My journey from North Korea to freedom taught me that true freedom is more than escaping physical borders. It’s about breaking free from systems of control. So I see Bitcoin as a tool to help people regain their freedom, not as a matter of being a "Bitcoiner," but as a way to empower individuals to protect their fundamental human rights.

Primal for iOS build 1.9.90 has just been released. This build should resolve the performance / connectivity issues experienced by many Primal iOS users recently. If you were affected, please confirm that the new build indeed resolves these issues.

There are no new features in this release. We are preparing a massive upgrade with Primal 2.0 in October. 💜☀


Feed marketplace is coming with the full Primal 2.0 release in October.


If you are on Primal TestFlight, please note that we just rolled out a build that makes our iOS app much more performant and reliable. If testing goes well, we aim to release these improvements early next week.

Apologies to those who wish to participate in beta testing; our TestFlight is not public at the moment. We work closely with our testers and don’t have the bandwidth to expand the group at this time. With a bit of luck, an improved build will be live soon. Thanks for your patience!


Our production web app is main on github. The performance fix was in the caching service.


The fix was on the caching service side. We are working on a major upgrade of the web app for Primal 2.0. The public repo will be updated when we launch (in 2-3 weeks).


A note to all Primal users. We are working hard on making Primal much faster and more reliable. We already deployed a more performant web app. Please let us know if it works well for you.

Major updates to all Primal clients are in the works. Thanks for your patience, it will be worth the wait. 🫡


yes, we've been working on it. looking to deploy the fix soon.


All systems are operational. Which Primal client are you using (web/iOS/android)?


Yea working on a big update for Primal 2.0

Two weeks (tm)


It's amazing that bitcoin exists, and that it continues to work. It's amazing that nostr exists, and that all the stuff that we only dreamed about a few short years ago is being built out before our eyes.

Zaps and splits and eCash and self-sovereign infrastructure and streaming sats and swarm highlights and zapraisers and marketplaces and secure chat and and and. And this is just the beginning. "It's as bad now as it will ever be."

Grateful to be part of it all.


Happy birthday Cashu 🥜🥜🎂


Twitter bitcoiners are the funniest me just begging a corporation and governments for a drop of freedom to talk about bitcoin to a bunch of bots for a petty little KYC fiat check every two weeks and micro niche clout.

That’s the least punk thing I’ve ever heard of fam. Lmaooooo


Thanks for the feedback; never hesitate to send bug reports! We are aware of this; it's actually a connectivity issue with the iOS app. The fix will be included in the next release. In the meantime the workaround is to restart the app. Sorry about the inconvenience!

they do, when they aren't busted. will fix.


Deploying many horizontally scalable instances is the way.

One caching service is not interesting. Dozens (or hundreds) of instances is very interesting and could help scale nostr imho.


Troubleshooting multiple issues both client-side and with the caching service. Aiming to deploy some fixes in the next few days.

Thank you to everyone who provided feedback over the past few days; it really helped! 🫂

Apologies to all Primal users who experienced slowness over the past few days. We identified some issues are working on fixing them.

We still don’t fully understand how widespread the issues are, so if you want to help, can you please respond below with the following info:

- Which Primal client(s) are you using?
- Did you experience slowness in the past few days?
- How is the app performing now?

Thanks for your feedback!


It's actually a client-side issue that's been messing with us on and off for some time now. We'll get it sorted out for the 2.0 release.


Yes, working on it. Next build should fix it.


Twitter was paramount in bitcoins growth and its battles. Was a very cool quirky place eons before that too. Even though I have a very old account, bitcoin was the reason I started using it more frequently.

I met an incredible amount of good ppl there. Some of the best ppl I know was directly or indirectly because of the bird app. Hired ppl. Connected ppl.

There was/is absolutely nothing like it.

It's hard to imagine how the direction of my life would have gone, it was greatly impacted by it.

Crazy place! A true public square, I'm incredibly grateful for it.

Covid killed it, or at least accelerated its dystopian trajectory.

US politics gravitational force also doesn't help. Nothing on earth can scape use politics, everyone and everything deal with its consequences.

Even decentralized things. But they fare better. See bitcoin.

Anywho... Being with the X account deactivated over the weekend was quite nice, it had been a very long time since I fully disconnected. It is still a lot of signal, a lot of Lindy. But is also became an open sewer. (Why?)

The algorithm evolved for maximum conflict. It's hard to even describe how much it makes your skin crawl. It finds all the shit you don't want to read by the ppl you don't even knew about existed and vomits on you. Even with the large muted word list. It's not a healthy place.

Maxium engagement = more ad views?!

I don't want the firehose all the time. Humans are not designed for that. Different moods different content. Different types of engagement. Maybe even different clients for different sub network graphs. It's time time evolve. I think Nostr takes us there.

BUT I think Twitter's value can't be ignored. It is still a ginormous network.

That's aside from good ppl I know there, where it is our only comms channel.

I plan on drastically decreasing my use of it, truly limiting to posts about Nostr, projects I like and amplifying bitcoin things I believe in. The goal is to trend towards end of use. Hopefully it gracefully coincides with Nostr rising as the new public square. Protocols must be open. There must algo choice. Or we are doomed to doom scroll and ad target conflict.

I no longer will allow myself to scroll.

And will try to starve the beast as much as possible.

Which app are you using (iOS/Android/Web)? Also, does restarting the app help?


can you be more specific?


Hey welcome to nostr! 🫂

During the signup process you selected some topics you are interested in. The Primal app automatically followed some accounts that typically post content in those categories.

We are working on improving this system for a future release. Hopefully this explanation makes sense.


Meh, IPFS was doomed from the start with their p2p/dht approach. All we need to do is relay signed messages. And there are soo many ways to do that.


When you say that Nostr can’t scale or that it can be censored, what you are really saying is that an army of developers won’t find a way to relay notes and other stuff.

I’ll take the other side of that bet.


Searching for note id works in Primal iOS and Android clients. For the web client, you can simply paste it in the browser address bar. We will make it do the right thing when you paste it in the search box as well.


6 posts in a row I have gotten 2x better engagement on NOSTR than twitter, with fewer followers here than there


One episode recorded, was a banger!

Short, optimistic and realistic. WAGMI.

We are going to probably release like an Album.

Hi!

I just got back from a breathwork retreat in Hawaii and learned that @jackmallers shared the story of how I became a Bitcoiner through introducing me to @primal.

Jack’s right, I’ve never been very interested in money (or at least I thought I wasn’t). What I am interested in is people, our integrated health, and the implications it has on collective society.

Nostr helped me to understand Bitcoin not only as a superior monetary technology, but an unparalleled humanitarian tool. Here’s why I’m so bought in:

- It’s been proven over and over that safety is the foundation of integrated health

- Centralized unsound money = collective lack of safety

- Decentralized sound money = collective safety

- Collective safety = better integrated health & healthier society

It’s really as simple as that for me.

I’m grateful Jack shared my story because it perfectly illustrates how change happens. By making it matter to people in a way that sparks their fire. Jack is really good at that.

My spark has been lit. I look forward to lighting my neighbor’s through honesty, connection, and freedom - three tenets of bitcoin that make me a believer.

#nostr is a creature evolving in front of our eyes along with our use and the development of it

We already understand how cool is, but we're discovering new features, ideas and possibilities every single day

How cool is participating into that? 😎


People  will soon understand that Nostr is an entirely different type of network than anything they've seen before.

I am not just talking about censorship resistance and user sovereignty. A new breed of applications is now possible. We'll show how good those apps can be.


Yes!


Thanks very much. The suggestion is not to switch to others, just to explore the Nostr ecosystem.

Some bitcoiners are still sleeping on Nostr. My Riga talk was dedicated to them:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxkaUxzr4xY


Nostr


The hilarious part is that we are going to crush it so massively that other competing networks are going to look like toys in comparison. Much sooner than most think.


Every time the price of a shitcoin pumped low conviction bitcoiners, in it for the wrong reasons made bad trades.

Every bear market we shedded even more.

Yet, bitcoin is top dog. No centralized marketing. Just best product and time.

Stop whining that some other project *claims* to have more users.

Focus on your shit, build the best shit, stop being a pussy.

The real freedom tools with the right incentives will take many many years to find adoption.

Linux took for ever to capture its market.

Bitcoin took forever, still battling gold from behind.

Lower your time preference, or just ring the fucking bell and quit. The loser mentality drags everyone down.

I have nothing else to do but grind on bitcoin and Nostr for the next 20 years.

Learn to have FUN.


Working on Primal 2.0 and a major upgrade to the web app. The target, as always, is two weeks (tm). It will be open sourced under the MIT license on Day 1.


Gm.

It seems that it will be very hard for Brazil to identify and enforce the fines on VPN usage for Twitter/X. But it’s a powerful scare tactic.

When the United States banned gold ownership in the1930s (which lasted for four decades all the way into the 1970s btw), they didn’t really enforce it at the household level. They just had large prison terms that were rarely ever applied, which effectively dried up liquidity in the gold market.

Some people have pointed out that Nostr relays could be blocked by Brazilian internet providers if Nostr was big enough to matter. However, more relays could spin up, so they’d have to keep adding to the list.

Brazil’s government could then say it’s illegal to use VPNs for any Nostr app around internet censoring. The defense against that is to make Nostr as ubiquitous as possible. The more apps that tie into Nostr in some way, the harder it is to ever ban it in practice. Some people might not even know their favorite app uses Nostr. Imagine if everyone’s favorite short form app, long form app, podcasting app, reviews app, wallet app, recipes app, picture app, music app, and tons of other stuff are tied into Nostr, and how hard that would be to ban.

If Nostr becomes big enough to really matter, it’s because it’ll be tied into so many different things. That’s super powerful. And the devs keep building rapidly.


GM, we've created a Brazilian #Ditto server! We're still working on the name. We are looking for feedback, and to make connections with Brazilian influencers. This is our time to shine, Nostr!

https://verdade.us


Agreed


Argentina or Uruguay would be awesome for the next Nostr.World conference.

That’s my vote. 🫡


If you are nerd sniping us, it's working


You are prob right that Australia needs Nostr more than most. I just don't feel like going there. 😅

But same as you, I'll go wherever the event ends up.


Love Uruguay


Man, remember when Australia imprisoned Novak Djokovic for not wanting to bend the knee? They literally put the world's healthiest human in a cage for "health reasons". Now it's obvious that he was on the right side of history, but we still haven't seen an apology. That, plus the whole "five eyes" thing doesn't make Australia too appetizing for me.

Just my 2 sats.


South America sounds great for the next nostr.world conference. What do you guys think?

nostr:note1pk5skydtg9trv3vsrpg6lhfd2gm7erdtuf0249urzkxzvezmclysf52zzf


There are those who come here with certain expectations (images don't load, can't find users, DM privacy sucks, no blue checkmarks, ...) and a conflicted mind that doesn't let them enjoy the freedom of chaos. They need it to be wrong and broken so they can handle the dissonance when going back to Elon's private global hellscape.

Then there are those who come and see an infinite space of possibilities and also challenges, they see the beauty in the chaos. They know that this protocol owes them exactly nothing.

They ask: what can I do with nostr what has never been done before? And slowly they realize how big this question really is.


THE COMBINATION OF SIGNED MESSAGES AND KEY REPUTATION SYSTEMS WILL RESULT IN NOSTR BEING THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT OPEN DATA SET IN THE WORLD.

IMAGINE FADING THAT.


Nostr is a mess. It always has been and will always be. That's part of the appeal!

This is a highlight created in https://primal.net iOS application


with every note I write on nostr I feel a sense that I am making a slight improvement toward righting what’s wrong in the world


"<thing> doesn't scale" is one of the dumbest things you can say to any new idea. Everything scales. If there are users using it, humans will find ways to scale it.

Scaling issues are always the best problems to have.

Now, if no one uses your thing though.. then it really won't scale. But not because it can't.

Bitcoin conferences should become even more boring. Just like gravity(!good amoral permissionless money should be the most boring thing. Because no one can influence it, shape it, control it, there won't be interest on talking about it.

Nostr on the other hand, is new and exciting, there is a lot of shaping to do.

But it too, when it wins, will become very boring. Like electricity. For most it's invisible.

imho, nostriga was the best nostr.world conference so far. and that says a lot, because nostrica and nostrasia were bangers. as i wait at the gate to fly out of riga, wanted to share some thoughts while my impressions are still fresh.

i don’t know the actual numbers, but it felt like this was the biggest nostr event yet. the quality and signal of presentations was excellent. we are leaning into what is working, while at the same time there are still many fresh ideas emerging.

in comparison, i must say that bitcoin events feel a bit stale. you can almost pick any talk/keynote/panel and drop it into any other bitcoin conference over the past few years - and it wouldn’t feel out of place.

nostr has a lot of momentum and i dare to say that we have the winning hand vs. the legacy web. just keep pushing fam. 💜☀

Very cool, we'll dive into it after Riga.


I looked for this previously on Wikifreedia as you suggested, but couldn't find it. 😅

It does look interesting. It would be great if we could come up with a standard feed spec. DVMs are more general and could be useful for feeds. Let's talk more. You going to Riga?


Looks like you are not on the latest version of our Android app. After you update, you'll have the option to reorder the feeds:

https://primal.net/downloads


Sorry, we don't have this feature yet. It does make sense to offer it; I'll add it to the list.


I agree that we need more diverse content. Please suggest high signal accounts that we should add to our follow categories.


Good idea; added to the list.


Interesting; that way you could have multiple follow lists. We could create feeds that are based on any nostr list, or a combination of lists.


If you go to Settings / Feeds in any Primal app, you'll be able reorder the feeds there. The top feed is the default one when you load the app.


Looks interesting; we'll take a closer look!


Agreed, that's a great feature that we don't currently support. We may add support for lists in the future, not sure when exactly.

In the meantime, have you tried Listr?

https://listr.lol


Interesting idea. Let's see if we can make it happen.


Haven't seen this before; looks great! 👌


Cool. Working on making it faster! 😅


By "same mechanism", I was referring to DVMs (Data Vending Machines) as a method to deliver custom nostr feeds.

We are working on a bunch of new feeds at Primal. They will all be open source and exposed in a public feed marketplace (as DVMs). In addition, all Primal clients will support 3rd party feeds via the same mechanism. This already works great in Amethyst; nice work  nostr:npub1gcxzte5zlkncx26j68ez60fzkvtkm9e0vrwdcvsjakxf9mu9qewqlfnj5z.

If you have suggestions for feeds you'd like to see, let us know and we'll try to make them! 🫡

When it comes to issues of deletion and editing content, what matters more is if the creator can communicate their intentions around their content.

You can already do that. Go to Settings / Feeds and reorder the feeds as you wish. The top feed will be the default one.


We're just about coming up on it having been one month since I wrote my article, "Nostr, The Strangest and Clunkiest Twitter Replacement." In that time, I've explored the protocol, I've switched websites, and lamented the fact that I didn't post that first article on Nostr (especially because people's links to it are now likely broken).

Can Nostr Make Twitter's Dreams Come True?

Twitter's founder says Nostr is “100 percent what we wanted”—an open, ownerless network

Alex Gladstein | 8.13.2024

Virtually everyone agrees that social media is broken. On Facebook, X, Instagram, and TikTok, people fear out-of-control algorithms, fake news, state actor censorship, and propaganda. Google and Meta collect vast troves of personal information on their users and receive hundreds of thousands of requests every year from governments around the world to access that data. YouTube has become arguably "the most powerful media platform in the history of humanity," yet its algorithm is an ever-changing black box to the creators that populate the platform with videos. During the pandemic, federal officials were in contact with every major social media platform, coercing them to remove content.

The problem is centralized control. We can't trust companies to run our primary communications infrastructure. Government regulation only makes matters worse because it creates new legal barriers to entering the industry, which protects incumbent players and stifles innovation.

What if there were an alternative, not owned by Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, or the Chinese Communist Party? What if there were a way to control your own data to prevent companies from harvesting and monetizing it? What if you had granular control over what you see in your feed, with the freedom to choose your own algorithms? What if you owned your identity, which could be accessed seamlessly across different clients? That way, if you disapprove of the changes that Elon Musk brought to X, instead of closing your account you could take your handle and followers elsewhere.

That alternative exists. It's called "Notes and Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays"—or Nostr.

The Decentralized Solution

Invented by a pseudonymous programmer and overwhelmingly funded by grants from non-profit foundations, this decentralized, free, and open-source protocol has been quietly evolving for the past three years. Like bitcoin, Nostr is a community-run digital network highly resistant to censorship and corruption. It has 40,000 weekly active users and a growing ecosystem of clients and applications ranging from social media to long-form publishing to payments.

Nostr is only necessary because our existing internet is so broken.

Fifteen years ago, social media seemed destined to decentralize the world and give power back to the people. In 2009, we watched as Arab Spring activists used Twitter and Facebook to organize, coordinate, and help topple several long-standing dictatorships. The promise was that these new social platforms, designed by Silicon Valley entrepreneurs, could help liberate the masses.

It was intoxicating—but turned out to be a mirage. The Arab revolutions stalled out when brutal military regimes cracked down. These platforms became tools for spying and censoring their users. X and Facebook have helped journalists and human rights activists reach bigger audiences, but they haven't fulfilled their revolutionary promise.

Jack Dorsey's Shift from Bluesky to Nostr

This was a major theme at the 2024 Oslo Freedom Forum, which is put on annually by the Human Rights Foundation, where I serve as chief strategy officer. At this conference for democracy and human rights, Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey told the audience that the problem was, actually, guys like him: The very fact that Twitter, now X, has a CEO makes it a single point of failure. Governments routinely pressured Dorsey to censor content; once the company's offices in India were raided. Dorsey says that under the new Musk regime X complies with whatever governments want.

The X network is proprietary. Known as a "silo," this construct traps a user's identity, followers, and data. X also has the power to evict anyone from the platform and delete what they've written. Several years ago, when he was still running the company, Dorsey became convinced that Twitter should become an application instead, where users could post content to an open, ownerless network. This would make it similar to how bitcoin works, where you use an application called a wallet to interact with the network, but the network itself is neutral and open.

Building a non-proprietary architecture was Dorsey's original vision for Twitter, but over time the need to maximize revenue to build a business and serve shareholders undermined that goal.

Nevertheless, in 2021, Dorsey encouraged the creation of Bluesky—an initiative bootstrapped in-house to create that open neutral base layer. But after Musk bought the company, the managers of Bluesky were afraid they would run out of money and started raising funds from venture capitalists, which undermined the vision of building an open platform. Dorsey grew disenchanted and left the Bluesky board.

At the conference in Oslo, Dorsey explained what happened next:

I asked a question: What open source initiatives should I be funding that would be helpful to the public internet? And people kept tweeting at me that I should be looking at Nostr. I found the GitHub that described it and it was 100 percent what we wanted from Bluesky, but it wasn't developed from a company. It was completely independent. Its paper diagnosed every single problem we saw and had. But did it in a grassroots and dead simple way, that felt like the early Twitter where any developer could get on and really feel it.

Escaping the 'Golden Prisons'

Nostr was created in 2020 by the pseudonymous Brazilian programmer fiatjaf, who describes it as "the simplest open protocol that is able to create a censorship-resistant global 'social' network once and for all."

Though nobody is in charge, Nostr works as promised and is thriving. "It is the solution we've all been looking for," says Miljan Braticevic, founder of Primal, one of the two dozen plus clients now available for the Nostr protocol. "Nostr is not a Twitter competitor or a Mastodon competitor. This is the biggest misconception at the moment. That's just the tip of the iceberg. Nostr is nothing less than the foundation for the new internet. Meaning almost every conceivable app we have today will be built on Nostr."

Braticevic's prediction is echoed by at least a dozen other prominent developers. Martti Malmi, the first coder to work on bitcoin alongside Satoshi Nakamoto, is now a Nostr developer. In a recent talk, he said he had started to work on similar ideas around decentralized identity in 2019, only to come close to giving up. But then he found fiatjaf's invention, which he called a "godsend."

"Bitcoin is freedom of money, and Nostr is freedom of everything else," Malmi said. "I was there" in the earliest days of bitcoin, "and Nostr is even more intense."

For something that could be world-changing, Nostr is quite simple. To join, you sign up with a mobile or desktop client, which helps you to create a public and private key pair. The public key (or "npub") is used as your identifier, and you share it with clients and other users so that people can find your posts or pay you for your content. The private key ("nsec") is hidden by the user, stored safely (just like a bitcoin seed phrase), and is your way to log in to different services. Unlike platforms like X or Facebook, no other information is required to set up and use Nostr.

This gives users a powerful range of sovereignty. You can use a client, for example, that has strong hate speech controls. Or you can choose one that doesn't have any at all. You can use a client with aggressive algorithms, just like the ones X uses today. Or you can use one without any algorithm at all. Today, when you log in to an app like Primal, you can sort your feed by what's the latest, by what's most popular, by what's most zapped, or by customized keywords. It's up to you.

Last month, the macroeconomist Lyn Alden, author of one of the best books on bitcoin, published a long essay about Nostr's potential:

[Nostr] is a simple set of foundational building blocks that, if widely adopted, could gradually reshape "the Web" as we know it. Instead of a separate set of siloed social ecosystems, we could gravitate toward a more interoperable set of ecosystems, with more of the power dispersed to the content creators and to the audience, and away from the middlemen corporations.

The Nostr network is constructed like a spider web that can morph and regenerate, making it almost impossible to censor. When you set up a client on Nostr (perhaps, Primal or Damus on iOS; Amethyst on Android; or Coracle on the web), you choose from a variety of relays to connect to. This architecture ensures no single point of failure: If you are connected to seven or eight relays, and half of them choose to censor posts, your feed remains censorship-free, as your app will display the net sum of everything broadcast from each relay. If the Chinese government decides to attack your relays—as it did in 2023 when Damus launched on the Hong Kong and mainland app store—then more can be spun up. "The enemy," said Damus creator Will Casarin, "is too numerous."

Prominent bitcoin developer and educator Gigi—who switched to Nostr and deleted his X account—says that what helped it become so resilient is that it has zero exit cost. If the Chinese Communist Party bans YouTube, its domestic users lose everything. There's no way to get back their profiles and followers. The same is true if a user voluntarily closes an account.

Gigi calls these corporate silos "golden prisons" with no escape. Nostr's spider-like architecture makes escaping easy. If one client goes down, or you fail to connect to one relay, you just find another client or connect to another relay. You keep your posts, photos, preferences, contacts, and even algorithms of choice. If you use X, you are an X creator. But if you use Primal, you aren't a Primal creator, you are a Nostr creator.

NDK introduces signature verification sampling. Each relay gets a lower and upper threshold of what ratio of events need to be verified. An unknown relay might start at getting 100% of it's events verified and, over time, lower the ratio to 50%. Whereas a relay the user has in their NIP-65 list might start at 50% and lower to 1%.

Social networks tend to build certain cultures. In this early stage, people here have a serious ability affect this culture if we ever go 10x or 100x or 1000x from here.

And you all have done an amazing job so far.

Imagine if Nostr can re-assert respect and kindness as normal online traits. You appreciate peoples' posts. You thank them. You agree or disagree politely. You treat people online similar to how you do offline.

You're not beholden to the algorithm. You're a real person, who uses algorithms for discovery. You're the master of your domain.

We still have that for the most part. Pura Vida is the unofficial motto here, which is awesome.

Keep it up.

What's your daily driver in terms of nostr client(s)?


Hey Cory, good to hear from you! We are working on it; aiming to have that available this fall.


hello yourself!


The biggest story around Nostr isn’t censorship resistance.

It’s the total reshaping of the incentive structure on the Web. The platform silos currently hold most of the power, but Nostr will shift it to users and content creators. This will become more obvious as we build out the tools for users and content creators. Zaps are just the starting point. Exciting times ahead.

nostr:note16uc4f3673vf69v7ledd8x99r9ej2sgfrxg56mqn98yfelq66a05qdkw4up


Holy shit, I think I just realized a direct and concrete way that I’ve personally experienced to how #Nostr completely changes the social incentives:

• Rage and hateful posts on Twitter get the most attention.
• Positive and happy posts on Nostr get the most zaps.

It really was just monetization all the time.

When attention is the currency, negativity and hate rise to the top because the platforms need people arguing.

When sats directly from peers are the currency, value rises to the top.

(Anyone else feel they’ve had this same experience?)

Here's how Serbian people will remember Biden:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bo6A1qCVl3Q


Biden announced he is not running for president on Twitter, a centralized company, via an account for which it is understood he doesn’t control directly.

When thinking about the future, this feels like such archaic technology in the present. This is a world where the SEC account was compromised not that long ago and posted market-moving false information.

If a president has nuclear codes, he arguably should also have a signing key for any important communications.

Strangers on nostr paying for our food with #bitcoin 🤯
https://m.primal.net/JWbt.mov


In bitcoin’s early years, a lot of people debated the theoretical functioning of it with a critical lens, but then in practice it just worked and bootstrapped for the next 15 years and counting. It was simple and elegant enough to work despite being rough around the edges, caught all the right types of mindshare, and grew.

Nostr has a similar pattern so far. Lots of people critique it. And galaxy brains are trying to build more complex alternative digital identity schemes without much shipping. Meanwhile Nostr is out in the field bootstrapping with users and developers and companies.

🚀 Introducing Nutsack 0.1!

nutsack.me -- Don't load too much money; this is highly experimental!

A NIP-60/61 nostr client.

This is a wallet that lives in nostr and is can be accessed from any nostr client that chooses to implement it.

Nutzaps are OPT-IN -- if you don't opt-in to nutzaps, a NIP-60/61 client that zaps you would just do a LN NIP-57 payment; it would just be paying from ecash but you would receive it on your LN wallet.

With these two NIPs we'll get a few cool things:
* unified balance across your apps
* pocket-change that follows you around
* new users are immediately zappable 🤯
* verifiable nutzaps
* faster zaps and zaps that can't go missing

and so much more cool stuff; just watch the video and let your mind wander with the possibilities...

MY BITCOIN STORY:

In the summer of 2017, I woke up broken.

Knees swollen, wrists hurt, constant low fever, and we had no idea why.

This happened right after I graduated with a masters degree.

I was ready to surf the world, BUT NOPE.. I was bed ridden.  fortunately, I had a supporting family to care for me.

How was I supposed to make any money? How am I supposed to be healthy?

These two questions were the beginning of my self-curriculum.

While on the couch, I remembered my buddy showing me “CrYpTo” and ethereum’s flash crash in 2017.

Now that I had time, and a little bit of grad money, I started down the rabbit hole.

I ended up purchasing
Bitcoin with all the grad money with a promise to myself to never sell it.  (Yes I shitcoined a ton, but kept my promise).

It felt like rock bottom when I was on the couch, not knowing if I’d ever recover and live a normal
Life.  Scariest time of my life still..

Now in hindsight, I’m incredibly grateful for those couple months and the time it gave me to introspect, learn, & discover.

We never really figured out what happened.  We found the hla b27 antigen which means I am more prone to autoimmune disorders.
Haven’t had a flare up since.

Here’s a video I made years ago for TikTok reflecting on what I learned

Our in-app purchase feature is designed to help people get a small amount of sats for the first time so they can experience zapping on nostr. This feature isn't designed for regularly buying sats; you are much better off using a service like Strike for that.

In some cases frequent in-app purchases trigger our fraud logic and freeze the wallet. We unfreeze it quickly if we determine that we are dealing with a legitimate user.


Sounds like a great topic for a talk.

Great read, enjoy.

IMHO, The Fiat Standard is even better. It's a meticulous critique of the fiat world that helped me understand how the monetary system affects virtually every aspect of the society. Even though it sounds batshit insane, the old phrase "bitcoin fixes everything" actually has merit.

Just wish  nostr:npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak was more active on Nostr!


Agreed.


I realize that in theory similar things can be claimed, but do you see large numbers of users actually holding their keys on these networks? If not, then we are talking about different types of networks imo.

Also, what's your take on the diversity of apps being built on the competing networks? On Nostr, we have just about every imaginable app type being built or at least attempted. I find this to be insanely bullish for Nostr.


Are they really rivals to Nostr tho?

I guess the answer differs based on what you want to use Nostr for. Personally, I don't see either of them offering foundational building blocks for the new Internet.

IMHO, only Nostr provides self-sovereign cryptographic identities, web of trust, communication layer, and persistence layer - all of which are truly open and permissionless. That's why I think that Nostr is inevitable.


I agree, we should enjoy each phase. Also agree that it's all good!

As for our rivals that have gone 10x, I am curious about who you are referring to.


It's an honor to be an early adopter.


Nostr is inevitable.

However, the adoption trajectory is uncertain. It could take a couple of years or a decade before Nostr gains critical mass. Our actions will make all the difference. The builders and early adopters bear the responsibility of guiding Nostr through this early stage.

Anyhow, good morning! ☀

Apologies, we had an intra issue. Everything should be back up now.

Okay, we can help you with this. I'll send you a DM shortly.

As for your question, KYC is a legal requirement for offering a custodial wallet service; it is not our choice to collect this information.


Hey  nostr:npub1er0k46yxcugmp6r6mujd5qvp75yp72m98fs6ywcs2k3kqg3f8grqd9py3m, that doesn't sound right. If you were able to activate the wallet and sends sats to it, the app shouldn't ask you for anything else at a later time. Are you really not able to withdraw? What is the error message you are getting?


Yup, I can repro the problem on iOS. We'll look into it; thanks for reporting.

The last 24hours were pretty wild…BUT WE MADE IT 🔥🫡 let’s see what happens next 👀

Where are the NOSTR Ticas and Ticos?

I’m planning to stay in St. Ana for a night before heading towards the bitcoin jungle.

Besides the bitcoin jungle app any advice or places I should check out related to nostr / #btc?

Made a bet today with a skeptic that Nostr will have more than 1M weekly active users by Jan 31, 2026

We are at ~35k today

That’s about 18 months from now

Piece of history: Julian Assange's 2010 Oslo Freedom Forum talk, delivered the last time he was a free man

It's a remarkable talk, I suggest watching it

He gave it right after releasing Collateral Murder, before his ability to travel was frozen

Six months before the banking blockade, one year before the Bitcoin fundraiser began

But most of the points remain fundamental

the value of our voice lies in expressing it authentically.

we use truth to pursue freedom and peace, not lies for attention and approval.

how important is the protocol through which we express our voice? who controls how it is heard and seen?

Yes, that's the web of trust approach I mentioned above. We use it in some parts of Primal (e. g. to eliminate bots from trending feeds). Using it for user counts would understate the real user numbers tho.


I agree with this take.

Our current user count calculation is very permissive: we count all public keys that have user metadata set. This can be gamed (anyone can create bot key pairs and set metadata for them), so our nostr user numbers are overstated.

The alternative is to use a web of trust algorithm to identify real users based on follow connections. The downside of this technique is that we would be underestimating the number of real users because most new users won’t have any real followers initially.

Given that other networks generously include bots when stating their user numbers, our approach is probably a decent apples-to-apples comparison. In fact, as you point out, nostr seems to have higher engagement per number of followers.

Having said all that, I am not happy with the fact that our numbers don’t reflect real users. We will work on improving these techniques, but I definitely don’t want to err on the side of excluding real users from the count.


Announcing: Harbor, an ecash desktop wallet for better bitcoin privacy.

https://blog.mutinywallet.com/harbor/

Privacy for the common person is a value worth fighting for. When we see a lack of freedom tools, we must build them into existence. They don't appear on their own.

Much has been said about privacy at the Bitcoin protocol level. For now, we build it on higher layers where we can be more nimble.

Ecash is a tool available today that combines with Bitcoin to bring new levels of common privacy. Cashu and Fedimint are two existing implementations we're interested in.

https://m.primal.net/ISqH.png

Harbor Privacy: All communication runs over Tor. Mutiny is not in the middle of any connections or transactions. Funds in the wallet get a Privacy Score to show how the mints provide privacy over time. More to come on this in the future.

https://m.primal.net/ISqJ.png

Harbor Multi-mint: Instead of relying on a single mint with your funds, spread the risk over dozens or more. Harbor manages this for you, showing you a single balance while connecting with mints for you. A mint can go offline with minimal impact on you.

https://m.primal.net/ISqK.png

Harbor Automation: Running as a desktop app unlocks ability to do long running processes in the background. Move money in and out of mints on your preferred schedule to maximize your desired level of privacy. Harbor makes suggestions, but you are in control.

Move money in and out of Harbor using Lightning or on-chain. We love Bitcoin, and we love privacy. We hope Harbor gives everyday people more privacy and peace of mind.

And, it shouldn't be all that surprising either. Block's recent shareholder newsletter mentioned Nostr and Zaps.  These may seem like a minor feats, but they are not. They're huge. They're showcasing how developers and businesses alike can integrate as little or as much as Nostr as they desire, due to Nostr being an open and permissionless protocol.

Interoperability is how we #grownostr and how we win.


I couldn't agree more Daniele. 🤝

We are currently working on marking long form content first class citizen on Primal. LFG!


Great point. As nostr long form content becomes more popular (which it will, I guarantee it), we'll see some really interesting long form feeds.


I hope we will see a vibrant market of both paid and free algos. Some algos might be very specialized, and it might make sense for some users to pay for them.


Nostr will have the best algorithms. Can’t wait for an open marketplace for algos; it will be glorious. ✨

Collecting KYC info is a legal requirement for offering a custodial wallet service. Agreed, we need to do a better job communicating this; it's on our to-do list for the next release.

The Privacy Policy and Terms of Service links should work from within the app. Maybe it's an issue with smaller screen on iPhone SE. In any case, here are the links:

Yeah it took me a little while to get used to it (because I am used to Twitter), but now I feel that the wide layout is superior.


We support NWC on android. We actually had it implemented on iOS too, but had to remove it to pass app review. 😕


Not anymore. We had the option while we were still tinkering with layouts, but now we are leaning into the wide layout.

I must say it took me a little while to get used to it, but now I feel it's superior to the narrow layout.


Not today, but soon™


Yes, we are looking at adding the ability to deactivate your primal wallet in the settings. Still thinking through the details of how that would work.

App chrome is the top & bottom navigation bar that now hide more gracefully when you scroll through the feeds.


Make sure you are holding your nsec (nostr private key). Choose the relays you wish to publish to. Even better: run your own relay.


Primal iOS build 1.7.21 is now live. Here’s what we have for you:

- Faster rendering
- Wide feed layout
- Top zaps in feeds
- Notifications facelift
- Improved app chrome
- Improved connectivity
- Wallet fixes & improvements

Let us know how you like the new features and what you would like to see next in Primal.

Enjoy! 🤙💜

In case anyone missed this or it wasn’t obvious, zap.stream now has regular video support. Meaning it acts like YouTube or flare.pub. Soon you’ll be able to upload videos and start “channels” - basically branded npubs.

It’s still a work in progress and some things are not functional but check back often!!


Fair, doing that now.


Strange take.

He sounds like he hasn't seen the list of projects supported by  nostr:npub10pensatlcfwktnvjjw2dtem38n6rvw8g6fv73h84cuacxn4c28eqyfn34f.


Openness is nostr’s killer feature. We still need to improve the UX around these scenarios, but once we do, and the ecosystem grows, it will be glorious. ✨

Why we’re BULLISH on #nostr
https://m.primal.net/IImM.mov


Things may seem chaotic and that's because they certainly are. However, it's never been easier to build your way out of tyranny. The future is bright if you look in the right places.


Happy to respond to constructive criticism, but if the conversation degrades to name calling then yes, I’ll ignore you. Nothing personal I just don’t have time for that.


So your criticism is that our Privacy Policy is subject to change? That is literally the case with every privacy policy in the world. As the project evolves and features are added, the privacy policy must be updated accordingly. For example, we had to update our Privacy Policy when we added the wallet feature.

*If* we change our policy in the future to something that you think would be harmful to our users or the network, *then* by all means raise the flag and criticize us. Criticizing now based on the assumption that we *might* do it in the future is a bit premature.


I don’t mind the scrutiny, I think it’s a feature of the nostr ecosystem, but please don’t base it on hypotheticals. Saying that we *could* change our terms in the future and *could* do something nefarious is not helpful.

As I said before, we plan to monetize by offering a premium tier to our users. We will do that when we are ready. There is a lot to build and we need to make sure that we can provide enough value for people to actually pay for the premium tier.


Thanks for caring enough to listen and take the time to post follow-up questions.

At my previous startup (Datazen) we developed a general purpose reporting product. Our customers were businesses of all sizes who wanted something better than Excel to visualize their data on mobile devices. The company was acquired by Microsoft in 2015 and our product was integrated into SQL Server Reporting Services.

How is any of this problematic in the context of Nostr/Primal?


Apologies, we are usually very responsive. Somebody will reach out shortly. Please keep an eye on your DMs.


Some people need to try that last one for themselves to make sure.


Have tough questions for Primal? Chances are  nostr:npub1hqaz3dlyuhfqhktqchawke39l92jj9nt30dsgh2zvd9z7dv3j3gqpkt56s and  nostr:npub1tvqc82mv8cezhax5r34n4muc2c4pgjz8kaye2smj032nngg52clq0rkrq4 already covered them yesterday:

Nostr's data is growing all the time. I feel more and more user interaction. Don't be confused by the statistics. If you need nostr, keep posting and keep zapping. #Nostr will be unstoppable. I will not stop using nostr because the statistics show that only a few people are active that day. And ignore the posts and #Zap ⚡ of my friends who are really active. 🫂💜

Daily active users: 13,409.
Weekly active users: 32,039.
Total zaps: 3,059,134.
Daily note events posted: 688709.

People are always scared by wrong statistics. Just like being scared by the data of the Federal Reserve. There are often statistical errors in the data of nostr.band due to data lag. I don't know if it is because the data of all relays needs to be pulled for manual review every once in a while.

Bonus: this is now fixed for everyone on Primal that follows a lot of profiles.

If you commented on the original note with similar problems, you should now be able to follow additional npubs on another client and have the whole contact list updated in Primal too.

We can't seem to be able to repro this. Contact list updates by other clients appear to be correctly picked up by Primal.

Question: are you seeing this issue only on the Primal web app, or also on Android?

Introducing Boardwalk Cash - the first dollar-based Cashu wallet built on top of #bitcoin and connected to #nostr.

https://BoardwalkCash.com

We now have stablecash on bitcoin - completely interoperable with the lightning network.

Share your lightning address or invoice to receive dollars. Paste a lightning address or invoice to send dollars.

Boardwalk Cash connects to any nostr client via NWC. Zap dollars on nostr apps like  nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg or on Discord with our Zap Bot.

This is a very early product and there are not many public mints, so use at your own risk. Yet, we’re excited to show some of what ecash and nostr can offer for advancing #bitcoin payments.

https://m.primal.net/IGht.png


Yes, that's on our to-do list. 🫡


We are aiming to improve media uploads, including adding video upload support, plus a few smaller fixes. The app should then be complete and stable enough that we can call it v1.0 with a straight face. 🙂

But we won't stop there; lots more to come. Let us know if you have any suggestions.


Primal Android users: we have a new build ready for you (0.99.4). Here’s what’s in it:

- Visual polish: we fine-tuned the feed rendering as well as the various app chrome elements

- Activating the image viewer is now smoother

- The sporadic user search crash should be fixed

We did these improvements for the upcoming 1.0 release, but decided to make them available right away.

Enjoy!

Agreed, that would be a nice improvement. We are planning to implement it in the future.


Sorry, don't know what you mean by "forked notes".


please email support per the message in the app and somebody will help you with that tomorrow.


hmm... it should. shift+reload?


you are wrong. primal mobile apps work the same way as damus/amethyst. our web app relies on the browser extension just like most other nostr web apps.


on mobile apps: side menu / sign out.

on the web app we simply use the active account in your browser extension.


The App Store is a black box. They enforce their rules somewhat arbitrarily. It's often hard to know why exactly something was denied or approved.

IMHO it might make sense to try and see if it goes through. We are preparing to give it another shot in the coming weeks to see if we can get NWC deployed on Primal for iOS.


Growing an open protocol takes time 🌱 so much time it may seem like it's at a standstill, people may get impatient, that's ok.  Nostr will still b there and growing.

Many things still to fix and build before nostr can onboard a million users and expect them to stick.  Many of these things are known and being worked on.  Anyone who is here now is helping this process and I think that's awesome. 🫡💎


If not nostr, then what?


A Saturday morning confession.
I am not in sales. I actually really despise the traditional salesman techniques.
I don’t like to ‘shill’ products, I’ve always believed if the product is awesome, people will hear about it and it will sell itself.
I’ve been feeling like a shiller of nostr.build accounts for a while now, and this was never my intention on nostr. I always just wanted to shitpost and help grow the nostr community.
With that said, media is very expensive to host and manage, and nostr.build now hosts ~80%+ of nostr medi (1.5mil files /1.1TB and growing). The best way I can continue to help support nostr is to keep nostr.build strong. To do this I have to shill accounts since it is our only income..
We do have some killer features that I’m really excited about, so that makes it easier.
Please know, I just want to be a normal nostr and Bitcoin psychopath 💜


Hey  nostr:npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240, what Marko said above is correct: you can pay lightning invoices or send to any lightning address using Primal Wallet.

HOWEVER, we do have a known bug in our iOS app where if you scan a lightning invoice of zero sats, the app doesn't give you an option to enter the amount. I presume this is what you ran into.

Should be fixed in the next public build.


Appreciate the thought, but I think your sats are probably better spent on Nostr content creators. Check out Highlighter, find some people whose content you like and support them by subscribing.

https://highlighter.com


Yes, we hear you. Implementing appearance settings (incl. font size) is on our to-do list. Thanks for the feedback!


See you there!

✨ Announcing the release of Cashu.me – a Cashu wallet for the web! ✨

Cashu.me is a Chaumian Ecash wallet for Bitcoin built as a progressive web app (PWA). Today, we're excited to announce its first release and would like to thank all developers and users who have helped to build and improve this wallet. Cashu.me is free and open-source software released under the MIT license.

https://m.primal.net/IFMf.jpg

To get started, open Cashu.me in your browser and install it to add it to your home screen. We recommend to use your device's native browser for the best experience. Beware that Ecash is a bearer asset which means that if you delete your browser data or lose access to your device without a proper backup (see below), you will lose your funds. Use this wallet only for small spending amounts.

New Features

Countless new features for this release give you the best possible Ecash experience. We're bringing this ancient crypto technology back into the 21st century and present you a modern interpretation of the original cypherpunk vision - built on Bitcoin.

At a glance

- Modern UI
- Support for Bitcoin and USD
- Seed phrase backups
- Animated QR codes
- Intelligent coin selection
- Send Ecash offline
- Receive Ecash offline
- Lock Ecash with P2PK
- Discover mints via Nostr
- Swap Ecash between mints
- Remote control with NWC

https://m.primal.net/IFMh.jpg

https://m.primal.net/IFMj.jpg

Read the full release notes here: https://gist.github.com/callebtc/67da3f586ef273df80bf679e464bc3f3

You can host the wallet on your own server. Find the images on Dockerhub or build it yourself with the GitHub repository
https://github.com/cashubtc/cashu.me


Thanks; will do.


Which wallet are you connecting to? We are going to try to reproduce this issue.

Also, what do you mean by "feeds resetting"? Are you referring to the default feed when you start the app?


We are going to make another attempt at getting NWC through iOS app store approval. Wish us luck. It would be great to have self-sovereign options on both platforms.


Primal for Android build 0.99.2 has just been released. Here is what we have for you:

- Note editor: user tagging UI (finally!)
- Smart user selection list (remembers recent selections)
- NWC: support for custom external wallet connections

Users who wish to use external wallets for zapping now have more options on Primal for Android. Any wallet that supports NWC should be interoperable with Primal. Please try this feature and let us know if you run into any issues.
