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?

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.

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.

No need for a new nip, that is done by the client, but any delete request it's not guaranteed that it is done.

People should start worrying more about LN nodes/LSPs censorship resistance and less about Nostr, Nostr will be fine, LN on the other hand, if a node like ACINQ get captured we will be in trouble.

Clients are the targets, relays are not like LSPs, the barrier to run a relay is much lower, big relays and nostr media hosting will be targets, there will be many small relays everywhere.

2024-08-26 21:18:13

- reply

Agree with this, but like you said, it's a relay with an exposed connection on an PC, not on the phone, on the phone it for other use cases imo. Nostr allows many different configurations, that's why it will be fine even if big relays go out.

2024-08-26 20:52:12

- reply

But those are just local relays, and it's fine for your personal notes, but you still need public relays to connect to.

2024-08-26 19:36:21

Don't think nostr relays need to be in the phone, I think it's just as a bad idea as a LN node in the phone, but big Nostr relays will sooner or later end, and it's ok and good for Nostr and Nostr will be fine, what we will need to worry about is regimes scrapping nostr relays seeing some notes they don't like and matching the npub with your identity.

Single pay access is not enough imo, bitcoin spam preventions is transaction fees, not only that but very important is that it's exponential, not linear or fixed value, relays could request a payment to whitelist and then if you start spamming demand another payment and that would increase if you continue. Maybe the other way around could also work, you would start paying a monthly fee and if you behaved nicely over some tine you would start paying less monthly.

Also surprised this hasnt happened yet, mutiny and minibits allows you to send to all the npubs you follow, but i think it's better to segregate the contacts, the people I follow on Nostr social are not the same I want to send payments to.

2024-08-12 11:29:37

When i request a deletion is just in scenarios where I don't need the data anymore, like bookmarks, or amethyst drafts, I'm just trying to help relays by saying I don't need this anymore so it's ok if you delete it. I never request to delete a note because I made some kind of mistake and I absolutely want that gone, that is unlikely to actually work well.

2024-08-12 11:16:46

Don't give people the wrong impression and a false sense of privacy and security by telling them that they can effectively delete notes on Nostr, they can be able to remove notes from most popular relays and think it's deleted when in fact it can be on dozens of other relays. The opposite is also true, , relay operators can do whatever they want, if they want to nuke your notes after 24h they can, they don't have to retain your data forever.

2024-08-12 11:09:13

- reply

But for Ava concerns about privacy/safety and have notes deleted on Nostr, it's either possible or it's not, and it's not, it's just a best try effort, there is no guarantee, all your favorite relays can delete but others won't and anyone can still see it.

2024-08-12 08:20:43

- reply

Well, thats how it works to achieve censorship resistance, if relays block or erase your notes, you and others users rebroadcast to their relays, even clients do that automatically.

2024-08-12 08:18:02

- reply

I told you the options, now it's up to your intentions, if the worry is my "account" and all my data can be all wiped out the next day, unlikely, if your worry is five years from now some notes of mine might have been erased, and you don't want that, then yes, run your own infra.

2024-08-12 02:09:51

With the growth of Nostr we will see relays becoming more specialized in specific kinds of notes.

2024-08-12 01:30:28

- reply

What if I run a relay that does not delete and anyone can still see all your notes?

2024-08-11 19:47:56

- reply

You can add more relays and you can rebroadcast any notes yourself to any number of relays, bitcoin full nodes keep all txs history, nostr relays not necessarily, but the concept is similar, a relay can go out, damus already nuked everything once, but your notes remain in other relays. So to the question you asked, it's diferent bc no single entity can erase or own your data, you have freedom to spread and broadcast as you wish. Another question one can ask is, what nostr data do you want to keep forever, is it worthy to keep social media notes forever? In my personal opinion no, some other stuff yes probably.

You can ask the same question about Bitcoin, Bitcoin is also in someone else's computers. Nostr servers do not belong to a single entity, no single entity controls the protocol or the data, it's transparent and you can see what's in nostr relays and only you control your keys.

Increase in supply is an hard fork, a change in the rules that is not compatible with the current ones, so when you hard fork you are basically creating a new coin with new rules and you need almost everyone to accept that this new coin is still the real one, a majority of miners would have to agree, and most nodes would have to agree also.

Yes, most people will have to work their normal jobs until retirement, but, if you keep in bitcoin you will be able to save enough for a down-payment for a house, or to have a good saving for your retirement (very important!) and pass along to your kids, all thing we currently can't with fiat, bitcoin is hope not because it will make you rich but because you can work, save, and benifit from that in the future, it allows you to think, plan, save and have hope for your future.

Yes. For txs lightning, self custody or not, is probably still the best option, there is also Liquid and Ark is being developed, so there will be many options and all connected by lightning. Each person can choose the best option, in many countries using something centralized like Strike or cash app for lightning is probably fine, in countries were people can't access these serviced they can use other options, Liquid, Fedimint or a wallet like Phoenix or Zeus as an example.

Knowing software development, probably it's not only Elon but a bunch of devs in Twitter and they can probably know that accounts are linked. Privacy on the web is really hard. Nostr by its nature is not good for privacy, because that's not the purpose of the protocol, you can be anon, but everything is public, it's the same problem with onchain bitcoin, censorship resistance and public open protocols are almost opposite of what is required for privacy. Myself personally I have no problem with that, my only concerns are: not having important personal data leaked if there's an hack in any platform, and I don't want people to be able to easily link my many different accounts, but I am very aware that if a gov or gov agency wants to track me they will, no matter what, and that applies to almost everyone.

2024-07-06 13:26:09

- reply

Nostr is open source, things like "trending" doesn't even exist in my client, development has been happening and very fast imo. There aren't enough developers to do all the things that are possible and that people want, even less devs that get paid somehow. Key rotation is a very difficult problem to solve, I guess because of that it's not a priority and for now we must just deal with that, maybe something based on web of trust can solved it. IP and Metadata leaks are just how nostr and the internet works, my advice to people is, don't use your real identity and maybe nuke your npub from time to time. But even that is being worked on other fronts, many apps are moving from url/dns coms to Nostr events, wich is already a big deal, IPs like Vitor said is the last boss, but many projects can be a solution in the future. The thing is Nostr may have some flaws now, but it's already a lot better than other solutions and it has a lot more potential, it just needs time because there is a ton of possibilities and a few devs.

Most plebs are on Nostr and some high profiles, but many of the bitcoin big accounts still think nostr is small and they get no engagement, on Nostr you don't have an algo pumping your account, so here they are just like any other pleb, and feel they don't have the same reach to their audience/followers.

I think it all comes down poverty and being unable to basic living conditions and to provide to their family so this people become very vulnerable to be exploited just for some money or just because they have no family security. Bitcoin fixes many of the root causes of poverty and mostly done by governments themselves like currency debasement (inflation), stealing people's property and savings with some shaddy laws, this all also leads to corruption and failing of institutions like justice, it leads to and overall degradation of the social trust and order. We can see this in some countries. An example it comes to mind to me is normal people, many mothers in Latin America that are vulnerable and can't provide for their kids, and are lured into drug trafficking just for a few dollars, then they get arrested and then their children get even more vulnerable. If people are getting their savings, property and work being stolen, and financial inequality rises due to the nature of fiat and then corruption, then everyone will disregard laws and take more risks to get what they need and crime goes up and victims go up.

The fact that if you don't use a burner your friends can share your contact with other apps it's not a signal problem, it can happen even if you don't use any msg app. If you are a real target of a 3 letter agency, very few apps can help you imo. I use signal bc it does what I want, it does not collect your data or shares with others and it works well, it's magnitudes better than whatsapp in privacy and app experience imo. I just use it as a better privacy option to replace whatsapp, not as a secret chat app to escape 3 letter agencies.
