I would be ok with apps that has the following setup:
Let's you generate nsec, and export nsec, but not import.
why?
Because I think there's utility in easy onboarding with no need for external apps. Also it might be good someday for some citizen journalism to just quickly make some new account on any device and quickly upload something important.

At the end of the day relays are really just redundancy servers but with lealy abstraction in the nostr eco system. Unless some clients come up with a brilliant GUI for it, then most user's won't understand it.
The client question is how much hand holding should be done or not.
I agree more could be done in the relay info department, for users. In most cases they are quite tricky to know anything about on the client side.

No matter how many relays you redundancy save your notes to the photos aren't protected. This is because images in most clients are stored on media servers and linked to your note.
base64 pictures are protected however, because they are stored in text on your note.

Make sure you are following the correct npub. The a "verified follow" mark in the client is a very secure proof of identity verification.
Amethyst got this and other clients should follow.

===
High level mathematics is spiritual enough to feel like meditation itself.
Pure natural sciences never touch moral questions and hardly ever any spiritual questions. So I don't see the deep need some do, to have one disaproove the other when it comes to the Religion vs Science.
The moral/spiritual teachings of Jesus or the Buddha are just as useful to the right person no matter how well we understand the intricacies of Classicsl Termodynamics or Quantum Physics, etc.
One is a story based framework: Religion. The other a falsifiable facts framework: Science.
Both serving orthogonally different purposes. Stories are used to convey meaning; like attempts to express meaning in between what words are capable of. Just like the Real number system fills in the gaps of the Rational numbers system.
The falsifiable facts framework of science, are mostly about modelling in words and formulas what we observe through experiments. To then later be able to use that in engineering applications. Very handy! Very powerful! But hardly what comforts you when a loved one passes away or that solves for your lost identity in times of crisis.
Something that stories can help us with. To bring us new meaning to what we see and experience and save us in moments of dread.

Currently most #nostr clients use multiple relays for redundancy purposes.
It is however the case that relays decide what kinds of content they wamt to store. So in a future we might need to adapt clients in some way so that the author may easier pick what notes ought to be pushed to what relays. Maybe by having different feeds they post to that habe different relay sets attached to them.
For example, say that a university starts to run a relay for their academics. Then maybe they have some code of conduct for that relay that they'll only store academically related content.
A connected person might then want to be able to cross post all their academics there but their Tropic Thunder memes exclusively on other relays.
I don't know how to do this yet, but it's food for further thought among #nostrdevs

Potentially yes. The current use is very simple and robust, which has its benefits.
But maybe a nostr-clustr account could for instance solve the problem of keyrotation. Not on the base layer, but on a nostr2.0 layer.

2024-08-14 08:07:01

Just as lightning is a second layer to the blockchain, I could see a way that a new account type emerge that hovers over multiple #nostr npubs.

2024-08-13 14:27:36

Better tools for organizing events is needed. Facebook events as I remember them is a great tool, but it's excluding people without an FB account so it's really weak when organizing public events or events with people who don't have Mark Zuckerberg in their pockets.
I think an event specific #nostr client could be a game changer for communities and such to organize things :)

Let's measure in #gold! First up [1] we can see that #bitcoin had a real increase in value compared to gold and still does. Second up [2] quite surprisingly the US dollar kept pretty stable in gold terms 2011-2020, but the long term is halving in value each 5 year that passes by.
Personally I kind of like the idea of messuring bitcoins in grams of gold, and will look up this more often as it updates. For reference see link in the pictures.

2024-08-13 12:06:45

I would like to add to the discussion of note delete requests & relays.
We have a request-delete-event kind in nostr already. Why not also have the ability to create time limited notes?
Say, the ability to post a note with a "request deletion" timer set to 3 weeks or whatever. So that the relay knows that at this point in time the user is ok with the deletion of said note.
This might also help with the forever storage problem. Plus letting people post things they intend to only be relevant within a certain space of time. Like weater reports, time specific news, etc.

2024-08-13 09:18:28

I think this is already the case. Since it's possible to send delete requests.

2024-08-13 09:17:46

- reply

If relays want to operate in the eu, long term. The GDPR law will hold them accountable to delete content on request of the npub-owner, or the responsible person/org will be fined heavily by the governments in the union.
But yes, even outside that legal framework I still agree with your point.

Follower count is not a reliable number on nostr, it fluctuate depending on what relays are running or have downtime. Sharing npub in a trusted and using NIP-05 domain verification is way more reliable. (NIP-05 is however in most cases KYCd, so not anonymous.)
What I'm thinking of is similar to private lists on Twitter. Letting people subscribe to content without publicly sharing their connection to it.
As a complement to the legacy follow system. But a privacy focused client might consider using private lists as default. To counter social graph analysis by malicious actors*.

#freespeech with Sir Rowan Atkinson
"The clear problem with the outlawing of insult - is that too many things can be interpreted as such."
"Underlying prejudices, injustices or resentments are not addressed by arresting people: they are addressed by the issues being aired, argued and dealt with preferably outside the legal process.
For me, the best way to increase society’s resistance to insulting or offensive speech is to allow a lot more of it. As with childhood diseases, you can better resist those germs to which you have been exposed."
"I personally highly unlikely to be arrested for whatever laws exist to contain free expression, because of the undoubtedly privileged position that is afforded to those of a high public profile. So, my concerns are less for myself and more for those more vulnerable because of their lower profile."

Yea it's a big thing to be aware of. Nostr counters online censorship and can with high potential circumvent it.
But... evil governments can still knock on your door for things said here and apply their immoral laws if they track you down.
In the case of the UK, I seriously think the US should announce a travel warning for going there. They have their 2003 Communications act which makes it an offense to send public messages of a “grossly offensive or of an indecent, obscene or menacing character,” [1]. It's basically risky business visiting for Americans because they can have done legal tweeting at home that risks them a fine or jail when on a visit in the UK.
Something to be vary of in both leisure and business travel to that place.
