I can't say for certain. I would guess not due to him being elitist. When he talks about his time on usenet, he refers to the time when it was exclusive as when it was best.

I think he wants or wanted as many barriers to entry as possible to keep the user base as elite as possible.

Interestingly enough, urbit uses ethereum.


Isn't there a recipe site built on nostr?


I think the best advice I saw regarding nostr was from nostr:npub18ams6ewn5aj2n3wt2qawzglx9mr4nzksxhvrdc4gzrecw7n5tvjqctp424 . Follow a lot right away, then curate from there.

The plebstr client makes it very easy, as you can open someone else's profile, view their follows and click follow all.


Likewise. Thanks for sharing what you are up to! I find stuff like this inspires me to stay focused on learning.

I would love to eliminate plastic completely from my kitchen. There are many glass or metal alternatives to plastic. However, one thing I have not found for is plastic bags, for marinating or just storing left overs.

I know I can use glass tuperware, but sometimes I need a bag.


It's going decently. Yesterday was pretty inspirational for me on Nostr, so I'm riding that wave.

I hope you feel better soon.

Interestingly enough, pure H20 isn't necessarily ideal. Especially for drinking water. Some minerals are good to have in your water.

Calcium, magnesium for example.


Distilled water rabbit hole in full effect.

What is distilled water you ask?

Distilled water is water that has been boiled into vapor. Then it gets condensed back into liquid in another container.

This process seperates water from impurites.

Take your tap water, your tap water might have different things in it like flouride, iron, other minerals, micro plastics!!

Distillation is a way to produce pure H20

Also I suspect that the Bitcoin will ultimately NOT fix "this" and will have negative outcomes in ways that can't be predicted.

Don't get be wrong, I want BTC to succeed. I want it to become everything people dream of.

I just think that the answer isn't as simple as: if you just do x, implement x, remove x, add x then everything else will fall into place.


I have an undergrad. It's kind of hard for me to explain why I want to make the change.

In short, I don't think most technology is good and is, counterintuitively, harmful to human flourishing.

How many phones do you possess and use regularly?


Does anyone use emulators for gaming?


How many relays do you subscribe to?

Hobbs & Shaw is somehow 2 hrs + long. I can feel my brain cells dying.


How has Fast & Furious gone on this long?


I don't know if there is a correlation, but ever since I started to use NOSTR, I can't help but notice how poisonous almost all Internet activities/sites are.


I'm still trying to understand relays. Couldn't a relay be dedicated to aggregating keys, and then performing analysis on it. Like classify content?

This way, getting "algos" is possible, but completely optional?


Can confirm, I only follow a handful and this is the case. I'm starting over from 0 though. My old key I had more.


Sad thing for me is sometimes I'm the negative person in that equation. Question is, is it because I'm the bad egg, or have I been around other bad eggs and become like them  (you are an average of the people you surround yourself with)

I have been trying hard to stop being negative, I'm a work in progress.

Are there any games built on NOSTr?


I watched The Predator today (the film was made in 2018). It was not good. Here is an example of how laughably bad it was:

Early in the film, one of bad guys that isn't the predator speculates (with a significant amount of confidence) that the predators are harvesting human DNA to splice into their own so they can move to earth after humans go extinct in two generations because of global warming.

I laughed out loud.

It's a sad reminder that most modern films are nothing more than the "current thing" propaganda.

I wager that this has always been the case in some way, but it has never been so obvious as it has in the last 10 years.


I can't remember who posted it, but fairly recently someone opined that Nostr should focus on serving the need of their current userbase. Which are predominantly Bitcoiners (I don't have figure, but this seems to be the case to me).


Would it be possible to somehow encode the list of relays into some sort of hash (not the word I am looking for, as I currently understand hashes are one way)


Merry Christmas.

I know I should stop making assumptions and pretending to know other people's minds.

Although I don't feel it is a stretch to think that my experience will be similar to others.


I don't think a lot of people are ready to be on a network where they aren't the product. Some times on here I feel at a loss because I am not being spoon-fed stuff to consume. It such a weird feeling.

I'm getting better, but there is a definite adjustment period.

I probably would've gone through this faster if I had stayed on here for the entirety of the year.


It's sane. I think on every level. Protocol to People (usually, I have been fortunate to not encounter many loons, if any, so far)

Would it be possible to build a client AND relay that run on a handheld device? Built on an esp32 or Raspberry Pi Zero?


A relay that is a relay for other relays?

NVK recently mentioned an idea on the Thank God for Nostr podcast about a relay that was also a client.


A relay that offers a premium sub. Subscribers get priority for note retrieval?

I am probably not understanding completely the tech.

I don't know how people feel about the ethics of that.


The thing I do like about social media / nostr is that you can review yourself and notice how much of a shithead you've been.

If I have been a shithead to you: I am sorry. I will do better.

Well something like this. Web based clients have web torrent. There must be other libraries for other languages.

Did some research. I do thinks this is very possible. But it wouldn't rely on NOSTr as much as I was thinking.

It looks like clients can use web torrent to facilitate this:

Sweet, I played with Flatpak on a laptop with OpenSUSE today after I posted. Was pretty easy to get started, and a lot of the apps I use all have flatpaks so that is a big plus.

Also looked at Fedora and will play around with it.


Is it possible to stream video with nostr? Like you could load videos to multiple relay, And the you could grab parts of video from multiple relays. Kind of like how torrents work?


Have you played with snaps at all? If so, why did you choose flatpak over snap?


Damn dude, NOSTR is bringing the encouragement and positivity today.

To be fair, I don't consider myself a bitcoiner. Mostly because I actively avoid being part of groups.

I do share a lot of values and interests with them though. FWIW.
