Fixed the BlueSky trending box. Let me know if anyone has any problems publishing on BlueSky. I was having some issues with the authentication expiring.

This is why the on-chain part is optional. It's mainly for posts you are committed to being forever as part of a human archive. Journalism or whistle-blowing come to mind. Also there are many levels of blockchain. More expensive blockchains like Bitcoin are for more permanent data. Etch.social posts to Base and Arweave by default. Base does not even try to have long term guarantees. Arweave does, but claim it will be around for a hundred years, but we don't know that yet. We're making trade offs for economic purposes.
I appreciate your input. Ultimately I'm trying to give people the option where it didn't exist before as well as attempting to link multiple decentralized networks. We've added BlueSky now. Event if we add all the decentralized networks together they don't even come close to the size of the smallest centralized network. That's one reason I think it's important to start building bridges. I don't just care about decentralization existing. I also want decentralization to win in a practical sense. This means getting users and one things users care about is exposure for their content (I think).

Went to Honda dealer to do vehicle inspection, oil change, tire rotation and rear differential fluid change. They said $230. Pep Boys price $140. This is why I've been going to Pep Boys the past 5 years. #pepboys

I think there should be an NIP that allows people to announce that their own key has been compromised. Then clients could mark any messages after that with a warning. You should only be able to do it for your own key though.

Social Graph based feeds are the bane of Western Social media. They divide the internet and create the echo chamber that Facebook and X are famous for. This is why chinese social media was able to come in and disrupt it. So far Nostr is the same way. Etch will create the first Content based social media feed system. The author is only important when you want to view specifically direct follows otherwise content takes priority.

Upon dissecting the way Iris was parsing the feed I discovered why a lot of social media platforms seem to hide new content. At least Iris seemed to place a lot of importance on how far away from you someone is in the social graph. I don't think that is important for new content at all actually. Feeds should be about relevant information, not whether someone is a friend of a friend. This is probably why TikTok has better content discovery to X. Content needs to be prioritized over author to give anyone a chance to succeed.

The only way to test a new platform is to use it yourself. If you’re trying it let me know what works and doesn’t work. What would you like to see?

Humans have been affecting the planet far longer than anyone is willing to admit and that t goes far deeper than carbon emissions. Everywhere the ultimate apex predictor went the large slow land mammals disappeared. When we ran out of easy prey we started farming and everywhere the first framing started is now a desert. Everyone is underestimating our effect of the past 10,000 years.

Of course someone posting on X that X is best. Water is also wet. For most people posting on X is just screaming into the wind. A wind owned wholly by some dude. If I’m going to scream into the wind it might as well not be owned by a single person.

If you make a post on the Nostr network and it doesn't mention bitcoin does it make a sound? #bitcoin

I hope you're including feudalism here, most of human history.

Here's a fun tip! You can export your private key from settings > account and import it into metamask, phantom or any other web3 wallet if you really want to take control of your NFT posts!

Etch.social custom relay server is up. Now we can repopulate it with any of the blockchain content if it ever goes down. Actually anyone can grab events from the smart contract and throw them on any relay server they want. That's the beauty of ERC-7847. Come post over here and immortalize something. We post to Arweave and Base simultaneously. If you don't want to post on chain just don't check the Publish On-Chain box.
Cheers.

Ok the etch.social feed should be behaving much. more consistently now... also added the video tab.

If you're a memecoin trader a great strategy is to go on to https://neo.bullx.io/ then find a top memecoin. In the top traders column sort it by top traders. Label all the wallets with the highest PNLs that also have a track record of other wins. These are the cabal wallets. Then in wallet-tracker section you can see when they all start to trade the same coin. I'm not a huge fan of memecoin trading, but if I was that's how I'd do it.

Etch "Global" feed is now basically just a firehose of everything posted on Nostr. Next will be coming up with an incentive mechanism for people to curate content. I've got something in mind.

Etch.social posts to both the nostr network and the base blockchain. The full contents are posted on base and images are posted on Arweave so the entirety is preserved for all time along with the signatures to prove who wrote it. What do you want to preserve?

If all goes well this should be the first blockchain enabled social media post.
This post will be visible across both the Nostr network and all NFT platforms curtesy of ERC-7847.
