i have this feeling that websockets are too expensive compared to the benefit they give for a chat app

but i havent tested it yet, like what would be the scalability issues with serving million users via http polling vs wss

why are websockets better for fetching nostr notes than http reqs?

somebody said interactivity but most of the time users are just passive consumers

if u doing good in life make sure to lift up people around you

life is better when you share the success


but would it have glossy apple on the back??

i thought so


by truth you mean ability to see the original message, right?


really bad take. because this implies desire to have immutable thing. but nostr doesnt provide such thing. you cant rely on on relays not lying to you. i mean how many clients verify signatures.

and even if they did, relays can also NOT SHOW you some stuff. not even lying per se. they can just not show edits


no it isnt. relays can just lie and if client doesnt verify signature (which they probably dont), its essentially unauthed content

actually sir u misspelled “macbook” by writing “bitcoin” :D

buy macbook, build good stuff, earn more than just hodling


litecoin is great for shopping for huge items on eshops that have crypto payment gateway

> fast blocks (2.5min)
> no address reuse (eth, solana, tron)
> dirt cheap (<$0.01)
> no need to worry about channel capacity and routing fees

and going eth tokens/monero —> litecoin for purchase is a great strategy

id urge you to consider experimenting with other cryptos if they cant solve your specific problem better than bitcoin (not talking about sound money)

dogma and religion isnt productive.

Copying is not theft.
Stealing a thing leaves one less left
Copying it makes one thing more;
that’s what copying’s for.

Copying is not theft.
If I copy yours you have it too
One for me and one for you
That’s what copies can do.

If I steal your bicycle
you have to take the bus,
but if I just copy it
there’s one for each of us!

Making more of a thing,
that is what we call “copying”
Sharing ideas with everyone
That’s why copying
is
FUN!

I've been waiting to see this happen for so long (pic 1 is from an old presentation) – now suddenly there are two proof of concepts (pic 2) that use bitcoin-denominated ecash to incentivize onion-routing on nostr.

The future probably doesn't require shitcoins.

*** and this isnt what  nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg 's caching relay does really.

iirc it just caches the results that you have already gotten from different wss-based relays.


somebody knowledgable about #DATUM and  nostr:npub1qtvl2em0llpnnllffhat8zltugwwz97x79gfmxfz4qk52n6zpk3qq87dze mining pool, please

so DATUM makes it so that each individual miner can select which transactions get into the box

OCEAN is as a pool against ordinals inscriptions and Runes

but DATUM should prevent censorship from pool's side, so if miner using DATUM decides to include ordinals, will  nostr:npub1qtvl2em0llpnnllffhat8zltugwwz97x79gfmxfz4qk52n6zpk3qq87dze censor it and go DIRECTLY AGAINST their own supposed censorship-resistance mining protocol?


somebody should probably make relay aggregator service

like it has predefined set of relays and fetches on the backend and provides simple network traffic to clients

sure this leads to centralization but lots of different people could do it

fetching from 10 relays at the same time and using websockets feels inefficient


wouldnt http requests be more efficient than websockets??

like websites have long before this figured out how to use graphql for exotic queries and most of those aren't even that special for nostr clients, like GET 20 posts for your feed from couple of relays

WSS are really weird for me in this context

can somebody more experienced explain please?

nostr has no global source of truth, and that is a good thing

Out of interest, I follow the progress of a lot of other projects similar to nostr, and a couple links surfaced today:

BlueSky has a big "firehose" connection that streams all updates (new posts, reactions, etc) to subscribers. Unsurprisingly, this is difficult to process except on beefy servers with lots of bandwidth. So, one proposed solution is to strip out all that pesky cryptography (signatures, merkle tree data, etc): https://jazco.dev/2024/09/24/jetstream/

And over on Farcaster, keeping their hubs in sync is too difficult, so they want to make all posts globally sequenced, like a blockchain. The details are still being worked out, but I think it's safe to assume there will be a privileged global sequencer who decides on this ordering (and possibly which posts are included at all): https://github.com/farcasterxyz/protocol/discussions/193

In my opinion, both of these issues are symptoms of an underlying errant philosophy. These projects both want there to be a global source of truth: A single place you can go to guarantee you're seeing all the posts on a thread, from a particular user, etc. On BlueSky that is https://bluesky.app and on Farcaster that is https://warpcast.com .

Advocates of each of these projects of course would dispute this, pointing out that you could always self-host, or somehow avoid depending on their semi-official infrastructure, but the truth is that if you're not on bluesky.app or warpcast.com, you don't exist, and nobody cares that you don't exist.

nostr has eschewed the concept of global source of truth. You can't necessarily be sure you are seeing everything. Conversations may sometimes get fragmented, posts may disappear, and there may be the occasional bout of confusion and chaos. There is no official or semi-official nostr website, app, or relay, and this is a good thing. It means we are actually building a decentralised protocol, not just acting out decentralisation theatre, or pretending we'll get there eventually and that the ends justify the means.

Back when computers were primitive and professional data-centres didn't exist, it was impossible to build mega-apps like Twitter. Protocols had to be decentralised by default -- there was simply no other way. We can learn a lot by looking back to protocols of yesteryear, like Usenet and IRC, and still-popular protocols like email and HTTP. None of these assume global sources of truth, and they are stronger and better for it, as is nostr.


hey frens, is there a website that allows viewing content as a profile from particular npub?

at some point bitcoin should be perceived as boring, because its money and you dont usually talk about money, you do other stuff and just pay and account for stuff in it


okay all of this talk about its not just social media

but most of you purple people write texts and post pics like on twitter here

and so for sure it can be used as protocol for other things, but mostly twitterless twitter and therefore “i dont use social media” stands correct

btw on the note of preferring Telegram over signal, the problem is Telegram isn't end-to-end encrypted and even secret chats have provably broken encryption.

So, with Signal no-one can read your messages except the other person

But with Telegram, the Telegram company can read them in "plaintext" and also government agencies that request it.

So while you might be suspicious of some mythical potential vulnerability in signal, you DEFINITELY can KNOW that Telegram is insecure in sense that your messages are visible to them.  nostr:npub1q33jywkl8r0e5g48lvrenxnr3lw59kzrw4e7p0cecslqzwc56eesjymqu0

yes, with something like twitter you can be sure public won't see it after you delete it, given that you were quick to delete it after posting (by mistake) and it wasn't that 'breaking news' for someone to screenshot it right away

it would be great to see effort and commitment of relays to respect deletion,

BUT

simplex blog about disappearing messages had a good point: with email you own email, when somebody sends it to you, it would be weird if they could remotely delete it from your computer. same with messages. if you are sovereign, how does someone else's ability to delete stuff from your machine play with it?

nostr:npub1exv22uulqnmlluszc4yk92jhs2e5ajcs6mu3t00a6avzjcalj9csm7d828 solved it by both parties having to decide if there is such thing as 'delete for anyone' in their chat, as somebody might've sold you some digital content and then they delete it?

CHAT WITH THAT THANG


this is insane, lightning getting crazy good stuff!

ive just found out that Green wallet from blockstream now has another feature, experimental, you can enable "lightning account" and that will connect to Blockstream's Greenlight node and set it up as your self-custodial lightning wallet.

tl;dr greenlight node is operated by blockstream, but cryptographically ensures that only you can spend your bitcoin there, they shouldnt have ability to rug you, while they take care of everything - great

my findings:

setup is more expensive than phoenix: setup fee was around 2.3%, while phoenix only takes 1%

sending is 2x cheaper than phoenix: sending ln payments is with 0.2x%, while phoenix takes mandatory 0.4%

while phoenix has good features and is pioneer in the self-custodial mobile lightning space, they also charge a lot for their services.

aqua wallet creates abstraction over lightning, so everything is lightning <-> liquid swap, you hold liquid.

83,333sats payment is the limit where sending payments through @PhoenixWallet is cheaper than swapping (via @AquaBitcoin) from liquid through @Boltzhq to lightning.

while receiving, always receive LN to liquid, when you intend to send onchain. (as peg-outs through @Sideswap can be as cheap as 0.1%). this is compared to scenario where you would receive to phoenix and then send to aqua to then pegout through sideswap.

people who open < 1M sats lightning channels...

WHYYYYY


it was a joke about high fee environment.

regarding lightning channels, its best to open a big channel "once" and then use it and have bigger capacity for payments.

because otherwise a small channel gets filled up really quickly and you would need another ones to open.

100k sats is about $70 which is really nothing.

id recommend at least 1,000,000 sats channels, when you open them.

so send at once a big sum of money, then once channel is opened you can send a portion out and enjoy big capacity

Did you ever stop and *really* think about what it means to "do a Satoshi Nakamoto"?

Context for my weird question: I have met many, many bitcoiners over the years. Many of them take a stab at keeping privacy by doing some combo of: not revealing name, not revealing location, not revealing face. Etc. So often, if I happen to meet them in person, they end up revealing the things that they were hiding online. Quite literally a mask came off (pre covid!) once we started drinking - a simple, funny anecdotal example of what I mean. Many complain about photos being taken, many focus on always using a pseudonym. I'm sure most people reading recognize these patterns of behaviour.

I can see the purpose, up to a point, so this is not criticism. It's a little like me doing coinjoin "here and there" - you don't expect to defend yourself against a hyper powerful aggressor, only against a casual criminal looking for an easy score.

But if you do want *real* defence against *strong* attackers, you have a huge problem. These half-measures will be useless, perhaps worse than that, if you get overconfident, because the determined investigator only needs *one* strand to pull on, and the measures I describe above, which are almost always rules only half-stuck to anyway, don't cut it, at all.

Which brings me to my point: is it even possible to "go all the way"? Clearly it is; Satoshi Nakamoto is not the only person who's ever done it, but it's pretty damn rare at the very least.

Imagine what it would mean. If you are engaged in a serious project, that takes let's say at least a year's worth of full time work, then you are going to do that for no reward. Not just, no money, people do that quite often when it comes to things they genuinely enjoy, but no recognition, no social context, not even "oh I won't bother you because I know you're busy with that project". Nobody will say that because nobody will know. Imagine doing a full, intense 8 hour day of work (more likely, split over many days) and knowing that there will *never* be a direct reward of any form, for that. And then doing it again, and again.

What's more, you don't just "not get a reward". You have to do almost double the work, to ensure that at every step, every pushed commit or technical discussion, does not expose anything at the network trace level, or the language, vocabulary etc. Managing tricky pseudonym accounts, handling the headaches of Tor etc. I'm not trying to say it needs super-genius level tech skills, I'm trying to say it's a massive amount of effort.

Could you do that? I daren't even ask the question of myself, because I'm almost sure it's a no. But to *imagine* where that kind of motivation would come from, that's what fascinates me.

Let's think about the fact that Ethereum's TornadoCash is more censorship resistant than Bitcoin's Whirlpool. TornadoCash is smarts contract based, and still running today despite the devs being arrested 1 year ago.

If you say joinmarket 1 more time... Joinmarket does not even compare. What we need is an alternative ZeroLink coinjoin implementation that is decentralized from the start.


I am not 100% sure about the facts behind the Samourai Wallet “devs got arrested for money laundering” story.

Maybe they were involved in some shady stuff, maybe not. In any case, it is interesting how people spin this (overall very irrelevant) story… “not a good look for Bitcoin” - wtf - WHY? some asshole sells drugs for dollars, is that a bad look for the dollar?

I am also convinced that many terms, from “conspiracy theory” to “Nazi”, from “terrorist” to “money laundering” have been trivialized, extremely so, over the past years and are used in a way that has nothing to do with the actual meaning.

If the state stays the f out of peoples private money matters, there is no problem. If someone makes money doing seriously evil shit - investigate him for that evil shit, kill him, lock him up, whatever. If someone funnels billions into a corrupt banana republic to fight a disgusting proxy war, and a big part of that money is funneled back as bribes - hang em high.

Some dude sending half a bitcoin through a mixer because he won it at gambling and rightfully thinks he should be able to enjoy his luck - that is not a crime. Only in the minds of the parasitic scum that reserve the right to steal, mug, rob, kill only for themselves, not for the human cattle they rule.

Stop accepting their terms.

90% of “illegal” things are totally fine by natural law and common sense.
Develop a healthy sense of right and wrong, and act according to universal ethical standards.

But stop feeling bad if you have not KYCked yourself sufficiently or not given enough "proof" how those 13000 Sats in your  Lightning wallet were earned... It is none of their damn business, unless we allow it.


What happened to Samourai is as absurd as if Tim Cook went to jail for some terrorist using iPhone


this hits different now


let governments see it as they please.

i want people to know.


Privacy is normal and good.

There has been an effort among authorities to make “money laundering” and “financial privacy” the same thing. That is, the mere act of moving money privately itself becomes a crime. That’s not okay.

Money laundering is when money that is obtained through crime is concealed by obfuscating it with clean money. The actual crime is the initial non-financial crime (say, mob stuff), and historically money laundering involves manual activity to work with the criminals.

Now that open source tech can make certain transactions private, authorities increasingly equate all private money transfer with money laundering, even if the developer of the open source tech had no direct involvement with criminals. Authorities target them regardless, and sanction the technology itself. Financial privacy becomes synonymous with crime in their minds, and in the minds of the public.


PRIVACY IS A HUMAN RIGHT.


sure, one of the ways to live in this digital world.


if any tax man and/or officers from governments are reading these posts, please bear in mind that im not and its not even in my intention to explain how to do illegal things.

i very much respect the law and i think taxes are very good and everyone should pay them. every good citizen should tax every money event that they do and pay even more taxes than they are required to so that we can have roads and stuff.

i would never encourage anyone to do stuff that go against the law. thanks


but try to not link any identity to those addresses on eth/cosmos, as they are completely transparent


well for stablecoins, you also have options to hold them on some eth l2 like Arbitrum or Polygon - cheap and fast txs.

there's also option to live inside cosmos ecosystem, cosmos hub, osmosis or other chains inside it. liquidity pools provide cheap swaps.


[suggestion]
look at vexl.it app, it's p2p marketplace, that uses hash of your mobile number and hashes of numbers from contact list, to find buy/sell offers from people you know/ people from your contacts know.

everything is encrypted and private, until you choose to reveal identity in 1:1 chat.

satoshi labs, company behind 1st hardware wallet Trezor works on that. #p2pFTW

[are these swaps fungible?]
well it depends how far does the tax man want to look.

sideshift collects ip address, crypto addresses, times etc.. (so use good vpn that you pay for in monero or lightning (mullvad, ivpn, no shit like nordvpn)

they respond to law enforcement requests. so if tax man writes them email asking where they sent liquid bitcoin that was swapped from usdt erc20, they will tell on you.

if i had to bring some solution, i can say that if someone used exch.cx which is on belize and doesn't collect shit, and you can request deletion of a swap after its done, you could swap USDT on eth, to XMR , which renders any transactions beyond untraceable, and then you could swap this through them again to lightning.

or directly usdt eth to lightning. just be cautious and i cant recommend anything to you nor anyone, i can just point out what exists. be safe


i dont play this kyc fiat game, but please explain the following:

if someone pays my lightning invoice that originated from cash account, did *i BUY bitcoin* ?

if i pay someone lightning invoice from my CASH account, did *i sell bitcoin* ?

i wont participate and find out what tax man thinks, but im curious on your interpretation, thanks


okay so up until the point of swapping through sideshift it's trackable. sideshift however knows where it is sending liquid tether, and then if you're swapping it to l-btc, you're probably using sideswap, who also knows the input and output and they know it's "buying bitcoin" event. liquid to lightning to onchain - thats the part where its obvious it's bitcoin and not stablecoin.

your problem might be that they could potentially track your swaps through sideshift and sideswap, to learn you are buying bitcoin and not holding tether usd.

might be unprobable, but there's a chance. better to abandon kyc altogether.


the idea is i presume to deposit fiat from bank, and pay it out on your self-custodial lightning wallet as bitcoin.

but dont do this. buy peer-to-peer anonymously as satoshi intended in the spirit of cryptoanarchy.

i see your point and you are of course free to participate in any filtration you deem favorable.

however in the case of bitcoin blockchain it would be like with internet packets and you being some kind of router and cdn (with your node).

where packets of different content would pass through you and you could decide which you want to relay out.

because fundamentally almost none transactions are directed to you that are broadcaster and/or mined.


"we are the smartest and know everything and we should decide what is appropriate use of decentralised open timechain network!"


by this logic if i sent tokenized stablecoin using bitcoin blockchain, it wouldnt be considered "transfer of money"

i wonder if mobile nostr clients should instead of calling lots of relays, rather call just one app api that does the heavy work and provides the results for the mobile client.

this slightly deminishes client autonomy, but provides better performance and also battery savings for mobile devices.

Capitalism was invented by John Capitalism 200 years ago when he tried to buy stuff lower and then sell it higher.


sir, you seem to have done the very thing i was criticising -> being dogmatic and not providing any argument, just merely being vulgar.

do you have ANY ACTUAL ARGUMENT or are you just an NPC repeating stuff  you have no factual conviction of?


just to be completely honest. it isn't clear why such statement makes him a "scammer".

he made a statement where gold could be tokenized onto a blockchain, which could be done. tether already does it ( XAUT ).

and if you were to put it on some fast blockchain, like L2s on ethereum or in the cosmos ecosystem like on osmosis, it would of course be better in sense that it'd be faster and cheaper than currently transacting on bitcoin base-layer.

sure it wouldn't be as secure and decentralised as bitcoin is now on basechain, but that's not the topic of an argument.

please don't fall down to being dogmatic and taking everything from someone you don't like and labeling it as scam and waiting for others from your 'tribe' to clap you.

its not productive. explain why he's wrong. not just purely say he's idiot.

this but for also other open blockchains would be very helpful. might do it myself


you see thats where am not really sure how to approach this.

because on one hand you dont wanna be dictator who says what people can and cannot do on the protocol.

but on the other hand, you have to have some direction and people who fight for that in your protocol, so it doesnt fall into the wrong hands.

therefore i understand why putting data instead of purely monetary transactions into bitcoin can be bad for money sovereinghty, but also dont like the idea of someone deciding whats good and what isnt in this supposedly free money network.


ordinals, runes nor any uses of bitcoin are "shitting in the bed" imho.

its taking a tech and trying something out and then finding out users like it.

im not communist central planner nor god, to tell people what is and what isnt legitimate use of any neutral technology.


they fake lightning by onchain. because of "ux"????


im also in the circles of startups and one thing that is apparent to me is, that users dont care about the tech, but about the product.

use the most boring messy tech, but deliver good product and you have a chance to win.

also, you have to focus on customers from the beginning


are freedom cozy tools something we want to go mainstream?


one of my fav moments on #hcpp23, when stallman trashed clouds so much everybody laughed haha

"you give up freedom over your data"


you gotta spend money to make money haha


someone said "when you tell the truth, what happens next is the least bad reaction that would eventually happen"

and i try to live by that since


short cut. its modern.


i was today years old when i found out that you guys have integrated fedimint so seamlessly into the app


when you think about it, the whole tradfi is about custody. you always give someone money and trust them to take care of it on your behalf.

not many realise how big of a difference true crypto markets are. our products are based on self custody of our funds. or some scheme where you have some protocol based control over your funds. like trust minimised multisigs and so on.

so inconcievable for tradfi folks. owning one's own money.


Cashu Lightning gateways.

You're gonna say I sound like a crazy person but your non-custodial Lightning wallet on your phone could be a Cashu gateway that announces itself on nostr and pockets a fee for the service.

If you're willing to hold a custodial balance from an ecash mint.


shilling non free website o.o


they be like "what if we made lightning payments, but every single one went through onchain'


sure they can. this is really sad and restricting view on your life. that must be really baad to construct such a jail for your mind.

wish you realise soon that you are free now.


the antisocial network documentary that aired recently is a psyop


actually its better to put pngs in there. you get the full color quality


yeah, after its issued in batches, the transfer is quite cheap in terms of vB, its like a normal transaction.


Happy Halvening to those who celebrate.


blessed, my inscriptions went through in halving block 🙏happy 5th epoch nostriches


Needless to say, don't try to open channels for awhile. Use fedimint if you need to.


getting force-closed in 1,500sat/vB environment.. wouldnt wish on my worst enemy

While the dogs of war have yet again been let loose by state actors fuelled by easy money, others around the world — literally all around the world — are celebrating a different vision; one of hope, peace and putting power back in the hands of people. The #BitcoinHalving is an important event because of what it means for the onward march of #Bitcoin and #BTC as money with “rules, not rulers”…but it’s also an important moment and opportunity for us to come together around the world, as a species, under the banner of hope and abundance. Let’s dig in and make a better tomorrow a reality. #BitcoinNotWar

ok can you guys stop hashing


i can literally go on marketplace rn and buy rare sat and there are people who want to sell it to me and buy it from me

nostr:note10hg4v3e2m4tlqpq2t24c9svuggjchg295h67xhsr3yweq9vtqftsnpv7tr


bro its a software

you add stuff to it and make it better and make it do more stuff


you... ehm..

create stuff on it??


finally managed to get my own monero address tohrxyz@xmr.id

stacking those crypto addresses one by one


you may not like it, but ordinals are the hottest invention on bitcoin in years


haha nice cope

go on tell us more about how free market ideas make you angry


trying out primal client, looks nice.

what surprised me was the attempted kyc required for "activating a wallet"


few hours left until '420 blocks till halving'


you have to choose to be good to other humans


need to consult


i have idea for improving lightning routing

more details soon


not true necessarily. i know from developer standpoint that usage data is very useful.

it should be consentual and scope limited however


you dont know this.

but metaverse runs on javascript


fiat ngu shills took away cypherpunk from bitcoin and you are laughing


welcome to the good life https://image.nostr.build/7cd42e42d4bf3c2d4a4ffb44d82266a8657b023986f7b664421717cd487360ea.jpg


lets do an experiment.

mute "bitcoin" on nostr


feds spamming monero, yet it still works.

gonna have to try harder you fiat agents


he was never a hero. just another fiat boy trying to make money and you fell for him, because he told you ngu


never underestimate motivated anon


GN, but same spirit


what are you building today anon?


the guy who came up with an ancronym for (M)antle Staked (ETH)er deserves a big up


ordinals?


after a long time i came back to this open protocol.

proprietary networks hold bad energy in them


when on grapheneos, every app is non-tracking

i can literally install the biggest spyware and just disable network permission


no, they dont do any such thing.

everything in aqua is onchain or liquid chain.

when you pay lightning, you send on liquid chain to boltz.exchange and they swap to lightning. same for reverse.


great to hear sir


you know, when they report inflation is 10%, it means that it already happened. you lost that money.

sure, its great to obtain btc, but it doesnt help the current moment


is it tracking bolt12 as a whole or only "ln nodes supporting onion forwarding" ?


the idea of liquid backed channels and trustless bridges between those two aren't necessarily what aqua does.

they swap liquid chain into lightning.


idea: set daily budget for zaps and let it be streamed to posts you see


it also means you are limiting your options in order to minimize the risk exposure, but thats cost of it


Ive finally managed to finish “Cypherpunk visions and trends 2023-2025” from #[0] and Im astonished by the thoughts that went into it.
