I think what you're missing is that when the PPM value of the forward is below 1 sat, the sender effectively ducks the PPM. Zero base fees encourage spamming the network with 400+ small payments instead of sending a single payment for 600k. The sender only needs to have patience and the ability to write a 20 line bash script, where as compute time, unsettled HTLCs, worker exhaustion and high value liquidity are the cost to the operator.

2024-11-01 12:49:12

For those of you that advocate for zero base fees: here is why you're wrong.

2024-09-29 11:04:19

- reply

well if we really want to get down to the meat of the issue its an abundance of missing information from NIP-11.
If we added @nprofile…vzaw's relay categories to NIP-11, this would not be an issue, because relays could be properly organized and filtered based on purpose. People would not use them on their list simply because it would be obvious that it is of not benefit to them. Services like nostr.watch and more importantly, NIP-66 would optimize delivery based on these values.

2024-09-29 10:18:43

- reply

the most common use of nostr.watch is finding online relays is to assist with relay lists and outbox model. The issue here has everything to do with a bad implementation, and little to do with nostr.watch. if you're not on nostr.watch and a spammer wants to spam, they'll still do without the API.

2024-09-28 13:14:16

- reply

I had a full implementation of NIP-66 completed in NDK, but the PR being open for 5 months and maintaining a fork holding me back so I had to abandon it and have been working to create a toolkit agnostic full implementation. All my existing implementations right now are hardcoded. You can check that PR in NDK for implementation hints.
As a side note: I'm not aware of anyone who has done the ad-hoc implementation that leverages web-of-trust (`some.relay.xyz` was seen by `dan` 2 days ago) As for me ad-hoc reports will be the very last thing I implement. Would make sense that a social client would implement such a thing...

Ah, ok, so much different. Khatru is more of a framework whereas this looks something closer to nostream where there are baked in policies you can configure. I like that there's fine grained control over resources. Can't wait to try it!

What you don't understand, is that the site is in maintenance mode, and this was in the pinned message when you posted. Had you just read it, you may not have written such a message with such an entitled tone.
> can you make the front page load faster.
No. I literally don't owe you anything, other than being a free, you didn't even introduce yourself. This was your introduction.
> It's really slow to the point it's unusable.
It's not useless, thousands of people use it a day. Is it dated, yes? Does it need pagination? Probably, but it's legacy and in maintenance mode. And had you agan, read the pinned message at the time, then you would have found the likely solution
> Why do you make so many things load on the front page.
Again, you didn't read the pinned message or asl any questions.
> It's unnessesary
What's unnecessary is this feedback, because it's useless, ignorant and lazy; all you had to do was read.
And I wasn't upset btw, but I am now. My response to you was pretty standard for someone dealing with someone they don't know being rude and making demands of them like an entitled little brat.
Have you considered that you're projecting? Maybe instead of flaming people foor doing things, you should produce something of value yourself.

Texture, fine granules and appearance, darker brown then compose/dirt (generally). You'll notice an almost uniform fineness, with no chunks of compost. They'll likely need to acclimate before they become active. Also, they aren't as active when it's cold, so depending on where you are you might have to wait a while.

Bitcoin is money. Money is math. Math can be measured and quantified objectively. A trustless system is of the highest importance with a decentralized store of value. Proof of work/Consensus/Incentives are perfect for sound money.
Nostr is identities and connections. Social connections are not math. They cannot be measured or quantified objectively. The fundamental principle of a social dynamic is one that revolves around trust.
These are not the same.
Proof of work in bitcoin functions due to the dynamics between blocks, network consensus and incentives: IE the advent of blockchain.
PoW on nostr is just an arbitrary number to meet a relay's requirements. If a spammer has profit incentive, they simply scale their difficulty accordingly. Someone with an incentive will always be willing to pay a higher price (PoW) than a casual user. The obvious outcome here is an ever increasing difficulty that makes nostr unusable for the average user.
That said PoW notes are most likely part of the solution, but very unlikely to be the entire solution. If I thought it had no value II wouldn't have released notemine last week: https://sandwichfarm.github.io/notemine

2024-09-22 14:07:17

they do but only because clients that filter PoW are fringe. If everyone does it, spammers will create a nostr note miner asic and then it is an arms race (somewhat joking). PoW definitely provides rate limiting.
for example, if kind 0's were pow, then reply guy would have to shift strategies.
I personally think its a multifaceted solution: some wot, some payments, some pow + some other stuff I'm not aware of or we haven't figured out yet.

No. There is presently no objective way to detect WoT relays. Should be added to relay categories, which should then be added to NIP-11. But even then, very few people would correct categorize their relay.
I have some ideas for how to tag relays with categories in an ad-hoc way, but haven't landed on one yet.

Only issue I've always been hung on with relay pubkeys is that the relay has to somewhat consistently provide proofs for its pubkey which adds additional overhead (on top of everything else) for both the relay and the client. Additionally, this requires that the relay have a hot-signer, which adds new requirements for relays in both implementation and security vectors.
That said, when relays have pubkeys that can be discovered in some way, I would add them to `30166` events with `p` tags shortly after. This would be in addition to the `p` tag that is already added when any relay has valid pubkey set in their NIP-11.

Lobby to add a new field to NIP-11 that infers you don't want your relay crawled. I would ignore these relays by default. But be aware, relays are public, and if someone can find your relay then they don't need your permission to publish its existence.

consensus is antithetical to the value proposition of nostr. consensus requires relays know of one another to be useful. the value of dumb relays it he ability to stand up a relay and post notes to it without any consensus requirements. Unless I am misunderstood ding you, this is akin to throwing the baby out with the bathwater. web of trust is the way forward, not trustlessness, social graphs are not finance.
