pretty sure we only need to convince the right 10 people to move to nostr for the majority of technical bitcoin conversation to happen here

every mempool is technically private, the important part is it being possible to globally broadcast and receive relatively easily

2025-05-01 17:20:52 GMT

important discussion should happen in an open environment that is easily accessed and hard to censor
this is why nostr development and adoption is so important

2025-05-01 17:16:47 GMT

bitcoin fees are a dynamic free market
block space is scarce and intentionally limited to improve mining and node distribution
as transaction demand increases so do the fees associated with sending a bitcoin transaction
this fee market provides decentralized spam mitigation
fees provide a real cost to spam attacks

i think this is an exaggeration
this change is not a consensus change, shitcoiners can and do already get these transactions in blocks
it is disappointing how it is being handled by core maintainers but all things considered a cheap wake up call highlighting issues with leadership

2025-05-01 14:53:28 GMT

- reply

i think this is a good wake up call to people that we should have well maintained alternative implementations
people that are willing to do that work should apply to opensats

2025-05-01 14:43:33 GMT

if core ships an update i do not like then i will refuse to update my nodes
if the trend continues then i will support an alternative implementation
everything else is noise

there are probably more node runners active on nostr than x even though the x user base is 100x nostr

primal is unique among nostr apps in that it relies on a super relay: a caching server
the caching server pulls notes and events from all known relays, the app then reads from the server rather than relays directly
this setup provides both performance and privacy improvements
users do not have to trust the caching server with message integrity because all events are signed but users do trust the caching server to show all events
similar to traditional relays, anyone can run a caching server, users can easily change which server they use in settings
the caching server is not used when broadcasting notes, broadcasts are sent directly to relays chosen by users
the primal stack is open source, anyone can verify, run, or modify the code without permission
nostr identities are transportable, all users can use any nostr app at will and are never locked in to primal

2025-04-30 19:46:12 GMT

if you are a bitcoin knots contributor, you should apply to opensats

2025-04-30 13:15:35 GMT

primal added the ability to delete notes
some relays may not honor requests, but still an important feature

blossom is a protocol for distributed verifiable media hosting
it is now the default in primal
all photo and video uploads are hashed and signed so they cannot be altered or faked
users can change their main server and set automatic mirrors in settings for redundancy, all blossom servers are supported

it all comes down to liquidity partners
the source of the dollars for the loans sets the rates
they should go down over time, eventually they should be the lowest rate loans available because bitcoin is the best collateral
strike has no prepayment penalty or origination fee so as rates go down, users benefit

> a self-reinforcing echo chamber with a minute user base
this is true, user base is tiny, but nostr is very early, if we are successful this will not be the case
> self-congratulatory pastor pandering to his flock like a cheap tele-evangelical
i dont think this is true, still much work to be done, nostr's success is definitely not inevitable

all that said, thousands of people are sending and receiving bitcoin using nostr, that is pretty cool
