Last Notes
The more I explore Nostr—especially clients like Primal—the more limited it feels in some ways. I really prefer Damus overall, but I do like Primal’s Explore page.
I’ve tried Nostur, still getting used to it. Also heard some chatter about Yakihonne—curious to try it out.
I mostly use iOS and web.
Was able to zap her. She should be good to go now.
lol
that makes more sense to me. more danger on the road than up in the air.
we don't all fit in one car plus no one trusts so & so's driving skills so we prefer to ride with dad than mom or anyone else bu mom.
Having the same issue. I believe Alby's relay, which Nostr Wallet Connect relies on to function, is down.
I’m using @npub1get…0nfm which has been pretty reliable but for whatever reason I can only receive, not send now.
you’ve got this, keep goin 🫂
hahahaha i love this protocol
We just fixed , i hope it works now
Someone implemented this because a bounty I added here: https://app.lightningbounties.com/
You can add some too. @npub1kun…3lhe
you can use form* for feedback, and kanbanstr to do list

It seems to be a sufficient model to build protocol foundations, where a few people can make a huge difference.
Sir, we need a bigger, harder umbrella.

If you try to turn profits in the incubation stage, you inevitably strangle growth and quality suffers.
That's why grants have turned out to be such a problematic model: people usually view them as personal income and spend them on rent and food, rather than seeing them as investment income in a business they are building, that should be reinvested in making that business grow. That's why they slow or stop working, when the grants run out, or they jump to some other project, to collect grant monies for that. They haven't bothered building something that *generates income*, so their economic incentive to continue the effort evaporates.
And that's why they only write code, rather than build infrastructure and processes: you can just drop code and walk away, with no bills, no staff, no contracts, and no further expectations of services delivered.
Slam, bam, thank you ma'am, but make it FOSS.
I mean, if you think about overall resources, rather than merely Bitcoin income, we're one of the biggest projects. The services and hardware adds up to a small fortune, and we have some Bitcoin income, but there's no profit margin because we reinvest everything.
We haven't surpassed Primal, in budget size, tho.
Yet.
We're actually not slow. It can feel like that, but that's because we're working in
*checks OneDev*
20 repos in parallel.
Same as with architecture/design and devops because those three things consume the vast majority of development costs.
Coding is cheap, in comparison, but it's the only part you can't completely skip and still have software.
@npub1s3h…75wz is following what German logisticians call the "Maximalprinzip" (with the available resources, attempt to reach the maximum potential), but most Nostr projects use the Minimalprinzip (attempt to reach the lowest viable goal with the least possible resources).
So, they cut out architecture, automation, monitoring, testing, and maintenance, and vibe code some ish and then do a victory round and collect the Bitcoins from some useful idiots who haven't figured out that vibe coding has no monetary value because it isn't work.
We actually have one of the biggest budgets, despite hardly any income. Easily pushing over $100k in engineering hours, so far. Building something solid takes time and costs a lot of money. It just does.
TBH, it's hard to hype it up when it's still a big construction zone. We're all waving our hands saying "you should see the architectural plans, they're great!" but all people see is a forest of timber and mounds of dirt.
Like you, we all have 9-5 jobs, so this is our slow-and-steady hobby project.
Yes and no. You can have more than one wallet used for SENDING zaps, because that is set up separately for each client you use. However, you can only have one wallet at a time for RECEIV8NG, because that is set up in your profile, so anyone can zap you, regardless of which client you are using.
So glad to hear this! Thanks so much for your support! Feel free to share any feedback anytime, I never mind being bothered. Your feedback will make Jumble even better! https://github.com/CodyTseng/jumble/issues/new
The feature that shows the post you're replying to in the composition window was suggested by @npub1vxd…rs50, and implemented by Anthonyushie. He’s opened over a hundred issues on GitHub, and I’m still slowly working through them, haha.
Agreed. I need to get better at vibe coding.🤣
Is it possible to have two wallets, one on primal and another on CoinOS?
I prefer to zap with one wallet but I don’t think Primal would let me use anything that isn’t their wallet.
Okay. Thanks. It's a decentralized distributed computer network. I also run it on TOR. Maybe I should try running it on Pear drive. I'm not sure if that works though. I'm not sure more than one person can be signed on to it that way.

The couch, TV shows and video games need a human to be created ;)
Yes, it's not P2P because neither clients or relays are communicating to each other, it's only a client to relay. We can call it a decentralized network. (I'm not sure about "network" here)
Maybe p2p is not the right term. What is it called when you can run your own relay and client like https://nostrudel.marc26z.com ?
You are correct, I just really don't think we are going do get smarter because of AI, I think as humans generally do, we will try to offload everything we can onto it so we can sit on the couch and watch TV or play video games or something.
Good luck my fren. Keep at it. 🤙
It is definitely needed. QA is virtually nonexistent it seems.
🫂 We're trying to get to the beta release ASAP, and then we're finally going to do the bug hunt.
Everything is taking longer than we thought, but we have a new increment this weekend, so it's at least bumping along.
Yeah, it's crazy how much we're doing, already, and how many people it is.
But no money. 😭
We invite people to use our self-hosted OneDev instance, but our budget is extremely thin.
We'd like to pay ourselves, at some point. The core team is still working for negative money, unfortunately.
That sounds like a good setup...
you left me out :p
also, i don't think we have enough funding yet but i just learned there is a lot going on inside that umbrella this morning
But I'm terribly ignorant... 😅😎😝🤣🤣🤣
I'm terrible with git. Let me tag in:

Thanks!
Yup. Using NIP-46.
Let me try it tomorrow (still using browser extension myself) and get back to you. I think i borrowed most of the code from Coracle or noStrudel so should be very easy to fix.
Very well explained! I’ve got it now
@npub1kun…3lhe
#note1yw0…dre4
Understood, I'll look into filtering out notifications like these
Yes - that challenge is exactly why we needed to evolve our approach. If you’re interested, this photo shows how our “purgatory” data pipeline works today.
Welcome only looks for new user posts within a very short period of time after the creation of their kind 0 event. Since their posts are often stuck in purgatory during that period of time, welcome misses their posts when they are later added to our relay. I could make changes so that these new user events are also sent to the welcome relay at that time.
https://i.nostr.build/61SaCp4c3Ns5TjZu.png
When we introduced the new data pipeline for our aggregator it significantly reduced what welcome.nostr.wine will ingress due to the way it was built.
I haven’t spent any time updating it as many clients added hashtags to initial new user note prompts and it seemed less valuable.
If there’s still interest in that relay I can take a look at what needs to be done to update it.
This is so dope wholy wow!
jokes aside, i noticed that a while ago... it gets very few
https://image.nostr.build/90937e81cadaba211e6609ba4ed647ef8585b4db630283efd257f032760e4a10.gif
Looks good! Thank you! I’ll check it out. If I have questions, I’ll reach out to you.
P. S. I appreciate your quick response! ⭐️
You mean lottery mining? Last I remember hearing was that a single Bitaxe will find a block on its own about once every 30,000 years.
I wonder what the odds are for solo mining.
Does this do the trick?
https://coracle-media.us-southeast-1.linodeobjects.com/flotilla-tour.mov
I also added it to the website.
Cool 😎
So a channel is a 2:2 multisig bitcoin address shared by me and ACINQ
And liquidity is basically how many transactions can be recorded in the channel
A “channel” is just a 2:2 multisig bitcoin address, right? And you buy liquidity for the channel?
if you're limited, you'll be limited
Sure, I'll put something together
Ok. Just making sure. I didn’t want to accidentally tag the wrong person. 🥴😅
@nprofile…20f0 I want to test your client flotilla. Can you make a demo video showing the features? Basically, I want to see a commercial or marketing video of your client in action before I request a demo.
Thanks. I’ve heard of it but it was a while back. I’ll revisit them again. Tag the creator of the client.
Good feedback, anyone keeping track of this?
Correct, it was Fedimint, not a Cashu mint, I remember now. But it's history now unfortunately.
Thanks!
Probably similar. At least for now.
I guess as you are the main user of your node, you dont have to rebalance that often, or?
And do you think a home node would also be sufficient for a starting side project? I dont want to invest into anything serious until I dont see interest. A home node is already an "investment" anyway.
Thanks! And how about inbound liquidity?
Yes, but they were very new channels. You also aren't "asking." You just open the channel. If they don't want to keep it, they just close it.
When you asked to connect, you already had connected with other bitcoiners, right?
Not a lot of clients that currently support connecting to Tor relays, but they are out there. Amethyst would be the main one that can. Has Tor built into the app.
Okay, so either way step 1 is running a relay.
Now, to run a node for my purposes, I would also need to run over tor or a similar private service. I wonder if a nostr tor relay is any good. I know that there are many drawbacks to being tor only on a lightning node.
Did ACINQ connect with you easily?
We're so early...
https://sovereigncraft.com is the best in game implementation of Bitcoin Lightning in any video game by a long shot, just ask any of our players. And yet we have less than a dozen players that play regularly. @nprofile…q7yr just joined and was immediately impressed @nprofile…tqts is one of my OGs.
It also seems hard to be valuable liquidity. Because for that you need well connected channels to be routed through, I guess. But for that you need to find the channel partners. And in the beginning you wont be a good partner, I guess, because you wont have from 1sec to another ebough channels.
What is a rule of thumb in your opinion for number of channels and channel liquidity for a family node?
I was worried about that lol
It’s not being abused yet, but I’ll need to rate limit it eventually
Nite-Nite, Hellthread Warriors! https://m.primal.net/QIEG.gif
https://m.primal.net/HxkS.gif
Yeah gotta look into this also got Datum on my start9 but something is missing configuration wise….
I think I am understanding this correctly. So y'all are connecting those who own mining hardware with those who would like to earn sats, but don't want to buy their own mining hardware?
Why would those who have the hardware rent out time on it instead of just getting paid sats from mining? Presumably this only works out for those renting time if they are getting more in sats than they are paying to rent the time, in which case those who own the hardware would have also just made more money if they didn't rent out the time on their machines.
In that case my @npub10la…0ywa account doesn’t receive the zaps..
Thanks, I'll have a look.
Nope!
We're a marketplace, not a hosting company. Since we get this question a lot, we had one of our co-founders answer on video.

Bummer! No good option there yet, except nsec.app, and that requires keeping the browser active.
@nprofile…sscg is working on an equivalent to Amber for iOS, though.
So, hosted mining, then? Like Compass?
Thank you so much. I never understood what Amber was until now.
Its fortunate I am on apple ecosystem though 😂
We help anyone get in on mining without hardware 🫡
Unless you're sending some fatty zaps, probably 20k sats is more than enough to try it out.
Nice. Thank you.
I’m interested in how they implement it, so any platform is fine.
Different light triggers. 😅
I love light mode, fr. I associate dark mode with work. 😅
Happy to help! Nostr.build is probably the best option until you start learning about Blossom servers and such. Heck. They're a good option even after that. Free hosting for photos and videos up to 50MB.
I guess I just had to be a bit more patient. After another minute or so, posts from those I follow finally populated.
Reactions not working, though... Amber is getting the signing request, but Olas isn't getting the response, or else just isn't displaying it.
Nah, it is the "waiting" couch outside of a restroom at a mountain lodge.
Bro that cow heid couch is legit.. is that yours?
Bro, THANK YOU so much!!! 🙏🏻
Hmmm. Should work unless the media server you are using doesn't allow video.
Is it uploading to nostr.build or somewhere else?

Where is this post, can you Reshare
Can you see this video post? I published it on YakiHonne and it says 2 views but it isn't showing on my profile on any clients.

I have an excellent internet connection. I've never had any issues and my posts are showing up fine on Telegram.
Do you have a strong Internet connection
Oh my goodness that's not good
I'm unable to post videos on any of the desktop clients for various reasons, usually with a failure to load message. I'm also getting more error messages for other reasons. I moved from one client to another, leaving permanent damage in my wake. 😬
wos & strike aren't getting thru either.
this is not good.
Very interesting... Not sure what would cause that.
I don't know if they have a trial.
Connected via IVPN right now to Amethyst with zero issue. Connecting to all my relays just fine.
Have you found a resolution?
Totally.
But IME its a big big difference.
and sure
people who can will look around.
But in software especially maybe
the absolute most robust way is to have lots of *different eyes on the product.
no matter how brilliant any single dev is,
they have blind spots.
and I contend people SHOULD expect that from a flagship product in a new and cool dev space like Bitcoin.
Just tried ipvsnish, neither amethyst fountain are getting thru. hmmm
does ivpn have a free trial?
Same, maybe I used the wrong words.
So you're saying we can build from source and use that as firmware on the cold card? If so, cool, thanks for informing me, I haven't had the time and motivation to verify yet.
its not that simple.
the fact you cant use it for any business of your own seriously disincentives good people from taking long thorough looks.
With a real FOSS license you can fuck around and know that if something cool comes out of it you'll be free to use it.
With the CC's license you're restricted to the set of people who will donate their time to audit.
It makes a big difference.
AFAIK, it doesn't have the verifiable builds. Am I wrong?
By the way, the souce code is fully reviewable here:
https://github.com/coldcard/firmware
Software license details here:
https://github.com/coldcard/firmware?tab=License-2-ov-file
Can confirm, and 50MiB can fit well over 5 minutes of HD video (720p)
express vpn. I'll try another. thx.
Oops, sorry about that 😂
@npub13ch…dsaw please 🙏🏻
Not possible. It would be like thinking you broke the English language because someone with ear-buds in blasting music didn't hear you. Protocol is working fine. There's just something preventing you from uploading through whatever client you are using to nostr.build.
What client are you using for uploading videos through?
Maybe buy a premium subscription for nostr.build or something
No you didn't break the protocol
I'm telling you, I think I broke the entire Nostr protocol. 😸
From what @nprofile…9ene said, it doesn't look like there is a daily limit, just a file size per upload limit of 50MiB. He's one of the main guys running nostr.build, so he would know.
That being the case, you shouldn't be getting blocked from uploading as long as your videos are under that file size limit each. The ones that I am seeing in your feed are WELL under that limit, so I am not sure why you would now be unable to upload...
Or, is there a way to bridge my Telegram account to Nostr, which offers unlimited videos for free?
https://bloss1.poster.place/a1b5983e1555df2a886e69059947ff7a85fc9c4dd96e242e9d7051565aa3a42f.png
Is there a limit to the number of short videos that can be uploaded each day?
What about Nostr Premium? Does that include video downloads and if so, is there a limit?
So maybe I reached my video limit? Would that only apply to certain clients? Maybe that would explain why I can no longer post videos on some clients but can on others?
You guys go and increase it again? I could have sworn you JUST increased it to 21MiB.
It is. Mostly. You are downloading them from wherever it is you are getting the video, then you are using a client to upload them to whatever hosting service they default to. Looking at your history, it has been nostr.built that they are defaulting to.
If you don't have a paid account with them, there are file size limits, though. They recently increased the max file size for users of their free service to 21MB, but I am unsure whether they have a daily/weekly/monthly limit as well. The site doesn't say.
Also @nprofile…9ene it looks like the About page still needs to be updated with the new file size limit:
https://relay.brightbolt.net/c545c408cb02716056b763ba3d6de4ed4ca20399dc9d9fadba47c7f45fff02b5.jpg
If you need a larger space and full management of media, there is paid option at different levels and tiers: https://getnb.me
amethyst will straight up send your entire cache out to all your relays until they flame out or accept.
Well, Amethyst always does when you post a new one or when you add or remove from your lists
I thought that's what I was doing?
Have you tried downloading them then uploading them to the particular client
That's why you should use poster.place , uploads to a fast CDN powered by Blossom and Minio
Interesting. Didn't know Amethyst was forwarding new events seen on your other relays to others that are missing the event. That's handy, but definitely doesn't help with this particular issue. 😂
Okay, well if I can't upload videos directly to clients from my hard drive, I guess I would need the most simple, user-friendly solution, being that I have very little tech skills as well as very little time, energy, and resources, personally.
Or you receive the empty event on Amethyst and add a new one. Amethyst would then update Citrine.
Fair, but that might be less likely to happen. For the most part, Citrine is only available for local clients to write to, unless you expose it via Orbot to access it over Tor.
It can, but if a new bookmark event from another relay shows up on Citrine, that would erase the older one as well.
Oof! So it's kind of like how a follower list can get wiped.
Can it be also sent to a local relay, like Citrine, so it can be recovered in such instances?
Remember, clients are just glorified front-ends displaying data that is stored somewhere else entirely. Notes are stored on relays, but media such as photos and videos needs to be stored somewhere too. The client itself doesn't store it. They rely on media hosting services like nostr.build to host your media.
Nostr.build is the most common one, because it has been around the longest, but there are others. Additionally, Blossom servers are becoming a more and more popular way to host media, as it helps make media storage more decentralized.
I run my own Blossom server, for instance. Which means I am hosting my own photos and screenshots. But, if my server goes down, that media won't be accessible either. So there are tradeoffs.
Then again. On Blossom, media is content addressable, so if I have my uploads mirrored to other Blossom servers, clients can fetch them from there, even though my server is down.
Ah, but you are already using nostr.build without realizing it. 😉
Your last post with a video on it was uploaded to nostr.build via whatever client you used:
#nevent1q…2p8q
Examining the text-only version of this note revealed this:
https://relay.brightbolt.net/3337fbad54eb8ec2846b3367c00b2d8fc5c86a74a71f875726b8afc7c5a1acc7.jpg
We send to the General Relays + outbox. But some other client might have resetted it if they didn't have the list :(
My average video size is around 30 seconds and less than 3 min max. I would prefer not to use nostr.build, if possible since I already have too many apps running.
Thanks for highlighting this 👌
What's your average video size? Looks like Coracle defaults to uploading via nostr.build (Nostr clients don't host your media themselves) and they have a max file size of 21mb for those who don't have a paid account.
@nprofile…9ene is there also a max data limit per day/week/month or anything?
You can click this box to not post to Nostr in Fountain.

Thank you, Sir. I'm uploading videos directly through the clients from my hard drive.
Primal desktop doesn't work for me, and I'm keeping my eye on Damas desktop but for now it only has the option to upload from iCloud Photos which is workable but too many extra steps. I'm open to all other suggestions!
you need something like @npub1nxy…avr7 they can host your videos
Not sure... I haven't done any video uploading yet myself.
Are you uploading directly through the client, or uploading somewhere else first and then pasting the URL for the video into your note?
Let's throw this one out to the folks browsing #asknostr to see if they have some ideas.
What's the best desktop/web client to use for uploading short videos at a relatively fast pace? Would you recommend one that supports uploading to a Blossom server of the user's choice, or would one that just uploads to nostr.build with their 21mb limit be sufficient?
You bet!
Some clients have other ways around not supporting outbox. For instance, if you use Primal, they aggregate most notes into their caching relay, so even if someone you follow is posting to a relay you aren't using, it doesn't matter because Primal is probably pulling it in and will display it to you.
Indeed, on Primal you don't read directly from any relays in your relay list. You ONLY read from their caching relay, and you write to the relays in your list. You can also write to the relays in your list THROUGH their caching server, using it as a sort of VPN so those relays don't get your IP address.
I'm trying not to break the clients or the Nostr protocol? I have no idea, haha. I'm new here.
Which desktop client would you recommend for uploading a series of short videos at a relatively fast pace on a daily basis?
Which site are we trying not to break by using multiple clients?
We definitely need some clients more geared toward video... I have found Coracle often struggles with loading media in general. Haven't had issues with Ditto and Jumble, but then, I often forget about Ditto and I have barely scratched the surface of using Jumble.
Yakihonne is growing on me. Some things seem really slow to load, though. Notifications in particular.
Correct. And no. Most clients do not yet support outbox.
You can use as many clients as you like, content generally syncs between them all seamlessly. Nostr is still rough around the edges in some places, media upload is definitely one of those places. Just use what works and don't worry about the rest. Also suggest setting up a wallet so you can send/receive zaps. https://coinos.io/ is a simple wallet to get started with.
Use Yakihonne it's a great client on mobile and desktop
I tried posting a video from Coracle, Ditto, and Jumble. The video forever loads or I get an error saying the video failed to load.
However, I just tried YakiHonne, signing in for the first time, and it worked! Do we need to use multiple clients so we don't break the site?
I added my friend Katy she posts video all the time from Primal
haha my god just saw your profile line "Boyfriends kept telling me to stop talking. So now I run a news commentary.". Hilarious. Glad to have you posting your content here on nostr
That's really odd 😮???
Hey @nprofile…npkv any recommendations for my friend here .
Would be helpful to know which app you are posting from and what errors you are getting. Hopefully somebody has a solution
Friends, I can no longer post videos on Nostr. I tried multiple clients. I only posted 3 videos so far today and tried to space them out so I didn't overload the system. I ideally need to post around 6 or 7 videos each day and up to 20 for some breaking news stories. Do I need to wait longer in between posts?
#asknostr
So if a user has me in their "follow" list, but we do not share a relay, and our clients don't use the outbox model, they won't see my notes? Do most clients support outbox?
Tried Canterbury Tales, last time, but the formatting was so nuts, that I was like... Erm... not tonight. 😅
Some more books incoming #thoon .
Pilgrim's Progress is probably next, and Sherlock Holmes.
Great! Pay me in books added to #Alexandria. You were going to add them anyway. 😉
You had me at "break things".
https://media.tenor.com/olrqWZDHjpUAAAAC/ru-paul-youre-hired.gif
It seems like it's worth the tradeoff?
Thank you for sharing this info. It really helps me understand Nostr from the dev's perspective and be more patient with any tech issues considering the challenging decentralized objective.
ditto is mastodon done right basically
Yeah I think it’s a great opportunity for children to learn so many things without it feeling like learning.
Running at home
Using strfry for filtering them it goes to ditto
We're diagramming it. 😁 Or, rather, visualizing it and making it navigable.
#nevent1q…trwf
Having dug around a little more, your domain method is quite elegant. If not domains then I can't think of what else.
Feels like we need NIP5.1 identifiers, which can be multiple and denote a user's community affiliation (keeping the 5.0 for verification in a general sense, though a 5.0 can double up as a 5.1).
Yeah I think that's a pretty good summary. Wouldn't want to attempt a diagram though.
Nostr can do truly decentralized, but it's specialty is arguably distributed. So, overlapping pools of centralization, that npubs can travel through, or hop over.
I'd argue ATProto lexicons are more decentralised than Nostr NIPS. If you zoom out it's a different story—but just zooming in to that one specific aspect then that's how it seems.
Rules, not rulers is harder to build, but also harder to topple.
Yeah, I've seen this effect a few times in my life, so I'm probably calmer about this, than some of the younger devs.
I suspect there will also soon be more large teams forming, and that will boost everything quickly.
Your global timeline spam filtering is useful. Are you running poster.place entirely on your own infra? Or are you calling ditto's backend for things?
That's a good way to think about it
Here's the thing: I think Christians who have matured continue to have different talents and they live out their faith with different sets of works.
I have a talent for creating welcoming, inviting spaces, online and offline, so that's what I focus on, by being a sextant and running the parish website. I also have a talent for being a systems analyst, so that's also what I put my focus on. That's why I'm concentrating on digitizing and distributing the Bible on an uncensorable data storage system on Nostr, and making it readable over an open-source interface on git, so that everyone, everywhere can get hold of a copy, read it, and share it with their frens, and jump into the Bible study section and tell me everything I'm saying that is wrong. 😁
The Bible is not the project, but it was the impetus for the project and probably a big factor in the longevity of the project because building the first three minor releases of Alexandria and then spinning it off into #Biblestr is something that really motivates because it feels like building a digital cathedral.
I don't find it perturbing that people think my personal theological views are wrong. I've spent decades thinking them through and researching them, as have those defending the counter-argument. I find it perturbing that they think that they mean that I'm not a Christian. Because I think it's obvious that I'm Christian, otherwise my behavior makes no sense, at all.
I agree.
14 What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, 16 and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and filled,” without giving them the things needed for the body, what good[a] is that? 17 So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.
18 But someone will say, “You have faith and I have works.” Show me your faith apart from your works, and I will show you my faith by my works. 19 You believe that God is one; you do well. Even the demons believe—and shudder! 20 Do you want to be shown, you foolish person, that faith apart from works is useless? 21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered up his son Isaac on the altar? 22 You see that faith was active along with his works, and faith was completed by his works; 23 and the Scripture was fulfilled that says, “Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness”—and he was called a friend of God. 24 You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone. 25 And in the same way was not also Rahab the prostitute justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out by another way? 26 For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so also faith apart from works is dead.
James 2:14-26
(Looking forward to being able to put some 30041 notes here, instead of copy-paste. 😁)
100% agree. Relays are a fundamental part of how Nostr works, but most folks really don't care to have to fiddle with them for things to just behave as they expect them to.
Think about it this way. The above issue is like saving a file to your Downloads folder, then going to look for it in your Documents folder, and wondering why it isn't there.
That's an interesting insight, thank you for this, I will think about something
it's on the browser, nosotros.app, let me know what you thing, next update will more stable and faster.
That's what I have installed. Maybe it's the latest release.
Just lay it on me. "Do better Dikaios1517!"
I'll shape up. 🫡
Current version:

That's part of the challenge 😩
That would also work. If it shows available updates and I can update it like other apps, then that would do, too. Apparently, I heard of a #Zapstore update and can't seem to find it in Zap store after refreshing. Will try again then.
Thanks for the answer.

Thank you. Trying this now. And you were correct - I’m using Alby Hub.
thanks! that is exactly what I was looking for
I want to hang out with Derek Burner.
https://m.primal.net/NkSe.gif
Oh that's the wrong one. I do have an npubd3r3k somewhere
I do kind of wish I had thought to make a vanity one for myself.
Yep, I do that quite a bit. Even more, now that I am writing reviews.
I have a document with so many burner keys 🤣
You can always generate a burner to test.
I'll hopefully be dropping the review next week on www.nostr-reviews.com
Interesting, I look forward to reading the review and will test these out too, thanks for all the info 🤝 god bless!
Hmmm, a difficult problem to solve indeed. But it does need to be solved! Relying on browser extensions is not the way to go…
Is the best solution, as it currently stands, nsec bunker and coracle usage then?
If you don’t mind me asking, what trade offs did you go for?
Thank you for the detailed response!
For that last paragraph, is that solved by Frost?
I see FROSTR is being developed, seems an initial PoC has been built. Have you looked into this, and if so, what’s your thoughts?
I know it's just nostr. Primal is definitely a walled garden.
Forcing someone to automatically follow certain accounts after their sign-up isn't a good approach, because a genuine freedom of speech protocol would allow users to customize their own feed from the start. Most people clearly have some unhealthy social media addiction, so, of course they'll follow someone with 25k followers🙄.
Lol dude, you can do this on Amethyst.
As for the issues you have, check out @nprofile…vd7t's projects.
Zoomers have experienced like 3 financial crises so far I think they have enough pain under their belts 🤣
If you allow yourself enough time to receive the transfer, I think it would be worth your time. My biggest mark against Fold is transferring between accounts and the lack of Zelle. I just linked my BoA to my Fold account. I’m about to find out how long a transfer takes.
Can you transfer funds deposited in your employer account to Fold? An extra step but could be worth it.
its casino tech. insert more videos of yourself to play again. 4-5% chance you win the viral lottery, just enough to keep you there, but never enough to quit before youve lost everything.
Yeah, there's one big one and nobody knows how it works and you can't opt out.

Thank you for all your hard work.
Make sure you get some sleep occasionally too tho!
Long haired, freaky people need not apply.
Happened to have one on my Citrine relay. Looks like they are indeed plain-text, so relay operators do get to read them and watch your thoughts come in live.
Oh gotcha! Yes completely understand. Everyone deserves to build the app that they would want to use. Also I have so much admiration for everyone who worked on nostr the first four years. So inspiring to start such a revolution.
Thank you for getting excited for NextBlock!
Oh, I completely agree! We should be building ALL THE THINGS on Nostr, and I am stoked to try out NextBl9ck when it is ready. I was just giving my take on why the Nostr community doesn't seem to care much about what is happening with TicTok.
As Nostr grows so will the community that builds it. I joined Nostr a year ago and months later @npub1pmh…uksr and I start working on #nextblock. Because I pushed for it.
We think we're building a great social media experience that anyone would enjoy and the benefits of Nostr will be the bonus feature.
The painpoints of Twitter you listed are the same on any legacy social media. And Bitcoiners have been divided from the rest of society because of legacy social media blocking information. We should be working to bring different experiences for the masses. To free us all.
it's a very soft deadline
I finally was able to sign Olas events with Amber today, properly; via NIP-55. It won’t be included in the next release as the next one is focused on much better wallet and connectivity improvements; but the one after that will be 100% about Amber. Both should be out before Thursday.
I get that. We do have some devs who are very much against the official Google PlayStore (for good reason), which means you simply may never be able to use their apps unless you are willing to step outside of that comfort zone and either use the Zapstore, or download the apk directly from their GitHub.
Neither am I. That's just the middle tab in Amethyst's UI.

Nope, I didn't use Note Discovery
Here it is on the kind 20 feed in Amethyst:
https://relay.brightbolt.net/359fdad8668566f69795c4040292264f1b0d2627cd9a4b8d5072bd6ed0d92c92.jpg
Maybe you saw it there?
I also checked his #nostr feed, it's not there
Then how did I see it on @nprofile…s8dt 🤔
Hmmm, I don't see anywhere that he quote-posted that. I can only see it in the kind 20 feed, or here where you quote-posted it.
@nprofile…3e59 Derek must've quoted that Olas note on @nprofile…s8dt
#nevent1q…wdka
@nprofile…3e59
@nprofile…n6q3 posted this on Olas, but I saw it on my @nprofile…s8dt feed 🤔
How is @nprofile…s8dt showing kind:20 notes?
#nevent1q…z57e
Like this one?
https://relay.brightbolt.net/4eccbce2acd5e94185c88f8740321a04f136992917426abc542e516c781bc331.jpg
This is actually just a kind 1 note with a kind 20 quote-posted within it so it would show up in the regular feed.
Thanks 👍
I've been seeing Olas posts in the @nprofile…s8dt feed though
Here's where the note discovery feeds live, and several of them are long-form specific:
https://relay.brightbolt.net/5287b96eca3ee65c48b13fe4ce3ecaabfabe5a5362ed1d603f7eaa6f00d95685.jpg https://relay.brightbolt.net/997e99ee2244241e145d5c866da317769e55c4412190c3c3c37fd2f4aa780de6.jpg https://relay.brightbolt.net/fbfca10553dc3f4801c3536b6f966dabeb2df8afe5f51f5b632934e145387781.jpg
How do you create a separate feed 🤔
Looks like long-form notes do show up in the main feed. I just hadn't noticed, since they are so few and far between compared with kind 1 notes.
I definitely prefer having a separate feed for them, though.
@nprofile…qunw @nprofile…uf7k somebody controls the source code
Yeah, same for me. It took 15 minutes to load the page.
If a lot of people I follow were blocking you, then your posts would be hidden with a warning that my frens are blocking you.
It's a WoT thing.
And I have the security features on.
It depends upon who you follow. I also see you normally on Amethyst.
You follow people for long form content on @nprofile…e69h and habla.news ... doesn't necessarily mean you follow them in @nprofile…s8dt
Amount... Meant npub, but autocorrect had no idea what that is. 😂
That makes sense. Thank you for the explanation! I can definitely see the benefit of following folks for particular content types, rather than following everything a person posts, and then the client can give you the options, or if it is a client that focuses only on a certain kind, only add the amount to that follow list.
changing the meaning of kinds in nostr, specially something so ubiquitous like kind:3 is very hard/impossible to get agreement on
but besides that, follow lists are already quite constrained by size limit, multiple people run into this issue, they are also designed quite poorly (leading to the issue where people get their follow list wiped often)
we are still figuring this out, but these scoped follow events should be an improvement over the kind:3 we've had thus far (although it's unlikely the kind:3 will go away any time soon)
I did manage to upload something now, can you see the NewYearSpeech of the Indian Guru?
That’s dope af
If I’m ever in the area I’ll hit you up
And we have a growing Bitcoin community here. Kicking around the idea of starting a PNW version of Pubkey in the CDA area.
I’m sure it’s a much calmer way of living too and better state policies.
Definitely glad to be here. Moved away from the communism of Western Washington and it was the second best decision of my life, with the best being when I started stacking sats.
Oh is it?
I stopped by there once with my wifey at. Restaurant and it was amazing food. Empanadas (guy name was Nathan I believe) ahah but I guess it was near the university.
Lovely chill vibed area. I also connected with one black person there. He was SO HAPPY to see me and I’m like sorry man I’m just driving by, I don’t live here haha.
Otherwise known as freedom land, yes.
If the solution already exists, then there's no issue at all. This post was just to drive engagement. Next!
I think it's a Alby Hub issue. And Alby is aware of it. When the backend node goes down, Alby Hub isn't always able to restart services, and manual intervention is required to re-initialize the connection between the backend node and Alby Hub.
If there's anyone who can make sure services are running properly on their Start9, it's @nprofile…eu8h. He's helped me out of a jam on a few occasions now.
I tried to DM the @npub1730…9yky but got a bot reply. But yeah I keep getting errors
First, it's already happening with big pools excluding transactions in order to be OFAC compliant, and yet those pools are only getting bigger.
Not all censorship results in financial loss that would actually make miners leave due to their bottom-line shrinking.
Those accusations against @nprofile…ckyu were ridiculous because OCEAN had and still has such a small percentage of the hash rate that any transactions they intentionally excluded would have made it into the very next block, and their intention was ALWAYS to let the individual miners make their own block templates, which we can now do, so OCEAN has no say in what makes it into a block.
Meanwhile, all it takes is two entities to collude and they can keep transactions out of 90% of blocks, which has a meaningful impact on how long it could take for those transactions to be included by a smaller pool.
Most mining companies would not solo-mine, because they need the consistent revenue.
The point is, if a solution to the problem exists, and it does. DATUM works. Then more pools should adopt it, or miners should move to pools that it can be used with.
My only real concern would be a decrease in the number of nodes, as that could indeed lead to centralization! As long as the incentives are aligned, I don't see any issue.
There have been some cases of censorship in the past, like when the Samurai team accused Ocean itself. Anyway, game theory takes care of this. If this kind of thing starts happening frequently, the censoring pool will end up losing money, and miners will switch to another pool or even choose to mine solo. Next.
Its more likely his backend node went down or had some connectivity issue, and he didn't property restart Alby Hub. I've seen this with a lot of self-hosted Alby configs, especially those using Start9.
Wow thanks. I did not know that or haven't checked it in a while. 🫂
Yes that's a cool feature.
It sounds to me like Ive got my hashrate targeted correctly.
Running DATUM on Start9, awesome.

Yeah, I don't think there is a way to get your credits back out. Consider it a donation to the service provider.
Unleashed is a great little service, and I have never had issues with it. Others also seem to be having no issues, so there must be something strange on your end such that you are getting errors while no one else is reporting the same.
@nprofile…fgca is the guy to poke about it.
I keep getting errors and I can't get my credits out of the system 😐
Flotilla is a client for relay-based communities. Find it at flotilla.social
5 times is the threshold but you are far, far, far more then 5 times.
What you are referring to are orphan blocks, which do happen from time to time when miners find a block very close to the same time as another miner. However, both of those blocks usually propagate to the whole network before the next block is found. The nodes just hold onto both blocks until the next block is found and propagates out to everyone. The chances of two more blocks being found at about the same time and built upon different previous blocks is very small, but you still wouldn't have half of the network not knowing about one of the blocks. Both blocks would propagate out to all nodes, and they would keep them both until it became clear which chain would become the longest.
But the miners aren't relying on ALL nodes to do this for them. They are relying on THEIR node, or really their pool's node in most cases, to provide that service. Which is part of the reason pools charge a fee for the use of their node...
Let's say two miners (A and B) find a block at the same time. One part of the network will stick to Block A, while the other part of the network sticks to block B (due to propagation difference).
The miner (or lets say longest chain) that can faster propagate through the network over the next blocks will win and thus get the reward. Not sure if we cab call it a race condition but definetely here the reward of miners depends on nodes.
I have no idea if mine will appear there or how. The Amthetyst Algorithm basically counts your entire history against you per the code.
For example, if you ever said the same thing more than 5 times, spam!
Interesting.......I heard that a few times. But many have noticed the autol-blocking.
No. And I also just spun up a brand new npub and looked at my security filters. You are not listed as a spammer, and I can see your posts just fine.
he is, he even made a misleading video about it.......if it's not happening to you, you are special or security filters are off
Do you have security filters off?
I am posting this from #Amethyst. @nprofile…pyug is not censoring you.
I have no idea what you mean by micro work... I also don't know what you mean that the service nodes provide is how miners get their rewards... It's not. Miners literally pay themselves... Nodes don't pay them or in any way make sure that they get paid. They just make sure the miners didn't pay themselves more than they are allowed to by rejecting any block where a miner tries to pay themselves more than they are owed.
Stop lying.
Security Filters are on by default.
My followers literally told me over and over Amethyst is blocking them. I seen it with my own eyes.
Not if , Vitor admitted in in a misleading video and slandered me as a spammer. it's all public
Why are you acting like such a retard now?
Do you not value truth?
By providing that service, miners get their reward - I cannot disagree more to describe this with 'no"work" involved'.
The only challenge I see, is that the additional work required to proof their micro work could be more than their actual "work" provided.
They do, but they only provide that service to each other, so all nodes equally benefit from other nodes and provide that benefit to other nodes. So again, there's not anything they should get paid for. There is no "work" involved in that. It's just relaying information around to their peers who also relay information to them.
Never said they provide micro work to find a block.
The provide micro work to propagate the information about the longest chain along the network.
Wait... Nodes provide "micro work" to the block? No. They don't. They contribute ZERO work to finding a block. Not even a little. No reward due to them whatsoever.
I am not saying "(light) node pay (light) node each other" but miners distribute based on a proof of micro work a micro share of their block reward to nodes thatare legit - maybe randomly.
There is no benefit that you provide to the network by running your node that all other nodes on the network don't equally provide to you. Hence, there is nothing to pay you for, unless someone who is NOT running their own node is relying on your node in order to access the network. In that case you absolutely could charge them to do so, but that would be on you to decide whether or not to charge for that service, and how much.
True, no proof there - that is why I am asking for a criteria to identify them - to proof it.
Since work is being done. Not as much as is being done through mining but still it is work.
I am unable to follow on the singular "only for you" rhetoric here. Sure I do it for me but also for the network.
Not unless I start using someone else's node, I don't, and then, yes, they could charge me a fee for its use if they so chose.
If my node is booted from the network, then I either need to find a way to get it reconnected, or I need to use someone else's, and only then do they have a legitimate reason to be paid for the service.
If my peers are booted from the network, my node will find new peers. And again, my node is providing exactly the same benefit to my peers as they are to me, so there is no reason any of us should pay the others.
You may benefit from them if your node and its peers are cut off from the network?
There is no POW, so its vulnerable to sybil. Plus like @nprofile…75kl said, you run it for *your* protection, which only protects the network by extension of everyone protecting themselves. By itself and without a bitcoiner using it defensively nodes don't have much value some minor caveats here).
This is why one person spinning up 10,000 nodes is meaningless.
Yes. Now, who benefits from those legit nodes? I benefit from my own, so no one should pay me to run it. Anyone using someone else's node may benefit from that node, and the operator may charge for its use or not charge. That's up to them.
"actually transacting" sounds misleading here.
As I wrote initially, it should be legit nodes of course. 1 million legit nodes are much more stable than 20K.
It's not about the sheer number of nodes, though. 100 billion nodes that no one uses for actually transacting doesn't protect the network from anything.
Mining requires specialized hardware these days. Your general purpose GPU or CPU cannot keep up with the SHA256 specific ASIC chips, so you wouldn't earn anything at all mining with your regular PC.
Snag a little Bitaxe if you want to dip your toes in and see what mining is all about. They make great conversation starters, too.
Can I get started with a dedicated PC or do I have to use specialized equipment?
@nprofile…3e59
It is perfectly clear to me how the network works and why Lightning Routing will be paid.
The amount of nodes in the network is a measure of distribution. The more nodes we have the more robust it is against attacks. I was thinking of rewarding that aspect. It should be also in the interest of miners or any other participant.
Sweet! You won’t make a fortune, but it’s fun and you’ll be contributing to the security of the Bitcoin network. 🤙🧡⚡️
Take a look at my post …;) I am
Coming …
Thanks, please let me know how we could make it better for you!
Currently, nostr-relay-tray doesn't actively pull events. This is one of the features I'm working on. Since not everyone has the ability or desire to expose their local service to the internet, the ability to pull events from public relays is necessary.
From my observation, there seems to be a broadcast service in the nostr network. This might be why you're seeing events from others in your relay.
Can confirm, dead simple.
Awesome. I was 100% looking for a GUI.
I remember failing miserably at trying to run the booger relay?
I hope this one is easier to setup.
I am not sure exactly how the client filters out notes from those on your mute list, and each client may work differently there.
It could be that they pull all notes on your read relays into the local cache, and then purge any that are authored by your muted npubs, or they may ask the relay to only send notes from nouns that don't match your mute list, so that those notes just never hit your local cache.
My guess is the former, though, since #Amethyst will tell me when a quoted note is hidden because it was authored by someone I have muted. Seems to me it would only know that if it had received the note from the relays into the local cache.
I am sure a client could choose to ignore your mute list altogether. But they don't, because they know everyone would drop their client in a heartbeat.
I had thought that maybe the client was doing mute filtering once on pulling from the relays into a local cache, rather than filtering when reading the cache.
Ah, I see that despite clicking "Mute User" and approving the modal multiple times, this npub is not getting added to my mute list.
Was doing it via the web app. Just did it again from iOS Primal App and it was added to the mute list.
It should mute them completely, for you. It's just that on Nostr that's all "mute" means. The notes from that npub are still there on the relays, your client just shouldn't display them to you anymore. Anyone else who hasn't muted that npub will still see them, though.
Ok I thought it blocked and muted the npub completely.. I understand some may slip thru when they shitpost nonstop and we are on the same relays..
Mute lists just tell the client not to display notes from that npub to you, so it should work retroactively on old notes from that npub, too.
They try, but they can't fool WoT.
@nprofile…3ttr @nprofile…43nv
How does one mute a user and have it work retroactively on (already cached?) notes ?
There's other valid currencies that can be used in cold storage too.
But yes, having solid wallets like foundation that prioritize better cryptocurrency projects is perhaps ideal.
Fire, flood, the elements in general.
I don't know of any alternative cache relays to Primal's.
Exactly. so primal fuckn my mute button so is fuckn amethyst app.. do you know of any cache relays?
You have to weigh the chances of something happening against how destructive it would be if that something did happen. A new hard drive is what, $30? Is that worth potentially protecting your whole stack from being targeted, not to mention if your wife and kids are home when they come looking for it?
If we went by the logic of the chances of a thing happening as the only consideration, then no one has any reason to carry a firearm, because the chances of needing to use it are "super minimal."
That might be a fun little project actually. Good idea!
You can always throw Linux on the old laptop. That’s a whole lot of fun to learn. More private than Windows and Mac too.
The chances of anything happening is super super minimal. Zero out the drive a few times if you are super autistic
That’s an idea. Hadn’t thought of that. Thanks!
He's considering selling the laptop to someone, with the drive he's been using going along with it. It would not be a matter of how important he is, but rather a potential target of opportunity.
That would secure your btc. Its true they could find where you sent it though. Why not keep the laptop as a backup for btc stuff?
Yep, then you don't have to worry anymore.
In reality, you can just format it and throw it away.
You are not that important
The small amount of fiat I’d get for my old laptop is not worth sacrificing my peace of mind and potentially doxxing myself and my stack in the worst case scenario. Appreciate your insight as always my friend!
Hard drives aren't expensive. It's probably worth going full paranoid if you have any question about it and just replace the drive and let your buyer install whatever OS they want on the fresh drive.
Destroying the drive is always the answer if you have sensitive information on it. I suppose you just need to decide how sensitive you think your xpub is, since it doxxes the size of your stack, which could make you a target.
Anyone who recovered your xpub from that drive would know exactly how much Bitcoin you have associated with the private key on your Jade, and they would know that you have a hardware wallet, since the keys were not on the laptop. That would give them a significant amount of information to go on if they decided it was worth breaking in to find your hardware wallet.
That's without taking into consideration any other sensitive data you may have had on your laptop that hasn't been a part of this conversation already.
I have a Sparrow + Jade combo. My keys have always remained offline and have never been on my old laptop. This is why I don’t understand the destroy the drive answers I’m getting. My current keys are secure and offline. Yes, if the drive was restored, they could find the public address I sent my stack to but like you said, they wouldn’t have access to my keys.
If they did recover the info on the drive, they would now know your addresses that the Bitcoin was sent to. Wouldn't give them access to it, but if your keys aren't on the laptop right now, they also wouldn't have access. You're using a hardware wallet with Sparrow, right? Sparrow isn't holding your keys hot, I hope?
One more question. What if I made a new cold storage on the Mac and moved the holdings. New keys and wallet data that never touches the old device. I could then wipe the old laptop and sell it like I would like to do. Or is a demo day for the drive still in my future?
Unfortunately, the threat-vector of some asshole figuring out you are a Bitcoiner who likely has enough of a stack to make it worth their while is a very real one. That is going to be the case with any notable asset of value, freedom money or not.
Destroy the drive.
I remember when the credit union I worked for in Western Washington had to get rid of old server drives, they would have a range day. 🤣
Yea definitely not a one size fit all but it just seems like 95% of Nostr is talking to a meme behind the screen. Holding bitcoin doesn’t seem like freedom anymore if you have to hide yourself.
Obviously I’m not saying give all your info out there, that’s silly but yea it’s nice to see a few human faces.
@npub1kun…3lhe Can you review the comments on this thread and give me your 2 sats? I appreciate your insight if you have any. 🙏🏻
Thanks @nprofile…czp2 !
I wonder if that would work for you @nprofile…6932 . You could set up npub.pro, even hosting your own, and import all your existing content from your Ghost blog, rather than the other way around, importing the Nostr content to Ghost.
Really appreciate your message. Thanks. I love it when I see happy users support a business and product
Honestly, I read all notifications, and emails, and I never saw anything about the wallet changing
Anyways their support has been in touch, so I am sure I can sort it out
We use Ghost themes, and we have a tool to import content from Ghost, but no Nostr->Ghost cross-posting yet.
Usually Primals caching relay is pretty good at getting a fuller picture of the activity than you get reading from your own relay set, because the caching relay is pulling from SO MANY more relays, but it may be having some issues, because it doesn't seem to be displaying some events posted to relays I know it pulls from. Something's probably broken.
This legacy API is no longer recommended . Some recommend Ising connection instead if unstable _noStore
here is how to do
import { unstable_noStore as noStore } from 'next/cache';
export default async function ServerComponent() {
noStore();
const result = await db.query(...);
...
} #note1u29…82mz
Thank you for your solutions .I appreciated it.
Step by step, I can do. 🫡
there's a step by step how to in the docs. once you know how to, the freedom will set you free 😉
Nice! You can find the streams here:

You scare me with the "build it yourself" language. Not a coder here. lol
Oh LOL i see @nprofile…wsa6 answered much more succinctly hehe
No its better to build it yourself. wait until V1.0 LNbits comes out and build from scratch on your hardware. I really strongly suggest you do this instead of depending on someone else's build because they will always fall behind.
I mean it gives you tits, shrinks your balls and makes you cry for a week a month
Just have to use the big words. Don't ya? 🤷
Levender is highly phytoestrogenic
Cool thanks friends! I already have that client. 😂
Actually, I am thinking of a Tea Tree Tallow, and a Lavender Tallow. But going to be awhile before ready for sale.
If you ever release anything lavender scented, my wife will authorize the spending of sats in a heartbeat.
I'm honored 🙏 I'm about to expand as well. Going to be experimenting with colors and scents.
Definitely like it! Will be back for more!
Thank you for your support 💕🙏. How is it? Do you like it?
Ok, let me give this some thought. I'm a little slow at times. Thank you for your tutelage.🫡🫂
nsec.app is in the browser, right? Should be able to just log into nsec.app from your Android instead, then copy/paste your ncryptsec to Amber.
Why not just use Damus
Zap zap zap script n Zeus?
Kinds are how the data is classified, so that a client knows what do do with it, if anything at all. For instance, if your profile note wasn't a different kind from regular text notes, a client might display it in the main feed each time you update it.
How data is distributed is by posting notes to various relays, regardless of their kind, though some relays do restrict what note kinds can be posted to them.
Dangit. They're using a stupid apple
So, if I am understanding in a more simplistic manner. Kinds are just ways of how the data is distributed? Or is that wrong?
This nsec is on an iPhone and I think I can move it to amber on my droid with out having to type out my nsec?
I'll keep an eye out! Thank you!
The big problem with its use is that applications are not prepared to use single relays or post to specific relays. It quickly becomes confusing and several notes are sent from your relay with content from your relay.
I’ve looked for number 4 alone and struggled to find anything substantial. Might have to build my own front end for a solution that checks my other boxes. Which will be terrible for anyone else who wants to use it because I’m a minimalism absolutist AND a terrible programmer 😶🌫️
I'm implementing something very close to this. But it's in its early stages and will take some time to become available.
Sorry, #2 should be "Allows those who are followed by the folks I am following to post to it." That is, WoT level 2.
Will play with it some more today and see how it goes. Was working for me yesterday afternoon as well, certainly way more reliably than NIP-46 via Amber. Wonder if we can dial in on why this is working well while Amber can be finicky.
Yeah, since edits aren't supported by any other client, it is best to think of them as simply not being a thing for the time being.
Sure, make the edit for the sake of your own OCD on Amethyst, but understand that the majority of users will still be seeing the original version.
Even if we do get edits in the future, something to understand is that someone could still end up seeing the pre-edited version, because your edit may not make it out to as many relays as the original post.
Same thing goes for deletion requests.
You bet! I've been using Alby Hub since it was first available for @nprofile…sa8d , so I have figured out a few tricks along the way. It makes being an Uncle Jim (or Auntie Jane) for your friends and family incredibly easy.
It's like Fedimint, but for your Nostr signing... Sure, it's not self-custody, but it's still a massive improvement over the status quo of a single entity owning your identity. All for it! Especially since those of us who want 100% control of our keys can still do so.
To be fair, I have tried using NIP-46 signing with Amber and it is spotty at best right now. Sometimes Amber receives the signing request, but the client never receives the response. Sometimes Amber just never receives the request in the first place. But occasionally it works as intended, and it's absolutely magical! So, need to figure out how to have the latter be the consistent experience.
NIP-55 signing with Amber is always quite consistent, though. We'll need some kind of similar spec that works on iOS.
I am only on Android, so I am not sure what is available with relay selection options that are quite so robust as Amethyst.
That’s the note I was looking for, thanks! I don’t have Android so I need to find a client on iOS or PC that lets me set up relays like that.
I agree with your ideal. We just need amber on iOS.
The browser based app like nsec bunker just doesn’t cut it. It makes the whole system feel finicky and brittle.
You sir, are a genius. That is exactly what I'm going to do.
not sure, it would take some debugging of this nsec bunker stuff to find out. i just hear of many failures and yeah.. i assume its ndk related bugs.
What's broken with nostr-login?
> I would present the remote signing bunker string as, ...
This is the plan!
> So if they DID collude, ...
In the future we will have a wider range of signers, and users will be able to choose their signer in an advanced wizard tab, so that risk is really minimized. A signer is a really simple and lightweight process, it can be hosted on a phone too, so maybe you can choose friend's or familiy's signers, too.
Type 1 notes can already be edited in Amethyst, but it is not a protocol-approved feature. They are currently under discussion.
@npub1kun…3lhe it's working for me.
yes, check the readme:
http://github.com/getalby/hub
also any existing connections will break (as the relay changes) so you have to configure the apps connections again.
Ooo i thought i could not. Although my article does not need editing. The zap distribution needed some fix, it was suggested by habala itself so i gave everyone a stake and added @nprofile…qy9c out there too, some did not have wallets, some required minimum zaps🤣. I tried zapping once, there was a lot of popops. I tried to remove em, every time i edited it the zap share halved and multiplyed once, making it funny and weird looking. Maybe a bug!
Not kind 1 notes. You CAN edit long-form notes though.
Thank You so very much, for taking the time to write that.
I understand things now.
For reach i rekon the importance lies in relays, my amethyest has boat loads of em, unlike my primal. Relays seem to be quite a tricky thing.
Thank you again.
Also i cannot edit things in nostr can I? 😆
wish i could show you the logs easier @nprofile…3e59, i didnt anticipate nostr being this broken after this many years.. lol.
but, it does give me some ideas for trying to help debug where it wont just be me debuggin the relay side of things. 😁
nostrlogin? its already on the broken list.
I have attempted to use my relay (dikaios1517.nostr1.com) for remote signing via Amber. Sadly still quite unreliable. Sometimes signing requests pass back and forth without issue, other times they just hang up for no apparent reason. Add NIP-46 to the list of things to debug. lol
im def annoyed. lol. fuckit, dust off the guillotine (for myself)
Probably, but I have no idea what the limitations are in iOS that have kept something like that from being built already. Not a dev here, just a power-user and one that only uses Android for mobile these days.
There are a lot of ideas about what the ideal onboarding experience should look like. I think they will all be tried and we will narrow down on which is best based on how well received they each are by non-technical users.
I've thought it would be a great idea to have a signer built into a password manager, like Bitwarden. However, there are a LOT of people who still don't use password managers for some reason. (What is wrong with you people?)
Others like the idea of building it into a native client on each device, such as Damus on iOS and Amethyst on Primal, etc. Perhaps all native Nostr clients could have it built in, and users would just choose which one they want to use for it. I think this would create artificial lock-in for whatever client they chose. Yes, they COULD just set up a different client as their signer, if they wanted to switch, but most would just see this as an enormous hassle, especially if they have remote signing set up with multiple other clients that they would need to set up all over again.
Another idea I have seen that would possibly work on Android, but could never work on iOS, is to have the signer built into a Nostr app store, so that the user would use the app store for their original onboarding and for finding apps to use with their signing credentials. Over here on Android, that would maybe mean @nprofile…rp63 adding it to @nprofile…r7w9 . I think he has more ambitious goals than just having Nostr apps in his appstore, though, as can be readily seen by perusing what is already available there.
Personally, I think having it as a separate app, like Amber, is just fine. I would love to see that signer app actually become the app used to onboard new Nostriches, and then suggest to them clients they can use with the signer, and how to get Zapstore in order to find more. However, for that to happen, the signer app needs to be readily available in the system's main app-store, otherwise you are expecting newbies to download it directly from GitHub or first get Obtainium or Zapstore (ALSO not available in the Google Play Store) to download it.
Flow should be: Go to app-store > install signing app > set up basic profile > back up nsec now or skip till later > select client to try and be redirected to download it > open client and main option for login is using a signer app which automatically reaches out to already installed and set up signer > be amazed because the client you just logged into has your profile information and a default feed because you haven't followed anyone yet.
It has always been a maybe, and people thought they had missed the boat at $20k and Bitcoin was "too expensive" just like they now do at $100k. They have no idea how small a $2T market cap really is in the grand scheme of things.
The problem is that all of that is still a maybe, and the price has increased considerably. Its not the same to orange pill people now as to when it was 20k.
Couldn’t a local signer be added to an app like Damus? Then it just becomes your main Nostr app?
I always wanted @npub1tnp…kkpe to become a local signer but that never came to fruition 😔
We don't really have any mechanism for posting specific topics to specific relays. However, a relay operator could set up their own relay that aggregated notes about a specific topic, and then anyone wanting to go peruse that relay specifically could do so with one of the clients that allows you to see relay-based feeds.
Most folks wanting to post about a specific topic just use appropriate hashtags, so users can find those notes regardless of the relay they are posted to.
I think topic-based communities are a great reason to run a relay, though. @nprofile…8x3z is the guy really putting work into this usecase with his Flotilla client.
save your events own your events 🫡
:_thank_you: :_solid: :_awakening:
I'm not sure how it works and it may require a hot signer now that I think about it. @nprofile…vdel maybe you could shed some light?
We have the ability to delegate signing permissions to a child-key now? That could definitely be interesting...
You can delegate common permissions like with amber, I rarely need amber because I allowed amethyst to run free and rarely touch other clients since signer support is so poor.
If NIP-46 can be made more reliable, I am ALL FOR this onboarding flow. In fact. I would present the remote signing bunker string as, "This is how you log into Nostr apps. No email or password needed. Just keep this in a password manager and paste it into any compatible client. They will have it listed as signing in using a "bunker." Here's a list of clients:..." Then just give the nsec as a way to recover the bunker if it is compromised. Done.
This quorum of FROST signers is very interesting indeed! No single point of failure. However, it is still a relatively small group needed to collude, and I assume you need their cooperation to retire a bunker string, right? So if they DID collude, it would be no different from your nsec being compromised.
There is no local signer for iOS. I want this really badly too. Remote signing is so buggy and often just doesn’t work.
I agree, NIP-46 needs to be more solid. Talking about that I probably just found a bug that break the signer when only one realy is unreachable. This probably caused the bug with Coracle you are talking about.
NIP-07 offers a good experience, but unfortunately no one use extensions. NIP-55 is a really good solution, but it's not so immediate and works only for mobile apps.
Got it. So ssh into my Start9, open the .env config, and I should find a variable there for what relay to talk to for NWC. Edit it, save and exit, then restart Alby Hub and update all of my NWC connections to use that relay? The rest of the connection string should stay the same, right?
that’s currently not planned, because the architecture currently requires it to be set at startup.
Any chance of putting it in as an advanced option in the UI in the future?
it can be configured when self hosting through an env variable
It is much harder for anyone not in a USA-friendly time-zone.
ANDROID PHONE located Uber dude just messaged me!!!
Your positive feedback has really motivated me to keep developing! Thanks for your input, these features will be included in the next version.
Yakihonne already does this pretty good under the video tab. Pretty good notifications when your follows publish video of the above kinds as well there too.
But otherwise for personal use and fun:
Some of us are already there. When its not on the market, we are the nostr market. Just some page that already pulls kind 1s with media links only (blossoms links in notes work great), 30311, 34235, 34236, youtube links and I forgot what else (I was going for stemstr but I think nobody has used it for awhile and wavlake stopped using nostr events, shame, althought their old feed still works) and works with npubs the user inputs, your follows are your wot, that's it. Works with rss so it can be loaded in the podcasts apps without much faff, that narrows down the subscriptions even more especially when certain npubs start to publish more quality video content. Logs with extention,Amber and bunker for convenience or not. Will eventually work with the relays from 10002 and not just the fixed list of big relays. Podverse is ok with it and even fountain got better loading private rss hence loading media from rss of an npub you choose to load and not just the official feed. Much to be added but its a fun playground and eliminates the global spam, reduces the noise and keeps focus. Something has to be done about discoverability of media by topic,tag,whatever .... on global but at first you trust the follows to not publish shit anyway.

31890 is a coracle custom feed, that this one has two filters kind 34235 and 34236
It's hard to imagine how sharing in a different kind would scale to different apps.
Let's say, I have follows on Amethyst, on my Blog and on Olas. They are different follows. One sees my kind 1s, the other my kind 20s.
If I want to share the podcast, I might want to share with both. For Amethyst, I need to prepare a short post. For my Blog, I need to write a little longer and provide more content. For Olas, I need to prepare a picture that would say the same thing.
If there is a TikTok-like app, then I need a video of me inviting people to the podcast. Or maybe a way to quickly make a video clip out of the podcast with my Olas picture + the podcast audio.
It's going to be hard for Fountain to offer sharing on all of these different types of media. And the amount of options will grow over time.
What do you mean by "a major if"? If the thing you're sharing is not a Nostr event then you have no other way besides sharing a link in a kind:1, so you will share a link in a kind:1, there is no discussion there.
My point is that if you're sharing Nostr-native content that isn't short text notes then you should share those as the correct kind and optionally quote them in a kind:1.
Coracle is a predominantly kind 1 client. So is Amethyst, or Primal. Some of them display SOME additional event kinds, but they mainly focus on kind 1.
What you shared is a kind 31890, which is why coracle doesn't render it.
There Is no kind 1 client, that's no exist on Nostr, coracle custom feed #naddr1qv…g8qk
Sure, but that's a major "if." Most podcasting 2.0 apps don't even have Nostr integration yet. Just @nprofile…3xgh, though they probably have a substantial marketshare of those already on Nostr.
If the podcast is a Nostr event you are already listening to the podcast on a Nostr client capable of dealing with podcasts, so you share it from there.
It's kind of like posting a podcast in a kind 1 note, right? No one is going to stop their scrolling to go listen to a podcast. However, if they are opening up their podcast app and see that someone they already follow shared a podcast out that they had never heard of, they may check it out there.
There's also not really a graceful way to encourage folks to share podcasts or videos they really liked as a different kind from a kind 1 focused client. That means most users are just going to share that content in kind 1 because it's the least friction way to do so.
Hence having a separate client that aggregates a feed of that specific type of content shared in kind 1 notes for when you do want to kick back and watch some videos would be useful.
They do, but no one watches it.
Agreed. Doesn't make sense. People still do it, though. 😂
Posting full videos on Kind 1 doesn't make any sense. We are not here to see videos. Especially long ones. No one stops their kind1 scrolling to watch a 15 minute video.
Clips are fine. But that's pretty much it.
I won the debate, by the way.
Ok it's never worked for me in any version and I thought maybe it was just my phone.
We have the same problem, here, that most teams are financially and personally beholden to the same people. That's not real decentralization.
It's like boycotting Volkswagen by buying Skoda.

Yeah, but it's also written by someone from the same team.

And there is BitcoinJ in Java.

Yup. Plan is docker compose, then eventually start9 and umbrel
Would help differentiate, for sure. Also, the non-Geyser profile will naturally follow and be followed by more legit npubs, and therefore will score higher for WoT on any clients that use that metric for search results.
I generally use #Coracle to search for people for exactly that reason.

*You can still keep your Alby Lightning address and either collect sats (up to 50k) as fee credits on our node
or connect your Alby Account to other NWC wallet, like CoinOS
or connect it to someone's Hub Friends&Family
or start your own node 😉
In any case, you do not lose you Lightning Address 😉
Best
Mmm ya thats a tough tradeoff 🤔
Umbrel is still not able to support an external HD, as far as I know. Hopefully that changes in the near future.
I mirror my Umbrel's drive every couple months.
are there backup options for umbrel? in comparison to start9 where i can say plug in an ecternal HD and back up services / data to it? ty
You have a couple options. You can use Tailscale which is a VPN which makes your devices able to connect remotely but act as though they are on the same local network. Or, if you own a domain, you can set up Nginx on your Umbrel after configuring a bit of port forwarding on your router. Trust me when I say this is far less complicated than it might sound.
I've been trying to learn more about IVPN and Mullvad. What is TINC?
so, if i were to run umbrel on a mini computer in my home, and wanted to access say my nextcloud files or watch a movie via jellyfin not over tor. how exactly does that work? i am very used to start9 but umbrel not so much.
It has worked very well for me, so far.
hmm i like this setup 🤔 the umbrel for non-btc shit.
It's definitely worth a look. The original release left a lot to be desired, but Hello Games has done well at redeeming themselves with the updates.
Can’t go wrong with Minecraft!
I’ve been wanting to try out No Man’s Sky!
32GB is probably overkill for that usecase, but it's one of those things where, if you can run more things concurrently, you probably will. lol

The extensions like Alby and Nos2x are just for web apps.
What's available for mobile apps depends on your operating system. There aren't currently any signer apps available for iOS. On Android we have #Amber, though, and it's fantastic!
It can be a challenge to figure out which apps actually work with a signer app, though. Here's my wiki article with as complete a list as I have been able to compile:
#naddr1qq…accg
Looks interesting. Thanks for putting that together.
That's the beautiful part. A signed message does not reveal the private key used to sign it, only that it legitimately belongs to the public key.
Take a look at my attempt at an exhaustive list of apps with external signer support:
#naddr1qq…accg
100%
Primal or Amethyst both allow connecting to a Lightning wallet via NWC for one-tap-zaps. Either are a great option. Would probably lean toward Primal for someone who just wants it to work.
Here's a full-length review I wrote for Primal and released last night:
#naddr1qq…vxll
Yes. They’ve seen me using damus with nwc alby. Anything similar for android users?
Semi power user but for nostr probably just “want it to work” tier user.
Something they could connect a lightning wallet to.

No. I can't see what you've posted here. I assume it's supposed to show a video? All I see is a blurry pic that turns into a link that doesn't do crap.
Uploading to a blossom server?
It doesn't appear to be working for me; in app or browser. 🤷🏻♂️

Yea I appreciate having the freedom to choose without it feeling like I’m completely switching to a different social media platform.
The Author:
Writes an article about Die Glocke and publishes/targets it specifically to the "Nazi Researchers", "Frequency Frens" and "Bell Boys" relays.
Reader A:
Is reading from the "Bell Boys" relay and wants to see / go check out the other relays this was published in.
Reader B:
Comes across the article because it was in his follow feed, because it was mentioned in a chat message, because other non-target relays can choose to store it too, or...
This reader too wants to discover and interact with the audience of this article.
An App:
Wants to only show replies from the targeted relays.
A targeted relay:
Might disagree with the article being targeted at the "Pokemon Peers" relay or at the "Primal" relay.
Having such a "Targeted Relays" tag/label just happens to be useful too for what you call "protected events" in NIP-70, since you're not relying on relays rejecting the events. Instead, you have the signed receipt of the author telling you which relays are and are not his target.
Were just describing things like firebase lol. There are specs for http based abstract databases. It could be a standard. Call me lazy, but I'd rather client developers build this type of caching on their own, because if it's a standard its probably going to suck.
I've developed a framework for this exact purpose for my own apps
https://github.com/VnUgE/Plugins.Essentials/tree/develop/plugins/VNLib.Plugins.Essentials.Accounts.AppData
it just lets web client's store arbitrary data with a standard http endpoint. It can be protected by authentication and other stuff. Thats how all my apps store user's preferences. In Nvault I use to store all sorts of client-side data for every user. I use it for website whitelists, permissions, and so on.
You want to get an event from relay A but the event says it was targeted to relay B? Why aren't you connecting to relay B in order to fetch events that were targeted to relay B? Otherwise why does this has to do with relays at all?
I'm now sure I am not following your intentions with this. Can you give an example of what exactly you want to accomplish?
Exactly. So it's all just virtue signaling BS.
Sure, but how many of them are using something other than what you would have already used without them specifying?
I agree, mind virus, I mean really you need to announce what the fuck you are in your own mind to the world.
Hate to break it to you people with pronouns no won really gives a fuck but that .001% and the people pushing it to see how many simpletons they can get to add them.
It sounds like an FBI app feature TBH.
Probably more than that. 1/3 of my office uses them.
I don't want my private relay (or server, indeed) to do only that specific thing though.
Neither do I want to set up fifteen different private relays, each with their specific purpose.
I want my server to challenge the buggy clients, lol 😂 .
And no need for standardization to appease 0.001% of the population, + those who want to pander to them by putting the pronouns we would have used for them anyway.
They could have. Absolutely. Having standardization helps. Though with no validation it's not really that much of a standard.
Lol, I can't go and ask ALL relays if they happen to have a certain event. Literally, can't.
You see the event 👉 You know where it was targeted.
That's what I'm looking for.
Something like the h-tag in NIP-29.
(but editable like a label + with the ability to specify multiple relays
Only the author can publish the event to a relay.
If it's in a relay, you know that relay was explicitly targeted by the author.
With this, how does the author say "this event is targeted at these relays"?
This NIP asks relays to reject events with a ["-"]. It doesn't help in specifying the target audience for the event. That's what I need. In a way that's editable. For any event type.
Without any errors I can't advise, but it's probably some kind of cors issue
NIP-70 does this in the best possible way.
Hmm. I guess I would be inclined to avoid calling it a relay, because it has a very special purpose. You're basically looking to standardize a personal database api.
You'd probably want a way for the client to challenge the server (relay) before trusting it, which we don't have a spec for either.
We'd also want those relays to be local only, so that unencrypted data isn't sitting in plaintext on anyone databases.
An h-tag with the target relay, such as Chachi and the NIP-29 complexity lovers use, can only do the trick if the tags are editable after the fact.
> the option to select which relay it gets sent too
Yup, I've been breaking my non-dev mind over where to propose this crucial feature in the NIPs.
Needs:
1️⃣ Npub can specify what relays an event is targeted at
2️⃣ Npub can edit this relay-set later on
Yes, that's what I'm suggesting indeed.
The incentive for users to have their own relay is already huge, even without this.
Good explanation. I like bitwarden too
You know how relays and clients work on Nostr? Same basic idea. Just like relays are where all the notes are stored, and clients are how you access/view them, Vaultwarden is where all your passwords are stored encrypted on your own server and Bitwarden is the client you use to access/view them.
How do they work together?
Clients and relays do not use any form of data encryption (defined in the nips) to speak with each-other, only TLS, TOR, and so on. This encryption is strictly for client data.
Are you suggesting storing plaintext client data, in a private relay, so that it could avoid that UX hassle?
I would love for clients to have that fine grained control over relays. Personally I'm mad and I'd like for every note signed, the option to select which relay it gets sent too.
Double checking here:
Let's say I have my own private relay (inbox). If I'm the only one being AUTH'ed on it, does the data it sends to a client need to be encrypted?
Or can it in theory receive encrypted messages, decrypt them, wait for me to open my chat app and send 'em over?
I think different clients will have different target userbases, so they should differentiate how they structure and handle things, wherever more than one implementation can be justified by some use case, so that users have an array of choices.
That said, users only have choices in features, if the quality of the clients is generally high, because they have to extend trust that the developer built according to some industry standard because bugs are a security risk. I think that's really what you all are discussing.
Oh, dear. I'm totally out of my league, in this discussion. 🙈 What I understand about encryption could fit on a postage stamp.
I will dip my toe in enough, to say that a stateful architecture allows for more advanced features, and that maintaining the state in the browser cache or a local database means you probably don't have to encrypt it, but it also means that you can't pull the state from multiple devices.
because you don't think they are important, even though they are the backbone of all other social networks
This is exactly my issue with how other clients implement DMs
However I am not opposed to implementing NIP-17 DMs in noStrudel I just haven't had the time to really sit down and work on them
Dont forget sparrow is for every os
I don't think blue connects to cold storage
Does it connect to a bitcoin node?
Lightning with lnbits can be more universal but that chan el opening part ruins it
I remember an issue trying to use a sparrow wallet with blue wallet or vice versa...one could not import the other
Spectre Desktop is one. Nunchuk, but not sure if it can be connected to your own node.
Personal opinion: There's no reason to look beyond Sparrow.
What are some other wallets that do that?
I don't want the app storing my data on public relays, regardless of the cryptographic nature. I'm arguing that the UX blows when decrypting DMs at startup.
If you want to ask me for a single decryption request when I load, that's better (ill personally decline it). But I also want the app to still function when I decline it because maybe I don't trust the app. It needs to be able to fall back to some type of local storage
so, you don't want your app to decrypt the state of your account, ok
don't force that on everyone else
and don't assume that coracle's implementation isn't naive and doing work when it doesn't have to
i've quite kicked a hornet's nest here
good
because i know confidently how encryption works, i have been working with EC signatures and encryption algorithms for 8 years now
but don't bother asking me, of course, because you all know better
I mostly agree with this. Specifically why I dislike nip46's ability to use public relays, relay auth can't be trusted for client-side security.
I think remote signers (nip07 for desktop) are the only way we should be interacting with web clients. Which is the purpose of my app nvault. I will eventually add direct connection only-nip46 support with nip44 encryption only.
For me there is also the UX of opening a new app and having to accept 100000 message decryption requests, then add 200ms of latency per request. This is the main reason I stopped using coracle. I can't stand declining all the auth prompts.
The final issue, is most client's can't correctly handle exceptions thrown during nip07 requests and most of them lock up after I decline 2 or 3 in a row: Coracle, Primal, Nostter, ChaChai,
I just want to choose when to load my chat, not every social client need's to handle DMs, I can go to another client for that. Most clients are only good at 1 thing anyway and most of us just hop between clients to do multiple things because theyre all broken in some way anyway.
also, making it difficult for apps to access decrypted data destroys all possibility of having state
@nprofile…jwp6 please recite to me the issues regarding stateful and stateless systems?
without easy access to encrypted data, nostr can't have state without revealing it, liek @nprofile…clq5 's app does with nostrudel configuration, and in contrast to @nprofile…gkyr 's app coracle, which encrypts app configuration data
also @nprofile…3x8x and @nprofile…rtna please go read about how AES cryptographic systems work, you guys really don't seem to understand them, or at least, i assumed that at least Jon here did, i could be wrong
bro, if i have the secret, i can encrypt all the things
do you want to also move reading encrypted messages into the signer?
please explain what you mean
maybe you, like all these other nostr client apps, don't realise that modern AES encryption schemes DON'T enable cleatext attacks
literally, if you actually understood how modern AES-256 encryption algorithms worked, you'd understand why i find this absurd
decrypting one message doesn't decrypt them all
please go read some actual fucking cryptography papers on what we have had for idk... 20 years...
Yes, through our zeuspay Lightning addresses
Even Zeus recommends connecting Zeus to your OWN node for optimum experience.
Alby hub and Zeus and your own full node is ideal
Once you pay, we maintain your node in our cloud, to which only you have access and keys.
One channel is enough, but it's recommended to have 2+ to good LSPs for redundancy

Clouds.. 😶🌫️ 🧐 So once i paid I am running a node in the cloud? No other installing etc.. to do? I'm still way to far away to understand - if ever...- things like github.
I would only need one channel right? (I'm not planning to open a store)
And to outsource everything... is that that bad? It's not my sayings i put on it but more like the cash i keep in my pocket right. Sucks if i loose it of course. The company that offers services linke LN wants to be trustworthy to be able to survive long run..
I plan to give it a thorough test and review once it matures a bit.
i got that same warning from flotilla, whatever its doing there is not reflective of the relay config.
eventually ill get nip66 implemented for the relay.tools directory so the trex can show more relays
nostrrr.com is the next trex, but it doesnt show all kinds..
Was about to ask the same.
Anyone? #AskNostr
#nevent1q…w44y
Yep. I have a relay running with them, though I will probably decommission it now that I have my Haven relay self-hosted.
Already is one, which I recommend to non-technical people: relay.tools But yes, much better to self-host
Well, the relay communities are like that. I have the relays listed in Chachi or Flotilla, and then I just switch between them.
And I only look at my fave relays on Amethyst, Coracle, Habla, and Nostrudel.
There's a sort of synergy going on, now, with crossover between relay community clients and microblogging clients, so that we'll eventually be able to have one of each and use them slightly differently because they offer two different views of the same relay dataset.
Relay communities make Kind 01 clients an outdated model, but they're adapting and might pick those use cases up, so it should get interesting.
Reading all this i think it is better to just have a talk, because i cant figure out if i just mis-interpet what you are saying or you have inaccurate notions of how Nostr works, or some combination of the two. So we would have to sort that out before i can answer :).
FWI Dikaios, currently recipes are not seperate kinds, but use the long-form kind. iirc Pablo mentioned trying to filter out the recipes due to this conflation that currently exists. This is also part of the reason we are looking at recipes as @nprofile…92cv
4K display (retina) and high quality (MacBook Pro) 😭😭😭
Highlighter is supposed to be the place content creators build a following. They can highlight their articles, have paid subscriptions, are shown on feeds like Primal. It's like the content creators dashboard.
To get Zap Cooking that far, we would need a coder who would want to take it that far. And that is also something @npub15u3…05rq needs to approve of.
If you're looking for one client to post both the recipe and the long-form article together, the one that would probably make most sense would be to integrate long-form into zap.cooking rather than recipe posting into Highlighter or another long form client.
I would like to make it easier on content creators, pull up highlight, add images, add recipes, and let it sync up. This is a dream. Might not happen for a bit, but I can ask. If content creators only had to go to one place, do all their business, and then it gets put in different Nostr apps for different reasons is more ideal.
I already know I can post the recipe on zap.cooking and have them use it on Highlighter. I literally just told someone to do that right before I posted this note to Pablo, Seth, and Primal. It's kind of a wishful ask.
I will just write more food words then lol
I just tried posting a simple recipe post from the long form feature on highlighter, it doesn't show up in Primals READ FEED, but when I reposted the Holiday Marketplace Guide, it showed up...the only thing I can think of is the size of the post I wrote

This is on our roadmap, but at the moment we do not support NIP-17.
you can easily run it in the cloud.
The channel costs only apply once per channel. Imagine it as a setup fee for the connection.
With Coinos you outsource everything and put your sats in there control.
So what i understand now is that I need to run a node by myself -which is still foreign to me- to do it.
I like to close everything off when i leave the home and shut off internet when sleeping, so chance is I need to do that 'one time payment' again and again?
Meaning this is not the way for me and better I do a subscription way or find how to use something like @npub1h2q…w8ch ?
Good choreography... Not sure how much money they sold their souls out for though
Wow. Guess my blastr settings work.
There is a chat relay for DMs
Yourrelay.com/chat
@nprofile…mu6e does the inbox relay work as DM inbox, too, or just public inbox?
It's insane that they don't even use options to gamble, to limit how much they can lose at a time.
looks like only @npub12vk…pugg doesn't support nip17 ?
sending a dm to an npub doesn't make them a member of OPA, we could be sending DM for all kind of reasons, but we get your point
do most clients support nip-17?
Thanks, what a bunch of idiots.
hopefully @npub18m7…q955 or @npub12vk…pugg are working on OAuth so in the future we can just use them to authenticate an nsec.
for the time being, sending an OTP to your DM is the most secure / private way to use nostr as a login mechanism
that's correct, we don't sign events for you, we only verify you have access to an npub so that you can use it to login/signups on OPA
Sending an OTP to Gmail would count as email login.
Correct bro. OTP login is only useful for nostr-adjacent apps, since it doesn't allow actual signing of events. It can only verify your nostr account for non-event related functions in that app. We use it at minestr.app for this purpose 🙂
We’re gonna send you an OTP to your npub DM

The LSPs we work with aim to keep channels open indefinitely as long as you use it and keep your node online.
If a channel is closed, the funds on your side of the channel will go to your onchain balance.

Can I try it here for a test run? It’ll just be for 1 sat
Yes. For instance, #Amethyst is a native app, so is #Damus on iOS. You aren't accessing them through a web browser like #noStrudel or satellite.earth.
Some clients have both a web version and a native app, such as #Primal and #Coracle.
Indeed he is. Coracle.social, too.
Are you the dev of #Flotilla?
I'm glad my blood sweat and tears paid off
Native apps on your phone?
NIP-55 is a way for native apps to talk to a local signer app for login and all signing requests. It's very fast since all of the event signing is happening locally, rather than having to communicate with a remote signing bunker,like NIP-46.
What is the URL for Flotilla?
Browser extension can become irresponsive if concurrent request are sent.
Oracle now handles all extension requests sequentially, do you still have the issue?
I dunno how umbrel works, need another dev to build such a thing
Hey, channel opening is a one time fee, and that goes to onchain fees and (in certain cases) to your channel partner.
There is a monthly fee only for Alby Cloud, if you decide to outsource running and maintaining Alby Hub to us.
If you run it on your computer, it is completely free
And if the LSP suddenly closes (how i think it work) the sats in my LN wallet get send to my cold wallet, if i added it, or else they are gone? And if the onchain tx fees are high that could mean not much is left..?
With the hub app 'pw fill-in area', also if i fill something in there and try to copy it hitting right mouse no options show up to copy/paste.
I could either get used to it, fill in the pw manually every time, or maybe make it shorter(less strong) because this app with pw are only on this device i use? So it's not that someone could hack it and use it on their device, unless they have this physical device with app?
Sound foreign, but something I'll learn to work with in time. I'm hoping the industry become more "tech-dumb-friendly". Seems so if i reads how self custody was not as simple as now with all de coldwallets out there.
With combining the two i mean use both extensions i guess.
And another Android app gets added to the list.
This time it's Flotilla by @nprofile…8x3z, released with immediate support for both NIP-46 AND NIP-55.
Well done, sir! 🫡
I hope more will follow your lead.

Yes. Lightning channels open and close in one on-chain bitcoin node transaction.
So in one channel you can have many transactions on lightning while it all appears as one transaction on the bitcoin blockchaib when the channel is closed.
I pay my friends tab at the bar, he pays mine we pay someone esles a group them get us back, last call close shop, all one bill settled.
And those lightning nodes both connect to a #bitcoin node?
Between your lightning node and another lightning node.
You're basically paying your tab in advance till it runs out.
Read this https://bitcoin.design/guide/how-it-works/liquidity/
No, docking is when the channel is first opened.
From there, sats ride via The Girth Channel.
And the dock is the channel?
Yeah, you're essentially docking two dicks together.
So, when @nprofile…5fk2 asks you to open a "channel", it's basically a bridge between the lightning node and a remote #Bitcoin node?
🤔
#asknostr
#nevent1q…4kpp
Wondering how AlbyHub works? This article dives into its various versions (cloud, desktop, Docker) and how they improve Lightning node management and self-custody. Check out the article,written by nostr:@npub1kun5628raxpm7usdkj62z2337hr77f3ryrg9cf0vjpyf4jvk9r9smv3lhe
#naddr1qv…rd0n
The payment is for the channel which is with one of the LSPs. It is a one time payment as long as the channel is open and if everything works fine the channel stays open.
As to the password we should check why you can not copy it in. to start the hub or to login you have to enter it.
I guess under settings > privacy > use own nostr profile
Thanks man. You nailed it. I thought I had this bookmarked but definitely did not!
My technical language is a bit messy, sorry, i ment extension for windows. I use the alby atm. Thank you for giving some options.. Coinos looks interesting and so do the nostr signers. I would be able to combine the wallet and nostr signer i'm guess.
@npub1xv8…lk3x
I just downloaded the alby hub, got surprised with a 20k sat payment to open the channel. Is this a one time thing as long as I use this computer I have? Or can i log into it via other devices onto my alby hub?
It does work a bit weird because i can't copy/past my password into the desktop app and needed to typ in manually that one time verifying code(don't have the name right) to activate the alby hub. Do i have to write the password it every time? Or is this hub/password only stuck to this device?)
I'm not used to apps, hear people talk about them, but i am somewhat oldschool dumb internetter.
🙏
And then you are doxxing your IP.
Fair point. It's less likely that a domain registar would do this, but again it's entirely possible.
Can you really ever even say you own your lightning address even in full self custody. Unless you use the IP address for your LN you're still just renting the domain.
It actually makes use of sign events for the case of relay Auth, but its something completely optional
Yep. We could. It's a trust relationship no matter who you're using for Lightning addresses, unless you're using your own domain and web server.
To be fair, nostrplebs.com could do the same thing with my NIP-05's Lightning address redirect. It's still a valuable service to me despite that very real trade-off.
You'll get no argument from me on that! People are generally unaware of the tradeoffs of ANY given service. They are also generally unwilling to put in the work to educate themselves in how to mitigate them, even with software that allows for it.
The answer to lack of competition, though, is more people who are capable of doing so building alternatives that are approachable for users.
For instance, I am happily using Datum to compose my own block templates from my own node's mempool, but only because it was easy to install and configure for someone of my limited technical literacy. Expect me to compile something from source to be able to use it, though, and I am out. As are many others of my level of grug brain and lower.
Make me an option that is even remotely as useful to me as Alby Hub, just as easy to run, and gets rid of some of the existing tradeoffs and I will happily use it instead.
my VPS in bulgaria also restricts port 25 but i have zero interest in doing SMTP service anyway... my workaround for this specific case would be that the middleware or client side would have a wireguard extension to access a private network for this, and that would satisfy the auth requirement that is the reason for this restriction
SMTP is broken, utterly, it's the main reason why google has monopolised email
> i don't think they get to control, only to restrict, there's a difference, and if they do that too much they risk losing your subscription
Right, but if every provider does it, then where are you going to switch to? For instance port 25 incoming and outgoing traffic is blocked by default on every cloud service I've worked with in the US. You must express written formal request to open port 25 and submit a KYC.
This is because government has laws in place to restrict this, but what are my choices?
The other issue, is who gets to determine what tradeoffs are good for the average user... Usually the service/software. Kind of a big deal when those decisions get made for users without their knowledge, permission, or ability to easily change that AND still use your service. If there is a lack of competition like we see in big tech, they are forced to live with these tradeoffs or nothing at all.
I'm trying press people into discussing these tradeoffs. It can't be all silver bullets and rainbows. Lighting is retarded complicated and making it easier for the end user is papering over the complexities by adding "hidden" trade offs.
That would be a conflation of self-custody with self-hosting. Custody is, who holds the keys. Hosting is who controls the computer where the software is running. Now, if you are running your Alby Hub on anyone else's computer/server, it may still be self-custody, but it is not self-hosted, and there are certain sovereignty trade-offs you are making. They may or may not be worth it to you, but they are also very different tradeoffs from someone else holding the keys to your funds.
Alby Hub is not for everyone. If you don't want to run a dedicated full Bitcoin node and LND, then you have to be okay with the tradeoffs of trusting Alby's node for all on-chain data, and channel opening and closing. You know... Just like any other self-custody Lightning "wallet" that isn't running on top of your own stack, like Phoenix, Zeus' Olympus node-on-a-phone, or Mutiny before they shut down.
There is no perfect solution. They all have trade-offs and we just have to determine which ones we are okay with.
Sure they can't hold your funds, or spend them, but they do get to control some portion of your ability to send/receive them. I don't know that it's fair to say that what defines a custodial service who's holding your private key.
A cloud VPS service is custodial because it handles hardware provisioning and networking for me.
A DNS provider is custodial because technically it's possibly to host your own name servers
My ISP is custodial because it also does networking and routing for me as a service.
Awesome Ill take a read! But what if I don't want to run a dedicated operating system???
I actually cover this downside of many Alby Hub versions in my recent article here:
#naddr1qq…c4f2
My recommended setup is using it paired with your Start9, Umbrel, or other LND node.
As far as what it offers, I also cover that in the article.
Something to throw in here too, to my knowledge, your hub has to be connecting to some 3rd party chain state validation servers (bitcoin nodes) to see the blockchain, it's not validating transactions locally. (it does not do an initial block download) Which means DNS poison or possibly malicious nodes (whatever method they use to connect to nodes). I believe they support connecting to LND which would allow you to bypass this, which I'd highly recommend. But if you're running LND and Bitcoin Core in a full node already, what are they offering? A GUI?
No disagreement there! That still doesn't mean Alby Hub is custodial. You still hold the keys to your funds.
Absolutely! That's a very different thing from not holding the keys to funds you already have, which is the traditional definition of self-custody vs custodial.
When alby serves an invoice from lnurl you can't be sure they're not maliciously serving their own invoices instead of yours, intercepting some of your payments for themselves
Of course they would never, but that's what he means. Still a lot of trust
If Alby wanted to do so, they could change derekross@getalby.com to point to any LNURL and wallet. I'd never know until it was too late. I'm not saying they will ever do this, but it could absolutely happen. It's just a server config file. A rouge systems administrator could point it to their wallet if they wanted to do so.
Added, and with the caveat that Pokey also only needs your npub.
I set up the hub about a month ago and purchased inbound but then decided its not nessesary as im not a big user and dumped the project as it didnt justify a few zaps here and there although i see the benefit for some,and it was fun setting up. Great support from the alby team! Yes im using minibits now as the getalby wallet is closing :-(

Now it's crashing for me as well
If you have no interest in the responsibility of managing your own liquidity, which is part and parcel with self-custody Lightning, then Alby Hub may not be the option for you.
That does mean you will be using custodial options, though. Coinos is the one I would currently recommend. Close behind that would be MiniBits.
OK, after messing around I found the icons hidden at the bottom by dark mode 😃 able to login -- able to switch light/dark mode -- tried adding and saving a relay and it didn't seem to stick
You don't have to. There are plenty of options for running it for free.
See here: #naddr1qq…c4f2
Not crashing on me anymore. Icons at the bottom of the screen should be light colored in dark mode. Looking forward to signer support, too.
That seems like a better option..they offer 3rd party channel providers at 17 and 100+ usd Monthly.. For a few zaps here and there ill stick to a simple wallet although i love the the principal.start9 good choice..
No way to access settings/login with Amber...
I think something got borked on the build process; when running locally on my android it works well; will figure it out 😅
We are planning on adding NWC soon so you can connect your Alby Hub wallet to Fountain. I’ll be posting about beta access soon!
Fair point. Not sure OP is looking for a self-custody node rather than custodial wallet, though.
Not as of now. It's a very limited feature set, but will improve rapidly.
Alby Hub run on Windows.
Desktop apps have the downside that they are not always online but depending on the use case it is good.
With the best of intentions. It's what we're here for, lol.
Leave it to the wife to dox me. 🤣
Happy cake day!!! Welcome to the club! 🔥🎂
Wish my husband @nprofile…g04y a happy birthday today! The big 4 0 !
Wish my husband a happy birthday today!! Big 4 0 ! @nprofile…g04y
That may be, as I have never purchased a channel via Alby Hub. I had my channels already set up in LND prior to installing it on my Start9.
That said, there is nothing in Alby Hub requiring you to buy channels from them, regardless of which version you are using. Just go to your Node tab, click on Open Channel, then go to the advanced options and for Channel Peer choose Custom. This allows you to put in the node ID of any peer you would like.
For the average zapper..albyhub inbound outbound channels are .waaaay too expensive
This is a phenomenal writeup for anyone looking for a way forward after alby sunsets their custodial service. Self hosting albyhub is easy and free. It's a fun project if you want an easy intro to docker or self hosting in general
#naddr1qq…c4f2
My take on the various versions of @nprofile…qss4 Hub and what makes it one of the most useful pieces of software you can run for Lightning.
#naddr1qq…c4f2
I upgraded from R-Pi by buying a mini pc and installed Start9 on it. I will never go back! The documents are accurate and the software runs well.
I never had problems with my umbrel, but I only run a few apps on it.
Pi. Im a space bum not a space whale 😆
On a R-Pi or Umbrel Home?
I'm using umbrel. I don't normally have issues unless I get like power outage (even tho I have a UPS). I've heard nothing but good things about start9. I thinking of updating my set up in the new year.
Oscar said it’s on the road map.
There's not really any reason Fountain couldn't integrate NWC for your wallet for both streaming sats and earning.
Since signing in with Nostr I have been unable to even set up a Fountain wallet, so even that option is not open to me.
Yeah Fountain is the only one that you can earn sats from but why not use AlbyHub in as many apps as possible?
My understanding and experience thus far is you have to use the Fountain wallet for earning…
But you can send yourself some sats to boosts with inside Fountain app (wallet)
Podverse is my daily driver but some people don’t find it sexy so PodcastGuru is my second suggestion.
May have to try that out... I love #Fountain, but am waiting for them to let me connect my Alby Hub wallet... Wen @nprofile…0rct, wen!?
No earning sats to listen but you can stream sats and send Boost while listening. I’m listening to @npub1jcy…2890 in @npub1t8c…9gm4 right now. https://image.nostr.build/59b0a1594186cd2884bb4113cc223656a99261a43aac963eefacf18ba412c237.jpg
So, are those like Fountain where you can receive sats for listening and support the podcast by paying by the minute using your Alby Hub wallet?
Nice summary and this is kind of my take away also. It’s hard to explain since it has so many options on how to run it but running it on a node is the best option in my opinion.
You can also use #AlbyHub in several podcasting 2.0 apps like Podverse Curiocaster Castamatic LNBeats PodcastGuru. These aren’t Nostr apps so people don’t seem to care around here but if you spend all that time setting up AlbyHub why not try it out in a podcast app?
You can use an LND node as a funding source for Alby Hub. I don't know if Zeus allows allows such connections.
Or rather, as an interface for a particular wallet hosted on your Start9 or Umbrel node.
Yes, but when you do this, you are NOT using Zeus's self-custody node - on - the - phone. You are essentially just using Zeus as a mobile interface for your Umbrel or Start9 node.
We have been talking about trying to use the node-on-a-phone option from Zeus with Alby Hub. To my knowledge, there is no way to do this.
Yes indeed its a great solution, btw when i create in albyhub a private connection is it possible within the hub to put in a balance or is it only possible from a wallet outside the hub?
We put a lot of work in making it easy for everybody to take control over their own bitcoin with Alby Hub. More improvements coming soon. Zeus is a great LSP in Alby Hub.
#albyhub (albyhub.com) solved offline receiving which is great for receiving zaps 24/7.
You can use it for free on Umbrel or Start9. You can connect your Alby account to Zeus and use Zeus to pay on the go.
So... That may improve your self-custodial Zeus wallet/node's liquidity, but it doesn't do anything to enable Alby Hub's features for your Zeus wallet/node.
Ah. In that case, as stated elsewhere, just open a lightning channel with Alby, or any node, from Zeus. Look up node addresses on 1m.com
#WhyINostr right here. #note1zca…yg2s
If you're using @nprofile…5fk2 self-custody service, there's anyway no point to connect it to @nprofile…qss4
I think the point was to do it using Zeus's self custody service WITHOUT having to run a node separately.
Yes they can on LND bit not on CLN
Not necessarily zeus comes with sn embedded node in their app but thats different to the one you connect toom your node, within the alby hub there are some LSPs are recommended even for smaller amounts which serve well as an initial node connection
About connecting @nprofile…5fk2 to @nprofile…qss4 ... I suppose you would open a channel on @nprofile…5fk2 and then enter the node info on @nprofile…qss4
You can add your lightning terminal custodial wallet to Zeus and UJ that way. Conversely, you can connect your Alby to Zeus, as well.
Don't know if @nprofile…5fk2 can receive offline
I read the verses, thanks for sharing but I don’t understand. Adam brought sin into the world and Jesus takes away sin but my question is God made Adam and Jesus, why are they not brothers since they are both of his creation. Adam was a man and Jesus was a man once. Is what separates them sin?
Yeah , but I remember back in my younger days, I used to sport a sag, when I went to school I carried lunch 🥗 n a bag, and I always got mad when class was dismissed.

Very cool, man. Thanks. Historic Premill is legit, got some good Church Father support, too.
Historic/Covenantal Premil, actually. That said, I hold it with a very open hand and have a lot of agreement with certain aspects of both the amil and postmil views.
I am also a non-dispen myself (Reformed Baptist). Out of curiosity, as a Presbyterian, are you more in the idealist or partial-preterist camp? Some guys in our church are exploring Bitcoin and also discuss the classic Reformed Amil view of Revelation and the resurgence of the partial Preterist and Post Mil views. This certainly makes them more willing to learn about Bitcoin as they are not worried about taking on some satanic mark or losing salvation.
New to BTC, but not the Reformation. Posting the 95 Theses is my annual Halloween Decoration. Kids wants candy, fine, but ya gonna get some knowledge bombs dropped, too. Maybe I need to put the White Paper up, each year, too?

Using the connection string given in the wallet set up, it will connect to the wallet you just set up on your node and anything sent to that Alby Lightning address will go to that new wallet, too.
And it will just automatically connect to my existing node?
As part of the wallet set up, it should prompt her to log into Alby and connect her account with the NWC connection string.
How? The guide just tells how to set up a sub-account without lightning address so she’d have to create an invoice to get zapped
Appreciate the knowledge my friend! 🙏🏻
Oh, I know it's certainly possible we stay above $100k in the next bear. I just like setting my expectations lower and being pleasantly surprised to the upside.
i dont see it
in 2018 we also didnt reach 1k again in the bear only 3200!
Okay thank you because I’m like man I spend so many hours learning and self hosting just to get cut off and having to find another solution.
I did it! https://shopstr.store/listing/85ec891ec90f26151aae8f173ab9b6b9a33055f55996e6c5ca5a226044119005

I've been listening to several "Renewing Your Mind" podcasts about Martin Luther lately. It was started by R.C. Sproul, who has passed away. I can't remember if he was the one doing the podcasts, but they were very good.
Love to hear that! It is very well done. Fr.. Josiah has a great conversion story too, worth a listen.

I cut my teeth on Mint. I don't use it anymore but I don't have a bad thing to say about it.
Good on you for making the switch.
Ever thought of doing it as a long-form note instead?
Already following you, by the way. 😉
Lots of great information!
Welcome!
I post small posts on running open source freedom software. How to integrate Linux, DeGoogled/Linux phones and Nextcloud together, and how to synchronize everything between them all.
Integrating Linux, DeGooglef phones and Nextcloud gets you off of Big Tech systems.
I index my Nostr posts here on Nostr so topics can be easily find in the future. If you want to browse freedom software topics, go to my profile, and tap the "Index" link, and then tap an Index Letter in the table.
This only works in Amethyst because it's the only client that shows edits and updates, and Amethyst is the only client that renders markdown.

100% Mint is the way to go
I just learned about wildcards and the remove command, so I'll be putting that advice straight into the round file.
Well, I originally installed Ubuntu and a good friend was like, "WTF man! Install Mint!"
and don't forget, when in doubt, rm -rf *
you made the right choice!
Remember - type ESC and :q to quit Vim
Thanks! Now I am going to knuckle down and finally learn to use CLI.
Good choice but the best distro who cares you're on Linux. #winning
Yes, I have. Very cool server. It's where I first heard @nprofile…3hjy playing on their in-game radio.
Have you heard of the btc server on the game called rust.
My discord is Alakrit#7222
Honestly, i don't know how to use nostr's DM so I didn't get anything
Sent. Let me know if not received. I sent it as a NIP-17 DM.
I'm always up to make something. Do you have discord? It's a bit easier to chat there.
That’s good to hear. I’m a little skeptical of Knots. The download is taking forever.
That sounds so cool. Is there a spot to input your own header or message so that it is engraved on the chain when your miner hits the block?
Great! No issues so far after initial setup. It definitely makes me feel more involved, since I now go and check to see if it happened to be my miner tjat found the block whenever a new Datum block is found.
How is it going so far? I’ve been downloading for 5 days. Can’t wait to run Datum and Knots.

just like the word "catolika" means "universal"
yeah, trust those roman bureaucrats faking being religious with their failing empire and their supposed miraculous vision of constantine
they left out Enoch, and nearly removed it from history until it turned up in the Ethiopian Orthodox canon, it has been part of the jewish canon since at least 2500BC and then more versions were found in the Dead Sea Scrolls
half of what jesus is famous for saying comes directly from Enoch and clearly in Jesus' time everyone knew of it
the catholics don't even literally say that the apocrypha are wrong, they just made up this "word of god" doctrine that has muddied the waters for the last 1600 years
the word "apocrypha" doesn't mean "made up" it means "hidden" apocrypha is the antonym of apocalypse
i mean, just think about the story of the "stealing of the blessings" of Isaac, Jacob and Esau... the subtext of that, and i've read it in two other apocryphal versions (jasher and jubilees) is that Isaac was behaving in an unholy way towards his "younger" son Jacob, and Rebecca acted to bring justice... and not only that, in the Jasher (longest most detailed text containing the stories of Genesis i am familiar with) Jacob does not clad himself in goat skin to appear hairy like his brother
Isaac was clearly demented, if you ask me
there is a good documentary that examines this called "The Essential Church" which goes through many of the biblical instructions and other related historical cases where the state has gone against the church
i think that 1 Samuel 8 really should end the debate, it's the oldest instruction on the subject and it basically declares that a government (king) is not voluntary and leads to slavery
at best a state is minimally harmful, minimally... not zero... it is the case where by chance the disbelievers choose not to be purely evil but it always leaves a crack open for the Devil to creep in
the debate about the thing is the whole minarchy/constitutionalist argument against decentralised, polycentric law and pure free association
the first pillar of the state is involuntary membership not born of birth and even those bound to family by birth (as per the commandment) are still not bound to be dutiful to a tyrannical family
so, in no case does the authority of God come second to any man made authority, ever
i think the discussions of this in the new testament more are about advising meekness and evasion rather than obedience to the government
To apply this to all governing authorities seems like a blanket statement that is not supported by Scripture. The Apostle Paul clearly taught in Romans 13 that God has ordained the existence of civil authorities of some form, and explicitly given them the sword "who carries out God's wrath on the wrongdoer."
Paul was not speaking of some idealized government when he said this, either. He was speaking of the corrupt Roman empire.
That being the case, I would much rather have a government structure that involves the people voting for their leaders than one that doesn't.
Jesus rules over his church, throughout the world, and he rules over all else, including civil authorities, via his sovereign providence. Ruling over all things through his church is something we look forward to when he returns and we can finally beat our swords into plowshares. That day is not today.
Fren, I appreciate your response, and you've made it obvious that I must refine my meeming...😃
Memes are of course an extreme shorthand; and as I've been unclear, here is the point I attempted to make, in longer form:
ALL nation-states (and their related subsidiary governments) are based on the initiation of force. Consequently, everyone who votes, regardless of what "side" or "issue" or "candidate" they may be voting for, is in truth invoking the pricipalities and powers of darkness and wielding them against their neighbor.
And yes, let's look at a larger context; the chapter begins by admonishing us to walk in love. Supporting the state--even implicitly by choosing its rulers (i.e., voting) who claim the right to coerce and rob us--is FAR from loving our neighbor. In an even wider context, the book begins by explicitly telling us that JESUS is above ALL that political garbage, and that he rules EVERYTHING through the agency of his body, the ecclesia.
And he's told us, as his called out ones, that we're NOT to "Lord it over" our neighbors as is the manner of the nations... And so, that is why "voting" is un-Christian support of tyranny, a perpetuation of gentile "lording over" that Jesus has condemned.
Hey, glad you dropped in! Looking forward to seeing you stream, too!
I am using a webcam and OBS. Pretty straightforward setup. Just need to add the webcam and game as a media source in OBS, then plug in your stream key from zap.stream and you are off to the races.
Are you on a minecraft server?
Datum is software recently released by the guys at @nprofile…ckyu that allows you to construct your own block templates from the transactions in your own node's mempool, but still receive pool rewards. It helps mining be MUCH more decentralized if more pools implement it.
I figured that's what happened. I am always paranoid that people have been chatting and I am just missing it because it stopped refreshing, so I manually refresh from time to time, only to find out that no, everyone's just lurking.
Resolve the differences about whether we should ask Mary or various saints to pray for us, about which both sides have adamant convictions. Resolve the differences about whether only professing believers should be baptized or also their children. Resolve the differences about whether Scripture alone is the standard of truth, or also tradition. Add to that the vast number of other theological convictions that prevent organizational unity.
And make sure your resolution is not coming from a centralized human authority structure. Would you take away the right of these Christians to hold a wide variety of convictions, all based on their belief that their view is what God commands of them? Only Christ has that right to set things straight when he returns, not any organizational structure made by man, which can and has often been corrupted.
Until then, freedom of conscience and denominationalism is the way forward.
yes, i always find her stuff worth looking at, though i don't read the long form articles that often
Multiple denominations is a feature, not a bug. It is the only way freedom of conscience can be maintained.
#nevent1q…3vcj
#biblestr
Yeah good idea. Hey @nprofile…0pev help me out. I'm using Amethyst and sending zaps isn't working, though receiving is
Christianity is not like Bitcoin, though. It does not need to maintain a single, uninterrupted chain (denomination) that everyone agrees with and is a member of.
It only needs to maintain consensus around one fundamental truth that all Christian denominations agree with and can therefore continue to call each other "brother" despite other differences of lesser importance that prevent them from maintaining organizational unity.
Namely the gospel of Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord to all those who have faith in him as the Son of God and in his atoning work on the cross for forgiveness of sin.
That's the only consensus I need to consider someone my brother in the faith, even if our other theological differences would prevent us from realistically worshipping together until Christ's return, when he will correct all of our errors and misinterpretations of his Word.
Of course, the caveat is to stay away from the mainline denomination (PCUSA) which has fully bought into the woke BS.
OPC, BPC, URC and a few others out there are the way to go.
Yeah, some of the big corps around here tried to get compliance, but Idahoans are an independent thinking lot, for the most part.
via one of my follows, LibertyGal (idk why client is not finding this) there is a nice documentary The Essential Church about the fight of several christian churches across california and a few other places who refused to stop holding services, and i found it very interesting their point - about how we are compelled to gather in a church, and how it is good for us
i think i can easily see a dozen different ways that this gathering has a benefit for the interests of a common group in general and since i identify with teh idea of adhering to goodness, it makes it easier for people with weaker hearts to stay stronger, and for those who are tired of monastic struggle to feel some solidarity
We should have you out for a meetup some time. We have a decent amount of Bitcoiners out this way.

Can't go wrong with either, if you want a full-size, hammer-fired.
I am just partial to the compact and striker-fired handguns.
curious to know your opinion on the Sig P226 and CZ75, i've heard they are quite reliable...
You're right in principle. Ecash lives on device and there is some time needed to reach and process it - it can't compare to full custodial servers.
As well, to see that zap was paid next to the zapped note requires the receiving node to publish so called zap receipt. That takes some more time.
I was unaware there was a difference between FFO and the pixel remasters for FFI and FFII. It is the pixel remaster version.
OG Final Fantasy from the NES, but with slightly updated graphics. It was re-released several years ago with FFII and packaged as Final Fantasy Origins.

If you go to your profile screen and tap the 3 vertical dots in the upper right hand corner, you'll see a "share" option. That shares your nprofile link.
Coracle is a web client at coracle.social, but there is also a recently released native Android app. You can find it on zap.store.
Done, it was confusing a lot of users. Now payment buttons & QR Code disappears after payment is confirmed.
You can try it: https://tinyurl.com/zapit-paywall
Best to use trgular browser with foxy proxy to uae tor as needed. Many sites block tor
If you are a pedo or criminal, use TorBrowser
Extensions will only be able to pick up `lightning:` links if they are available in the DOM, for some reason this site seems to do the redirect via JavaScript. 🤔
Can I ask what client do you use?? I’m trying Nostur at the moment
Let them know, I'm not hiding😁
On iOS I am not sure. Take a look at Nostur client.
Not everyone runs Android, but if you do, that's a fantastic option. Overkill if you just don't want your IP exposed to the relays you are connecting to, though, and with some noticeable performance hit if you are trying to load anything more than text notes.
I am using the internal Tor feature on Amethyst, and it's fantastic! That said, my feed, and especially my notifications, take several seconds longer to load.
Why not just use Orbot or Amethyst with internal TOR?
@nprofile…4xa4 or Mullvad would be my recommendation. I use IVPN personally. Can pay via Lightning.
I believe that's a limitation of their node software not nwc itself, we so things differently with lightning.pub so each user wallet can have there own or multiple nip69 offers/lightning addresses
I ask because the only thing Alby Hub provides for an isolated wallet is n order to differentiate it from your full lightning balance on the node is a separate NWC connection string.
That's how we use it in ShockWallet, but it makes NWC redundant, the lightning address bridge server uses it to get the invoice from the node
Example implemented here:
GitHub.com/shocknet/bridgelet
NIP-46 support will be coming up!
I went into my settings to change the audio from default to the same exact speaker.

Lol went from one default to one
Also make sure it's not blocked by your browser in the settings. Those two things helped
Brave, but you need to enable WebRTC.
Yes. The browser I use is Kiwi, a chromium based browser that supports extensions and WebRTC which is essentjal for the audio part.
If you use that it should also be suitable for Hive Talk and Nostr Nests in addition to Corny Chat. I use it with the NOS2X extension for the nostr integrations.
I’m not sure, maybe @npub1yx6…7kza knows.

Things are proceeding much more slowly than I expected, but I suppose that’s how the council works.
I’ve been meaning to have my pastor over for lunch again for an update, among other chatting.
This is one of the major reasons my church is probably going to leave its denomination.
Thanks!
As I see AlbyHub only provides the lightning address, if you use their accounts, which means they can see the payments going through the address.
Is it possible to use your own domain?
With LnBits, you can also make lightning addresses, and you can even use your own domain for it.
Yeah, we watched the debate like that.
I’m probably moving that direction long term, but don’t do enough volume to warrant the 20k sats a month for the cloud the version
So I’m planning to self host hub and having it running all the time but don’t want to risk not being able to send receive if my internet goes down etc
Is this better or renting a server and pull up a core lightning on it in your opinion?
@npub1ry5…5a5f I was going to suggest AlbyHub Cloud as well
Yes, and Amber is dead simple to use for any Android client supporting NIP-55. It's only slightly more complicated for clients supporting NIP-46. And it's a great way to get your keys generated locally on your device. Amber also gives you a mnemonic backup seed phrase by default.
I still haven't figured out how to get it to work with Spring Browser, though...
Coracle.social in particular has great web of trust filtering built into it.

Ohhh I can sign this.. let's see if it works.
Yes, and I'm saying that a placing the #seedsigner with verified software in a tamper-evidant bag solves the issue. 👍
I think I'll have to DM the token to you
So then a tamper-evident bag could be a solution?
Absolutely 💯 true.

noStrudel is probably the most full featured of all the web apps, but yeah, some of the UI elements are annoying.
Coracle is probably my favorite for how it looks and how much control I have over my feed, but I miss being able to have a variety of reactions.
Another one to try out is satellite.earth
Right. While using nos2x as your signer, correct?
The above allow you to use Amber on your phone as your signer for a couple web apps on desktop.
It may also have to do with what wallet you are using for zapping, rather than anything to do with signer permissions.
Have an itch? Scratch it!
Yeah... I would love a Nostr browser for desktop... It'll happen eventually. We're still early.
Yes, it's useless for anything else, but for Nostr web apps it can't be beat.
Some web apps will allow you to sign in using nsec bunker, and Amber supports that too, but setting it up can be a little tricky. Zap.cooking does not support bunker sign in that I am aware of.
I've tried several signer extensions and they make it difficult to do anything even when I've granted permissions.
I'm already satisfied with Brave, my work and life are there. I'll try Spring. That sounds better for nostr-specific stuff. TY.

You can also get it on zap.store
We 100% need an app called Hellthreader. It’s like the evil version of Highlighter.
Is there a hellthread app that makes it look more like a group chat yet?
Yep! She's a noisy girl, whistling along on the highway.
Yeah, it's not just about your channel partners having a beefy channels, though. The liquidity in their channels has to be available in the direction you need it.
That’s what I keep hearing lol (large amounts via LN, routing etc) but it’s weird - sometimes it works completely fine. I guess something like Boltz to Phoenix would be two large and well-connected nodes/channels, rather than my own channels with various LSPs. Still getting used to this 🤔
You make a great point though — that technically speaking, the number of sats one can move over Lightning is very large, and it’s just undervalued in dollar terms today. Great way to conceptualize it 🤝
That mystery has been bugging me for a while, thank you sir!
That makes a lot of sense. Still very fast when zapping a non-coinos wallet (Strike), so all good now!
Absolutely! Took barely a second to register the zap on Amethyst!
We’re currently in Dante’s 2nd circle or level of hellthread. Arms and legs and torsos and reply-guy bots all jumbled together in a simmering stew. No badges.

We should never expect that relay owners won't censor content they don't like or that they consider spam.
We should expect that not all relay operators will agree and use multiple relays in order to post and to see the content we want.
I survived and all I got was a Badge 😆
Who’s creating the cashu mint? Can we all be key holders?
Also, every time we get back to this place, we create a fork, and the longest thread is the real hell thread. Everything else is just the alts.
ATTENTION K-MART SHOPPERS
Its more like a PSA

Wait is this the right time and place to check back in and provide proof of life? 😂
Loser talk. I did that shit at the relay level free of charge my my nostr homies
I agree with you that privacy and censorship resistance are not contradictory to each other. However I need to point out that keet/holepunch is *not* private
It is censorship resistant and does use encryption once a connection is established. However at its core its a holepunching library and the main way holepunching works is by broadcasting your IP address out to the wider internet so that other peers can attempt to connect to you
So, by design it exposes you IP address and by extension your location. Even though the contents of the channel is private. Its a lot like nostr DMs 😆
Neither is necessarily the case. Moreover, even if the client is doing absolutely everything locally, it doesn't mean I as the user have any idea how it works under the hood. There's just as much trust involved either way.
I see you in my feed plenty. 🙂
If people are following you, then you are in their web-of-trust, so you should still show up in their feed. If they aren't following you, then you probably didn't show up in their feed before, either.
What gets weeded out via web-of-trust is all the spam, unless someone who is already inside the web-of-trust follows a spammer. Unfortunately, that also means new legitimate users are weeded out, unless someone inside the web-of-trust can essentially "sponsor" them, by following them. It makes it so you have to already know someone on Nostr to effectively onboard.
No, I count it under the assumption that eventually everyone will want to have SOME amount of Bitcoin, even if there are other things they also want to hold.
Yeah, it's got a lot of options and can have multiple lists for different types of links you may want to promote.
The tools being built on Nostr are incredible...
Thank you amazing! I just set it up 🙏 great stuff 🧡
I think it was added in v1.7 so might just be on an old version of its missing.
I just saw the update on the GitHub and came here to tell the world and you beat me to it. Waiting for my node to backup before I install it but I'm sure its 🔥
https://github.com/horologger/albyhub-startos/actions
- frequency of post
-age of npub
- use chatgpt peronal tool
anything other can think
These days the ones npubs that had to ever got called 'fed girls' have been ackshually pretty great follows in around my nostr scrolls. Followid . 🐸🫡
"Amethyst has been doing this for 1.8 years at the scale of 200,000+ installs and NONE, literally NONE, of our users ever mentioned this as a problem"
Sure looks like someone was raising the alarm 5 months ago. I just searched "kind 7" and found this:
https://github.com/vitorpamplona/amethyst/issues/874
No one is arguing that #Amethyst needs to walk the user through every little combo action happening under the hood, but when a non-obvious action could carry legal jeapordy, then it should be at least disclosed if not presented with an opt out.
That’s an interesting site that I’ll have to checkout.
@npub1wyu…87ez has a Muted by tab on your profile page.
In a sense, but crafting events specifically to change the behavior of other clients just devolves into antagonism, it doesn't fix anything.
You can’t help but bypass the arbitrary decisions of client developers when their decisions conflict with yours. Otherwise an aristocracy is created.
I use the word hijacking because of what you said. "I always side with letting people know, even when their client doesn't want them to know." implies you're bypassing the design decisions of other clients on purpose.
This might rival the PB, Mayo, and Dill Pickle sandwich. Don’t knock it until you try it.
Yeah, I see both sides of it, but it's such a small thing to me. The only time it happens is if someone specifically reports a single note as spam or whatever. It would be better to just report/mute the whole npub and be done with it. The client devs can do what they want and I'll roll with it.
A warning sign isn't a heart. My event was the posting of a warning sign, for the benefit of others. Why did they change the content and intent of that event without asking me? I demand that these other clients change my content back to its original form before my personal and professional reputation is damaged.
Just spinning it to make a point.
I zapped you from the same setup.
Thanks, guys. Trying this out in Amethyst now
