These are all hypothetical reasons to engage in offensives, and there are very good arguments that USA's constant aggression and expansion is what is leading to this current period of large scale violence.

How many terrorists did we create after 2 decades of bombing the Middle East? What do we have to show for it? Are we safer now? More prosperous?

Nobody is fucking with China, do they sign bombs in their propaganda? You can flex on the world stage without committing atrocities

Just installed Haven to keep track of all my notes.  nostr:npub1utx00neqgqln72j22kej3ux7803c2k986henvvha4thuwfkper4s7r50e8 has nailed it yet again! https://m.primal.net/LAzx.png


This actually could work but it's almost too smart/magical, I kind of like the idea of them feeling more distinct (I think)


Clients should all be fetching only from my outbox to get my notes, my inbox/private/chat is only used by me, so shouldn't be any issues on resources


Why would that be better?


Also thinks we should be using nukes against countries like Iran


I don't like the 3 dot subdomains and see that as bad client design, they should fix it :)


Wait, this sounds like an interesting rabbit hole. Why?


If you can calibrate this properly this is better than WoT, tricky though


Ok so nostr relay Idea is almost done. Its not WOT but a rep system that rewards human interaction and not bot like behavior (I hope).

Everyone starts out on neutral on the relay. Simply passing spam checks boosts rep. Interaction from others reactions, comments, zaps, boosts, all these boost rep, all are equally weighted.  Valid nip-05 also boosts rep. Not having a nip-05 does nothing, but having an invalid Nip-05 slowly dings rep.

Spam like behavior also dings rep and can eventually get you kicked off the relay. To be fair, I'm also still trying to work out what is bot like behavior. I'm mostly taking this from the spam filter I made to block the replyguy shit on Freelay. I don't want to anylise the content of a note, not trying to dictate what can and can not be said, but id like to stop bots from annoying people.

One thing I did implement is a 1984 report will affect your rep and if enough people hit you with a report you can be nuked off the relay (im not 100% sure on this choice yet. I know it enables mob behavior or bots could mass report and nuke legit users so i might nuke this aspect or if someone has a better way to use this Im all ears). The idea behind this is so users of the relay could kick people that are posting "objectionable" content. I know that's subjective but for example if someone is posting a bunch of AI porn and if users of the relay don't want to see that they can effectively get it off the relay.

Relay has 2 databases "purgatory" where all notes get stored and looked at, this database is purged frequently. The second database is for trusted users and once you get to a certain trust level you get whitelisted and bypass purgatory. plus, a higher trust score gives you a higher rate limit and more time that your notes are stored.

I know people have a boner for WOT right now, so this idea might not be too popular, but this is my attempt at a more open relay system while still blocking spam. Not sure where it fits in the inbox/outbox model, but I'd like to see nostr remain open without the need of WOT, as IMO as WOT stands its mostly a bandaid for established users. I dont think WOT is bad.....just sloppy as it is right now.

I'm mostly posting this for feedback on the idea, so please rip it apart if you think it's dumb. I know a lot of human behavior can be gamed by someone good at making bots. I would take any advice here. Im still working out kinks. There is also part of my brain that is like "fuck a rep system" as I make this, so im trying to make it as fair and as open as I can.

nostr has no global source of truth, and that is a good thing

Out of interest, I follow the progress of a lot of other projects similar to nostr, and a couple links surfaced today:

BlueSky has a big "firehose" connection that streams all updates (new posts, reactions, etc) to subscribers. Unsurprisingly, this is difficult to process except on beefy servers with lots of bandwidth. So, one proposed solution is to strip out all that pesky cryptography (signatures, merkle tree data, etc): https://jazco.dev/2024/09/24/jetstream/

And over on Farcaster, keeping their hubs in sync is too difficult, so they want to make all posts globally sequenced, like a blockchain. The details are still being worked out, but I think it's safe to assume there will be a privileged global sequencer who decides on this ordering (and possibly which posts are included at all): https://github.com/farcasterxyz/protocol/discussions/193

In my opinion, both of these issues are symptoms of an underlying errant philosophy. These projects both want there to be a global source of truth: A single place you can go to guarantee you're seeing all the posts on a thread, from a particular user, etc. On BlueSky that is https://bluesky.app and on Farcaster that is https://warpcast.com .

Advocates of each of these projects of course would dispute this, pointing out that you could always self-host, or somehow avoid depending on their semi-official infrastructure, but the truth is that if you're not on bluesky.app or warpcast.com, you don't exist, and nobody cares that you don't exist.

nostr has eschewed the concept of global source of truth. You can't necessarily be sure you are seeing everything. Conversations may sometimes get fragmented, posts may disappear, and there may be the occasional bout of confusion and chaos. There is no official or semi-official nostr website, app, or relay, and this is a good thing. It means we are actually building a decentralised protocol, not just acting out decentralisation theatre, or pretending we'll get there eventually and that the ends justify the means.

Back when computers were primitive and professional data-centres didn't exist, it was impossible to build mega-apps like Twitter. Protocols had to be decentralised by default -- there was simply no other way. We can learn a lot by looking back to protocols of yesteryear, like Usenet and IRC, and still-popular protocols like email and HTTP. None of these assume global sources of truth, and they are stronger and better for it, as is nostr.

Either way you see trusting relays to give you the notes, it's identical to asking them for the count


It's the bandwidth more than the count I have beef with.

A relay can already give you a count with a few bytes, and it will be equally as inaccurate as trying to fetch them all individually

I will put up 250,000 sats for someone to make a PR to amethyst that does this:

If user has outbox, inbox, dm, private relays setup:

 - Any note I post goes to outbox, general (all kinds)

- Any interaction to a note I sign to a note goes to outbox, general... and the OP note is broadcast to inbox and  general

 - all drafts only go to private relay, and if we ever get a cashu wallet probably store nuts in here

Basically amethyst is treating all relays (except dms which seems to work great ) like general relays and broadcasting everything to all

Bullish Bitcoin Developments Are on the Rise

Don't look now but the bulls are getting in line for the stampede.

This is a long form article, you can read it in https://habla.news/a/naddr1qvzqqqr4gupzq3e0gs8jnmued6f2rp4c6vs07xqvs4vs8zpwt82smcdch4txjvq7qqxnzdejxucnxvpkxvcnqwf5fulkkj

While most of the world is focused on the lead up to the Presidential election here in the US and louder war drums being beat across the world, the number of bullish developments that are stacking up for bitcoin is increasing rapidly. These developments deserve the OG Marty's Bent smorgasbord treatments, so here are the things that have caught my attention over the last week in no particular order.

### The First Ark Transactions on Bitcoin Mainnet

I had the pleasure of participating in a demo of Second's Ark protocol implementation. For those who are unaware, Ark is a new layer-two protocol solution for making off-chain bitcoin payments. Unlike the lightning network, Ark doesn't depend on liquidity channels to facilitate payments. Within the lightning network two counterparties share UTXOs within a channel to move sats back and forth, nodes connect to many different channels to create a network effect that increases the chance of payments getting routed successfully, and node operators manage their channel liquidity as channel imbalances emerge.

Ark is similar in the sense that it also leverages a shared UTXO model. However, instead of having one-to-one channels that come with liquidity management issues, Ark enables a large amount of individuals to share UTXOs, which are managed by an Ark Service Provider (ASP). The ASP is a central party within the protocol, but it is a central party that does not custody UTXOs. It only coordinates the transfer of sats between Ark "rounds". Users have the ability to unilaterally exit the second-layer protocol whenever they deem necessary by broadcasting a Virtual UTXO (vtxo) transaction.

This may seem daunting and complicated. All you need to know is that there is now an new way to make off-chain bitcoin payments that are fast and relatively cheap and it is possible today. As it stands today, Ark has some scaling limitations that can be solved if covenants get merged into the bitcoin protocol, which would significantly reduce the data requirements for signing this type of transaction.

It should also be noted that Ark isn't here to replace the lightning network. It can help serve different use cases and, at the same time, significantly improve the UX of the lightning network. Particularly channel management. The progression of the Ark protocol is a welcomed development. I look forward to following what's going on with Ark as the protocol matures.

### The Kingdom of Bhutan is Stacking A LOT of Sats

We were made aware of the fact that the Kingdom of Bhutan, a small country in the Himalayas with a population less than 1,000,000 people, was mining bitcoin in early 2023 when their sovereign wealth fund was doxxed in the bankruptcy proceedings of BlockFi and Celsius. Don't look now, but Bhutan has been doxxed again, this time by the chain surveillance firm Arkham, which is reporting that the nation currently holds more than 13,000 bitcoin, which is nearly 1/3 of its GDP. Driven predominately by its mining operations, which have expanded significantly over the last two years in an attempt to monetize the country's excess hydroelectric power.

While we're not big fans of doxxing here at TFTC, we are fans of the game theory of bitcoin playing out in front of our eyes. And the Kingdom of Bhutan is a shining example of the game theory bitcoiners have been talking about for 15 years playing out perfectly.

Bitcoin is a very thorny topic for individuals at every layer of society. At the individual layer, people have to independently decide that bitcoin is a better money and they have to actively decide to store their wealth in it instead of other assets. For companies, the decision to use bitcoin as the preferred savings vehicle is even harder because most businesses have multiple stakeholders that need to align on a decision before making it. When you move up to the nation state level, the complexity of making the decision to add bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset gets even harder. Many more people and different branches of government need to agree and pass bills (in most cases) before bitcoin can ever make it into a nation's treasury asset mix.

It has long been said within bitcoin circles that individuals who have the ability to think independently, companies that have a lean corporate structure, and nation states with little to lose will be the first movers into bitcoin. And they will benefit massively over the long-run for being early.

If you're an individual reading this who is using bitcoin as their money of choice, you are one of these early movers. Microstrategy under Michael Saylor, who has the ability to make somewhat unilateral decisions due to the company's share structure, is an early move. And, Bhutan, a small nation in the Himalaya mountains with a sovereign wealth fund that seems to have the ability to take risk, is an early mover.
With little to lose and greatness to gain, Bhutan is giving other small nation states the playbook for leap frogging the competition in the digital age. Stack a shit ton of bitcoin on the DL, hold on to it for a considerable amount of time, and wake up one day as an economic powerhouse.

### The Fed Cuts Rates by 50 Basis Points

I'm sure all of you are well aware at this point. Last week the Federal Reserve made it's first rate cuts in over four years when it cut the fed funds target rate by 0.50% to 4.75-5.00%. With the economy reeling despite what the official government and mainstream narrative may try to make you believe, Jerome Powell and crew have decided it is time to ease up on their monetary policy.

Put another way, inflation is likely to come back with a vengeance as easy money begins to reenter the economy. To be clear, a lower fed funds rate doesn't technically necessitate that newly printed dollars enter the economy like they have over the last 15 years via operations like quantitative easing. However, one has to imagine that the Fed sees some sort of liquidity crisis on the horizon that requires them to begin cutting rates. And not only cutting, but cutting at a pace that was very low probability only a couple of months ago. The consensus in the middle of the Summer was that the Fed would begin lowering rates with a modest 25bps cut this month. They doubled that.

It's probably safe to assume that something is approaching a breaking point on the back end of the financial system. One only has to look at record high credit card debt, record low savings rates, the state of the job market for native born Americans, and the continued turn over of commercial real estate markets to see that not all is well in the American economy. Your Uncle Marty's spidey senses are signaling that a liquidity crunch is likely lurking around the corner. When it does rear its ugly head, you can expect quantitative easing to make a big come back.

When money printer goes brrr, bitcoin goes berserk.

It seems that the Treasury's move over the last 18-months of over-indexing on the front end of the curve during their auctions is already having an expansionary effect on M2 as it has officially entered expansion territory for the first time since 2022. Hold on to your butts, freaks.

Bitcoin's fundamentals are only getting stronger as time goes on. This is evidenced by continued improvement to the protocol stack via second layer protocols, continued adoption by reputable actors like the Kingdom of Bhutan, and the continued mismanagement of the fiat monetary system.

The price of bitcoin has been range bound since the Spring and it has lulled the market into a state of boredom. Enjoy the boring period while it lasts. All signs are pointing to a bitcoin bull run the likes of which the world hasn't seen before. There is a lot of tinder, it is extremely dry, and there are flame throwers on the horizon.

---

Final thought...
Nothing makes me happier than meeting someone who gets value from this newsletter or the podcasts in the wild. Love you, freaks.

Not necessarily, just having your own relay with all your notes and backing them up ar a huge benefit even if you don't use the individual relays


running haven

https://m.primal.net/KzTY.png


Clients will eventually catch up 😉


You will still need other public relays to read about other people, the idea is everything in your graph (your notes, and reactions/replies/zaps to your notes) are highly available to the entire network and backed up

It also should make dms and group chats more private on nostr

So when clients want to show information about you, they have the perfect single relay with all the information


Awesome work man, khatru is amazing isn't it??

Introducing HAVEN - The Ultimate Relay For Sovereign Individuals
 https://i.nostr.build/eB85EFdyAIOQzeyU.png
HAVEN (High Availability Vault for Events on Nostr) is the next evolution of personal relays that take self sovereignty and decentralization to the next level.

https://github.com/bitvora/haven

It's a 4-in-1 Relay with:

 - Private Relay - for your drafts, ecash/nutsacks and anything else only you should be able to see

 - Chat Relay - for your web of trust to be able to send you DMs or to host private group chats.

 - Inbox Relay - for people to send reactions, zaps and likes to your notes. It also pulls these notes from other relays in real time. Protected by web of trust

 - Outbox Relay - for others to read from. This will contain all the notes that only you publish. Anyone can read, only you can write. Every note sent to your outbox relay will be BLASTR'd to other relays.

It also has many SMART relay features, including:

 - It imports all your old notes to your outbox relay, and imports any note you're tagged in to your inbox relay
 - It protects your relays using your Web of Trust
 - It automatically backs up all your notes to a 3rd party cloud (currently only AWS S3 support - more soon™)
 - It blastr's your notes to other relays

Amethyst users will love this relay because it gives you every relay you need to complete the relay configuration.

It is my hope with this relay that we can significantly increase the decentralization of Nostr by giving people an extremely powerful and reliable personal relay that gives them control over the longevity and privacy of their notes. With more people running personal relays, clients should be more inclined to implement the outbox/inbox model.

You can see HAVEN in action on my personal relay:

 - wss://relay.utxo.one/outbox
 - wss://relay.utxo.one/inbox
 - wss://relay.utxo.one/chat
 - wss://relay.utxo.one/private

I am extremely excited about this release and can't wait to see what the nostriches think of it!

To get started, follow the instructions in the README here:
https://github.com/bitvora/haven


I was but then I put rate limits now we good


WoT is more accessible than NIP05...


Hey WoT relay is also trying to fix it 😭


I'm sure someone could code it up but I'm not willing to do it lol, relays are so young I don't think it's worth a few days of work to save a week of notes


I am not replyguy but I have attacked nostr many times. For short periods, just to test stuff.

I am even currently attacking the idea that people can delete notes. I archive everything. Delete request denied.

Replyguys maybe obnoxious, how they didn't turn it off after we all acknowledged the issue and started working on it, that's not how a friendly nostrich would help nostr, but overall it is still a net positive imo

But seriously replyguy you can turn it off now, and then try again in a few months or something pls 🫂😊🐸


Ty sir but I'm too lazy to do this, I hope someone else will if they care about their old notes 🐸

I have already nuked mine lol


You did great buddy 🫂😊


185, 210 terrible Intervals


Yes I limit too many tags, authors etc to relay

When I need to go through a massive list of npubs like that let's say for an import or archives or something, I will chunk it first


Gm nostr:nprofile1qqsyvrp9u6p0mfur9dfdru3d853tx9mdjuhkphxuxgfwmryja7zsvhqpzamhxue69uhhv6t5daezumn0wd68yvfwvdhk6tcppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qyghwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnhd9hx2tcewvzaw

Question/feature request/what do you think

I've setup every kind of relay on amethyst now and think the broadcasting/publishing logic is a bit weird

Example if I reply to someone, it broadcasts their note to my private relay, my dm/chat relay and my outbox. I feel like the note I replied to should broadcast only to general relays and my INBOX relay.

My reply should go to my outbox and general relays only I think.

My regular kind 1 notes also seem to try to broadcasting to every one of my relays, I think it should only go to outbox and general.

Private relay should probably only be drafts and maybe nutsacks?

Ps I have an extremely cool new relay about to launch that in theory is perfect for amethyst if we can sort out this logic


I see this too


I see u


Gm,

Have very good/bad news about WoT relay.

The latest version is finally super stable and fast and can run on a very small VM now.

The bad news is when you upgrade, your old DB gets nuked and starts a new one.

Basically lmdb was causing a lot of stability issues, so we are using badger DB now.


Those errors are actually normal and you are probably only getting them once in a while. The wot relays, while refreshing the network, temporarily don't allow posting while it rebuilds the wot. Even I get those errors on my own relay.

Since I follow you, fairly certain you have access to every single one...


> Don't be a sheep! 🐑

Could be the motto of Nostr and it is also exactly why I started my own WoT Relay. So I invite everyone to add **wss://wot.shaving.kiwi** to their relay list.

Thank you nostr:nprofile1qqsw9n8heusyq0el9f99tveg7r0rhcu9tznatuekxt764m78ymqu36cpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuat50phjummwv5hszymhwden5te0wahhgtn4w3ux7tn0dejj7qg4waehxw309an8yetwwvh82arcduhx7mn99uuwx66a

Wait, white dudes for harris is a *real* campaign strategy, it's not just a troll? I swear i thought this was just a meme


Like everything in the universe, there are no solutions, only trade offs.

WoT relays are not a magic bullet, there are one way to fight spam that come with trade offs.

Some relays will fight spam with WoT, with NIP05, with PoW, with a paywall, with pattern matching, with AI etc...

Decentralization is messy and we will likely net out with some mosaic of relays that all use different techniques.

But one thing is for damned sure: relays must fight spam otherwise their hard drives will eventually explode. The idea that relays should just store and distribute every single note and let the client decide how to filter all spam has to be one of the dumbest ideas I've heard from people on nostr so far. Maybe this seems feasible since we only have a few attackers right now, but eventually we will have hundreds.

If you really believe this, I invite you to run a completely open relay and see how well it goes for you.

Gm nostr.

I have joined the 5am club.


i saw it on nostrudel but now your second reply doesn't have PoW. I think your note just randomly had 0s that looked like a small amount of pow lol.


btw what client are you using to do pow in your replies?

I would strongly prefer if you used a vpn before connecting to my relay, I really don't wanna know your IP pls🙏

So deep in the nostr echo chamber that when I saw a windows OS for first time in years I couldn't believe this still exists


WoT relay tips:

 - update frequently
- set refresh internal to 24 hours
 - to save space, set archival_sync to false
 - set minimum followers to 3-5

This will increase performance and stability a lot


Tiny channel is anything less than 10m sats imo

Chain is not suitable for payments because of confirmation times and there isn't enough block space.

This is the weirdest take I've heard so far, "big" payments are bad?


More paths to probe, bigger graph of routes that won't work

When it comes to channels, less is more

360 connections to my relay and only about 2mbps of bandwidth being used

When other people like or reply to your posts, your notes are often rebroadcast to the relays those users have set

And hopefully fix the performance and crashing issues, focus on making it smooth and fast instead of feature rich

 To me it's unusable, constantly crashing, I think I can have many spam DMs or something, notifications non stop

WoT relays work because not everyone uses them uniformly.

Suppose of the 1500 people I follow, only 1 of them use public relays and follow new users.

That automatically means the entire network of 50,000 (my 1500 follows + their follows) can now see these new users with just 1 follow.

Then multiply that by using 10 WoT relays, you will find plenty of people adding new people to the WoT organically

In Facebook's early days, you could only sign up with an invite or a university email domain

Perhaps for nostr we need a similar idea, you don't need an invite, you just need one follow

Or a nip05 from a trusted domain

These are forms of proof of work that a GPU can't do


same same 🐸


For sure they will do it

But maybe it will slow them down just enough that muting and banning could make a difference?

And relay operators could more easily share ban lists?

Although maybe not, if a user mines an npub on a phone for 10 mins, a 4090 can probably do that same work in a few seconds :/


Pushed a little PR to wot-relay to support config of NIP-11 including software name, version, relay icon and relay contact. 👍 #relay #wot https://image.nostr.build/fb52504a2472e473a2cd61eb1564572ed23aa39768740cbab1640b7a6d06f579.jpg


Maybe proof of work/vanity npubs could be a better solution to spam than PoW notes

PoW notes can really degrade performance/UX  if we want it to be sufficiently high to compete with spammers

But a pow npub is just a one time delay, which is reasonable for a legit user

Then we expand WoT to trust follows and proof of work?

It's a child in the mother's body. It's tricky. They are both true.


Yes I think so too


And what of the bodily autonomy of the child in the whom? Does it not deserve some protection, healthcare and rights?

This is the endless loop we've been in for decades now, to me the only reasonable solution is free market where some places allow and others don't, and see what free choices people make?


Everyone has their own views on this, and constantly trying to impose them on others. Having people decide for themselves in local groups seems the most reasonable way to handle it.

It's not unreasonable for people to believe that you can't kill a child even if it's in your own body

So why not let people organize themselves based on such a belief?


Why isn't ok for a group of people to vote that in their communities, abortion is illegal, and anyone who doesn't like it is free to leave?

Why must there be a uniform position on something so divisive?


#change this to your path

Delete this


Delete the comment from the systemd file, I should probably remove it from the readme

Should work after that


something wrong with the service file, run

sudo journalctl -u wot-relay

Should give u good info


My guess is the relay isn't actually running some problem with systemd


Can you curl localhost:3334?


I don't understand how that future thing works. Does that mean I would have equal odds using a cpu as an asic?


Simple but very delicious https://i.nostr.build/8ebIeDgbrNagLSuQ.jpg


Sir I am very busy playing dominion


I might or might not have a relay that only accepts notes that rhyme.


Started working on our new spam protection for 🍷 filter.nostr.wine this week. Our repeat message filters and rate limiting helps but still leaks a lot.

We expect the new solution to be much more effective AND create less false positives. More details soon!


I should have named the relay web of not spam

The only underlying assumption is that people don't follow spam bots, not whether a follow indicates "trust"

Many people getting tied up in the name and not the underlying spam prevention


What does nostr think of this idea?

nostr:nevent1qqs8yu4puxn06vs8dmrv5mdp0wrfgkq00acj28chl3ta3hru3fljewgpzdmhxue69uhhwmm59e6hg7r09ehkuef0qgsrl7kr5my9n6423nwaktrsq2nwzzenal4e95p9k9826mu294jkv4crqsqqqqqpcj7lrd


Might be on to something here


No secure way to text without Internet


If I have 1% of the hashrate shouldn't I expect over a block per day of the ~144 blocks mined?


Just amethyst using only wot relays


I turned off WoT only mode for first time in weeks and reply spam is completely out of control, had no idea how far they had evolved


5 bitaxes mining for 5 days still hasn't even found 1 testnet4 block

If you want to get a sense of how useless these devices are


Gm,

Don't sign your name on a meme that's so cheese lol, just be glad if people steal it


He is one of tens of thousands of scammers who want to print their own tokens to sell it to fools, and make up nonsense about "tokenomics"


v0.1.10 of WoT relay just released

This version allows you to set your . env

ARCHIVAL_SYNC ="FALSE"

Which will stop the relay from archiving every note in the WoT and instead just filter notes that are sent to it

This will save massive amounts of space and hardware requirements, but won't be suitable if you want to use a single relay on your client

It should also continue to encourage clients to implement outbox model instead of having a single relay serve everything

I am now running this mode on my relay

https://github.com/bitvora/wot-relay


It's very clear someone is primarily a Twitter user when they come onto nostr and sing saylor's praises


I remember watching movies as a kid, set in the past, with hippies, bell bottoms and Jimi Hendrix music

Just watched another show where the past was set in 1996, with denim jackets and the offspring music

and I've never felt older in my life 🧓

Nostr's core idea isn't dumb relays.

Mastodon sucks because you don't own your identity, it belongs to the server. That isn't the case with a smart nostr relay that can filter and order notes for you.


Good boy
https://v.nostr.build/H8RPqDUQRqSNHD4N.mp4


Yes I also think this is the way


Darn it too bad we'll never know


I completely reject the idea of:

Dumb relay, smart client

Why would we want the more powerful hardware that is online all day to be dumb?

It has all the potential to do the computing people want and all day to do it

Instead we want clients to, in real time, digest all these notes and compute them, filter them etc?

Anyway I'm gonna keep making smarter relays


Everyone keeps talking about spam and scammers but I don't see any of it


Wallet of satoshi has a relay now? They truly do it all


If any politician's plan is to do more stuff, they are my enemy

Governments need to do much less stuff


All I wanna say is that

They don't really care about us


If I'm being truly honest, I don't have enough Bitcoin


They serve your invoice, it's a hodl invoice. They are not holding it.

Hello I am a beginner


Ok we will know tomorrow morning if we upgrading to v0.2 of the relay or if we stuck still bug fixing v0.1.8

If it doesn't work please blame FJ

4 bitaxes mining can't even find a testnet4 block lmfao what a waste of money

so many commies will brings things up like "wealth tax" and these CEOs like bezos and musk should pay a tax based on % of their assets

Well, since most of their wealth is in shares, the logical conclusion is over time every CEO will lose control over their companies to fund the government

This is LITERALLY communism, not even being ironic

wss://wot.utxo.one
wss://nostrelites.org
wss://wot.nostr.party
wss://wot.sovbit.host
wss://wot.girino.org
wss://relay.lnau.net

Feel free to PR and add your own if you're running one

There are more nostr relays than bch and bsv nodes combined

AI is mad that I hate commies and love 58k https://i.nostr.build/jMScoO2DJX1gs59u.jpg


Being on a WoT only relay setup incentives following more people so you miss less content


You can tell if something is decentralized if it can't go down and nobody can turn it off


If you must, take the time to make a vanity key!


They've upgraded the attack with an llm and machine vision?

I really like this attack honestly

If they don't have to post, do they have to at least follow npubs?

Back to working on Bitcoin this week, unless replyguy wants to fight some more


I'm not a fan of using PoW as a spam filter because having enough pow on your phone to post will slow down the UX by a lot, and spammers can easily slap a big GPU on their hardware that is 10,000x faster at hashing than your phone


WoT relays are just a bandaid, it's very crude, definitely not the final form


Gm

Got my bitaxes coming today
Got many lightning nodes
Got my cashu mint
Zapping my frens on nostr

This is what we call having fun playing with your bitcoins


Spammers can do proof of work as well, usually with much better hardware than users


Why would it need its own coin lmfao


Are you out of your mind or pushing a crypto scam or both?


They're just gonna come up with new text, or text at random, this won't work


Guys you can't mute your way passed the bots, they make new npubs for every post

Right now the best solution is using WoT relays, which are just a bandaid for now while we come up with smarter ideas and implementations

You can use:

wot.utxo.one
nostrelites.org
wot.nostr.party

As your only relays and the spam will be gone

Or consider running your own relay
GitHub.com/bitvora/wot-relay


Set these to your only three relays and all the spam will be gone

wot.utxo.one
wot.nostr.party
nostrelites.org


I haven't seen any spam using WoT relays in days....

Two major problems with WoT relays:

 - cannot find brand new nostriches
 - if just one person in the network follows spammers, it's ruined for everyone

This is just a very preliminary idea, much more building blocks are required

On my end it looks like you have 25 relays setup. To eliminate the spam you would need to have ONLY mine


It is really cool to see so many people using my relay but it would be WAY COOLER if you ran your own instance of it

We all have different people in our web of trust and you could be missing out if you just depend on mine


Javascript is a shit language, do better y'all

Fair warning everyone I host these relays in my attic on old hardware so no guarantees alright 🙏😅


It's not really that feasible unless you're already a server guy


You are the most active primal dev rn


Do you think they actively picked bluesky over nostr, or they just didn't hear of us or what?


U still have chairs? May as well have eth


The bitcoin price will go up soon


The halving isn't a meme, pump is coming, this is financial advice


Yep you automatically have access because I follow you


Yep it can work for global or follows only.

I follow about 1500 people and my network is about 55,000 people after the graph populates, so pretty sure I'm catching almost everything on one relay


It doesn't calculate anything more. It counts on you to follow quality people


More about discovering many new plebs to follow without a bunch of anime porn


Argh that involves css tho


Yeah my b I only got it working like 30 mins ago lol. In like an hour I can


Psshh what bot??


I now have three relays you can use depending on your use case:

Private relay for yourself or a team: GitHub.com/bitvora/team-relay

Relay for everyone you follow:
GitHub.com/bitvora/fren-relay

Relay for everyone in your WoT:
GitHub.com/bitvora/wot-relay

Web of Trust Relay:

This relay looks at who you follow, and who they follow, and saves every note in this trust network automatically.

I added it as my only relay in amethyst and spam is now completely gone.

Anyone in my web of trust can use my relay:

wss://wot.utxo.one

But the much better solution for nostr is to run your own WoT relay

https://github.com/bitvora/wot-relay

Good morning notes and other stuff transmitted by relays enthusiasts


Hmmm mute isn't as good a signal as a follow 🤔

If nobody I follow also follows a bot is what I'm thinking


Don't show me any notes from people who none of my follows also follow

Since nobody will follow the bots they become invisible


Bot problem is easily solved with web of trust , much better than playing whack a mole with muted words

It would have been much easier to just mine them and not spend them instead of going out of his way to make this block unspendable in the code


What coins? Bitcoin was the first


Definitely not an accident it was very specifically coded this way


The Genesis block is the only premined block, and the only coins that aren't spendable

Because if they were spendable, it would mean there was an issuer and be much easier to argue Bitcoin is a security

Just one of many 9000 IQ plays by satoshi

Some examples are to only hire people who accept Bitcoin and go out of your way to seek out stores that do accept it. Even more based is to only accept jobs that pay you in Bitcoin.

If you wanna talk plummetting exchange rates, USD BTC is a good place to start ;)


I think the excuse "oh I only have Twitter to promote nostr" is a larp

The same way hodl only and spend fiat is a larp

the best way to grow nostr is to have the best people and content exclusively found here - make Twitter a ghost town

the best way to destroy fiat is to not use it

I can't quite articulate why I feel the need to zap.

Like why not just participate without giving money?

Is it because I think this supports the network, because of some human instinct to reciprocate?

or because zaps are public, to not be perceived as cheap or a moocher? Maybe even to be seen as a "big tipper"

What is the psychology around this because it seems counter intuitive

Because ultimately you have to steal more people's money and inflate it to pay for the incentives, which makes them less likely to have kids because they have to work harder.

Unrelated to bostr here are some other relays or nostr based content tools that I'm using in my self hosted stack or plan to run soon that you might find useful for RB.

 nostr:npub1utx00neqgqln72j22kej3ux7803c2k986henvvha4thuwfkper4s7r50e8 fren-relay - https://github.com/bitvora/fren-relay
Very simple config setup and then automatically whitelists any of your follower's for usage as a good home relay. I've only been running it for a few days and its ran well.

 nostr:npub1zmc6qyqdfnllhnzzxr5wpepfpnzcf8q6m3jdveflmgruqvd3qa9sjv7f60's GRAIN 🌾 - https://github.com/0ceanSlim/grain
I'm excited to see this project develop more. Based on the current to-do list this could offer everything I currently need in a relay.

 nostr:npub138s5hey76qrnm2pmv7p8nnffhfddsm8sqzm285dyc0wy4f8a6qkqtzx624's Nostrcheck server - https://github.com/quentintaranpino/nostrcheck-server
I currently use this to self host my own pictures and videos for my posts via NIP-96 or can also do Blossum. The project also supports tools for NIP-05 and Lightning redirects though that's a little redundant with LNBits.

 nostr:npub10td4yrp6cl9kmjp9x5yd7r8pm96a5j07lk5mtj2kw39qf8frpt8qm9x2wl's relay29 - https://github.com/0xchat-app/relay29
This will be a little niche but if you want to run your own NIP-29 Group relay to make sure all of your group information is self hosted this is what I use for  nostr:npub1gvmc3nvmjekx7e0qlkeaqw2cqypvtqdcg4ljuz0wfj3zxjnnauys3ngk9f.

H.O.R.N.E.T Storage Nostr Relay - https://github.com/HORNET-Storage/hornet-storage
