What is the "normie proof" setup for outbox?
Having to explain what each type of relay does (read, write, inbox, outbox, general, search) is never going to work to onboard newbs.
Is there a NIP to pull entire relay setups? Maybe that helps.
#nevent1q…0lsz

2025-06-13 13:09:08 GMT

What is the best relay setup, paid or free?
I'm using nostr.wine (filter.nostr.wine and inbox.nostr.wine) with Amethyst on mobile and Coracle on desktop.
Intention is to have one relay connection I trust, that takes care of aggregation, spam filtering and broadcasting my notes correctly.
But I've been having issues on and off for months: sometimes notes do not load, other times my notes never reach the relay. I talked to @nprofile…pt5w and to @nprofile…e4xw , both responsive but can't figure out why. I don't have time to keep debugging - it should just work. And now, Coracle is "Waiting to connect" on both filter and inbox, so can't even read mazin's reply or answer back.
Nostrudel is completely broken with this setup, and Primal has other problems.
So, go back to the left curve solution and add the 10 biggest free relays?

How do you deal with LLMs cheating and lying?
I'm crystal clear in my prompts. And it's the n-th time I ask it to implement some code and it hardcodes values, uses tools only meant to contrast values in tests, and so on. To add insult to injury it celebrates when it completed its shit implementation!
When you call it out, it apologizes. Even the apology response drains money.
By the way, Claude Sonnet 4 lately is dumber than ever. Maybe being rugged somewhere?
Are there any parameters or specific language you use to prevent this?

How do I query a relay for multiple event IDs that are replaceable?
I need to query 50+ pairs (pubkey1, appid1), (pubkey2, appid2)... (pubkey50, appid50) for a fixed kind.
Do I need to make 50+ separate requests? One request with 50+ filters?
Or should we make {ids: ...} recognize replaceable IDs in relays?

That's fair, but it doesn't seem like a huge improvement with respect to the current situation where accounts are psuedonymous and cost nothing to create. And it does introduce new problems.

Default configurations have a strong effect as most node runners just keep them unchanged.
What if we reduced the friction?
We could have a small nostr tool to copy node configs (for relay policy and such) from our web of trust.

The mind blowing part here is not my unix tool, it is showing that nostr is a practical decentralized alternative to Usenet NZBs (torrents are a different thing)
- Blossom servers do not need to store a whole large video file
- Blossom servers do not need to stream an entire large file
- Blossom operators have plausible deniability in terms of content as the segments are encrypted (and they may not have all) and they don't control the key
- Video clients now have mutiple failovers if a segment is stored in multiple servers
- There are bandwidth savings if the video is not watched entirely
- Content creators can exchange the AES key against a zap

I just built a tool.
Video on-demand from encrypted chunks on multiple Blossom servers 🤯
If you have (or can install) nak, nodejs, ffmpeg can you check it works for you?
nak req --id ec1688e87843e8774d1813c371fe65af890be090bdb831f03ceefdd2144ad679 wss://relay.damus.io | npx --yes github:franzaps/n2m3u8 | ffmpeg -f hls -allowed_extensions ALL -protocol_whitelist file,http,https,tcp,tls,crypto,fd -i - -f mpegts - | mpv -
This:
- Fetches a nostr event with hashes of video chunks
- Input into my tool that finds the working chunks in Blossom servers and outputs a HLS playlist
- Input to ffmpeg that decrypts and decodes the stream
- Input to video player. (Replace mpv with vlc or other video player, can also save to a video file)
Volume UP!

I'm confused, why would you do that? npub.world is a product for end users. If you want to compete with it, you can use Vertex DVMs (or any other) from client, server or wherever you want.

I built it that way because speed is more important than interoperability for npub.world which obviously will never use any other DVM as it's a Vertex product.

If your app won't be relaying events then relays are not the right tool... The storage interface I designed could act as a relay though (saving events intact) or otherwise can optimize the data format for local consumption

The entities used in this demo are fake/dummy ones. Nothing is actually being fetched from nostr.
Soon, 1 extra line of code and a config update to that codebase will make it 100% relay based.

There is value in here though, that's why I come back but I'm strongly wishing for higher signal, lower noise, healthier interfaces.
Less screen, more information density, more consideration of the context (i.e. what is my mood, what am I looking for, how much time I got,...) and new ways of discovering content.
LLMs and VUIs will somehow help us improve the situation.

2025-04-20 18:09:19 GMT

Infinite anything is bad, even without an "algorithm".
Nostr has not fixed this, on the contrary kind 1 feeds are the most developed form of nostr.
Having virtually infinite content of a thousand different topics pulls your attention in so many directions... no way this is healthy.

I look forward to a wave of privacy-first voice-user interface apps.
Tech that helps us detox from so much screen time.
I want an audio only nostr client, that can give me a summary of my feed or community chat. Then it records a post, maybe even help me during the drafting process.
I want another app that produces a weekly summary of my feed, and interesting articles, ready to print out, for a paper read at the park.

My biggest gripe with Flutter is the leaky abstraction.
Specifically for Android, being too exposed to the underlying layer of Java, XML and Gradle, which are time-tested but old, ugly pieces of software, designed by developers who have no interest in beauty.
If a low level error bubbles up, it should be caught by Flutter and a proper explanation and fixing steps provided - in Flutter conf. 95% of those are wicked, cryptic messages that are time consuming even with the help of LLMs, and providers of great annoyance.
The best thing going for it is the integration of Kotlin, a beautifully designed language that does a great job of reducing the prevalent ugliness in a typical Android dev stack.

This is a bit exaggerated, but if I had to find a reason it is: lack of great tools for communities.
Nostr today has only one real great UX and value prop: a Twitter replacement.
We need multiple forms of onramps not just one. Onramping new people also means solving their problems, not our imaginary ones.
Not saying communities is easy or wasn't attempted by smart devs but it's reality.

Agree that some compute needs to be done server side, the advantage of doing it locally is privacy. Maybe you don't want to advertise which books/articles you're reading, or doing it 100% offline.

How come 3 years into nostr we don't even have a single shitty Reddit/forum clone?
I never got to understand the low level stuff of "communities" but guys - aren't we overthinking and overengineering this?
I mean Reddit. Forum. Stack overflow. Hacker news. Stacker.news.
A basic title and a markdown body upon opening it. Replies/zaps to those items. We have WoT tools, we have blacklists on relays. What else is possibly needed?
NOT chat or Discord. NOT a feed where main content is listed (what i see on Amethyst/satellite). Totally different UX.
