@npub1ye5…knpr Hey, got a Blossom question:
Is there a scan/analyze function on file uploads to detect malware?
Some people use this site to scan, ex: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/baebfbf2c312a355f5cdf78eff8250504c89c3c107822133dd56e249d7fb6e16 , but would be cool if this is done on Blossom as well and have all the relevant info as well.

One game mods creator answered, when I asked them for what they want in a game mods platform, that they want something like github basically.
The moment he said that I thought "that's waaaay above what I can do, both skillfully and financially".
But then (among others) GitNestr & Nestr by @npub1h0r…fv0g happened / will happen soon, and now I'm thinking "well damn, I guess it can be done, I'll just go ahead and integrate this into @npub17jl…825x ".
#nostr is amazing and will beat every traditional company out there.
Why? It has an ever-expanding number of talented people, with an every number of products being built on top of it, that no other single or group of companies can ever have.
Those who are not on nostr WILL lose out.

Just realized yesterday, thinking of nip-99, that there should be, should be a "receipt" function, unrelated to LN.
npub-A selling product.
Product has some kind of ID.
npub-B buys product.
Receipt (event address) is created, which has product ID and other info related to product, that's verifiable with npub-A address as the seller and npub-B address as the buyer.
This, the receipt event address, may include LN receipt information.
That receipt event address (addresses) would be stored in relays, however, depending on either of the party, it would be vital for them to always have that receipt event address saved, to verify the purchase.
I'm not sure if this is already a thing, but I think it's incredibly important to have.
I'd want to have it as a user and/or store owner/runner.

From what others have told me, I could probably get a better piece of hardware than Umbrel's one, however, I'm leaning towards Umbrel because even though it'll only work for Umbrel stuff, I'm not going to use it for anything else for a long time (by then, if I do want to use it for other stuff, I'd need new hardware anyways). So, I'll get it to remove any headaches and just have it as a quick plug-in-umbrel-and-play.

In terms of what creators want, in one example, where they'd accept recuring donations, they'd most likely want to see each individual subscription they have / by whole (npub and/or LN address) to say thanks to / include them in credits in a post or video.
In another example, where a creator wants the same as above, to also know what package they've subscribed to, so that they'd know what to provide them with what value/benefit (ex: have a conversation with them, or sending them a specific file, etc)
A third / more advanced example, for service-like behavior (this would be me in this case), would be similar to the above, where the npub data is auto extract/read by the client so that it can give it special benefits (client visual representations, access to certain pages, giving discount codes for merch, access to specific features, inviting to be part of a specific chat group, etc)
Creator gist:
A UI to showcase who subscribed to you, and methods of extracting/reading that data.
Aside from that:
Payment/Subscription(auto recuring payments) based on fiat pricing (Ex: $10 per month. Payment would be 16k sats for the first payment, then the next autopayment would be another $10 at more or less than 16k sats depending on its price at the time of invoice/payment).

2024-09-15 09:19:35

Regarding ecash/nuts, if i send someone zaps to their npub@example.com (that example.com supports ecash) would that info be on relays, and the person I sent it to would have to scan some relays and hopefully find those nuts?
What's the potential of them never finding those nuts?

2024-09-11 09:54:20

Hot take:
If you buy a digital game and download it, that's it. You have technically bought and own the game, and developer/store are not necessarily obligated to allow you to download the game again.
Counter to hot take:
Because the game is attached to the store's DRM, meaning that you can't use the files as intended without that store and a connection to their server / needing you to be online, then that means you don't own the game, and as a result
Counter counter:
When you bought a physical copy (disc) of a PC game, even back in the day, if it was attached to Steam with those same requirements, then you didn't own those physical copies as well.
Final thoughts:
Physical (file extraction) or digital (right of one time download, further requires future potential payments), if you buy the game and I can run it without the need of an internet connection, in terms of a singleplayer game, only then do you truly own it. In terms of an online game, it's the same but you don't own the servers they're running so its fine if they go under, however, they should not pursue you legally if you mod the files and make it connect to your own or others' servers.

Kind of annoying that community posts are kind 1 posts (normal short posts) so they're appearing on normal timelines.
I'm assuming there's a tag so that short-post clients can detect and now show them, but they're not adding that filter.

Correct PS Console Comparisons (PS1 to PS5 to PS5 Pro)
Don't care too much about the new PS5 Pro, with people going nuts over the price, and kind of expected considering Sony lost big on Concord. Though it seems like Geoff is gaslighting people comparing previous PS consoles with current drive-less PS5 Pro.
Here's the correct presentation:
Inflation-adjusted prices for PlayStation consoles since launch:
PS1: $611 (1995)
PS2: $546 (2000)
PS3: $778 (2006)
PS4: $538 (2013)
PS4 Pro: $522 (2016)
PS5: $606 (2020)
PS5 (no Disc drive): $485(2020)
PS5 Pro: $800 (2024)
PS5 Pro (no Disc drive): $700 (2024)

hm.. how about WoT but not necessarily hide spam fully.
If I post this, replyguy will spam reply to it right? however, in the replies section of this post, in this potential future improvement, you'd see replies of people in your WoT, and there'd be a button or tab to see "all replies" which would show the spam as well.
You'd get notifications from WoT people only.
This isn't a solution, but an improvement on the situation, while also still seeing all posts normally, just less annoying and more organized.
There could also be an extended version of WoT that includes likes, zaps, reposts, bookmarks, or even a new thing like "this is a not a spammer/scammer", all of which would move more people from the chaos replies to the proper replies sections and get notified from said people.

Haven't posted there in a while.
Sure. Haven't posted there in a while, and haven't seen anyone recently post there.
Not surprising though. Nostr community apps may have been abandoned (I tried using the two I used in the past but they weren't loading, and tried nostrudel but I wasn't see any communities aside from one, and didn't see an option to manage in Amythest. The last hope was Satellite which had everything working over there / very snappy).
Now I'm thinking of, at some point, adding "communities" in DEG Mods... would need to think how to go about it to avoid issues like the rest and enhance it somehow.

You know what would be a killer/badass move?
If Steam announced that the Steam app on your mobile phone allows you to download a mobile version of the games you own if games have that option.
#gamedev s can give the mobile version for free if you purchase the game normally / on PC, or if you bought the pc version but want the mobile version, then you'd purchase it as a DLC (and vice-versa).
Ex:
- Buy on PC at $60, optional mobile version as DLC for $5.
- Buy on Mobile at $20, optional PC version as DLC for $45.
- Buy both at $65.

I saw it no different than twitter, in a sense of "I don't like Twitter, so I'll make Twitter-A" then someone on Twitter-A will be like "I don't like Twitter-A, so I'll make Twitter-B" where the extra nice thing about making a Twitter-A and -B etc is that they can talk with each other, however, all the cons are there when compared to Twitter from the perspective of freedom.

2024-08-26 04:46:00

Platforms like Telegram, Rumble, etc, and others for their niche like Gab, and pseudo decentralized like Mastadon, are being hunted from the looks of it.
Looking at those, #nostr is the strongest in terms of combating these hunt campaigns, however, there still needs to be improvements in regard to actual deniability.
Relay operators will be the targets of a Nostr attack.
From my POV, here's what needs to happen:
- For relays to somehow not know/gather IP addresses of users.
- Every client should be a relay operator (WoT to decrease load and spam resistance).

The core functions of the project is working and live (Nostr login, publishing game mod posts, viewing the posts, and viewing a list of published game mods). That's why I submitted the project today.
More features/systems, as well as replacing those placeholders, will be added over time.
To answer your questions...
# # Gist answer
Video game mods and their creators are being censored and banned on mainstream hosting and discovery platforms, as a result, DEG Mods, being built on Nostr, solve this issue by not being able to censor or ban mods and mod creators.
# # Normal answer
# # # Here's what generally happens in the video games market:
1. A video game gets released.
2. Some people with some dev skills modify the game, packages it, and shares it with the public so that they can download and install said modifications to enjoy the game in this modified state.
So we have game mod creators and game mods.
# # # Here's the issue that promoted the creation of DEG Mods:
1. When a mod creator wants to share their creation, they'd create an account on main-stream game mod hosting sites, then upload their game mod there so that others can discover it and download it.
2. Some of these mods get taken down by these mod discovery hosting sites, and ban the account of its creator, because of ideological reasons. Both parties, the mod creator and its consumers (gamers) are pissed.
3. Some potential solution sites were developed, but they were still built on top of centralized systems and still controlled with a small group of entities, with the potential of pushing their own ideological control.
4. DEG Mods came to solve all of these censorship issues by being built on top of Nostr. As a result, even I as the project's creator cannot take down a published game mod page nor 'ban' its creator, where I can only hide it from the site, yet it still can be accessible on it, and on other future forks of the project that may get released.
5. Considering that it's a Nostr project, even if a threat comes over and takes down the project (takes over the domain, repo, etc), so long as someone has a copy of the code, they can run the project locally and/or upload it to a different domain.
6. The extra benefits include:
6.1. Never losing the connection between mod creator and mod enjoyed (following each other).
6.2. Direct financial transfer between mod creator and mod enjoyers (Zaps)
7. DEG Mods doesn't host the video game mod files. Its creator uploads it wherever they want and they'd share the download link in the mod page/post in the appropriate field. In case the file gets deleted/censored, they'd simply upload it elsewhere and edit the published post with the new link. In the future, Blossom servers and/or better file-hosting solutions will be provided as an option.
That's about it for now (if you've read til here, thanks for reading!).

2024-08-19 15:17:55

It's out! =3

People talk about how toxic twitter is and how nostr has good vibes.
#twitter can be positive, and #nostr can be toxic.
Why and how? We're dealing with people here =P
This is not absolute and I haven't seen it that way, for both of these things, before I joined nostr and now.
My experience on twitter is a positive one, on my personal account there since years ago (about 90% + part of the time). How? I just decide what to see on twitter, using the tools i have to personally moderate what I see.
See I person I like their content? I follow them. They start being shit? I unfollow them. They're annoying me? I block them. People I follow start posting about stuff I don't like every now and then? I use the filter system and put keywords so that my timeline doesn't show me posts with these words.
That's about it. As a result, my experience on twitter on my personal account for years has been positive vibes for most of the time.
Toxic people can start coming into nostr and start being toxic. What will I do? The same thing as I've been doing on twitter. It's not an issue.
The reason why I'm here on nostr isn't because of the positive vibes, it's because of ownership and censorship resistance. I can say "learn to code" and not get "banned" =P (as well as more moderation options as well of course + it being more than just a social thing).
Don't think nostr can't be toxic. It can and will (it already probably has bad eggs in it).

ok... question, how would you know who's bob and who's alice and how would they know each other? is it, i'm assuming, to meet up someone in a public square (digital or physical) and connect through a new address from the seed? (and in terms of restoring the seed account on a new device, like in bitcoin, it would scan your seed addresses to certain limits to find if there is chat messages sent or received between people?

If I'm a relay operator and I don't want to die, here the future I want to see:
- Client A, B, C.
- Client A and B have implemented an Ads NIP, but Client C didn't.
- User X has enabled to view ads.
- User X has saved my relay to read/write from it.
- User X used all 3 clients.
- User X will see ads in Client A and B, but not C.
- My relay would service User X in Client A and B, but not C (it wouldn't fetch from it or write to it).
- When User X sees an ad in Client A or B, said clients would receive a percentage cut from the budget sent out to run that ad, and my relay would receive a cut, and the User would also receive a cut.
- User X disables viewing ads in his metadata.
- User X cannot see notes from my relay anymore, from any client, regardless of if the client has implemented the Ads NIP or not.
With this, i'd also try to support as many content types as I can without going into the red, but I'd also have a block list to block clients that implement the Ads NIP but hide ads, or present them unreasonably.

ohhh.
That's a UX fix then.
I think Instagram used to have that, and I actually appreciated (maybe twitter too? I forgot).
Basically: You keep scrolling in your feed until you reach a point where there'd be a UI line telling you "You've already seen posts past this point", and when I've seen that, I'd usually stop and go back to the top.

isn't that how most people view their feed?
I only see the latest posts of people that I follow, and that's it.
If I'm feeling adventurous, I'll go search with hashtags.

Jack and OpenSats are a single point of failure.
Community funding is also a single point of failure.
Let's be honest, with the solution being that relay operators and client developers need to get paid through the market systems, the general public doesn't want to pay to post, to like, to update their profile, etc. Plus, a new user doesn't have Sats, so ya that's dead right there.
What are the options?
Subscription packages like what Damus is doing?
Putting donation buttons everywhere?
Selling merch?
Selling NIP-05 names?
Listen, those are all fine and all, but there's one annoying solution that solves a decent chunk of this problem. You know it, I know it, everybody knows it: Ads.
Ads on #nostr , properly designed and developed, would be the best digital ads system in the world for all parties involved, in comparison to current ad systems, where it can go from annoying to feeling neutral about it, and this would also onboard an incredible number of people to Bitcoin as they wouldn't have to 'pay' to get their first bitcoin, they'd just use a nostr client and at some very early point in their usage they'd suddenly have a few sats because they saw a few ads as they scrolled through their timeline.
If no one develops this by X time in the future, I'd reach into my backlog of ideas and at least design and plan this out, where if the opportunity arises it would get developed, but hopefully someone does it way sooner.

I wonder how a #nostr version of Steam would be.
I'd imagine it'd be something along the lines of what I'm making with @npub17jl…825x , but the core UX and seller issue, more so for a Steam version, is how to handle up to hundreds of gigs of files per game and handle that bandwidth.
Perhaps there's no escaping for the end user needing to pay to download the game, and the dev having to pay for hosting (either renting a server or running their own).
Though thinking about it, to alleviate these pain points, a good system with a smooth UI/UX would have it where the potential store/platform would visually present cut percentages that need to go from a game sale to server rent, how much sales he needs to make, best suggestions, etc, based on the file size of his game, and it would get updated automatically as the package increases or decreases in size.
The server cost mentioned above would also calculate the potential total cost of a buyer downloading their game X times, where the developer/seller can set a limit of how many downloads, in terms of gigs, this user can do so for free (ex: consumed 50 gigs out of 1,000 remaining. Cost per gig to download is $0.05).
In terms of who owns games, that's a nostr user signature so no issue there.
So in essence, and technically speaking, in terms of sales, the developer is getting nearly 100% of the revenue from a game sale, but they're eating up the costs of hosting and managing their game.
In terms of who's hosting the platform for this Steam-like, they can put 0% regarding taking a cut, though that seems unrealistic if developers and gamers are expecting site maintenance and improvements, however, considering the above points where the dev is eating up the costs, I'd say the site/platform can take anywhere between 1% and up to 5% per sale.
Thoughts?
(I haven't even thought of online multiple game servers =P )

Objection!
An increase in Wolf-like commodification leads to an increase in the number of Wolf followers, as well as an increase in the faith of Wolf Girls being real in the scenario where more Wolf Girl mascots are created.

Ah ok, if that's the case, then I think this is a better UX (along with being more decentralized), all the while giving more control (in a sense) to users, in comparison to manual input of multiple relays or random auto relay setup, right?
Instead of me adding 10 relays, I can add 1 hub (or 2 just in case) that I like, and those hubs can do the work for me in terms of the relays they aggregate, and they can add however many relays they want for maximum decentralization.
This got me thinking, i'm assuming this is what you meant with "expose their local nostr-relay-tray", is that a hub doesn't have to manually add relays, but keep listening to relays that want to expose themselves hubs/aggregators and they'd be automatically added.

2024-07-21 10:46:00

- reply

I'm not sure I understood what this is.
At first I thought it was:
As a user, I'd just input 1 hub link, I publish an event to that hub, and the hub sends that event to a bunch of relays (that the hub manager has added).
Did I get that right? or is this something for relay managers and not end-users?

Man... using @npub10r8…t2p8 is such a breeze.
Just install, find what you want or what you have, and install/update.
No login, registration, useless other processes to go through to get what i want.
Search -> Install/Update.
Done.
So much better than trying to do that same with Playstore.
And the best thing? It'll somehow get even better from here.

Not saying there shouldn't be curation, but to make it so that if a user wants to open the profile in their preferred site/app that's not in the curated list, they can simply search it up and click (2, maybe 3 steps), instead of copy->close current site/app->open preferred site/app->search/paste, click (5 steps)

I will bring a percentage of gamers, however small or large, to #nostr with @npub17jl…825x by targeting game mod creators that have had their creations deleted, account banned, and those that wish to financially benefit from their creations as well, from anywhere in the world.
Every known game mods site so far has failed gamers, and it would be an impossibility in this new superior platform. Similar to another passionate creator, I share a similar feeling and I will make those inferior platforms obsolete.
I'll publish a new update (4th entry/post) on its funding campaign page soon, mentioning recent developments and what will it take to reach two different stages of the MVP to launch, as well as updating the page itself with new text and images.
Check out the campaign and its previous updates/entries if you haven't already:

Community Notes on #nostr would be nice.
I'd imagine how it'd work is based on zap amount and number of zaps, of posts that the user tags it as a community note, and these notes would be visible under a tab next to replies "Community Notes".

Hey #nostr clients, considering that actions are kind of final on nostr, I think having a "no, wait! cancel!" system is highly needed for a positive UX. A tiny window to cancel an action, any action.
Here's an example:

I'm asking because Banking services in Lebanon is fucked / people exchange bitcoin/crypto with cash via physical meetups. Most don't use banks.

Still waiting and hoping for someone to make a fork of Discord, build it on #nostr and have a server app on Umbrel (where people can also be invited to be a server point as well, so one can switch the voice-channel's geo-location).
All text-channels created would be group DMs.
