There's been some demonstrated attacks already. If you are going around pasting your private keys into random newly created clients, or if you've done so in anigma.io or damus.io/web at all, then you can assume that someone has your private key already. Those 2 have been compromised.

There's no protocol level limits, but some (all?) relays will cap the amount of data that you can pass them. Astral allows longer posts though.

More like a protocol that allows you to make a chat, a twitter clone, a youtube, a comment engine for your blog, and any social media app that you can think. All with the ability for you to own the data that you provide. And to be able to broadcast it without being censored.

The future of this is not that every relay has every note. That's as bad of an idea as having a blockchain backend. Popular profiles will set up their own relays, and there will be relays that mirror new events from there.

2022-12-19 20:04:31

Nothing in the spec prevents that. Relays each choose how to handle data

2022-12-19 20:00:19

What do you mean, yes you can, works on astral.ninja and several others

2022-12-19 19:50:24

- reply

That's not generally the best advice, better to use nos2x or alby.

2022-12-19 19:47:41

- reply

You should probably use Alby to connect to clients, that way you're not succeptible to xss and other attacks

Why do you want to make it desktop based rather than web based?

2022-12-19 15:11:39

You just sent a message to a relayer which means several different applications can query for it and render it on their site

Some relays are already mirroring data put on other relays

2022-12-19 15:03:27

- reply

They are clients that use the nostr protocol to connect to relays that host data that you see.

2022-12-19 15:01:13

- reply

You can choose where to host your data, and signal people where to find you. If a relayer bans you, use another one

You can require replies to your notes to have PoW. The spec already has it. Some clients have implemented it. It wasn't a high priority until recently

Yeah, using alby. Posting is working well, and browsing global feed is workable.

2022-12-18 17:16:34

Honestly you shouldn't. The best is to use a nip-07 compatible extension like nos2x or Alby.

2022-12-18 17:13:14

It seems that this just gives you the chance to backup and communicate where your content is hosted. Illegal content will still be driven underground and in the dark web.

Also, let's go!

2022-12-18 05:13:11

Would anyone be up to make a NIP for suggestions on client url routing standards? I think that at the begining the main clients were all forks off of branle, and therefore had the routing of
`{hostname}/event/` -> timeline view
`{hostname}/event/{eventhash}`-> thread view
`{hostname/{publickey}`-> profile view
`{hostname}/messages/{recipient}` -> dm view
I think it's pretty well structured and therefore could lead to a really nice experience of being able to just swap out the domain in order to move to a new client. I have been doing this and it is exciting to just be able to do so. I would keep it as a suggestion, but it would make linking to different clients more standardized.

2022-12-17 23:39:09

- reply

Nice that you did this, I'll be happy to help going forward

2022-12-17 23:26:08

- reply

Honestly, yes. Every known relayer might be targeted by a government and forced to take it down, much like the pirate bay today. However, as soon as a new mirror is spotted, you can just add that relay to a client and put it back up. You can also make backups very easily.

2022-12-17 23:18:41

- reply

Can't do search very well there

2022-12-17 23:18:23

Are you sure the nostr option is turned on in Alby settings?

2022-12-17 23:08:48

Try clearing your browser cache and refreshing the page

2022-12-17 23:06:35

- reply

Also worth adding that you can also store and serve your data through your own relay, will probably be necessary as people get famous through this platform

2022-12-17 22:57:45

Hm, got about 23k events mirrored locally, am using that to do a queryable index in my machine, works much nicer than a lot of the clients that are being kinda laggy.

2022-12-17 22:41:01

- reply

As much as you can delete things that have already been online. Yes but not really

2022-12-17 22:39:28

- reply

It is, and I think it's partially because you're not used to having multiple clients connecting to multiple relays. Usually it's one website talks to one database, this isn't quite the case here

2022-12-17 22:35:25

- reply

There are multiple clients, https://metadata.nostr.com is great for just this. You'll need an extension to use it. Otherwise, https://astral.ninja does that nicely.

2022-12-17 22:06:07

It is actually not so complicated to set this up.

Each relay has its own database and only stores signed data that they receive from clients. Clients connect to multiple relays and that's what gives censorship resistance. No need for everyone to have the same database replicated all over

2022-12-17 16:07:14

I think it would be a client, not a relay, but seems useful.

Build that client then. I would assume that the most interesting to the user will win

2022-12-17 15:45:16

That goal was beautiful

2022-12-17 15:45:02

Am thinking, another need is a 'browse nostr' for mobile. Alby is great for a browser extension. To get NIP-07 for mobile, you need a browser window to inject nostr and it would allow you to use all Nostr Web clients, maybe also with a link to them? Like Coinbase wallet does.

So in Ethereum, people are already accustomed to using metamask as an interface for key storage and the UX is decent enough, quite rough but ok. Installing an extension seems like a lot of friction, but not unsurmountable. The key is to make the UX flow of getting from signup to relay connection to other users' discovery much more seamless.

Would be interesting to make a nip for attesting a new (or backup) key in order to make an easier way to move your social graph to a new key in situations like this. Of course, if a private key is compromised then the abuser could then take advantage of this, so it might be worth considering how to prevent that.

That's awesome! Makes sense, keep the relayers totally dumb.

2022-12-15 22:50:15

So I think the thing that was throwing off my mental model of this protocol is that the clients that consume the data are also the ones in charge of broadcasting that data to multiple relayers. Relayers don't really communicate with each other, is that correct?

2022-12-15 21:43:33

- reply

Yes, just set up your own relayer.

2022-12-15 21:30:11

- reply

Nothing, in the end relayers will be as censorable as the internet itself. There will be compliance laws for people running relayers in whatever jurisdiction they host them, but there will also be ways to get around that. The content, however, is easily replicable.

2022-12-15 19:52:03

I guess the issue with providing an image that is self hosted is that the server side Cross Origin Policy isn't handled consistently giving a poor UX in different clients.

2022-12-15 19:36:29

- reply

I often go back and forth, I find the experience of branle to be faster and cleaner, and I use astral for the global feed. Then there's just playing around in different clients.
