That is; there is good reason to use particular kinds, if only for filtering/search/exploration reasons, besides other fancy context/application specific usecases.
But alt-tags should be able to either atleast load something such that its somewhat clear i am looking at instead of producing an error of some kind; and in cases such as this it could provide the minimal viable userexperience

You have to switch your thinking, things can work the other way around on Nostr. Ive have yet to nail down the right words/metaphore, but il take a swing.
On a platform, they determine the online reality; everything that passes their gates is now part of that world, and in second instance you can chose what to actively ignore.
Here, its the other way around; you determine your online reality; the people you follow, the relays you use etc. and in second instance you can decide to broaden your horizon.
The difference is in the fact that a Nostr client is this 'active' thing facing the chaos, instead of a 'passive' interface for a central (supposed) order.
Not saying all current clients totally nail this, and that its easy and without problems, risks or whatever. But on Nostr the default is that everything is fake, everything is spam, everyone is a bot and its all noise; but you actually equiped to navigate the mess.

'Unthinkable', yes, indeed, they are unaware; unaware of the risks they run by attaching themselves to a platform, unaware of the nature/architecure of the problem, unaware of the sollution.
They "feel" they have no alternative, just as much they "feel" there are issues. Same goes for the audience side, that "feel" there are issues with platforms(the algos, dark patterns etc) and "feel" there is no way out (and why many probably welcome government intervention, if not out of sheer desperation).
Obviously converting the center in a single day is not a thing, but especially these days there is a whole lot there in the margin that is ready for 'capture'; and going back to Williams original post, is a matter of getting the point across

Censorship resistance is not just that things keep working despite someone else fucking you over; it also means things keep working despite someone else fucking up.
Perhaps usefull to put more emphasis on the latter. People might think 'well who would want to fuck me over, i dont need it', but its very clear to people that relying on others not fucking up is a fulnerability they might want to do without.
On its own it is just the more sensible practical way of doing things on a system-level, and as such has nothing do with shady super spy ninja shit, or whatever image 'censorship resistance' evokes in peoples minds, at all; you just want your stuff to go from A to B, thats it.

Well, about any client already supports this in the sense you can log-in with an npub; but i mean you do effectively the same thing whilst being logged in with your own nsec, and can just follow, comment, post, like etc.

Sure, but i still think the 'take the feed/perspective' from an npub, something appearently primal already lets you do, is the most straight forward. In most cases you got to Nostr via someone, so just addopt their perspective as a bootstrap.

Thank you @nprofile…pyug and @nprofile…qmrf . Nice talk.
Its kind of absurd how under the radar Nostr is, while if you sum it all up in this rather relaxed conversation; the many clients; the interoperability; oh sure yeah seems we basically there in terms of private (group)chats; oh yeah we got this whole medical records thing in the works; oh btw we have implementations to do all these fancy cryptographic things; oh right yeah no we use bitcoin all the time on a daily basis etc etc etc
You guys should have used bullhorns and sirens, fireworks and go go dancers or something because i just cant take it this stuff is not headline news everywhere haha.

There is no such thing as a presidential election in suriname, and her current position on the list for the party she is with is 21.
It is all very unclear how she is could be "running for president", and as far as i know, no-one ever asked her about this in any of the interviews/interactions she has had within the Bitcoin space. Meanwhile she actively pushes this 'running for president' narative, and without any clarification all of this is highly doubious.

Unfortunatly i think you are correct. If there is one thing these people cant stand it is stuff they cant controll. The moment you present them something that is actually open, they complain it does not comply with their endless list of requirements. Same thing with Bitcoin

2025-03-31 15:42:06

If apps allow me to 'log in' with whatever Npub to check out that perspective; why can't i just do effectively the same thing while being logged in with my own nsec?
With a tiny bit of UI effort, it makes onboarding so much better because people can start out using their friends perspective; odds are they have similar friend and interests and they have direct access to that stuff.
Also, is there are 'you might also know/be interested in' DVM, that provides a list of suggested Npubs based on your current follow list, or perhaps better, selected lists?
Lastly, the current follow list is conflated; following and trusting an npub are not the same thing.
Now all this list flexibility does make things a bit more complicated (what happens when you press 'follow' for example, it would imply some dropdown menu asking you for what list this follow would apply), so how about a toggle between default 'simpleton' mode for how things work now, and a 'Nostr' mode that opens the door to do all these quintessential Nostr things?
Ideas are cheap, so here you go

I wondered about this yesterday.

The point is (i think) the platform server is this coherent database of 'all the things' (which is a lie, because its not all the things on the internet etc.etc.).
This means that there is a known state (i.e. 'global'), and subsequently a perspective on that state (the feed). Choosing your algo is therefor a differing perspective on the same thing.
In Nostr, gathering all the events is just as much a part of the process as the filtering is

What the particular npub.pro page looks like is indeed determined by the owner, and yes it would require an implementation on the npub.pro side; a minimal viable render should be fairly easy to write and then you can request @nprofile…hde8 to add it is what i am saying :).
Generally implementing a kind in other clients is not your concern, but giving users atleast an option outside of your own client (especially if its the first and therefor only implementation), and in this case a fairly 'universal' one in the form a webpage.
Its not so much about npub.pro specifically, it could be something else as well.
It also is yet another example implementation/render, that developers can have a look at/take inspiration from, especially because its outside of the particular usecase-client context. I.e. 'how would/could i display these exercise things in my not-exercise client'.

No. You said that it depends if you have a direct channel, which is wrong. You don't need a direct channel; intermediate hops/nodes are also peers.

To Nostr, is to have an active stance. Instead of leaning over backwards, simply trusting a single source to answer your every request while it does all the lifting; in Nostr each part involves some (concious) action.
When you publish, you sign, you decide what relay(s) to broadcast it to, you maintain your record of what relays you employ such that others can find it. And it is because of this active stance you can route around censorship.
When you want to read something, appart from being limited to what you can find, you very much decide on what it is you get to see. You decided on your context, which informs the many vectors u use to determine if something relevant; be that follow-lists and carefully crafted heuristics, or the decission to outsource these things.
Obviously most of these actions are or will be automated, and such their concious nature will also drift towards the backgroud perhaps. And eventhough the masses likely will end up far more passive then we want to see them; in this Nostr context they at the very least choose to do so.

I don't have a good feed;
I am missing replies;
I see terrible things;
There are bots everywhere;
Etc.
People, all Nostr does is put the matter of perspective on foreground.
Bias is both your sword and your shield, use them. You are free to discriminate, use it to your advantage. Bias, discrimination etc. are only 'bad things' when everyone is stuck in the same 'space', which introduces this notion of 'fair' only because there is someone to complain to that has power/controll.
What is great about Nostr, is that perspectives are easy to swap out, a thing that will probably become fancy at some point; but nothing is stopping you from putting in the Npub of a 'popular' nostrich your like into your clients in order to see what they are seeing.
Your feed/perspective problems are not a Nostr problem, its a you problem for not being aware that you have all these options now.

As mentioned earlier, heatpumps are more efficient and obviously the capital cost is far higher for miners; a chunk of metal just tends to be cheaper than fancypancy silicon.
That said, mining hardware is weird in that they can just become worthless real fast (in how they are priced it is just a leverage on BTC basically, and as a result it is hillarious people got loans based on those machines but i digress), so perhaps getting miners at a well timed moment for dump prices might, maybe, do the trick.
Then there also is a difference in how much space things take up, complexity (failure rates,repair costs)... all in all it is maybe a nice fantasy but as a general statement i will conclude that its bullshit. Especially because the asshole who wrote this had the balls to say it provides free sats, thats just a straight up lie.
Oh and given it will be old shitty hardware, in terms of hashrate its going to be inherrently marginal, at least for now

The problem is not the nostr event/note, that already exists on multiple relays; and even if it were removed completely, it could be reuploaded at some later time. This is because nostr events/notes are self contained things, and people can verify them because they are signed and hashed.
To illustrate: lets say some archieologist digs up a harddrive with this thread on it, but the original post is not there, yet there are all these responces to this original post. And then 100 years later, someone digs up a clay tablet that has this particular OP written on it; this means they can solve this age old mystery because the event ID (which is a hash of the post itself) matches; They can verify that this was what everyone was responding to.
Now, the issue arives with the video. Because this event contains a link, and obviously that link will be broken, primal servers dont exist anymore in this far far future. In other words, we dont know what that video file is supposed to be, we only know where we were supposed to find it, and that place no longer exist; hence there is nothing to verify, even if you'd find the correct video in some other place.
We have a standard that adresses this (in theory for the most part, in practise its a bit of a different story due to lack of development/implementation), called blossom, which hashes files such that that is now how we reference them. I was just pointing out that this is not being used here, and therefore when the link dies, the nostr event might still exist but it became useless; if it referenced the hash of the video, the same "dig up a random clay tablet in some random place on some random time" principle would apply.
I.e. its the fundamental difference between referencing a thing directly, or referencing a location. The old web relies on location ; your email adress is @ (get it? "At") some domain, your instagram post is an instagram post because it 'comes from' instragram dot com etc. Nostr flips this on its head, puts the thing itself central using hashes as a naming scheme, and subsequently relies on 'hints'/'suggestions' as to where that thing may or may not be found; and if you can't find it, you can always go and look to see if you perhaps find it elsewhere, because you know what you are looking for and can verify that you found it.
Hope all of this makes some sense :)

Instead of sharing a https:// link, try the following

Take that entire string "note1pgmgeq0v4qmgu6l3sqmha9fhng5q4prlp2myz2ufgaksnsvsqnyqf05ypw"
And put nostr: infront of it. This will result in the following
#nevent1q…3yuf
Way better than a link to a webpage ;).
You can get the noteID directly in primal by selecting 'Copy note id'.
You should actually use nevent, but dont know how to get that in Primal, so i wont bother you with that for now.
PS, referencing a profile works the same way, but instead of using the noteID, you use the Npub.

Oh, this video can very much be taken down, by primal in fact. It is not a blossom video, just a regular old link "https: //m.primal. net/NvIK. mov", and that link can die. And then the video is gone🤷‍♂️.
The note containing that link will we a lot easier to keep alive though, for starters because it is on two relays at least; but it wont be of much use at that point now would it.
Now if it were a blossom upload, then it could still be taken down, but can be put back up elsewhere, and hopefully your client can figure out where to find it 🧐

Nothing is being co-opted thusfar, but to your point:
The geopolitcal arena of inter-state affairs is actually the most logical usecase for censorship resistant money ergo Bitcoin.
Case in point the sanctions on Russia and them being banned from swift and therefor the international banking system.
By its very nature Bitcoin, starting from 0 coins in circulation at a price of 0, required a grassroots bottomup ascendancy; but don't be confused, as it stands now, when addoption and use keeps growing, the 'plebs' will be priced out of use (in a sovereign way atleast), whilst the state-level usecase will remain, regardless if they happen to be the last in line to addopt.
But thats last bit has a large technical component, which might (hopefully) change (a bit).

And 'we' will, for it is not illegitimate, their 'demands' are fair and reasonable; but the issue arrises that they deem their bells and whissles as a minimal viable requirement. As a result they will put it in whatever base protocol they come up with on the one hand, and only begrudgingly build it on top of another protocol if it turns out that is the direction the world is going.

How did you back up your key?
As far as i am aware primal does not give you this option, but other clients do:
You can store your key with a password in a 'ncryptsec'. That way it is easier to store (because even if someone gets it, they still need to know the password).

A kid friendly app is doable, but i recon it will take a while before we get there; by its very nature it has a large amounts of requirements to serve its purpose well.
It is something that is in the back of my mind a lot though, not just content filtering, but also restrictions with what people they can connect/interact, based on your own social network as a parent for example.
I really think we can build seemingly 'open' online enivornments that are not dull, for kids of a wide range of ages to explore and interact in a safe manner full of interesting, entertaining and usefull content.
The reason i say 'open', is because i think the crucial part in all of this is that they dont have to all use the same app, and need to be in the same 'environment'/silo with the same rules. The kids with the strict parents and the ones with the more liberal parents can still interact with eachother regardless what app to the extend the 'policies' overlap. This mitigates the FOMO, alienation etc. dynamics that are ruthless among kids, and will undermine any attempt to 'shelter' them otherwise.
In this context they can gradually as they get older, work their way towards the 'no guardrails' hellscape that is the open internet.

Let me quote the inventor:
"it's not an acronym, it's a word, with an acronym shoved on top of it for increased meaning."

Its not an account, because you are not registering anywhere.
And its Nostr, not NOSTR; why? Because NOSTR is ugly, thats the reason it is a word rather than an acronym 🤷‍♂️
Welcome and good luck :)

Dont know what app you installed, but there are a whole bunch of them; some are indeed similar to X, or 'micro blogging' as it is refered to in general. Others focus more on long-form content like articles (one such app is called yakihonne), or pictured similar to instagram (olas for example). There are cooking recipe apps, chat apps, audio/video chat room apps...
The same protocol and its socialgraph can be leveraged to build an appstore (zapstore for example), wiki's.
And you can use the same profile you use now in all of them, carrying your socialgraph (the people that follow you, and the people you follow) with you.

A zap is a direct payment. The numbers you see are actually 'sats' or 'satoshis' the smallest unit of a bitcoin (0.00000001 ₿). With the current exchange rate of about 100k$/BTC the math is actually fairly easy, roughly 1000 sats per dollar.
This means Ian right now roughly made 670$ worth in bitcoin on his post right now.
You will have to set up a wallet and connecy it to your Nostr profile in order to receive zaps. There should be enough documentation out there, and otherwise ask around and hopefully someone will help you on your way.
Welcome and goodluck :)

Yes we can! https://nostrnests.com is one such option. You can log in with your nostr profile.
Good luck

Thats ok, we will get you there.
You can consider starting over and using https://start.njump.me to set up a new profile. Just take the time to read the accompanying tekst and it will clarify a lot. Should not take too much time. After this, you can use the identity you have created in all the different Nostr apps :)
Good luck

Welcome Ian, and new people that followed you to Nostr.
Hopefully this series of short quirky videos will make some things click, especially some of the nuances around censorship.
This is the mission:
#nevent1q…3lza
The core notion of censorship resistance, i.e. retaining your following:
#nevent1q…unve
Breaking free from the silos, and having everything tied to your unique name:
#nevent1q…h7k5
Nostr is pro-censorship, and that is a good thing:
#nevent1q…jt49
And all of this allows for a whole new web, if, we manage to build it correctly:
#nevent1q…39wh

Target audience is FOS developers that are bothered to come to a conference for FOS developers to find out stuff about FOS projects.

You are not wrong, but also missed the obvious which you might have arrived at if you'd stick to the metaphor;
You are saying the townssquare is not the breakout usecase, sure, but whatever 'establishment' get super popular is still connected to that square.
Thats what the square is; the center to all the shops, restaurants, cafes, theaters etc.

@nprofile…jye9 has a cooler name and logo though, so suck it.

Roger.
Agreed.
One question though, dont these central servers use fancy indexing heuristic magic things to optimize their processes, rather than bruteforcing itself through long lists of things though?
Still leaves the fact that with Nostr querying multiple relays distributes computes regardless
