After working on this on and off for 7 days, I've finally finished implementing NIP-44 encryption in Swift for use on Apple platforms! This will replace the unrecommended NIP-04 encryption. Definitely lost a few hairs and gained a few gray ones. 😅 Thanks to nostr:npub1qlk0nqupxmlyxravg0aqscxmcc4q4tq898z6x003rykwwh3npj0syvyayc for reviewing my PR to Nostr SDK for Apple Platforms and thanks to nostr:npub16zsllwrkrwt5emz2805vhjewj6nsjrw0ge0latyrn2jv5gxf5k0q5l92l7 from Nos for pair programming with me when I got stuck.

I’ve submitted a forked copy to the shared nip44 repo. Please review and double-check my work if you’re able to read Swift code. All the test vectors pass, though. nostr:npub10jcnehsxwrjepupvh602pl83up0dh3wv3fqfwv062smygqvpeuwsk03kag nostr:npub1gcxzte5zlkncx26j68ez60fzkvtkm9e0vrwdcvsjakxf9mu9qewqlfnj5z nostr:npub1acg6thl5psv62405rljzkj8spesceyfz2c32udakc2ak0dmvfeyse9p35c

Remember to restart the app after you’ve activated it. You should be able to zap posts and not just profiles.


Send a GET request to the relay URL with the accept header set to “application/nostr+json”. This should return a document with some information about the relay. This document should contain an “icon” key with a url (if set in the config). The NIP doc should give a good explanation of how this works.

It’s important to never let the todo list become empty😄


It's still open if you want to do it. I looked at it but I have no experience what so ever with c++ and gave up on doing it myself for now.

https://github.com/hoytech/strfry/issues/102


I don't force close apps very often but it usually doesn't complain do that might be why


I see that your relay don't have the event, I find it on my relay wss://nostr.oxtr.dev though. You could try to add my relay and see if you find it then


I ran nostr-rs-relay until last year when I switched over to strfry which seemed to be a bit more performant. I didn't have any problems with compiling back then. Best is probably to create an issue in the nostr-rs-relay repo and describe your issue there.
If you want to check out strfry, here is the link to the repo: https://github.com/hoytech/strfry.


What's the best relay to run rn? Had trouble compiling nostr-rs-json and sqlx-macros last night and don't know enough rust to properly debug. Might actually be an system resource issue, tmp file size, it appears to be more like a memory leak. I'll give it another go but any tips appreciated.


Hello rustaceans , is there any IRC server written in rust ?


You'll get the same issues as Nitter did though. To screenshot a tweet you need to load the tweet but to load it you need to be logged in. If you're logged in, you'll get rate limited after 500 tweets (iirc). Nitter solved it by creating many "guest users" which is not possible anymore.


You never actually "join" a channel such as this one. When you send a message in a NIP-28 channel, the note you're broadcasting contains your message and a reference (an e-tag to be exact) to the id of the channel.

You could also try to search for the note id: note19tfydgy5lmjgcmj9thgn6avataqmtg3nzg84wxwcr67pjdg82x2qacec06


If I tag the note for the channel creation in this thread, maybe it propagates to your relay?

@note19tfydgy5lmjgcmj9thgn6avataqmtg3nzg84wxwcr67pjdg82x2qacec06


I even got rate limited reading nostr:npub17z5teltz5kufdfacea93qzglenjk8ec3g8lwjutd9l74x26vn0ss58zvyz's tweets from the COPA v CSW trial

nostr:nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzpvkkwr098vnkj8qvxsqzykm9cddzd5rqjw7vg86gllr3uzg8l822qyghwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnhd9hx2tcpr9mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuumwdae8gtnnda3kjctv9uqzq36hrzjs3lpqkrpyu6dzqtjt28xmfztplsver57uqnzck555xk6jmmvhel


If anyone with C++ experience are bored and want to contribute to something, I made a GH issue to add support for an icon URL in the NIP-11 document Strfry serves.


If anyone needs to get around Apple's Zap blocking in nostr:npub18m76awca3y37hkvuneavuw6pjj4525fw90necxmadrvjg0sdy6qsngq955, I've started hosting nostr:npub1k92qsr95jcumkpu6dffurkvwwycwa2euvx4fthv78ru7gqqz0nrs2ngfwd's workaround script website on my server too. GFY #Apple.

https://damuszap.oxtr.dev/


You should be able to set up Nitter with your own Twitter account but I believe that's a breach of TOS so Elon will probably start crying over your API "abuse" and shut you out. If he doesn't throw you out, you'll definitely get rate limited. The only way this works is to buy access to a lot of API req's which probably will be pretty expensive.


Maybe your relays don't have the events for this chat room?


Started working on a bot that could reply to Twitter links with a Nitter URL but then I remembered that Elon killed Nitter..


I don’t know shit about mobile dev but is that allowed today? E.g. Breez wallet will complain in a notification to you if you don’t open the app within 24 or 48 hours, asking you to open the app to sync to the tip of the chain etc.


How will it keep updating in the background? IIRC Apple devices will put an app to sleep if it’s not actively used?

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.

Damus Purple (v1.7) is officially released on the appstore! Check out whats new in this release! 👀

🗣 nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s


you own your data (contact list, posts, profile, etc). This is pretty unique, in every other online app the company owns your data and they are just letting you access it until they say you can’t.

your data is portable, it can be stored on your devices and copied to many relays. This effectively makes your online presence unbannable and undeplatformable

you are not just cattle for big tech to sell ads to.

It’s borderless. the protocol integrates the native money of the internet (sats via nostr #zaps) so you can freely transfer value to anyone in the world if you like their post.

Its bridged to other protocols like activitypub so its not isolated to just nostr weirdos

There are 10+ quality clients to choose from if you don’t like the one you first tried. No other social media protocol has this level of client development.


It’s like a «professional» edition of The Human Centipede😂

For those that are new to Nostr, hello!

What’s cool about it is that Nostr it is an open source protocol. It is not a centralized company, but rather is a protocol that individuals and companies can build upon.

This means that you can use many different applications to access it, or even build your own. And it means that there is no central authority that can take down posts or delete accounts; there are different servers operated by different entities that are storing the data. And there is no central algorithm for determining what posts people see or don’t see.

You can hook up a bitcoin lightning wallet to send and receive tips (“zaps”) on posts. Nostr itself is not a blockchain or crypto and has no token, but the Bitcoin blockchain does complement it well via zaps.

Nostr is still relatively small, and a bit rough around the edges. But the community here is great, and familiarizing yourself with the technology and concept is useful in a world of centralized social media. It is a new method of decentralization that balances various trade-offs in a novel way, and the protocol can be used for a lot more than just social media.

Welcome!

This probably happens because other people haven’t fetched your latest profile update containing the new ln address. After some time, their apps will fetch your latest changes and their zaps will flow to your new address instead🤙


What is TopBuilder?


Roman Sterlingov’s conviction for running a mixer is a dangerous legal precedent

The only hard evidence for him to serve 20 years in prison is that his KYC Bitcoin went through many hops and wallets before it later was used to buy a domain name. Which was then used for illegal activity.

This would mean that you’re responsible for the future actions of anyone you pay

# Relays

Tik Tok, X, Facebook, and Instagram all use the old model - a single "relay". With those apps, when you make a post, the post is sent from your phone to the company's "relay". When someone else views your post, their phone downloads your post from the company's "relay". When you follow someone or they follow you, only the company's "relay" knows this. ("Relay" = server)

Nostr uses the new model - one or more relays. With nostr apps, when you make a post, the post is sent from your phone to one or more relays, all owned and controlled by different people. When someone else views your post, their phone downloads the post from anyone of those relays. When you follow someone or they follow you, all your relays and their relays know this.

That's a major difference:
Old = a single company controlled relay/server
Nostr = many independently controlled relays/servers

If the first nostr TikTok client isn’t named “TikTokstr”, I’ll be mad


Welcome to the new #nostr arrivals. 🤗

My advice, play with as many if the different clients as possible. They do more than just replace a popular social app. There's music, shopping, food recipes, streaming, chat rooms, writing, searching, reference, and more. There are even dashboards to save your favorites so you can find them quickly. And you only need ONE set of username (npub) and password (nsec) to use all of them. #introductions

And remember to follow some of the devs. That's how you learn about upgrades to the clients. 🫂

I've been on here for a year. I promise you'll love it using this more than the other apps. ☕💋


Self sovereignty is the ultimate liberation.

#HOWDONOSTR

What are relays?

Nostr relays are decentralized servers that are used to store and transmit notes and events on the Nostr protocol. They are essential for the operation of Nostr, as they allow users to communicate with each other without having to rely on a central server. Nostr relays are sometimes referred to as the "dumb" powerhouses of the protocol.

Nostr relays are run by volunteers all over the world. This makes Nostr censorship-resistant, as it is not possible for any one entity to control all of the relays.

When a user creates a note or event on Nostr, clients broadcast this information to the user's relays to be stored and later retrieved by other clients. Nostr relays are also responsible for verifying the authenticity of notes. This is done by using a cryptographic signature that is attached to each note. When a user receives a note, their client verifies the signature to ensure that the note has not been tampered with.

Nostr relays are a critical part of the Nostr protocol. They allow users to communicate with each other censorship-resistantly, securely, and anyone can run one.

What relays should I use?

You want to use a diverse set of relays along with relays that your friends, family, and people you know use. If you do not share at least one relay in common with someone, you may not be able to communicate with one another across the nostr protocol.

Nostr clients will either bootstrap a list of pre-configured, default relays for you to use or recommend relays for you to use. These are a good place to start, but it's recommended to reach out to your friends to see what relays they are using or to join a local community or interest based relay.

A list of all nostr relays can be found at https://nostr.watch

Should I run my own relay?

Yes.

This puts you in charge of your social data and your entire social graph for the very first time.

This helps you stay censorship resistant. If a relay would happen to censor you, ban you, or disappear, you still have all of your data on your own personal relay.

I’m unfamiliar with bitcoin lingo, relays etc, so I’ve got a LOT to learn. I’m not very tech savvy (even though I’m only 27, so I probably should be 😆) and have only ever used mainstream social media platforms like #tiktok #instagram #facebook #discord #twitter (or #x now). I have a few questions for the #nostr community:

1. What are zaps?
2. How do I find different relays and what relays would y’all suggest?

Nostr can't, and should not, prevent anyone from naming their account something, ever. The best practical solution we have so far is NIP-05 where someone can verify themselves with their own domain. As you mentioned in other replies, many people use third party services to set up their NIP-05 verification and yes, people can most certainly use it to impersonate you. I don't know who you are so I can't ask you IRL which third party provider your real account uses. There has been some attempts at web of trust and the like but I don't remember any practical solution that has been implemented across the board that actually works well yet. Other than a proper NIP-05 setup, the second best way is to verify through other channels such as social profiles, websites, and endorsements from other users you trust. E.g. when nostr started to take off (early 2023), I found good use of services such as nostr.directory where people had verified their nostr pubkey in a Tweet. When prominent and well known people have joined nostr, I have always been sceptical but accepted it when I saw people I trust confirm that it was a real account. It's not a perfect solution but so far it has worked pretty well for me, and I'm excited to see which solutions we come up with for this over the next 10 years.

You've certainly pissed some people off over the year, that's for sure 😂 Happy to see that nostr has given you a place to be you. We can't expect everyone to agree on everything, that's just not going to happen, so keep doing you Onyx.Vixen 🤙


It is, a lot more diverse content in my feed over the last couple of months


Ayy lmfao, you guys weren’t joking😂😂


I just heard the scariest story in a while. Someone told me that they had been traveling in China and, on the way out, the border police pulled up a tool that showed countless photos of this person taken by public surveillance cameras during their visit.

These are CCTV cameras in public. Faces classified with AI. All data gathered in a central location. Don't even think for a second this is never going to happen where you live.

That's a level of dystopia I didn't know we were already in.


This is the funniest thread I've read in a while, lmfao


1) Human speech is not machine code. It doesn't need to compile and run dynamically. It has no merge conflicts.
It doesn't need git. Not everything needs git.

2) Small errors and invented words allow speech to naturally evolve, over time. That is one way that vocabulary expands and adapts to the current time and environment, and it fuels a sense of community to share this "new, local vocabulary".

3) It also encourages more people to write, as they know that their errors or local dialects will be glossed over and the readers will focus on their core message.

4) If someone worries about typos, let them use a client with a spell-check. (I'm sure the people implementing note-policing also took the time to implement a spell-check, right?)

5) Not everything needs to be a "community-approved idea". Novel or controversial ideas are often offensive. Offensive people are often creative and ingenuitive. Those individuals also have free speech rights and should be allowed to speak their truth freely, without being harrassed.

6) Debates have value. Replying to an idea, rather than demanding it be rewritten, creates a conversation in the public square, and allows people who are being harrassed and intimidated to be defended by their friends. Much wickedness occurs in darkness.

7) Kind 01 notes were the universal note and all clients were designed to specialize in their display. Changing that dynamic shouldn't be a spontaneous, unilateral decision by a large provider. Which is why I have left that provider, for wantonly abusing a market position.

8) Do not offer a doorway to tyrannical impulses. That door will always be opened. We have all come to know that software developers can become tyrants. That is why we are here.

9) Merely because it has become technologically possible to do something, doesn't mean that other clients or users are forced to accept it. Expect there to be "free speech clients" and "anti-forker filters" coming soon, and those feeds will contain different displays of notes than on the conformist apps.

10) Again: This is the original note. There is no other version of this note and there will not be another version.


Wtf is that last point? You can already mute other npubs? Govern my speech harder dear nostr community.

Lots of rumors going on with WW3 and it's very hard to filter out the bullshit from the truth today. I'm increasingly scared something will happen as NATO expands their territory. Will Putin do anything about it? I have no idea. I have no idea what he thinks and there are so much propaganda from both ends of the spectrum that it's hard to figure out what will happen. All I know is that Putin doesn't like NATO expansion and NATO keeps expanding.

Then again, everything seems to be a psyop these days.

Federated services like Mastodon and Lemmy suffer from pseudo-centralization where larger instances can bully smaller instances into censoring content they ideologically disagree with.

Operators are immature and do not take the position serious and will defederate out of spite over personal slapfights.

Nostr is a better service and is resistant from this problem. If you want less cryptobros on it, encourage more non-cryptobros to use it.

That’s fair but I do want to run a lightning node, BTCPayServer, maybe a cashu mint, etc on it so I want it to be able to handle some workload more than just the bitcoin node itself


AFAIK we don’t. I don’t know of any way we can verify the authenticity of the emails


If I see someone talk about who might be satoshi, I lose all respect for them instantly. Ignore whether we should or shouldn’t, accusing someone of being satoshi puts them at very real physical risk.

There’s plenty of people who want to kidnap satoshi seeking some bitcoin. Don’t set someone up, you might actually get them killed.

"Lawyers fear the 52-year-old could be confined alone in a ‘concrete coffin’, a 12ft by 7ft chamber – with a window 3ft high but just four inches wide, designed to ensure that the inmate has no view other than sky or wall. Inside it, his bed, desk and stool will be made of poured concrete too.

Under this regime, meals are passed through a slot in the door and inmates use a stainless steel sink, toilet and shower inside their cell, meaning they don’t even leave to eat or wash.

Once every 24 hours, they are allowed out for an hour to exercise in a small, individually caged space, often sunken, like an empty swimming pool, to prevent them getting any sense of their bearings within the prison complex."

In 2012, Julian sounded a warning, what he called a watchman's shout into the night:

“Recall that states are the systems which determine where and how coercive force is consistently applied.

The question of how much coercive force can seep into the platonic realm of the internet from the physical world is answered by cryptography and the cypherpunk's ideals.

As states merge with the internet and the future of our civilization becomes the future of the internet, we must redefine force relations.

If we do not, the universality of the internet will merge global humanity into one giant grid of mass surveillance and mass control.”

He published this in 2012.

The censors are not just after Julian and WikiLeaks. The objective is not simply to suppress recent history. Julian's ongoing imprisonment has emboldened the censors.

They have turned their sights to the present, seeking the total control over the public domain itself. Our voice and our ears, our collective reality.

A world in which Julian is free is a world that will continue to build initiatives that that recognize what we're up against.

Free Julian, free us all.

The US/UK should free Assange, free Ulbricht, pardon Snowden, and double-down on freedom as a contrast. They won't, but they should.

Russia is way more politically controlled and censored than their western counterparts, but if the western counterparts were smart they would emphasize this fact rather than lean more into being even half-like Russia.

On tuesday next week, Julian Assange's final hearing takes place in the UK. If he loses this, he will likely be on his way to the US where he will most definitely not get a fair trial. Australian politicians approved a motion calling for the release of Julian Assange but this is simply too late imo, seems more like a symbolic moral action from their side than anything else. Assange has been tortured for many years in the Ecuadorian embassy in London and in Belmarsh prison, and is in very bad physical and mental health according to his wife nostr:npub1xw7h0efeg5s8gla2uyu55jh4lfrlgppcjemrwkmdc7lgvhkcz3fqpvumsa.

https://m.primal.net/Hcpe.jpg


Nostr is a giant shit show.  The fact that our software interoperates at all is a miracle and probably just a temporary anomaly. Given enough time, the relentless breaking changes being made to published NIPs will eventually break everything.

Linux succeeded because "WE DO NOT BREAK USERSPACE". For nostr to succeed, changes must "NOT BREAK EXISTING IMPLEMENTATIONS". There shouldn't be any exceptions to that EVEN IF THE IMPLEMENTATION WAS NON-COMPLIANT.

Pay close attention to Linus right here:

  > Are you saying that pulseaudio is entering on some weird loop if the
  > returned value is not -EINVAL? That seems a bug at pulseaudio.

  Mauro, SHUT THE FUCK UP!

  It's a bug alright - in the kernel. How long have you been a
  maintainer? And you *still* haven't learnt the first rule of kernel
  maintenance?

  If a change results in user programs breaking, it's a bug in the
  kernel. We never EVER blame the user programs. How hard can this be to
  understand?

Linus doesn't want to break pulseaudio EVEN THOUGH pulseaudio was doing the wrong thing.

It seems like every week I find a NIP that I've coded for has changed. This last week I think it happened three times already. Sometimes it's a small change and I quickly update my code. But I can't read all the PRs, and I'm afraid dozens of small changes have slipped past my notice. Gossip is probably now incompatible with multiple other implementations which happen to have implemented different versions of the same NIPs (some older, some newer).

Even if we didn't have any breaking changes, the simple fact that different software implements different optional NIPs itself presents to end users like broken software. Why does it work in Damus but not Amethyst? Why does it work in Amethyst but not Coracle? That is an even harder problem to solve.

But let's at least solve the easier problem and stop changing NIPs.  If you don't like a NIP make a new one, don't break the current one. Even if you think the current one sucks balls and should have never happened. Even if you think there aren't many implementations out there.


This is the way🫡 Please report to the devs what you think is bad or good so that we can improve whatever sucks.

After almost 4+ years, 487 comments from 19 reviewers...

the spec proposal for adding v2 opens (aka dual-funding) to lightning is officially merged as spec in LN!!

huge thanks to Bastien Teinturier, Rusty Russell, Dustin Dettmer,
 Matt Morehouse and countless others for their review and input on the spec.

doing spec work is a really long process, that requires so much work and input from lots of different stakeholders. it's probably the hardest type of work a programmer can do, and i'm so so thrilled that we got this over the finish line!

As you might have guessed (from the photos I keep posting, mostly), I really love the place where I'm fortunate enough to live. It's a small town in northern Italy. We're surrounded by 3000m peaks, Lake Como is a short drive away, and the people are warm, welcoming, and hard-working.

My wife and I moved here 14 years ago with no more expectation than trying to figure out how we could live in the alps to climb and ski right outside our backdoor. Over those 14 years, Valchiavenna has become our home.

For a long time, I've been plotting and scheming about how I could give more back to this community that has given me so much and over the last few months, with the help of many local friends, all the pieces have started to come together.

Bitcoin Chiavenna is aimed at building a stronger Chiavenna using Bitcoin but; more broadly, it's a project focused on exploring how small, often marginalized, rural communities can benefit from adopting Bitcoin.

Chiavenna is the perfect petri dish for experimentation. We have local hydro power generation (run by a local coop). We are a stone's throw from Switzerland, which brings both tourism and shows local government how sane (and very minimal) regulation of digital assets can be beneficial. And, unlike many small towns in Italy, we have a large population of young entrepreneurs who haven't bailed for the big city and have started dozens of local businesses.

My hope is that our education and our learnings will be beneficial for other towns across Europe and North America. Many of whom, facing the death of their traditional industries, are having to find new ways to thrive, and do so without becoming wholly dependent on the central government for handouts.

I grew up in a small town. I live in a small town. I want to see tens of thousands of vibrant, wealthy, interesting, weird small towns across the planet. And I want them all to run on Bitcoin.

If you're with me, I'd love your support. We've just launched a Geyser project to raise funds for the first phase of several projects. We've got some cool rewards listed there, with more coming in the future.

And if anyone is coming through the area, let me know. I'd be happy to show you around and help you leave a few sats behind at local businesses!

Onwards and upwards! 🏔🚀

Everyone comes back for the Nostr bull run. Some of us have always been bullshit, building this whole time.
