Ahh, had the directory as _well_known instead of _well-known — derp. All fixed, updated successfully in Astral, hopefully I’ll have the verified check now.

if I look for my name from nostr_users I see like 10+ entries. 🥴 Only one is active but I’m clearly doing something boneheaded on the various clients

2022-12-20 03:55:03

- reply

Thanks!!!! I have it set up on GH, last step is astral isn’t liking the entry I put for NIP-05 identifier. I did add the _config.yml and can access the nostr.json from Chrome. I’ll poke around some more.

I didn't realize you can use someone's public key to emulate them (in view-only mode). Not dangerous as I thought, but still a little weird to me.

2022-12-19 04:29:26

- reply

I didn't realize you could emulate a user by using their public key. And I am using nos2x.

2022-12-19 04:24:53

Presumably DMs are outside the scope of view-only mode, I would imagine?

Ohhh okay, phew! :)

2022-12-19 04:02:12

- reply

Okay Damus is pretty good -- maybe my frustration is seeing a reply to me and unable to read it like a thread, hasn't shown up in all the clients yet. I guess if use the same relays across all clients that would fix things?

2022-12-19 04:00:16

2022-12-19 03:53:54

- reply

How does someone with a nostr client emulate a user? I see ppl mentioning being able to do that. Presumably the private keys are stored by the client and retrievable by the client dev, perhaps even a third party? Am I being paranoid?

2022-12-19 03:52:01

I dunno if I should be concerned when a user says "I'm having an issue with your nostr client" and the developer says, "Hm, I'll take a look and login as you."

2022-12-19 03:50:35

- reply

And assuming this works fine I'd probably not care about having a base-64 encoded image as my pfp and just upload my avatar to GH as well.

2022-12-19 03:45:07

If you don't mind giving a GitHub newbie a bit more of a pointer, I created my first repo, added a nostr.json file, but not sure where to put config.toml or what the config file should look like. https://github.com/isplotchy/hello-world

2022-12-19 03:16:04

- reply

So is the issue that the clients aren't properly rendering the tags?

2022-12-18 23:48:38

- reply

Yeah, my 9 yo daughter would agree with that :(

2022-12-18 23:48:19

What does it mean when I see it posts this kinda stuff in a post -- #[4], etc. Is that some kinda pointer that is barfing when being rendered by nostr clients?

2022-12-18 23:43:36

- reply

You'll have the same issue if you try to use a NIP-05 identifier on a web server because of CORS :(

2022-12-18 23:42:04

I'm afraid to say another play on nostr should you already have a project up on GitHub :(

I have no idea how this works, how some clients continue to show old URL etc. I tried logging out and in of nostr.rocks and hasn't updated my Picture, not sure all this stuff syncs (or doesn't).

2022-12-18 23:33:39

This is not important, but I finally got a base-64 encoded image to be my Picture. I think the only platform that currently works for this is coracle.social

2022-12-18 02:57:46

- reply

That's where I'm at, too. Yes, very chaotic. astral.ninja, nostr.rocks, damus.io/web all decode pubkeys to names. I think astral.ninja is only client that has both global feed and names, but it takes a while to load the global I believe.

2022-12-18 02:54:12

- reply

If you use different clients you'll be able to see people's names, but I don't know if there's any client that has a global feed as fast as nostr.ch (Hi, Splotchy here!) :)

I went back to my image URL for now. Frustrated I can't figure out this. Ah well. Looks like nos2x worked fine for me for updating metadata, it's just trying to use a string for pfp that seems to be barfing atm.

2022-12-17 22:12:52

- reply

Maybe I'm wrong I'm assuming I can just put the base 64 string in the "Image" text box on the Metadata site? Curious how ppl using the base 64 string for their picture did this, what client they used, etc.

2022-12-17 22:04:19

- reply

Okay, got the nos2x extension added, was able to see my profile at metadata.nostr.com, but Submit button clocks when I try to update. I'm assuming I need another extension (as I think the site indicates). How do I get a "signing browser extension (NIP07)" added?

2022-12-17 21:49:07

- reply

This is not an urgent thing, just wonderin' if I could be pointed in the right direction.

2022-12-17 21:48:33

I want to change my image URL to base-64 encoded image, but astral is truncating my string, and https://metadata.nostr.com/ is asking for a nos2x extension. Do I have to download and compile nos2x to get this to work? Never used a Chrome extension outside of store.

2022-12-17 20:17:40

Are people currently moderating any relays? Or is it way too early for that?

2022-12-17 20:15:47

- reply

I suppose how you implement the client could dictate how you handle some of these questions, like a client could implement the friends-of-friends things. I'm sure Twitter (and really any social media platform) had to grapple with all this stuff, I'm curious if anyone on this platform that might had been involved in Twitter had an opinion on what was done right and what could have been improved in hindsight. ;)

2022-12-17 20:13:19

- reply

I think it's great too, but I wonder how this platform will handle that stuff when it inevitably arrives. Is there already a framework around that kinda stuff? Is a global feed not probably something is going to be realistic if this gets widely adopted? It will simply be handled by trolls not being visible to ppl? Would a feed be typically just ppl you follow? Would there be some algorithm that might introduce you to friends -of-followed posts, etc.? There doesn't have to be answer to any of this, I'm just asking if ppl are thinking of those kind of "growth" questions. Just curious.

Hm, I'm using the web client and don't even see a way of DMing. Tried clicking on profile of a couple ppl as well, nada.

2022-12-17 03:46:43

Another q regarding nostr.rocks -- is there a global feed option?

2022-12-17 03:44:47

Oof, if you click on someone's profile in nostr.rocks it loads their entire posting history, was trying to DM someone. Not sure what the best client for DMs at the moment. Once the load finished seems fine on rocks fwiw.
