I was about to build a prototype for this.
In my mind the basic is: download an open app store (eg: @nprofile…k40u ), install Amber, create a new identity, install one mobile client (chat/social or both), login with Amber.

Get out of Google is very hard. I've tried on a fresh phone for a few months, without Google account whatsoever.
If you are willing to replace Google wallet with some alternative and loose Google maps as well, then OK.
But wallet alternatives are PayPal or another couple of US only services. Or go around with piece of plastic like a caveman.
And for as good as Organicmaps is, still missing lots of venues and content.
Plus many apps I use often are only available on Google store or as apk to manually upgrade and from not really trustable sources..

Would that be possible / make sense?

How much does Frankie-GPT pay-as-you-go model actually cost over a long period of time?
This is my account after over a year (14 months actually).
I did pay just over 20USD, rather than 20USD/month + VAT.
And today is less than 1500 sats for a dollar worth of usage credits. Charge with Bitcoin of course.

I was about to say 0xChat 😉
I use it everyday now it's pretty slick.
About amethyst @`Vitor Pamplona`am I the only one who has DM to appear both in messages tab and in the notifications tab as notification?
And thinking about that, it would be great to also "disable" the messaging part completely even now.

2024-10-16 06:53:30

That's now what he's saying and not what the suggestion implies.
He is specifically talking about relays that are both big and public (which I assume he means free of charge to write).
The eventual centralization of the network (as in: most people all use a few big relays) is a phaenomenon that can happen regardless.
It also make sense in order to spread nostr that new users are not hit with a ton of bad content the day they start, or they simply leave immediately.
It is just a marketing idea.

all good until the channel has been closed :(
The Alby guys knows abotu this problem, already introduced something to fix it but what I say is: if you want to be a channel operator and spend time on it, then do it.
Just to say "I am self sovereign" on the very few funds I have on Lightning, no thanks, too much effort and time consuming.

2024-10-01 12:18:17

GitLab, well, it is already what it is.
Then large projects - say Gnome - have their own instances... that require a DIFFERENT login.
Something is wrong there.
I can see a future when Linux/Gnome and friends will have a Bitcoin/Nostr first branch (or fork or something...).

He does not matter. Argentina has decided to move away from one path and go for another which includes being part of the american empire.
If you are part of the american empire, you are aligned in their "foreign policy" and you support your allies. So Israel in this specific scenario.
You don't, then you will suddenly not be in charge very soon.
Every other consideration is irrelevant.

Removed couple of larg relays, nos and primal, and added https://nostr.watch/relay/relay.vengeful.eu as second paid relay after @npub1ace…pd3e which I've been using for months.
No spam in the past few hours. Let's see.

If one uses paid relays exclusively, wouldn't the spam problem be (mostly) solved for them?

Thanks for the answer!
But I do not mean the device notifications. I mean that inside Amethyst when I receive a private message, I also see it in Amethyst notifications panel.
To makes things more interesting 😉 this happens on one device - where app is installed from Play store.
On my other device amethyst is installed from zap.store and I do not see this behavior.

2024-09-17 10:50:44

@nprofile…s8dt is there a way to not see notifications for private messages?

2024-09-17 10:17:44

That's basically Primal default without a couple I removed, added Damus now, and I use LightningRelay, the only one I paid for.

Start installing apps from zap.store or obtanium rather than Google store. Much more convenient than downloading APK from somewhere.
Use Amber to generate/store your secret key on your mobile device.
Login to Amethyst with Amber. Or use Primal, but only if it allows login with Amber (did not since a while ago.
Amber, Amethyst and Primal are available form zap.store.
Amber is also on F-Droid, not sure about the other apps.
Also not sure what's a nice and easy Nostr Relay to install on a computer or a Raspberry as I've not explored the options yet.

2024-08-31 09:29:23

Loading a page or file on Github, from click to rendered, takes a very long time. Like a few seconds.
It is basically instant in Gitlab.

But we were told only autocracies are bad and arrest people that do not comply and democracies are always good and do not do those things.
Also democracies only do wars to defend other countries and eventually liberate them from their own dictators, and absolutely not for imperialistic reason or to maintain hegemony.
I've been told that many times. Is that not true?

2024-08-27 06:28:07

Before the Nostr and HoneyBadger conference, I had to build lots of things and the backlog was long.
Now I have to build so much more stuff.
Energized, yes, but already overwhelmed!
As ODELL said, we must focus on the birthrate of new open source developers. I think I should start breeding them. At least AI generated.
Oh, boy, that's one more task!

2024-08-27 06:23:50

- reply

I think the hardest thing to solve is put a Signer app (authenticator? identity? ) in the end of all users. Like Amber or similar.
Without that, user will struggle to understand - or just be able to - use the same account everywhere if not by some dumb and dangerous copy-paste of nsec here and there.
It should be a collective effort from devs to do more than just provide the alternative to the user, rather to educate new ones and encouraging such an approach.
Users are familiar with third-party authentication having used "social" logins for long over a decade and people normally love it.
This is an area where the industry should cooperate strongly. Maybe we should even setup a small online meetup on the topic, or a "signer apps day" of some sort.

Organic is great indeed.
But is missing the user content. Locations are all there but with no reviews one need to go somewhere else to evaluate them. And the reliability of Google maps reviews is probably the best out there.
Very hard to replicate or import. Huge problem.

It's great but not enough. It's a mandatory requirement.
What's missing is the UX which must be at least as good (simple) as for a centralised proprietary service.

YouTube and Maps are the two most problematic platforms to get away from.
Because of the content, not the tech, obviously.
Still we gonna start somewhere.
For the maps there's OpenStreetMaps and the Organic Maps app.
For YouTube I would start with something like NewPipe to stream from multiple sources, one being something like nostr / blossom / podcast3. 0 with video.
Then offering creators a simple migration from YouTube to a new open storage / video distribution channel where they can be zapped.

Today is good day to start a final attack to the big one: Maps.

2024-07-30 11:30:53

- reply

I'll start from the end.
1) Cryptocurrency or "crypto" has just become a word to describe alternative versions of Bitcoin - which are all failed experiments or - mostly - scams.
Bitcoin is a peer to peer electronic cash system and the word cryptocurrency is not used in the white paper at all. Also blockchain is not used, still people used that word for everything.
It might be ok to use it in casual conversations? Yes. But Bitcoin is NOT a cryptocurrency because there is no such thing as a crptocurrrency.
2) I see your general point about software stay agnostic from value transfer of any kind, including Bitcoin in any form. My post - which was not a scientific paper rather just a "thought of the moment" - is about "hey, maybe it should". And even if I see your points and mostly agree, at the same time I think it might be better the other way around. Bitcoin can be transformative in the way humans interact, and zaps here are a first example. I totally see that happening for books, articles, chats, videos, songs and, yes, software packages and software apps and so on...
Why embedded? Because if that means more money flow and flow from consumers / users to producers / makers... that's a good thing as the outcome is important.
There are downside? Probably. Again, it was just a shout, open for discussion. Glad to have this one.

https://watcher.guru/news/brics-officially-announces-financial-system-similar-to-swift
Building a Swift alternative is incredibly complicated as a task per se. It becomes impossible when the countries that want to build it are marketing friends but actual enemies.
This makes no sense obviously and it would make so much more sense to just use Bitcoin as international monetary backbone... But they won't.
Americans will come first. Bitcoin is more suited to americans as they are still to this day the most individualistic and messianic civilization. BRICS (LOL) is mostly collectivist countries.
This is why America will get there first.
It is becoming more and more evident these days with many politicians endorsing Bitcoin, even a few years before I did "predict".

The West has become US + western european countries in 1945 because US invaded and conquered Italy and Germany and took over the UK empire and what was left of France and the rest of european nations. All of them, in one form or the other. The eastern countries for obvious reasons just after 1990.
Argentina, Brazil, Mexico and so on are sovereign countries. Italy, Germany are not, or not completely at least. As is not Japan - which despite a very different history and ethnicity is sometimes considered part of the "collective west".
The West is really the "cultural" or "soft power" name for American Empire. As Nato is the military name. European Union is the legislative / economic facade of basically the same thing, plus the convenient "one phone number to call them all".
Nothing is indeed determined by race - or let alone religion. Both are just a tool used if and when needed, to project power.
Is not a cultural thing, but a "power" thing. US conquered most of europe in the past 80 years, because Europe for many reason was and still is the most important geographical area on the planet. The same thing cannot be said for south america which is why the current status quo in terms of US influence (or cultural assimilation) did not change and is not going to be in the coming decades. It's more than enough to keep the area in chaos enough so no regional power can emerge. This is one of the very few permanent US geo-strategic objectives, everywhere since almost forever. That's the reason why US did fought 2 WWs and one cold war to keep Europe from another power to take over (Germany, USSR or god-forbid a combination of the two) and is why is still fighting the proxy war in Ukraine today.

No one that can see behind the very thin curtains should be surprised in any way that the US government wants their hand in *everything* that has potential geo-strategic implication. Internet has. Social Networks have. GAI has.
There is no US empire, no globalization, no pax americana and no US as we know it for the last 100 years without all of that (and many more things)
It is either that or someone else doing the same things but more and better and become dominant. That's the way it is and has always been, with just someone else in US place.

Well, so be it, leave them to their destiny.
F-Droid will never become relevant anyway, and Gitlab is a useless service.
And @npub10r8…t2p8 and Obtanium are better.
