME PAGE, and that Bitcoin is for anyone regardless of your political party or who you plan to vote for come November.”
I’ve asked you many times before, and NOT gotten an answer.
- What exactly is a “progressive bitcoiner”?
- What values are actually so different?
- Why do you feel the need to differentiate?
If your objective is to “attract self identifying progressives to Bitcoin”, I’m not sure that playing to divisive culture tropes is gonna win that battle for you. I honestly think “unity despite politics … cause we have shared values after all” is the more effective message. Especially for “politically homeless progressives”.
But hey. I’m just a nobody.
Yes. Without getting carried away … maybe just a chronological list of posts matching some criteria? Maybe (later on) a sort of dashboard view with numbers and stats could be added above this list. I dunno….
@npub1n0s…lahe
Often when I go to “view” a user’s profile on @npub1n0s…k6h0 client, I am actually wondering “who is this person in relation to me?”.
What posts of mine has this person interacted with or vice versa?
What other posts have we both commented on or liked?
How do I know this person?
Have they zapped me?
Of course, a users profile view wouldn’t have such an “Interactions” tab available … would it?
Yea. Maybe I’ll refactor …
I use dicebear api with rando seeds for each new user.

Bullish on DVMs. Always have been but now I'm building them
@npub1der…xzpc @npub1qny…95gx @npub10pe…n34f is there any way to include more info in a rejection letter, so that the applicant has a clue on how to improve/pivot/reach out to collab with similar projects etc?
I imagine you all may be overwhelmed with the number of requests you get for support. Would it help to have volunteers to help write the rejection letters, and the assessment team can send a few bullet points over for them to explain to the applicant why their particular project didn’t make it?
As you know well, it takes a lot to tirelessly work for free, and then to receive zero ‘reason’ for a rejection is rough, and must make it hard to want to continue, since one doesn’t want to work on something that ‘doesn’t make the cut’ without any idea why.
No details yet.
#note182h…gv0q
As a central hub to which MOST IF NOT ALL would be Nostr developers apply, @npub10pe…n34f honestly has more to offer than just money.
If ONLY their rejection letter included some sort of “improve on this” or “we’d like more of that” or even “so and so is doing something similar … you may be interested”…. It would help us plebs to pivot our efforts and stay engaged. But no.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Dear Applicant,
Thank you for submitting your grant application to OpenSats. We regret to inform you that your project was not selected for funding.
We received a large number of applications and were unable to fund all of the worthy proposals. The applicant pool was very competitive, which is a great thing to see in and of itself. Unfortunately, your application did not make the cut this time around.
Feel free to apply again in the future: https://opensats.org/apply
In the meanwhile, we wish you the best of luck in your fundraising efforts.
Sincerely,
The OpenSats Team
And my PR for NDK (which would be acceptable) has not yet been merged and wasn’t committed before May 1.

I have not reached out directly … but the website has only a limited list of “acceptable” FOSS projects, and mine is not on there. Lol.

Pretty sure the conference gives out tickets to FOSS devs. Have you reached out to them directly?
Sorry to hear. Also really curious why? It seems like an excellent idea to me.
⚠️‼️ Reminder to make sure your passwords are SECURE! ⚡️
A friend recently had his Venmo hacked, and a total of $2,235 was sent out to three accounts.
Very sophisticated attack. He didn’t have money in that account, so it turns out that Venmo covers payments and puts you in the negative.
Until you pay up, your account is restricted and you end up at collections if you don’t pay.
He got a text, (supposedly from Venmo), with a ‘message from a friend’ asking if he had erroneously sent over $700 to a GoFundMe. “If yes, click this link”.
Fortunately, he did not click it and called Venmo. They had him reset his password and ask the three people to send the money back, which will bring his account back to zero.
🔥 Remind your friends and fam to make *secure* passwords and NOT to click random links.
(FYI: The Venmo rep said they would never send texts about any payments sent or received) https://i.nostr.build/3P7QW.jpg https://i.nostr.build/yqzQP.jpg https://i.nostr.build/vG6ll.jpg
Just rejected by @npub10pe…n34f . What’s a broke developer supposed to do? Is Social Onboarding not worth funding? Have I not worked hard enough to get an MVP out the door?
#note1y49…05fu
I am not daunted… but this is a HUGE setback. I now have to shift gears to fundraising “on the side” (and shift to other paying gigs, which I’ve put aside) rather than developing “in earnest” as I have been.
Mani’s gotta eat, but I’d rather work on Nostr.
If you know of ANY Nostr adjacent businesses who might wish to sponsor Nostr’s PREMIER Social Onboarding client … please comment or send me DM. I am actively looking for business sponsors now.

Yes agree (I’ve had one for a while) and also, it takes time to get enough paid accounts to provide sufficient support, so in the meantime a grant provides the needed support.

Tribalism is boring. But it’s just a symptom of the current “realignment”. Left is adopting “purity culture” and right is adopting “liberty culture”. It’s chaos now, where all we have to hold onto is some loose semblance of “with us or against us” as the ruling duopoly swaps ideologies.
Tribalism is a tool for party preservation.
Gosh darn…. Follow for updates.
☝🏼This is exactly what I’m working on… but better. The “walkthrough” is provided by advocates, who invite their friends to Nostr. Customizable invites allows for different welcome screens and recommendations for content and friends.
Coming soon….
#note1y49…05fu
“Social Onboarding” will be the de facto “product requirement” definition for all clients “who onboard”. Personal invitations are the “acceptance criteria” that strengthens webs of trust.
Catering to the needs of advocates who “share Nostr with their friends” is how we move forward to solve for onboarding challenges.
I am developing the reference client and an SDK for others to implement in any client.
#note1y49…05fu
Lots of good points already made!
One thing I would add is that, since there is no algorithm, this is more like real life, where the effort you put in is most important.
When you respond to others, zap quality content, engage in conversation, follow people you like, etc. then you slowly build a great experience.
And how about LibreWolf? #note1dhr…976p

I am writing the 2nd edition of my book and want to give an average IBD time. I guess it’s pretty hard to do tho as both hardware and internet connection play a huge role… I could probably just say 1-10 days and that should cover most scenarios, would you agree?

Either somebody “owns” your data and your digital identity … or you are sovereign with friends. YOU have the choice.
Either you “request” to create accounts and post social content … or you are sovereign with friends. Post to ANY server.
You either have “access” to accounts on multiple platforms … or you are sovereign with friends. Use ANY app.
Nostr is freedom … but with friends.
Adobe 🙄 Looked for a more privacy-oriented PDF editor, but they all had pretty bad reviews and I have taught myself to use this so figured I’d finish this edition with Adobe

And I thought 64GB was a lot…
Yup. Even though VC funding artificially amps Primal’s reach … it’s still true that EVERY user will always have more (and increasingly better) client choices AND that more Primal users means more users across all of Nostr, AND that (regardless of what they’re doing now) primal will follow the trends of Nostr.
We keep building for FREEDOM, and everybody wins.
#note1ygn…dhlx
Nostr doesn’t have a WoT nip. “Trust” is undefined across clients. “follow” does not equal “trust”, but “webs of trust” is all we have to keep out bots and bad actors. So elites get a single talking point that nobody understands and has no canonical reference, yet is “supposed” to fix “everything wrong with nostr”.

This is why Nostr needs PRIVATE and EXPLICIT markers of trust between users.
We’re still working on an implementation standard that respects individual sovereignty.
#note13nd…vy30
Site looks amazing! Have you seen https://timechainindex.com/ by @SaniExp (on twttr, not sure if he’s here)
I’m not entirely clear why primal hasn’t pushed harder on this from DAY ONE… but I suspect it has to do with shifting paradigms.
WoT filtering (done right) requires some infrastructure (as we’ve discussed) and some additional work by the end user (configuring filters) in order to provide satisfactory results. In turn, this requires investors and developers to think differently about what is “important content” for each user … paradigm shifting takes time. That’s my take.
This is why I don’t wear glasses. I’d rather see clearly EVERY human for who they are. Love is love. So what. Not my problem.
I am that dumb, just not that KIND of dumb.
Yes yes. I actually think we’re ALL on the same page. The more I listen. Problem is alignment of effort, not as much of ideals and intention.
Primal is not my chosen client. Yea they hardcode that trending list FOR NOW, but hearing @npub16c0…6nvr and @npub1tvq…krq4 actually discussing the hard parts out loud made me less concerned.
We’re all driving the same direction. How to steer together? That is the challenge.
@npub14uh…ez89 you seen this?
Oh awesome, didn’t know about either of those having LNURL options!

But did you know that they’re NOT even using Nostr?
- NOT posting updates or news to nostr.
- NOT preferring Nostr over Signal for their private COMS channels (Nostr is ready for private groups, and this is a great test case).
- NOT even browsing Nostr for new intel or relevant content (we ARE home base for the freedom movement… are we not?)
They say that Nostr is “too much noise” and “I’m too busy”. Next time you see these rascals… y’all better give ‘em a bit of purple hell.

I think I’ve outlined your 2 and 3 in this short summary article.
#note1437…ftp5
This☝🏼… but how?
How exactly does Nostr (by implementations and by NIP standards) give users “full optionability”?
What would Sovereign WoT look like?
I can think of two foundational elements:
1. Explicit and private markers of trust between users.
2 Subscribable filters (that anyone can publish) for use across clients.
#note1437…ftp5
How is WoT not binary? Sounds like an implementation not a standard. WoT COULD be binary? Nostr hasn’t defined a standard. What are you using for “trust”? Is it implied or explicit?
Gn dear nostriches https://i.nostr.build/nWVQd.jpg

I would love to use it for an article I am writing
In the v0.1.0 source code Hal Finney sent to mrb on bitcointalk (@zorinaq on twttr), Satoshi
does reference the timechain.
Also numerous references to the timechain in pre-release notes (supposedly from Satoshi sent to ppl who requested them in Nov 2008) posted by Cryddit on bitcointalk, but since I can’t verify those I won’t post them here yet. https://i.nostr.build/oMOAv.jpg https://i.nostr.build/zdJ93.jpg

I don’t have hate specifically for tesla, but rather for the idea of potentially being remotely hacked while driving my car, and also being surveilled in my car… both of which I assume are an issue with any electric car.

> “Open ended / agenda less meetings may not be useful for most devs. However, if we host a topical nest … and we record it this could be a bit more useful.” @npub1zaf…26k5
I kinda disagree. Yea, we don’t wanna waste anybody’s time with an agenda-less formal meeting … but having a predetermined topic and a reserved “stage” just isn’t conducive for new devs or new ideas to surface and be known.
Devs need a space (time and place) for discussion, but informality itself is an important variable to leverage.
For this case, an open ended “dev beer thirty” might also be valuable.
Yes. A hashtag #devchat for anybody to post a question to at anytime might actually be useful.
I have brought this up before. But I have no reach… The need for devs to be connected is real. More than just “shop talk” and “pain points” (and even alignment opportunities) for current projects … developers are human beings as well. We need to “hang out” and get to know each other. New faces and new ideas will benefit from more than just kind 1 chats and git issues threads.
So yea … I’m down to co-host.
https://nostrcheck.me/media/e8ed3798c6ffebffa08501ac39e271662bfd160f688f94c45d692d8767dd345a/711ac3261d9ce774775b7b78a4b8faee0ec7d0376ab1ee76f54549eeab73e646.webp

- should have aspect ratio of (like) 2x width x 1x height
- should feature a purple ostrich or have a purple color scheme.
- could have some text like “Nostr” or some cool quote or a hashtag or something.
- pro tip : allow for cropping and alternate displays by keeping “crucial” content in the center of banner.

#note1m3z…m7qd
I love this! But Nostr will need more than just a larger user base to provide reliable Web of Trust verification. We’re gonna need better WoT tools.
Specifically, Nostr users have no means to explicitly “mark” another npub as “trusted”. Web of Trust currently depends on arbitrary algos (different for every client) to “imply” or “derive” that one user trusts another.
Follow does not equal Trust.
Nostr needs a WoT standard.

Thanks... it's actually the other form of maintaining...
The ‘industry’ part of this yes, but my prediction is that the philanthropy and aid part will increase dramatically..
the huge difference is it will be more locally oriented and from individuals, who can finally actually plan for their financial future and *know* how much they have to give to others in real need and not be eternally confused and in fear for their future.

It’s called Nostr. It ain’t gonna be pretty, but it will be well used and well loved.
Many “gems” are hidden, unknown before they are “discovered”. This is not a case of being “undiscovered gems”, more a case of being “rough and unready” gem potentials, often grown in and fed by some “organic” soup of random chance that “just works” for the passionate few who enjoy it. “Discovery” happens despite this chaos and messiness that (only after the fact) comes off as “unique character”.
“Organically growing”, rather than designing, a transparent user experience requires a decentralized ecosystem of active development and use. Even this guarantees nothing, but this is what Nostr has in spades.
Don’t think too hard…

This electric trike of mine is also a city slicker. The base is narrow and there is a pivot in the middle of the frame. This allows the front half to tilt like a two wheeler, while keeping the both rear wheels glued to the ground. Double the traction. Add a rainbow pony for good measure, and it’s a real urban cowboy ride!

To really make it better, you should add copy buttons for copying all three values like "25, 188, 255" or copying just one value

Ok I just realized I have Private browsing set as my default so my Alby Extension wasn’t working. I had to give it permission to run in private windows.. now I can sign in with that.
Still wonder if there is a way to zap from Mutiny on zap.stream tho?
Nip-26 “Delegated Event Signing” seems to be the closest way to implement such a feature. @npub180c…h6w6 had something to say a while back about this NIP having the potential to force its usage onto all of Nostr, but I cannot find the article. As a result, however, delegated event signing (using this nip) has fallen out of vogue. I do believe nos2x still implements it? Not sure what other signers or clients also do …
Here’s the spec:

There’s this guy I had seen around town over the years but never spoke. He knew I was into Bitcoin and I knew he was into environmental activism.
We happened to run into each other and got to chatting. He seemed like a honest thinker and good conversationalist. He’s a biologist and I’m an engineer. We’re both thinking about systems, albeit from opposite ends.
Eventually we got into the Bitcoin topic. Specifically, its energy use. I mentioned how some companies are using the economics of mining to bring electricity to villages in Africa where it was not economically feasible before. I also mentioned that our civilization requires abundant energy for it to continue advancing technologically & socially.
He said he believed there were too many people on the planet and energy abundance would exacerbate this problem. I retorted with my firm belief that every person on Earth deserves access to energy. Anything less is a “fuck you, I got mines” attitude.
I don’t think anyone had said that to him before. He seemed shocked. And it seemed like he knew the argument was valid.
I hope he will rethink some of this before we run into each other again. Looking forward to another conversation with him.
Remember everyone, the best way to refine our position and beliefs is to have honest and open conversations with people we disagree with. No need to get angry, use it as an opportunity.
We ended our conversation with a smile and a handshake.

SOCIAL ONBOARDING WILL HELP NOSTR ADVOCATES TO SUPPORT EACH OTHER.
Yea but … the right of “capital punishment” assumes a state monopoly on violence … does it not?
@npub18jv…qqu3 I’ve applied for an OpenSats grant to fund my onboarding client. If they grant this, our client will have a space to highlight content creators like your self (of AMAZING Nostr tutorials) and to “share” your creative content with new friends.
Social Onboarding will ROCK Nostr.
I am making a “social onboarding” client because “friends inviting friends” to Nostr will NOT ONLY strengthen our webs of trust but IS ALSO pretty straightforward to incentivize and measure for success.
nostrmeet.me
This is a model that future onboarding clients can adopt AND possibly a service which Nostr adjacent businesses might benefit from sponsoring. I’m counting on OpenSats to see this vision with me and get us over the “hurdle” of first target release.
I applied 5 weeks ago…. and am pumped for a summer full of hard work. LFG
Right. There is a way to accomplish filtering on relays and clients WITHOUT assuming the “legal” role of a publisher. This is the backdrop of the conversation above.
As long as it works for you … but TBH are you SURE that your client isn’t filtering behind the scenes for you?

“Cowering” is to not pursue a “decentralized content filter” architecture (that would keep Nostr “trusted users” buffered from the onslaught of bots and bad actors that are sure to come) simply because the current paradigm of “content moderation” is centralized (run in black boxes by a handful of companies) and prone to being manipulated by govt.
> “Perfecting truly decentralized content filtering (where users choose, design, and share their own filters across clients) is Nostr’s game to loose. If we don’t develop these tools today, then tomorrow it may be too late. We need to EMBRACE the fact that nobody notices us yet, rather than LOCK DOWN and prepare for the worst.”
Right. So we’re not “there” yet. Nostr “elites” are not being persecuted ATM.
This is not a case of “once we have our persecuted then people will see that we are being persecuted”. We are NOT being persecuted ATM, and we should take advantage of this by “redefining” and “growing” the tools for decentralization.
To cower for the sake of being persecuted is to forget the entire reason of existence.
Why does Nostr exist? What can Nostr accomplish?

@npub1s27…dsym your points are insightful, but pretty entrenched in a deep dystopia. On the whole, our societies are not “there” yet. Whether we “will be” or not and “what to do if” are all fine questions… but these have little to do with “what we build today”.
My point is: unknown number of causal paths may lead to dystopia. If we keep “narrowing down” what Nostr is for the sake of avoiding these possible futures, then Nostr will be nothing.
Dumb relays have limited usefulness. And what’s to stop dystopian govt from coming after clients also? So clients have to be dumb? No “content filters” for anyone?
This is just counter productive. If Nostr is gonna grow AT ALL to a scale where Govt cares, then so will bots and bad actors polluting the network with shit content. Without ability for relays AND clients to provide content filtering (and yes… based on “trusted” user feedback mechanisms like follow, mute, trust, report, ect…) then Nostr itself will fail.
Content filtering is NOT some legacy practice of “centralized” walled garden socials. It is an essential tool for maintaining network health and vitality.
Perfecting truly decentralized content filtering (where users choose, design, and share their own filters across clients) is Nostr’s game to loose. If we don’t develop these tools today, then tomorrow it may be too late. We need to EMBRACE the fact that nobody notices us yet, rather than LOCK DOWN and prepare for the worst.

55 seconds end to end.
https://m.primal.net/IeWI.mp4
Definitely something to be aware of…
What is a “progressive” bitcoiner?
I like this idea of “verified local key encryption”. Though this may be difficult to verify, having NIP49 implementation baked into a library will like NDK (so client code doesn’t NEED to handle the nsec at all) will be a good start.
https://github.com/nostr-dev-kit/ndk/issues/216
“Social Onboarding” clients will fix the “first trusted app” problem. Simply by “inviting” their friends (from a client equipped in this way) to create profiles and “follow them”, Nostr advocates are implicitly “trusting” this client to faithfully present their (client and user and content) recommendations to the new users.
In this way, any client that supports “Social Onboarding” (a web client with “invites” accessible via a shared link that creates a profile which “follows” and presents recommendations from the inviter) in a single “unbroken and trusted flow”, can act in this way as “first trusted client”.
What @npub1gcx…nj5z and @npub158q…4xtl said
So … what makes a ”report” on Nostr worse than a public “mute list”?
Got mine 😂 https://i.nostr.build/J6a47.jpg
Gm https://i.nostr.build/Enx8k.jpg
Yes. But reporting is still not censorship. It’s a fine balance, that we still (for now) are holding on the side of freedom. The better we build (and challenge) our tools while Nostr is young, the longer we can fend off centralizing forces. IMHO
Indeed. Despite well intended “protocols” for preserving individual sovereignty, we humans have a strong tendency to centralize power. It’s more efficient, and easier to promise security.
Not if but when. Only time will tell how centralization creeps into nostr.
Reporting is not censorship, without power imbalance.
But a simple protocol will never account for the fact that human societies trend toward power imbalance. Give it time and even Nostr will feel pressure from centralizing forces.
You draw this? It’s really creative and well done!
How is it in the original warrior's tongue?
Sure, why not, if people are able to send nostr events over meshtastic... not that different technology-wise
Well done! Must feel really good 😊

I guess we’re in agreement then.
Here’s the offending article.
https://www.businessinsider.com/jack-dorsey-fiatjaf-nostr-donation-2024-6
The “cancel culture” mentality (outing “extremism” as if “nothing good could ever come of it”) is apparent in the tone of the article’s opening lines:
>”In his quest to support alternative social-media platforms, Twitter's cofounder Jack Dorsey unwittingly funded a developer who's a follower of a Brazilian fascist, according to archived webpages and business records.”
> “The funding, which supported the development of the decentralized social-media protocol Nostr, comes as Silicon Valley's rightward political drift has become more apparent and as some in tech's elite push back against what they perceive as overreach in censorship and diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives.”
Read between the lines, it says:
“Dorsey is cute and (cross fingers?) not all THAT bad (unlike Elon XXX) but the poor fella has been misled by “silicon valley’s rightward political drift”, who in turn have been manipulated by THOSE right wing cult extremists who are now popping up in Brazil!! BTW anti-censorship is NOW a dog whistle for hate and non-inclusion. So they MUST be up to no good, and what they’re making (together) should NOT be trusted.”

Kathrine Long did NOT violate anybody’s privacy. She dug around and found shit, and decided to post publicly what she found. Rude, yes. But also… bound to happen.
“Banning” her on Xiter has nothing to do with Nostr. If she was on Nostr, I would expect thousands of Nostriches would personally “mute” or “block” or “report” or otherwise push her account out from their (own) webs of trust. Reporting on Xiter is simply the way that was done today (cause the OP is not accessible on our network).
All in all, I do think the hype around this is a bit misguided in Nostr, but also… no biggie either.
I saw your photos. Lovely place.
Did you autotune that chorus, or is this a recording of them singing?
I knew you’d like. ♥️ Utah.
> “If [Xiter bans] Katherine Long's post [due to reports from Nostr users], is Nostr a success or a failure?”
Doxxing is not a crime, and private keys do not get “stolen”. Both are irreversible (and eventually inevitable) consequences of “secrets that must be kept”.
The crime, in this case, is cancel culture asserting that “extremists” are incapable of contributing to the freedom of all humankind.
It matters NOT who fiatjaf is or what [his] hobbies and beliefs are. THIS is the message that (so far) Nostr PR has failed to get in front of.

Dude. I just got my new laptop and haven’t “copied by hand” my nsec to use in browser extension … now you make me.
I seriously just found that…. And have it on my “shortlist” todo once MVP is pushed. (Or this weekend … lol)
> “I'm very curious to understand how nostrmeet.me could produce revenue.”
Me too. Lol.
At the moment I’ve got : “be recognized as a sponsor of the tools that bring more trusted users to Nostr.”
But I’m sure there’s room to consider : “expose your brand to passionate Nostr advocates (directly with product samples and coupon codes AND indirectly through app sponsorships) who will share its awesomeness through ‘word of mouth’ to the friends that they onboard”
But affiliate marketing needs to be baby stepped.
Congrats. 💜 Love to pick your brain on fundraising strategies.
The only thing stopping me from seeking “not low fruit” funding is time … where to I put my effort today?
Right now, my onboarding client is not MVP complete. That means… what’s released does work but is not “useful”. MVP comes when “new profile creation lands in a DM chat with the ‘advocate’ who invited.”
Once MVP complete, the value proposition for “social onboarding” will be more obvious and I can (hopefully) more easily attract “nostr adjacent business” sponsors.
My pitch is that “everybody wins when nostr is shared with friends”. I’m optimistic that there do exist actual businesses lurking in the Nostr sidelines waiting for “the right time” and “the right projects” to sponsor.
It won’t be easy, and I am no salesman, and this path will take some time, but this is ultimately how “social onboarding” will help carry Nostr through the “rocky times” of developing global “network effect”, without “central moderation” to keep out bots and bad actors.
So before taking THAT plunge … I see if @npub10pe…n34f (or some other Nostr fund?) will support early development beyond MVP, so I can get closer to v1 “target release” and demonstrate real world “it’s being used and more trusted people are joining nostr” results that businesses sponsors will want to see.

Well … at least we’re making friends on Nostr. 💜
I mean YOUR peeps. You seem very selective. It’s a shame to me to see people craving for the company of others, yet requiring such specificity that they end up still wanting. Are you building your community?
So … at what point do you start BUILDING your community? Seems you’ll be searching for a while.
You have a lot of great follows. But I didn’t see @npub13kw…wg2a in there.
Do you have a list or a way to curate different feeds? Plenty of these posters in my feed.
The only private property is that which one controls. Everything else is “protected” by a state. So no … I see no “borders” here.

It’s called dogfood. Makes for a stronger protocol if it’s developed while being used. As we iron out the wrinkles, more diversity of interests will come.
Borders are what states make.
“People boxes” are for tax collecting, war making, and virtue signaling. I will never identify within a box, nor ask anybody else to.

It doesn’t work on safari iOS … doesn’t use existing Nip05 addresses … and the onboarding flow is definitely “obscure”.
I had to write my own local key encryption and storage, implementing Nip49, cause nostr-login just won’t work for my onboarding client.

But better. For dirt and for meeting people…. And for pubs too!
I’ve been working (almost) full time on Nostr, unpaid since April. No complaints.
I have no savings (not even BTC) except “birthday money”, which my wife is using to pay my share of the bills this month.
My laptop broke (unrepairable) during this time, and I got an “advance” from a previous client on a “future” project so that I could purchase a replacement.
I am pushing code this week to get my client MVP complete. By that time, I hope that @npub10pe…n34f will have decided on my application. If they decline, I will pause development to start looking for Nostr sponsors. If they accept, then development will proceed full speed, and I may even be able to hire some help.
Wish me luck.

Smaller countries in proximity to each other, sharing a rather deep alliance, SHOULD care more about “other countries” than would a single bigger country with few shared borders and a “penchant” for individualism.

Two simple facts about Nostr …
1. It’s an open protocol for an open network upon which ANYONE CAN BUILD ANY APP USING ANY VERSION OF THE PROTOCOL.
2. Typical “user authentication” is replaced by a more decentralized “event signing” architecture, in which ONCE AN EVENT IS PUBLISHED IT CAN NEVER BE UPDATED.
… simply means that OLD apps will “naturally” age out unless updated, and developers of CURRENT apps will ALWAYS have to support deprecated protocol layers.

There are many creators of excellent “onboarding content” that have zero dev skills for building websites or clients.
“Social Onboarding” will provide a platform for “non techie” creators to use their OWN content (in customizable invites and wizards) to onboard new people to their OWN corner of the Nostr network.

To your point … I’d like my onboarding client to double as a signer … but without key custody…. In the future.
This is how I see onboarding best practice…. Now all we need is funding to move fwd… 🤷🏻♂️
buuuuut … Encrypting nsec for private (everyday) use should still be best practice.
So … right now, I see the best “normie” onboarding experience is to simply encrypt and store (not share) their new nsec “in the cloud”. Let their “web of trust” do the key education. Here’s how:
- incentivize “nostr advocates” to invite their friends.
- ask for U&P (only) upon invite.
- create Nip05 with username.
- encrypt nsec with password.
- allow for logging in ( anytime to the onboarding client) with U&P and pasting OUT encrypted nsec for use in other clients.
- encourage advocates themselves to educate their new friends about key management, recomended clients, quality content and follows, and other Nostr pro tips all from WITHIN the onboarding app.
Tell me there’s a better way for onboarding today…
Anybody else?
nostrmeet.me is a client for “sharing Nostr with friends”. Plenty of opportunity for Nostr adjacent businesses to gain exposure as project sponsors. DM to inquire.

I’m not sure why “remembering” one’s private key would even be a UX goal? If the problem is secure storage and transfer, why not just solve for that?
Your design requires users to remember an emoji-grid-line thingy AND a password. A simpler “encrypt the nsec” solution only requires a single password to remember.
The NIP49 (ncryptsec) encryption standard for nsec allows for private keys to be copied and and pasted, stored locally, and yes even stored “non-custodial” in the cloud, WITHOUT having to remember anything more than a password.
https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/49.md
I’ve already implemented this in an onboarding flow for “normies” that generates and stores encrypted keys (and Nip05), simply by entering a username and password. How is this NOT a simpler solution? (Honest question)

At what point in the spectrum of rebellion is violence justified as “overthrowing”?
I mean … thugs in the street “could” claim the right to govern their block and collect their own “taxes”.

Would they be more legit if they had a manifesto?
I have no beef with 2A, and whole heartedly believe the above meme is a better representation of it than many I see … but unpacking “who gets to revolt and what is tyrany” gets a bit sticky.
Yea. Pretty simple. Ideas are not property. Kinsella is a good listen.

The only reason I’m not joining you in Prague (to show off my new “social onboarding” client) is the money.
Months ago, this project took a “wrong turn”, when I discovered nostr.login wouldn’t work for key generation. As a Nostr noob, I came up with a custom “non custodial” key management and login routine for new users (because it’s THAT important for friction free onboarding) but at the expense of being weeks off my target release date. All this time, I’ve been scrounging pennies (and a few side projects) to make ends meet while I push toward “mvp” release.
I don’t have a bunch of Bitcoin or savings to back me up. I don’t have a “regular” job, and have (maybe wrongly) put most of my available freelance hours into this project, thinking that I’d be able to “talk it up” over Nostr, and get more sponsorships “along the way”.
This strategy has yielded nothing.
The funny thing is … maybe I should have used 1/4 of my 10k January sponsorship to join you in Parauge, cause I DO know how important it is to show face. And talking up my app “in person” wd be clutch.
But I did not… (like I also did not singn up for soveng) and Im not sure I really could not have afforded to … but maybe if I had skimped and saved differently….
Point is … I STILL don’t “know” anyone in Nostr and Bitcoin in order to have these “fund raising” conversations about the importance of “social onboarding”.
I have proof of work (in this latest release ☝🏼) and am ready to build it out further, but I need $$ to do so. How can I get this message heard? Who should I talk to about sponsorship?
Like this ?

nostrmeet.me needs a sponsor.
Please step up and make some noise for “Social Onboarding”.
“Friends inviting friends” is Nostr’s super power. As Nostr grows, strong webs of trust will keep bots and bad actors at bay. I am developing tools to harness this super power, and improve webs of trust, but I need funding to continue.
I am a seasoned web developer with a passion for Nostr. In January, I secured a single sponsor to fund 1.5 months of work on this project. Working full time and solo since then, I’ve stretched this funding as far as possible. My family needs me to “bring it in”. Without additional sponsors to keep me on this project, I will have to move on.
As a Nostr nobody and a Bitcoin noob, I STILL don’t know the “right” people. I am gonna need YOUR help to get the word out to “Nostr adjacent businesses” that might want to sponsor an onboarding client.
If you value friends on Nostr, please forward this message to yours. Please @ mention someone specific if you think they might be interested. Do me a solid and send a DM to that special someone.
This project needs a new sponsor.

It is a “social onboarding” client. First of its kind. Any Nostr user can generates
a “default” invite by appending Nip05 or npub after url. Each invited friend gets a Nip05 address, an encrypted nsec stored on the app,, and the inviting npub as “first follow” upon saving their profile. Here’s the latest release notes.

Yup. Not a video … but even better.
nostrmeet.me is an app for sharing Nostr with friends. With custom QR invites, you can embed ANY message (or a note from Nostr) into an invite screen that gets YOUR friend following you with a new npub and user profile, with recommended follows and relays chosen by YOU, and direct messaging with you from the moment they click “join”.
It’s in development ATM. The MVP is expected in a couple weeks, and will create profiles from invite links, and land new users in dM thread with you.
I am working HARD to move this project forward asap, and appreciate you taking a look and sharing feedback.

Thanks. While this article is rough and lacking many specifics… what it does propose is that a single NIP could be designed for clients and relays to structure their own “content types”, without needing additional NIPs and “kinds” to be explicitly defined in the “centralized” repository. It’s not perfect, or even near a complete spec, but it does aim to “increase” the flexibility and freedom for developers. (ICYMI)
Hopefully Discord-killer...
Imagine having a local “offline searchable” backup of ALL the content you post to Nostr, from ANY client… keep an eye on this space!
#note1gpl…2zrj
Maybe you mistake tireless optimism for being unaware of challenges ahead. I am of the former.
There is a sense of pride and ownership that is unique to decentralized environments, where anybody can put in the work to improve their own piece of the network. Nostr harnesses this, and everybody wins.
Love the idea, but all I see is 🍑😆🤣
Well good morning! 💜 https://i.nostr.build/M5K74.jpg
Just so you know … we’re actually on the same page here. WoT on Nostr can and should be sovereign. Only we can make it so. I’ll keep you posted.
Local LLMs could be considered in the NIP design, but the NIP itself shouldn’t care (or specify) HOW or WHERE a “WoT Filter” algo should be run. A free market of choices for publishing and subscribing to “WoT filters” is how sovereignty wins.
(A “WoT Filter” could be anything that processes Nostr data to determine “trust rank” or “recommendations” for users or content.)
Dude. You have awesome feedback. And now I have even more questions… so no … you don’t get to just “drop a comment and go”.
- first … actually nostr already has a lot of public data for anyone (relays admins) to use in developing algos and such.
- encrypted events are becoming a thing in Nostr. These “gift wrapped” events are mostly opaque to relay operators, which will complicate everything related to server side data processing.
- Client side data processing of encrypted events will still be possible … and Nostr SHOULD have NIP in place for “privacy agreement” or something that keeps clients transparent and honest (like a checkbox “allow client side only processing of private DMs to improve WoT score…”)
- given all this… private “is trusted” events will be the first challenge to design an implementation standard for. Yes. These will need to be encrypted (who is trusting who) AND available for server side processing (who’s in my trust network) … I’m “confident” this is doable.
So yea… let’s be clear and lay solid groundwork to let WoT on Nostr be sovereign by design.
Fun #Latin fact: "plebs" is actually singular, "plebes" is the plural 😃
#plebchain
Did you read the article?
I refuse to “push” my own great ideas directly to a NIP, without refining them (or obliterating them altogether) with feedback from other interested parties. I am just a conversation starter. So I’m not entirely sure what the end “specification” will be… except for “Sovereign Webs of Trust”.
Anyway… me anything. I’m happy to hear concerns or ideas.
This is why I want you to work with us on making bombproof Sovereign WoT for Nostr. I am gonna host another panel discussion on this topic. Will you join us?
#note1kvh…m273
Yes. Our drive to be “social” is both the strength and weakness of human nature.
This is why we persist with WoT.
Leveraging the power of humans “trusting” other humans, while protecting the vulnerability that this “trust” exposes, is the ideal position for WoT on Nostr. This balance is not guaranteed, and will be hard work to maintain. However, even the worst outcome, given that Nostr remains a decentralizing force, will simply be that Nostr usage fizzles out for lack of “trustworthy” content.
So yea. That’s my optimistic take. WoT is the best tool we have for “moderation” AND for “recommendation” of notes and other stuff. And Nostr is ready (while we’re young and stupid) to give it a good try.
This nostrich needs more followers -- do your magic 😃

I missed my calling to be a professional pressure washer. Maybe there is still time. It's so satisfying.
Thanks, will try working things out with the dev
It’s a one way hash. Verifying an event involves taking the entire event json (minus signature and id) as received and running it through the hashing algo with the npub. If the output hash is the same as event id, then these are run through another algo to match with the signature.

Fact is, I dont “clear out” these prev name notices. I leave them in place as a reminder. Just saying.
Also it seems stuck on showing "update available" even after updating (updated by direct APK download)
#nevent1q…z75f
This is an AWESOME feature of Nostur. But the prev pic dot is too small to be visually useful. Nice if it could be “tapped” to expand. … also might be nice to have prev name saved (kind0 petname?)

Event “kinds” are not gonna get us there. Nostr needs an open architecture (rather than a central NIP repo) for apps to implement and share their own “other stuff” content types.

Let’s do another panel discussion … with different ideas. See what happens?
#note1kvh…m273
Yea. Nostr has no “accounts” and no “logging in” … and EVEN IF the paradigm shift is inevitable (big if), low friction onboarding TODAY requires language that people are used to.
Which one is the “publishing” key?
npub or nsec … right?
I agree. IDs and Keys.
npub = Nostr Public ID
nsec = Nostr Secret Key
Today I learned about CBOR, neat

My inner libertarian is honest with what “freedom” means and firmly rooted in my own ability to take care of “personal” needs. It’s called respect.
nostrmeet.me will allow for “anonymous” invites, providing advocates a means to onboard locals that they know “personally” into their own web of trust (“my” recommended nostr content, accounts, and apps vs “global on your own” nostr) without revealing their connection to the “new account” on Nostr.
Hmm… how to improve? How to get more ppl submitting recommendations?

I’m generally lukewarm on ACLU … these days they are more of a partisan propaganda machine than anything else.
But this… is on point :
> "When we look at the conduct the legislators point to in support of the bill — trespass, assault on law enforcement, and damage to public property — we know that those things are already illegal. Since that is the case, what is this bill really about?" the statement said, adding that it is "about suppressing dissent."
Ideas are not property.

Coupled with explicit and private “is trusted” events (which Nostr doesn’t have yet) ... measuring daily activity across the protocol becomes more reflective of Nostr’s “social value”, rather than just a measure of “addiction”.
How many “active” users who are “trusted” by other users?
#note1jk2…355r
Only wallet holders … right?
Re: primal trending…. and free market of algos … NIP for publishing and subscribing to content filters? … count me in.
I had no idea there was drama here.
I mean, besides THAT of course.
Wait … what are we measuring? “Active users” on the protocol or per app “vendor”?
Being “hooked” on the former (decentralized protocol with no owner) is not quite as “insidious” as the latter. Maybe?
And while vendors MAY measure “active users” on their own “platform”, the nature of the open protocol kind of makes it a moot point.
Vendors are welcome to compete for addictiveness… right?
Is still an addiction measurement…

Akshually … filters on relays is not only better for bandwidth and for “dumb” phones, but also opens the marketplace for end users to “subscribe” to and share the best filters, across clients.

This specifically solves the use case where I DONT want to “continue using my npub”. So … sorry … I’m still not understand your problem.
How does “this NiP breaks that”, when preventing anyone to “continue to use my npub” is exactly the point of this NIP?
What do you mean “after I revoke access from a client”? … I mean … of course burn npub is a long lasting effect … but you don’t like it because … it’s an event you send from a client? … Or is there some other “revoke access” that is happening and burn npub seems redundant to you? … sorry.

To guys point… the difference is simply choice.
As long as users are free to choose their algos on Nostr, across any client (which will require a NIP standard that Nostr does NOT currently have), Nostr users will always be in control of their content feed.
Freedom of choice makes all the difference.
