Last Notes npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant please dont. If anything, the more OTS is normalized, the less opportunity schizo's have to see all kinds of patterns/risks in them that are not there. npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Newyear and Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays, 2026 edition npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant If you want to reference something in nostr, be that people or posts or whatever, you paste the thing after "nostr:" So you can have an 'nevent1' string (thats a nostr event) or a 'npub1' or 'nprofile1' string (thats people) and you paste that behind 'nostr:' and get: #nevent1q…8sjh npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant The previous post did not have the issue, so strange indeed. Thank you for scheduling another post, perhaps it helps to figure it out. Do you have the name/url of the thing you are using? I shared the issue with the jungle spirit, lets see what he has to say about it. npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Hey, with what client did you create this post, and did you do anything different than what you otherwise do? Something weird happened with your post that i'd like to troubleshoot/figure out :) npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant oh hey, another guy that loves Nostr without even knowing it (i think, atleast) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4VmnhJGdSM0 npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Just out of sheer heuristics you'd expect there is a price to pay, but from the stuff i have seen the risks/consequences atleast appear to be surprisingly/unexpectedly minimal, including the ability to get off the drug at some point without lasting effect. Now i would not be surprised/i'd expect for some 'oops' moment to occur eventually, but 🤷♂️. Not advocating for the crap here, but given what is known currently combined with how unhealthy being a fat ass is, i understand the hype, even outside of some greedy agenda pushing said hype. What indications of risk/consequences are you aware of? npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Precedence is just some specter in your mind, ignoring what was already potentially possible to begin with. I think ossification is a descriptive, just a thing that happens over time with size and decentralization. Im saying it wont effect me next time either, because i have censorship resistance....and so do you. npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant How does it undermine Bitcoin's censorship resistance? How is it that YOU, and by extension every other actor, lost their ability to resist censorship? npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant I thought i already gave the app all the permissions under the sun, including claiming the soul of my first born child...but il look at it again. npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant What non-altruistic reason do you have to not comply? Are you satoshi? The only reason i can come up with is the assessment many other people are oblivious to what their interests are, and as a result it would cause confusion, or atleast fertile grounds to sow confusion, which would be undesirable; which is fair, given you yourself thusfar are an excellent demonstration of the lack of such insight. Then again, if such confusion is significant enough the (soft)fork itself would probably not be a succes to begin with. npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant I tried it a while ago, and somehow the tracking stopped, so after ended my walk it claimed i only walked a couple meters during that hour🙃. Will look at it again tomorrow npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Sir, thats a walk, not a run 🤣 npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Look, i get the discomfort, but how i read Odel's statement is 'satoshi gave everyone a suit of armor, but for the sake of the people that decided to not wear/use it, lets all be nice and just agree to be nice and not hit eachother'. Regardless of the context (i understand this particular context is quantum stuff, but i just reason from 'lets fuck up satoshis million because we can' for example) i think that is a very 'un-bitcoiner' position to take. npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Generally fair point, although i'd say it is reasonable to assume that the information of a reduced total opposed to the uncertainty of dormancy would, ultimately, effect behavior/price. As for any particular proposal, i did not follow any debate, im simply reasoning against the statement made by Odell, and in general my point would be that any contention would be short lived compared to the long term effect of a structural supply reduction (i can wait a few years). npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant No, a decentralized conspiracy based on converging interests (because that is the only practical way this can play out in the real world, given how everything irt Bitcoin and markets etc works), forking away particular sitting duck btc, does indeed NOT undermine the censorship resistance of Bitcoin that was based on the divergence of interests and the inability to effectively coordinate. Indeed cool, because we all get relatively richer. You have to actually reason this stuff through in terms of how this would play out: What are the requirements for such a ''decentralized conspiracy based on converging interests' to occur? A big component is that it requires absolutely passive btc just sitting there, doing nothing, not resisting anything, otherwise this 'decentralized conspiracy based on converging interests' can't effectively target anything. i.e. the fact that no resistance against censorship took place indeed means that censorship resistance was not undermined, its not that complicated actually. npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant I dont mistunderstand anything, your confusion is this notion that btc could potentially succesfully be put off the table/cencored would mean an undermining of the censorship resistance; it doesnt. The btc that gets censored is btc that never resisted; if it did, if it would resist, it would not get censored. Bitcoin does not promis censor-impossibility, if that were true we would not have this discussion in the first place. What is better than 21 million? 20 million is better than 21 million. How would it hurt the value of Bitcoin, if we all effectively hold the dagger when backstabbing the sitting duck btc, doing so because we all realize we are better off for it? npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant You say "don't conspire because it is not nice based on these principles i hold dear to my squeeshy heart" I say "lets conspire, and see who we can get, because i don't fear conspiracy against me based on the practical reality i can defend myself" npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant The fact you think that points at the core of your misunderstanding. You can resist censorship, so whenever people conspire to censor you, resist. Its a practical, not a principle matter. npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant After the Internet Archive will burn down, just like the library of Alexandria did in times passed, historians of the future will be forced to perceive the early internet as digital pre-history, and will frame things in terms of Before- and After-Nostr. Don't forget to timestamp your notes kids, signatures are not enough; NIP-03 omnibus esse utendum. https://cdn.satellite.earth/9424ff4efab682b17703d026a0cd9e31cb3f8a5cb0566becc8e452fe9d0aef2b.jpg npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant That took some deciphering, not gonna lie, but i think i understood most of it. As for the homework: where do you think you are? Summer camp? This is cypherpunk bootcamp, we are here bootstrapping a new web from the ground up; ARE YOU A MAN OR A MOUSE!? Have a nice Christmas npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Look, all dozen of us here on Nostr are desperate, might as well own it. npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant @npub14yf…wpyu appears to be back from her hiatus npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant He is a developer from Brazil actually, and a Bitcoiner. So his Bitcoiner developer buddies were first to be informed about the protocol and pick it up and work on it; as a result the innitial community using Nostr are Bitcoiners, as well as decent Bitcoin integration. No idea what your perspective on Bitcoin is, but when i say 'Bitcoiner' i mean the people who stuck with it not so much for the purpose of getting rich but because they figured the world needed censorship resistant money for one reason or another, despite the rest of the world telling them that they were either fools or evil. Nostr is not much the different, welcome to the den of crazy cypherpunks. https://cdn.nakamotoinstitute.org/docs/cypherpunk-manifesto.txt - Eric Hughes 1993 https://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf - Satoshi Nakamoto 2008 https://fiatjaf.com/nostr.html - Fiatjaf 2020 npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant 30something old guy, doing the survey bit out of interest, here: What turns you off from Bluesky? What about that some guy's message surrounding Nostr got you intrigued? What is your experience thus far using Nostr (have your tried other clients yet)? Do you think your peers would take an interest in Nostr? Any comments you might have to add yourself? npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant The best part of my cat is the fact she is not vocal at all and stfu for the most part...the only reason i can probably tollerate having the beast living in my home. npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Depends on the relay and what its curation is based on, assuming it is curated at all🤷♂️ npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant So the feed that also shows peoples replies? Primal, yakihonne, amethyst all have that. Or are you already using that and do you just want them to be more active? Anyway, saying you never will is silly, thats like saying you will only go to twitter dot com and never visit another website like a forum or whatever. 🤷♂️ npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant >Implements private messaging; >>Shares screenshots of said private messages publicly. npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant You are not all that worth engaging is what i am saying, but the point seems to fly over your head. npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant My dude, just saying, you are giving real 'i just learned about Nostr and i am here to fix it' fibes. How about you lurk moar? npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant The positive expression of censorship resistance is freedom of association npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant In time, you will learn the ways of the relay-feed. @nprofile…txr6 will show you the way, she is also worth a follow in general. npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Try relay feeds. npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant I think clients could pick up the ball here as well. for example, i could just be prompted by the client whenever i upload a picture, if i want it to be a kind20, that is then referenced in the kind 1 post im making or not. Now what the language/explanation should be around that, i dont know, i think all normies should be banned from using computers to begin with, so let those that sympathize with the Hoi polloi figure that out. npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant This immediately makes clear why Kind hygiene is important. There is a picture field/box, and what does it do? Just scrape whatever picture i shared in my kind 1 notes. As a result, there is a powerrangers and spooky ghost gif in there that i used in some reply somewhere. Instead, that box should be kind 20 posts, i.e. actual intentional pictures that i shared, not the random collection of stuff that is scraped off of the heap of sticky-notes that is kind1. There is actually a lot more to be said about this whole ''your space'' endeavour (i think it just needs an entire new profile-kind, because kind0 is more a business card than a profile), but one thing at a time npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Yeah its awesome. Afaik you have to thank @npub107j…ncxg npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant So....winamp npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant We should call it an idea and woble wave our arms and make ghost noises *whoooohoooohooo* 👻 https://media4.giphy.com/media/d49yjN5gOwBZfRuM/200w.webp npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Thnx for joining! 💜 npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Going to start the presentation in 5 minutes #note1x80…0gal npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Join us tomorrow 16th of December at 20:00 UTC (21:00 CET) on our monthly public call where we discuss what we are doing at the Web of Trust Foundation, and how we plan to build an adequate and safe online environment for children. I will be giving the first public presentation on TEPP, the Trust Extended Permissions Protocol which will be at the heart of what we are constructing. We will join the room a half hour in advance on hivetalk: https://honey.hivetalk.org/meet/login?room=Kubo.watch See you then and there. #nevent1q…cl2d npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant You can mount Nostr as a FUSE filesystem in NAK. npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Who do you think came up with it in the first place npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant albeit that things can be reasoned through in advance, or reasoning by others can be assessed, instead of just ''trusting''; fair enough, such hard ways make for the best foundations anyway :) npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Was this not the observation Dorsey made that brought him to remove his bluesky account? npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Sir, build your own treehouse will ya, the forest here is permissionless for a reason. npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant ''neutral carrier'' is just another political position, and as such dependent on political conviction (for example expressed by law); protocols would do well not to depend on such things. #nevent1q…ah2r npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Ah you stumbled into the next step on your journey, which will be installing Amber. But before you do that, you will have to tell me how far you want to stumble into the rabbit hole at this stage🧐🐇. It won't be extra complicated per se, just more steps with better results. So, will it be the google playstore bluepill, or do you want to see how deep the rabbit hole goes? https://blossom.primal.net/ad89354d3b43fb6b4497b90307c1f034b00397e81fba9d108f7544e8f7fa02cf.jpg npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Also note your picture is now part of that picture/video feed tab in amethyst, whereas your other post are not because they are sticky-notes (kind1) with pictures, instead of explicit picture events(kind20). https://blossom.primal.net/8dc1bcc57f0fee6add3594db98cd33b061e36b58c0a9a5688cdb8e0055ceab46.jpg As for the redering, i.e. 1 picture being horizontal: this is a choice amethyst makes. Other apps might decide to display it completely differently, it is not something you can controll really. Someone could make an app where they would all be spinning around, or display them in some VR gallery as if they are paintings on a wall, or as little portraits inside a clowncar...if that makes any sense. You are not ON amethyst, you USE amethyst to produce a publication, that can be viewed and commented on with a large variety of apps. Nostr. npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Yeah boosting/quoting will get it on the notes feed. You can see the pictures themselves in the gallery tab now: https://image.nostr.build/2e7f16f3d6c18340af9665100e8a269fb17427c53cbfb1076979f0f8181f3fcf.jpg npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Amethyst, perfect! I made a screenshot with dictating blue arrows that ought to be sufficient to get you where you need to be. https://image.nostr.build/af9b0319ddbe659dc2c989e8b65803cf2d5b86fde9d5c31b1ba493901ee50306.jpg Try uploading images this way. Kinds in Nostr are just the formats you use to publicize things, making it clear what it is supposed to be. In this instance, kind20 is for pictures. This means that apps that are similar to instagram for example (or perhaps somelike like pintrest, or whatever you can imagine that involves pictures), can now find all your pictures based on that kind. At some point in the future when you hopefully start using all sorts of apps it will make sense. npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Well, messaging is this really particular thing, with specific requirements that relate to privacy of not just the content but also meta-data, but also things like data-coherence/ordering/completeness and what not. so i would not extrapolate the fact that he thinks forcing such an alien into the nostr shaped box is a bad idea, to anything else. npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant I don't like to play this card, and i won't pretend its the be all end all pokerhand to end all debate/discussion/conversation...but insofar 'meant to be' is concerned. #nevent1q…czwy npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Hi Claire, Nostr is what you make of it; its not a place, its a method. Regarding said method, your current publications are currently 'short text notes', or what we call 'kind 1'. Think of these as tweets, or the universal post-it notes of Nostr. Their feature is that they are featureless; nothing fancy is expected of them, and as such you can expect every Nostr app to deal with them. Yet what you are doing is posting pictures, and we do in fact have dedicated kinds for that, such as kind 20. That kind does have features related to pictures, and apps dedicated to showing pictures can on the one hand leverage those features, and on the other hand filter all the stuff you posted (be it pictures or this introductions post, whatever else you decide to do) based on said kind number. You might think: but what i am doing right now works, what is the asshole bugging me about. Yes, well, sure, but in the long term you will have a nice portfolio of pictures on post-it notes(kind 1) burried underneath a large pile of other random post-it notes, instead of having them all on quality canvas(kind 20) inside a beautiful build for purpose gallery(picture apps). What you can always do, is reference the kind20 event inside a kind1 event, as type of advertisement. I hope i make some sense... That being said: what app are you using and on what platform(browser, iOS, android etc?) and lets see if we can figure out what would be the easiest for you to get going. npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Nostr always was a way to interface with servers, that as a consequence carries all these attributes and potentials. The point always was in the relays, and it took me a long while to see that, despite the jungle spirit telling me over and over again. #nevent1q…pzj9 npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Deze hele jeroen/kat arc slaat in beginsel al nergerns op, dus de rest is vervolgens volstrekt logisch npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Since a short while i have started a Nostr Propaganda Explainer Podcast Tour. I think i have done 6 of them now, and two of them have been released iirc . There is not much rhyme or reason to the nature of these podcasts other than that they were willing to have me on and talk about the woes of centralized platforms and Nostr as an alternative. I basically accept any stage that is offered. On these shows I just explain the nature of things, but don't do any call to action or step by step directions to onboard people; i am there to familiarize the audience with the concepts/new paradigm and create awareness. I don't share my appearances myself, mostly because it is generally the same story each time anyway, although ofcourse there are variations among them. But if you find them in the wild, and liked it, i do ofcourse encourage you to share! PS: If you know of any podcast that might have me on, don't ask me to contact them, ask them to contact me via [email protected] . #note1y6q…d2f4 npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Ribbit🐸 npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Nostr does not make data free; data wants to be free to begin with. It wanted to be free in the times of papyrus, parchment, paper and bits. Thats fine, im a pirate myself, thats not the point. I don't think walling data of is an illegitimate endeavor, be that on a personal level where we call it privacy, or on a business level where it is sold. The fact 'happy flow' systems exist where one party wants something in return for the data they provide and the other party is willing to oblige to receive it, is fine; if you ask me, the fact that the unavoidable reality is that data wants to be free and as a result piracy will occur, is a matter of IS, not OUGHT. Piracy for me has always been a path of less friction, but i don't really share your apparent moral presuppositions that it is some inherrent virtue (although at times it can be, depending...) Insofar the 'spirit' of Nostr is concerned, this system neither locks things into a particular relay, nor a particular client; it adheres to the commandment of interoperability and is therefor 'kosher'/'halal' or whatever. In the name of freedom of association, by self determined term and self determined means; amen. npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant This is a fundamental misunderstanding of Nostr. #nevent1q…ah2r npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Multiple relays can declare that they are nip63 complient; can you be sure in advance? No, but lying is bad business generally so i suspect its a marginal issue on the whole npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Well, it cant, but a service could receive a bunkerlink from the creator, where the creators bunker/remote signer only allows for the automatic signage of such lists events npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant De Nieuwe Wereld: Verlichtingsfestival.

In practice this would be more or less explicit pirate relays npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant forgot the link: https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/404db206e6cf246cd64173731de10f2ef70df302/63.md npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant So there is a NIP63 now, that is called ''Relay-based Paywalls'', but should be called Relay-based access control or something like that. Doesn't really matter, the point is this: A creator has 'premium' content, i.e. content that for some reason should only be provided to particular people. The creator gives a list of these people to a relay, and then the relay is supposed to enforce this. There is room for a little bit more complexity to allow for more fancy situations, but this is the basic premise. I would like to briefly explain the reasoning behind this set-up. First lets point out that the system is agnostic towards the reason someone is one the 'premium-list', as the name of the NIP suggests it could be a 'pay-wall', but it is up to the content creator to figure out why and how people get on that list. It could be because he got paid (in zaps, or via creditcard or gold coins), or because people publicly follow the creator, or because people pinned a post expressing their eternal devotion, love and praise to the glory of the content creator; it does not matter, as long as the content creator is compelled to put you on the list. This puts responsibility on the content creator to figure out the logistics of maintaining this list, which could be a bot they run themselves, or some service provider that helps them do it. Assuming there will be more than 1 relay supporting this NIP, the content creator has the 'same'(albeit in theory a bit more limited) flexibility in terms of using redundant relays and switching when needed. The whole point of the system is to make it such that the experience and flow on the side of the audience is as smooth as possible. From their perspective, they just follow the content creator and get the 'free' content, up until the point they performed the required action to be put on the list, after which they now magically also get the 'premium' content; this works for any client, any kind for as long as they remain on the premium-list. Other than being not completely retarded in handling AUTH procedures irt the relay, which should not be the case to begin with, the client-software needs nothing special for this to work. When i say that the experience and flow on the side of the audience is as smooth as possible, i don't mean just in a Nostr context, i mean in general. I can't think of any possible scenario which is better; regardless what app you use, or decide to use later and regardless the purpose of these apps, it works. RSS based podcasting can't do this, nothing can. Nostr npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Had al gezegd dat NAK 't antwoord op alles was, maarja.... npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Hi! Fyi, you are using Damus, you are not on Damus. If what i am saying does not make sense, download another app like yakihonne and use the same keys, and it will. Goodluck npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant NAK staat voor Nostr Army Knife en is een command line interface client waar je vrijwel alles mee kan, mits je technisch aangelegd bent. Één van die dingen is het inladen van een filesystem dat je door Nostr events en profielen laat gaan dmv een mappen structuur, waarbij jouw npub een mapje is met daarin allemaal mapjes per event-kind, alsof het bestanden zijn. Had gehoopt dat het schroeven en verschillende soorten schroevendraaiers 't punt had duidelijk gemaakt, en als zodanig dus ook dat het niet slechts semantiek is. Als je bookmarks wil zien, gebruik je apps die met bookmarks om kunnen gaan🤷♂️ Wat je als gebruiker allemaal wil, met of zonder technische achtergrond zal mij een rotzorg zijn, die sympathie zal je bij developers moeten zoeken. Ik ben afdeling 'dit is hoe het zit'. npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Hahahahahaha my attempt was very, very similar other than that i had the first and last letter from the get go. We never had chance gigi. Let me guess you last attempt was the sticky stuff...same🙄 npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Ik weet niet welke vraag je nou precies stelt. (Het antwoord is NAK overigens, want het antwoord op alles is altijd NAK). Simpelweg omdat ik niet weer of het argeloos taalgebruik is of dat er spraken is van een misverstand Vraag je of je kan zien welke spijkers, schroeven en nietjes je allemaal ooit gezet hebt? Of vraag je of je kan achterhalen of je de schroeven met de Stanley handschoevendraaier, de DeWalt accuboor of je Makita klopboor er in hebt gedraait? Je voegt bookmarks niet toe OP pinstr, maar MET pinstr; je hebt geen boeken OP bookstr.xyz, maar ooit geindexeerd MET bookstr.xyz etc. Sommige clients verwerken een melding van zichzelf in een tag in de events, i.e. er hangt een label aan de schroef waar op staat welk stuk gereedschap er gebruikt is om het er ooit in de draaien (sent from my iPhone), het staat clients vrij om dat te doen maar is opzich geen conventie. Als die tag er is kan je het daar aan afzien, anders niet. Vanuit NAK kan je ook een FUSE filesystem laden, en vanuit dat perspectief events bekijken/browsen. Uit mn hoofd krijg je dan folders per kind als subfolders onder je npub (maar kan het mis hebben). Goodluck npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Your mistake is using autocorrect in the first place npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Yet.....no googly eyes. https://media3.giphy.com/media/f72BA6kQXT4uQ/200w.webp npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Gigi is obviously playing Questr-basic #nevent1q…j9ws npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Nostr's own Bill, making Nostr's own Windows npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant I think we have identified why Nostr sucks; its not Starcraft npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant I am not a morning person😠 npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant In that case, get a browser extension, although if you have an android phone laying around amber is still great regardless. Have a look at jumble in the browser. As far as desktop clients go, i kinda gave up because i did not really like any of them last i checked. Maybe notedeck (damus) improved in the meantime. Whatever, just check nostrapps.com . Also, when you are using jumble, maybe this little vid helps to wrap your mind around things: #nevent1q…x0s6 Lastly again my question, how did you end up at my profile🧐 npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant This is straight up Nostr pr0n. npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant No simple curves here friend, all pretence in that direction is a lie, suck it up and bite that bullet, and you will find the curve was never that hard to begin with. Also, @npub1yzv…rf8q , available for browser, iOS and Android. If you are on Android, get zapstore first. https://zapstore.dev/ Once you got zapstore installed, congrats you are now liberated from the google playstore; Then install amber, you will find it in the zapstore, its a signing app, that allows you to put your key in 1 place and then connect with (most of) all other apps; be that on your phone or browser or your toaster or your mom. Just be sure to give everything full permissions (trust me, makes live just easier, you can always revoke permissions anyway). After that you can find yakihonne in the zapstore as well. Thats a decent set-up that should get you going. If you have an iphone...sorry i have no clue how to deal with such a terrible life choice...but you can still install yakihonne 🤷♂️. Question, how on earth did you end up on my profile? npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Well, it is not a place, Nostr is more like a method to interact on various places; permissionless in all its glory and horror. If you need any pointers, just ask npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant So, how are our australians Nostriches doing on shilling Nostr to the youths over there now that the new law is in effect? I was on some australian podcast last week, but it wont be till the end of jan till it comes out so🤷♂️ npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Disagree, a follow does not imply association, i can follow someone or something for a wide variety of reasons, all the way up to it being an accident and therefor completely meaningless (because someone was included in a followpack for example). Two mortal enemies might 'follow' eachother, but that in no way means they associate with eachother, on the contrary. Next mutual follows are asychronous, whereas establishing a 'friend'ship is a synchronous occurance. Lastly the point of musig2 is efficiency compressing it into a single event, instead of two. So the difference is that a 'friend'ship is one deliberate concious action between two (or more, how cool is that, gotta love the cryptomagic) in a moment of time. npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Need i remind you that the tornado cash guy was arrested and sentenced in the Netherlands npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant But but but, vitalk says we should not be mean towards to EU 🥺👉👈 npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Kind0 are not actual profiles, they are more like contact cards. There is a giant opportunity here, just saying... npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Nostr has follows, but it does not have 'friends'; difference being follows are unilateral, and friends are bilateral and require some request-accept procedure. Ideally this happens based on musig2 signatures, but since we also want FROST-bunkers to be a regular thing, we would have to rely on participating in musig via FROST, something the crypto-wizards tell me is technically possible, but are quick to add that it is also unknown if it is secure. That means that we would be in uncharted territory, complicating things. The conclusion will probably be that we will end up with an ugly standard, which breaks my heart, but it is what it is...is it? Anyway, bilateral 'friends' constitute a far better basis for WoT stuff than follows do, so, there is that. npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant I can share if i log in...but where/how can i log in? 🤔 npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Houseker, 't hulpje daaro npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Sinterklaas in Luxemburg https://image.nostr.build/84050ef85b164277cf3df7b0fdf783b8add3d654e70167255364ca294e8f845f.jpg npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant I have an idea to upgrade one of the balls 👀 npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant You are right, just regular Nostr client things 💅 npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Very slow clients probably 😅😮💨 npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant That is correct, but we phrase it as 'getting a fresh nose'. So one goes outside with the intention to fetch/get a fresh nose. npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Its something about a nose, i dunno, very weird. npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Dat is nog eens een frisse neus halen npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant I think it is important to note that the USP is not 'decentralization' as such, it is censorship-resistance/decentralization AND network-effect/interoperability. Because that is the problem it fixes; the internet was already permissionless and decentralized, and as a result a rumble and odyssee etc exist next to youtube. But due to the nature of platforms/silos and network-effect dynamics, those 'alternatives' are inherrently marginal. In the current context of these large platforms, freedom of association always means self-marginalization; Nostr's USP is that that is no longer the case (insofar Nostr itself is not marginal). And this applies to the 'platforms'/relays you use AND the apps/clients you use. As such we have a story for all sides, be that content creators, app developers, lurkers, merchants etc. I am on a bit of a Nostr-propaganda-podcast-tour and i notice that all of this does resonate. I subsequently do agree with all the rest of your statement. I am not anxious regarding Nostr's 'growth', because for those that stick around this is conciously a 'final destination', and it ultimately makes sense for most people anyway. npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant These are fighting words
