so I log back in from 4mo ago and my follows are gone, and bluesky is still 10x busier than nostr. Is it over or _over_

Wasn't that already the case? The apps are banned, many relays are blocked. I'm with you on this one

2023-07-31 14:05:25

Is there really a need for a twitter clone

2023-07-25 19:52:05

Mempool being full all the time is the indirect result of a soft fork... Think about that.

scrap that, gpt4 api is 30x the price of chatgpt api, and insanely expensive

no worry. that person wanted the pr in their fork

2023-07-21 19:37:00

gpt-4 API is available for all (has been for weeks now). Using the API is substantially cheaper than the web ui, though I dunno if the web ui has some bonus features still. Casual use via API costs me about $1/mo

Some interesting stats there indeed. The user trend seems downward.

2023-06-04 13:47:51

When I have a difficult question, even if I know that GPT is gonna hallucinate at me I still ask GPT and treat is as "good enough" truth. Searching the web will just get me GPT generated blog posts anyway, and those are even worse. Searching for credible sources is too time consuming.

@npub1l2v…ajft Someone posted 2 bounties for https://github.com/pablof7z/nostr-chat-widget , can find them on https://nostrbounties.com/ . They expect stuff to get merged, but repo in question has 1 PR open since forever. Is the project abandoned? Asking so I don't waste my time on the bounties.

2023-06-02 19:52:11

I'm puzzled. Someone online said that getting high on fentanyl in SF costs as little as $1.
If that's true, then is the avg. fentanyl addict spending less money on drugs these days? Shouldn't that improve their quality of life? Cheaper drugs = improved situation?

fyi: the first example in the "Registries" section links to 404, and the site itself ( RGBEx.io ) seems to be defunct.

Once there's an AI tool to generate quality content from existing books (e.g. sequels), I just fucking retire. Fuck this.
In my mind, Claude 100k should be able to produce quality content, but idk if it can and there isn't an API (even a paid one) that I have access to.

2023-06-01 11:48:25

- reply

Though initial registration would still be a pain in the ass, so yeah that's an unsolved problem.

2023-06-01 11:46:18

Rather than NIP-07, I think each client should get its own derived key and that key would be sent & stored server side. Then you could just have regular login flows. Trust would be needed but as the xpriv holder you should be able to invalidate keys.
In short, the current signing system sucks, it's not nearly user friendly enough.

2023-06-01 11:42:06

I didn't know one could even have a button show up in safari like that, that's cool. This seems similar to the desktop flow.
That's better than I thought but still not good enough for me.

Is anything using it yet? Do you have working examples, hypothetical examples?

2023-05-31 15:54:22

Torrent tracker RARBG was closed. I don't know if there's a shortage of torrent trackers, but running a tracker on nostr might be an opening. I think it may be illegal in a lot of places, though. At least I assume so, because there's no big time fediverse torrent tracker.

2023-05-31 11:21:02

The newest move(?) by Twitter crypto scammers, of making a fake trader twitter account and then adding bots to praise that account, is a smart move, because it makes it difficult to ban the fake trader account, since it could be real, and so they don't lose the botting investment.

Problem I have with developing for nostr is that even w/ a paid product, I don't think there is enough users to actually get paid any reasonable amount.

2023-05-23 14:20:50

Nutritional science is so biased toward meat eaters... On a plant based diet, it's so difficult to know what to believe.
I cannot tell if high protein is bad for longevity on a vegan diet, or not. Some studies say it's bad for carnies, but is that because they reduce meat consumption, or is it really the protein? And is there a difference between plant and animal protein there? I assume GPT10 will be able to answer these for me

I for one am thankful of that. Opening a website and having it dl/seed some random torrents w/o my knowledge sounds horrible. Not to mention if that torrent constitutes as privacy.

Rather than work like Twitter, nostr clients could flat out work like Slack. Maybe.

yep, content quality on bsky is likely high exactly because of restricted access.
It still gets a lot of posts, however. So in that way it seems to be doing very well. And gatekeeping access _could_ be thought of as a feature, even on an otherwise decentralized platform (which it isn't atm, though).

Bluesky vs nostr streams: https://bluesky-vs-nostr.vercel.app/
Bluesky looks like a winner to me, at the moment. Adding more and more relays has the downside of introducing more spam content.

What I did on the firenostr app could work. In essence, relays are like servers on discord, except that you may toggle multiple on at any given time.
* People already know how a sidebar works in this setting, based on discord/telegram.
* You can quickly toggle relays on/off

With next13/react18 server components, Lighthouse is now deprecated, that web app I just posted ( https://firenostr.vercel.app/ ) scores 100/100. Never even seen 100 before, what magic is this.

2023-05-10 05:15:15

https://firenostr.vercel.app/
I made this in inspiration of https://firesky.tv/ . I wanted to get an understanding of how many people actually use nostr. Seems better than I expected!
However, you can really see the spammy stuff in there too. I really wish (friendly) bots added a "I am a bot" field somewhere so they could be marked as such.

2023-05-08 03:44:19

Is there a thing like this for nostr? https://firesky.tv/
Essentially a very basic streaming global view. I want to compare, to get an idea of how many ppl actually post on nostr. At least my global view is just littered with garbage, my guess is that there's less than 200 users on nostr at any given time, excluding the "GM/PV/GN" people

2023-05-07 11:58:26

I can understand the appeal of making new nostr frontends, but isn't it a bit redundant already? There's like 20 of them. Sure, all of them suck in their own ways, however making new kinds of apps should still be more productive?

2023-05-07 11:49:47

Delegating the payment part of zapping to server side would improve the desktop flow quite a bit. Meaning backend would pay zaps for you and you'd deposit to a custodial wallet for that purpose.

Someone had the idea of having multiple accounts bound to a single xpub, so one could have an channel for posting different types of content into each account, e.g. one for work related and another for nonsense.

Is the fashion industry is gonna get rekt by AI? Clothes on AI generated people often look good and in very unexpected ways; they're like today's clothes but clearly distinct.
However, maybe fashion is and has always been limited by the means of production & cost, rather than design. Anyway, I really enjoy seeing the variety.

Every time something new for social media is made, every web ui gets rebuilt.
- twitter clones
- discord/telegram clones
- you name it
Would be nice if separating the network stack from the rest of the app was standard behavior, but that never seems relevant during development.

It lists these clients as targets for implementing the gossip model:
Amethyst

Nostros
Astral
Snort

Coracle

Camelus
Primal
How many of these are even open source? And do people even want the gossip model implemented? Seems quite straightforward but getting stuck with a PR that never gets merged doesn't sound fun then.

Having logic server side does not require there be only a singular entity hosting it. Think fediverse/mastodon, except if server goes down your social identity is still intact. All the upsides of a server without necessarily being tied to it.

2023-04-29 14:54:03

Overspecialized NIPs have me confused. How many NIPs are there for this NIP94-wars fiasco? How many specs for sharing files/images does one need?
The latest iterations even have the client including a bunch of metadata that a server would normally be looking at. Is the nostr protocol going full "client-must-handle-everything"?
