Uncomfortable Nostr Reality check:

I've tried to Nostr-pill all my YouTube friends (some of them have incredible amounts of subs), but none of them care about the censorship resistance or decentralization. Even though they know Nostr exists, they have no incentive yet to come here. Their audience would follow them anywhere, but they need the tools to create community communications.

It's a sad reality, but it all comes down to usability, UX, and ultimately the easiness of paying and signing up for the community. None of these can afford to have a sign-up problem or issues with someone being interested in joining the community/their platform. It needs to work flawlessly and feel and look professional. Some of them charge $3-5k a year just to get access to this closed space, and people are willing to pay for this.

Another big pain point is community management. All of these YouTubers create these platforms to help their audience have a safe place to communicate with each other and build their own tribe.

Nostr is capable of facilitating all of this - we're just not there yet. We need to somehow invest so much more into UX and design.

All of this will come when the time is due. So, knowing that all of this is possible and that ultimately, Nostr will be powering most of these via the social graph, is what makes me extremely bullish. But also, let's not get ahead of ourselves and expect them to come already.

The UX and features are not there yet for these people. I am more than happy to help anybody trying to make this a reality. I want nothing more than having these people join Nostr. But I also totally understand their pain points. So, if you're a dev or a company working on this, please feel free to reach out - I can tell you all the issues they told me. Or just tell me how to best do this; maybe I can jump on a podcast so the issues are open-sourced for the whole community to hear.

I think the best thing is a podcast so that the topics are open source and can be heard by the entire community as many times as necessary.

Creating is extremely hard. Criticizing is extremely easy.

What worked best for me was learning to disconnect the work from my personality. It hurts when you identify too much with what you create. But if you can see it from a distance, you might even thank the person criticizing—it helps you make something better next time.

I also remind myself: imagine if your best work was already behind you? The beauty of creating is knowing the best is always yet to come. Detach from ego, embrace feedback, and let every creation push you closer to that future masterpiece. nostr:note1y7pahcvdn4u2k2kh5yeyd49x0t6jc25pxe4dqxp9wuvewwahed7qukpa23

My confirmation bias on action:

“A scientific approach to entrepreneurial decision-making: Large-scale replication and extension”

“It shows that it is possible to teach entrepreneurs to operate like scientists, even within the context of relatively short interventions embedded in business support programs. It also shows that this approach leads to superior performance through a very precise path: better idea selection and focused pivots. In contexts in which these are desirable outcomes, therefore, the application of a scientific approach to entrepreneurial decision-making would be valuable.”

Pointing out the law, in practical terms, is of little use when it comes to managing the interests and realities of diverse families. In my experience, you have to listen to parents, whether they are loud or not, and consider the restrictions of the school itself, at the level of people and organization. With that you identify common ground and can generate changes. Not all achievements are for the direct benefit of one’s own children and some are reflected in the medium term, but you build community and traction to bigger changes.

Difficult, I know 😂


**Why would I ever go back to legacy media from #Nostr?**

It's a fair question, especially considering I deleted my other
accounts three years ago and stopped posting to Mastodon two years
ago. I lost tens of thousands of followers in the process, but
it's been my main mission for the past two years to #grownostr.

That said, it's valid to also have accounts on legacy social media
for other purposes like business, wide reach, etc. If you want to
have influence and connect with the masses, it's wise to run your
own website and meet people where they are.

Nostr is a beautiful and important thing, but it's still a work in
progress and growing. The user base here is still very small
comparatively. As a consultant, agent, or business owner, it would
be unreasonable in most cases to advise using #Nostr only unless
that business, person, or organization already had a mass following
willing to follow them over, was super niche, building a nostr
service or client, and/or was at great risk of being cancelled.

**Let's break down the key considerations:**

1. **Censorship Resistance vs. Privacy**
Nostr offers unparalleled censorship resistance. Users don't have
to worry about being "cancelled" or losing their account. However,
it's crucial to understand that Nostr is not private. Once a note
is posted to the relay network, it's public by default. You can
only request edits or deletions, but there's no guarantee relays
will comply. Privacy and anti-censorship are two different things,
and Nostr prioritizes the latter.

2. **Payment Integration**
Nostr has a payment platform built-in, allowing for sending and
receiving coin. This cuts out many middlemen and offers a way to
get paid directly for your content. It's a significant advantage
over legacy platforms that often take a cut or impose restrictions
on monetization.

3. **Audience Reach and Growth Stages**
For example, if you had a band, you'd want your music to reach the
most people possible. It's the same with most products and
services. It depends on where you enter the marketplace:
- **Start small:** Small gigs, small crowds, build your fanbase. Pay
for everything yourself.
- **Growth stage:** When you hit the ceiling as your popularity
grows, it might be valid to sign with a label. You'll lose some
creative control, but gain access to resources for recording,
marketing, and distribution.
- **Established success:** Found your own label or platform,
leveraging your established fanbase.

4. **Business Strategy Examples**
- **Yoga studio** = Advertise locally as a priority.
- **Yoga Author** = Advertise globally on the largest platforms for
the widest reach and influence.
- **Podcast** = Stay indie, get wide distribution. Be on Apple,
Google, wherever people get podcasts.

5. **Content Control and Persistence**
- **Nostr:** Content persists across relays, making it
censorship-resistant but also difficult to completely remove or
have absolute control over your content.
- **Legacy Social Media:** Allows content deletion, but platforms may
retain copies and can cancel your account at any time.
- **Personal Website:** Offers ultimate control with the right
hosting provider.

6. **Platform Diversification**
It's often wise to diversify your online presence:
- **Use Nostr** as your primary platform for authentic, uncensored
content.
- **Maintain legacy social media accounts** for wider reach and
audience engagement.
- **Center everything around your own website** for maximum control
and SEO benefits.

Look, Nostr's been my main gig for 2 years now, and if you want the
real, unfiltered me, this is where you'll find it. But let's be
real - there's a solid case for keeping a foot in both worlds.

**Here's the deal:**
- **Nostr** is your go-to for speaking your mind without fear of
censorship. Plus, that built-in #Bitcoin payment system? It's a
game-changer for creators.
- **Legacy platforms?** They've still got the numbers. If you're
trying to reach the masses, you can't ignore them completely.
- **Your own website** is your digital home base. It's where you call
the shots, no questions asked.

**The smart play?** Use each platform for what it's good at. Nostr for
the real talk and direct supporter engagement. Legacy social for
casting a wide net. Your website to tie it all together.

As Nostr grows, yeah, we'll probably shift more focus here. But for
now, especially if you're running a business or building a brand,
you've got to fish where the fish are, you know?

**Bottom line:** Nostr is where I live online. It's where I'm most me.
But I'm not blind to the reality of today's digital world.
Sometimes you've got to play the game to change the game. Just make
sure you're calling the plays, not the other way around.

We’ve got the better architecture for an open permissionless network than the alternatives. We need to make sure our users know how to join, find their people, and make using Nostr a habit. Otherwise people will be sucked back in to more centralized protocols. nostr:note1yptu6sgnpmqydwd2g94rl0x94fnn7m0hjyk3pmc4a3jccztpaexqhkwtcd

I am not replyguy but I have attacked nostr many times. For short periods, just to test stuff.

I am even currently attacking the idea that people can delete notes. I archive everything. Delete request denied.

Replyguys maybe obnoxious, how they didn't turn it off after we all acknowledged the issue and started working on it, that's not how a friendly nostrich would help nostr, but overall it is still a net positive imo

But seriously replyguy you can turn it off now, and then try again in a few months or something pls 🫂😊🐸


The other meme I was waiting for 💜


While everyone is getting nervous about spam, say hello to Chronicle!

https://github.com/dtonon/chronicle

Chronicle is Nostr personal relay, built on the Khatru framework, that stores complete conversations in which the owner has taken part and nothing else: pure signal.
This is possible since writing is limited to the threads in which the owner has partecipated (either as an original poster or with a reply/zap/reaction), and only to his trusted network (WoT), to protect against spam.

Chronicle fits well in the Outbox model, so you can use it as your read/write relay, and it also automatically becomes a space-efficient backup relay.

Try it out, and let me know if you find it useful and how it can be improved!


Introducing HAVEN - The Ultimate Relay For Sovereign Individuals
 https://i.nostr.build/eB85EFdyAIOQzeyU.png
HAVEN (High Availability Vault for Events on Nostr) is the next evolution of personal relays that take self sovereignty and decentralization to the next level.

https://github.com/bitvora/haven

It's a 4-in-1 Relay with:

 - Private Relay - for your drafts, ecash/nutsacks and anything else only you should be able to see

 - Chat Relay - for your web of trust to be able to send you DMs or to host private group chats.

 - Inbox Relay - for people to send reactions, zaps and likes to your notes. It also pulls these notes from other relays in real time. Protected by web of trust

 - Outbox Relay - for others to read from. This will contain all the notes that only you publish. Anyone can read, only you can write. Every note sent to your outbox relay will be BLASTR'd to other relays.

It also has many SMART relay features, including:

 - It imports all your old notes to your outbox relay, and imports any note you're tagged in to your inbox relay
 - It protects your relays using your Web of Trust
 - It automatically backs up all your notes to a 3rd party cloud (currently only AWS S3 support - more soon™)
 - It blastr's your notes to other relays

Amethyst users will love this relay because it gives you every relay you need to complete the relay configuration.

It is my hope with this relay that we can significantly increase the decentralization of Nostr by giving people an extremely powerful and reliable personal relay that gives them control over the longevity and privacy of their notes. With more people running personal relays, clients should be more inclined to implement the outbox/inbox model.

You can see HAVEN in action on my personal relay:

 - wss://relay.utxo.one/outbox
 - wss://relay.utxo.one/inbox
 - wss://relay.utxo.one/chat
 - wss://relay.utxo.one/private

I am extremely excited about this release and can't wait to see what the nostriches think of it!

Good morning, Dan! 🌻💜


people who say they are just trying to help by disprupting the network are insanely annoying. it's like shitting on your lawn and saying you should have better defenses against it. yeah we know, we also have a million other things we also have to do to retain users. thanks for overloading already stressed dev resources.


Good morning, Stu 🌻
Thank you! 💜


Good morning, Mark 🌻💜🫂


Can people stop doing this shit please?!

If you want to “help the network” get in touch with a dev and organize a test with their collaboration.

Indiscriminately carpet bombing the network isn’t helpful.

Attacking Nostr "because you can" is like pouring red wine on a wedding dress simply because you’re able to do so. Technically, you might have the ability to take such an action, but that doesn't justify it. In both cases, the act causes harm to something others care about, with no constructive outcome.

The wedding dress is a symbol of an important event, just as Nostr is a platform that a community has built up and invested in. Ruining the dress—or in Nostr’s case, disrupting the user base and causing people to leave—serves no purpose other than to destroy the hard work and joy of others.

The argument "because I can" overlooks responsibility. Just because one has the ability doesn’t mean it’s right to use it in destructive ways.


Good morning! 🌻💜🫂
Have a fruitful week everyone ✌


Goodnight ✨💜


I appreciate that you've come out. And I also appreciate that you were considerate. enough to only target devs.

However no dev ( myself included ) likes having their app exploited. Especially when they know it's broken. So you saying that the spam was worth it to start a discussion feels like gas lighting. because many of us already knew that spam was going to be an issue

All that side I will swallow my pride and admit that it did quicken the discussion of how nostr clients can deal with spam. And did force me to reconsider some things in my client


Goodnight ✨💜🫂

The Trial - 'Le procès' (1962)
Director: Orson Welles

https://image.nostr.build/bfdb166853c8f1bbf9f93d29e0efa6d52e451db5c808e27abf11e068b8497fb6.jpg

The Trial (French: Le Procès) is a 1962 drama film written and directed by Orson Welles, based on the 1925 posthumously published novel of the same name by Franz Kafka. Welles stated immediately after completing the film: "The Trial is the best film I have ever made"

Anthony Perkins stars as Josef K., a bureaucrat who is accused of a never-specified crime, and Jeanne Moreau, Romy Schneider and Elsa Martinelli play women who become involved in various ways in Josef's trial and life. Welles plays the Advocate, Josef's lawyer and the film's principal antagonist.

“The only barrier that you would not join Nostr right now is because the other platforms have more users and they can use that as leverage today. But that's not going to be the case in many years… those who are starting to get their followers already on Nostr are taking a significant advantage over everybody else because they're going to grow faster. And we all know how network effects happen. It just so happens that on Nostr, the network effects themselves are owned by the creator.” - nostr:npub1gcxzte5zlkncx26j68ez60fzkvtkm9e0vrwdcvsjakxf9mu9qewqlfnj5z on nostr:npub10qrssqjsydd38j8mv7h27dq0ynpns3djgu88mhr7cr2qcqrgyezspkxqj8

Nostr is being pushed as 'impossible to censor,' but that’s a stretch. It started as 'censorship-resistant,' which was honest. Now it’s verging on dishonesty and could mislead people—activists, for example—into thinking it’s like a cypherpunk project that protects them, when it doesn’t. Assange protected his sources and paid for it; with Nostr, the activists could end up paying the price.

On the technical side, this narrative is harmful too. Developers hesitate on basic spam-blocking to avoid being seen as anti-free speech, leading to degraded feeds and frustrated users. Censorship resistance shouldn't be a psy-op we play on ourselves for the benefit of spammers. Nostr improves on the status quo by preventing platform lock-in and making it harder to cancel legit users, and that’s already a valuable step forward.

WoT WoT WoT, but how do you have WoT on a relay? The only way is to seed it with a specific user's profile, so it has to have an "authority" anyway.

The only other way is to implement a Social Credit system for pubkeys, where pubkeys are only allowed to do certain things after they have passed the initial trials, over a period of time. Honestly this seems like a good solution to me, but I think people hate this idea?

The problem is that people on Nostr want to have their cake and eat it too. They want absolute freedom to be totally anonymous, ephemeral identity, to see and be seen by everyone. Yet they simultaneously don't want to be spammed by anonymous random accounts. I believe this is the true internal conflict that ReplyGuy exposes.

To Know the Dark

To go in the dark with a light is to know the light.
To know the dark, go dark. Go without sight,
and find that the dark, too, blooms and sings,
and is traveled by dark feet and dark wings.

— Wendell Berry, Farming: A Hand Book, 1970 https://image.nostr.build/486fdcbcf9e8a3457d50a31dd29d5cb118401ca8a831aff9a728c8cf3d17e3ab.jpg https://image.nostr.build/51c6643b770a5f43b1142a04c954ed1527211f48c321b9e7b1aeff56508fa9a2.jpg

Helping, fixing and serving represent three different ways of seeing life.
When you help, you see life as weak.
When you fix, you see life as broken.
When you serve, you see life as whole.
Fixing and helping may be the work of the ego, and service the work of the soul.

Cat in an Empty Apartment

Die—you can’t do that to a cat.
Since what can a cat do
in an empty apartment?
Climb the walls?
Rub up against the furniture?
Nothing seems different here
but nothing is the same.
Nothing’s been moved
but there’s more space.
And at nighttime no lamps are lit.

Footsteps on the staircase,
but they’re new ones.
The hand that puts fish on the saucer
has changed, too.

Something doesn’t start
at its usual time.
Something doesn’t happen
as it should.
Someone was always, always here,
then suddenly disappeared
and stubbornly stays disappeared.

Every closet’s been examined.
Every shelf has been explored.
Excavations under the carpet turned up nothing.
A commandment was even broken:
papers scattered everywhere.
What remains to be done.
Just sleep and wait.

Just wait till he turns up,
just let him show his face.
Will he ever get a lesson
on what not to do to a cat.
Sidle toward him
as if unwilling
and ever so slow
on visibly offended paws,
and no leaps or squeals at least to start.

By Wisława Szymborska, translated from the Polish by Stanisław Barańczak and Clare Cavanagh

Non-state conflicts decreased compared to previous years. In 2023, 75 non-state conflicts were recorded resulting in approximately 21,000 battle-related deaths.

#Tao Te Ching: Chapter 31

Weapons are the tools of violence;
all decent men detest them.

Weapons are the tools of fear;
a decent man will avoid them
except in the direst necessity
and, if compelled, will use them
only with the utmost restraint.
Peace is his highest value.
If the peace has been shattered,
how can he be content?
His enemies are not demons,
but human beings like himself.
He doesn't wish them personal harm.
Nor does he rejoice in victory.
How could he rejoice in victory
and delight in the slaughter of men?

He enters a battle gravely,
with sorrow and with great compassion,
as if he were attending a funeral.

Hello!
I'm fine, thanks for asking. Yesterday during the day I had some very bad news and I was forced to make decisions that I had thought to postpone until the end of the year or hopefully later. But writing and reflecting I realized that I was wrong. Sentimentality is sometimes confused with compassion and ends up being counterproductive.


Congratulations!! 🙌

One Art
By Elizabeth Bishop

The art of losing isn’t hard to master;
so many things seem filled with the intent
to be lost that their loss is no disaster.

Lose something every day. Accept the fluster
of lost door keys, the hour badly spent.
The art of losing isn’t hard to master.

Then practice losing farther, losing faster:
places, and names, and where it was you meant
to travel. None of these will bring disaster.

I lost my mother’s watch. And look! my last, or
next-to-last, of three loved houses went.
The art of losing isn’t hard to master.

I lost two cities, lovely ones. And, vaster,
some realms I owned, two rivers, a continent.
I miss them, but it wasn’t a disaster.

—Even losing you (the joking voice, a gesture
I love) I shan’t have lied. It’s evident
the art of losing’s not too hard to master
though it may look like (Write it!) like disaster.

Norway has incredible amounts of excess  renewable energy. Nonetheless new regulations want to force bitcoin mining out of the country, because of the alleged high CO2 consumption.

Which is silly in two ways as below result shows:
first it increases the cost of green energy for residents and secondly it drives mining to other places which might use more fossil fuels and increase CO2 emissions.

A lose lose for Norway.

Chess teaches foresight, by having to plan ahead; vigilance, by having to keep watch over the whole chess board; caution, by having to restrain ourselves from making hasty moves; and finally, we learn from chess the greatest maxim in life - that even when everything seems to be going badly for us we should not lose heart, but always hoping for a change for the better, steadfastly continue searching for the solutions to our problems.

Something I've recently discovered is that I hate doing literary criticism. I know how hard it is to write well and I appreciate it when I get it, but I worry too much that my lack of experience will make me trespassing the fine line between being sufficiently stimulating and downright destructive. The last one I did was described as too mild. Facts and numbers are so much easy to deal with. I guess I’m on the rigth learning path.

Are you thinking deep fake like i.e. a political cartoon?


Hotels too. First grade price discrimination.


Picture this:
1. You type on Google "laptop won't turn on"
2. Google now knows you have a broken laptop and can estimate how desperate you are to fix it.
3. Because it knows how desperate you are, it can increase shop prices proportionally.

You are going to pay the maximum they get you to pay.

That's algorithmic pricing.

The more companies know about you, the more they can predict and sell how desperate you are to other stores out there.

An internet-connected car knows much more about you than you realize. A smart TV also knows what you like. Your Alexa knows if there is a problem in the home.

Privacy is much more than just sensitive data.

It's about not giving leverage away.

Because algorithms will use it against you.

Be safe out there.

#Tao Te Ching: Chapter 27

A good traveler has no fixed plans
and is not intent upon arriving.
A good artist lets his intuition
lead him wherever it wants.
A good scientist has freed himself of concepts
and keeps his mind open to what is.

Thus the Master is available to all people
and doesn't reject anyone.
He is ready to use all situations
and doesn't waste anything.
This is called embodying the light.

What is a good man but a bad man's teacher?
What is a bad man but a good man's job?
If you don't understand this, you will get lost,
however intelligent you are.
It is the great secret.

Aaron Swartz would have loved nostr.

Effectively the culmination of his life’s work.

1999: At the age of 12, he co-authored the RSS 1.0 specification, which is a format for syndicating web content.

2000: Swartz became a member of the Creative Commons organization, which aims to expand the range of creative works available for others to build upon legally.

2002: He founded the Infogami platform, which later merged with Reddit.

2005: Swartz joined Reddit as a co-founder after a merger with Infogami.

2006: He left Reddit and began working on various projects, including the development of the web application framework, "Open Library," which aimed to create a web page for every book ever published.

2008: Swartz was involved in the development of the "Demand Progress" organization, which focused on issues related to internet freedom and government transparency.

 2010: He played a significant role in the campaign against the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and the Protect IP Act (PIPA), advocating for internet freedom. He also developed a tool that allowed users to download large amounts of data from PACER  (Public Access to Court Electronic Records), which was typically behind a paywall.

 2011: Swartz was arrested for downloading a large number of academic journal articles from JSTOR with the intent to distribute them freely.  The U.S. Attorney's Office in Massachusetts pursued the case against Swartz, and he faced the possibility of severe penalties, including up to 35 years in prison.

 2012: On January 11, Aaron Swartz tragically passed away at the age of 26. He allegedly took his own life due to the pressure of government prosecution.

## Progress this week

I was told recently that my update walls of text are too much. So, I'll try to keep things concise this week. 😅

This week has been all about building the reference implementation, which is quickly becoming a full-fledged client instead of just a reference implementation. I've not quite gotten to the MLS portion of the client yet but it does already support multiple accounts (including ephemeral accounts) and loads legacy (NIP-04) chats and full contact lists. So far, I've not implemented NIP-104 so there's not yet any updates to the MLS spec or other dependencies.

If you've got experience with using messengers in hostile environments (authoritarian regimes, you've been de-platformed, etc.) please get in touch. I'd love to hear more about what you'd like to see in a communication tool.

In the meantime, I'll be over here in the corner coding with my headphones on. 👨💻

Onward and Upwards!

The Man Who Can't Be Moved

That’s a true


We don’t need a Nostr marketing team

We do need a Nostr growth team.

nostr:npub1kuy0wwf0tzzqvgfv8zpw0vaupkds3430jhapwrgfjyn7ecnhpe0qj9kdj8  just published a good essay discussing whether Nostr needs a marketing team. I believe the answer is yes—but not marketing in the same way cryptocurrency projects have typically approached it.

https://www.curiousdk.com/p/6885aeab-251e-412b-bbba-1a0b09896558

We don’t need people running around buying ads. While having booths at conferences is beneficial for a community-driven project, I'm skeptical about the value of billboards or sponsoring athletes as ways to promote Nostr. It’s fun, sure, but it mostly reaches people who are already aware of it.

What we really need is a focused initiative to grow Nostr—distinct from the fantastic teams already building Nostr itself. In a typical company, this would be the Growth Team. They’d focus on how people discover and learn about Nostr, the path they take to join, how they choose their app, what their experience is when signing up, whether they find engaging content, and how to ensure they stick around and invite others. This is not to dismiss the great work OpenSats and HRF are doing, but a growth team is something distinct.

Each app can handle some of this, and that's working to an extent. But Nostr is more than just a collection of apps using shared code. It’s a network that becomes more valuable with every new app built on Nostr. For example, when a user joins Primal, it enhances the experience for Amethyst users, but it also becomes much more interesting for someone using YakiHonne or Zap.streams.

So, we need people focused on cultivating the Nostr ecosystem. This isn’t marketing in the traditional sense, like buying ads, but more of a Nostr Community Growth Team. We need people who can work with creators and community founders to help them get started on Nostr. There’s a lot to grasp, and some hand-holding will be necessary.

We also need better internal Nostr news—something like nostr:npub19mduaf5569jx9xz555jcx3v06mvktvtpu0zgk47n4lcpjsz43zzqhj6vzk  but aimed at two different audiences. First, for users, fans, and developers on Nostr: how do you keep track of all the projects and what's happening? There’s so much going on that it’s hard to follow. The second is external: we’re doing tons of incredible stuff, and we should be building excitement about Nostr by showcasing these amazing projects and content to the wider world.

The team at nostr:npub1w9wuqc3s6lr25c4sgj52werj3tngvt43qrccqrher4wvn7tjm32s2ck403  does cover Nostr, which is awesome, but their focus is on multiple social media protocols. Journalists write when they feel there's news to break, and we haven’t been doing a great job feeding stories to them. We can improve on this. One initiative coming out of Nostriga is better coordination on getting Nostr folks on podcasts, especially beyond the Bitcoin bubble where most people have heard of Nostr.

At Nostriga, I talked to a lot of people about how Nostr keeps being framed as an alt-right protocol in the media. That’s simply not true, but we need to work on changing that narrative. Nostr is for everybody, how Nostr is framed does matter. People don’t join a social app because of its functionality, they join because of the other people who are already on the app. Projects like Trustroots.io, Causes.com, and Protest.net will help showcase a different side of Nostr and build new communities beyond our Bitcoin-focused core.

Nostr has already grown in new languages and communities, thanks to creators sharing about it on centralized platforms. We saw this with the Thai community—it’s fantastic. Let’s develop a program to support these creators. We’ve been discussing with nostr:npub13qrrw2h4z52m7jh0spefrwtysl4psfkfv6j4j672se5hkhvtyw7qu0almy  how she wants a space to onboard her fans into a community together. There’s a lot of promise in Ditto, which I’m excited about—I’ve set up an instance at social.protest.net. What if we helped each of these creators build their own communities on Nostr? From that initial onboarding, their community would be able to connect across all Nostr apps.

This isn’t exactly traditional marketing—it’s more like cultivating and nurturing a healthy Nostr ecosystem.

If we make it easy for communities to create their own spaces on Nostr, we can grow organically in countless directions. Every new user will feel ownership and be inspired to bring more people along. To achieve that growth, we need to lay the groundwork. We’ve got the apps, but we need to work with the people. After all, we’re building social software, and both the technology and the people are equally important.

Testing an old idea: NFC-based transient accounts: accounts that log off as soon as the app goes to the background, deleting all traces of the account from the phone.

It looks like this in debugging speeds: https://video.nostr.build/ef4274d150303fd28f5e7b6b02a7b0102176263dfb1b491969a0caab6b61e6ad.mp4

If you are an activist and if your phone is confiscated, they will never find anything on the phone. Not even your public key.

Walk around with Amethyst installed and an NFC tag hidden in your clothing. When you need to use Amethyst, tap the tag, insert your password and login. Lock the screen to delete everything.

The NFC has a NIP-49 password-encrypted nsec. If you need, destroy and dispose the NFC tag.

WE CAN ALL DO BETTER.

LETS DO BETTER.


Just said “nothing stops this train” on Fox Business live. ;)


On Sept 11th 1973, the democratically elected president of Chile Salvador Allende was overthrown in a CIA back coup to install Augusto Pinochet's military regime that would go on to kill, torture, and imprison tens of thousands of opposition members – including the musician Victor Jara, who was rounded up in a soccer stadium and killed by 44 bullets in one of many of Pinochet's extrajudicial executions.

If the world was a just place, the US would be on every terrorist list that exists on earth. RIP Victor Jara

 nostr:npub10pensatlcfwktnvjjw2dtem38n6rvw8g6fv73h84cuacxn4c28eqyfn34f is a unpaid 100% passthrough volunteer organization.

The whole team genuinely cares about the mission.

We have extremely very diverse opinions and backgrounds and very limited operational resources for the volume of applications.

No application is decided by a single person. We also have committee of also volunteer peers who also opine and vote. Once the committee votes with soft ACKs. We have a minimum of 5 positive votes by the board for approval policy.

Everyone and their applications are considered! But we are not going to fund everything. After careful volunteer time is used for reviews a vote is made.

There are many orgs with different methods.

No one is entitled to be funded. Pro tip, be graceful. Aside from being extremely unprofessional to shit on OpenSats in public, you are shitting on unpaid ppl who are trying to do their best and are not perfect. We simply don't have the time and resources (and shouldn't waste money) on giving each and everyone a very detailed feedback. we are talking about hundreds of applications and a dozen ppl here.

Criticism is very much always welcomed and encouraged. We need to know what we can do better.

If you truly care about improving, send a fucking EMAIL. Bitching in public only hurts the ppl who are doing the work.

The FOSS funding will continue until freedom improves ✌

Good morning 🌻


If I understand you correctly, you're talking about writing with the reader in mind (I haven't seen the video yet). Personally, in fiction I think it's hard to do without betraying yourself a little. I write because I want to say something that's important to me and writing it is a way of getting it out. I only have the reader in mind when editing. Sometimes my mind wanders to a story that makes sense to me, but not necessarily to the reader. Regarding what I read, I don't have preferences either in the genre of the authors or in that of the characters. Yes, in the story. Btw, the closest I come to a romantic novel is with Jane Austen and the Bronte sisters.

if you're running a WoT (Web-of-Trust) relay, please let me know. I'd like to compile a list.

wss://wot.utxo.one -  nostr:npub1utx00neqgqln72j22kej3ux7803c2k986henvvha4thuwfkper4s7r50e8

wss://wot.sovbit.host -  nostr:npub1gnwpctdec0aa00hfy4lvadftu08ccs9677mr73h9ddv2zvw8fu9smmerrq

What's a Web-of-Trust relay?

It's a type of relay that anyone can read from, but only certain people can write to. If the owner follows you or one of the people that the owner follows, follows you, then you're considered inside their Web-of-Trust. You can then write to this relay!

Example:

I follow  nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m but I do not follow @billybob.  nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m however does follow @billybob. Therefore, @billybob is allowed to write to my WoT relay.

Even if you're not inside a WoT, you can still use these relays for reading Nostr content. This relay software also fetches and archives content from people inside the WoT automatically. This means users inside the WoT don't even need to choose these relays and write to them for their content to be available on these relays. And then readers can enjoy this content with little to no spam. Cool.


For me Twitter was more than that. I learned so much there.

We're still working out the details but are planning to start a closed beta test soon. So if you're interested in building something or have questions, please get in touch!

John Whitney, Anthology (1961-75)
& John Whitney- A Personal Search For the Complementarity of Music and Visual Art (1992)

John Hales Whitney Sr. (April 8, 1917 – September 22, 1995) was an American animator, composer and inventor, widely considered to be one of the pioneers of computer animation.

During the 1950s, Whitney used his mechanical animation techniques to create sequences for television programs and commercials. In 1952, he directed engineering films on guided missile projects. One of his most famous works from this period were the animated title and dream sequences from Alfred Hitchcock's 1958 film Vertigo, which he collaborated on with the graphic designer Saul Bass.

The analog computer Whitney used to create his most famous animations was built in the late 1950s by converting the mechanism of a World War II M-5 antiaircraft gun director. Later, Whitney would augment the mechanism with an M-7 mechanism, creating a twelve-foot-high machine. Design templates were placed on three different layers of rotating tables and photographed by multiple-axis rotating cameras. The color was added during optical printing.

This is really good stuff, we need to take this opportunity to build better resilience in to the Nostr network. I think the paid relays aren’t going to be enough, they make Nostr work for existing users but not new ones. I think WOT are more accessible, but we need something which works for the new users.

Maybe it’s new user follow lists like Bluesky starter packs + WOT relays…

So much of our discussion about trust, safety, and governance of Nostr is related to content and political speech. But there’s so many more issues we’re going to face and we need to think about. If you care about this stuff, read this paper: https://tsjournal.org/index.php/jots/article/view/171

ReplyGuy spam sucks, however it's allowing for the emergence of a stronger and more robust Nostr. If we have a wide open communication protocol, that means that anyone and everyone can participate if they choose to do so. ReplyGuy is nothing. Trust me. It's so insignificant compared to what's coming in the future. ReplyGuy is a wake-up call to developers, but also to users too. None of us should be complacent when we need to be vigilant with our social communication. This is a mere scrimmage for what's coming down the road. Use this time to build solutions. Use this practice game to fine tune your relays.

You can choose paid relays or choose smaller community relays, such as those built on WoT or other metrics.

We have a lot of choices for paid relays. Maybe you'll use nostr:nprofile1qqsrmpp2lmx4u2fl9zmxy7fnwp9rlwxwz5a2j8tep2c376n494z2gtgpzamhxue69uhkxun9v968ytnwdaehgu3wwa5kuegprpmhxue69uhhwetvvdhk6efwdehhxarj9emkjmn9qyt8wumn8ghj76twvfhhstnwdaehgu3wwa5kueg6jsgtg's wss://nostr.wine or nostr:nprofile1qqs99d9qw67th0wr5xh05de4s9k0wjvnkxudkgptq8yg83vtulad30gpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezumrpdejqz9rhwden5te0wfjkccte9ejxzmt4wvhxjmcprpmhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wdmksetjv5hxxmmd8wgv5w's wss://nostr.land as your paid relays.

What are WoT relays? These are a semi-new concept. They can be invite only or they can be constructed via a person's personal Web-of-Trust follow list.

For example: You use use wss://pyramid.fiatjaf.com by nostr:nprofile1qqsrhuxx8l9ex335q7he0f09aej04zpazpl0ne2cgukyawd24mayt8gprfmhxue69uhhq7tjv9kkjepwve5kzar2v9nzucm0d5hszxmhwden5te0wfjkccte9emk2um5v4exucn5vvhxxmmd9us2xuyp if you are invited by an existing user.  Additionally, you can use wss://wot.utxo.one or wss://nostrelites.org if you're in the Web-of-Trust of either nostr:nprofile1qqsw9n8heusyq0el9f99tveg7r0rhcu9tznatuekxt764m78ymqu36cpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuat50phjummwv5hszymhwden5te0wahhgtn4w3ux7tn0dejj7znxpeu or myself. (Meaning one of us follows you or one of the people we follow follows you, going one layer deep in our social connection.)

More WoT relays will pop-up or already do exist.

As the outbox model grows and gains popularity, smaller community relays will become the normal way that people use Nostr the most, IMO.

If we want Nostr to truly protect privacy and resist censorship—like when X faced a government ban—we need to stop relying on relays with known IPs or domain names.

We need encrypted traffic between clients and servers by default. That means Tor (and networks like I2P and Nym) should just work right out of the box, ideally without leaving the mixnet where traffic could be exposed at the exit node.

💡 A lot of relay operators are already running Tor onion services, which is awesome—but we need to make them easier to discover and use. If a public relay becomes unavailable, we should be able to switch to the Onion service version seamlessly.

What do we need to do to make this happen? First, it’s about getting Nostr relay software to publish the Onion address when it’s set up. Then, it’s about getting clients to handle alternative transports like Tor or I2P natively, letting users choose between IP (TCP/IP), Tor, or other options.

We could also explore mapping DNS records to onion addresses or including the info in HTTP headers. But maybe the most straightforward approach is extending NIP-11 to include alternate transport details so that everything's baked into the protocol.

What do you all think? How can we push this forward? Let’s brainstorm and figure out the best way to support these privacy-preserving networks and keep Nostr resilient. I think we need Tor support in native clients where users can turn it on with a single click. Or maybe even have it attempt Tor as a fallback when the normal way of connecting fails.
