Vibecoded apps are still pretty bad, but they generally have a better hunch of solving a real user problem than a manually-coded app.

AI is about software abundance. And abundance shifts focus from basic needs to managing excess. There is such a thing as too much software.

It's similar to what I do on our cache, but on a DB you have more tricks. Couldn't you count just in one of the indexes itself? You don't need the full data to count. At least that's how I do it on SQLlite. It doesn't even ping the table for anything. So, it's not only not allocating memory, it's not even memory mapping the disk because the index is already in memory for the other queries. 🤔

Do people really use relay feeds? I see devs and technical talking about it but nobody else. I saw a few users going into some relays once on jumble but never again. It seems like one of those features that is nice when it's there but nobody really uses them. 🤔

You might need to force close the app to reset some of the filters.

If you login with the nsec the app stores it for you. If you use Amber, the app doesn't have your nsec anywhere.

The number of relays should not increase the amount of data. Amethyst just loads a LOT of features (chats, marketplace, communities, follow lists) and those do take the data. Though it's usually less than profile pictures and videos on the feed.

I can make a billion users with 10 billion new popular events per day if all you want is beat Mastodon or Bluesky by the numbers in that dashboard. The majority of those numbers are already from bots anyway...

Should we move more Kind 1 stuff from Amethyst into Quartz? We could. Kind 1 is a mess.

2026-01-13 15:10:59

- reply

Not dumb, people can make any kind for anything they want. Having a kind just for Voice separates random voice messages from music so that Music clients don't get random Voice recordings in a Music feed.

2026-01-13 14:17:01

Who is flooding Damus's/nos.lol relays with millions of Kind 14 events?
Kind 14s are DM chats. But they are supposed to be placed inside GiftWrap events and not sent to the relay as is.
Whoever is doing this seems to be doing it on purpose... 7 million events from 405 keys... 🤔

2026-01-13 13:57:10

- reply

Good effort, but these "global stats" on Nostr don't make much sense and can easily be manufactured. In the long term, we will see 1000x more AI/information war content vs true human content.
The "Global Stats" that are important are those filtered from the perspective of each user asking for those stats. It's all about the user's own network. And how much that network is growing or decreasing over time.
I want to see if the Nostr is growing from MY point of view, on the topics I care about. Everything else is just noise in the network. And generating noise is very easy.

Voice Notes are for speech. That's why they are called Voice Notes and not Audio Notes. :)

Merged. I wonder if AI can re-generate the speech with a different voice to make sure no one can reconstruct the original audio, making it a true Privacy feature. 🤔

Each user should put their own personal relays. Thats how we decentralize nostr. There is no single source for all the events. Otherwise, we will be forever tied to just the 5 top nostr relays, which is not that different Twitter. The goal is 100 million relays.

2026-01-12 00:13:39

Hum... I would not use nostr.wine for the DM inbox. If you want, they have inbox.nostr.wine for DMs. wss://auth.nostr1.com also works great for DMs.

It puts the events id on the Bitcoin blockchain (via proxy ids). But the content is not there.

2026-01-11 18:46:27

That just proves the event was placed before a time. You can still delete it. A lot of automated services are doing that for the good and bad.
Remember, once you send a signed event, anyone can store it forever. They don't need OTS to do so.

Steps to have your own personal relay as a double outbox/inbox relay:
Go to https://relay.tools
Click Start a Relay
Select the standard plan
Log in with a NIP-07 extension
Pick your subdomain name for it
Hit Deploy.
After paying, the screen will redirect you to the relay settings.
Go to Access Control Mode and choose the current setting to "Block By Default and Then allow What I want".
Then on Access Control Lists / Allow Tags
Activate: Allow Events Tagged to PubKeys
Then on Allowed PubKeys, add your key
Now all you need to do is to add this new relay to your Public Outbox AND Public Inbox relays on Amethyst.

2026-01-11 17:11:03

Nice! The 10040 can be there too, but it MUST be in the user's main Outbox relays. That's where most apps will look for it to discover the relay that has the actual assertions.

2026-01-11 17:09:12

It's a great day to remove the trash from your relay lists. Keep only the best 3 relays that have your data. And make sure they still exist.
For your Outbox/inbox relay list:
- Alby's relay is not supposed to be there, just like any other Wallet relay for zaps. That's a separate settings/list.
- Purple Pages is not supposed to be there.
- filter.nostr.wine is not supposed to be there.
- Proxy and Broadcasting relays are not supposed to be there.
- Any wss that has your npub in the address is not supposed to be there.
auth.nostr1.com and inbox.nostr.wine are for DMs relay lists only. They are not supposed to be in the public outbox/inbox lists.

If you are using Amethyst, you can hide an encrypted nsec in an NFC tag in your clothing and login by tapping the NFC tag, inserting your password. The app will log you in, download all the data and as soon as you send the app to the background log you off and delete all local data. If you get caught, quickly destroy/throw away the NFC tag.

Each user decides who and what to trust. If they want to score you, they will score you.
I found that the scores make me much more open to have honest conversations with a key I have never seen but has a high score in my own algo. Same for random DMs, notifications, all kinds of public chats, etc. I started to follow a lot more people once we activated the feature. It opened my mind to a whole new community that I can minimally engage without the fear that they want to take my kidneys.

2026-01-10 19:56:31

I don't disagree, but our short history proves that when keys leak users drop confidence in the entire protocol, regardless if it is their fault or not.

2026-01-10 14:23:57

- reply

No, it's a separate list. You can see it on your security filters. People have told me a lot of hipotheticals about the filter. Human behavior doesn't do that, even with excited kids.
But now with WoT, we will start having scores per event, instead of just per key, and that would hopefully make this filter obsolete once for all.

2026-01-10 13:52:29

Yeah lots of things pass the filter. The feature is just for the most dumb spammers, which are particularly common in public chats, particularly when involving crypto scams.

2026-01-10 13:42:54

- reply

Feel free to disable the filter. But it still works quite well. I just checked it again a couple months ago.
We exclude less than 50 char posts.
And no, the only reason to post the same thing multiple times (including tags) is to spam everyone.

On your relay list, if you add any relay on the proxy list, Amethyst will disable the outbox model and load everything from that relay. Just make sure your proxy relay actually have all the data from your follows too.
