Sorry for my bad golang code, just wanted to contribute to nip44. It passed all the tests before it was audited. After the security audit, more test vectors were added and I updated the code to fix the missing boundary checks and pass all new test vectors.
If all implementations pass the same test vectors, they should all be compatible, no?

What messenger do you recommend? I mainly use SimpleX, Signal and TG but I think TG might even be worse than WA because it's not even using E2EE. But so many (bitcoin) groups are on TG.

Currently half-way through my first podcast episode with @npub1qny…95gx in it and now I can look past his notes in all caps. I guess @npub1qny…95gx wouldn't be @npub1qny…95gx without ALL CAPS.
Great episode, fwiw, you might be the person with the best balance between being authentic, serious, funny, confrontational and relaxed I've ever heard speaking.
Btw, do you have something to say about the people that never signed up to twitter? Do they get something? I'd settle for a reply on nostr so I can feel special for a day.

Does this include channels to centralized services like SN? When we support self-custodial wallets, a channel to SN should make a lot of sense for zero fees.

When did you leave?
Asking because we do have filtering mechanisms; it's just not enough for some stackers but we will continue to work on it.
For example, we released "greeter mode" in Sep 2022 [0] which is off by default. This means you won't see any free items by (new) users unless you enable greeter mode.
And a week before that, we released "wild west mode" [1]. This works similar to greeter mode but acts on items that other stackers downzapped. This is also off by default. So if you want to make up your mind about stuff yourself, you can enable it and downzaps of other stackers will not have an effect on your feed.
And just a few days ago, we released muting territories [2] which works similar to muting users [3]. This means you can now filter your feed not only by muting users but by muting whole territories, too.
So maybe you didn't know all of that and you might want to give SN a try again?
Feedback is also always welcome!

From your link:
"LOIC attacks are easily identified in system logs, and the attack can be tracked down to the IP addresses used."
So I don't consider this to be effective DDoS. I consider Cloudflare to be a more authoritative source on this matter.
Also, where is the source that activists used this? Were they successful using LOIC?

2023-12-28 19:59:36

Because effective DDoS uses massive bandwidth that you don't just have access to as an individual or company or whatever. No one needs so much bandwidth so no one would get so much bandwidth is my educated guess.
"A distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack is a malicious attempt to disrupt the normal traffic of a targeted server, service or network by overwhelming the target or its surrounding infrastructure with a flood of Internet traffic.
DDoS attacks achieve effectiveness by utilizing multiple compromised computer systems as sources of attack traffic. Exploited machines can include computers and other networked resources such as IoT devices."
-- https://www.cloudflare.com/learning/ddos/what-is-a-ddos-attack/
So I would say citation required to "I am pretty sure activists have done it before without bot networks". I tried searching for "DDoS without botnet", but all I find is search hits about how to do DDoS with botnets. And I am talking about effective DDoS. Not DoS.

Okay, I see, I can indeed configure this in the settings. But I would have expected an input. What if I want to be very specific with my zaps? Am I expected to configure my settings in that case?

Another nostr mind fuck: Why can't I say myself how much I want to zap on primal? I just had to zap 2x42 + 1x21 to get something close to 100 sats.
Am I missing a setting or something?

I like this idea, it sounds similar to how zapping on Stacker News works. We also take a fee but mainly for sybil resistance to protect our ranking algorithm. We give these fees back to the best users at the end of the day.

I don't usually post on nostr since I still feel like a n00b in this space and I am not comfortable with attention from strangers yet.
However, I want to get comfortable and I am interested in other opinions on my opinion. So I'll also share on nostr what I posted on SN regarding the Ordinals DDoS and @npub1lh2…a9nk response:
>> “How dare you call it a DDoS. Pretty sure everyone involved is paying their internet bills.”
>
> Uhm, usually DDoS is done via botnets so it's not the attackers that pay the internet bill but innocent people with malware on their machines. This means the attackers definitely do not pay for the full bandwidth that reaches the target.
So I don't think this analogy holds tbh.

What do you think? Was @npub1lh2…a9nk analogy still reasonable?

Hi, I don't think we should change the icon from @npub1a6z…vhjk that we've been using for quite some time now (since August, actually: https://stacker.news/items/221420) just because another designer mentioned us on nostr now.
Also, I did check out your icons when I was implementing nostr auth and I would have actually preferred to use your icons but something blocked me from it. Was it that there were no SVGs available at the time? I don't remember so please don't hang me if you always had SVGs available, lol!
Anyway, I hope you can understand that it wouldn't be fair towards @npub1a6z…vhjk to change the icon :)
Also, I believe @npub1a6z…vhjk even advertised their icons on SN in the past but can't find them right now ... are you on SN? :)

Low priority means between second and third block. According to the picture you shared, you can still send transactions for 8 sats/vb. You just need to wait.

@fiatjaf, do you know if someone is working on prediction markets on nostr?
I searched the web for a bit and didn't find any issue or PR about prediction markets in the NIP repo.
I posted on SN about it: https://stacker.news/items/173759
If not, I would be very happy to propose a NIP for that! I think nostr would be a great fit for prediction markets.

If I create a relay, why should anyone pick my relay? Seems like everyone is incentivized to pick the 8-10 most popular relays to receive the most content and thus the other relay don't get attention.

I initially thought relays are peering. Why is that not the case? I don't get the visibility argument as a reason why relays shouldn't peer. Was this decided against for some other reason?

I think the actual problem that spam causes is servers getting overloaded. It doesn't matter what you think is spam, it's more about the infrastructure. At least that's what I think.
