Oddbean new post about login | logout I duno what's going on here is NIP01 broken? I am trying to tag myself by creating an event with a simple p tag. It just has the pubkey in it. But I am not seeing any notification in amethyst or nostrudel. I see these other clients doing ["p", "pubkeyhex", "", "mention"]. Is that mention thing required now? NDK is not adding that it's just doing a simple tag. #asknostrdevs #asknostr #nips
yeah afaik those extra labels are mandatory now
yes, i did not know what a marker was.. apparently its a string in the tag saying "reply" or "mention". nip01 doesnt mention this. also i didnt have nostrudel all notify turned on, only replies 🦍 whoops anyway, working now in both
yeah, understandable, search for mention and you get this: https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/8b75d7be7c45f5867ea6541095f7322fe7d77a26/08.md oh, deprecated then this: https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/8b75d7be7c45f5867ea6541095f7322fe7d77a26/27.md i'm gonna put an issue up that this should be collapsed into nip-01
or at least nip-19? what was the one about bech32?
or, idk, what the fuck :wtf:
@Laeserin i know you get it why nips need to end and there needs to be a wiki version
A lot of the open proposals are already implemented. A repo is too slow and centralized. We've kept our specs in the wiki. Otherwise, could take weeks or months to get a change through, and then the implementations eventually diverge from the specs. Or people have to decide who barely understand what we want. It's better to have slightly varying versions of the same spec linked to an npub than one centralized version that is perpetually out of date or has open PRs.
I think it is an attempt to pretend we have clear consensus in an open protocol. Which would sort of defeat the purpose of having an open protocol. More useful, would be effective wiki diff viewers, so we could easily see which specs differ, and how.
and pretense and vanity is rife amongst those who have push privilege on the nips repo
They've actually gotten more humble, but that doesn't change the fact that they have a needless bottleneck caused by choosing the wrong tech stack. It's like those admin offices in corporations, where you have to wait three weeks for them to sign off on your business trip, but you've already traveled and returned home. Superfluous Stempelarbeit.
noStrudel isn't too picky about the labels, but it will hide the notifications where you mention yourself or quote yourself
not mentioning myself.. 🤔
either its requiring extra fields in the tag or requiring content to have nostr:npub in it.. will try to see which..
@OpenSats give this girl @Laeserin a grant to run a wikimedia instance for nostr pls
More than just opensats, but absolutely
i think we really need a protocol spec librarian on the case, someone who is just watching all the inputs and keeping them organised and familiar
That's below my pay grade, tho. That needs to be a robot.
ok, fair enough but a spec wiki librarian needs to be pretty smart, and she definitely needs to be paid
