I am going to flip that question on its head a bit. What is the incentive NOT to make your own blocks? If you already run a node that has its own mempool, why would you want to be beholden to someone else dictating what your miner is hashing? What do you get out of that that you would not get if you created your own block templates?
In my mind, the only reason not to create your own block templates is if you aren't running a node. And then question is, why the heck aren't you running a node?
And then, yes. OCEAN gives a discount on the pool fee for those who use DATUM to create their own templates, and you pay zero pool fee whatsoever if you are lottery mining using DATUM. So the incentive is you get paid more in either scenario. Assuming you are fortunate enough to get paid at all in the lottery mining option.

If you are lottery mining using DATUM, you aren't connecting to anyone else, just your own stratum server hosted on your node via DATUM. Your node, of course, is connected to its peers on the Bitcoin network, and they gossip about what transactions are waiting to be added to blocks. That's how your node knows what transactions are waiting, even if they were submitted by someone half the world away.
Now, the downside of this, as with any lottery mining, is that you don't get anything if your Bitaxe never finds a block. I am not someone who can crunch the numbers on that likelihood, but I seem to remember someone saying that if all you have is a BitAxe, you will find a block on average once every 30,000 years at the current network difficulty, and you are just praying that you will get exceptionally lucky and have it happen in the portion of that 30,000 years that overlaps with your lifespan. 😂
Another way of saying it is, if you have 30,000 BitAxes, then your chances are pretty good that one of them will find a block each year. You might go a few years without any of them finding a block, while you find two or three blocks another year, but it will average out to about 1 block a year.
When you are connecting to OCEAN through DATUM, you are no longer lottery mining. The downside of this is, if you find a block, you have to share the rewards with all the other miners in the pool. But the upside is, you will get rewards for your small contribution to trying to find a block, even when it is someone else in the pool who found it. And because OCEAN has Lightning payouts, you can get paid directly to your Lightning wallet via a BOLT-12 invoice each and every time the pool finds a block, with no need to wait to build up enough sats owed to you for an on-chain UTXO.
So it's the difference between having a chance at a MASSIVE payout, that probably will never come, vs getting exceptionally small payouts virtually every day.
Either way, though, if you are a noderunner already, and you want to do some home-mining, I don't see any good reason not to use DATUM and either lottery mine on your own, or connect to OCEAN for pooled mining.

Yeah, for things like nostr.build, something that ONLY does log-in is fine, since signing isn't needed for anything else within their service. However, NIP-46 signing can handle just logging in if that is all you need, as well.
My point is, why use proposed NIP-97 that never went anywhere and can only be used to log in, without doing anything else, when we have NIP-46 that CAN be used for just logging in, if that is all you need, but can also be used for further signing?
If the answer is that iOS won't be able to do NIP-46 signing, then that might make some sense.

2025-03-30 23:11:26

- reply

Why this over just making every client a NIP-46 signer that can not only log you into other services, but also sign events?
This option seems like it would work for log in, but not for anything that actually requires signing of events.
Consider how most users onboard to Nostr. They download a client they heard about like Primal, Amethyst, or Damus, and they generate their keys in that client. So that first client is going to have their private key unless they have a friend who helped them get set up through a dedicated signer app like Amber. If that's the case, then those "flagship" clients ought to be able to serve as remote signers, similar to how Gossip on desktop can be a remote signer, allowing users to log in and to sign events from the client where they generated their keys.
NIP-97 seems to just allow the first part, which is unnecessarily limiting when we already have NIP-46. We would just need a more smooth way for a website to request a connection string from the remote signer app/Nostr client.

That's because Amethyst is doing the work of searching for all of the follow lists on all of the relays that contain that user's npub, excluding duplicates, and tallying them up in real time. By contrast, a client like Primal pulls all notes it can find from other relays into their caching relay on an ongoing basis, and so it can have a pre-calculated follow count for each user.
That is also the reason why Amethyst can take some time to load profile data. It has to actually fetch it from whichever relays that user writes to. Meanwhile, Primal only has to get it from their caching relay that has already fetched the data from everyone's write relays.

2025-03-30 14:40:27

- reply

Primal doesn't connect to relays to read from them, only to write to them, but I have noticed that it loses connection and won't post anything after a while, and I have to refresh the page.
For reading notes, Primal only connects to their own caching relay, which I have never noticed it having trouble staying connected to.
What a lot of users often perceive as Primal being really slow to load is when they are using custom DVM feeds, such as "Popular from Npubs You Follow." These feeds are not served by Primal at all. Instead, Primal requests a list of notes from the DVM, waits for the DVM to sent it over, and finally fetches them from their caching relay. The wait time from that DVM is often the slow part.
Videos can be a whole other issue unrelated to clients at all. Remember, this is a decentralized protocol, not a centralized platform. On platforms like Facebook or YouTube, they can ensure that optimization is done on the videos uploaded to ensure quick loading.
On Nostr, users can upload videos wherever they want. Directly through some clients that may or may not optimize the video for web, through a hosting service, or even self-hosted.
It's pretty easy to load videos quickly when you have control over ensuring they have been optimized and you only have to fetch them from your own servers. Nostr clients have neither of those luxuries.

I follow npubs that aren't "real" people, but I find them valuable for other reasons. Not every npub included within what npub.world considers "reputable" is a real person, I am sure.
I can also tell you from running a WoT relay that there are still a fair amount of bots that make it into my WoT because people who I follow, and would therefore be considered "reputable" are also following bots, which would in turn make those bots "reputable" since it only requires one "reputable" follower for an npub to also be considered "reputable."

Yeah, I don't mind that. I think that ship has somewhat sailed for changing the way we differentiate event kinds from numbers to more reasonable and intuitive name+tags conventions. Maybe we can use it for subcategories/options within a kind, but kind numbers are too well established as a standard at this point, even though they make me cringe every time I am trying to explain how something works and have to say "kind X."

2025-03-25 20:47:17

Right, but the point is that you are still using a kind that is separate from kind 1. So, separating note kinds is still useful, right?
@npub12r0…9qrx seemed to be indicating that we shouldn't use separate kinds. Everything should be kind 1 for maximum interoperability, so someone doesn't post a kind 20 on Olas and wonder why it doesn't show up on Primal.

Nostr definitely has its own jargon...
A bunker on Nostr is an app that holds your private key for you and when you want to make a post, or a comment, or 🤙someone else's post, instead of the app you are using needing to have your private key so it can sign for it, the request to sign will be sent to the bunker app via a Nostr relay, and the bunker will sign the request.
This way, you don't have to give your private key to every Nostr app you want to try out.

This would also be possible to achieve with a relay that only accepted certain note kinds, rejecting all the kinds you don't want to see. However, it would need to be the ONLY relay you read from, and it would likely need to pull in the notes you want to see from other relays, since most users probably would not write to it.
I don't know of a relay implementation that does this, so you would again need to build it yourself or pay someone to build it for you.

Nostr was not created with zaps as the purpose of its existence, It was created for free-speech and censorship resistance. Zaps developed organically when users started pasting invoices for other users to pay and it was eventually added into the protocol itself as an event kind.

I think it will be. Bitcoin is only crazy volatile to the upside right now because it has so much adoption yet to go. As it reaches hyperbitcoinization, and therefore market saturation, the extreme outperformance of all other assets will subside.
Bitcoin will still gain purchasing power over time, but it will entirely be a function of increased productivity in all other goods and services, while Bitcoin's supply is fixed. People will invest in projects and companies that they believe will truly bring an outsized benefit to the world. It will be much harder to pick winners that will outpace the steady growth in purchasing power you can get from just holding Bitcoin, but it will be possible.
That said, I think the amount of money that is thrown at the stock market today is exceptionally overblown. People put their money there because they don't know of any other means of outpacing inflation and actually getting ahead. When Bitcoin is the standard, most of this use of investing to either gamble or as a savings vehicle will vanish. It will come back to its original purpose of helping the best ideas actually get built.

I think you'll still end up finding plenty of authentic conversations on Nostr, and even that desired unpleasant side from time to time. After all, many folks around here have more than one npub, and while they may keep a more congenial public persona on their main profile, they may be more willing to let loose on alternate nostr:npubs.

I think you are looking at this with an incorrect assumption that a post being motivated by possible financial return makes it less worthy of your time. But you don't treat anything else in your life this way, do you?
When you go to a more expensive restaurant, you expect the food to be higher quality. When you purchase a coffee you expect it to be better than the free coffee they have available for you in the office.
Likewise, people will generally produce higher quality content when there is a possibility of making a profit from it. They will be motivated to put their best effort into it, and to be more helpful to other users.
This, of course, is highly reliant on your content being seen by others who would value it in the first place. Even so, Nostr users collectively understanding that someone may find their content valuable enough to zap it will make them optimize for providing value, which in turn makes Nostr a more pleasant place to be, since jerks don't tend to get paid.

I go with this method for deciding how many relays I will use:
Outbox/Write Realys:
- 1 relay I control that others can access to read from.
- 1 major public relay.
- 1 relay that is for a group I belong to that only those in the group can post to.
Inbox/Read Relays:
- 1 relay I control that others can post to, but only if they are tagging me.
- 1 web-of-trust relay
- 1 major public relay that I can remove if I start getting a lot of spam replies
Since there may be a bit of overlap, that's only really 4 or 5 relays needed.
On top of these, various clients may allow you to set other types of relays to fill in some gaps, but the above should serve you pretty well on its own.

2025-03-13 16:35:59

It's quite simple, really.
Your follow list is just a note like any other. On Nostr, EVERYTHING is a note, and your follow list is no different. It's a note called a kind 3 that contains a list of npubs that you are following, and it lives on relays that you write to.
When you use a new client, sometimes it doesn't correctly find your follow list. If you follow someone new while using that client, it will publish a new follow list with just that single npub on it, and broadcast that out to the relays. Any relays storing your previous follow list will delete it and keep the new one.

I understand where you are coming from recarding security of a user's nsec here. I really do. I like the idea of no single internet-connected app having your full private key. I really do. I think FROST signing for Nostr is REALLY interesting. However, we need to nail the UX for this, and it needs to have near universal adoption from Nostr clients to be useful.
Let's look at this from the perspective of a new user who wants to try out Nostr for the first time, and we'll even assume that they have a kind friend who warns them that they shouldn't paste their nsec into client applications to log in. What is the current onboarding process for someone who wants to try out Nostr in a "safe" way, in case they decide they want to stick around, vs what the process would look like under your proposal?
Currently, if I was that kind friend, I would have the new user generate their keys via Amber and use Amber to sign into everything they possibly can. This means they only need to download Amber and the first client they want to use. Possibly the Zapstore to make it easier to update those apps. Total time to first post is going to vary a bit based on their questions, but in under 5 minutes I can have them up and running with a basic understanding of why they shouldn't just paste their nsec anywhere they want to log in. Sure, it's not perfectly ideal security, since their nsec is still held in-full in Amber, which is a potential point of exposure, but it's still a far better option than having them generate their nsec in a client and then just copy/paste it to another client when they want to log in somewhere else.
Now, if I am understanding your proposal, to try and do the same thing for a friend who wants to try Nostr, I am going to have to tell them. "Call me when you have a specialized piece of hardware to generate your private key and hold it offline. Then I'll come over and show you how to export key shards to a signer app and the client you want to log into." Until then, maybe just poke around on a burner-key to see if its something you are interested in. Just know you won't be keeping that key, so don't get attached to it.
Is that about right?

Sounds like you probably only have one payment channel or all of your payment channels are with a single channel partner (Megalith).
You have just discovered the problem of having a single point of failure. If that point of failure is offline, you are dead in the water.
I highly recommend having at least a couple additional channels with separate channel partners. That way, when one is offline, You can still transact through the other two, assuming you have enough liquidity in the desired direction.

A new tag could definitely work! One with a few different options for the type of long-form content contained in the note.
I would even suggest more options available than just articles and blogs. Some ideas I have off the top of my head would be:
News
Article
Blog
Review
Fiction
Recipe (I've noticed zap.cooking is using kind 30023 notes for their recipes.)
Recipes might be better served as a separate event kind, as a matter of fact. Zap.cooking has shoe-horned them into long-form, but having some extra fields that would be useful for the recipe format would be ideal.
There's probably other categories of long-form content that I haven't thought of that would be good to have as well.

Articles and blogs are far more similar to one another than articles and books, for one thing. For another, you can just write long form articles as blog posts and they will 100% function as a blog. You can even have them presented exactly that way using npub.pro.
Now, if you want to write both blogs and articles under the same npub, and have them presented separately, you would need to have two separate kinds, or else just make two separate npub.pro sites, and manually import the blog notes to one and the articles to the other.

Well, most notes you actually want other people to be able to read. So, kind 1 notes like what you post on Primal, Amethyst, Coracle, and other "twitter clone" clients are not encrypted. Their purpose is to be readable by others.
Meanwhile, direct messages (DMs) are always encrypted, so only you and the message recipient can read them.
From there, it's going to vary widely as to whether notes are encrypted. For instance, @npub1zuu…c2uc is working on a new DM spec that will allow for private groups, where all messages within the group would be encrypted such that only group members could read them. However, current groups/communities do not have encrypted messages. They only employ white-listing to determine who has access to view messages, if the group is not open to anyone joining it.

Sorry, I thought you were talking about using Orbot with Amber for signing, not using Orbot with Coracle for loading content from relays or writing events to them. The order in which you listed them ("Orbot+Amber+Coracle Android") seemed to imply that.

Extension sign in only?

You're either not providing any value, or you're not getting your notes in front of people who would value them.
#nevent1q…qgyx
Assuming your issue is the latter, how do you get your notes in front of #Nostriches who will value them on #Nostr, where we don't have algorithms to do this for us? There are at least 2 ways.
1. Find people who are already posting about the things you want to post about, then put in the #ProofOfWork by interacting with them and interacting with those who interact with them. Build a reputation of having QUALITY replies, and people will start following you who are interested in what you have to say. Better yet, you'll probably start getting zapped for your replies, if they add value to the discussion.
2. Use RELEVANT hashtags. Very little will get you muted by me and others around here than if you start using popular hashtags just because they are popular, when they have NOTHING to do with your post. Don't use the AskNostr hashtag when you aren't asking a question. Don't use the GrowNostr hashtag when you are posting about Bitcoin. Look at the hashtags people who are talking about a given topic are already using, which you should be well aware of if you followed the advice in point 1, and start using those.
Bonus: Don't expect from others what you aren't giving yourself. You want engagement on your posts? Engage with others more than you post yourself. You want zaps? Zap others regularly. No one respects folks who have sent 1k in zaps, but have received 5k. Same goes for your ratio of original posts to replies.
"But Dikaios1517, then I won't ever be making a profit from Nostr. I will constantly be spending more sats than I am receiving."
Yes. Recognize that others are collectively providing you far more value than you are providing to everyone else. This is the way it should be.

I think I might have been able to resolve the issue using this! We'll see shortly. Waiting for NextCloud to finish updating again.

2025-03-03 20:45:53

Alright, having received no response from any members of @nprofile…xf89 support in their Discord server for the last 3 days, I'll put the question to the #Nostr community instead.
Anyone running an #Umbrel ever tried to update an app and have it sit at 99% for HOURS until you finally decide to reboot your Umbrel, only to have that app show as "Not Running" and you can't interact with it at all through the GUI?
I had this happen with NextCloud last week, and still haven't figured out how to resolve the issue. Looking at the logs for NextCloud shows the following error:
nextcloud_app_proxy_1 | Error waiting for port: "The address 'nextcloud_web_1' cannot be found"
nextcloud_app_proxy_1 | Retrying...
The above just seems to endlessly repeat.
Looking through the Umbrel OS logs for "nextcloud" returned the following result:
Mar 03 20:30:28 umbrel dockerd[503]: time="2025-03-03T20:30:28.630296620Z" level=error msg="[resolver] failed to query DNS server: 1.1.1.1:53, query: ;nextcloud_web_1.\tIN\t A" error="read udp 10.21.0.31:44480->1.1.1.1:53: i/o timeout"
Anyone have an idea of what to try in order to resolve the above?

Zaps will go to your Primal wallet so long as your primal lightning address is in your profile.
For instance, I just zapped you and I am on neither Damus or Primal, but Amethyst.
There is a ton of interoperability between clients.

So, what may have happened here is another client doesn't see hashtag follows as belonging in a kind 3 note and purged them when @nprofile…a29m updated her follow list from that app, if I am understanding correctly?

@nprofile…pyug is Amethyst using the npub's standard follow list for following hashtags or is it a separate kind? I was under the impression it was separate.

Thanks for the clarification, sir!
Now you have me curious about why NIP-46 isn't a good fit for iOS, though.
I generally think of a phone as the ideal device for NIP-46 signing, since it can more easily act as the one device for all your persinal signing needs.
I agree with @nprofile…nkr4's assessment here:

It's a Nostr thing. Baked into the culture here just like the 🤙 and zaps.

It is only beneficial in a client that allows you to see that relay's feed separately. So Jumble or Coracle would be the main ones.
The benefit it provides is surfacing content you are likely to be interested in, based on how you have interacted with other npubs in the past, but maybe have missed due to it being buried too far down your chronological feed.
Now that you can change the weighting for the algorithm yourself, you get to decide the type of notes it will surface for you. In other words, now the algorithm works FOR YOU, not against you like centralized social media.
I can try my hand at writing a tutorial later this evening.

I did Primal for Android already. Going to do some others before I circle back to Primal web.

I believe so. Lightning address is just a human readable way to access a LNURLp that requests an invoice from the lightning node that hosts your wallet, if I am correctly understanding how it works.

Here's the trouble with this idea. You don't have to use your private key to just log in, and then you are free to do what you want until you log out. You need to use your key to sign for EVERYTHING!
Want to zap a meme that made you laugh? Your private key must be used to sign.
Want to post a GM? Your private key must be used to sign.
Want to react to a post with a 🤙? Your private key must be used to sign.
Want to mute some reply-bot? You guessed it, your private key must be used to sign.
This means that you would have to tap to sign over and over again. There is no way to pre-emptively sign for everything you could possibly want to do, so it has to be a separate tap for each action you perform.

No zapstream?

2025-02-28 20:16:17

All #Nostr apps where a user is expected to log-in or sign any event with their private key, should support NIP-46.
All Nostr apps on Android should support NIP-55 in addition to NIP-46.
All Nostr web apps should support NIP-07 in addition to NIP-46.
We need a local signing standard for iOS similar to NIP-55 for Android. Is that part of what you are working on @nprofile…c2f7 ?
NIP-46 should be the standard, and other options available based on the platform.
Not sure if bare nsec login should be entirely deprecated, or just strongly discouraged at this point. Open to be convinced either way. Anyone have thoughts on that?

I am right there with ya on the enshittification of digital communication via the overuse of acronyms and other forms of unnecessary short-hand.
Trying to get my kids to not be lazy and actually use full sentences, with proper grammar and correct spelling, since it really isn't difficult with all the tools available to them now. It feels like a losing battle.
I have grown-ass adults I work with that couldn't write a professional email to save their lives. Did I mention that I work in lending, where we communicate in writing with our borrowers all day long? They wouldn't be able to do their job without copy/paste scripts that were written for them that they just have to fill in the blanks.

I wonder if there is a better way to deal with spam/nsfw/and illegal content that sometimes pops up in the AskNostr hashtag. Only displaying notes that have had more than 3 interactions means that people who have legitimate questions that no one has yet answered are less likely to receive an answer, since their post will be hidden.

You can't stop someone from publishing a note, or tagging you in that note.
A "like" on Nostr is just another kind of note with your npub and the event ID tagged in it. There is absolutely nothing that can stop someone else from publishing that note, other than a relay that rejects kind 7 notes. However, that still just means you won't see the note if you are only reading from that relay. It still exists on other relays that did accept it.

@nprofile…644k actually wrote an entire guide on how to set up relays in Amethyst:
#naddr1qv…gjg8
Here's my personal setup:
Outbox Relays:
- nostr.wine - Only those who have paid can write to it, but anyone can read from it. Jumble uses it by default for its "Safer Global" feed.
- relay.nostrplebs.com - Must have paid for a NostrPlebs NIP-05 to have write access, but anyone can read from it.
- My Haven Outbox - Only I can write to it, but anyone can read from it.
Public Inbox Relays
- relay.primal.net - A major public relay that anyone can write to. If I start getting tagged by spammers and bots, this one gets axed from my list.
- My Haven Inbox - Anyone can write to this, but only if they are tagging me, and only I can read from it.
- My WoT Relay - Only those within my web-of-trust can write to this relay. If the two above get spammy, this one probably won't.
DM Inbox Relays
- inbox.nostr.wine - A paid DM inbox relay.
- My Haven DM Inbox - Only I can read from it, and only accepts DMs addressed to me.
Private Home Relays
- My Haven Private Relay - Only I can write to it or read from it.
Search Relays
- I used the defaults.
Local Relays
- Citrine, of course!
General Relays
You have a lot of freedom here. Probably stick with other web-of-trust relays for the most part for anything you are going to use for your Global feed. I do have welcome.nostr.wine in here as well, so I still see new people, but I can get rid of it if it starts filling my Global feed with bots. Amethyst also is helpful about telling you what relays folks you are following are using, so you can add them as general relays. If it's anything like me, the top one is relay.damus.io, but if you add it, I would turn off Global for that relay.
