It wouldn't be very hard. Once I'm not plagued with other bugs/issues/refactors I'll look at it. 

 First time for everything 

 Good to hear. 

 Aw man, where are my backups... 😯 

 People should do is say it here, and then post just a nostr link on X (maybe to some web-based nostr client).  People on X will need to follow that link to view the post. 

 If that is true, then I would just put the [nostr : nevent1...] text that isn't even recognized as a link. People will be like "WTF?" and have to do some research to figure out what it means and how to use them.  Just an idea. 

 Wow them is a lot of backslashes. 

 This one by PABLO has an unreal number of backslashes

 I used to backpack in Desolation Wilderness around Lake Tahoe, let's estimate I spent 20 days there over my lifetime.  And I saw a bear just once, at a distance, and he wasn't interested in me.

OTOH in Yellowstone in the 1970s I saw black bears many times, just walking on the roadside or wherever.

It entirely depends on which 'woods' you are in. 

 Grazing shots are very common. I've shot around a thousand rabbits, and I think about 20% of those shots were grazing shots. 

 I don't rule it out, so I agree with you.

But I think the kinds of reasoning people go through that leads them to even speculate such a specific thing happened absent evidence is flawed due to a lack of considering Bayesian priors.

Take the fist pump. People see that as evidence that Trump wanted a photo-op. But my Bayesian priors are that (1) Trump will always fist pump, and (2) If someone on a stage falls down and is ok, they will signal to the crowd that they are ok. Given these priors, this 'fact' gives NO weight to the theory.

Take the flag in the photo. People see the flag in the image as evidence Trump wanted a photo-op. But my Bayesian priors are that Trump rallys are so heavily plastered in flags, that it is hard to point a camera in any direction and not have a flag in the shot. Given this prior, this fact gives NO weight to the theory.

As for explaining the 'blunder' of missing, when good snipers never miss at 100 yards, you can consider that people were calling out the sniper to the security, yelling about him, and he probably felt rushed.  And anyone would be nervous knowing this might be their last few moments.  So while a calm sniper can take that shot, a nervous 20 year old who is being called out probably doesn't have the nerves of steel required to make the shot.  Also Trump turned his head at the last minute (that mattered by half-an-inch, it wouldn't have mattered if it was a good shot though). 

 1. I live in a farm area where rabbits had gotten to plague levels. They eat the grass, leaving less for the stock animals. So culling them helps local industry and keeps my sheep fed.
2. hunting rabbits allows me to "touch grass", get outside, get exercise.
3. It also exercises my dog, and is a bonding experience with the dog.
4. The dog eats the rabbits so I save on dogfood.

If they dog didn't eat these rabbits, she'd eat purchased meat which is also the flesh of a killed animal, so that choice doesn't avoid killing.

Of course it isn't very nice for the rabbits. But they are such simple creatures with such evil looking pure black eyes that I'm OK with it.  But I still hate it when they don't die right away. 

 There are plenty of other people who were there. Someone like Revolver News will probably do some investigative reporting. 

 I'm sure you are being sarcastic. But truth is, I actually don't know.

I can think of many reasons not to like him: narcissism, lying, all image no substance, various policies you may not like. But none of those should rise to the level of hate.

I understand why people hate Netanyahu - for slaughtering innocent civilians with abandon.
I understand why people hate Fauci - for making them lockdown, wear masks, and inject an experimental treatment or lose their job.
But what did Trump do that calls for hatred?

I don't understand why some people love him either.

IMHO people who hate Trump are the brainwashable kind of people, and they hate him because the left-wing power politicians programmed them to.  And what I've learned is how many people are the brainwashable kind... more than I thought. 

 They didn't have enough gun control, ma'am.  You were right.  We need more gun control. 

 'a' and I'm kinda suprised it hadn't happened sooner. 

 The only question that remains: what will you do with it? 

 Very interesting. Yes, I think rate limiting on both sides is necessary.

This is an excellent fuzzing method.

I tried running chorus and hitting it with this attack from a local process.  For about 100,000 bytes (in 0.031 seconds) chorus handles and prints all the errors, generally being JSON parse errors.  Then a bug is hit and I get a thread panic (chorus main thread continues, only that one connection is dropped)

Also chorus has mechanisms to drop connections and block IPs based on too many errors coming in, but for some reason these didn't work against this.

This is Sunday I wasn't going to do dev work today, but this is too interesting. 

 Hah, fixed both of those already. Easy fixes.

Gossip will need more work though. 

 We are waiting for transformer parts to arrive. We ordered them via USPS and they should arrive in a week or two.  Until then we vape. 

 We just got word that the manufacturer is out of stock. The last parts were sent to Ukraine. And they are in a regional COVID lockdown so they can't make more. 

 I've been staring at this for hours and I cannot figure out why it is stuck at 259/619 and won't finish compiling. You should file a bug report. 

 just installed. 

 If there was a paid formal legal opinion from a respected US law firm about what a nostr client could safely do while clearly avoiding any of the financial regulations, I would trust that.  So if anybody thinks this stuff isn't over any kind of line, and if someone wanted to fund such a legal opinion, that is a way you could convince me to code it. 

 Yes I know, and it is those totalitarian states I'm trying to negotiate peace with. 

 geez!  I'm glad you weren't on an airplane. 

 Courts look favorably upon people who all along were taking steps to be within the law. So even if the speculation in it was wrong, it would likely have a big impact on any legal outcome.

I don't think nostr can be successfully construed as a money transfer system. I won't code for this thing and then hopefully I'll be just as liable as the company that made the disk drive that hosted the piece of data but had zero intention of facilitating money transfer... that is, not liable. 

 This is an interesting idea.

I find files on webservers are more reliable and die less soon than torrents which often disappear quite quickly (no peers). But maybe this is a consequence of there not being good backing of those torrents (as you say there is support for primary HTTP sources).

I think someone should put webtorrent into a client (can't be that hard) and experiment with it.

 I've read this note three times now and I still don't understand what it means. 

 A node (client or relay) that doesn't upgrade will see these as broken invalid events. The signature will not match the pubkey field.

In the current NIP-26, at least the events are valid and people can see them, they just don't have a clear association between the signer and the delegator.

So I think this is a worse experience for nodes that don't upgrade.

If every node upgraded it would be fine, but I'm not sure it would be better. Both ways of doing it require code to update either it's signature verification or it's method of associating an author, neither being a harder ask IMHO.

BTW the delegation proof doesn't have to be replicated in every event if we wanted to save space, it could be a separate event. 

 I want my master key offline, and per-device signing keys online. That isn't centralization.

And I cannot do that with NIP-46 where the bunker has to be online.

The only solutions to provide this that I can conceive of are major breaking changes.

My keypair has leaked all over the place and it is only by the grace of god that people haven't noticed and posted as me.  But as of today there is almost zilch I can do about it. 

 Why can't I publish a key schedule event to my outbox relays, created and signed offline by my master key, that says that some device key is now revoked? 

 I see that it would have to be the master key.  *grumble grumble hrumph* 

 Yes.

I haven't changed email providers or DNS providers in years. Once nostr settles down, changing relays will be a rare enough thing that requiring the master key to do it doesn't seem overly onerous to me. 

 My entire life, ever since 1970, I think I have fasted at least 12 hours per day.  That's the time between the end of dinner (7pm latest) and the start of breakfast (7am earliest). Generally I've eaten dinner at 4-5pm though.

And I am overweight with metabolic syndrome.

For me to get any kind of measurable improvement I have to fast for at least 16, maybe 18 hours per day, something like breakfast at 11am and dinner at 4pm. 

 They are busy doing photo ops 

 Correct, he told the top one.  Who told the bottom one? 

 ding! 

 I'm thinking of javascript clients in web browsers as we have today. They can't do wireguard. I don't even think they can do DNS lookups.

Also wireguard isn't going to protect anybody's IP address. VPNs work only by virtue of mixing a bunch of people into the same IP address and adding an extra hop.

I've looked into WebTransport, abusing HTTP/2, and other alternatives over QUIC and I think that websockets is still the best choice.

As for every client being a relay, please elaborate. What does this bring us? 

 This is mind blowing 

 I believe you 

 Fuck. I meant Betamax. 

 I almost want to reply with a pic ... but I'm not sure everybody in the pic wants the particular picture to become public.

So just imagine that instead of a sheep it is four scantily clad girls, and instead of entrails it is bead necklaces, and instead of sackcloth I am wearing ... um ... let's say kooshball underwear 

 Fine.  Kettle is hot.  Do you take milk? sugar? 

 There is a far bigger problem than what you have highlighted:  People are building so many crazy-idea apps on top of a fundamental nostr layer which still has problems and still needs breaking changes. And now that they have, if we break those fundamentals everybody's houses of cards fall down.  And so IMHO all the rapid adoption is the thing that will probably kill nostr.  Far too much built on top of a still flimsy foundation that is now unable to be fixed.  I wrestle with this dilemma in my dreams at night, tossing and turning, considering all the ways to make subkeys happen and how every single one breaks something deeply, etc.

The issues in your OP are smallish bug/features that can very easily be solved by comparison. Amethyst can become less complicated (by automating things or something I dunno), and can add ability to tag somebody, and primal can add ability to block somebody. These are stupid simple problems that just haven't happened yet. I think your expectations of how things should already be are very high. 

 First, I shouldn't have said "need" that is too strong of a word. Nostr can keep going without breaking changes.

And in part I'm speaking in the abstract based on experience, based on the number of breaking changes that have happened so far and their approximate rate.

But I think some of the big things below app level are subkeys (for an offline masterkey) through something like a slightly modified NIP-26, binary events over websocket binary, something like negative filters or negentropy (specifics to be worked out), some kind of better relay usage for the many basic usages that actually exist (Vitor is working on that), ... that is off the top of my head.
 

 I'm just one guy with one eccentric view on this that I probably overstated.  But yes I think we are breaking it now, little by little at least. 

 As I understand it, he ran around in circles and then threw himself down a staircase. He was a public servant and worked long hours. 

 Very nice. 

 Write a client and send any stream of bytes you wish to any machine you wish.  Now ask yourself the question, who controlled you?  Whatever the answer to that question is, that is the answer to your question. 

 Apparently you want to control the protocol.  But no, you cannot tell me what to do with my client.  GFY. 

 EVERY VOICE means every voice that I was hearing about this topic.  All conversations I had encountered about this topic led me to believe nobody supported it except gossip and nobody planned to support it.  So because all I ever heard was negative, and it was hard to maintain, I took it out.

Every voice most definitely does not mean I speak for every voice.

Please take your medicine. 

 There are zero logical connections between each step in your thinking.  This is a sign of psychosis or mania.  I'm serious:  take your medicine. 

 Reticulum looks very cool. What would need to be changed to support it? How much breakage? Would you be tunnelling IP over it?  I don't really know anything about it.
