About the conference: I was very happy to learn some days ago that such a conference was going to take place. I had some hopes that the previous Nostrasia would be a Japanese thing but apparently it was a full-on English thing with just foreigners and no Japanese people in it, so now I am happy that you're doing this one.
It was a blessing when all of a sudden we started seeing Japanese characters being sent to Nostr in the beginning of last year and I couldn't read them, but every time I tried to translate them I would get some pictoresque joke related to poop or alpacas, completely out of context due to the air-reply style of the conversation, naturally formed around the existence of relays dedicated to the Japanese community.
(By the way, me and some others have been trying to promote the idea of having "community" relays on Nostr for a while, and it oftens falls into deaf ears, meanwhile that was the first thing the Japanese community did, so that was very inspiring.)
I still don't understand the Japanese people on that are on Nostr, I've tried to talk to some members of the community in order to understand them, but most of the times I left the conversation more confused than before, but I think that is great and fits perfectly into the "embrace the chaos" Nostr ethos.

I'm using a list of "spam-safe" relays but apparently I am missing a lot of replies from people whose clients are sending their replies to my inbox relays.
When browsing other people's notes, though, this technique doesn't work well or needs more thought because people replying to others are not going to send their replies to my own inbox list of relays.

I advertise relay.westernbtc.com and pyramid.fiatjaf.com, so these get a high score on Gossip, but Gossip also noticed that my notes usually appear in nos.lol, so that factored in its internal calculations (remember that scoring table from https://how-nostr-works.pages.dev/#/outbox ?, Gossip has a similar thing internally).

I have just started running @nprofile…auwv and timestamping all events published to pyramid.fiatjaf.com with NIP-03 (OpenTimestamps). The timestamp events, kind 1040, are published to @npub18kz…x5sz's cellar.nostr.wine which is not going to delete them -- and to some other relays.
Somehow this will protect the humanity against the AI takeover in the future, so I recommend other people to do the same with other events. The source code is at https://git.fiatjaf.com/ots_nbot and you can customize the relays, kinds and authors it tries to timestamp, among other things, via environment variables.
If you don't understand how such a simple gesture has such immense powers, listen to Antihashed Podcast episode where this is explained, or ask @npub1t6j…ksrw.

You have to interpret the instructions depending on your context. Khatru doesn't have an "allowed pubkeys list", that must be defined specifically by your relay implementation.

I have now read Peter Todd's review on Bitcoin L2's and covenants and found it incredibly underwhelming. Even though the title is "review" I wasn't expecting it to be really just a review. It basically contains no new insights or analyses, actually it refrains from commenting on most topics based on the fact that "there has been no analyses of this" and then it just proceeds to provide descriptions of things that should have already been known by anyone who did a little bit of research into any of the topics. While reading the essay you get the impression that all L2s are bad and no soft-forks are worth doing, but then in the end it does some sleigh of hands and concludes that CTV is great just because it is the highest common denominator among all the pool of uselessness described previously.

I would only give that title to something that is interoperable or potentially interoperable with other apps. Some random spammer abusing relays as free storage isn't a real client, for example.
An app can also use Nostr identities and consume Nostr data but not want to be interoperable, and I think that makes it not a client, or a partial client, but that isn't a bad thing either. We don't have to use Nostr events for things not suited for Nostr events.

I really don't get the people that complain that they don't get followers on Nostr because there is no algorithm.
I never got any followers in any of these platforms with algorithms (even though I used them actively for years), except when by some unexplicable hit of luck some people started using @lntxbot on Telegram and by word-of-mouth it got to Alex Bosworth and he mentioned it on tweet and then my follower count slowly grew from 50 to like 5000 over a 3-year period.
Is there a magic trick that allows you to go from 0 to 100000 by gaming the algorithm these days and then scam your followers a high-ticket course about how to get followers and become a millionaire? Or what are these people talking about? Why do they even want followers in the first place?

I was just thinking that it would be good to define a standard for recipes on Nostr, probably with a different kind, with some relevant tags. The current way is kinda bad because it abuses the long-articles NIP and then includes some proprietary (and very long) "t" tags. Do you have any thoughts?
And then we need some other client to prove that the standard is good and then to show how can you display or interact with recipes differently.

I was thinking that exposing files at exact commits would be simpler, but then I realized that to get the exact commit you would need an API that returns all references and HEAD (separate from the repository state event) and then I realized that to build a GitHub-like way to browse files on gitworkshop you'll also need all these things, plus a history of commits, metadata about all commits and so on, right?
Which brings me back to: why not do a full repository clone on the browser and get all that data at once? Is it just the big size of things?

I see, so the answer is the kind 31338? Both fanfares.io and npub.pro could both become RSS bridges sourcing from people's 31338 events instead of kind 1, and publishing a podcast could become a thing that doesn't require a platform, you just publish events and later you use any bridge out there to provide an RSS feed -- until podcast players start connecting to relays directly instead of using RSS (there is a PR to AntennaPod already, we just have to change the kind number and event format).
I'm not interested in the Lightning-gated stuff for now, and I think that will be the last thing someone publishing a podcast will worry about, since podcast players won't support it, but I think in the future that could become interesting too.

One common complaint we hear from Nostr haters is that there is no economic incentive to run relays or that the network will be centralized in a few central big relays. These claims often come from confusion or misunderstandings.

This is now implemented in https://git.fiatjaf.com/song and its companion pre-push hook:
#nevent1q…e7qw
Hopefully it will work with ngit soon, but it works without ngit now using just the pre-push hook:
mkdir flower
cd flower
git init
git remote add origin http://yoursongrelayandserver.com/flower
ln -s (which song-pre-push) .git/hooks/pre-push
git config song.signer '<nsec-or-bunker-url>'
echo 'peony' > name
git add .
git commit -m 'add name'
git push origin master -u
And the pre-push hook will sign a kind:30618 and push it to the server. The server will check that it comes from you and store it if it does, and will create a repository on its side upon receiving the event (named "flower"). Then the git push will proceed and since the kind:30618 has the correct branch name and the commit id in it, it will be authorized.
The next time you have a commit you can just git push and it should work normally.
Later you can publish a kind:30617 with more metadata if you want, and if that includes a "maintainers" tag then those maintainers can also create branches and push to your 'flower' repo.
I guess I should write this in the song README file.
