That’s like saying, you don’t mind the police & government regularly sniffing through your underwear drawer. Just because you’ve got nothing to hide, doesn’t make it ok.
It’s not about what you’ve got that they can steal. It’s about building a profile on who you are, and monitoring that for the purpose of targeted marketing / influence. If perhaps the TikTok algorithm gets tweaked to show you certain content more often at the exclusion of alternative viewpoints, because a profile was built on your interests and activities online. Your behaviour can be shaped by the messaging you hear.
The question you may ask is, why would they care about you? Well, most likely they don’t. But, they do care about the macro view of the hundreds and thousands of users who do regularly use the app that are outside their jurisdiction, that vote for and set policy positions that directly affects trade with their government, the users can be subtly influenced, having their attitudes adjusted towards more favourable policy positions for them.
For example, consider two candidates in an election. One candidate proposes extremely strict tariffs on say foreign vehicles that are imported. These tariffs would mean the foreign government couldn’t dump at cost vehicles in the market and funnel millions out of the country. Now say millions of social media users get shown videos and messages that are pro the non tariff candidate, and anti the other. Their opinions get shifted, and they vote and the alternative gets elected and the tariffs get lifted. Just as an example.
Just a viewpoint to consider and think about.

Well. I planted 400 hills of potatoes this spring, and about 85% are growing beautifully. In about a month I need to DIG about a pickup box of spuds… that’s going to be a workout..
Hopefully the corn actually produces.
Got a bunch of Roma tomatoes producing so, will need to be making sauce and canning it.
Beans will need to be canned..
Peas keep getting picked and shelled & frozen.
I’ve got a pumpkin and some squash that’ll need to be dealt with.
By then my rhubarb will need to be picked again.
Not to mention multiple other herbs n veggies in containers that are just small amounts for seasonings, that’ll all need to be picked, dried and powdered.

Another interesting use case, (for the tech crowd) would be to utilize the protocol as a push notification mechanism. With the ability to push to your phone events via webhook type mechanism. Think pushover etc.
Telegram uses the Bots to achieve this and people tend to hook into that network as a way to push status information out to people.
Similar mechanism on Nostr would be another way to pull in a whole new base of users.
People that need to be notified by PM to events that happen online.
Another massive use I have for telegram is the ability to send messages to myself as a way to move text and notes between phone and computer.
A similar - “Note to self” section encrypted and actually secure but easy to use, would be another feature that I think would be very useful.
For example say I want to move a password string between my phone and my computer, but it’s a temporary password and it’s 20 characters long… notes.

Hey @npub1wmr…g240 Thanks for the Zap, I made a point to listen to the whole talk. It was good!
I agree with about 95%!
Couple interesting take aways, and experiences.
While helping someone sign up on android, we essentially just picked an app at random on the Android App Store after searching for Nostr, It just so happened that the app we chose bugged on his phone and the nsec froze at generation. You could just see the frustration level just climbing. So, I said no worries, just try a different app (you could see the confusion) but we tried it, the nsec was successfully generated and he logged in. I said, hold on a sec, copy that nsec back to the first app and try and login. It worked flawlessly, and with the magic string, suddenly two apps came alive with the exact same account.
A lightbulbs went off. And right there the power of the protocol was showcased.
People tend to be “app overload”, constantly having to “sign up for”, another app another service then remember passwords, etc etc. It comes to a point when a fatigue of trying new apps and siloed services becomes a huge drag. But it’s the paradigm that’s widely understood, it’s how people think about apps on the Internet. Siloes, with each company desperately scrambling for users so they can push advertisements on them and monetize them as a product. Often times, friends / family etc, will ask you to sign up for an app or something just because they’re using it, and to be nice you tend to do it, companies have been using this friend networking effect to build their user bases.
Apps like TikTok even lock their content to a large degree behind this signup wall. It annoys me so much, in protest I refuse to even put the app on my phone.
Nostr is a different paradigm, and I think it has huge potential.
It definitely feels new, and there’s bugs everywhere, but it feels more early days Twitter.
I’d like to see a NIP that has the ability to read the nsec via nfc build into phones. Wear a ring or key fob with your nsec + Face ID or pincode - that can be changed or set. Write out your nsec to nfc cards make backups, etc.
Then simply pickup your phone, install an app, it reads your nfc ring, pop in your pin, and everything is just there and working.
On a computer you could do a similar thing to the web3 wallet connect, to login to many different apps all by keeping your key secure on your finger.
Literally pickup a new phone, open the app and your stuff is there, no passwords or anything.
That’s my vision for the future of this technology.

Ooo! Exciting!
I’ve got three in my collection.
- My retired one (sentimental don’t want it lost)
- My Wave, that I purchased brand new and have taken extreme pains to take care of.
- My EDC WAVE that I found driven over on the highway and fixed into a useable condition. I carry it in a leather man leather case, with some modifications for not getting lost or falling out.
This includes the placement of a key ring on the back that I can half hitch a piece of para cord to, the paracord also has two sliding button knots, which additionally act as a locking mechanism to keep the wave in the shorty if the primary snap pops open during everyday activities. Slight paranoid on loosing it, but they’re expensive and I’d rather have the locking mechanism than not.
I can post photos of my setup if you’re interested.
Additionally, I carry a flint in one of the side pockets.
Life in the remote mountains of Canada can be dangerous, and having the bare minimum of a knife / multitool + flint for fire is something I take seriously when out and about. Car or bike breaks down or accident and can’t move, help sometimes can take hours to days to arrive. It’s my lifeline / tool to make staying alive much easier.

Yeah.
It’s a vulnerability in the whole social network.
Three letter agencies / other social media companies scared of loosing users and thus advertising revenue, flood the competitions space using anon accounts with objectionable materials.
Then complain that there’s no content moderation, and government should regulate.
Governments kill the competition, and the social media companies and governments agencies behind it, suck up user data like normal and profit.
Circles of friends is definitely a way to mitigate it, but I do think we need some sort of shared block lists that people can opt into to completely filter that content.
Basically if multiple people report it, it makes it onto a temp blacklist, then setup an AI to scan the reported post and set a rating. With an appeal process through each relay running the lists.
We have to have some mechanism to keep this illegal content off the network.
I think multiple reports from multiple separate people, should trigger AI review and if found to be illegal, blacklist the key completely on that relay. Then, if the AI made a mistake, and IF people are deliberately abusing the system, and targeting users to get them blacklisted. The user can flag an appeal to the relay operators.

See. Problem is, that decade of content isn’t yours. Instagram owns it, and all the years of hard work you put into creating it.
They are not going to permit people en mass to migrate off their platform. & they’re not going to make it easy for people, that’s for sure.
We may need laws that facilitate individuals ability to pull their content off platforms and take it wherever they want.
I myself have a history of around 17k twitter posts over the years, mind you 90% of that’s me, just yelling at politicians - so not something I really care about.
But the face remains, ability to move to alternative platforms with that content is something I’d very much like.
Including the ability to take periodic snapshot backups.

Bugs still in the system, frustrate individuals coming from services that “just work”, so there’s a ton of development and bug squashing needed.
More robust relay infrastructure.
A way for individuals to, discover, interact, import, publish and filter relays from a repository that is decentralized and preferably blockchain based.
For example, if I click relays. I should be met with a list of available options.
This list should be distributed, and categorized.
A mechanism for sharing this list should be a NIP, including its format, how one registers a server to it, including basic metrics, geographical location, and uptime stats. Including notes from those running the relay about the relay.
Group into paid, vs free categories - including filter by price.
Additionally, there should also be relays on the list accessible over TOR and other platforms.
Ability to trigger in app WireGuard, per relay with separate keys should also be available.
So, someone running a relay, can place the relay behind a WireGuard connection. & all data transmitted between the client and the server is WireGuard encrypted.
This should be part of the NIP protocol, where keys are seamlessly issued, and rotated to the client if enabled, based on their public key.
So, I connect to a relay, if it provides the service and my client has the feature turned on. My public key requests a WireGuard key pair, good for say a couple days. Then if the relay is still being used, keys get rotated and re-issued automatically.
This adds a layer of big brother protection against snooping that can be enabled by default on relays. Trying to get users to take their security seriously and run a VPN, is like trying to direct a choir of cats.
I think the protocol has potential, it just needs more work IMO.
Will be digging more into the NIPs and documentation to really sort this beast out and see what other options I can offer.

Interesting.
That may be the way of things, maybe allow individual who want to receive these adverts to publish a tag to their profiles, so advertisers can do it programmatically,
Maybe filter users based on last post activity. So old accounts with little to no history don’t suck up advertising dollars for nothing. & active people actually see the adverts.

2024-08-27 23:45:29

I think…
Nostr needs an ad mechanism that pays individuals directly for when they view an ad. With the ability to turn it on or off.
This way, people who have no funds, can receive payment for their time and attention to ad’s - something advertisers want and need to pay for.
In return, users can afford to pay for reliable relay access.
Which means, there needs to be a mechanism built into the web of trust that toggles on and off advertisements that are paying.

Actually. If you think about it, its design is kind of a vulnerability.
Let’s say a Fed agency wants to target and take down a relay.
- Create a bunch of child P, crap and push it out to the relay from anonymous accounts, then get a search warrant or complain that the relay is allowing that stuff and arrest the individual running the server for allowing its distribution.
Rince repeat till the whole network is harmed, and people are afraid to run relay’s.
The network degrades, and people start experiencing slowdowns and frustrations.
- In my opinion, relays - especially public relays. Should have the option of a public filter list of known bad actors. If several relays ban an address, flagging it as high spam or child P, it should be given a note on the network.
Then relays can filter based on how many times that address was used nefariously.
So if someone keeps switching relays and getting banned, eventually there’s a threshold hit that lets all public relays simply ban as they can obviously see there’s a problem with that user.
New id, process starts over.
Yes, I understand the need for censorship resistance. But outright illegal activity with no mechanism to mitigate that content can be used as a weapon to harm the network.
No one wants to open this app and be met with a sea of kiddy P. There has to be a mechanism to control that at a higher level than individual blocking.
Maybe a way for individuals accounts to subscribe to a blocklist of bad actors, which is derived with a consensus mechanism amongst their followers.
So, if 80% of followers block this address don’t show its content. Allowing that threshold to be adjusted.
It’s kinda like that right now with the way you see followers stuff and then out one level creating a web of trust of sorts, but I don’t think it’s enough.
Especially the relay vulnerabilities.

Fish!
Our “tank” is about 275 billion gallons…
It’s a lake beside our house.
That’s all the fish we need.
Ours are even edible when we get the hankering… (like every 10 years…)

Maybe - generate unique email that you’ve signed and published to a bridge.
Any emails that get sent to that signed bridge, get encrypted with a unique one time key and pushed to the user who signed the bridge relay email.
To allow someone to email you, sign their from address, at the bridge.

Interesting… how do you envision it actually working with the protocol?
Who holds the keys for the non nostr user?

Eh. It’s a protocol. I’m actually only been around for a day here, and the more I play with it. The more I like it.
Problem is. It’s still in its infancy.
As its user base balloons, so does its inability to make protocol changes. As it’ll suffer from the effects of needing to convince a group of cats that a change is needed. Which will balloon exponentially.

Yeah.
Or at least some sort of revocation process.
- Loose Controll of your keys, there needs to be some sort of mechanism that only YOU can use to revoke and rotate them.
Potentially a GPG key signature that signs the keys. Old but confusing for some people.
We usually have our identities tied to email. Yet that also has potential problems.
We have an identity problem that we need to solve. The question is, what makes you, you.
Previous groups have tried to solve this by saying the collective histories of your online histories defines you, Keybase tried to solve this by people posting proofs to their channels. Tying all their social identities into one overall identity. It’s an interesting project, but it’s got a centralization problem too. We may need a similar idea, but built in a decentralized system.
- If nothing else, the ability to add a backup key, or a GPG signature key for your account. That allows revocation of your identity if the keys are compromised or need rotation.
Then clients can check if an account has revoked previous keys and show a history. And compromised accounts can be filtered from view, or if a new key is added and signed by GPG, rotated to the new identity.

Good Morning!
Broad Tasks for today.
- Trip to town to get mail. (30km drive each way)
- Put up another truss on my cabin.
- Feed puppies & spend time with them.
- Help mom in the garden when she inevitably asks for a hand with something.
- Tinker on coding project if time permits.
- Read more of the wheel of time series if I can squeeze in a few min.
But before any of that… I freaking need Coffee… so, off to boil the Kettle…

Loose control of your keys on here however and you’ve lost control of your whole identity and follower base.
I expect as popularity of this protocol rises, having a mechanism for invalidation and rotation of keys is going to become more important.
I think much work needs to be done in the future to fix this issue.

Your welcome. It’s simply a point of view. Not a dig on the protocol, or project. Just trying to identify potential avenues of problems so they can be fixed or worked around before they become debilitating.
One additional concern is, advertising money goes where the people is. So since this protocol is new yet, and lacking users. We have yet to see advertising flood into the space.
The form that that takes, could potentially be so overwhelming that it floods and blocks legitimate users from actually finding each others posts amidst a sea of advertisements.
One of Instagrams biggest problems is, I can scroll for pages and see nothing but OF advertisements, and one or two friends posts mixed in. All these accounts simply direct people off the platform, and none of them actually interact with their followers on the platform of instagram. So it’s essentially one big advertisement wall.
How’s that problem going to be handled in this protocol? If those accounts don’t come here, that means highly influential people won’t use it, and bring their thousands of followers either.

Of course.
But do you controll the code in the web browser apps on your phone?
No.
App Store can require browsers in use on their devices to block access to a rolling updated list of sites and addresses which serve this protocol. Or not be permitted on their App Store and on people’s devices.
Yes, there most certainly is work arounds. It’s the web.
One of the KEY features which makes sites like YouTube and x/twitter whatever so popular is their ease of use on people’s devices and their pockets.
I can 100% pop open a terminal client on my laptop, load up irssi and connect through a proxy into an irc server. Fully encrypted, and from behind restrictive firewalls. (I’ve done it to bypass draconian university sensors). Yet, it’s pretty pointless when there’s nobody on the other end to talk to.
One needs to educate every single friend how to utilize the service and what steps they need to access it.
People just simply don’t have the brain space to jump through hoops to get connected to you. So they gravitate towards ease of use and familiarity. Twitter Facebook messenger instagram, services they’ve been using for years.
It’s quick, it’s easy and it’s comfortable. They don’t have the same interests in finding new censorship resistant mechanisms to utilize for social media, because frankly they’re comfortable in their bubble already, and don’t want to go where their friends are not. To communicate with, no-one.
Yes this tech exists and it’s frankly awesome, but it’s also essentially irrelevant until it reaches a critical mass of people to become understood by the vast majority and therefore widely useful.
I like the protocol, but right now, while it’s still hugely still being developed, is the time to point out flaws as we see them, so we can fix em before they become problematic.

Actually there still IS single points of failure.
Let me explain.
- App Stores. At the behest of governments can simply demand that ANY app speaking the protocol be removed.
In addition, they can wield regulatory powers to not permit any phones to be manufactured and licensed for sale that permit the loading of these apps.
We have to fix the root of the problem, authoritarian governments, not find ways to mask the symptoms.

Morning!
Problem with this right now is, lack of content and users.
Sure it exists, but if it exists without anyone knowing about it or using it, what’s the point?
What actually needs to happen is X transitions to this open model. Runs in parallel and users can operate across this protocol.
