Happy Sunday #Nostr !

Here’s your #NostrTechWeekly newsletter brought to you by nostr:npub19mduaf5569jx9xz555jcx3v06mvktvtpu0zgk47n4lcpjsz43zzqhj6vzk written by nostr:npub1r3fwhjpx2njy87f9qxmapjn9neutwh7aeww95e03drkfg45cey4qgl7ex2

The #NostrTechWeekly is a weekly newsletter focused on the more technical happenings in the nostr-verse.

Let’s dive in!

## Recent Upgrades to Nostr (AKA [NIPs](https://nostr.com/the-protocol/nips))
It’s been a light few weeks for new NIPs or NIPs that seem to be nearing “official” adoption (changes being accepted to the NIPs list). But there’s one that’s timely and new to talk about.

#### 1) (Proposed) [NIP 100: DEX orders over Nostr](https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/931/files?short_path=b651796#diff-b6517966f62629eb3ed4955f1a3107b772d3c07985ff8d51344c7f93daf7c593)
The team at [OrdersExchange](https://github.com/OrdersExchange) is proposing a protocol for communicating orders for digital assets using Nostr. The first use case seems to be BRC20 Tokens (which are fungible tokens issued on Bitcoin AKA ordinals).

The idea is that DEXs (and their users) would benefit from orders being communicated more widely, it would improve price discovery and help create more efficient markets. Sellers would post their sell order and buyers would be able to post proof that they paid for the asset and therefore close the order.

DEXs could become Nostr clients looking for and coordinating these Nostr events to create efficient exchange. This NIP is early in its development but could be a consequential addition to the Nostr economy if DEXs are interested in implementing the protocol.

## Notable Projects
#### [Collaborative live editing documents](https://w3.do/I0OiEm7C) 📄
Prompted by [an issue](https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/issues/929) opened in the codebase where all the NIPs live, nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6 has started thinking through how to enable collaborative, live editing documents via Nostr. Think of how you can edit things via Google Docs with several people at once.

There’s an open source software called [Automerge](https://automerge.org/) which should be able to do the heavy lifting. In summary, Automerge is able to create and update documents with incremental changes from various users (and reconcile possibly conflicting edits).

What’s novel about this would be using Nostr as the protocol for communicating the collaborative edits instead of a central server (like Google Docs). There’s a lot of dev work ahead for this project, and some questions around if or which relays will want to play host to whole documents (and their edit history). But this could be another freedom tech that is improved by Nostr 💪.

#### [Followed by friends on iris.to](https://w3.do/83dqZjNT) 🫂
nostr:npub1g53mukxnjkcmr94fhryzkqutdz2ukq4ks0gvy5af25rgmwsl4ngq43drvk announced that the Nostr client Iris supports a feed of who your friends are following. I think Coracle has had this feature for some time as well, but it all supports pushing the frontiers of content discovery on Nostr without giving up control of your feed.

This is another example of “web of trust” based operations on Nostr, and it seems like a rich area to continue investing in to build a better, freer social experience.

## Latest conversations: The Lightning Network and Nostr
The recent move by Wallet of Satoshi to pull out of operations in the US has made clear that Lightning and specifically LNURL providers are a central point of failure for Nostr.

#### Zaps
Zaps are one of the main things that makes Nostr special (so far). Zaps are fun. Zaps help us support content creators directly. Zaps help us support people who wouldn’t get a dime from any of the other social platforms.

Zaps create a far better measure of how much users care about content than reactions that cost nothing. Zaps are a great way to start people on the circular Bitcoin economy.

#### Nostr and disintermediating platforms with lower fees
Nostr has the opportunity to disrupt platforms like Patreon, Youtube, Twitch, Spotify, etc by offering the same (or better) experience to users while helping content creators keep more of their money.

That dream entirely depends on low fee transactions which are currently most accessible via the Lightning Network and often via Zaps. Protecting this infrastructure and ensuring it stays decentralized is key to this possible future for Nostr.

#### LNURL
Zaps (and other proposed features for paying content creators directly via Nostr) depend on the LNURL protocol and Lightning Wallets that run it for their users.
![Rita getting zaps via her lightning address](https://i.nostr.build/Aw0o.jpg)
Traditionally Lightning requires the receiver to do the work of generating an invoice and setting the amount the invoice is for. That’s not practical if the goal is to tip a content creator or charge X number of sats to unlock a blog post without knowing who or how many people will do so.

The LNURL protocol (specifically the “pay” portion) for Lightning wallet providers enables payers to request a one-off invoice from the receiver’s Lightning wallet provider (in the amount the payer wants to send). Then the payer just pays the invoice like normal through their Lightning Wallet.

A good description of [LNURL and the Pay Request protocol](https://voltage.cloud/blog/lightning-network-faq/how-does-lnurl-work-enhancing-lightnings-user-experience/#h-lnurl-pay-request) can be found here.

Everyone that can receive zaps generated an LNURL address with your Lightning wallet provider at some point, and the whole thing is very useful. Only trouble is that it requires the Lightning wallet providers to have an always-on service that can service requests from payers who want those one-off invoices.

#### Custodial Lightning is Central Point of Failure
If you don’t want to fully self-custody your LIghtning Node, you have to have a Lightning Wallet Provider in your jurisdiction that supports LNURL functionality. There’s on the order of dozen providers TOTAL that currently support this functionality, and one of them just got pressured out of operating in the US (Wallet of Satoshi)

This isn’t a problem that has to be solved immediately. It may not even be the next most important bottleneck to fix for Nostr to thrive. For example: it may be more important to create better ways to onboard and retain users. But, if US regulators continue pushing custodial lightning wallet providers to cease operation in western jurisdictions, we may see this problem become the most critical problem for the community to solve.

It’s worth starting the conversation sooner rather than later.

#### Solution: More providers?
Most Bitcion wallets don’t support LNURL. many of the best ones do, but many of the most popular don’t, e.g. CashApp doesn’t support it. Coinbase doesn’t even support lightning transactions nor wallets 🙄.

One way to decrease the “central point of failure” issue is for more Bitcoin wallets to support Lightning and LNURL functionality so that we have more options (and more moles for regulators to whack). One thing we can all do is continue to reward the Bitcoin companies that build these features with our business and pressure the ones that don’t until they give in.

#### Solution: Go up a layer?
Lightning (which is arguably an L2 for Bitcoin) isn’t a panacea. As Bitcoin usage scales, fees on Lightning will probably go up (even priced in sats) and as Bitcoin price goes up as well, the transaction fees may become more comparable to what we see from traditional payment providers (Visa, Stripe, etc).

Hal Finney (one of the first and main contributors to Bitcoin) [painted a picture of a future](https://www.coindesk.com/markets/2014/08/29/hal-finney-on-bitcoin-in-his-own-words/) where Bitcoin succeeded where banks would open between each other and each would issue its own ecash for daily use by most people. That way Bitcoin was the asset of highest value, banks would use these channels to settle transactions between them, and then cash-like transactions would be driven by digital cash issued by banks which would be Bitcoin backed.

Keep in mind, this was all before Lightning was even under development. Hal hadn’t even imagined how Lightning would help enable more than just traditional banks to participate in the payment rails, nor could he even imagine how Lightning enables solutions like CashU to issue ecash that can be interoperable between any entity that uses the Lightning network.

Hal’s future is on its way, and it’s even better than he predicted. And we, as Nostr folks, may need to go up a layer anyway to maintain the low fee, cash-like transactions powered by Bitcoin on Nostr that helps commerce on the internet thrive.

Going up to a Layer 3 (like Cashu) seems like it also enables the commercial activity we need on Nostr without requiring centralized always-on custodial solutions to receive our payments to each other.

There are trade offs going to a Layer 3 (as you get further from Bitcoin itself, you have to trust your counterparties more), but the trade offs may be worth it as the ecosystem of Nostr and Bitcoin users grows.

#### What do y’all think?
If you can think of other solutions, please start a conversation by replying to this post. There’s a lot of intelligent folks who care deeply about the success of Nostr and there’s nothing we can’t solve together.

## Until next time 🫡

It's weird to see some folks acting like LLMs are the path to actual artificial intelligence.

Call me when an LLM can make deductions and have original thoughts without being fed the entirety of the Internet first. That's not how actually intelligent humans work. Of course compressing the entirety of human knowledge into a fuzzy completion machine will make it sound intelligent. You're basically making a lossy encoded compressed version of things actually intelligent people have said, with a modicum of ability to generalize by simple association and statistics.

The Turing test breaks down when you throw enough Big Data at it. Congratulations, you've beat the test. You haven't created real intelligence though, you used big data to build a parrot with a huge vocabulary.

Today is the 1st birthday of Snort, its crazy to think its been a year already. A random weekend project turned into a full time project.

I wouldn't still be here if it wasn't for all the support I've received over the past 12 months, so I have to start by saying thank you to everyone who has donated and kept the train rolling, and of course special thanks to HRF and nostr:npub10pensatlcfwktnvjjw2dtem38n6rvw8g6fv73h84cuacxn4c28eqyfn34f for making it possible to keep building on Nostr.

It is hard to imagine where we will be in a year's time, but I hope that Nostr will be stronger than ever.

Finally, here is a time-lapse video of every version of Snort since last year.

Hello. Based on the feedback I received from you, I compiled the Nostr diagram into one page.

There are quite a lot of elements, so I'll just show you the line drawings for now. (I plan to add color once the contents are finalized)

In this illustration, the ostrich was not included in the cast. Instead, machines and robots are used to represent the internal workings of clients and relay servers. I also researched and added Zap while getting advice from various people.

What do you think of this diagram?

Help make Nostr better. We're putting together a pool of nostr and non-nostr users to talk to as part of a series of customer development and user research.  Please share this around or sign up.

nos.social will be conducting numerous rounds of discovery and user research in the coming months and we're seeking people who would be open to sharing information about ANY of the following topics:

- Your current social media use including what you like and dislike

- Your experience using or trying out federated platforms like Mastodon, Nostr, Bluesky etc.

- Your experience using nos.social

- Your experience as a content creator

- Your experience working in the advocacy / activist space as it relates to social media.

All sessions will be remote and hosted over Zoom or equivalent video conferencing tools. We will need you to join on a computer as there will often be times where we need you to share your screen.

If interested, please tell us a bit about your social media use and experience below.

As opportunities arise, we'll reach out to coordinate scheduling.

### Release 0.2.1-beta

* Bug fix in the auto mint swap process
* Update success screen for auto mint swap
* Fix spelling errors in the spanish translation

https://github.com/cashubtc/eNuts/releases/tag/v0.2.1-beta


https://yana.do/ has this nice UI that prepares an optimal list of relays to publish stuff to but gives us a chance to click to unselect or select others before publishing. It is very cool to be able to control things like that. It may evolve to something more useful when we start to see more custom relays.


LNbits/Makerbits will be managing the hackspace at Bitcoin Atlantis, forging the tools of liberation in Madeiras mighty volcano.
Will be unconf style, workshops and hacking aplenty, Join us!

Everybody must "do their own research." There is no alternative.

No matter how dumb you think you are, you still have to make your own decisions. Even if your "research" is just to figure out who you choose to trust, that decision itself is 100% yours.

Trusting the authorities on non-controversial stuff is usually ok, but society goes mad from time to time and trusting the authorities where there is widespread disagreement turns out to more often than not (in my 53 years of experience) to be the wrong decision. Authorities don't act from a drive to find the truth regardless of consequences, they act from other drives, for other reasons, that are complicated and complex (fitting in themselves, pleasing the people with the most money, etc) but generally are NOT scientifically driven towards the truth (and do not speak for science no matter how much they claim to).  Anyone who says "I want to reassure you" is immediately untrustworthy.  Reassurance is the biggest give-away that they are a running a confidence game.

Nostr.Band now renders proper meta-tags for profiles and event pages - links to profiles and events look much better when shared in messengers or xitters.

This works with a small http server that fetches events/profiles on the server and injects meta tags into index.html of our built SPA. Just in case you need that in your own apps: https://github.com/nostrband/nometa


Introducing Resolvr:  Open Source Justice on Bitcoin and Nostr

Resolvr.io is building Open Source Justice by empowering sovereign communities to peacefully and voluntarily resolve their own disputes with open-source tools.

We've built a peer-to-peer bounty marketplace that:
- gives developers assurances of payment for solving bounties,
- decentralizes and grows FOSS funding sources,
- unlocks access to the global talent pool,
- provides a frictionless on-ramp to earn Bitcoin (₿).

This is a long form article, you can read it in https://habla.news/a/naddr1qqxnzdesxgenywfsxserzdenqgsya7fhzglleyjp05zwzd7elzln8d6u53dq305qf8v2hhs3jll8nsqrqsqqqa28rtca8s

### Introduction

Resolvr is building **Open Source Justice**  by empowering sovereign communities to peacefully and voluntarily resolve their own disputes with open-source tools.

Our first product is designed for a community close to home:  the Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) development ecosystem.   We've built a peer-to-peer bounty marketplace that:

* gives developers **assurances of payment** for solving bounties,
* decentralizes and grows **FOSS funding sources**,
* unlocks access to the **global talent pool**,
* provides a frictionless on-ramp to **earn** **Bitcoin** **(₿)**.

![screenshot1](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/HkPj4wmUT.png)

Resolvr does this by:

* limiting discretion of bounty grantors through **reputational stakes** and a **Bitcoin** **(₿)** **escrow** powered by [Discreet Log Contracts](https://atomic.finance/blog/discreet-log-contracts/)🔮,
* resolving disputes through **crowdsourced review** of bounty solutions,
* using **nostr**🦩 for interoperable and censorship-resistant bounty discovery,
* using **Lighting**⚡ zaps for **instant bounty payouts**.

The alpha webclient is now live at [resolvr.io](https://www.resolvr.io).

### The Problem

> The root problem with conventional bounty marketplaces is all the trust that's required to make them work.

Satoshi Nakamoto (probably)

#### 1. Centralized Custodians are Security Holes 🕳

❌ Centralized bounty marketplaces that hold bounty funds can exit scam or go bankrupt.

* This year, BountySource (5,445 listed bounties worth $406,425 in 2019) stopped paying out bounties to developers.

❌ Existing bounty marketplaces, like Replit, don't have instant or free payouts:

* Devs are rewarded in Replit's 💩-coin and must request USD conversion by email.
* Replit charges a 25% withdrawal fee and requires a minimum withdrawal of $350.

❌ Knowledge workers in developing countries, many of whom rely on mobile wallets, have lost their funds via bank and telco attack vectors ([$3M USD via 2,000 SIM cards, lost](https://qz.com/africa/1915884/uganda-banks-mtn-airtel-hacked-by-mobile-money-fraudsters)).

❌ Centralized bounty sites can censor posts for projects the site-owners disagree with or find unsavory.

#### 2. Bounty Grantors are Judge 👩⚖ and Jury 🏛

❌ Bounty grantors have unlimited discretion over whether a solution meets their bounty criteria.  And they can change the criteria after the dev has satisfied the original bounty.

❌ The Human Rights Foundation (HRF) recently [changed its criteria](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M5xTGMojZwU&t=4987s) on a nostr bounty **after** a dev provided a solution to the originally posted bounty.  HRF decided to pay the dev only half the bounty.

❌ This is inherently unfair and inefficient!

### Resolvr's Solution ✔

1. 📡 Distributed, interoperable, censorship-resistant communication protocol for bounty posting and discovery,
2. **(₿)** Peer-to-peer lightning payouts and non-custodial escrow system,
3. ⚖ Decentralized Dispute Resolution

### How it Works

[Check out the Walkthrough here.](https://youtu.be/3_STomyKxa8)

#### Zap Payouts and Crowdsourced Dispute Resolution

1. Login to resolvr.io with your existing nostr keys (or let resolvr.io generate keys for you - remember to back them up!)
2. Set up your profile by
* Linking your GitHub identity to your nostr profile (through resolvr.io or Amethyst on android) following [NIP-39 instructions](https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/39.md#github)
* Getting a lighting address for zap payments (getalby.com)
3. Maker (entrepreneur, foundation, FOSS project) - post a bounty with a detailed criteria and amount.
4. Taker (freelance developer) - find a bounty to solve, apply to the bounty.
5. Maker - assign a Taker to solve your bounty.

##### Ideal Path

6. Taker - solve the assigned bounty and provide a link to the work product in the comments (e.g., github repo or PR)
7. Maker - click "pay" to zap bounty reward

![Zap Ideal](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/HkMsKsg86.png)

##### Happy Path

7. If either party disputes the bounty:  Taker or Maker clicks "poll" to initiate a nostr zap poll,
8. Community members (other Makers/Takers) review bounty/solution and vote to resolve the dispute,
9. Maker - if community votes in favor of Taker, zap payout.

![zap happy](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/SkM2Yje8p.png)

##### Sad Path

9. Maker does not comply with community decision, burns reputation and cannot find developers for future projects.

![zap sad](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/rJ8aFjeLp.png)

### Innovations

Resolvr's success is aligned with the success of **nostr**🦩 and bitcoin.  We're advancing the tech with novel applications:

* Authored [**NIP-43**](https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/865):  bounties over nostr
* Discovered new use-case for **NIP-69** zap polls: dispute resolution
* First p2p bounty marketplace with **instant payouts** over lightning
* First p2p bounty marketplace with **integrated dispute resolution**
* New **frictionless onramp** to earn bitcoin, grow circular economy

### What's Next for the Resolvr Bounty Marketplace?

The next dispute resolution feature on the roadmap for the Resolvr bounty marketplace is on-chain DLC🔮 escrow.  We're putting DLCs🔮 on **nostr**🦩 and building a desktop client to do it!

The desktop client will allow Makers and Takers to post, apply and assign bounties just like the web client.  But it will also create and broadcast DLC🔮 escrow contracts.  In the event of a dispute, the Resolvr oracle will attest to the results of the crowdsourced zap poll to release the funds to the winning party.

In the future, Resolvr will allow Makers and Takers to select their own oracles, and communities can be listed as "review association" oracles, earning bitcoin for resolving disputes over bounties (think:  foundations, hackerspaces, bitdev meetup groups).

For more details about our DLCs🔮 on nostr, check out the Resolvr's [escrow repo](https://github.com/Resolvr-io/escrow) on GitHub!

In addition to DLCs🔮, Resolvr's roadmap includes:

* Decentralizing the default Resolvr oracle through **FediMint**🔅 protocol and FROST🥶.
* Scaling escrow through **Lighting**⚡ DLCs🔮
* Bounty review and code testing with AI🤖 (DVMs)

### Beyond Bounties...

The Resolvr Project is building an open-source dispute resolution system on bitcoin and adjacent protocols.

Resolvr will revolutionize dispute resolution on a global scale, offering secure, open-source, customizable, decentralized, and radically cost-efficient mechanisms for **infinite use cases**.

![DR multiverse](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/SJULbD78T.png)

Dispute Resolution is a big opportunity, with increasing demand driven by AI services and microtransactions.

![opportunity](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/rkYyGPQUT.png)

Thanks for joining us on this journey to make FOSS funding more fair and efficient, expand access to Bitcoin, and provide communities with the tools to peacefully resolve their own disputes!

In this demo we create a 2-of-3 multisig between the devices. A threshold of two means we need any two of the three devices to sign in order to spend funds from the wallet. ❄🔒

Daisy-chained Frostsnap devices participate in distributed key generation, each contributing entropy to a joint secret shared across multiple devices.

No single device knows the overall secret, only a fragment.

You, the user, can easily verify the key was created securely ✅

After creating a new key, you can hide your Frostsnap devices in different locations or share them among people you trust. 🏘🏝👨⚖

When it comes time to make a bitcoin transaction or sign a Nostr post under your Frostsnap key, you must sign on multiple devices.

Frostsnap is crafting a whole new Bitcoin experience,

And we're fixing the problems of self-custody today:
security, accessibility, cost, and privacy.

Frostsnap is making #bitcoin ownership easy, personalized, and secure.

Stay Frosty ❄


Nostr is honestly fuckin wild

This place puts any other app or platform to shame.

The tech, the community, the love, and the absolute randomness.

Every time I open up Damus I never know what I’m going to see. Could be some bitcoin tips, could be a picture of steak, could be a music video, a good podcast recommendation, even a half-naked woman with a bitcoin logo on her nips 😛

I can’t wait for everyone else to discover it.

💜💜💜

Tether Freezes All OFAC-Sanctioned Wallets in 'Proactive' Security Measure

"ITether framed the move as a voluntary step to "proactively prevent any potential misuse of Tether tokens and enhance security measures," and clarified that existing wallets on the OFAC list would be frozen along with any new wallets added in the future."

🇪🇸 Jugando con la nueva versión de nak por nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6 , con ella puedes crear tu bunker en segundos para firmar remotamente en cualquier cliente que soporte nip-46. Sólo tienes que descargar la utilidad desde el repositorio https://github.com/fiatjaf/nak, allí encontrarás instrucciones sobre cómo ejecutarlo, una vez instalado utiliza el comando `nak bunker --prompt-sec wss://<relay-url.com>` para iniciar el bunker con el relay de tu elección como coordinador, a continuación, una vez que se ha ejecutado te pedirá que introduzcas tu nsec, después de eso ya está todo listo para firmar mensajes de forma remota utilizando tu propio bunker!
He grabado una pequeña demo

Régulation sur l’IA

"The legislation also includes some prohibitions, such as not being able to use AI for citizen scoring or biometric identification purposes in public places. On this last point, under pressure from certain States, including France, exceptions have been made to allow facial recognition for the prevention of terrorist threats, for the search for missing persons or for the identification of perpetrators of offenses criminal."

What kind of hypocrisy is that?
La surveillance de masse se cachait aussi derrière le terrorisme.

Ugh very risky, I wouldn't put my sats at risk for something so probable


The OP_RETURN discussion is not new and dates back to 2014 when Bitcoin Core 0.9.0 was released with the OP_RETURN policy included which was intended to discourage more egregious forms of spam. At that time, 40 bytes was the default max datacarriersize limit across all node implementations; this was and still is sufficiently large for tying data to a transaction (32 bytes for a hash and 8 bytes for a unique identifier). Core subsequently increasing the default to 80 bytes was an entirely voluntary decision and in no way contradicts the design objective that OP_RETURN creates a provably-prunable output to minimise damage caused by data storage schemes, which have always been discouraged as abusive. There are also other good technical reasons which I have chosen to retain the lower default in Bitcoin Knots, and no justification for increasing it.

It is not my intention, nor that of my team at
nostr:npub1qtvl2em0llpnnllffhat8zltugwwz97x79gfmxfz4qk52n6zpk3qq87dze, to filter coinjoins. These present an innovative tool for increasing Bitcoin’s privacy and, when constructed properly, coinjoins can easily stay within the OP_RETURN limit (indeed, there is no reason for them to have *any* OP_RETURN data at all). I have some ideas on how to alleviate the recent issue where some coinjoin transactions were flagged as spam from Knots v25, and I am willing, with the full resources of my team, to work collaboratively on a solution in good faith.

Bitcoin does and always has allowed nodes to set filters based on multiple sets of criteria and Knots v25’s defaults are IMO what is best for Bitcoin at this time. Others may disagree and that is ok. They are free to (and should) run their own nodes - it is good for Bitcoin to have more people running nodes, including miners, and there should be a natural diversity in node policies. As was stated before, OCEAN is on a path to decentralization and very soon we are going to be in a position where hashers will be able to fully participate as miners and perform the intelligent parts of mining such as deciding which version of node software to run and what filters or other policies to apply to block template construction.

Starting to play with decentralized trust ranking in Spring v0.12.

You can estimate, adjust and publish trust scores for other users - these are estimated from your recent interactions.

https://void.cat/d/T5HriPK2C8QSd7cGsoJVL6.webp

nostr:npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240 has been advocating the TrustNet as a web of trust implementation, useful for spam filtering etc.

The algorithm has two steps - first, each user publishes 'trust assignments' - that's trust scores your can now publish with Spring. These are published as 10629 replaceable events with a list of 'p' tags and a score, typical size will probably be ~100 pubkeys. We provide an estimate based on past interactions, but it can't be precise - you may and should adjust it to match your actual relationships.

The second step is that apps can download trust assignments of users close to your network (contacts, people you like/zap a lot etc) and run a calculation akin to PageRank, but it's not global - it's local to your network. The result will be several thousand pubkeys with non-zero trust ranks - a much wider network of users who could be trusted.

This way the trust ranking is a) based on everyone's actual relationships, because you can adjust the trust scores you're publishing, and b) efficient and can be used by any app - it just needs to download several hundred trust score lists and run the trustnet algo periodically and store results in local cache.

Spring only does step one at the moment. When enough people publish their trust assignments we will add the second step and let you calculate your own trust ranks. Spring will show the trust ranks under profiles, and will use it for spam filtering later. Other apps will probably find other uses for it.

More on TrustNet here: https://cblgh.org/trustnet/


These DVMs and bots are now all running their own non custodial wallets and their own zappable lnaddresses.

Elizabeth Warren is 74. The dinosaurs are slowly but surely dying off.

We can HODL #Bitcoin longer than they can spew nonsense.


Antes de que empieces en #Bitcoin.

Primero, lee el documento técnico. Es necesario comprender los fundamentos conceptuales de cómo funciona, después de eso podrías leer:

✨Grokking Bitcoin.


Bravo, thanks! 👏


GM: All mining pools "censor" transactions, they all construct blocks based on their preference. (Fees, OFACT, asicboost, etc). Many even take out of channel payments. Many/most? Large miners and pools use custom nodes too!

Ocean was just being more transparent about their preferences. In all honesty, didn't even think of 42 bytes issue. Knots was forked from core at 40. Not everything is about the ninjas.

Until we have stratum v2, hashers have no real choice.

https://miningpool.observer/missing


Hi all! I have just pushed a major update to the negentropy project. It implements protocol version 1 (previous was version 0).

The protocol has been simplified: ID size is no longer configurable, there are no more continuation ranges, and the output can be constructed in the same input-scan pass.

There is a new fingerprint function, based on an incremental hash. This allows fingerprints to be pre-computed and stored in a tree structure. The C++ implementation includes a B+Tree implementation that allows fingerprints to be computed without collecting IDs from the entire DB.

I have written a comprehensive article that goes over the theory of RBSR and the negentropy implementation:

https://logperiodic.com/rbsr.html

Comments are appreciated!

Finally, I have integrated the new version of negentropy and the B+Tree with strfry. It's in a development branch and not quite ready for production, but my testing indicates this will be a massive improvement for full-DB syncs, especially on relays with very large DBs. In-sync or nearly in-sync relays should sync almost instantly with negligible resource usage. Relays will also use the B+Tree for filters that contain only until and/or since, meaning that date-range full-DB syncs are also efficient. Syncing arbitrary filters works as before (but I have begun work to make these more efficient as well).

Unfortunately, this is a breaking change for the negentropy protocol (this really should be the last one!) and will also require a new DB version.

I'm going to take this opportunity to make a few more breaking DB changes, and plan to release strfry 1.0 after a beta testing period.

If we have doubts about the path we should take in #Bitcoin , there are only two possible options that we have to think about and that are incompatible with each other:

- #Conservative : small optimization and code improvement changes but without changing the protocol to be stable.

- #Innovative : make major changes and attempts to improve in the hope that these changes will bring more value or new use cases.

#Bitcoin as an #institution can be compared in some way with other institutions historically. On the conservative side we have the Catholic #Church, on its way to 2000 years of existence. On the innovative side, we have institutions such as #companies, where few usually last more than 100 years.

From this perspective it is easier to position yourself on what we want for #Bitcoin

You don't have to learn to code to grow Bitcoin or grow Nostr.

You can contribute financially to those building these protocols or building on top of them.

You can educate and evangelize to the people in your community. You'll have better luck at this in meatspace than on tribalistic legacy social media.

You can write a book, produce videos, record a podcast.

You can support businesses that accept Bitcoin. Buy their products or services.

Transact on exchanges that align with the ethos of freedom (AKA no-KYC).

There are so many ways that you can contribute.

Stack and hodl is not enough.

Painful?


Yes, everyone is crying today about how samurai has been censored... From my point of view, it is not censorship. They simply use a notification technique for Whirlpool that has unfortunately fallen under the ocean filter for using more than the op_return size allowed by Bitcoin knots.
This, in my view, is far from censorship. In Bitcoin, everyone has the ability to participate in the network openly and freely, by setting their node configuration. This fundamental difference is why I wouldn't call this censorship. Ocean is simply defending a Bitcoin use case that ordinals, stamps, runes, and all this metadata have little to do with financial transactions in a digital cash system like Bitcoin, as originally conceived in its white paper.
If we stick to this, using the chain for anything more than this can be seen as an abuse of it, preventing or disabling its main use case. At this point, we could say that they are censoring or preventing financial transactions by creating an environment of restrictive fees that make it difficult to use Bitcoin to transmit value, not the metadata attached. I'm not against any use case; I'm in favor of using technology correctly. Bitcoin doesn't have the capabilities or efficiency for the use case that ordinals, stamps, or any NFT needs, in my opinion. They should move to other layers so they can deploy their full potential or use case. This is not new, I recommend you this article: https://blog.bitmex.com/dapps-or-only-bitcoin-transactions-the-2014-debate/

And, in any case, Ocean is only one actor in a vast ecosystem with little impact on the network.


That's beautiful man! I'm just starting to dig deeper into nlp, I see that at the moment there is only support for openAI and replicate.com, it would be really cool to integrate the ollama api for example, so anyone could use their own infrastructure to run a dvm. It could also be interesting to integrate langchain, for example in the case of image-to-video to gif. In any case I hope to have some more free time to see if I can do some pr or play a bit more with the framework.

A lot of people are confused between censorship and filtering. If you think that enforcing rules is a censorship, everyrhing going to be a censorship. Even your node might censor VALID transactions. If you want to know details, search "standard transactios". So, it is meaningless to say some rules are censorships. We should clarify these terminology to avoid confusing. I have been being considered to distinguish this two things. Followings are my rough definition.

Censorship
Censorship is banning INDIVIDUALS such as truckers, the opposition party, and etc.
The OFAC sanction list is the exact example.
https://sanctionssearch.ofac.treas.gov/Details.aspx?id=33151
As we know, #Bitcoin is censorship resistance, even if someone try to censor individuals, they can avoid the censorships.

Filtering
Filtering is applying their own rules. That's it. Your node is configurable and configuring means change your own rules. Then, some transaction would be invalid(would not be relayed) on your node, but valid(would be relayed) on others. We don't say this "censorship".

"Not sure i understand right but bitcoin core dev team dont want anyone make new layers over bitcoin blockchain?

The problem isn't new layers, it's forcing things on people against their will.
New layers can be done on an opt-in basis, without polluting the blockchain and forcing non-participants to store the data."

A technical analysis of ordinal inscriptions and the history of fighting data spam in bitcoin

This is a long form article, you can read it in https://habla.news/jb55/1701876273423

I’m going to be on an ordinals panels as one of the people who is counter arguing the claim that they are good for bitcoin. I decided to brush up on the technicals on how inscriptions work. I am starting to see luke’s perspective on how it is exploiting a loophole in bitcoin’s anti-data-spam mechanisms.

## Storing data in Bitcoin, the “standard” way

The standard way you add “data” to bitcoin is by calling the OP_RETURN opcode. Bitcoin devs noticed that people were storing data (like the bitcoin whitepaper) in the utxo set via large multisig transactions. The problem with this is that this set is unprunable and could grow over time. OP_RETURN outputs on the other-hand are provably prunable and don’t add to utxo bloat.

Here’s an excerpt from the march 2014 0.9.0 release notes that talks about this:

> On OP_RETURN: There was been some confusion and misunderstanding in the community, regarding the OP_RETURN feature in 0.9 and data in the blockchain. This change is not an endorsement of storing data in the blockchain. The OP_RETURN change creates a provably-prunable output, to avoid data storage schemes – some of which were already deployed – that were storing arbitrary data such as images as forever-unspendable TX outputs, bloating bitcoin’s UTXO database.
Storing arbitrary data in the blockchain is still a bad idea; it is less costly and far more efficient to store non-currency data elsewhere.

Much of the work on bitcoin core has been focused on making sure the system continues to function in a decentralized way for its intended purpose in the presence of people trying to abuse it for things like storing data. Bitcoin core has always discouraged this, as it is not designed for storage of images and data, it is meant for moving digital coins around in cyberspace.

To help incentive-align people to not do stupid things, OP_RETURN transactions were not made non-standard, so that they are relayable by peers and miners, but with the caveat:

1. They can only push 40 bytes (later increased to 80,83, I’m guessing to support larger root merkle hashes since that is the only sane usecase for op_return)

Bitcoin also added an option called -datacarriersize which limits the total number of bytes from these outputs that you will relay or mine.

## Why inscriptions are technically an exploit

Inscriptions get around the datacarriersize limit by disguising data as bitcoin script program data via OP_PUSH inside OP_IF blocks. Ordinals do not use OP_RETURN and are not subjected to datacarriersize limits, so noderunners and miners currently have limited control over the total size of this data that they wish to relay and include in blocks. Luke’s fork of bitcoin-core has some options to fight this spam, so hopefully we will see this in core sometime soon as well.

Inscriptions are also taking advantage of features in segwit v1 (witness discount) and v2/taproot (no arbitrary script size limit). Each of these features have interesting and well-justified reasons why they were introduced.

The purpose of the witness discount was to make it cheaper to spend many outputs which helps the reduction of the utxo set size. Inscriptions took advantage of this discount to store monke jpegs disguised as bitcoin scripts. Remember, bitcoin is not for storing data, so anytime bitcoin-devs accidentally make it cheap and easy to relay data then this should be viewed as an exploit. Expect it to be fixed, or at least provide tools to noderunners for fighting this spam.

## Where do we go from here

The interesting part of this story is that people seem to attach value to images stored on the bitcoin blockchain, and they are willing to pay the fee to get it in the block, so non-ideologic miners and people who don’t care about the health and decentralization of bitcoin are happy to pay or collect the fee and move on.

Data should not get a discount, people should pay full price if they want to store data. They should just use op_return and hashes like opentimestamps or any other reasonable protocol storing data in bitcoin.

After going through this analysis I’ve come to the opinion that this is a pretty bad data-spam exploit and bitcoin devs should be working on solutions. Ideological devs like luke who actually care about the health and decentralization of the network are and I’m glad to see it.
