Wow, is this what happened while I was gone from Nostr??
Holy shit welcome back bro!! Been a minute!! 🫂 we recently had a spam attack of reply bots and utxo’s new WoT relays haven’t been fazed by the spam
Yeah, man! I'm back! I had to take some time off because I was turning Bitcoin into an idol (referring to the Bible verse that there shall be no idols before God). I should be better now that I'm not so obsessed. Dang, will need to look into WoT after I re-setup all my Bitcoin stuff.
I understand man all good you’re certainly not the only one to struggle with that 🫂 Bitcoin seems to be a major religious experience to everyone who fully grasps it, I’d love to hear from people’s experiences navigating this, from all religious background, would be cool to maybe have a nests one day discussing this topic.
Alsooo! Really happy you’re back!! 🫂 I’d love to fill you in on what I remember from these past couple months that you’ve missed! Will prob do a frog talk this weekend!
Sweet! Will love to listen in! Do you know when (UTC time zone) you'll do it?
not yet, still planning it but I’ll keep you posted!
Most definitely. I've had a religious upbringing, but when I saw a Bible in a Year podcast on @fountain_app, I could actually understand a lot more of why things are the way they are in the world. It's almost like it's a technical manual for Humanity.
That’s awesome! & definitely I’d also refer to them as manuals, to help guide us our paths!
Web of Trust relays WITHOUT a smart algo … are just private parties waiting to be crashed. https://image.nostr.build/16336a2779d805930d22c93fcd6eb87532e3e2640f6afec37d763ffc3ed2cca2.jpg https://image.nostr.build/f350c13a8a44ce8277dfd9dea4a88a415f515ac94a45f76825e5b938b5fbfbcd.jpg
1)what
Prolific following is a common practice on Nostr, as a way to increase the diversity of one’s “algo free” feed. But the more prolific followers I follow, the more likely it is that one or more of these “follows follows”are gonna be a bot or bad actor … or generally someone I just don’t want in my own feed. Blocking helps. Reports help. Other stuff helps, but (so far) these WoT relays do not calculate for these to help prune my “follows follows”. Nostr needs smarter webs of trust, using opensource algos that people can freely choose from.
But that’s literally a fix that’s already being worked on, can’t expect it all to be built in a day.
Yup. New project: My Grapevine https://grapevine.my
I was actually talking about a fix utxo is making, heard about it from Derek yesterday 🫡
