Notes by Vitor Pamplona | export

 Not sure my #zaps are going through.. don't see them on notes (#Amethyst) 👀🥲 
 Zaps go to your public inbox relay. Make sure that relay is live and allows anyone to post into it. 
 Picture this:
1. You type on Google "laptop won't turn on"
2. Google now knows you have a broken laptop and can estimate how desperate you are to fix it.
3. Because it knows how desperate you are, it can increase shop prices proportionally. 

You are going to pay the maximum they get you to pay. 

That's algorithmic pricing. 

The more companies know about you, the more they can predict and sell how desperate you are to other stores out there. 

An internet-connected car knows much more about you than you realize. A smart TV also knows what you like. Your Alexa knows if there is a problem in the home. 

Privacy is much more than just sensitive data. 

It's about not giving leverage away. 

Because algorithms will use it against you.

Be safe out there. 
 It's already working on Uber and Lyft apps. Drivers are getting paid lower based on how desperate they are and users are getting billed higher by how desperate they are. 
 Just a test. 
 Very tested, much wow. 
 I ran Gentoo in my main machine for many years. Don't recommend. :) 
 Young me had plenty of time. :) 
 Some galleries are very triggering 😅

 MLS is a very clever solution to both groups and DMs.

 * If it works. 

I am still not convinced (spec assumes some services running that are quite centralizing in nature). We will see.

 Are people actually using NIP29? I only see dead spaces

 Even though many of these use "Android", it's their own highly customized version of the OS, because open source rocks. https://image.nostr.build/edc4d6433e6a8c51235c34eace7dc23a3b571be5fd07a639ab9ac7b547c2400a.jpg

 And don't forget that the free ntfy plan only sends a few notifications per day.  
 Yeah, ntfy doesn't send any warning after the free plan is over. It just doesnt deliver anything anymore. 

Also, their server is constantly too busy to receive new notifications. There are timeouts everywhere.  
 Nip04 only uses general with the messages enabled as it was the way to work in the outdated nip04. 

Nip-17, the gift wrap, is only sent to your DM inbox relays.  
 Also keep in mind that you can't reply with gift wraps if the receiver doesn't have DM relays listed.  
 Just loaded up an app codebase from 3 years ago. Nothing works and it barely compiles. 😅

Code is perishable. 
 Attention devs 🛠️ We're introducing "Developer Splits," a new feature where you can build an...

"If You're Not Embarrassed When You Ship Your First Version, You Waited... 
 There is always something to be embarrassed about.  
 Little things add up. Don't dismiss them. 
 We have several little projects to test the concept but very little public information yet. All based on this draft nip https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/357 
 Hum.. which server would you use to host the pdfs? 
 If they are following you, the Follow button turns into Follow Back :)  
 ohh I see 
 Are you using a portuguese keyboard or English?  
 Ohhh it's the language identification. Sometimes it fails and think it is Galician. :( 
 Noticed over the last couple of days I'm not getting zap receipts any more, so I hope those sats ... 
 From zapping other people or people sending zaps to you?  
 The receiver will try to send to your public inbox relays. They are not going to pay for an account on Eden, so you only have nostr.mom that works there. Maybe add another public relay to that section.  
 Why don’t you just say the truth? 
 You nip05 has been broken for months now. 😅 
 Would you create events from the feed? How would that work? Would it be just something to let your followers know that you are doing?  
 Is android studio the best as an external editor? I downloaded it and clicked vcs thingy and link... 
 Yeah, that's going to be hard. If you have an SVG for the logo you want, send me over that I can add the SVG to the project first. Then you can connect to the hashtag later :)  
 It's great to see OpenSats going outside of Bitcoin and Nostr with Tor and now WireGuard

 deve ser um post em particular que so aparece pra vc e eh super pesado 
 Has anybody onboarded friends/colleagues to your Alby Hub's via the friends and family app?

Would you add a friend to your hub/node if you are onboarding them to Nostr? 
 So, is your brother using your Node even today? 

Can he receive sats and zap just fine? 
 I am interested on a design to onboard new "family and friends" users with a complete lightning address + nwc connection out of the box, borrowing the alby hub account at the start and one-click spinning off from it into their own hub/node when they are ready. 

How much time are you putting on this? :) Do you want to collab?  
 What would be your dream process? I need ideas :)  
 They are not supposed to. :) 

It's same twitter does. You have to go back before navigating at the bottom again.  
 nothing humbles you like diarrhea  
 Wait for back pain.  
 Are you sending old events? Those seem to be replaceables that the app has newer versions for but the relay keeps sending old ones. Every time the relay sends, the app will reply with the updated version. 
 I openened several channels when starting my Alby Hub to test out multiple LSP providers. 

95% of your zaps came through Olympus by Zeus. All the others are rarely used. 

Why is that? Are their fees that much lower? 
 You are the LNServer_Wave? If so, I have a 6M sat channel with you, but it never gets used.

I don't think all my followers are using Zeus wallet. Something is off

 Not your relay, not your ecash.

 Spammers are blocked by default. You can disable it by either following them or disabling the filter in the security filters menu on the left drawer.  
 5+ completely equal event contents, with more than 50 chats (so "GM"s are not blocked).  
 I thought I'd never touch Maven, JARs and Java classpaths again... I was wrong. Thank you Android... 
 What are you doing?! Android should be Kotlin + Gradle... ??  
 Yeah, just go Android Studio. Everything else sucks.  
 ncryptsec1 produces different results with the same password in #Amethyst.  
 What do you mean? Different ncryptsecs? It should be different if you recreate.  
 They are. But they shouldn't be the same.  
 Sim, vc pode usar o listr.lol e criar uma lista com todos os seus follows de forma privada. O unico problema eh que vc tem que adicionar 1 a 1 na interface.  
 E questao de alguem fazer. Preciso de mais developers. Muitos mais.  
 Nem tanto. Basta usar NIP-51 lists ao inves de kind3 lists.  
 Testing an old idea: NFC-based transient accounts: accounts that log off as soon as the app goes to the background, deleting all traces of the account from the phone. 

It looks like this in debugging speeds: https://video.nostr.build/ef4274d150303fd28f5e7b6b02a7b0102176263dfb1b491969a0caab6b61e6ad.mp4

If you are an activist and if your phone is confiscated, they will never find anything on the phone. Not even your public key.

Walk around with Amethyst installed and an NFC tag hidden in your clothing. When you need to use Amethyst, tap the tag, insert your password and login. Lock the screen to delete everything. 

The NFC has a NIP-49 password-encrypted nsec. If you need, destroy and dispose the NFC tag.  
 You can create one for your key in the left/drawer / export keys. Choose the password enrypted version. It's quite small.  
 Yeah decoys would be awesome!

 The key is deleted from memory. This is not to avoid loading the key, but avoid storing it in the device for other people to find. 
 To export/create the ncrypt sec? It should already ask for it 🤔 
 Humm... Interesting... It would only work in that specific phone though. 🤔 
 Dose who control your data, control your destiny

Make typos poetic again.  
 Can we create a Nostr filter where the client sends a bloomfilter instead of a massive list of pubkeys of the 1000 people an account is following? 

At .01% error rate, the filter size drops from ~67kb to  2.3Kb. It looks like a good data-saving feature.

🤔 
 Leo, I need to define a bloom/cuckoo filter format for pubkeys so that implementation A creates the filter that implementation B will use. Do you have any recommendations on how to encode the resulting filter itself? 

The filter will be saved in every event as a tag, so it must be something the other client can easily decode and apply.

Bonus if the writer of the filter can specify the precision. Any tips? 
Event not found
 No idea. They should work if they have the open graph tags in the page.
