Oh wow that looks good!


I think we should do a #nostrnovember marketing campaign to other social platforms and especially X.

#nostr as social media is too good and has too much potential to have this little users, and needs more diversity of content, communities, and more.

Remember remember, #nostr November!

What do you think nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6 nostr:npub18ams6ewn5aj2n3wt2qawzglx9mr4nzksxhvrdc4gzrecw7n5tvjqctp424 ? I think we need to first get most or all clients on board with better moderation tools for users before then though, and make onboarding as easy as possible.

What kind of content are you interested in? You could become the ‘influencer’ here 😜


#Nostr is pretty fucking easy to use. Idk what so many people complain about. You download an app and post stuff. You figure out the rest from there as you go, same as any other new “social media” that comes out.


Amazing but pls adjust to 2 months later 😂


Ya but you’re part of our marketing plan regardless Derek lol. It’s about growing #nostr and #damus 😍 you’re one of our best ambassadors without using the app and that’s what makes this place so amazing!

 https://opensats.org/blog/bitcoin-infrastructure-this-decade


We’re taking notes… and go! 😂💜 literally talked about this in one of our #damus team calls this am. Thanks in advance for the feedback ya’ll!


I thought it might be interesting to do a quick technical writeup of nostrdb and the new nostrdb profile searching. This is the first text search index within nostrdb, if you're interested in the nitty gritty details of things, this article is for you!

For the most part, nostrdb has been a copy of the design of strfry, in terms of its indices and multi-process architecture. strfry doesn't support search (yet), so this is a novel feature of nostrdb. What is strfry? If it weren't for strfry, nostr wouldn't work. It is simply the best way to implement a nostr database and relay. SQL servers are just too slow to serve dynamic queries at scale.

I wanted something like strfry that I could embed into native nostr clients like Damus, this is how nostrdb was born!

First, let's look at how nostrdb at a high level.

# nostrdb

nostrdb is an embedded library for native nostr clients. It uses the Lightning-mapped database (LMDB) for very efficient querying. This allows it to skip SQL query parsing and query planning. We don't really need all that with nostr. nostr search filters are a bit more restrictive, so we can build custom indices for the most common nostr queries. This is a huge win CPU-wise, nostr queries can be very dynamic, and skipping the query parsing and planning saves CPU and battery.

Before we get into any of that, let's look at how you would use the library from the highest level. The entrypoint for notes in nostrdb is the `ndb_process_event` function. When you receive nostr events from another relay, this function is called for each event.

## Event processing

`ndb_process_event('["EVENT","subid",{kind:1, ...}]')`

We begin by queueing the event for processing in the multi-threaded ingester. This allows it to return immediately and not block the client.

The ingester is multi-threaded because validating note signatures can be pretty slow. We want note processing to be as quick as possible so nostrdb doesn't have a bottleneck here.

nostrdb is very smart about not burning CPU when it doesn't need to. The custom json parser will stop when it finds the note ID field, lookup that note in the database to see if we already have it, and then stop JSON parsing if we do. This saves CPU for large notes like contact lists, and skips the need to re-validate the signature as well. Even strfry doesn't make this optimization, so nostrdb has a speed, cpu, and battery life advantage here.

During the processing step, nostrdb will detect different note types such as profile metadata. It will look at the `name` and `display_name` field and add a custom index for searching user profiles. Since keys in LMDB are lexicographically sorted and support range queries, our profile search indices is simply (name + pubkey + created_at). This allows you to do a ranged key-lookup on "jb" and it will position the db cursor to the first record that starts with jb. LMDB uses a b+ tree, this is not a linear scan, so it is very fast! Eventually this index will be used for implementing nip-50 search on the nostrdb relay interface, which is coming sometime in the future.

Once we're done writing the indices and validating the note, we store nostr notes in a custom, compact binary format that is easy to access directly in memory from any programming language. We also do this with profile records by leveraging flatbuffers.

So in the end, what does this achieve? It enables you to store as much nostr data as you want with near zero query and serialization overhead. Since the data stored in nostrdb is just flatbuffers, you can access data directly from the operating system's page cache (just a pointer to memory) and from any programming language via flatbuffer's schema and codegen tools. It's so fast it will be guaranteed once of the fastest things in your codebase. You can even run it in your main UI thread so you can worry about other things such as UX and design without introducing complex async logic in your user interface.

## What's next

nostrdb is already partially integrated into Damus iOS. Damus uses nostrdb's compact note format for storing notes in memory, but eventually everything will be switched to use nostrdb directly. The next version of Damus testflight will remove the in-memory and core-data profile cache and switch to nostrdb profiles. Damus currently has a complex in-memory trie data structure for profile searches, but it only knows about profiles it has seen during the current session. This is a common source of confusion, sometimes Damus doesn't auto-complete profiles it has already seen sometime in the past. nostrdb profile searches will allow @ mentions and user search to find every profile it has ever seen in realtime. This will be a huge usability win for Damus and other clients looking to adopt nostrdb.

Right now nostrdb exposes its functionality via direct function calls: `ndb_get_profile`, etc. The plan is that most of these calls won't be necessary. Once nostrdb has nostr filter parsing, it will be able to support dynamic queries of the kind you would expect from your typical nostr relay. This will turn nostrdb-powered clients into relays themselves.

Once nostrdb is more relay-like, then we will be able to leverage strfry's negentropy set-reconciliation queries to only fetch notes that we don't already have. This will be insanely useful for reducing bandwidth usage when querying strfry relays. Eventually it may make the most sense to just let nostrdb do all the websocket querying behind the scenes, becoming a kind of local multiplexing relay.

The future of nostrdb is very exciting. I plan on using it in Damus NoteDeck and Damus Android, why duplicate all this work in every client? nostrdb will make developing native clients much easier.

## Support

Damus and nostrdb are mainly supported by donations. nostrdb is open source, MIT-licensed. Damus is GPL. We are dedicated to building the best and most free open source tech on nostr. If you would like to support our work, please consider [buying our merch](https://store.damus.io) !

Damus Code, your own GitHub for your company.

I have much bigger ambitions for Damus than just iOS. I want damus to be the best brand in nostr, with the best tech and tools. I don’t want to put everything into a single app, which is why I’m trying to make native client dev as simple as possible by extracting the complexity into nostrdb. It should be much easier to spin up specific native microapps for different use cases.

Micro apps is just the Unix philosophy, and Damus will embrace this:

Following up nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s ‘s announcement about our new #damus team addition, I wanted to acknowledge the incredible folks who applied, interviewed with us over the past few weeks. We were overwhelmed with the talent but more importantly the absolute #bullshit passion that these people have for #nostr and #freedomtech. It’s insane. From all over the world! It only means good things for this community and the future. We hope to bring more of them on board as we build and also that they all can eventually find places to contribute here. We are winning. 💜 thanks so much everyone!


So glad you’re coming back here more! 💜

Mr E and I having dinner at our local Italian restaurant and Michael Buble (pretty sure it’s him) walks in with a massive bouquet of balloons for a party sitting beside us lol. Should I try to get him on #nostr? 😂


I would enjoy watching with you 😍


Mr e singing. ‘Do you know what that song’s about mommy? I made it myself and it’s about the future. It’s going to be so cool in the future. I can’t wait to see what’s going to happen.’ The name of the song: ‘The’ 🎤😂 #musicstr

Games have a concept of "incremental discovery. Where higher level of complexity is revealed over time. I wish social profiles had a concept like this, where I have normie posts on my main feed, but I also have obscure posts that I don't want others to see unless they dig more into subtopics I post, a kind of
"subprofile". I have lots of posts on linux I would like to post but I know most of my follows might not care for it. It would be nice if you could go to someones profile and subscribe to their “subfeeds”.


damus relay now allows tor connections, i only had that enabled because at the time I didn’t have any ratelimiting scripts. enjoy 🤙 nostr:note1tm7gq4ct3jw4rlv83pe2ftz9hmgcn390us5zfcqdnuuashcmxjrqpgak07

Except when your 1 hr flight gets delayed , then you can’t land, so you circle around, go back to your destination and can’t actually get there at all…and we could have driven in that time lol. Recent events 😂


Prolonged inactivity…🤔


Did you order one?? Store.damus.io 😍


and I’m sure random fun stuff scattered in between 😂


Everything’s on the roadmap but short term is very focused on 1) Nostrdb to fix the profile (notifications) crash stuff and 2) crashes/freezing on iOS 17 (another bug/🍎 thing). 💜


still have plenty of room to platform all of your amazing keynotes, workshops, & panels at #Nostrasia

This is 2 of 2 of the main crashes. This one is preventing us from a new App Store release so if anyone has a fix pls let us know #damusteam is working on it but it’s tricky. Seems to be with iOS 17 and some 16s… and that recaps the current #damus priorities 😂


It is… he’s very actively working on this…it’s part of the profile database….so #nostrdb fixes this… and the very first part of that addresses profiles so hopefully fix coming soon! nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s did I explain that correctly? Lol
