maybe we should bitcoin+nostr+mcp this hashcash thing https://github.com/TecharoHQ/anubis but make it so that the challenge string (provided by a spam-deterring site operator) is actually the components of a prospective bitcoin block header.
If the operator is too lazy to run their own bitcoin node to construct the block template, then they can grab one from a service like mempool.space
From the visitor's perspective it is the same (they must complete the pow challenge), but at least this way every website operator can also be a solo miner.

Unfortunately there is not an easy way to implement this idea in a backward compatible fashion since nostr event signatures do not currently have a notion of sighash flags. But maybe we should consider adding such a thing?

happy to see that you are also thinking about these sorts of things! Did you look into things like [cjdns](https://github.com/cjdelisle/cjdns/) or [this](https://github.com/yggdrasil-network/yggdrasil-go) ?

`op_ctv` or `op_cat`?

has leaving an iris.to tab open sucked up 3.4GB of ram for anyone else or is this a memory leak?

why is p2pool mining no longer a thing on bitcoin mainnet? coinbase outputs taking up too much of the block space?

2023-12-25 00:04:48

anyone have a current estimate of the total number of unique nostr events happening per second on average across the network?

2023-12-22 22:58:19

- reply

This is really interesting and exciting to see. What about embedding the nostr event id in a fresh bitcoin block template and then grinding on the actual blockheader instead of the nostr event? It is solo mining, and the block template could put various relays, charities, or whoever as recipients in the coinbase output.

It definitely makes sense to try to encourage these inscription things to at least be more efficient with regard to transaction/witness size. Good idea!

actually, clicking "unfollow" on a few of them seemed to get rid of all except 1 of them.

@npub1g53…drvk Is it a bug that when I go to my profile in iris.to and click "follows," it shows me that I am following myself 20 times?

why does my profile have a green checkmark but does not show my nostr address?

2023-11-30 20:40:58

running nostr (again), this time via snort.social and using @fiatjaf nos2x browser extension for signing!

Great tips. Thanks for taking the time to answer! The timeboxing is crucial. I am always more productive when properly timeboxing, but it is easy to fall out of the habit.

seeking nostr desktop client which can be told to use a proxy-server for all traffic. Suggestions?

2022-09-22 18:53:19

- reply

Yeah, that actually feels like the better approach to take. Do you have one live somewhere I could look at? Feels like a nostr-ized on-page support chat could easily double as a contact-me form.

2022-09-22 18:46:27

- reply

Yes that is pretty much what I had in mind. Thanks for the link.

2022-09-21 18:36:54

Does there exist any simple nostr clients fully embeddable in a static html page (think github pages) that could be used as a "contact me" form? The client would then DM me on nostr.

2022-09-19 22:05:16

Very clever! Thanks for making this service.

Looks good so far. So this will help increase sender privacy, but not necessarily receiver privacy. Is that right?

2022-09-15 18:36:20

Looking forward to learning more about this too. Great to see more privacy improvements coming.

:-D I know. Spreadsheets are so "usable" by the masses though, and it is interesting to think about how a spreadsheet on nostr can actually be partitioned, with different cells owned by different users or groups of users (thanks to schnorr).

2022-07-19 16:35:18

also, any desktop nostr clients which can be configured to use a proxy?

2022-07-19 16:30:14

Is there anyone building a spreadsheet app on nostr? Every cell would have its own nostr keypair.

I have been meaning to look into Fedimint, but have not yet had a chance. Would be very curious to know your take if you look into it.

where is the most actively looked at bitcoin job board? Need to privately hire an experienced bitcoin developer to build a small on-chain proof of concept (requires coding custom bitcoin script transaction / redemption). Probably a 2 week project for an experienced person.

fwiw, you may want to check out raspiblitz too. As for wallets on your node, since your node is hosting it, you could use something web-based like LNBits too.

nevermind, I mis-read. I see who he follows and (obviously) I know who I currently follow (it's on the right pane of my branle client). Please ignore this. Sorry for the unnecessary mentions! #[0] !

2022-05-05 02:19:54

why is it that when I (using branle) click on somebody's profile like #[0] I can see who #[0] follows, but when I click on my own profile I cannot?

2022-04-28 19:32:02

Is anybody working on a pay-via-lightning nostr relay with inbound email address mapped to nostr pubkey (delivered via direct message on nostr)? Outbound email could be charged at higher rates to avoid spammers. Might not even need outbound service at all though.

2022-04-18 23:11:16

yes, it is fixed now. Thanks!

2022-04-15 22:51:12

Got it. Now it makes sense why your bot posted something about a recent bitcoin block having 78 bits of nostr difficulty. I thought for some reason you were actually mining on the bitcoin block header, but you were just re-interpreting its hash in this way. Thanks for clarifying.

#[3] did something happen to our blue checkmarks? On the branle.netflify.app client yours gone too, so it is probably not isolated to just me I presume?

2022-04-15 22:37:26

- reply

#[1] This is an interesting idea. Is there somewhere I can read about how you define "nostr difficulty?"

2022-04-15 19:43:12

Is there some sort of daily summary/news bot on nostr yet which I can follow?

2022-04-11 20:51:43

fantastic! I have a blue checkmark now like all the cool kids. Thanks #[5]

Sorry for my delay in reply. I will DM you to set my blue checkmark up too!

I think this is a pretty solid prediction. Great work getting i PoW relay setup!

#[1] how can I get one of these blue checkmarks on branle without owning a domain name? Is there a relay which offers (expiring) NIP-05 codes in exchange for lightning payment?

Not that I know of. In general a video/audio conferencing solution that (client-side) blurs faces and disguises voices to allow for pseudonymous yet real-time collaboration is interesting. I wonder if such things exist?

2022-01-24 17:49:15

- reply

For the address reuse problem, it seems to me like the main solution would be for participants in nostr who want to do payments to adopt (by convention) something like paynym or similar. Alternatively, if nostr has a simple way to switch out a pubkey for a new one...

2022-01-24 17:35:11

- reply

Sorry if you are getting multiple replies @0xtr Branle seems to be lagging for me. But yes, Bolt12 and paynyms is interesting. Hopefully custodial-relay wallets are not really necessary.

2022-01-22 00:56:52

- reply

for implementing payments, two questions:
1. for lightning, are you mostly thinking trusted/custodial (offered by the user's relay?) or something else?
2. since each nostr key can be used to create a valid bitcoin address, what do we do to prevent/discourage address re-use?

2022-01-22 00:36:23

- reply

It is unclear to me whether I have any followers yet.

2022-01-22 00:32:06

if the pubkey of your nostr profile receives one ore more on-chain bitcoin payments, now we are reusing bitcoin addresses which is a no-no. Is there a clever solution to this? maybe paynyms or something?

2022-01-21 03:32:26

- reply

exactly!! Some people may choose to pay for a premium relay that offers some additional services such as event archival and such.

ah! this exaplains why when I migrated to a new browser session, copying/pasting the old mnemonic, i lost all the people I was following such as yourself?
