The Hollywood strike is happening because only a handful of companies control the distribution of content. Open protocols like #Bitcoin and #Nostr can be the solution.
Can we stream a movie to millions and pay for it with zaps? I’m hopeful this community can help solve the crisis those that work in the creative industries are now facing!

Got the bing AI invite, after 5 responses I hit the limit :/
Did MS really nurf it this much already?

Ideally a domain you own yourself, but here are two of the simplest options:

Damus is more or less on par with twitter app now, amazing work!

2023-01-04 11:09:12

- reply

Not required at all, but it helps separate you from the bots. Bots can of course get verified too, but there is extra effort and cost involved. Also, if you own a domain name and people know that you own it, it’s becomes very easy to distinguish between fake accounts

2023-01-03 22:42:47

Twitter running super slow today, nostr ⚡️fast 😎

It might be that a single bootstrap relay needs to be heavily moderated (also not necessarily a bad thing) as the default. Not sure if that would be enough for Apple while still allowing adding extra relays like you do now.
The only other option I can think of is provide no defaults and let users select them themselves (could be part of the account creation step).

2023-01-03 00:59:50

In this case the 3D scene is rendered locally but changes to the scene can come from server events (like nostr notes). Or loading in other assets that can be fetched from an online source (like in this example I posted, the drink is loaded in from the web like images are in the timeline).
But yes, nothing stopping a 3D view from being rendered remotely and then the display output being sent to a user’s device. All other principals also apply, just moving where the render is happening.

Super flexible format that is getting wide adoption in VFX, gaming and things like omniverse. Should even be possible to play multiplayer games within a nostr client like Damus and have the interactions sent as events (like that nostr chess game someone made). I think there is some big potential here, will keep exploring what’s possible!

It’s Pixar’s OpenUSD format. Apple have native support for it as part of SceneKit

You might need to delete local data/logout from the settings first. Once it asks you to login again you should find a “login with extension” option. Alby will pop up when you need to sign something, like making a post or editing your profile.

2022-12-27 08:11:42

Spam seems to come in waves then stops for a while until different spam shows up, are relay operators manually blocking bad actors?

2022-12-27 07:49:28

Checkout Alby, it’s a browser extension that can sign with your private key on astral without exposing it!

2022-12-27 04:18:05

#[0] any plans on supporting embedded views of content beyond .jpg and .gif in damus? Specifically I'm thinking of video content or even interactive stuff with some js!
I imagine this is probably also a hot topic among client devs, what is a good "default" to allow

2022-12-27 03:09:52

What would be the most client agnostic way to have embedded videos on #nostr? Is there any consensus around this yet?
Thinking about hosting options and what that needs to look like to mainly serve nostr clients

2022-12-26 13:43:35

When new users arrive on nostr, at the moment it’s a great leaning process for the tech savvy to understand how the protocol works. However for everyone else in the future; I was thinking of a personalised bootstrapping experience from someone who has invited you.
Say you get an “invite” link from a friend, once the new user is in the app they open up the link (to the note) and it’s a list of relays and other users to follow (maybe some way of receiving sats as well?), this would get the new user off 0.
Would also help once we have UX around x degrees of separation feed

Thanks! Got a few concepts in mind for how it could be integrated into a project I’m working on, using nostr has got me thinking way beyond what I thought was viable without it!

2022-12-25 07:48:22

- reply

Hadn’t seen that before, interesting concept as well. I was actually thinking more along the lines of social media/user community within the context of the game, Zebedee seems to be trying to solve a way to connect a lighting wallet to game play, which is cool, nostr can be the communication layer though!

2022-12-25 04:55:51

- reply

Nostr’s protocol would actually make this viable where as centralised networks or even mastodon simply wouldn’t work

2022-12-25 04:53:11

Thinking a nostr based approach to an “in game” social media platform would be a really interesting way to bridge some realities!

2022-12-24 21:45:33

Need a better hook between twitter and nostr, on iOS this currently involves screenshooting the nostr.directory tweet then copy/pasting into Damus

Well to be fair the iOS app and relay are not the same thing and given how many people are jumping on the iOS app I’m not surprised his relay is melting 😅

@jb55 another solid Damus update! 💪

2022-12-24 00:15:33

Which brings up the question; if there is a NIP-05 available should it show up in its full string in your feed instead of just the nickname? That way you can quickly see the domain to verify authenticity. I would say that’s not ideal, perhaps it needs to be there but smaller or as a subtitle etc

2022-12-22 06:53:32

- reply

Yeah so it’ll be up to Jack to decide what domain he wants to use to verify, but once that is common knowledge, the fake Jack’s can still verify but it’ll be on some random domain like Jack@brm738hej.io

I followed NVK’s guide and got it done in a couple of mins which was great, feels awesome to self verify that easily instead of paying $8 a month 😂 but agreed it’s still too technical for mass adoption, could definitely be made to be simpler though 😎

The great thing about nostr and why I think people are excited about it, is that the protocol allows for a lot and now people are busy building for it! The clients and tools to make all this super easy for anyone will come, and looks like their coming fast!

2022-12-22 00:27:37

Global feed is cool, but definitely need some UI to filter it and mute bots! Perhaps even some auto-muting functions that detect multiple posts of the same thing etc

2022-12-22 00:24:48

- reply

Nothing stopping people from also running their own relay too and only allowing their own posts there, as a way to ensure an archive. Might also be interesting to have a tool to scrape other relays to backup data from your own account

2022-12-22 00:20:41

- reply

Yes, perhaps free and public relays in the future will just auto delete things after a set period of time. Others are developing relays that work off ⚡️tips to cover hosting fees to support faster performance, longer retention etc

2022-12-22 00:15:47

- reply

yep! Ideally you’d want to connect to a bunch of relays so the data is spread out to reach a wide group of people. But also you can use relays to contain posts too, say to specific interest groups etc

2022-12-22 00:12:41

- reply

anyone can see your feed using your public key, they just can’t post or make any changes without the private

From a protocol level it’s better than anything else we have, the clients still need to mature but it’s happening fast and the flexibility is there for just about anything.
