What nostr:npub1g87cqsncznk7llxmkdcrnvcx2kd7pk4fqqcyq7wddggmvfndlelsp94scj said today was very powerful. Nostr is the everything app. I think it has legs as a marketing slogan and explanation of Nostr.

I don’t think we appreciate enough the fact that one 🔑works for all the apps. It’s a mind-blowing concept that some 8bn people are still unaware of.

Having a VC funding strategy can force you to focus on the wrong metrics in the beginning. Should you focus on growth metrics when you have just started to build the product?

Similar networks and even Twitter take gradual growth over a long time to find their users and match with them: trialling.

Yet, safety seldom is a compelling reason to join and explain to others why they should join (it’s not fun/exciting).

There seems to be a lot of momentum for people joining Bluesky now since they don’t know anything better and it has the feel of familiarity from X.

Yet, it feels less developed than nostr in many aspects. There are no possibility of viewing videos, the lists are barely existing, the API gives random errors etc.

I have come across arguments where people justify it because it’s open-source and you can export your data etc. Lot of the things are still intentions without practical actionable substance but they are part of the reasoning. Like Telegram managed to create a reputation for things that it really never was but people still repeat those points.

The notes are great, but we must focus on building the Other Stuff to bring creators to Nostr nostr:npub107jk7htfv243u0x5ynn43scq9wrxtaasmrwwa8lfu2ydwag6cx2quqncxg #nostrasia

The Nostr protocol can be split into 3 separate interoperability layers:

1. Core event data structure with canonicalization, hashing, sign and verify operations

2. Relay network publishing, filters, and authentication with expected client/relay behaviors and event kind ranges.

3. Event kind registry: kinds, common tags, expected behaviors, encrypt / decrypt operations, etc.

There is only one way of implementing 1. This is what defines Nostr as a social-first protocol and the reason we are all here.

There are a few possible protocols for 2. The relay network is our layer-1, but there will be others.

There are thousands of options on 3. Here is where apps shine.

When in Nostr you have arrived.


They have for sure thought about the spec way more but it does not mean that it’s better at the end As Rabble mentioned in his speech today: Betamax did not win even though it was superior.

The speed of Nostr is amazing. The trial-and-error messiness is going to give results that are hard to beat. The multithreading by so many users, apps, builders and ideas at work at the same time.

It’s already here when you use translate.nostr.wine in translation settings, it’s insanely good within damus. I just want to make it available free for damus users and on by default. People think damus doesn’t have it because noone goes into settings to set it up. You shouldn’t have to be a bitcoiner to get it working either. To do that we have to build our own translation service backed by deepl.

To make this affordable we could cache results and reuse translations. nostr:note1gs0u22tcy8dyqtzv2zncg7lp23qpnmzfxns0w2h0fzytg0vj0w9qhz8qc2

Ask the developer of your favorite nostr client to implement it!


In the past month I’ve travelled from Vancouver to LA, amsterdam, bali and now tokyo. at each stop I was able to pay and zap people in every part of the world with 0 friction. Bitcoin is borderless. When you hold bitcoin you have the ability to store and teleport value to any person on the planet. At some point we were convinced we need permission to do this, but not anymore. #Bitcoin the closest thing we have to true freedom, and its ours 🌏🧡


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))
#### 1) (Proposed) [NIP 96: File Storage Integration](https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/547)
NIP 96 seems to be getting momentum, I hope it gets merged soon 💪 Nostur and nostr.build have integrated file storage in a NIP 96 compatible way proving that it works in the real world.

As a reminder NIP 96 proposes a standard way for third party service providers to offer file storage for Nostr users. Standardization allows files to stay off relays but still be relatively cross compatible if users want to have files attached to notes show up in any Nostr client.

#### 2) (Proposed) Update to [NIP 72: Community Posts](https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/753)
This proposed update to Moderated Communities would allow clients to support using event kinds other than 1. Right now, posting on moderated communities (akin to subreddits) makes it so that all posts show up without context on most Nostr clients. Kind 1 events are like tweets, but posts in moderated communities are posted in a context that’s missing on clients like Damus or Amethyst.

This proposal would encourage moderated communities to publish using a different set of event kinds so the posts only show up in clients intended for moderated communities. It continues to gain momentum. nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6 opened and closed a proposed change similar to this as this newsletter was being written, and instead threw some support onto this proposal.

This change would be reverse compatible with current Moderated Communities but still allow for cleaner feeds on clients based on their intended content focus.

## Notable Projects
#### [Zapple Pay’s lightning-based subscriptions](https://w3.do/_SDe46Ih) ♻
The team at Mutiny Wallet’s work on Zapple Pay has helped keep the flow of zaps unblocked since Apple’s capricious decisions to force Damus to disable Zaps. Now they’ve introduced “auto zapping” which is the ability to set up recurring payments (like subscriptions) in a self-sovereign way.

Zaps are great to show support, lightning-gated content is going to be helpful for content creators too, but unlocking subscriptions can truly help content creators make a living on Nostr denominated in the hardest money on Earth. This could be game changing as we’ll discuss later 😉

Authors: nostr:npub1u8lnhlw5usp3t9vmpz60ejpyt649z33hu82wc2hpv6m5xdqmuxhs46turz nostr:npub1t0nyg64g5vwprva52wlcmt7fkdr07v5dr7s35raq9g0xgc0k4xcsedjgqv & Paul Miller

#### [Highlighter 2.0](https://w3.do/smrxRpy1) 📝
If you’re unfamiliar Highlighter is “A nostr client for your most valuable information. Your reading. Your notes. Your thoughts. A place to discover thoughtful, timeless content.” and
nostr:npub1l2vyh47mk2p0qlsku7hg0vn29faehy9hy34ygaclpn66ukqp3afqutajft continues to improve it rapidly.

This latest release improves many aspects, mostly focused on making it THE best way to read, highlight, label, and save content that’s meaningful to you.

On top of that nostr:npub1l2vyh47mk2p0qlsku7hg0vn29faehy9hy34ygaclpn66ukqp3afqutajft has been improving the ability to make money as a content creator via an integration to “subscribe” to support Nostr content creators like you would on Patreon, as well as split zaps for content published via Highlighter.

If you’re not at least using Highlighter to discover content, you’re missing out. In my experience It is the highest concentration of content created by deep thinkers on the internet.

## Latest conversations: Nostr adoption via content creators
Nostr’s main feature right now is that it is freedom tech. So far that hasn’t been enough of a draw for mass Nostr adoption.

We can keep building existing apps on Nostr but we’ll need something truly differentiated for people to rip and replace their content consumption habits with the ones run on Nostr.

We have some unique offerings (beyond censorship resistance) in emerging tech like Highlighter, DVMs, and Zaps. Based on what we’ve seen this week, I believe the next million monthly active users will be driven by content creators moving to Nostr.
[Rita knows that content creators should embrace the Nostr](https://i.nostr.build/m4oK.png)
#### Helping creators make money
Creators tend to flock to where they can make the most money. This is true of content creators and creators of software.

The fact that Apple apps make far more money than Android ones (despite Android dominating the smartphone market) explains why there are so many iPhone only apps.

Video creators and streamers move between Youtube and Twitch based on who is going to offer them the better income (viewership * take home rate).

If we can provide platforms where creators get to keep more of their money, it could be a game changer.

#### Locked into platforms
Content platforms provide two things: audience aggregation and payment aggregation.

*Payments:* The revenue per view of a youtube video is calculable and theoretically Youtube could pay creators their cut of the revenue per view. That isn’t practical because of transaction fees, they’d be larger than the actual transaction.

That’s why platforms serve as payment aggregators between the advertisers, themselves and the creators; settling accounts on a regular basis in amounts that make sense given the payments infrastructure available to them (credit cards and ACH).

*Audience aggregation:* Audiences go where creators are, but creators go where their audience is; the relationship is complicated. Sometimes individual creators have enough power to make or break a platform, but for platforms as big as Youtube that becomes much harder.

Take the example of Spotify and Joe Rogan. That move was worth it in terms of cash for Rogan, and it put Spotify on the map as a podcasting platform. It didn’t really hurt Youtube a whole lot.

The main advantage of using a content platform like Youtube, TikTok, etc is that the audience is there, you “just” need to capture them. The trade off is that you have very little power to set your price.

*Audience non-portability:* If a creator decides to switch from Youtube to Twitch, their followers don’t automatically port over. Creators with strong followings have an ok time when switching but not everyone has that luxury.

This leads to a power imbalance between creators and platforms. Platforms can strike down any creator they want; even though, without creators, these platforms would be nothing. In the absence of a better solution we’re stuck in this disadvantageous equilibrium.

#### Freeing creators with Nostr and Bitcoin
If Nostr + Bitcoin could offer creators ready-to-go solutions that would let creators keep significantly more of their revenue. It just has to be a big enough difference that people make the switch even when Bitcoin and Nostr are unfamiliar to them.

The magic combo  of capabilities on Nostr would be:
Nostr-based versions of all the usual apps for content consumption, as long as they’re high enough quality to not deter users.
Content management tools that are familiar and quality enough for content creators. This would need to include robust file storage and streaming for content (text, video, audio, etc)
Payment infrastructure in the apps (via Lightning) that have low fees and support the structures that are relevant for the content type (pay per article, pay per view, streaming sats as you listen, subscriptions, etc)
Lowest-common-denominator Nostr onboarding. Imagine an end-to-end encrypted Nostr key custodian, so users that are intimidated by keypairs could have a familiar login with email and password.

In this world, new Nostr users that were asked to join by their favorite creator may never interact with the most common clients on Nostr today. They may set up a Nostr user via some “Login with Nostr” solution and then they only interact with the Nostr versions of Twitch, Youtube, Substack, etc.

If the switch is painless for users and creators and the creators make more money, it’s a no-brainer for creators to try out. If it works for them, more will come.

Taylor Swift and Grimes are good people to aim for. Both have enough autonomy to experiment with any platform they want, and both have fought to maximize artists’ take home pay. Can you imagine if we could get every Swiftie on Nostr’s version of Spotify?

#### Why hasn’t this happened yet?
This sounds like “value for value” right? Many talented builders and creators have attempted to crack the “value for value” nut, but something hasn’t clicked yet for mass adoption. The missing link, in my opinion, is the lack of audience portability and how that affects payments.

Value for value (streaming sats for podcasts, or paying to unlock one article at a time) requires some storage of *who* bought access to the content. Otherwise if you switch devices the content platform won’t know you already purchased access. Without Nostr that means signing up for that particular content app and it’s a high bar to start paying for content.

With Nostr, you can login using your Nostr keys and purchase access on any Nostr-based app, using any Lightning wallet, and that access can be attached to your Nostr pub key. It lowers the barrier for users to start paying, which means content creators capture more value.

For some kinds of content, I think all the legos are there for a creator-friendly platforms. With the recent Mutiny wallet announcement of lightning-based subscriptions, there’s no reason not to build a Nostr-based Patreon or Substack. I’ve also seen some work on ways to Zap to unlock content, making the dream of “pay per article” possible.

The last piece missing for a truly seamless on-ramp would be one of these end-to-end encrypted Nostr key custodians. That way clients could offer a “login with Nostr” button and lower the barrier for new users even further.

#### The race to zero take rate
Nostr naturally combats monopolies (at least for clients at this point). The reason that platforms like Youtube and Twitch have a 20-60% take rate is because they’re monopolistic. They sit on their thrones because no one has yet solved the issue of audience aggregation and portability. Nostr breaks that model.

Once creators use Nostr-based platforms, they can switch at nearly no cost. The content is theirs, and the followers are universal, so they can move to a different platform that has a lower take rate without risking their income. They don’t even have to switch platforms at all if their content is stored and unlocked via events on the Nostr Relays themselves, since those are universal across all Nostr clients.

Ideally there would be third parties that host big files (PDFs, Videos, Audio, etc) which creators pay directly. Then these content clients are simply user interfaces for users to upload and consume content. Hell, even logging in is solved by the Nostr protocol itself, and maybe another third-party login provider). The scope of what these platforms need to build and maintain is small; running them will be pretty cheap compared to running Youtube or Patreon.

At first there may be only a few Nostr-based apps because there will be some economies of scale, but over time competition will kick off a race to the bottom. Clients will eventually *only* be able to demand a take rate that covers operating their business (build the app, maybe offering the file hosting/streaming infrastructure, etc).

#### What a future
In this future, platforms have less ability to coerce creators and take their income. Platforms will have a hell of time censoring content creators. Users will get more choice on their experience and their algorithms when consuming content. And the adoption of Bitcoin as a medium of exchange would explode.

It feels like we’re on the cusp of something incredible in the Nostr-verse.

It hangs at times for a few sec. Would help that it shows that something is going on since now it’s unsure whether it’s a UI issue or a hang.

Usually, I find the hangs by trying to navigate in the menus but nothing happens. Not always sure whether it’s the iPad layout that’s not optimised or the app is busy.


Maybe we all need start posting all types of content that may be going to other platforms now and not filtered out stuff that suits the current crypto narrative.

A bigger point: regular users don’t care about the tech. Nostr has been mainly for builders in the beginning but nostr marketing should be more Mac vs. PC ads (benefits vs. features).

If you just assume that stuff works (as it should and it already does mainly) then it’s about whom to connect with and what to share.

Nostr, Love at first site.  From the creator of Drupal.

https://dri.es/nostr-love-at-first-sight


Is there any particular reason why the feeds have stopped months ago?

I just followed your post’s link and those are from the first page.
https://nostrcheck.me/media/public/c1be12b7ada1dc092d54d896b7d54d705c77c683aa44bae2d4c5d32fb40ab8f0.webp


Well I built search bots at https://sb.nostr.band, which quote other notes. That's not the same thing that you're suggesting, but it's similar - a way to discover content that doesn't get into your feed naturally. I saw minimal traction, almost no followers on bots, and quite some complaints and mutes. But those might have been coming from the fact that they mention other posts/users.

I also have a list of some bot accounts here if you'd like to do any research https://nostrudel.ninja/#/lists/naddr1qqzyymm5wvq3vamnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwdehhxarj9e3xzmnyqgsrx4k7vxeev3unrn5ty9qt9w4cxlsgzrqw752mh6fduqjgqs9chhgrqsqqqafsp37r5k

There are also tools for twitter-to-nostr already, and quite some twitter-mirroring bot accounts: https://nostr.band/?q=rss+twitter&type=profiles

I think that experiment (at least a simple/stupid) version of it has been run and saw no traction. Maybe it should just get more sophisticated?


If X’s burning platform is a bit too much how are the alternatives doing:

Nostr:
https://getairchat.com/s/pfPyQtvW


There was/is quite many of those done via the RSS-bridges already but I never found them to work consistently.

Either it was the nostr client changing the relay settings (removing the bridge relay) or something else happened (the bridge stopped updating).

I collected some 50-100 on my following list in the spring but don’t have them anymore.

A micro-bot / service where you could look for your favourite user with their handle (twitter/mastodon/bsky), website address or RSS-feed address might help in discovery and feed population, and add them if they don’t have a feed yet.

This is the other way to do it on the client side:

Soon you have to be anti-everything just not to be anti-anything


The UX is what keeps me away from Damus. It’s the fastest to retrieve new notes and notifications. It’s also solid to show notes that maybe missing from elsewhere. The rest I find lacking.

Some of the things I have noticed (by heart so sorry for errors/things already fixed):

The notes are not presented in a consistent manner. For example, quoted notes were not shown (only the noteid) and the order is not how it’s structured in the OG note source (when links & images).

Search is very limited.

Basic features are missing that you can find in the other browsers. I would encourage use Nostur as a reference.

The iPad UI is horrible. The notes are stretched across the whole width. Scrolling is not smooth.

There’s so much more but just to give some pointers. Happy to elaborate more and keep up the good work.

PS. I did the Finnish translation of Damus some months back but haven’t seen it implemented.


Thanks to some analysis from our intern nostr:npub17plqkxhsv66g8quxxc9p5t9mxazzn20m426exqnl8lxnh5a4cdns7jezx0 ,  according to opt-in AppStore analytics one of the biggest issues with Damus is user retention. 99% of people stop using damus after 6 months.

In the next version we will be looking at ways to get mores users to that “ah ha” moment that gets them to stick around like all of us addicts.

Ideas welcome! Notifications is obviously a big one, but maybe we could make it easier to get people their first sats.

Nostr Media Uploads for WordPress 0.5:

https://github.com/fabianfabian/nostr-media/releases/tag/0.5-alpha


📢 Announcing Highlighter 2.0
Release name: "Sig"

Highlighter has gone through so many changes that it's essentially an entirely new nostr client.

The goal remains the same:

👉 A nostr client for your most valuable information. Your reading. Your notes. Your thoughts. A place to discover thoughtful, timeless content.

I have a lot to say about Highlighter, why I'm building it, what it is and where it's going. how it fits in the mainstream adoption of Nostr, and, to a degree, in the normalization of "keys over passwords", data sovereignty and more.

But these ideas are still rough. Very, very rough and demands a lot of filling in. This is still, very much, for the early adopters.

Let's focus on what's in this important release:

✅ Data-vending-machine support: you can now very easily highlight podcasts and video content in a text-native way.
✅ Patreon support: You can now create RECURRING subscriptions to support your favorite creators and shitposters. I will say a lot more about this and a follow up with a NIP to standardize and help other builders disrupt Patreon and bring creators of all kinds to Nostr easier and more compelling.
✅ Zap-splits: Zapping a highlight creates a split on everybody involved in you seeing that content.
✅ Curation: You can now create curations of articles and earn zap splits for your curation efforts.
✅ NIP-32 Labels: categorize highlights and "margin notes" with any category
✅ Full text support: Find what interests you across any topic in any type of event in nostr.

There's a LOT more to this release that I will be discussing in the next few days.

And a lot more to come.

Stay bullshit, my friend

it's quite technical, i'm working on a tiny part of the cryptography for this project, but this is a technology that will enable fully decentralised git hosting, with the metadata broadcast over nostr and available to any nostr relay running HORNET storage, watches the blockchain and can automatically detect updates for the files knowing what to ask for by the signed merkle root from peers, get the tree of parts and inventory each part one by one.

as well as enabling decentralised, distributed git hosting, it will also be applicable to nostr profiles as well, where you will be able to periodically snapshot updates to your profile and then all subscribers can quickly learn about a new batch of updates and get every single one of them.

this is the most exciting thing in my opinion, because it means that user data can be easily gathered for followers, and stuff like being able to enable paid relays to fully sync their users' subscriptions proactively.

When the Nostur sending note “hang” because of media server refusing the connection there was no way to revert back to the draft mode to resolve the issue (and not lose the note).

I got the GMP PHP extension error on one random sandbox test site but the other had the extension.

For some reason the WP admin backend does not show images. Could be a config issue but did not investigate further.

The npub only upload works, too. Nostur shares the media upload settings between accounts (don’t ask how I tested it 😂

Tried to use the plugin in a few sandbox wp sites but the php requirement is >8.10 and they were still running in the 7.X versions.


I like the Mastodon and Bsky way of delegating access tokens. Masto is really good with granularity.

Not sure how that can be done with the npub/nsec current structure if at all without breaking a lot of things.


They are called thoughts 😂


For the WP side a few management ideas before you have uploaded tons of media:
 - set the uploads into a category for easier management later
 - include as a meta-item the eventid to the media file (to find the OG note)

For both, I did not find a default place that is not going public (e.g. desc, alt text, caption etc).with the media file


I would love to choose per note basis when to post to wp self-hosting and when a regular (relay) hosting would do (probably a Nostur feature)

E.g. gif memes could go to the regular and OG content self-hosted for longevity.


That was fast!


MetaNostr

Take the core modules of a Mastodon client and merge with a Nostr client to have a unified Meta-Client.

https://github.com/Dimillian/IceCubesApp (SwiftUI)

Graysky is React native bksy client: https://graysky.app/ if you want to add to the mix or use the ATproto repos.

I’m already splitting my iPad screen with different protocol clients. Why not merge them into one? A feed is a feed 🤙

It’s hard to do that if everybody else is waiting. Nothing happens if people are not moving before they are kicked out.

A lot of people have tried to move for a while but they always come back to X since it’s no point posting to nobody if you have a following elsewhere.


A year ago it was hard to find any instances that let you join them due to the massive inflow of Twitter users.

Yet, the biggest issue is the network effect for all the alts of X. If the people are not there the platform does not matter.


My similar answer on Masto:

Yes. The growth has come in phases where X has done something massively “interesting”. Bsky is also still on invite-only stage so it’s not even open for all.

It lacks videos and some other features but I would say it’s main appeal: an alt. to X.

Why is Masto not able to bank on it is a really good question. My main guess is the architecture of separate instances that do not integrate into a smooth UX. The “a guest on somebody else’s computer” is too tech point for many.

It should be possible to create a wordpress plugin that does nip96


I wonder whether Wordpress installation would suit for this purpose. Hosting a wp for personal purposes is easy to do and every shared hosting provider has the one click versions for it.

Making a widget / custom theme to suit for nostr purposes would be great.

Could start just by using its image storing and media serving but extend to full relay backups, posting  etc.

#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 while since a new NIP was merged but there's a lot of activity on some meaty proposed NIPs. Looking forward to the upgrades 💪

#### 1) (Proposed) [NIP 96: HTTP File Storage](https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/547/files?short_path=b27fe23#diff-b27fe23ed5ff40d3f85bf18f65ecadaeaf905d363a6df3c20cb2dffd30f903d9)
One of the challenges of Nostr is where to store files (images, videos, PDFs, etc). Storing them on relays could bloat relays and lead to more centralization.

This NIP proposes a protocol to help third parties offer file hosting services to Nostr users. This NIP defines the necessary shape of the API of a third party offering file hosting services, so that these services can be easily used by Nostr clients to serve the content to users.

The proposal also defines an optional way for users to specify which File Storage servers they’d like the client to upload content to.

#### 2) (Proposed) [Updates to NIP 72: Moderated Communities](https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/753/files?short_path=02bdfed#diff-02bdfed052568bc5843aa40e29a9f24f5a8382d63fc6669d733a19fb952d00b9)  (like Reddit)
Currently NIP 72 specifies that posts to moderated communities are of kind 1 which is the default kind which is for tweet-like content. Therefore posts to moderated communities would show up in many clients without enough context.

This proposal would update the default kind for moderated communities so that the content of moderated communities would not show up on the default feed for users. This paves the way for Reddit-like clients to provide an experience that’s focused on just posts to these communities.

#### 3) (Proposed) [NIP 91: IoT Sensors and Intents](https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/817/files?short_path=2bec931#diff-2bec931e0bf5feca5e621c6fcbe85d652f89d5e01b5e2ec170d4c369e0e768f9)
Right now many “Internet of Things” devices require you to report that data from the IoT sensor to the device maker’s servers and write integrations with their ecosystem to take action based on that information.

This NIP reserves a set of event kinds for IoT sensors reporting data (8000 - 8999). For example 8003 would be for thermometers to report temperature in celsius as a number, separate from 8005 which would allow reporting a location as an array of two numbers: longitude and latitude.

This NIP would allow developers to offer IoT devices that report to Nostr relays which gives you more control over the data and the process of taking action based on that data.

#### 4) (Proposed) [NIP 107: Nostr Powered IoT](https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/814/files?short_path=f4a8bec#diff-f4a8bec84d66c1c787865eb47e9f508cdbaa8b940b410f607ff624fb22b2cfc2)
In conjunction with NIP 91, this NIP will enable a robust IoT ecosystem on Nostr.

This NIP’s goal is to help facilitate the development of Nostr clients that are IoT controllers. That way a user and a device can essentially “DM” each other data and commands.

For example a user could install an IoT device that’s a switch for a light. There would be a Nostr client where you can “register” the new device and authorize some list of Nostr users that can utilize the device

Once registered any authorized device user would be able to toggle the light on and off from a Nostr client that supports IoT operations. This is entirely done via Nostr DMs, so you can do this from anywhere as long as you control the private key of a user that the device recognizes as a controller, and the data transferred and the commands are encrypted.

## Notable Projects
#### [Shopstr](https://w3.do/Z1U0WQuh) 🛒
Shopstr is a classifieds app similar to Craigslist, you can post items for sale and facilitate transactions via lightning payments or DMs. Still early but this will be a useful addition to the Nostr-verse and a circular Bitcoin economy.

Author: nostr:npub16dhgpql60vmd4mnydjut87vla23a38j689jssaqlqqlzrtqtd0kqex0nkq

#### [Shipyard](https://w3.do/JYEkAIUi) 🚢
https://shipyard.pub/ is a client for composing and scheduling Nostr content, it’s easy to use and pretty slick. Many big content creators rely on such tools for legacy social media (Twitter, Instagram, etc).

This is a huge unlock for any big content creators that want to make the transition to Nostr but still preserve their ability to push content on a regular basis and monetize it.

Author: nostr:npub1l2vyh47mk2p0qlsku7hg0vn29faehy9hy34ygaclpn66ukqp3afqutajft

#### [Nostr Design](https://nostrdesign.org) 🎨
nostr:npub1r0rs5q2gk0e3dk3nlc7gnu378ec6cnlenqp8a3cjhyzu6f8k5sgs4sq9ac has been offering resources and design help to Nostr devs for some time now via [nostrdesign.org](https://nostrdesign.org).

NostrDesign.org has set out to start conversations around the unique communication challenges of Nostr (keypairs, relays, signing extensions, etc) so that we can build some common patterns to help normies get started with Nostr without too much confusion or tutorial overhead. This will become more necessary as time and adoption goes on.

Good design can also make a huge difference in the success of a new product, especially if there aren’t exact analogs to draw from when building a Nostr app (like when you’re cloning an existing product). I for one am a dev that SUCKS at UX and could use some advice from a thoughtful partner that wants Nostr’s success just as much as I do.

## Latest conversations: Design and Nostr adoption
There’s been some discussion lately about how necessary design is to the Nostr ecosystem, and I’ll posit that it depends on your desires for Nostr.

#### Why design matters
Great design does not necessitate that something be beautiful. Great design is about usability.

Great design strips away unnecessary functionality and information so that only what matters remains. Great design understands the user’s desires and intent and empowers them to achieve their goals. Great design communicates how something ought to work with minimal explanation. Great design empowers the user to try something unfamiliar.

Craigslist is well designed in this sense, so is HackerNews, and the Reddit of a few years ago. They aren’t beautiful but they provide immense value in a simple and intuitive way.

Developers aren’t always the best at designing experiences that solve for usability and good communication to the user. The help of a good designer can be a huge help; making an app usable by a broader audience.

#### Accessibility and adoption
Adoption, in a very rough sense, can be thought of as a function of both how useful something is and how accessible it is. Think of accessibility as both how easy it is to use, as well as how easy it is to access (from my device, in my legal jurisdiction, for a low enough price).

If something is incredibly useful but not very accessible, only some people will use it (IRC). If something is very accessible but not very useful, no one will use it (case in point: it’s hard to name any 😂). If something is very useful and very accessible, then it will get widely adopted (ChatGPT).

If we want Nostr to remain a niche community (with limited impact on the world) then we can ignore how easy our ecosystem is to use. I don’t think that’s anyone’s goal.

#### The 10X better app on Nostr
When trying to get adoption for a new product the rule of thumb is that it needs to be 10X better than alternatives for folks to start adopting it and leave a competitor. Nostr is 10X better for folks that care about freedom tech, which is why most of us are already here.

We’ve built Nostr-based clones of many of the most prominent internet offerings (Twitter, Reddit, Imgur, Bitly, Instagram, Medium, WhatsApp, Craiglist, etc) the list goes on and on but that’s not driving adoption. That’s probably because the nostr-versions are, at-best, as good in functionality but they’re only better than the original in that they’re on Nostr (and therefore freedom tech).

Much to our consternation most people don’t seem to care about freedom tech as much as they should. If we’re to drive mass adoption we also have to discover applications that are uniquely possible on Nostr that are new and valuable enough to attract folks to try Nostr to try that app.

At that moment we’ll also need the basics of Nostr to be accessible enough that people aren’t scared off by the new patterns (keypairs, no usernames, no email alerts, no reset-password flow, which relays do I join?, etc). If we don’t care about solving both problems we are giving a middle finger to a majority of the population of Earth.

#### What era of Nostr are we in?
From what I’m seeing Nostr is still in the era of experimentation and foundation building.

If our goal is a freedom-oriented ecosystem of micro-apps to compete with Big Tech then we’re doing all the right work.

We definitely need to provide all the same functionality folks are used to (micro blogging, blogging, group chat, moderated communities, meme sharing, monetizing content, etc). Building Nostr-based clones is helping with that.

We are working on tools to help developers build on Nostr (NDK, NAK, nostr-tools, etc).

We’re building general purpose browsers (Spring) to explore all corners of Nostr (current and future)

We’re experimenting with offerings unique to Nostr to see what killer app drives people to try Nostr en masse (Data Vending Machines, self-sovereign Internet of Things, uncensorable private and secure group chat, etc).

Good design doesn’t seem to be THE reason that adoption of Nostr isn’t exponential, but at some point it will become the bottleneck to adoption and it’s good to think ahead. The best time to plant a tree is ten years ago and all that.

## Until next time 🫡
If you want to see something highlighted, if we missed anything, or if you’re building something we didn’t post about, let us know. DMs welcome at nostr:npub19mduaf5569jx9xz555jcx3v06mvktvtpu0zgk47n4lcpjsz43zzqhj6vzk

Stay Classy, Nostr.

btw, Just tried https://mastodon.social/@MonaApp (for Mastodon) and it’s packed with features. If somebody building a client wants to get some ideas might be worth checking out.


There's up to 10k public zaps on average daily. If everyone here were using a non custodial Zaplocker based lightning address, that's up to 20 channels worth of HTLCs locked up per hop since each channel allows a max of 483. 100 channels maxed out if 5 hops on average. That's 10 Bitcoin ($300k est) locked up to route low valued nostr payments assuming 10M sat channel on average. And if allowing up to 24 hours to hodl these payments, that is the upper bound for each day.

And that's not even accounting for v4v and other LN address payments.

We need async payments now before this gets out of hand and harms the network.


Not sure those work too well in practise. There are always ways to game the system if one wants. For example, using lists or some other ways to hide the real following.

Sometimes there are just different ways and styles of usage. For example, Robert Scoble builds huge lists and follows a lot of people and his user behaviour is not typical.

A follow/unfollow pumping is a signal that’s hard to justify unless it’s a software bug.


Damus is blazing fast. When you open it it fires with the latest notifications immediately. Noticed also that a profile pic change of a user was there when other clients still showed the old one.

That’s a mini/micro-app product for photojournalists.


Nostur has a signer has a feature on the client.

Also the “verify message signatures” could be extended to show that the image hash is the original hash.

Taking a picture does not mean anything either unless it’s done on film (which can be manipulated as well) or with an old digital camera that is closer to analogue:

Ofc not. It only verifies that most likely it’s coming from the person who posted it if the account has other proves and the person has a reputable history.

It’s still better than nothing. Not sure whether proof of location is possible even.


Maybe nostr:npub1n0sturny6w9zn2wwexju3m6asu7zh7jnv2jt2kx6tlmfhs7thq0qnflahe has implemented it on Nostur (based on this: https://github.com/nostur-com/nostur-ios-public/blob/main/CREDITS.md)

“The success of nuclear power is much more about project management, financing, and policy than it is cutting-edge engineering or safety. We already know how to build plants and safely operate reactors…”

Could be a micro-app for that purpose if that’s easier to understand for people not familiar with nostr?


Sounds like a use case for nostr. It’s already done by signed notes.

Missing only proper communication and marketing?

This is a great take and I almost want to fork the existing NIPs repo to do this too.


Wow - can’t wait to get my hands on some 😂 https://image.nostr.build/a8a66ca132c0c0690186e0e18c6ccd1be7893bd6d0e85f4bec1861a7587a1554.png

Ignored!


LBRY was the first decentralized social media platform for video creators. Even though it operated on its own token, it created a solution from the ever censoring YouTube platform.

Over the years, LBRY has gone head to head with the SEC, accrued millions in debt, and lost.

https://odysee.com/@lbry:3f/theendoflbryinc:d

If anything, it demonstrates clearly the need for free speech oriented platforms (and money) to be completely, in its totality, decentralized.

I wonder if NOSTR can pick up where LBRY left off…


This is why I think solving the video hosting and owning your content is so important for Nostr.

This current format of sending text notes and attaching media is as fresh as Fox news to teenagers. They consumer video first and only.  That’s the Internet for them.

It’s all about money (and freedom): how to tackle the content storing issue so that you don’t even think about it.

Visiting my Feedly after a while made me realise how calm, nice and informative the long-form posting is compared to the raging rapid (mis)fire social media.

Newsletters, blog posts and Airchat give you context and explain. The antidote is not to shift the media but to change the medium.

Could Nostr appeal to the Substack writers and bloggers as their medium of choice?

You can receive zaps and bridging to RSS format for distribution should be easy if not already available.

Nostr clients can show rich media content and long-form.

As a first step, piping the current newsletter as notes (via RSS) can extend the readership and if you start to get zaps the attention follows. Shifting to Nostr notes first mode is not too far off even with the current tools.


Either you comply or you're not making the services available in the EU unless you're willing to exposure the company to penalties.

Threads is not accessible even with a VPN. They block it by other means. And if you visit the EU, you will be blocked, too.

Claude.ai is not accessible in the EU, ChatGPT and Bard were delayed, Threads not available. All these from large companies.

Small wants are outright skipping the EU.

That’s the trend. The EU is not too big to be ignored. The EU citizens are the new ignoramus.

Charging $1 a year to Tweet and Retweet may not seem like a lot, however optics matter. It sets the stage to charge more in the future, it makes the service no longer free, and most importantly, it makes Twitter no longer the public square where anyone is able to freely talk - a point in which Elon likes to state, but continues to erode.

While on the NOSTR we happily Zap developers more than $1 worth of sats quite often and some could agree that it's a similar task to paying a measily 4000 sats, it's not. It's not a requirement. It's not forced. The NOSTR is completely free and open. The openness is the difference. The NOSTR is the public square.

BREAKING: OPENSATS ANNOUNCES FUNDING FOR 12 ADDITIONAL NOSTR PROJECTS BRINGING TOTAL TO 31 🫡

https://opensats.org/blog/nostr-grants-october-2023


nostr:npub1t89vhkp66hz54kga4n635jwqdc977uc2crnuyddx7maznwfrpupqwra5h9 is working with his team to solve the content management issue.


To have the UX up to par what’s customary in other tech platforms: you never think about (anything) when uploading a video on IG, Snap, YT, X, Mastodon etc. It just works and you expect the files to be there as long as you have an account.

It’s still confusing and hard to figure out how to do it in some clients but overall it’s not clear where to host, how long will it last there and what are the best options to make sure that you have the content in the future.


For trusted users, and we definitely need to filter out loosely linked accounts, it's about 7% over 30 days. This is a better time scale for something so new. The other thing is this is more an issue to solve at app level. It seems a few apps have analytics so they should look at how changes affect this.

https://image.nostr.build/6a3de699386e7b4f9621e9ac1035863a26c1e018a3958a8062cfb447bf9c41d4.jpg

You can use nip-05 as your proof of write-access in case you have a website or other place you can put a file with history and existing credibility.


It feels a bit weird, but that’s not my main complaint (though IMO NOSTR would grow a lot faster were there more real names attached.)

My main complaint is that while private communications and life details should remain private, public square posts should be with names attached to the extent we want a robust public square and to beat back censorship.

And yes, it’s true anyone can pose as a real-life person while faking it, but I’m more talking about nyms who are obviously real people and encouraging them to post under their real names. The issue of verifying that is separate, though obviously important in that case.

I love the platform, BTW — just think now that we have this freedom tech, it’s the time to stand up for the courage of our convictions in the open.

I'm happy to announce a new release of [Habla](https://habla.news).

### What's new

- Moderation tools

You can now mute people, hashtags and words and Habla will not show the events that match your moderation settings. The user can choose if they want to mute stuff publicly or privately.

If you use a nostr extension for logging in it might prompt you for decrypting your mute list because of this change but you can choose not to decrypt it and only public mutes will be used. Check out your [moderation page](https://habla.news/moderation) by clicking on the profile menu and selecting "Moderation".

- Reactions in long form articles and highlights

Articles and highlights will now show reactions when rendering on a feed. This allows you to see the engagement a piece of content has and zap or boost it directly from the feed.

- Featured feed

Due to the amount of low-quality and AI-generated content on the "All" feed Habla will now show a featured feed by default instead. You can still switch to the "All" feed in the feed selector under the "Relays" section.

- NIP-05 verification symbol

In order to make it easier to spot impersonators or issues with your NIP-05 a verification symbol is shown next to avatar for verified nostr addresses. The NIP-05 nostr address is also shown in profiles now.

Bugfix: Invalid nostr addresses will no longer be used for human-readable URLs if they can't be verified client side.

---

Happy muting, reading & writing!

Don’t tell anyone but this is one of the services we’re preparing to launch for Nostrasia. You don’t get the same name because that’s not how the underlying tech works.

Oh and although Jack’s support has been huge for Nostr, and also Bluesky, he doesn’t control what we’re building here. The wonderful thing is that you don’t need to ask anyone for permission for what to build or use on the network.

Haha. Isn’t that how this works. 1/100 talks and the rest 👀


Had the same thought. If checking whether a certain block exists is considered a third-party then it does not apply.

The code could be made to decrypt automatically and blocks can be guesstimated with enough accuracy. Could also include similar pass-of-time reference points.


Solve these impossible problems:

1. Create an encryption that can be decrypted after a specific date, without relying on any third-party.

2. Prove that a website is running a specific commit without accessing the server.

Either of these would change the world. But unfortunately they're not possible.

There’s a solution but it involves you by @naval

Johan Norberg captures this fantastically in his book Open: the story of human progress.

The future is not necessarily better than the past. It has been very close that we would have failed. And it was not for lack of trying.

Some formats I have covered his book:

Sequoia Capital manages over $85 Billion.

They posted this about SBF in September 2022.

The FTX ponzi blew up two months later.

Just added the following to whynostr.com

- Nostore (long overdue, oops I missed adding that before)
- EXIT.pub
- Nostr.cooking
- Vendata
- Nostrudel
- Swarmstr (added to Social section, was already in Nostr Address section)
- Sendstr
- Shipyard (this note was published from Shipyard too!)
- Layer4Talent
- Lightning Goats

The ecosystem continues to expand. I really enjoy trying out the different projects and watching as they evolve. S/O to the devs!

It works fine already now. Not important but nice to have bucket items:
- scheduling for later posting (or reposting)
- char count indicator
- save as draft (even templates later)

I have been wondering the posting usually happens only to 2 or 3 relays but not more since I should have close to ten. Would be great to see if the client is offline (or not able to connect to relays.)

— unrelated—

For the reading side:
 - RSS-feeds would be nice. (Regular blogpost type of feeds but why not also Mastodon instances). This could be a read-only feature so no nostr-bridge required.
	- Twitter feed via fxtwitter.com API
	- Maybe Farcaster / Bsky at some point as well.


Gotta pay the leaking pipe somehow

📢 Introducing SHIPYARD!

A Quiet Space for Loud Ideas: Focused Writing for Nostr

Shipyard is a Nostr client focused on enhancing your *writing* experience, managing your content schedule, and ensuring your ideas get the chance to shine.

Shipyard implements a set of cornerstone features to make your writing experience more enjoyable.

✅ Zen-mode editor -— Write without distractions.
✅ Schedule responses and reposts of any note.
✅ Multi-account support from the get-go. Manage different accounts by pairing Shipyard with nsecBunker.
✅ Schedule reposts so your notes are seen when the other side of the world wakes up.
✅ Queues: keep different queues with separate schedules so you never miss a "gm @fiatjaf" again.

And a bunch of important goodies that shine in the background:

✅ Hotkeys. Hotkeys EVERYWHERE.
✅ Autosaved notes.
✅ Drafts.
✅ Extremely clean threading support.

I've always been fascinated by writing tools for social media platforms—a place where you can go to create content without getting sidetracked by the latest meme warfare.

Shipyard will be a tool I will be building on with a LOT of interesting features.

It will always be free to use, and, because of my mantra of "Fund the change you want to see in the world," I'm opening up a few tiers for Supporters ($10/mo) and Patrons ($16/mo) who choose to support developers and development in Nostr.
