 I believe we are currently witnessing the demise of Big Tech.

 Noticed. 
 GraphQL or REST? 

Currently switching back to REST. 
 I am starting to like OpenApi. 
 Progressing slowly with the new design. Man would I love to have more time to spend per day.

But eventually, I will get it online.

 Thanks for using our service.  
 Excellent idea to combine Nostr and "legacy" world and a good stating point to add features on top.

👍 
 "True" or "false" are absolutes that do not apply here.  
 There will be many more best days.

 
 I am just wondering why I do not get a search result in Amethyst when I enter a Nostr address that has not published anything?

The user can be NIP05 queried but I don't get anything in Amethyst.

Any reason for that @Vitor Pamplona? Am I doing something wrong?

 Good morning, all. Does anyone see this note?  
 Yes, I see it. 
 Building a nostr client on my own after having a shit ton of set back (unnecessary excuses)

God ... 
 You will get the job done with any such framework (if you want to go for the web).

Depends solely on your experience and skills with them.

 
 Receive #emails as DMs sent diectly to your Nostr address.

Send #emails as DMs directly from your Nostr address.

It's that easy

 Hello world! #introductions 
 Hi rockiem and welcome to 'NIP05.social'. 
 Hi Disturbia. 
 most people think email is bad because the only client they’ve ever used is gmail 
 Check out "NIP05.social". It enables email receiving and sending to/from Nostr.

Let me know if you need a promo code for the PRO plan. 
 I have some questions about #nip46:

Is the "connect" method only a message from client to signer?

The section "# Started by the client" says:

"The signer scans the QR code and sends a CONNECT message to the client..."

This indicates that the connect message could also be from signer to client (besides the event examples for signer and client saying something else).
If that is the case, what would be the two connect params (pubkey and secret)? That does not make sense to me?

#asknostr

 I see that the nip is currently undergoing some changes:

https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/1047 
 In general, I want to understand the current specification first.

I did a Nip46 remote signer implementation before the "bunker era" which is now broken. I have several ideas for a new thing but find the current spec unclear and ambiguous.

From a client UX perspective, I find anything with manually copying or scanning not acceptable. So, my new remote signer (service) should be able to be integrated into an automated flow. 
 Looking forward to it. 
 I am still trying to understand the discussion you have. What I am not understanding is:

Why has the bunker connection token the remote_user_pubkey? I initially thought that the signer side would have its own keys for communication that don't need to be the same than the credentials a client is requesting (e.g. via get_publik_key).


 
 Thanks for the link and your patience.

I think I get the current concept. But it still feels odd to me to "use the user's key for communication". Does that not make the method get_public_key obsolete? 

I know that is another discussion as the one currently going on. 
 Then it really is a slightly different approach as with NIP07, where the get_publik_key totally makes sense.

Thank you for clarifying. 
 I think the concept of "layers" has been beaten to death and stretched way too thin, to the point... 
 This totally makes sense. I like your approach.

 I know this "illness" and also suffered from it. But it can be cured 😃. I am now able to read 2-3 books in parallel and even stop and not finish bad ones.

There is hope. Don't give up. 
 Working on a relay implementation for "NIP05.social" users. Challenging but gratifying. 
 I was looking for a production ready implementation that I could easily integrate into my "NIP05.social" backend (Node.js, TypeScript, Microsoft SQL server).

I also wanted NIP-42 support for authentication to only allow registered users onto the relay.

I was not really surprised to find none of the available relay implementations a good match and therefore decided to implement the relay myself.

I checked the relay implementation "Nostream" which is written in  TypeScript to get some ideas. A really cool project.

 Which Nostr web clients support NIP-42?

#asknostr 
 Thank you very much. 

You can also use your nostr address as #email address and receive emails as DMs on nostr (EMAIL IN). Don't forget to activate that for your  address in your account.

EMAIL OUT (sending a DM that will be delivered as email) will also be available soon. 
 EMAIL OUT is now also available.

 Since the time we have on this shore is ultimately limited and finite, "time" is the most valuable thing we have at all.

How we spend it or with whom shows what or who we value.

 While that might be true, I still want to congratulate @jb55 for the successful launch and all the hype around it. Well done.
