2 things:
1) Profanity AND hateful speech, or are those misguidedly coupled together as 1 flag? I wouldn't consider sarcasm and profanity the same category as hate speech against someone's intrinsic quality or group membership. I only spoke on their actions / provided communication.

It's equivalent in language math to "you (the data analysis challenged commenter) are saying delusional things". If that would not be flagged as hate speech then this shouldn't either.
The main functional issue would be I can see someone wanting profanity (as there is no ethical issue with it) shown but to hide hate speech.

2) Regardless I'm not sure if this post is the product of utilizing moderation features of a client I can't use on Android, or it's being flagged for removal on a relay or something. Regardless I'd be happy to just remove it if that's actually what you want. I can't tell. Just say the word if that's your desire

so do did you inject the snake oil *directly* into your dick? it's supposed to be a lube, but damn I can only imagine how strong your pretend high is right now.


Posted a relevant thought last month. I'd like to see nostr as a repo source and user hub for discovering, adding, syncing/managing RSS feeds, but the app would display RSS feeds directly rather than make use profiles to echo them. The profiles seem like needless over engineering to an already decentralized protocol when RSS and nostr feeds could live side by side. I think it might be easier to get a nostr app to add RSS reading and managing as a feature than getting a popular app to add nostr, but i'd love to be wrong. Yet another area where making nostr synonymous with Bitcoin community first makes it difficult building bridges with the wider general community.

nostr:nevent1qqsy3kp83kxj8vn04s6jvtyup3eka7evdwgqme9j3jsrachwhptknqgpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsyg9wmk8k3r54l9fnzw02wputts86uuu3dumvu2ddvmnvj0vzjm83hcpsgqqqqqqspte7sx


Would that be more of a mandate/standard than a technical issue? Either way yeah very useful.

Thanks so much for taking time to explain.

It was mediocre but the actor who played? Andy did a fantastic job


Thanks for your insight. To me it sounds like it's just fully manual kind of like keep receipts unless the exchange you buy from provides you with what you need. If I had random small buys 2-10 dollars every day,  20 years later,  things shifting around here and there, I can't imagine the ridiculous task of calculating the gains properly.   Or even accessing the info to do that.


*Note: This is not some fancy writing piece. this is just brain farting that I thought it was too long for a regular post.*

Alex Gleason is always doing a lot of crazy interesting work.  [Ditto](https://soapbox.pub/ditto/) is a step in the right direction for an alternate type of relay ecosystem that runs alongside the standard globally focused community we all know.

While #Ditto is awesome, what I'd really like to see something similar, but more focused on a multi-community experience that simultaneously makes each community's viewing experience focused only on that community's content.  Just for fun, to write down some ideas, below are the 2 big changes that I think would make ditto the ultimate "communities" system that could trounce Reddit.

### 1. Single relay experience on the domain:
By default, I think community sites should only show content from the built in relay (or a relay group for redundancy).  Currently on ditto.pub, when you first sign in, it feels a lot like any other web nostr client. The default home just shows follows I have from other relays instead of being thrown into the community content. You have to click the local feed, to filter the community's content, but it's limited to people who registered a NIP-05 for that domain.  I think that it would be great if you could contribute with any NIP-05 and it counts as community content. That could be accomplished by equate community content to content posted on the relay. There are countless apps to get a feed of your relays, so it doesn't benefit me to see it on a communty's domain.

### 2. Sister client giving multi-community aggregation experience:
I think communities should like pokemon and you grab the ones to identify with.  Create a set of web and mobile app clients that manage viewing and switching single relays at a time.  The client experience would be like reddit where you navigate ditto communities like subreddits.  If a community is a pokemon, then this is the pokedex?
OK I actually don't know shit about pokemon so that might not be the slam dunk I thought it was. Whoops.

### Ideas / more particulars
* To see a community's content, you add a community relay subscribing to subreddit, or simply visit the domain.
* Another great feature would be customizing the relays that make up your home feed, and making other named combo-feeds  (especially awesome if you are a part of 2 rival communities who's focus generally overlap)
* The client would use more globally used relays to handle settings like your list followed ditto communities, etc (configurable)
* Similarly, to help users find communities, ditto servers can optionally publish their relay info to a list on a "discovery" relay. Main popular discovery relays would be set by default (where communities publish discovery info to), but could be configured to other relays (if people wanted to set up custom curation relays or something.)
* Registering a domain handle (NIP-05) at the community domain can be more focused on people with relay moderation roles, or just people who really for some reason want that community to be their whole identity (i don't personally get that, which is why mastodon is not for me)
* Communities could work independently of the aggregator app(s) If people just wanted to visit the domain to post (from any NIP-05)

Ditto is cool. I'd love to see a multi-community aggregator client/ecosystem.

Yeah I'm just really trying figure what even would be the method to calculate the right amount of you have like 40 sources, to voluntarily report. Are there apps that can calculate just based on the addresses in your wallets, or are you expected to keep track of every little tiny thing like I obviously wouldn't?

BUT, more in line with your comments, while I have you on the line: You mentioned it's preferable not to be on an exchange. Do you mean not stored there or not bought there? The former I get, but if you meant not bought there, what are the alternatives beyond mining?


So this is useful for dodging taxes. Also interesting to know. However,let's say in my case... honestly it just would be my case if I had a bunch of money, that I would be trying to pay taxes not dodge them.


Also if you cash out just a little bit, is it always the oldest money you had that is converted fiat? If not how would you know how long it existed?


I actually have a #Bitcoin question that I think most of you can answer, so it's finally advantageous to be here for something other than nostr dev updates.

If a person does recurring btc buys from a exchange, say every fucking day even, then also maybe adds here and there from gifts, zaps, etc. and then 50 years later cashes out, how tf would you calculate the cap gains based on how long you've had every little segment of money from a ton of sources? Does the currency (or rather the ledger location information?) itself hold all that historical buy/transfer date information and an app/wallet can just calculate all of it in an automated way?


Btw this is just a technical question. I don't have strong opinions on Bitcoin, so I'm not like advocating for (or shaming) using Bitcoin as just a way to gain more fiat. I'm just curious on the tools to make calculating such a thing easy for a regular person.


Btw this is just a technical question. I'm not a huge Bitcoin maxi and didn't have strong opinions, so I'm not like advocating for using Bitcoin as just a way to gain more fiat. I'm just curious on the tools to make calculating such a thing easy for a regular person.

Into diy music/community, linux/foss software.  Enjoy animation/storytelling, photography, music, coding, etc. (Making shit).  Don't personally enjoy global view social media in general, but I'm interested in the protocol concepts and development, especially other use cases than Twitter clone stuff.


OK quick update. I found that setting which is cool. It actually rounds the content inside of the window container. However I found that the firefox about:config flag that enabled round bottom corners also works in floorp so I will daily drive it for a while at least. For some reason i assumed it used too much of its' own GUI to work with that flag.  Thanks for the recommendation.


Random thing I'd like: An #RSS client that uses #NOSTR or a #DVM as the decentralized RSS search source, but the reader itself showed RSS feed directly vs creating Nostr profiles.  I just feel RSS is decentralized in concept enough not to need that extra middle man over-engineering, but what it lacks is a decentralized source for ease of use in setting up feeds and discovery for users.  Nostr as a whole would be the decentralized repository to search for and add RSS feeds to this app. You wouldn't need people making specific RSS lists on listr either, just people using some extension like RSSHub to extract RSS urls and send out that as a note of a certain kind or hashtag or something. Not sure if people would appreciate a whole kind being dedicated to an RSS feed url, but certainly would make creating a client easier.

So are most #nostr clients just fucked on #firefox or am I doing something stupid. On arch linux if it matters.

Edit: It was a newer Alby thing that overwrote my nsec or something. After working with nos2x and confirming I fixed my Alby configuration and all is well.


I hadn't yet but I downloaded it based on your recommendation and it's very cool. That being said, I'm sticking with Firefox nightly right now because I like the rounded bottom corners and theme I'm using and I just don't have that many special needs. That being said, I'll definitely occasionally use floorp and maybe after some playing with the crazy customization I'll switch.


Ah... it was i guess the Alby extension. I started using Firefox at the same time i noticed this issue. I tried with nos2x and everything started working like normal again.


Thanks for reporting. I must have a fucked up Firefox install. All the clients aren't loading everything properly (like seeing just a bunch of keys instead of content) unless I'm on a blink browser. I'll try to reinstall or try on some forks.

This is the right choice.  I don't generally have any response to self-portraits on social media regardless, but to the sentiment here I raise my glass.  You look beautiful and many people have much less societally championed features than you. My girlfriend is atypical of many of these standards but she is outrageously gorgeous. People need to do all they can to focus on the voices of individuals instead of parrot squawks from their chosen or inherited groups. It will help us all waste less of our depressingly limited time here.

Can anyone here get me in the loop on what the current "hot" proposals or projects related to login/onboarding experience are?  I'm talking mainly about things targeting noob/non-tech folks. Nsecbunker seems cool but it seems to add  not reduce confusion for a random new user but I can see how it could be packaged in a way that didn't.

Are there people or NIPs to follow where discussion is happening?

I'm wondering about anything related to fixing problems around people having their nsecs compromised, but there being no traditional password change type thing. Or just losing their nsecs even. Also just ways to increase friendliness or presentation to the masses of idiots called humans. Really anything remotely related to that topic. Interested in people's ideas just because I find it an interesting challenge.

I check here every once in a while to see if it's not still just completely dominated by libertarian bitcoin googly eyed platidudes. it's still mostly that but it gets better. I used to come on here often just for nostr dev news but honestly until they work on a strategy for having more electic content I'll probably stay an infrequent lurker since it's a bit boring. I'd honestly rather use a forum or reddit type thing using nostr, the existing options are not there yet. any community relay related development gets me interested though.


Local coffee shop (PH Coffee) is now digital only and has a pay it forward system to help prime without digital means. They've been robbed probably 4-5 times. They were actually just broken into again, but they didn't get much this time due to the change. For most basic ass people small things like not getting all your money stolen (without making a huge daily security process for lower wage workers opening and closing the store) will rank above ideological quests. Anyways I see your point but I don't blame them.

I wonder how many singers are known for a distinctive style that's really just a product of doing an impression of something else, and it's so god-awful that it sounds original. I mean something has to be going on with Elvis Costello.


On Android but cheers


problem with your thinking is nostr would be basically nothing right now with that approach.  that's mostly true about its beginning but I still think it's young enough that thriving in the wild west mentality is the best course until some bigger challenges are figured out. slowing down right now is the wrong move.


I get it. Sometimes your in the middle of GitHub and it hits you: "I need to quit this mess and join major league soccer." Good luck on your sports career.


I like New Order playing Joy Division songs more than either band playing their own songs.


funny how lofi term was stolen and now means like hi-fi produced chillwave with samples of reality inserted in or whatever. lo-fi usually was loud noisy recordings of diy bands but want necessarily genre specific. I just funny the term is now convoluted and the most common usage now is paradoxical because it's almost all hi-fi produced


you're doing great things


Unless your getting Nostr development news from here this is a terrible source. People are trash and spread what-the-fuck ever reinforces  what they *want* to be the truth. Here is no different and it's just as susceptible. The reality is it's just a hard problem in this connected age with division and sensationalist based incentives. I didn't necessarily see it improving soon, but until it does you need to take many sources into account and look into sources and their money.

sorry for typos. I got used to swipe typing before it started to suck more and more the last years. I need to just type like normal or double check before hitting ok, but I just don't care as often as I should, considering that it's inconsiderate.  That being said I'm a big supporter of edit with visible history.


Things are improving quickly thanks for all the hard work from all the nostr dev community


This is an overbearing opinion. He's blending specific implementations based on corporate greed with multiple design styles that 1. Are not the same 2. Do not buy themselves opress.

If you had a clean Scandinavian minimalist design that was very abstracted/far from handmade/craft, and every person had an a decent sized personal office that closed (with blinds). People would not feel oppressed. They would decorate with bits if themselves or some people would keep it clear because they prefer clean visuals without distraction. Also you can plug in a fucking incandescent lamp for other lighting while still having the same design. A lot of people like working in light cose to daylight in kelvin. Not me but I know plenty.

This is just like someone thinking, oh throwing the baseball fast is better, so shooting it out of a potato gun is better for the game of baseball. He's just running with it far beyond logic. And he's forgetting that handmade can be just as oppressive with propaganda and forcing a strong specific style on people to say think and be this way or else.

You people thrive on oversimplified sensationalism.

I started a community in the current implementation (librearts) so I'm familiar, but people are working on community specific relays. These would let relay owners moderate their own relays more completely. The makers of nostr all have talked about smaller vs bigger relays being the focus. They don't want a system with just a couple relays that everyone's on because it hurts the decentralization and sustainability, but what that means in a global view is that you're not sure who's going to see what you post similar to the issue with mastodon, and that problem extends to the current implementation of communities. For global view this is less of a big deal since you are generally just posting very general things out to anyone following, but for communities, you want to rely in the fact that the whole community can see it including strangers who don't grow you. Community relays fix this issue. People subscribe to relays/communities that they want that can then be smaller relays (or groups of relays for redundancy), but can also be sure that everyone in that community will see the post. And the reason we would want an app is to create the best first experience where you are seeing things you like, and also it would be needed because it's a totally different app concept to the Twitter-replacement app that we're on now. This would be an app more akin to Reddit or Lemmy but with proper architecture where each community can govern itself, be a paid relay, or complete with another community. And an app would just help people sign up and pick topics/communities they like, and then they would immediate have a main feed of strangers posting about things they actually are interested in. The communities could assist choose to be secret and not report to any people running a directory/app. It solves the problem of too big relays, helps the problem of discovering things you like from people you don't even know to look up, and makes them onboarding process easy to get an app tailored to your interests.


Seeing everything built on nostr is bittersweet: social, communities, survey forms, wikis, journal apps, etc. Finally a protocol that is simple and open enough to see this kind of community input and software growth. But then the community has no urgency to create a more eclectic experience outside of circle jerking Bitcoin. It's very 1 note. Community specific relays and apps that utilize selecting  them during user onboarding is one possible way to correct the course.


I like the protocol and don't care about Bitcoin at all but I also probably am not interesting to follow.

I've been hearing murmurs about folks working on community specific relays (or a group of relays for a community). I think it would have the biggest impact so far on user base adoption outside of the bitcoin religion.

It sounds like Stuart from satellite.earth might be working on something, and also the mostr dev was talking about "Ditto" which I think might intersect with the idea.

It would be interesting to see on the client side how a GUI might look like to switch between relays like one can switch through subreddits in a reddit app, or create custom named relay groups you can switch through in the same way.

This would also decentivize people from all being on the same few big relays.

Who is currently working on projects related to this that I can follow?


Yeah my guess is it was inconsiderate idiots bringing their own personal shit into a crowd of thousands. Knowing KC, most of the violence involves idiots shooting eachother over stupid shit like insecurities. It's sad man I wish people works just punch each other and keep living, or better just live knowing you hate eachother without escalating to violence. Obviously that's just speculation, but damn, not cool.


I was referring to the bridge, not xmpp or sip. Because phone numbers are still desired for the reasons I originally posted, a bridge only highlights why most people are still needing to have phone numbers to function in this world. It's about "availability* to more people's situations, aptitudes, services, and locations. And it's about both cultural and institutional *consensus* that the phone numbers are needed to participate with they who run the shit. To be clear, I do not want the status quo, but it's a narrow view for , well yeah there are so many things that could replace phone numbers. I mean if we are talking about this kind of power, I would ask why did people use .mps when .ogg or .flac were superior and didn't cost anything to build for? On a technical merits only level: easy, there is no good reason. But the history, spread, funding, business, power, profit, behind how .mp3 remained relevant so long is what is more discussion worthy. Same thing here. I'm answering assuming he was asking about why people, themselves, in this world, decide to us;l e a phone number (including for a bridge)


Those are great but they further enforce/bow to the dominance of the phone number.


Consensus & availability are the two reasons.  People want a defacto way to verbally connect to someone and write it on their skin or a napkin and they can assume someone will have that and it can be used to contact them using several form factors. There's also the fact that there's infrastructure to communicate without a smartphone our computer available. Institutions require that people have them to be successful. Job interviews, official business, etc. Not everyone has the privilege of interacting in a digital only world. A skilled tradesman would have constant trouble interfacing with their customers. If a decentralized alternative worked through the phone lines, it would be pretty sweet, or there existed a way to take over control of phone numbers from those entities.  I wish we could make them "handles" for another system like keys or dids.


On one hand, that's unprofessional and a shitty outlook to have with people coming to you in good spirit. On the other, the religious bitcoin platitudes that flood every user's feed on their first test is the ultimate boner shrinker and will hold back the platform. Most of you disagree because you're the problem lol. People think it's not a problem because later on it will be big enough and impressive enough that the bitcoin single focus will not be around. However, I've not seen any sign of this, especially since you'll see things on a lot of nostr services like "by bitcoiners for bitcoiners" and other stuff. Note that other protocols that focus on a *eclectic user-bases* are going to find success even if the tech is less ideal. And after a certain point, nostr will just permanently branded as a bitcoiner only environment.  The other protocols will also have time to adjust and get better too, but they'll *already* have a diverse user group.

And that might be a good goal for nostr if that's the goal, but it's not the goal i hear from most nostr devs. If the goal is to revolutionize connecting applications/users, you need to *want* other people here as a top priority. On a positive note, I heard Stuart of Satellite.earth was working on communities based around relays. I think an app based on discovering relay communities could be a big step forward in preventing the softening/drying out everyone's cult-averse genitals who give nostr a test run. It's a shame because the protocol has got to be the closest to the right design ever created.

Not the biggest sports dude, but damn congratulations to our city the Chiefs did it again.  Have to thank the Chiefs for giving me a day off Wednesday, because the parade goes right by my work so they have to shut down. Also the whole city is super nice to eachother for like 2 weeks.  GO CHIEFS!

Alright you got me I pity you for crying about all the poor people you have to step over on your way to spa.  Zapping you for your sorrows.


Friction - (seemingly) new open source, layer based, mograph tool

https://friction.graphic

I hadn't heard of this before. It's not even in the Arch user repository. But I'm glad to see something like this. Blender is king of software for artists, but I've been wishing there was something more layer based vs node based available for linux for more quick and dirty things.
