Sure it is. There are multiple future uses. For example: Imagine a future where you can instantly donate money to charities where you *know* it 100% goes where you want to. Or maybe to directly support creators you like. All money goes directly to them, no cuts for intermediaries. Or you just want to send some money to your friends or family directly as well. And much much more is possible.

As far as I know it's the same principle as with "premium accounts". For example Linkedin; you can have premium features on iOS even if you bought premium on Linkedin website or somewhere else. The same applies with the wallet. It's fine to send sats to your Primal wallet as long as there is an option to buy them through Apple IAP *and* there is no mentioning in the app about being able to do it outside. Like in Spotify for example.

You're adressing half the problem, and not being pragmatic about it and doing temporary solutions to attract more users isn't helpful at all. It's even detrimental IMO.

2023-12-01 18:10:31

You can look at it that way for sure. Or you can look at it as an important stepping stone to open the gates for regular users to join us. This makes it incredibly easy for everyone to join the decentrilized censorship resistant community (both Nostr and crypto). And once the gates are so wide open and easy to walk through then we can slowly educate more and more people about this issue.

Nonsense.
Content moderation is completely done by clients and relays.
That has nothing to do with the Nostr protocol and information stored on the decentralised relay network.
Nostr on its own is completely and unequivocally content moderation and censorship resistant. *Nothing* can stop you from reading and engaging with *any* piece of information on Nostr.

It's because of Apple bullshit. We on Primal had to do the same thing to appease Tim Apple.
There's a requirement to give users an option to delete their accounts if you're working on a social network app.
It adds a simple "deleted: true" prop to your Metadata Nostr object and it's being checked on login.
Of course nothing stops you to just remove that prop and publish new Metadata Nostr object to your select relays. 🤷‍♂️

2023-10-20 10:20:54

- reply

I've been saying the same thing from the beginning. Though I'd go a step further and say that Nostr needs a BDFL. A stubborn forward-thinking mind is crucial to lead Nostr through the next couple of years when the explosion of new users and exposure of Nostr to the wide world comes.

You can just plop these tanks where it's needed and move them around. And they occupy a smaller space than an equivalent tree would. (By equivalent I mean the size of tree needed to produce oxygen and take co2 by volume take much more space than this tank). You can read more about this tech here: https://liquid3.rs/about/
Just to repeat myself again. These are not meant to replace trees but to help with air pollution in places where there's no place for more trees or *where trees can't even grow to an appropriate size* exactly due to air pollution.

His thinking is more in line with thinking of late Terry Davis anyways...

2023-09-27 16:02:51

- reply

Agreed. This was made in Belgrade, Serbia where the air pollution is highest in Europe (due to corruption and) plain unwillingness of average citizens to even understand the issue to press on officials to do something about it.
A bunch of trees were cut down years ago (due to corrupt officials obviously) to make room for more and more concrete city squares and widening of roads for more cars. So instead of moving towards livable cities for humans (like in Netherlands) we're going backwards.
Nothing new for the shittiest country in Europe I guess...

2023-09-27 15:53:44

- reply

The amount of misinformation/disinformation in comments under this post is staggering and ridiculous. These were *never* meant to be a *replacement* for trees, nor were they designed to replace trees.
These are supposed to help with the air pollution in places in cities where there is no room for trees and/or where trees can't grow to appropriate sizes exactly due to air pollution.
For a community that markets itself as full of critical thinkers there sure is plenty of parroting of same platitudes made by people who are too lazy to do a quick search and educate themselves about the *thing* they write about...

Content moderation is implemented by filtering the feed with mute lists as defined in NIP-51. You can subscribe to other people's lists as well.
As for filtering by hashtags, you can do a query search (#hashtag OR #another_hashtag OR ...) and save it as a feed.

It's impossible to start a discourse when assuming malicious intent. You've already made up your mind and attributed all the backage that comes with such intent to the person or group you want to have a discourse with. That's not a way to have a fruitful and constructive discussion. Coming to a conclusion through exploration of each other's ideas and opinions without assumptions is the way we build a better future on #Nostr and out.

Implementing something like Community notes ( https://vitalik.eth.limo/general/2023/08/16/communitynotes.html ) sooner rather than later on #Nostr would be a tremendous boost to popularity and viability of the whole network and protocol. Something like that would work wonderfully with all kinds of parts of it. From social aspects of it to "commercial" (maybe not the right word to describe it) ones like data vending machines.

It's not. Mainly because its GC-ed. But the biggest advantage is its dynamic nature. And what helped us the most (during active explorational development) is live reload of the server modules/functions.

I don't know. The only thing I do know is that *all* current LLMs have to get pruned and corrected from time to time since they get fed and then produce subpar results.

Garbage in, garbage out. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
If I had to speculate than we have to wait for LLMs who *can produce and deduce* new information instead of garble what it's fed and provide seemingly intelligent responses. Those LLMs would be AGI at that point though.

There is already a closed loop between Stackoverflow and AI and both are dying slowly. Stackoverflow from lack of users and good moderation and AI (specialized in programming help) due to all the inbreeding data it gets fed. Pool of answers (data to feed the AI) made by humans is still a necessity and will be for some time methinks.
