Of course. But as we know, division of labor and specialization is key for success. So I see it unlikely to have multiple successful "everything apps" that do all by themselves. I see it far more likely to have multiple providers for specialized tasks and then have multiple "everything apps" that simply bundle those services in a single app.

Nostr clients can very well achieve WeChat-like functionality but imo it's only feasible if they do it by consuming third-party services, otherwise the Nostr client becomes a centralized point of failure. For example, WeChat could never exist in its current form without State blessing. If at any point they don't want to follow State orders then they can be quickly shut down.

Imo it's better to keep clients just clients. Hosting images and other paid services should be done elsewhere (but of course they could be tightly integrated with clients in such a way that users don't see the separation).

What's your point? They are all signing the hash of the serialized event data (the whole object basically)

2023-03-10 13:48:46

- reply

The signature signs the whole object (minus the signature of course). Let me quote NIP-01:
> "sig": <64-bytes hex of the signature of the sha256 hash of the serialized event data, which is the same as the "id" field>

2023-03-10 13:18:26

- reply

It's not that strict. It only says that the encoding is UTF-8 and that there shouldn't be white spaces or line breaks. I have seen different implementations serializing the same object differently for example when you use stranger characters like emojis. So here when you calculate the event ID/signature you have to pay attention on how the rest of the clients will serialize your object so that their calculations will match yours.

2023-03-10 13:09:22

- reply

This is offtopic but isn't it strange that Nostr uses a JSON-serialized string to calculate the event ID/signature? It's somewhat vague as different implementations may serialize the same object differently (e.g. due to escaping). Maybe something binary would have made more sense.

You can put media wherever you want. In the text, in a centralized server, in a (web)torrent or something new. Ideally you should create a NIP to formally specify your idea though, so others can follow you 😅

No. You can create your own NIPs and implement them in your own client (or relay). "Official" NIPs try to simply "sync" different clients. But clients sometimes do what they want. A good example are reposts. Fiatjaf hates them and there is no NIP for them (there used to be a basic one but it was taken down) but most clients support them.

2023-03-07 07:29:25

I disagree. The "design" of Nostr is quite basic. You can add virtually anything you want through some NIP.

Bitcoin price is too volatile right now to use it as a unit of account for wages in the majority of cases. You are better off setting the price in USD (or whatever) and then getting paid in BTC at the exchange rate of the moment. If you set the price in BTC then the risk of one of the parties disliking the agreement sooner rather than later is high, which is an undesirable situation especially for a long term relationship.

In WoS your fees can go as high as 100% of your total holdings (if they decide to rug you). In theory this can't happen in Muun (assuming they use proper submarine swaps, which I don't know if it's the case because they are not very transparent about this process).

> Why do you think that God would have to exist outside of our reality and not within it?
It becomes a matter of how you define Creator, reality, etc. In my case the Creator would be the entity that created our reality, so by definition it can't exist in it.
But to be honest I don't spend much time thinking about what could lie outside of our reality because that would be just fantasy. I don't even know if Creator is a good term. Those terms such as create, entity, intelligence, matter, time, energy, etc. are only meaningful in our reality. Maybe there is nothing like that outside.

Well, kinda. I don't like thinking of the "creator" as some kind of a super man. For me it's something beyond our capabilities to understand. It's not a person, and technically it doesn't even exist because the concept of existence is undefined when applied outside of our reality.
That said, in some cases it's useful to think that it can hear you and that it has some power over you, especially when you're going through bad times. But being objective I think it's a psychological trick and nothing else.

Moving to another country is a good option too, especially to have a "fresh start" (most countries ignore/don't care what you do elsewhere if you maintain a low profile).
Imo the best option is to be an "eternal tourist", hopping from country to country and never becoming a tax resident (this is not feasible for most people though).

Muun is great for mixed LN/on-chain usage. If you use mostly LN then you need something else. Personally I like Phoenix. The good thing is that you don't need to marry any single option. Use as many wallets as you need. But recovery/backup becomes harder the more wallets you have.
