Nostr needs smart algos for better Webs of Trust. Open source, subscribable, shareable, and accessible across all clients, by any user.

Prolific following is a common practice on Nostr, as a way to increase the diversity of one’s “algo free” feed.
But the more prolific followers I follow, the more likely it is that one or more of these “follows follows”are gonna be a bot or bad actor … or generally someone I just don’t want in my own feed.
Blocking helps. Reports help. Other stuff helps, but (so far) these WoT relays do not calculate for these to help prune my “follows follows”.
Nostr needs smarter webs of trust, using opensource algos that people can freely choose from.

Web of Trust relays WITHOUT a smart algo … are just private parties waiting to be crashed.

No, and maybe.
“Censorship resistance” qualifies anyone’s ability to publish anything at anytime, without concern of being “banned”.
“Spam proofing” refers to an END USER’s ability to filter their OWN feed as per their OWN content wishes.
Nostr, as freedom tech, needs to shine in both of these abilities.
MAYBE proof of work solves for spam resistance, but maybe sometimes it doesn’t. There is no silver bullet, and the best (open source and client agnostic) WoT algos will incorporate many user configurable filters in order to accomplish this task.

Yea… this is not spam proof. There ARE prolific followers on Nostr. Everybody’s list of “follows follows” can (and prolly does) include any number of bots and bad actors.
Without filtering, a bare minimum WoT list is not actually trustworthy. Not now, and definitely not as Nostr scales.
WoT relays are a great idea. But WoT itself needs better algos.

so… the demo is live right now at nostrmeet.me, but it’s still not quite MVP complete.
The MVP will provide complete functionality to “scan my QR code and message me privately” (using gift wrapped no-data-leak NIP-17) for ANY friend new to Nostr. This will be a valuable app in its own right for having instant private and anonymous messages with anybody.
What I have currently working is “scan my code to create an account with username and password, where username gets you a NIP05, and password gets your private key encrypted so you can log in again with U&P.”

AFAIK, this is done by sending a NIP-42 ephemeral event. Regular HTTP auth DOES NOT WORK over nostr, because there is no server side to verify credentials. NIP-42 is how relays can dynamically authenticate client access.

Imma agree with DJ on this. If GitHub was rugged, teams wd move elsewhere. Git itself doesn’t even need to be hosted, for project collaborators to share their code. There are other git hosting services.
It’s unfortunate that teams have centralized toward GitHub. But in this case, at least, don’t see centralization as an “Achilles heel”, more of just a disappointment.

You know … when @npub1san…qjdd and I first started the nostrmeet.me project, THIS was his pet, a peer-to-peer identity verification layer for Nostr. His NIVS whitepaper introduced a distinct event type where npubs could verify each other by signing. (link?)
But the architecture is not what keeps this idea (and all other explicit attestations of trust) from seeing daylight.
Everybody knows that “most” people will not bother to “explicitly attest” for each other, and those that do will prolly game the system.
However, using My Grapevine as a backstop, providing “implied” attestations and spam protection, might help to draw actual user participation.
A hybrid solution may be the key … but yea … participation is the door to open.

I think you missed the point of my question … if it matters.
Today, nostr is a reservoir for freedom culture. In the not so far future, when Nostr is global and the standard “nostr app” is a hybrid app, indistinguishable from any other black box reseller of user data, Nostr will no longer be this reservoir. It will no longer hold value as freedom tech.
SO WHAT if this is inevitable. Freedom culture is always under threat.
So my more direct question is:
“How do we retain freedom culture even as the tools we build to support it are eroded by NGU culture?”

I have no idea TBH … I think Nostr is not actually the right architecture … but for relays to NOT become targets (in the future as Nostr scales), e2e encryption would be the way.
Gift-wrapped events have no publicly visible data except the destination pubkey and an approximate date. All else needs to be decrypted by recipient nsec…

No. Social onboarding is a way of leveraging real world webs of trust to strengthen the Nostr network.
I am just a dumb fool crazy enough to put ideas on paper and put a bit of broken code on the web to maybe solve for it.
My open source code is a reference client. The first of hopefully many “social onboarding clients” to come. Also, hopefully, it will evolve into a library (social onboarding wizard) that other (not dedicated) clients can implement.
So no. Social onboarding is not centralized. Just a good idea for Nostr.

Exactly the point I’m making! All clients across the Nostr network will benefit from customizable invites by any social onboarding (enabled) client.
YES, invites by nostrmeet.me will be customizable to “recommend” any Nostr client (by URL or AppStore link) for the new user…

2024-08-27 15:33:11

- reply

@npub1r0r…q9ac and @npub1qny…95gx are not entirely convinced that a “dedicated onboarding client” is the best way to solve for onboarding … however, social onboarding is different.
- links and QR codes (for inviting friends) MUST land on a web based client, and installing a native client will ALWAYS be more steps for the end user.
- The UX for customizable invites and network discovery of recommended clients, relays, follows, and other stuff should REALLY be a polished flow. Most social clients will not have such a polished flow as a dedicated onboarding client, or at least a “plug and play” wizard that can be added to their own client.
- the most important feature for social onboarding is immediate and private communication between the invited and their advocate inviter. This can be as simple as implementing gift-wrapped direct messaging in the onboard client itself.
nostrmeet.me fulfills all of these needs. it is a “dedicated onboard client” because, despite the hurdle of having “yet another client”, exactly this kind of client IS what is needed for social onboarding.
