Every time someone got a new album it was time to make copies 😂 I remember my father having get togethers where friends & family would bring albums over, and everyone would leave with new mix tapes.

It's a different world 💯🫡 I remember using Scotch tape to mend eaten mixtapes that I loved to listen to.


Bookmarked for history


I had this as a bootleg tape in the late 90's, obtained through a friend of a friend. I kept a "master" copy stored away, while I would listen to copies I had dubbed, lest it be eaten and I would lose it forever.

One of the last live performances by Nirvana. I've listened to this so many times every note is tattooed onto my brain. Enjoy 🎶💜

# How to Build a Faked Social Network on Top of Nostr for Fame and Profit

Say you want to build a social network on nostr to monetize your users by paying them small Zap amounts to do "tasks" that make you money. These tasks could be filling out surveys or gamifying something that does not need gamifying. This post will walk you through every step to ensure everything looks legit and even get you to the point where you can raise VC money or at least appease your current ones.

**Note:** This is a thought experiment and does not represent any honest company or group. I do not recommend building what I am about to describe. It would be lame and fraudulent (potentially). Use any of this at your own risk!

## How and Why

You want to entice non-technical users to do tasks to get "rewarded" in Sats (Zaps). Say a survey company will pay you $5 per user who fills out the survey. You can reward the user with 10,000 Sats; they might think that is great! Which is somewhere around $0.40

First, you would build your custom nostr client and create a walled garden nostr relay; only your users on your client can write events. Everyone can read from this relay, which is suitable for appearances.

Then, you create many fake or sockpuppet accounts on your client/relay combo. It can be done manually or with some simple scripts to generate engagement and repost others' notes. It would be a way of creating Daily Active Users (DAUs). After this step, it is just a process of repeating daily.

Zapvertising would be an easy and cheap way to gain traction and become a "Legend" on nostr for auto-zapping almost anyone—especially your users. One important thing would be not to allow users to add other relays in your custom client. You need these real users to be behooved to your client and relay.

Now, we can leverage LLMs to create posts, have the scripts or company users repost, and generate engagement chains to legitimize the notes.

After a few months, you can show your investors (or potential ones) nifty charts and graphs of DAUs and the levels of engagement and tasks "users" have done to show what a success it is. From the outside, it may come off as odd to general nostr users but most likely would slip through easily. Outside observers could not see the IPs used by clients using your custom client since that is on your client and relay, which you control. The only way oddness can be discovered by doing due diligence is by doing frequency and linguistics analysis of notes.

Most nostr users who want to see the protocol grow in usage would turn a blind eye to this since it fulfills their goals when all is said and done.

To further ensure this activity is not discovered, it could keep users from exporting their nsec from the custom client you create. Claim it is for the use case of keeping non-technical users from exposing their keys.

Another easy way to create more buzz is to Zap wash your personal, fake, and sockpuppet accounts to make it seem like a lot of zapping is happening.

## Profit

Now, you have a fully insulated social network that leverages a much larger open one in nostr. You can appease your investors and even raise another round with all the "proof" of engagement and usage. Attract real users to complete more surveys and do tasks you get the lion's share of money for doing. Most due diligence or investors already working with you would take your word for the vast usage and numbers in front of them. Worst case, delete the logs and hide the LLM/scripts from them when the time comes.

There are so many prophetic lines in this film, I think that's what makes it so great. The writers were well spoken, as you would expect, but even the laborers had something important to say and articulated it well.


'Farewell, Etaoin Shrdlu'

I find this documentary absolutely fascinating. It covers the night the NYT switched from linotype to computer layout.

The linotype is as steampunk as can be, and the computer layout system is laughable by today's standards. I still think the film stands as a great look at a huge technological shift, and a captivating glimpse into the past.

Keep your old wallet around. I've noticed when I switched lightning address it would take a while. I've got a few zaps to the old wallet weeks later.


The eNuts experience however cool makes me want to just have a button that says “make private” on a lightning invoice and that automatically handles all of the minting / exchanging as a backend process invisible to the user.


alias gnpv="systemctl suspend"


Me neither, really. Cryptography is a pretty opaque topic.

At a basic layer the mint receives sats via lightning, then it can transfer them between users who connect wallets to that mint, which can then be sent out to a lightning wallet. That's pretty simple.

How the privacy preserving part works I'm not so sure.

https://docs.cashu.space/protocol


It is useful for privacy. You can also run your own mint.

"Cashu is a free and open-source Chaumian ecash system built for Bitcoin. Cashu offers near-perfect privacy for users of custodial Bitcoin applications. Nobody needs to knows who you are, how much funds you have, and with whom you transact with."

Nostrdesign.org does not have an attached community because I believe we are all better off by not erecting new walls. Nostr IS the community and provides great levels of transparency to the subject that impacts every one of us.

Designers don’t have all the answers. Everyone can provide feedback, insights and ideas that may create a stronger ecosystem. It felt wrong to me to gate such important matters to a “designer” community.

Ultimately, I settled on an existing hashtag #nostrdesign . It helps organize questions and comments and is easily accessible from any client instantly. No new walls needed.

On a personal level, I felt it is important for me to communicate with the tools we are building as a community. It felt wrong to talk about nostr on anywhere but nostr. If it doesn’t need to be private, talking about it here works just fine.

This was lightning to lightning. That is just a note I entered in the transaction for myself. I was using the external boltz swap service to maintain my channel size in Phoenix, the atomic swap happens after the lightning invoice is paid. This is a standard lightning payment.

https://cdn.nostr.build/p/jLyj.jpg


I set up Mutiny wallet today. Did a transaction of the same size. Cost me 11 sats for the fee.

I also have been doing this for months with Phoenix, and the fees jumped up big time. I've already closed my Phoenix wallet and switched to using Mutiny. In my testing today fees were incredibly lower, over 6000 sats in Phoenix vs 11 sats in Mutiny, for a similar lightning to lightning send.


This was a lightning send to boltz, not a send to BTC address within Phoenix. Those are lightning fees!


I though lightning was supposed to save you from fees. I would have paid less on chain. Wtf?

https://cdn.nostr.build/p/W8Y3.jpg


Fees are more on lightning sends for sure. I'm waiting on Zeus to enter beta then I think I will switch to their on device node implementation.


To avoid this issue with slicing, use https://boltz.exchange/ to swap to on chain. You will maintain your lightning channel capacity.

nostr:nevent1qqspfl9qsqu8uxwz0jmv89c4hyckyeu2uz8gftzl6akaf2nkfzasddcpp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqzyrsrf4j5sqkhe74z6sdf22qpq4q3fcy666349v5z3r3rqaw2jxvpgqcyqqqqqqgmv9tat


That is an unfortunate side effect. I used https://boltz.exchange/ to swap out without losing capacity!


Oof. That's why I still keep a small amount in Alby for zapping.


👀

I haven't switched yet, I still have a big channel that is empty, and I want to get some sats in there to preserve it.

What is the difference in fees? I use it to accumulate DCA before moving on chain, so I have very few outgoing transactions.


More propaganda.
