the fact that many wallets dont do business in US/NY shows a bit how LN is hard for many, Strike, WoS, Phoenix make this easy but they dont operate there. what about Zeus?

1 has a solution, paid relays. i dont see bots anyway. influencers dont come because 1) they dont need, they dont have much to gain, mostly bc there is no Algo that they can leverage and use in their favor.

I'm using amethyst, I don't think amethyst does that, wine relay is just a one time payment, they have their own web page and it's very simple, but yes I don't don't think there is a unified UX to manage subscriptions. I think it's more than a Nostr problem it's a problem for any LN subscription and Nostr can fix that imo.

Yes i am, bc btc will be a prime target, because bitcoin changes are slow, and because sometimes things move faster than we expect. No one predicted chatgpt and it came out of nowhere, if QC with 1M qbits is announced out of nowhere, btc would dump hard and many coins would be at risk.

I'm not wizard level like most devs around here but either nostr uses an algo like this, or clients "ask" and some services (dvm) provide that, or there should be some well known list of relays specialized in user profiles/relays.

I tried but stop using it because I had some balance in ecash an another balance in liquid, the wallet shows a single balance, so when I tried to zap I couldn't even though I had something like 700 sats then I saw it was in liquid, didn't find that very intuitive.

It's very possible that the payments use case will be top-bottom, meaning banks and fintechs will use bitcoin as a backend for fast worldwide transactions, just like Strike. Once banks have that, you will be able to pay with bitcoin anywhere and the receiver can get btc or fiat right to the bank account, again like Strike does, in that moment btc can be used as payment anywhere.

Don't know why people think nostr can compete on this, it probably can't at least now and with this model, Twitter is a company, generates revenue, has ads that generate money, nostr has none of that currently.

I think there's a minimum amount to open a channel. Below that it's either ecash or Liquid. Onchain is onchain.

I think nostr has some problems with discoverability, where is the data? An npub in wich relays can i find it. Pkaar seems to solve this, on the other hand what pubky for now, seems a bit harder to start, requires more infra imo, nostr it's the easiest thing, also I don't know if pubkey allows redundancy of data, multiple homeservers, or how to move data to a new homeservers. Pubky also has an advantage atm, it has a company behind it, this touches the recent bazaar VS cathedral post of John Carvalho. BTW we have NostrErrorLog and a John carvalho wich one is fake? Lol. CC: @nprofile…j4w0

2024-10-31 12:52:23

So, does this mean we will use pkarr keys as our identity and source of truth and nostr npub will just be a record entry that we can change and in a way be able to rotate? clients will use pkarr key to look for the nostr npub that you actually follow, and if it knows the old npub and the new npub and when it changed (this might be tricky prob.) the client could show you the notes of the person you follow in a seamless way without you ever knowing that he changed npub along the way. Could this all be done using only nostr? probably but i think it would be a bit more complex. Don't know i am bit retarded on this may this doesn't make any sense.

TY. I have a better understanding now.

2024-10-31 00:19:05

I still don't get pubky/pkarr advantages over nostr, I have some dumb questions that might help me understand:
1- in the pkarr demo you can add key value pairs to you pkey, that is published to some resolver/node? How is that different from a nostr relay? Because we can also add any data to our profile metadata.
2- if I want to publish a "note", what do I do? Where do I publish it? Assuming i won't host anything myself.
3- related to 2, is there any format for the data?

I have to see some code examples first, one of the things I like about nostr is the ease of development and transparency, it's very simple and easy to check your notes on a relay. If Pubky is easy enough and offers more possibilities it might be interesting.

The problem for me is I can't add any lnaddress from someone, let's say just a Strike user and tag with a name. This would be like the private contacts, as for the public contacts from nostr I wish I could add/pick the npubs that I wanted manually i wouldn't even need to have an npub myself or link my npub. The way i see it a contact is always an lnaddress, that is either "hardcoded" manually or it's "dynamic" because it's a nostr user and the lnaddress is what he has in his profile.

2024-10-13 15:40:34

Minibits handles nostr contacts but it's everyone you follow, there's a difference between people you want to follow on social media and some people you want to have just as contacts to send sats.

Also thought of a personal curated relay, not only to remove spam but also to have just that relay to read and save mobile data. What I was thinking was a relay where only an npub owned by me could write, I would just have a service running and listening to notes from the people I follow and that service would write to that relay, basically doing all the curation.

I think Wot might be something usefull at client level, on the relay side i thing it has to be cleaned by individual npub, not by Wot, each npub pays one time to be able to write to the relay, if they are scumbags they get banned, and all content deleted and they just lost their money, sure they can pay again for a new npub but they risk ban again.

2024-09-18 13:17:13

- reply

Censorship resistance doesn't come from specific relay censorship or not, there is not need to all "accept" this rules, a relay owner can censorship and ban whatever he wants, it's his relay, censorship resistance comes from the protocol design and ease of running a relay. For a "normal" generic paid relay as a user I expect those use cases you mentioned to be cleared from the relay.

2024-09-18 12:53:36

- reply

They pay, spam, get banned. Done. Unless they want to keep paying to get banned, sats are already a Proof of Work. PoW by hashrate can be a good choice to rate-limit notes by each individual npub.

2024-09-18 12:15:33

- reply

They can still begin in open/free relays and with time pay for these relays, it's simpler that all other workarounds like Wot+ip + pow. These can still be used mainly by clients but paying one time it's the simplest and most effective way to fight spammers.

2024-09-18 12:08:28

- reply

Still think people are overthinking this, one time pay for relay access should be enough, spammers could pay for a few npubs but after being banned from the relay they would not spend money again.

2024-09-18 11:08:10

- reply

One time payment(1-5 usd) for relay whitelisting should be enough, they can pay, but once they get banned from the relay doubt they would pay again.

https://nostr-broadcast.pages.dev it doesn't let you specify the relays, but it should do the work if you want to "refresh" old notes to make sure they don't dissappear.

2024-09-06 16:13:48

- reply

Doesn't need to be 50k to prevent spam even 5k sats would probably be enough, a spammer could spend 50k or even more to spam in a single relay, but then all the bots would be banned after a short time and he would have to spend again. I would see a zap to reply as a way to prevent troll comments and I think it would be a cool feat, as long as we have options we will use them the best way.

2024-09-06 14:47:59

- reply

Overkill imo. Could be a new feat, similar to "only the ones who I follow can reply" it would be nice to have but for spam like replyguy it would be tideous to zap every note. Paid or whitelisting relays are the solution imo, pay once and that's it, minimal to no spam in the relay.
