Nostr is still my favorite decentralized social/messaging protocol. I think a fun hackathon project would be to build an on chain variation where the messages are written on chain via call data. Instead of relays you’d need indexers.

It is #[3]

Nice, there’s actually a Nostr talk https://nostr.build/i/nostr.build_839dcb7628949cd34723af6a21132ff2826fefd190a293348b5e26fd1b188fd7.jpeg

Anyone else at MIT Bitcoin Expo today? https://nostr.build/i/nostr.build_f9f4dee4d20032342bee6b0ef06469c0dad1597303e3e8379b807f2fb3d94204.jpeg

I find the comparison between blockchain and the internet or TCP/IP rather tenuous. Are there any insightful articles that delve deeper into this analogy?

What’s the difference between a purple and gray NIP-05 checkmark in Damus？

2023-03-10 23:54:17

Seems like a legit concern at this point. 😅

Alright #[0] I’ve followed you now.

Does anyone use Qubes OS as a daily driver? I’d be interested to try it but the performance seems like a deal breaker.

2023-01-09 22:54:00

- reply

It looks like it's 567 kb. I cleared the cache like #[1] recommended and force-closed the app and it's animated again. 🤷

2023-01-09 21:38:19

I just realized my pfp isn’t animated in Damus anymore. Did something change?

2023-01-09 21:34:02

At this point a lot of Nostr talk seems to be about Nostr. I wonder what are the topics where Nostr will be the go to place? Bitcoin/blockchain? Software development? Linux?

2023-01-09 21:22:51

I would assume so. If they only exist on that single relay.

Hmmmm. That’s very interesting. It seems like it should be theoretically possible. Still doing some more investigation today.

Has anyone used something like Jupyter, but for bash/shell scripting? I'd like to create more self documenting system operations. The best I've come up with is using emacs + org-mode with babel.

Which relay implementation are you running? I'm thinking about spinning one up as well.

2022-12-21 04:29:22

Yeah it's a good idea to either be implemented by the client itself or by the uploader of the asset. Was discussing something similar with #[0]

Haven’t seen anything. It seems like it should be easy enough to crawl and compile.

I’ve been thinking about switching to Android. Is there a Nostr app for Android? Maybe I’ll have to stick with ios

2022-12-21 02:06:43

That can sometimes be due to a missing CORS header on the image.

Yeah I think on Dec 8 there was a 2-hour outage at my location. It's weird that they would all close so many days later. But it gives me a chance to open some new channels.
