i believe iris has to do its elliptic curve calculations in pure javascript because there aren't accelerated crypto api for its particular implementation. a bunch of operations are done in a service worker in the background. if it were done in the foreground it would constantly be halting the main thread to do that calculation. I hasd similar issues years ago coding ethereum web3 stuff and had to solve it the same way, move a bunch of stuff to a worker thread in the background

I have been running my own copy of iris and spent a couple days fiddling with it constantly in chrome inspector while testing changes to the code and to a custom content security policy i have installed. i have it locked down so it can't sneak any code in from another site. I've been watching traffic emanating from iris. I can't say it with 100% assurance, but it would be really difficult to hide a crypto miner from me right now, I'd probably see it getting batches and submitting results or trying to make an offsite request for javascript. if it were trying to run external code it would be failing rather than running the miner/whatever due to the CSP, but i still see iris running hot. I cannot absolutely rule it out but i strongly think it's not running a miner.

we were tipping people crypto 10grans tokens on the fediverse three years ago via custodial wallet and monero/eth onchain before nostr existed with mitra. being early doesn't actually matter, adoption does, but that remains to be seen as you mentioned most people have no clue. send me zaps

running away from censorship is running toward freedom. a lot of people here seem to be running toward zaps tbh.

it's actually way better than it used to be and in no small part because they're trying to get it cleaned up to attract more bitcoin/DAO people.

I'm just going to note that I've already seen people on here that think it's just peachy to mass-block people through guilty by association, but have repeated or talked to a specific software developer that they didn't know yet is highly controversial elsewhere and already led to mass blocking campaigns on The Other Decentralized Social Network. Because your posts here are cryptographically signed, the evidence of your transgression is permanent. maybe you'll be forgiven, but already on The Other Decentralized Social Network the answer is: rarely, people share lists full of misinformation or stripped context that never get corrected.

Sorry for the confusion but I meant, if you took it one step further and automated that process (e.g. shared blocklists.) again if you block people it doesn't hurt the network no.

Cool (seriously), but automate that at your and the entire network's peril however.

nostr events are defined by a "kind" number. how do i make a new kind of event and how do i get a number for it? what would happen if parts of the network disagree?

you might object that anyone can add any relay to their bip05, well true but you're going to find out that the zealots who do this shit literally don't care about how accurate the data they're using is.

blocklists on nostr are admittedly somewhat less of a problem than on the Fediverse because if a blocklist blocks a single person it doesn't also take out a thousand other innocent users like a server blocklist does on the Feiverse. But I am going to predict the future for you. Eventually blocking individuals is not going to be enough. Someone is going to scrape every nostr.json. They are going to make lists of what relays the bad person uses and they are going to add everyone using that relay to a list. maybe they will give the relay a chance to drop posts by that person, or maybe they will just do it,

spam and trolls can ruin people's experience too no doubt but don't take a cure that's worse than the poison.

Everything about a network isn't just the protocol and if it's technically uncensorable, people aren't here for that shit they are here to talk to other people. You can make choices at every level from the protocol to the relays to the clients that can make a huge impact on if people can use the network effectively or if it's going to turn into another balkanized unusable mess like the Fediverse.

an effort is being made to try to help nostr developers avoid repeating a massive adoption asnd usability problem with the fediverse. it's impossible from stopping someone from doing it but she is trying to tell you guys _you_ shouldn't do it and more generally that culturally the network should resist accepting these tools.

"based on ideology" doesn't even cover it, if you piss off the wrong person they just lie about you and you get on the list (that you can never get off of)

It's hard to give positive recommendations because what "works" for the Fediverse relies heavily on server-level response which nostr does not have, and also because we are a permissive instance we don't aggressively police content. It is perfectly reasonable for individuals to want to heavily curate their experience. We just know what things caused huge problems over here. I want to reiterate that I believe people can and should block but we just know that organized shared block systems turn into a nightmare. Not for my sake (people block us for a reason) but all the people that _actually_ did nothing wrong and ended up on these lists and the network just becomes unusuable unless they start over with a completely new identity not connectable with the old one.

the question when presented with this is will individual app developers think about the utility of the feature in terms of how it helps the individual or will they consider the effect it will end up having on the overall health of the network. part of the problem is that none of them ever even looked at these problems on other networks, so they will just make the same mistakes on here.

If you don't think you can be censored on the NOSTR network, then ask yourself: why are NIP-57 "zap" payments only payable in Bitcoin? What if I want to zap you in Ethereum ("zethps?") It is literally hardcoded and you cannot do it. No freedom of choice. Bitcoin Uber Alles. Do you know who else said that?

nitpick i guess
> Nostr employs hash-based identification for users
They're just the full public key, some of them are generated using a hashing function but it's not required.

This is a warning from the Fediverse, heed before it is too late: carefully vet the politics of who makes your critical software, note who speaks to them. Police your social graph aggressively. Cut off all association with anyone who touches evil.

I have been pointed at:
https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/issues/225#issuecomment-1419008389
which explains the reasoning. I can actually accept that it prevents hashing ambiguities of objects which is something I have had to deal with in other contexts.
