this is a bug, for now you can go to the post detail by tapping somewhere around the quote and then tapping on the link works
Well done @npub1xdt…ntxy and @npub1r0r…q9ac !
Will it eventually be possible to pin or highlight specific posts?

unified balance where my money is saved on relays
this is a "nostr balance" that will follow me around on any nostr app
and I just zapped @npub1vwy…zugd without having to connect nostr-wallet-connect
it just works, no QR codes, no secrets, nothing... your nsec gives you access to your money

how do you do this? i cant click the link tho 🤔
Started a new branch, sometimes solutions just keep floating in my head and I then have to work on it now even when I have other unfinished branches...

might be related to too many relays, you could try to reduce relays to maybe 5 receiving relays and disable Enhanced Relay Routing if enabled to see if that makes a difference
I think I started using the app a couple builds back , not really sure but I had not seen it before , let me go back a couple builds. I have 24000 events and 3000 contacts
I don’t want to manually approve every like, zap, post.. or is that possible to automate with push?
I will probably try it. Only downside may be that you have to keep the app active on the phone or it won’t sign. Or maybe thats a positive as a kind of 2FA
in previous versions it was fine? or did you first start with 293?
how many events/contacts do you have in the database? you can see this at the bottom in Settings
Hey @npub1n0s…lahe my iphone runs extremely hot when using 1.15.0 (293) , it seems also it doesn’t want to load certain posts when this happens.
On Mac yes, on iPad sometimes when its on my desk as an extra screen
Are you using with mouse and keyboard?
Hey @npub1n0s…lahe - just noticed a bug where you search for someone and after you click their profile you get brought back to the search bar b/c the keyboard autocorrects your text

Learn more on our Nostr-based blog: https://blog.npub.pro/post/npub-pro-is-live
P.S. If you like how it looks, that's because @npub1r0r…q9ac designed it. Thanks man, it's a pleasure to work with you!
Thank you. On desktop too (macOS), which has the same interface as iPad now, I use iPad/Mac more than on the phone, it will get even better when I have Nostur Pro ready.
First time it ever occurred to me to try Nostur on iPad.
This was a very nice surprise for a very slow cat. Well done Fabian.

@npub1n0s…lahe @npub1jlr…ynqn Mobile clients like Nostur as Nostr signers (implementing Oauth like behavior) for the other stuff and web clients and is a beautiful idea. 🔥
I was on @npub1mlc…8jpa with @npub1jlr…ynqn:
https://www.fountain.fm/episode/y5pGdEG67XWYYL7tCVDg
I wrote the basic idea/plan at top of this file:
https://github.com/nostur-com/nostur-ios-public/blob/main/Nostur/Nostr/WebOfTrust.swift
It's a bit outdated but still an ok description although not detailed, I could probably write something better.
Anything specific you want to know?
need to clone myself first
no but should be easy to add that
I saw that and didn’t want to steal it, but if your ok I will call it autopilot also
It has to do with preventing to lose your follows. If you created the new keypair somewhere else Nostur will try to fetch your follow list first before enabling the follow button.
If there is no existing follow list or a problem with fetching it, it will stay disabled, follow lists are still tricky on nostr unfortunately.
If it supports NIP-96 but not sure if it does

I think the issue may be that your blog is in a subdirectory. Clients try to find the media server configuration on your main domain and fail to find it.

lopps solution works because spammers dont care about his blog specifically. When Google replaces their (re)captchas with PoW it will fail within a week.
This one also
#note1rap…cunx
I just posted an explanation why it doesn’t….
I'm not convinced PoW adds anything useful to nostr, but I guess there is no harm if I add it and hope someone finds something useful to do with it.
Some thoughts I had about it a while ago:
#note1g6t…mxz7
Thanks for trying Nostur out Derek, would love to hear what you are missing most (yourself) and also what you think is missing that keeps new people from returning to nostr (not just Nostur).
btw there is a GIF button on the toolbar :)

WoT (not World of Tanks) challenges:
- Discovery: New accounts need a way to get discovered
- Infiltrators: Undetected fake accounts, slowly working their way into people's WoT, building reputation and earning trust, to ultimately make a single move that would destroy their reputation, expensive for them to repeat, but the damage would have already been done

no but I could look into adding it, what would you use it for?
https://media.utxo.nl/wp-content/uploads/nostr/9/9/9942b41d293247e6f7f5949e8017d7ad0bee679939f5612354576820879b7aa7.webp
When computing your Web of Trust all follow lists of the people you follow are combined, but someone who follows 100 likely follows less spam accounts than someone who follows 1.000, same for 1.000 vs 10.000. This setting tries to take advantage of that signal. It's not perfect but good enough.
Dunbar refers to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunbar%27s_number I didn't know what else to call it.
Nostur is using the Apple provided player yes so probably some other issue
All good. Btw all your quote posts should be loading in Nostur because it does follow nevent relay hints but I noticed for some reason they weren't loading half of the time, just fixed a bug related to that.
If by implementing nostr correctly you mean the outbox model then yes Nostur does not have it yet, I'm working on it and have it half working in a test version but not good enough yet for release. Not sure where you got that impression, I only added a wizard for properly configuring kind 10002 relays so we can at least fix that first or the whole thing won't work:
#note1p9z…42qp
Right now it will always try to load recent posts, if you open Nostur often you won’t miss any posts but if you open it after a longer time there might be a gap that isn’t fetched so that’s why its probably often around 40. I could probably increase the time window a bit if you think you are missing too many posts, but might slow down loading a bit.
I will have a solution for this eventually, its been on my list of things I want for a while, maybe AI based summaries is something to try.
#note1kl2…qd6a
it stays until you tap the 🅧 next to it
I like this one also 👍 I’m starting to lean towards either totally different or something with original tribute, so Nostury or Nosturix, the Matrix is also my favorite movie of all time…
#note1cvu…ctzs
I’ve seen Blossom mentioned a few times but haven’t looked into it yet. I’ll need to check how its different or better than NIP-96 file storage
that or .org is nice too, or maybe some other if it really makes sense so not .dentist or .shop….
It is logging in with NIP-98. NIP-97 just defines the flow between the website or service and another app that has your key.
There is also a proposal for NIP-97 by @npub1226…grkj which uses NIP-98 https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/1042
I added support for this in Nostur but there are no websites or services that support his yet.
#note1wau…leq2
Should be easy to show the notification, but tapping on it and then auto switching to a different account might be a bit tricky given how things are being loaded right now. I’ll look into this.
yes that unexpected, noted 👍
It’s not that. When just reading and writing the name is good, but as soon as you have to talk verbally about Nostur and nostr the problem becomes clear.
Thinking about it more I probably can’t go with Notestur, I like how its pronounced and the stur part, but I have been pretty stubborn in calling posts posts and not notes, I want to keep it that way but then the name Notestur doesn’t make sense.
Talking (verbally) about Nostur and nostr leads to confusion
Many good suggestions :)
I like Nostury from @npub1d7h…k463 and Notestur from @npub1lrn…qnw5 so far.
A few other good ones too but one thing that was mentioned in the podcast is that I would prefer it if the domain name wasn’t already taken.

yes the old name disappears, thats why this feature exists.
Yes that’s also how I use it.
nostr protocol allows anyone to change their name and profile picture at any time.
Nostur will show previous name and profile pic if available

Technically it would be Ignore Sarah's followers follows from my WoT but that sounds confusing.
If I follow Jim, John and Smaciu it would ignore the red part of Smaciu's follow list in this example, assuming Sarah is only in the red part and not also in Jim or Johns list.

I think I will add a "Mark as fake account" that will prevent the follow list of anyone following this account from entering your WoT

If the sender pubkey is not in the WoT the entire event is discarded, event type is irrelevant
Normally this only happens when there is some issue fetching your existing follow list. In the sidebar does it show how many people you are following? If it doesn't say 0 you can as a workaround tap the 3 dots on a post and follow from the menu item there, this will publish a new follow list and also enable the follow buttons again.
Could you make a video of this? I’ve heard this before but I’m not sure what is happening and I don’t understand how Japanese input works
Your bots need a bit more work to make it past WoT filters

What are you looking for in the next update?
I haven’t looked into private zaps yet, is it different from sending a direct lightning payment?
I agree the name was a mistake but I haven’t found a new one yet
Reminds me of that bezos quote: "When the data and the anecdotes disagree, the anecdotes are usually right."
I have a simple algorithm for the Hot feed in Nostur:
- get your follows
- fetch posts from the last X hours that they liked or reposted
- sort posts by most liked/reposted, only count likes/reposts from your follows, don't count duplicates
Algorithm is not the problem, its the purpose of the algorithm that matters, big difference between an algorithm designed to serve content you like or one designed to get maximum ad revenue.

Nostur has dark mode, it uses your device setting
No need for screen recording, I just tried it and see what you mean, strange, will take a look.
Interesting use 🤔 I guess I could also hide the tab bar altogether if there is just 1 tab left over so you have a bit more screen space.
adding these toggles in next TestFlight

just disable or reorder the tabs, or you have other ideas in mind?
Then there might be something else wrong, is someone you follow following these bots? or maybe the feed specific toggle for WoT is off (on custom feeds)
I'll look into it but it's a bit tricky because right now I'm showing posts as soon as they are available even without profile info, and then it updates as soon as the profile info comes in. Also all the bots can rename to nostrich2.house in just 1 second.
Are they making it through your WoT spam filter? or you have that disabled?
yes tap the active toolbar button at the bottom, or tap the Nostur logo at the top, or tap and hold the unread counter
on the main feed it would have a slight delay/stutter but I have some solutions for that I will try in a later version
what is the 5th item in your reply “e” tags? this is somehow causing your replies to appear as root posts in Nostur
I think this is happening on iOS 15 right? or newer also?
I fixed this before, are you on a recent version?
adding some details for when you tap the imposter label

looking into this now, thanks!
Which media upload service are you using? You can check in Settings -> Image uploading
Yes but I’m not familiar with the translation management systems yet, I added Dutch manually through Xcode’s own translation thing
yes I have 400+ bookmarks now, it was becoming difficult to find posts. Next I will probably add filter by profile and text search
I think this is fixed in 280/281, on the way to TestFlight now
yes it was there before but a recent change broke it, will be back soon

I think similar to how smaller blocks on bitcoin are necessary for decentralization, we will need minimal text based communication to overcome the challenges of censorship on nostr.
In the future we may have:
- Smoll-relay maxis -> good for outbox model / decentralization
- Text-only maxis (kind 1) --> easy to relay / unstoppable
- Smoll-follow list maxis (kind 3) ---> good for WoT / nostr dunbar number
YouTube and anything similar that requires big data and processing power will just naturally lead to centralization because of the costs.
We may need the "Other Stuff" to grow nostr's network effect, and hopefully we can do it in a way that it won't become a "Communication vs Everything Else war" (ie block size war)
I'm cheering about it because in 2013 I was told it was going to happen, then I researched and verified it is actually going to happen, then I watched it happen 2016, and again in 2020 and now in 2024 I'm supposed to be sad that is going to happen again?
Maybe you get your wish and the degens will reorg for a rare sat and cause chaos around the halving block, that would be the only reason for a little sadness, even though the halving will still happen just with a bit more chaos.

By default Nostur doesn't publish relays right now. If there is an existing kind 3 it imports it, otherwise it uses a static list to bootstrap (still local only). There is a wizard to publish relays in kind 10002 but I don't think it's used a lot yet.
When I have the outbox model fully ready I will do more with automatic publishing, currently its a local list + blastr patchwork.
Hmm I see you somehow have duplicates, I need to look into to that
Yes! it will check from your follow list if there are any recommended web apps for the unsupported type.
yes, this should be more visible.
the bug with mute conversation in Nostur is fixed in TestFlight, it will be released in the App store soon.

For Android there are other apps available:

I think this may be because the pic is on http not https, not because of the size
yes it helps, it stops auto downloading pictures and videos and a few other things.
@npub1cda…czgz did some measuring a while ago:
#note1s5g…q8aj
Its coming to Nostur too within a few weeks probably
I’m open to the idea but I can’t think of good solutions. Maybe something along the lines of a published list of hash(own number x other number), but it doesn’t feel right having that whole list out there. Maybe there also needs to be a relay spec where you can only query for a match but not retrieve the whole list.

Deleting and reinstalling starts with a clean database, there must have been something in the database that isn’t caught by the automatic clean up.
Maybe something from earlier TestFlight builds that hopefully isn’t an issue anymore.
It should stay fast, if it starts slowing down again, let me know.
> phone vibrates, but it does nothing
Phone vibrate happens with regular reaction emojis, maybe its the wrong emoji?
I’m using a toggle for each relay to allow AUTH, if its on it will perform AUTH right away and if its off it will ignore it.
I’m not sure what the advantage would be of adding a wait-for-“auth-required”.
I don’t think that will help, you probably need to delete and reinstall :/
Difficult to troubleshoot this one without connecting a cable.
Maybe for some reason database clean up isn’t happening and its gotten too big and then at startup the database update is taking too long.
If you go back to an earlier version that works you can see in Settings at the bottom how many events/contacts are in the database and and tap Optimize now to force a clean up and then try update again.

Still crashing on latest TestFlight (271)?
Strange, I’ve not been able to get mine to crash or find any crash logs that could be related. I will revert some changes for the next build to hopefully pin it down.

I think so. Maybe with a toggle for [any reference / comments / both] but I will leave the default as you have it now.
awesome!
Is it ok if I make a pull request to add support for https://github.com/nostur-com/nids/blob/main/02.md ?
Accidental likes you can already unlike, there is a few seconds delay before they are sent out in which you can unlike
I could add that, but many clients don’t support it yet and would still show the Like.
Can you show a screenshot?
you need to put in your public key in hex format, so da18e9860040f3bf493876fc16b1a912ae5a6f6fa8d5159c3de2b8233a0d9851 instead of npub1… and remove https:// from the nip05 address
There may be an issue with the slash at the end, does it work if you remove it?
I want to add just 1 button that will show the entire emoji keyboard but I don’t know how to do that yet.

#note120t…fzmm
The comments are regular kind 1 so most clients should be able to show the comments, but it requires some special handling to make it appear as a comment on a website instead of reply to a post.
Yes, the UX is a bit clunky and hidden now because I’m still experimenting with it but you can comment on any url with Nostur. Right now you have to paste the URL in search to do it.
Hopefully other clients will adopt it too and you could also comment from the browser eventually with something like @npub1alp…6dsn browser extension: #note1vcr…htje
Nope, the comment is done through nostr.
Why comment with your youtube account when you can comment with your nostr account

Seems like nobody is doing anything with labeling or reporting yet.
For a popular account I would expect at least someone to label or report this with “nudity”, not in a negative or censoring way but just to provide extra information about a post. But I queried for kind 1984 (NIP-56 - Reporting) and kind 1985 (NIP-32 - Labeling) and I get nothing.

the biggest problem withs DM is metadata leaks and the new spec didn’t fix that. It is an improvement but a lower priority improvement imo.

It actually does this but its broken in some situations, I need to check that.

It should send to all the relays marked for publishing, there is no outbox or bandwidth saving happening yet so thats not it.
Check in your relay settings if there maybe is a connection issue, you should have all green circles next to the relays marked with the up arrow (publish). Also if you go in to the relay details make sure your account isn’t excluded from publishing to that relay, normally you don’t have to change anything there but maybe there is a bug.
Should look like this, in my case it would send to 7 relays:
https://media.utxo.nl/wp-content/uploads/nostr/5/a/5a140c35aa762989490139c5c76474e96cb7e765f4bc80377f70436ba8d5619f.webp
I see you are only following Dr. Jeff Ross now, if you remember on which client you followed him last that’s probably the one that is broken.
I recently added support for iOS 15 on @npub1n0s…k6h0
TestFlight update
#note18jk…6hks
It could be related to the size of your follow list, I haven’t optimized for that many follows yet.
Did it become slower over time (days)? And do you have background refresh on or off? I think may know what the issue is, I have an update related to this coming soon also with some other memory and performance improvements.
maybe iCloud sync disabled? or different Apple ID? then you only get partial sync through relays.
Are other things like bookmarks also not syncing or only feeds?
I broke it when adding hashtag icons, will be fixed.
They will look like out of context posts in other clients or do you have a different solution for that?
If you make them a kind 1 reply to kind 443 then people will see that they are replies or comments on a website and also they won’t be mixed up with other kind 1 that are just mentioning the url with “r”.
This is great! Looks like what I’m trying to do with https://github.com/nostur-com/nids/blob/main/02.md
#note1n8g…nduv
What method are you using?
This is great, we need more algorithms that serve the user instead of ad revenue.
Ah I see, makes sense now.
Ideally these manual actions shouldn’t be necessary as the Hide seen posts toggle makes sure you see a post only once, repost or not. But I added the “(beta)” because it currently forgets across app restarts and for some reason it seems to restart more often than it should.
I’m not sure about that because I tried to understand it and I don’t get it.
> ‘Mark as read' ⚪🟢
Is this a toggle on a single post? or where? mark what as read?
> 'auto mark as read any post by someone called Jack' ⚪🟢
This is the same as ‘mute/block Jack’ ? or just reposts?
Note that it isn’t a lost cause with nostr. Just opening a client, scrolling and closing won’t reveal “Last seen”, it is the moment you interact with nostr that you reveal that information. This means when you post something, or like a post, it is revealed, but I think people expect that. Where there can be improvement is with other actions, like adding a bookmark or adding a mute, people don’t expect this to be a public action, but many clients store this in a list signed with your pubkey so it reveals your Last seen.
The “should” discussion is a bit silly, I’d rather see people figure out ways to make it impossible to reveal last seen, but so far I have seen no solutions.
I think nobody wants this revealed by default but it’s part of how nostr works. Pretending it doesn’t exist by hiding it seems worse to me because people will think that information isn’t out there when it is.
https://nos.today is great
You can try to add your account again with your nsec (Add existing account).
If that still doesn’t work, log out (Sidebar -> Log out), and then Add existing account again.
usage at the same time is supported, sounds like a bug with account sync :/

I remember trying just VStacks early on, it was indeed smooth but with slow initial loading. As a SwiftUI noob back then so I didn’t know how to optimize further but I guess it could work with the right hacks.
Yes, a parallel comment section for every page on the internet is a good explanation for this spec.
I will first try to get it right in Nostur, and then I will try to do it as a WordPress plug-in. Hopefully by then someone will have already built a browser extension or I can give it a shot.
It wouldn’t be nostr without some chaos around logos
https://media.utxo.nl/wp-content/uploads/nostr/d/e/de155e3724468e4c1888a8684debe977e88eaccf033c95468e9ae198300e0a47.webp
I could only remember some nips with “r” as a reference to URL which is why I’m also using “r”. I looked at how nocomment works and it seems to post a kind:1 with a “r” url as root.
With this I want to create a “virtual” root, that is just the URL, the author should be hidden so it really looks like replies or comments on an URL and not someone replying to someone elses post.
Test post for https://github.com/nostur-com/nids/blob/main/02.md
Just adding a comment box should be pretty easy since @npub180c…h6w6 already did all the hard parts with nocomment, wire that into a WordPress plug-in and it’s done.
But doing just this would not be a benefit for the website author, it would lead to spam and WordPress also already supports comments itself, with moderation and anti spam plugins (that are not compatible with nostr).
The only way I could see it working is if there was some way to apply a WoT filter from the WordPress side.
Then the benefit would be that it would attract website activity from nostr users. While small now it could be big in the future and we have to start somewhere. The other way around it could grow nostr users when people see a conversation on a website and want to reply, giving them a reason to get on nostr.
Under the hood it would essentially be a nostr conversation around an URL, something similar like I described here: #note1gkm…jgmf
People would be replying to an article or page on nostr, could be within a nostr app or on the website. WordPress would just show that conversation via something like nocomment.

I think it should work but I’m not sure, I have another TestFlight build up for macOS in a few minutes you can try.
I might give it a shot if I can find some libs for Swift, the lower level encryption details are not my strong point.

Grabbing a write relay from the author is the piece of the puzzle I was missing, still not great but better than nothing yes.
I’m looking for rare kinds to test the Other Stuff
I have several TODOs in my code to add relay hints, and every time I want to start to implement them I remind myself why I didn’t add them yet: I don’t know which relay hint to add.
For example when I receive most posts from "wss://filter.nostr.wine/npub1n0sturny6....?broadcast=true" I can't add that as a relay hint, its a relay for my account.
I received many posts from wss://relay.damus.io, but can't add that it was recently nuked so the posts might not be there anymore.
Querying all relays to see if the posts are still there would put unnecessary stress on the relays.
I can't just rebroadcast posts because some relays don't accept old posts.
How do other clients do it? Is there a good solution?
I'm a bit confused, I just tried this with only your pubkey, you have 2 events but they only have a “d” and a “p” tag?
https://media.utxo.nl/wp-content/uploads/nostr/8/a/8acd7c6bd65b2456886ba1e1a45bf8f0655ab82dc0adc6996346a1a873ad7359.webp
Looks good! I will try to get this working in the next update. One thing I also want to show eventually in the suggestions is “used by” with maybe 1-3 mini profile pics of people you follow, but I’m not sure if this data is available yet, might need more clients to support adding recommended apps, right now I only know of https://nostrapp.link that has this functionality.
These:
https://media.utxo.nl/wp-content/uploads/nostr/9/b/9bc476b05fe42514fe111c6b1bf9cc7ce56ead2ecf375da97088f4fd5ae1f249.webp
Right now the “push" notifications are only for mentions, replies and DMs. Maybe I’ll add this one too. I put "push” in quotes because they are not really push notifications and they do require background refresh.
I’m not sure if there is much more battery drain, iOS is pretty strict with power management so instead of drain you would get delayed notifications.
Yes on the todo :) although I already added support for 34235 in the coming update, but it would have been nice if it had already shown suggested apps for new kinds.
Are other clients doing this yet? I’m curious how its shown so far.
It’s better now but I’m still not entirely happy with it, especially considering scrolling is one of the things that started it all. There is still a minuscule hitch sometimes when new cells appear, I get these in both the SmoothTable or the plain LazyVStack lists
Switching from UIColllectionView to UITableView using almost the same code seemed to help a bit, or at least got rid of the random flying view animations.
but for lists where I don’t need to maintain scroll position or insert cells at the top I still use the regular LazyVStacks
Also new respect for @npub19md…6vzk. I get sweaty palms posting long posts like this knowing there is no edit button, and they manage to do it every day!
yes it works like that, full explanation here: #note18c4…h424
Do you have the Web of Trust filter off or is it broken? Should look like this in settings:

In Nostur the Hot feed and Media Gallery are ranked on likes and reposts. If you are wondering if all the fake likes today are messing it up, don’t worry, it’s based only on likes and reposts from people you follow.

Yes its a bug, not exactly sure what triggers it, switching Accepted/Requests tabs usually fixes it.
(unless you are logged in with npub, then it should look like that)
hmmm I think stacker.news added a minimum amount of 1000 sats
They could complement each other if we use both. Right now it’s possible to send reports but when receiving reports it doesn’t do anything with them yet. We could leverage WoT to decide which reports are relevant or not.
In your screenshot the profile picture of Ranger looks very different though, could be a very old cached false positive from back when there were code errors if you have been using Nostur since back then, or the pixel checking still needs improvement.
It adds the label if both the following is true:
- you are not following the contact
- it has a 80% similar name and profile picture as someone you already follow
For picture it checks pixels and for name it uses Jaro-Winkler from https://github.com/autozimu/StringMetric.swift I tried levenshtein before but it seemed a bit buggy. Both could probably be improved but I haven't had false positives for a while, there were a few a while back but that was actually related to code errors, not the algorithms.
Weird coincidence but I also have a neck pain the last 2 days, but not as bad as you, hope you get well soon.
Maybe "they" are going after the nostr devs 😆

yea looking back the one thing I regret is the name, I’m still looking for a new one, but it will be difficult to top Damus, that name is just… perfect.
Ok good to know. I also found the issue with connecting to nsecbunker, will be fixed in the next update.
This is great! going to try it also. @npub180c…h6w6 I see the connection string is a bit different than I remember when integrating Pablo’s version, does it work the same or is this a different spec?
I fixed a few things related to slow typing and freezes. I’ll check what I can find between 206 and 219 related to loading.
This should only happen if one of your accounts uses nsecBunker
That is a bit far back to pin down what the problem could be. 206 is before most iCloud sync updates. 219 is before big relays/networking update, you could try that.
On which feed types do you get this? Following/Relay/Contact/Hot/Any/etc ?
New notifications, profile relays tab, and more.

That’s ok, this is about a separate relay list that others can use to reach or find you, you can still use 20 relays, but others only need to know about 2-4 for the whole thing to work.
Clients need to do it right though, not sure which ones are doing what but it doesn’t look good yet
#note1p9z…42qp
Loads weird for me too on full width, will look into it
hmm the crash on close still seems to happen
Yes it should be separate, there are many useful type of relays that a client could connect to but are useless in kind:10002: blastr relays, special feed relays from nostr.band or nostr.wine, private relays…
After looking at a small random sample of kind:10002 events, it looks to me like clients are ignoring this important note of NIP-65: **Clients SHOULD guide users to keep kind:10002 lists small (2-4 relays).**
I see way too many relays, also its not useful to have blastr relays in there.
It almost looks like a copy paste of kind 3 relays, which then defeats the point NIP-65.

Yes the crashing has been fixed but not on TestFlight yet. 99% videos I’ve noticed too, not sure yet and not all videos
Maybe I could make a choice per type: on, mute, mute+hide tab.
Because I have some muted but I still like to go to the tab sometimes to see whats there
Curious, can people other than sender/receiver verify these ecash zaps? or we still need a receipt from the mint for that? (assuming you trust the mint)
For me it was

- Never open “global” again, remove feed

Yes or eventually any type of content, basically leveraging Drupal as a CMS for nostr content, could be products, articles, etc
Yes I added it a while back, but it only tries the first relay included in the nprofile atm when it can’t be found the users relays, it doesn’t try all included relays yet
The check for this label is a bit naive right now, will be fixed. When you post from Nostur it is correct but when you post from somewhere else and then receive your own post in Nostur its actually counting "received from"
I think so, but I don’t fully understand the Cashu protocol yet, just picking the low hanging fruit first.
Take pictures, redeem Cashu tokens, never miss posts from someone, and more.
#note1yyz…2m9v
nice!
Have you thought about turning the drupal site into a “niche” article relay? So in addition to optionally publishing to other relays it would act as its own relay for just the articles, relay hints by others referencing the articles in “e” or “a” tags would be the website url but over wss.
I haven't read the whole article because skimming it and seeing crypto or blockchain as solutions triggered a close tab reflex for me.
But your comment about nostr features around RSS notes is interesting, and I would generalize it to nostr features or conversations around URLs.
NIP-84 (Highlights) sort of does this but it has the emphasis more on a partial blurb that someone finds interesting.
I'd like to see something where the article or URL is the "root", and then your client would show something like "Petri & 2 others have started a conversation around this article".
If someone can login to your Apple ID they can find your nsec if the app:
- stores the nsec in keychain and you have iCloud keychain enabled
- stores the nsec somewhere else on device unencrypted and you have iCloud back-up enabled
So to keep your nsec safe keep your Apple ID safe, or disable iCloud.
Also technically Apple can always get your nsec by pushing a malicious update to your device, but this is very tinfoil.

yes nostr:npub is preferred but I’ll make it work with `@npub` too
hmm I see `@npub…` in the source, Nostur shouldn’t generate it like that, probably because it was pasted? It should work if its pasted as `nostr:npub…`
I’ll check if I can make it work for `@npub…` too
In preparation of implementing the outbox model you can now (finally) publish your relays with @npub1n0s…k6h0

I'm curious how they ended up in the contact list, this was from before my nostr journey, anyone knows?

Two wrongs don't make a right, connecting to random urls for nip05 validation is also not good for privacy.
Better use nip05 minimally, just for finding npubs. The idea of using it for verification didn't turn out to be a good idea anyway.
yes on https://github.com/nostur-com/nostr-essentials (used by Nostur) as client and on https://github.com/fabianfabian/nostr-media as server.
I don’t remember changing anything there but I’ll take a look
I also want to make an Android client.
But here are the reasons why I probably won't:
- Android already has Amethyst
- @npub1xts…kk5s is going to make an android client which I'm sure will be amazing
- I thought I would have time after I finish Nostur on iOS, but nostr evolves fast so Nostur is never finished, there is always something new and interesting to build
- There is the Apple way of doing things and there is the Android way and I don't use Android enough to know how to do things the Android way. This is also why many cross platform apps suck, they don't do things the best Apple or Android way, they do it in 1 way that works on both platforms, leading to not the best but the worst of both worlds.
How exactly should it work? I want to implement all these “hidden” navigation improvements. The last one was navigating back and to top with the bottom tab buttons, explained to me by @npub1lrn…qnw5 and @npub14f6…qvty, I never knew this was possible and now I use it all the time.
This would save me so much time!
It is no longer defined by NIP-01, it is described by NIP-01, changing NIP-01 does not automatically change the code in clients and relays.
You may be putting too much weight on the nips repo. If it was shut down today nostr would be fine, another repo fork would replace it.
One entity has complete control over that repo, but that doesn’t define nostr, it has at most a big influence, which can be lost if it no longer reflects what is implemented in clients and relays.
I like the rule for NIPs that at least 2 clients should have it implemented.
That way this "centralized" repository just reflects what is already out there, and what others can also implement if they also want to be interoperable, it is not a top down decision of what every client should implement.
@npub1n0s…k6h0 1.9.0 is now on the App Store!
#note1lna…258z
I would do a separate installation but that is a bit more difficult. Specific category or tag is not a bad idea, I will add that.
https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/547
yes NIP-98 (HTTP Auth) and NIP-96 (HTTP File Storage Integration)
If you have a WordPress website and want to host pictures you post on nostr yourself, you can connect it with your nostr client using this plug-in:
https://github.com/fabianfabian/nostr-media/releases/tag/0.7-beta
Installation video:
https://nostur.com/v/nostr-media.mp4
Nostur reconnects when coming from background, but it has been a bit buggy in the past, since build 222 on TestFlight I reworked a big part of the network code and its much faster and reliable now.
This is showing no internet -> internet, its similar with coming from background:
https://video.nostr.build/1572166206fe2b235a79200cb387fe0b65d5e2c1db2b5380aacb733117f4ee25.mp4
Just ignore labels outside WoT and increase significance of labels from direct follows.
@npub1n0s…k6h0 update
#note1epk…sdla
Assuming there is some way to know it is sold, i.e. it starts spamming, possible solutions:
If it is a direct follow: Unfollow
If it is a follow within your following graph: show which follows are following the sold nsec so you can inform them to unfollow, or unfollow those who don't unfollow
Labels could probably help with automating this to make it easier
Is there a NIP somwhere? For now, I'm planning to add just `["client", "Nostur"]`
you can already do that by just making a weird note and saying you posted it from whatever client
Hey thanks! The crash is a bug in the last version, will be fixed soon
No that should still be there, strange
@npub1n0s…k6h0 update

Should be like this:

If you open the feed tab and then go to the feed settings (icon next to the turtle at the top) and then choose “Configure contacts..." does it show all your selected contacts or only 1?
If you see only 1 then there may be a duplicate feed. You can delete duplicate feeds from Sidebar->Feeds and then swiping the feed to the left.
Do you still have the note id or the url of the image that failed to upload?
No right now it shows only the followers that are also followed by the person viewing the profile.
Any hand-picking that may be added in the future will be based on hand-picking by the person viewing the profile, not the person on the profile. For example, if you think someone is important, you would be able to see that this important person also follows this profile.

No this was supposed to be fixed but I missed a part of embedded posts, will fix.
@npub1n0s…k6h0 update
#note18y0…w8lv
hmm 🤔 sounds like this could have some interesting use cases
Yes, it already backs up own events, but context is coming too
I'm open to suggestions, only names with an available domain name accepted.
I couldn't find the event because my navigation doesn’t have gossip.
Yea I need to add some extra checks on the notifications, I miss some too sometimes. I’m not sure how an “All” view would help, that seems just a GUI thing unless I misunderstand?
Yes but with the custom feeds, I will sync them and then also add export/publish
They are already mixed on the Follow tab, but probably burried beneath all the other posts
No bookmarks are local to the device, not related to any nostr account and only synced across devices if using the same Apple ID
I will add a export/publish to relays so bookmarks will also be interoperable with other nostr apps and then they will be linked to which account you choose during export.
Wouldn't you have preferred to know it was fake, if it was possible, before you reacted like this? This is possible to do without censhorship
https://media.utxo.nl/wp-content/uploads/nostr/b/7/b73054ead18e8cc4fa251e6b3f391c1d1d8022ff951c336fe70b5409903c361c.webp
Yes in this case it essentially requires clients to provide some way to easily label something as fake, and then for other clients to read the labels, make some decision probably based on follow graph on which labels to show or not.
Maybe NIP-32 is enough, I need to look into it again, last time I checked it seemed a bit complex.
solution? besides “two legs bad”
That's good advice for the poster of (accidental) fake news.
I’m looking more for a solution for readers, it would have been nice if my client automatically added as a note Pablo’s post:
#note1lrt…gkam
with a reference to Miljan’s post
Which is basically a very simplified version of Community Notes
Solutions to fake news on nostr? Are we going to need Community Notes or something similar?
#note1djl…uadk
In a way its possible to do this now by using a different account, post something, maybe to a private “drafts” relay, then on the main account find that post, copy the source and post it again using the Signer
I guess it could be, but wouldn’t it be better to do this with nsecBunker?

Which part of Nostur needs to be faster the most?
Nostr Media Uploads for WordPress update:
- Add API Authorization checks for "method", "kind", "created_at", and "u"
- API gives better feedback in the response if there is something wrong
- Show warning at installation if post_max_size or upload_max_filesize is too low
- Fixed: Unable to remove npub from WordPress user
https://github.com/fabianfabian/nostr-media/releases/tag/0.6-alpha
Demo and installation video: http://nostur.com/v/nostr-media.mp4
Typo: Use nostr for public things not private.
Just show it. If people don't know they won't change behavior.
Its the same with the Last Seen feature I have in Nostur, I don't want to have this feature in Nostur, and people want to to be able to turn it off but its inherent to the protocol, it can't be turned off, so I show it so people are not using nostr under false assumptions.
Use nostr for public things to private.
#Nostur update (TestFlight)
- Enabled text selection on posts and DMs

I have decided to fork the nostr protocol. This new fork is maximum compatible with the legacy nostr protocol. This fork will be аіrdrοpped for free on all existing and future npubs, and any client connecting to existing nostr network will be also be able to connect to the new fork. The fork is called: postr: Posts and Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays.
NIPs have been renamed to NIPs, which stands for: Now Its Posts. The new Github is at: https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips I see many of you have joined already.
Thank you and lets keep building!
Relays you add in Nostur are already hidden, I’m still working on a Relay Mastery screen where you can choose which ones to publish or not.
If you already have published relays you want to hide they are published from another client, you can use another client to remove them.

WP backend not showing images is a problem with the plugin and upload with “shared” settings shouldn’t happen as that could leak your alt account (but only to your own media server), will fix both soon.

This one should work on 7.4 or higher:
https://github.com/fabianfabian/nostr-media/releases/tag/0.3-alpha
only 2 php server requirements I haven’t been able to get rid of: ext-xml and ext-gmp. ext-xml shouldn’t be a problem, most WordPress hosting probably have this. ext-gmp I’m not sure, might be a problem for some hosts, it seems one of the schnorr libraries needs it.
I will have a 7.x version up soon that you can try, I managed to remove the things that needed 8.1 that are not needed for nip98.
Yes I ran into that too, there aren’t many nostr php libraries, and the one I found requires 8.1, I will try to figure out if we can make it run on 7.x
This is meant for self-hosting, not sure if that is possible with nostr.build. With nostrcheck.me you can self-host and has many more features but can be difficult to setup and maintain. This is supposed to be low barrier self hosting solution that you can just drop in your existing WordPress website, and configure your favourite nostr client to use it (when they start supporting NIP96).

I think I might do this, I did some wordpress dev in the past and know how things work but its too long ago for me to build anything useful, but I just asked ChatGPT some questions and it gave me all the right code snippets, got a minimal PoC already.
Added HTTP Auth and Media Uploads to NostrEssentials:
https://github.com/nostur-com/nostr-essentials
those are not the only options
It should be possible to create a wordpress plugin that does nip96
I'm going to try setting up my own nostrcheck server soon but I’m still hoping someone creates a service where I can just point my domain at so I don’t have to deal with all the server stuff.
I had some ideas in mind, some very easy to implement and some more complex:
- add a "nostr dunbar number” where if someone follows too many people its probably not well curated and could be ignored
- weighted scores based on contact list size
- complete pagerank-ish system but for pubkeys (track inbound and outbound follows)
I'll probably start with easy ones first, but so far I've put them all on low prio because the current WoT filter already seems to work pretty good.
Gallery, Hot and Articles will only show if your account follows more than 10 people
Yes I did it through https://nostrapp.link
#nevent1q…js8w

iOS apps have the same problem with opening lightning wallets, hardcoding app specific schemes seems the only solution
yes for Nostur its nostur:nostr:<bech32>
That or the WoT filter is not activating correctly, I think it’s fixed in the latest TestFlight, the current App Store release might be a bit buggy. If you see a count with how many contacts are allowed then its working
You can paste the raw message here and it will say if the signature is valid or not: https://nak.nostr.com
In Nostur you can active the Web of Trust spam filter to stop this kind of spam, I wrote something about it here: https://habla.news/u/
[email protected]/nostr-web-of-trust
https://nostrcheck.me/media/public/8cb789b0a2dada76afd35b23fbabfd2c480e3bccbf822a3d6f6a8f0a7d3e85e3.webp
yes should be fixed next update
I think @npub1alp…6dsn nostr.kiwi as a pwa
I’m very grateful for OpenSats and its donors for supporting me!
I have been funding the development of Nostur for almost a year by myself, because I believe it is worth it and that nostr is one of the last options remaining to have an open discussion on the internet. I have some buffer which allowed me to do this, and while it won't last forever the OpenSats grant will make it last longer.
For those who have not read my mission yet I posted it a while ago: https://blogstack.io/naddr1qq8xummnw36hyttdd9ehx6t0dcq3gamnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwv3sk6atn9e5k7q3qn0sturny6w9zn2wwexju3m6asu7zh7jnv2jt2kx6tlmfhs7thq0qxpqqqp65w8jxczy
#naddr1qq…xczy
I'm looking forward to improving the nostr ecosystem further.
A little side note, I am looking for a new name for Nostur, I agree with some of the feedback that Nostur is a bit too much like nostr, and confusing. I'm not glued to the current name, it was chosen just by trying to find a domain name that was still available, everything else was already taken and nostur.com was still free. I haven't found a new name yet but suggestions are welcome.
#note13nk…gw7m
After almost 10 months of nostr at UTC +7, I'll be shifting back to UTC +2, curious to find out what nostr will be like at UTC +2.
Yes there is a bug in the last few builds, still trying to squash it
They serve a different purpose, WoT is useful against spam and bots, and mute can be useful if you are not interested in a topic. For example with a WoT you no longer see spam, but you could still want to mute “etf” if you are not interested in that.
On the app store version zap is only on the profile card, the direct download from https://nostur.com has it on posts.
You can also close the app and type on the Terminal:
defaults write nostur.com.Nostur footer_buttons "\\Ud83d\\Udcac\\Ud83d\\Udd04+\\U26a1\\Ufe0f\\Ud83d\\Udd16”
Now that I read my post again I see I worded it wrong, leading to probably even more confusion.
What happens is this:
Nostur has a local contact list, could be imported from relays or created from Nostur.
Then when you open Nostur and it receives a new contact list it check it against its local list
it will always add contacts found in the new relay list to the local list
and then if the new relay list has missing contacts there are 3 options:
Remove: removes the contacts from the local list (list from relay is correct)
Restore: add local contacts that are missing in the relay list back and republish
Ignore: just add new contacts found in the new relay list to local, but don't republish or remove anything
Yea maybe a dedicated screen is the only way, I wanted to find away to keep it simple.
No but if you ignore Nostur will still restore the missing contacts locally, it just won’t publish a new contact list to relays. So you can check in the side bar there you see a follow count, if it looks about right you can just unfollow/follow someone random and then it will publish a new contact list.
Idea: this embed thing in the screenshot but for replies, so you can reply to someone on twitter but the reply is on nostr, and anyone opening the nostr reply from twitter will still somehow have the context of the original post so we can continue the discussion on nostr.
https://nostrcheck.me/media/public/6b78d1f4d9544f45c5a7e895f96e2455ba55d38ae7ca44065dbb8c31780ef4dc.webp
The solution for the first will probably be related to PoW.
After date —> has to do with time or duration
Duration can be solved with PoW
But that can broken by more compute
Which can be solved with a difficulty adjustment
I’m not smart enough to solve it further.
It related to not opening too many subscriptions to a relay, but should be possible to do this
There is no way to query relays for posts that are not replies 🤔
Not sure what you mean with the “new” tab, maybe you added a custom feed with that title? DM button on profile was just added in last TestFlight
So far I’m seeing many of these, is this an example spam event or is there another reason why it shouldn’t be loaded?
I only see them when I turn off the Web of Trust spam filter so its handled like regular airdrop spam otherwise.
https://nostrcheck.me/media/public/5aa411b3019cf44c8c12ab45d0dc1960bc242f4a121fe4e7908e60c851440940.webp
as long as its not Boaty McBoatface
Yes this one bothers me the most also, so far the only solution I have would also remove the unread counter and new posts coming in the from the top while keeping scroll position, I prefer to keep those.
Some interesting ideas thanks, bookmarked for looking into these later
it tries to be but sometimes posts come in later from different relays and instead of waiting it already shows whats been received so far, this can mess up the order a bit.
I had a better chronological ordering in older versions but I sacraficed a bit for speed, I have to redo some things to get it back to before while keeping it fast.
Thats good to hear! I did change/clean up a lot of the networking/websocket code in the last TestFlight, I was doing a few things all wrong, probably still not doing right but less wrong is still better.
After receiving events from relays they are put in a "bucket", after a short debounce/throttle the importer takes all events in the bucket and saves them to the local database, every time the importer takes events from the bucket it will show “Processing X..”
Good idea. I was planning to add drafts, but just caching the latest writing is so simple and would already solve a lot in the mean time.
My UX blind spot is post/content creation.
I used Twitter so much in the past that I wanted to create my own client for it, that would fix or improve all the things other clients were missing. I was using Tweetbot at the time, it was very good, 10x better than Tweetdeck, 100x better than the native twitter client. When Elon shut down the API I was forced to use normal Twitter again and I hated it. From years of daily use of mostly lists (feeds), across multiple devices, in sync, in chronological order with unread counts, to being forced to use a single "For You" feed filled with garbage and unusable UX for lists was extremely annoying to me.
With Nostur I am recreating everything just to have my normal experience back and I am building it on nostr so it cant be taken away again.
But I am mostly a reader/lurker, so while the reading experience in Nostur is great, posting/content creation is my blind spot, I don't know what features are missing there because I don't use it much and didn't use it much on Twitter either, except for some reply posting on an alt-account.
I believe the best apps are built by devs who use their own apps and I'm not using the posting part of Nostur enough to know what's missing, my experience pretty much stops at posting release notes, I know it's great for that, but for other content I need active posters to tell me what's missing.
So if you are missing something, let me know!
Not yet but I will add this
this👆
not sure what exactly the one liner is but for me it is definitely about the social graph
nostr is kind 0+3
kind 1 is the first application
not sure about the logo but I need a new name first
Strange. I'm using https://github.com/kean/Nuke for images, I'll check if there is anything known about this
Yes repost too, this already works in the released version, but not across all feeds, and some may slip through because the way things are loaded but it already reduces duplicates a lot
There are extremes on both ends, your example is one side the other is using public relays as personal storage for everything
here's one from sep 15 https://pastebin.com/Ch4ddZCw
Working on hiding duplicate posts:
https://nostur.com/screenshots/c/nostur-seen-tracker.jpg
Useful for if you have multiple feeds with overlapping contacts
Do you also zap every Sunday?
Sure sounds good, but I need to read up on NIP-96 first. Does it also allow just linking domain or do you need to self-host right from the start?
Seeing lots of html in your highlights 🧐
yes this is following without publishing that you are following them
Mute for X hours is coming soon, for now you can use Block, it doesn’t actually unfollow, I think that’s a display issue with the Follow/Unfollow button.
macOS App Store version is always a bit delayed, should be there now
I think I forgot to add it to the custom amount sheet and then never noticed. I’ll add it in the next update.

Seems to be caused by “unusual line terminators" whatever that is, I can probably filter it out, just curious how they got in there

Yes definitely, and the companies will use the same line that zuck uses: "We don't sell people's data"
And then they will sell access to info based on your data, analytics on your data, recommendations on your data, they will sell everything about your data except your data itself so they can say they don't sell your data.
The only defense against this is to not publish what doesn't need to be published, nostr is more public than other networks so there needs to be more awareness of this.
It should show your wallet balance, but only if you turned it on and your wallet supports it, I think I may have forgotten to hide it if its off/disabled, will check

Some day, I will post my first GM.
> The question of how to make a "general" trending feed (to show by default to non-signed-in users) seems like a different, separate thing.
Yeah general/trending is a separate thing and I agree it will help.
> If you are some anon poster who is totally unknown but you have really amazing content it would be optimal to surface that content so that person can actually gain followers.
The surfacing problem is an interesting one, I think it fundamentally comes down to the question: Did you not like this post because you didn't like it or because you didn't see it?
After thinking about it a bit more it seems to me most solutions lead to some centralized recommendation service, but one thing that might be feasible is for a client to keep track of your likes and people with similar likes in your WoT, ie customers who bought this also bought... but for likes from your follows.
It would solve 2 problems: show something you probably like that you would have otherwise missed and the anon gained a like or maybe a follow that would have otherwise never been seen.
Incompatible hardware? Was it always like that or since one of the updates?

When applying a Web of Trust difference between a follow and a follower is critical. A Web of Trust based on followers will never work, at least not in a decentralized way, for the reasons you mentioned.
I like how you are thinking of it in terms of a fundamental source of scarcity. With a Web of Trust based on follows that scarcity starts with the user's follow list, everything else is derived from that input.
The nice thing when everything is derived from that 1 input is that any problem in the output can be solved with a simple 'Unfollow'.
I had my first tiny earthquake experience a few months ago, very unusual for someone not used to being in an earthquake country. I noticed afterwards that the trained reaction for most people is to run outside. My initial reaction instead was "Why is the house shaking so much?". Glad it was just a small one so I know what to next time.
Agree. The original concept of prisms is great but what I see now is just another way to become a paid shill or MLM.
But I also wouldn’t throw it in the trash just yet, just needs more refinement and iteration, there is still potential there.

FYI, you are not the only one confused about names:
https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/794
Should be no problem to modify created_at in Nostur Signer, it could be that the relays are rejecting your event because it is too far in the past
#[0] is there a way to link a personal domain to images uploaded to nostrcheck.me?
So, any image uploaded comes back with the URL of my own domain instead of nostrcheck.me?
This way anyone could use nostrcheck.me and still have some control over the images included in posts.
Eventually it would allow people to migrate to their self-hosted nostrcheck.me with all their image URLs still working. I think this aligns with your goal of encouraging anyone to self-host their files.
You could provide an option to export all your images to make migration easier and clients would be encouraged to keep copies of their images so they can easily made available again on another instance if needed.
I think this is related to iOS 17 inline text prediction, will have a fix in next update
yes the app store version can’t have zaps directly on posts
NIP-01 defines “name”, it would be nice if all clients just used that and nothing more. I think the confusion and all other fields comes from it describing to put a username in that field, instead of just name so people invented other fields to put names.

could you give my nsecBunker instance a kick? it hasn’t been connecting the last few times I tried
There is still a lot of work to be done before you can say that nostr solves the issue of privacy. It doesn't require KYC to use and that's great, but it ends there. Almost everything after that is public and tied to your public key.
Relays are servers, they store a copy of your posts and depending on which clients you use you may have a copy yourself. The servers don't have any obligation to keep your posts forever and could delete your posts at will unless you have some other (paid) agreement.
Your data is stored on those 3 relays you mentioned, and likely propagated to more relays, most of it not encrypted unless it is DMs/chats or private lists, and that encrypted content is leaking metadata. (Some clients have been working on solutions for this)
As for scaling, it will probably scale similar as email, there are many email providers and not everyone is using the same email provider, although recently it has become difficult to compete with the few big providers, hopefully the outcome with nostr relays will be better.
Yea, I made websites in the past professionally, but for this I literally whipped up vscode, wrote some manual html and css like a cave man and asked ChatGPT for a gallery snippet.
I didn't want to spend more time on it, prefer to keep building on Nostur itself.
Some Nostur database stats:
Nostur stores every item you see and then removes everything you don't need after a few days, while keeping your own posts, bookmarks etc. Contact info is kept forever (for now)

this is content imported from news sites to fediverse by something or someone called Press.coop which is then imported to nostr with mostr, am I understanding this right?
Interesting, so just login and subscribe (follow) to news npubs? no zaps, likes, comments?
I’ll give it some thought
Yes this should be pretty easy to add, not sure if this is the best experience for the other app or website because I don't see any callback or redirect handing control back. But for the one off case of signing a single event I could add that.
The cost you mention for PoW only matters for protecting the history of transactions, it is irrelevant for spam, it actually protects the history of spam as well. PoW works because someone trying to redo transactions would have to have more PoW than the cumulative PoW of all others.
There is no cumulative PoW in nostr, unless you are proposing to turn nostr into a blockchain but that sounds absurd to me.
Maybe I'm missing something so don't let me stop you, if you find a way that works I'll even implement it in Nostur, but I'm not convinced right now.
Just a coincidental anecdote, yesterday I was trying another nostr website and was wondering why the submit button was so slow, when I looked at the produced JSON I understood why when I found a nonce in there 🤷
PoW is essential to Bitcoin but PoW doesn't stop spam, it didn't take off when it was Hashcash and it also doesn't stop spam in Bitcoin, see inscriptions for example.
> then why aren't they spamming nostr right now while the cost to do so is absolutely free?
They are. When I turn off the Web of Trust filter in Nostur I see spam all the time, if you are not seeing it you are relying on your relays doing the filtering for you. Add relay.nostr.band and you will have spam in many replies (with WoT filter disabled).
I see, I think my signer had an issue with one of the tags, first time I’ve seen an integer in there:
["l", "tmdbId", 603]
You can only zap from the profile card:
https://nostur.com/v/zap-nostur.gif
not sure where the rating is stored, I only see 🔟 in the content and an extra tag: ["t", "tt0133093"],
is that title + rating #[0] ?

My verdict: 🔟! ✨ @npub12zx…3sj2🎥🥔😁 #NostrPotatoes
https://images.metahub.space/background/medium/tt0133093/img.jpg
I think I might turn it on by default again in Nostur, I had it disabled because I assumed it would be a big performance hit, but after your post I decided to do an actual measurement and it doesn’t seem that bad actually. I will do some more testing to be sure.
Can someone explain ZBD to me? From Semisol's comment and their website I have this model in my head that doesn't make sense, play games and earn some sats, okay, so some kid is going to play games, after 3 weeks he earned 10 bucks and now the feds after him????

I don't see any reason for Nostur to not show it, I can see it on my feed after following #[0] so not sure what happened
offline or more likely for some reason disconnected
You could even do Login with Facebook, Login with Google, any OAuth, Not saying that it is a good idea, but it is possible, if you want to reach a different audience.
If you are going to store it on relays then at least do it under a different key or my Last seen will catch you.
Your follow list is stored somewhere. Some clients store it on relays, some on your device, or both.
When you try a new client it doesn't know about your existing follow list, so it needs to fetch it from somewhere, but where? It doesn't know which relays you used in the other client. So first you need to fetch your list of relays, but this is the same problem, where do you fetch the relays from? So clients just have a list of popular relays hoping they can find your relay or follow list from there.
How can your follow list be suddenly wiped? The follow list is a list that is replaced on relays when updated. When you follow someone new your new follow list will be 'your existing follow list + new follow'
This means if there is a problem with fetching your existing list, your new follow list will be 'empty + new follow', aka wiped.
It could also be a problem with different clients not being able to correctly read your follow list. Originally follow lists were just lists of contacts, more recently clients have started putting hashtags in follow lists, potentially causing other clients to fail in unpredictable ways.
This problem will never be solved until clients start storing local copies, in addition to publishing to relays.
So if there ever is a mismatch, you can always go back to your original client to restore.

Nice nostr web client
This is a bug and its not specific to you.
The imposter label is not based on reporting but on who you follow.
It should only show when you see someone you are not following who has a similar name and profile picture as someone you already follow.
There were some edges cases when using multiple accounts and switching and looks like this was one of them, I'll get them all fixed... eventually!
Normally it works really well, it easily detected the fake Jack, Will, Carla and Pablo that people were posting about recently.
It is shown on the profile card and detail view now.
In the next update I’m also changing the checkmark to a @ sign:

What did you use to add those pointy fingers in the video?
Interesting! I need to dive into DVM’s more some time.
If I remember correct Damus stuffs the relays list in the contact list, but there is no spec for that, in the past this would clear your (Damus) relays if you follow/unfollow someone in Nostur but I changed it to keep whatever is there so that doesn't happen anymore.
So if you are testing other clients, a follow/unfollow would probably do it. Nostur doesn't publish any relays at the moment, except for the ones you already have published as I'm still working to implement NIP-65 (Relay List Metadata)
It was generated by DALL-E :)

You have to zap through the profile now like this:

I can’t zap you, seems to be a mix up of the lud06 / lud16 in your lightning address fields

yes, noticed this too, fix coming
Which client did you use to make this reply? It’s not including the root e-tag making it difficult to render reply threads without traversing every individual reply
Don’t conflate nostr with apps that don’t support undo
He means reset to original follow list. Nostur can restore it from a local copy but only if you used Nostur before
Isn't it great that people can be outraged on nostr because they are outraged about something and not because an algorithm told them to be outraged about something
I had some issue but I'm not sure if it was in relation to the NavigationStack or .sheets, it was freezing, not crashing, and it only happened on macOS. Could not figure out the problem, eventually worked around it by adding a slight delay
Yes that already works in the current version, this is for a quick one off switch for a single post

#AskNostr #asknostr #Asknostr

yes its missing a cancel button, you can tap return go back
Not sure what you mean with someone liked it but not you? What does it show? Might be an issue with loading the likes, same happens with zaps sometimes, I need to fix that
The Non-App Store version does not automatically update, manually download the new version from https://nostur.com or use Homebrew package manager: brew install babonyx/nostr/nostur
Someone you don’t follow with similar name + profile pic as someone you already follow = possible imposter
Didn't you already get tricked here?

Strange, I can see the image here so the upload went fine, maybe something went wrong with the download and it cached the bad result, I’ll have to look into this.
I have a fix for youtube in the next update. Drag and drop doesn’t work but you can copy paste (cmd+c, cmd+v).
Is it bad that it’s been over a decade ago and I still know those acronyms like it was yesterday? I wasted too many years in that game 🤣
Nostur does publish who you follow by default but has an option to make a follow silent/private
Follows and Follows-of-follows casts a pretty wide net. I follow only around 200 people and that gives me WoT of 12916 people, good enough to create an enjoyable feed and I haven't seen any airdrop spam since.
The only issue with this now is it may make it a bit more difficult for brand new accounts who aren't followed by anyone yet. But I think there are solutions for this, and it's a much more nice problem to solve rather than playing cat and mouse with spammers.
I think I may have broken the unread notification counter again, fix soon…
Should be an easy fix to apply the web of trust filter to hashtags as well. Smalls steps
Nostur Signer: #note1al8…9gc0
yes as a workaround you can tap on the unread count at the top and choose Mark all as read
Haven’t seen this yet, do you know if its a display issue or if it actually didn’t send? Maybe you could check from another app to see if it sent if it happens again
yep I’m using sqlite too now, through CoreData. Seems nostrdb will be great too when ready but for me the database is not the performance bottleneck right now
#Nostur updates (TestFlight)
- Added 'Share link' to post menu to share a nostr.com/<bech32> link
- Low battery mode improvements: Pauses animated GIFs, Imposter checking, and fetching post stats
- Added Rescan followers button to fix some notification issues
- Fixed blocking with reposts
- Fixed GIF searching not working with spaces
- Fixed compatibility with Intel Mac (macOS 13.0+)
TestFlight: https://nostur.com/testflight
Source code: https://nostur.com/source
I think when nsecBunker crashes and auto restarts I still can’t use it to sign events until after I login and unlock the key, is there any solution for this?
I’ll check if I can release a new non app store version tonight. Does the newest one still give that Intel compatibility message?
That might be a different issue then, is that non-app store 1.4.0? It may have already been fixed in the TestFlight versions. I will release a new non app store version when 1.5.0 is ready. As a workaround you could run the TestFlight version, wait 1 minute and see if it doesn’t crash, this will load new things in the database, then close and start the non-app store version again.
There is an issue with the imposter checker, I will have an update soon, until then you can revert to build 147
#note1khc…aq0z
Nostur stores your follows on device so you can’t lose them. Mismatch of relays between clients can make it go out of sync but Nostur will offer to restore on startup
I’ve removed the last 2 builds from TestFlight because of some crashes related to the imposter checker, will have a fix out later
#[0]
Probably related to the imposter checker, I will put an update out later
it adds the label if both the following is true:
- you are not following the contact
- it has a 80% similar name and profile picture as someone you already follow
#Nostur update (TestFlight)
Imposter check improvements:
- Show label on all feeds instead of only profile
- Also catches if name is 80% similar
- Cache the result of the imposter check
Fixed: Undo send missing on replies
Fixed: Duplicate follower notifications

It would be better. The current Explore tab was a temporary solution to help with onboarding, it shows posts of people followed by @npub147a…lgyz
I haven’t updated it in a while
This was fixed in yesterdays update 1.4.0 (135) or do you still have this issue?
#Nostur 1.4.0 is now on the App Store
New since 1.3.0:
- Added Imposter label for accounts with similar name/profile pic as someone you already follow
- Added Last seen label on profiles
- Improved support for long form article replies
- Many bug fixes and performance improvements
https://nostur.com/screenshots/c/nostur-app-screenshot.png
App Store: https://nostur.com/appstore
Non-App Store: (with zaps on posts): https://nostur.com/desktop
very strange, no I have not seen this before.
btw, you said you are running it on an Intel Mac? Because last time I tried I couldn’t figure out how to make it available for Intel and I don’t have an Intel to test. Turns out it already works? Are you using the non-app store version?
I have seen name, displayName, display_name, username. It’s a bit of a mess and it should only be name as specified in nip-01 imo.
The only username in nostr is the npub and the nip05 nostr address makes the npub human readable or easy to find.
From Nostur I have already removed all the names except these above.
hmmm this shouldn’t be that hard to implement, I think I might add this
I’ll look into showing the QR, should be possible. I was using BlueWallet desktop before NWC.
That doesn’t look right indeed, will check
https://nostrcheck.me/media/public/nostrcheck.me_3906319812957602171690262639.webp

Yes depends on the most recent event you can find on any relay
I was a bit hesitant to add it:

Coupled translator will probably come at some point
#Nostur update (TestFlight)
- Added "Last seen" label on profiles
- Improved support for replies on long form articles
- Improved scrolling to specific post in thread when opening detail
- Opening DM now scrolls to most recent message
- Fixed nip05/lud06/16 not fetching on profile overlay card
- Fixed bug where some DM conversations could not be loaded
- Fixed clear search button not visible
- Fixed reconnection issue

You have to zap from the profile now:
#note1x3f…3nf9
Proof of Work doesn't solve spam because spammers have more PoW than regular users. In Bitcoin it is effective because its 1 against the cumulative PoW of all others. Also, its effective against redoing history, not spam - see ordinals.
There is no cumulative PoW in nostr, so easy win for the spammers.
This is great thank you. I’ll try to create the filter mostly based on scanning the post content because fetching all the likes/zaps can become a bit intensive with many posts.
Some thoughts I haven’t fully crystallised yet:
**Nostur Mission**
Enable the freedom to communicate
Reach should be the result of how many people want or don’t want to listen to your message, there is no reason for a third party or algorithm to be required in this equation.
You should be in control of what you can or cannot see. Who you block should be up to you.
Ideally Nostur tries to reduce the need to require or trust any third party in other to communicate, unless there is no other way.
**BUT**
Nostur is built for iPhone, iPad and Mac users. In one way this is a limitation, (eg zap restrictions by Apple) but if we are using the Apple ecosystem already we might as well use it to our advantage.
Nostur's target audience already trusts Apple with their data, their messages, photos, calendar, reminders, security cameras, etc.
We don’t need to store our data on random relays, and hope our contact list doesn’t get lost, or leak metadata to the public. We can store everything on our device, and sync using iCloud, it is reliable and we already use it for far more important data anyway. Converting Apple users to Android or GrapheneOS is an uphill battle, I applaud people who take that route, but its not for Nostur users, we have people saying don't trust the media, don't use twitter, don't use iPhone, if we keep going we end up sending smoke signals in a circle. As for interoperability, we can still publish or export using nostr native formats so you can use your data in another nostr app.
Nostur will publish to relays, but our data is own our device first, iCloud second, and third party relays third. And you can still use a personal private relay for yourself if you want.
With this in mind, Nostur tries to let relays just be relays, not personal storage. Using relays for storage might end up centralising nostr, in the same way email, which used to be decentralised, is now mostly hosted by google and microsoft.
If you disagree with this mission or direction, Nostur's source is released under GPL-3.0 license, so feel free to fork and create a different version.
Ultimately, the goal of Nostur is not to get more people to use Nostur, but to get more people to use nostr.
Tap and hold on Following tab to hide replies and only show top level posts
One thing I want to add to Nostur is a “noise” filter, I haven’t decided exactly how to do this but the use case is this:
I open Nostur after a while, the unread counter on the main feed says 600, with one tap I want to filter GM’s, PV’s, and other “noise”, leaving me with just 50 unread posts.
Basically a What Did I Miss filter. Ideas and suggestions are welcome
Using the non-app store version with zaps on posts too! 😀
If you run into any issues let me know
Yes should be most recent, I will fix that
hmmm why? Maybe they misunderstood? or maybe another reviewer will come back and ask me to change it...
I put this in the reviewer note when I submitted:
“As requested and discussed on the phone, I have removed the tipping feature (zaps) from posts and made sure it is only available from the Content Creator's profile.”
You can still zap from the profile, takes 1 extra tap, its the best I can do within Apple guidelines

- Share screenshots of posts
- Improved zap amount selector
- Show previous name when someone changes their profile name
- Enabled nsec keychain sync with iCloud (only if enabled in iPhone settings)
Other:

The replies only have a reference to the root, not to the previous reply in the thread so they are not rendered as a single thread in Nostur
Just received a call from Apple, I have to remove zaps from posts in the next version
#Nostur update (TestFlight)
- Improved rendering of quoted posts in quoted posts
- Fixed linking to @ note1.. in new post
- Show when long form article is updated
- Fixed Post Preview not showing entire post if too long
- Fixed Web of Trust spam filter not loading after account switch
- Added custom relay field when connecting to self hosting nsecBunker

Would be great to be able to buy relay vouchers that I can share with others
I would integrate it in the onboarding proces, if a voucher code is entered they get setup automatically with a high quality paid relay
hmm what am I missing? How do I find which relay the bunker is listening on with just my npub?
Is there a nip or standard to make it easy to connect with a self hosted nsecBunker, maybe add the relay to the token that is copy pasted?
The attitude of some people…
https://nostrcheck.me/media/public/nostrcheck.me_7306740646497940701688286045.webp
There is no 1 true count, some count all, some apply a spam filter. nostr.band is pretty well connected you can check that: https://nostr.band/?q=npub1h88z7vfm7mnaz94gn2p2a5psaduzkphrf2pndtxa4xvsd6zpzg8qajhqta
Apps scan relays and sum the result, different data from different relays can lead to different results
I haven’t tried iOS17 yet, I’ll try it out later, does it happen randomly or always at the same action?
Should work like this:

You can use this to paste an unsigned nostr event from somewhere else so you don't have to risk leaking your key.
I use it myself sometimes to try other nostr web apps, I don't trust the browser environment to keep my key safe, but with the Nostore extension you can enter a random key and when it needs a signature you can copy poste the unsigned event in the Nostur Signer, it will replace the author and signature of the unsigned event with the one from your Nostur account and then you can publish from there.
It's a bit technical because I initially just made it as a small convenience thing for myself but then put it there in case anyone else finds it useful

Direct download: https://nostur.com/Nostur-1.1.0.dmg
Well the latest Nostur update, which makes zapping easier with NWC is currently rejected on the App Store, but not because of Zaps but because the reviewer could not find out why Nostur needs background audio permissions. (It's required for Picture-in-Picture video playback, which is also in the update)
Feels like the review department is ran by interns.

Hey sorry this happened 😞 I have put some effort into making sure it fetches your latest follow list at start and keeps it recent, I will have to investigate in what situation this still happens, I thought it had been fixed before because I haven't heard of this issue in a while since the last fix.
I'm guessing there was still an issue fetching your latest list, and then when you follow someone new it adds it to the last known older list. I'll probably disable the Follow button unless its 100% sure a follow list has been fetched.
Nostur keeps a local copy of your followers so you can restore them if another client publishes an older list, unfortunately this only works when Nostur is your main client and not the other way around.
I hope you still keep trying Nostur, but I can understand if you don't want to.

I haven't gotten around to implementing NIP-65 (Relay List Metadata) yet so Nostur doesn’t publish any of the relays you add.
Nostur has been accepted for release on the App Store.
I expected a rejection and having to adjust some things for approval after seeing the hell #[0] had to go through a few months ago, but to my surprise no rejection.
I even submitted it knowing there are a few bugs I still have to fix before release, thinking I would have time to fix them during the rejection phase.
I’ve put the release on hold to fix the remaining bugs and will submit the version for release later today.
https://nostrcheck.me/media/public/nostrcheck.me_1013898773181703181685372486.webp

Oh I didn’t know that, I will check how to fix that
This is true, even the first ones from 2020, my M1 air screen got broken recently, I checked if it was worth it to upgrade to the newer ones but ended up buying the same M1 air from 2020 again
Yea it requires M1 or later to run on macOS

New #Nostur update
What started as small bug fixes now become a bit of a big overhaul of how Nostur loads and renders things. I spent the last few days changing many things under the hood. Everything should feel faster now, especially when the caches are loaded. If you are trying Nostur for the first time, give it a moment to warm up the caches, after that everything should be fast.
Other changes:
- Profile media: load most recent media first
- Add ‘show more’ for posts too long
- Added support for kind 1063 images
- Fixed lnurl decoding
At least its not vSTONKS 😝
https://nostrcheck.me/media/public/nostrcheck.me_3452926273020733361683518393.jpg
My focus now is trying to get the crashes to 0, I made an error in build 68 that caused a lot of crashes, should be better now. Still trying wrap my head around multithreading and multiple core data contexts in Swift, I didn’t know any of this when I started with Nostur, learning as I go…

New #Nostur update
Added image prefetching
Fixed @mentions bug
Fixed restrict auto download setting
Available on TestFlight: https://testflight.apple.com/join/TyrRNCXA
Likes are not entirely meaningless; they may have a low signal, but that doesn't mean there is no signal at all in them. I think most negativity surrounding likes comes from their use as statistic on posts. But there is another perspective, which is likes given by a user.
I'm not interested in whether a post has 10 or 1000 likes, but I am interested in going to someones profile and seeing what they liked.
Some people don't like to reply or comment, but do want to share that they liked something.
And even if someone likes everything, that is also a signal - it indicates that this person's likes are worthless.
That’s what I thought also but it appears I broke the whole mention thing when adding picture posting. Update with fix coming soon
Glad you like it 👍
I see from your post I have to fix a @mention bug

This is any events coming from relays, could be lots of duplicates if its done and nothing changes on screen, or multiple relays sending the same events, especially when just starting up and its trying to catch up and also getting posts you already have.
I need to change it so its less confusing but not sure how yet

This restore relies on Nostur already having your contacts before, so if a relay gives you a new contact list Nostur compares it to own list and offers to restore.
It could be an app that did not fetch all your contacts, and then it publishes a new following list missing all your previous contacts. The relays just keep the most recent one.

I was using Twitter for years without algo, it says I follow 0 people and my For You tab is empty but I follow many people through curated lists. The only useful algorithm for me would be "What did I miss?" and it should only be from my lists. I'm working on bringing this to Nostur.

#[1]
New Nostur update on TestFlight:
- Added private notes that you can attach to posts or people
https://testflight.apple.com/join/TyrRNCXA
Did you find something wrong?
Probably because this #[1] its a known limitation of zaps, either we allow fake zaps or block zapper keys that can’t be trusted, which do you prefer?
That is just a feature request for the client, some clients will have it, some won’t. Some browsers block ads by default, others have adblocker extensions, that is not censorship.
On Nostr content moderation is decentralized, different relays can allow different content, same for different clients. This is different from Twitter, where 1 entity decides for everyone what is allowed or not.
Content moderation, or censorship as you call it will always exist, if you don’t like it use a different relay, different client or build your own.
It seems something went wrong trying to load your following list on setup, how many does it say you are following on the left side menu? If 0 you can try to remove your account and add it again, it will try to find your existing list from the relays and load it again
No new posts at the bottom of the feed either?
New Nostur update on TestFlight:

Yes will be added soon to @npub1n0stur7q092gyverzc2wfc00e8egkrdnnqq3alhv7p072u89m5es5mk6h0
I think its having trouble finding your profile, you could try adding some relays first and then remove/add your account again
feedback @ nostur.com or through TestFlight is also possible
Easier tagging coming in the next update
https://nostur.com/screenshots/tagging.gif
I will probably change the delete/sign out flow and explanations a bit because nostr is different from what people are used to.
The account (key) is stored on your device, in the app. When you delete it its really deleted from the app but your published profile and posts are still online, but you can no longer change your profile or post anything new, unless you also have your account (key) still in another app.
hmm sorry I think I broke pasting @notes
To sign out: go to home tab, tap on your profile at the top left, then tap the elipses to see all accounts, swipe on the account you want to sign out

I don’t have a way to send/receive DM’s in Nostur yet, it’s a bit low on my priority list because DM’s on nostr leak too much metadata right now
Should be like #[0] described. In older versions its the accounts button there, in the new version ellipses
I’ll install the iOS 15 simulator tomorrow so see if this is an easy fix or days of rewriting
I’ve removed the nostr: URL scheme for now, easier for me now on TestFlight than for #[1] to wait on Apples review process again
In earlier versions I had this but ran into issues with Apple’s frameworks. I will eventually get it back with an option but it will take some time.
New Nostur update on TestFlight with:

Wow thanks for the zap #[1] !
in nostr? not sure what you mean but could be related to this #[1]
I see. I’m parsing “a” as the reference id to the kind:30009 event, so literally just the id. hmm
Hmm I don’t see anything… is the “a” tag in your 30008 event supposed to look like that or did I implement the spec wrong?
I found what caused this, will be fixed in next update!
Its stored in iOS keychain
I think both clients handle the nostr: url scheme and iOS just picks the last app. I use a seperate scheme to keep any @user/@note tap inside the app, probably #[1] could do the same?
It’s on my todo list. For now you can use these steps: #[1]
Thanks! I started working on it January this year almost non stop

The relay you are using for the DM can be common but the note you are sharing can be on a relay the recipient doesn’t have. So they see the DM but don’t know where to fetch the note, which is what you described happened
common with the sender and receiver*
What if the note you are sharing is from a relay that is not common with the sender?
the sharing client should include relay information and the receiving client needs to be able to parse and follow that
many clients don’t support that yet (NIP19)

Can be solved with slightly delayed publish under the hood
Can be solved with slightly delayed publish under the hood
It can work if enough clients and relays adopt the spec, just to hide it, but there will always be “undeleters”, if its sent its sent
It’s the relays that have risk of centralization. Switching clients is easy but when the everybody is connected to 1 big relay nostr will be no different from twitter
Kind 10002 / NIP-65 makes sense
Yes stacker.news has the pubkey as part of setup for receiving zaps. Probably a bug on their side, its nothing that can’t be fixed
