Does CEO of Nostr has contact for CEO of Bitcoin?

Got question or two..


My wife got on the hook by a scammer today! She’s not a technophobe by any means, so it’s quite unsettling. Here’s what happened…
She received email asking if she would like to be interviewed on a podcast of a well known “influencer”, about her business and her expertise.
Over a series of emails a time gets booked for a Zoom pre-call to go over the schedule for the interview the next day.
Zoom link gets sent, which my wife clicks on, the link does open Zoom application on computer and my wife waits, the application says “host has been notified and will join soon”. She does not enter any login credentials, the application looks to be actual Zoom app.
But after 30 min of waiting, host never joined.
Then she tells me what happened and I investigate, finding out this has happened to others.
I read through the correspondence between her and scammer, first email says they will remunerate her for her time.
For scammer to not get on the call, I’m wondering why they didn’t take the next step? And was the next step to get her on the call and try to somehow get her to divulge her bank details so they can “pay”her? I have previously listened to the nostr:npub1kkexr9d6lgtmd37tuqgqk2gcas79u95vun6qxd77wm6swt70qjnsek7348 social engineering calls, it gives me chills how persuasive they are…
Or have they somehow been able to access the computer in the 30 min she was waiting in the lobby of the call with the application open? I’m 80% sure the application is the real Zoom.
If they did get access to the computer, what could they have gotten, and what should I do from here?
This is a fantastic example where the Nostr Web of Trust would have stopped this in its tracks, as my wife could have checked if the podcast “manager” was indeed connected to the high profile influencer via WOT, which couldn’t be faked.
If we are possibly still vulnerable please advise!


I put them into boiling water and no issue. Egg quality makes a huge difference also.


Is it possible to delete your own note yet on Nostr?
If it’s your own created note, I believe you should be able to edit/delete.


I hear ya! Being luke warm about something won’t get you very far.


Here’s something that stresses me on Damus… when I tap on a note reply, to see what the replies are to that reply, to then go back, it jumps to home feed instead of going back one step.
So I find myself hesitant to tap, because I hate having to try and find the original note again when I’ve been sent to updated home feed that has since had new notes. Hope that makes sense.


Thanks for the explanation, I love this idea… reminds me of how group chats are so clunky IMO, multiple 1:1 conversations going on between individuals, but everyone is getting notified and it’s all disjointed in a single feed. Too much noise and inefficient, there has to be a better way.


Lots to explore on nostr!!! https://www.nostrapps.com/

Great episode! The only question I have about an anarchist society is how are property rights enforced/maintained against bad actors?


nostr:npub12rv5lskctqxxs2c8rf2zlzc7xx3qpvzs3w4etgemauy9thegr43sf485vg what are the benefits of a business running an eCash mint for its customers? I heard you mention it on nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx nostr:npub10atn74wcwh8gahzj3m0cy22fl54tn7wxtkg55spz2e3mpf5hhcrs4602w3 podcast with Amazon as the example, but I didn’t quite understand.


nostr:npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev I’m fairly sure Mutiny Wallet allow for this. Worth looking into further.


A Cashu gateway is a Cashu user who uses their own Lightning node to offer anonymous services for anyone on the same mint.

You give me ecash and I make a Lightning payment for you. Everything is atomic. Nobody needs to know this ever happened.

Cypherpunk cryptoanarchy is now.


Your name! 🤣😂 #[3]


Jb55 named his app as in Nostra”damus”…


The hardest part in such a consumerist society is for people to stay solvent. Most become forced sellers because they buy dumb shit.

Relays cannot communicate with each other, only to clients AFAIK.


I too would like to know this… I would guess you would need to have set the same relay that they post to.


Check Astral has recommended relays active. I assume it has a recommended list like Damus does. But I’m guessing.


From way back in Damus early days, many block confirmations ago, @jb55 said the like button would become an automatic LN tip, if memory serves me correctly.


Hidden in plain sight, I like it!


If you offer 20% discount if they buy with BTC, people may go to the effort of figuring it out! “Incentives” lol.


Awesome! Yes this would be game changer, stop the spam and make a person really think about whether they really need to email you. My business runs on email marketing though, so not sure how I feel about it from that side of the fence…


I like it!


Wow, this is where being able to favourite a note for later reference would be super handy!


How do you test a seed phrase works without risking divulging the seed phrase online?


There’s also a difference between generic ads and specific ads that are actually relevant and useful for users.
Historically the only way to serve relevant ads has been to track and observe behaviours and interests at the expense of privacy.
Nostr may introduce clients and relays specific to interests and niches that relevant ads get served on, which would be a win for advertiser, client, relay and user… perhaps 🤔 #[1]


Fiatjaf has a real skill of cutting through noise and simplifying. Can see it in all his work.

Can you do it at Damus.io/key ?


wtf #broken


Posting videos is going to cost more for example, so maybe it’s deciding how an app is going to charge for that. Directly from poster, or from advertising, or something else? Sharing that revenue with relay operators


Is that meant to be normal UX? Seems like a bug to me.
