Notes by franzap | export

 On the topic of painful nostr: nostrudel is impossible to use with a single paid nostr.wine relay. It constantly loses the auth and it's not easy to reconnect.

Recommendations for open source MacOS clients that work well with auth? (desktop or web) 
 No man, they're not. Es una exposición, una obra de arte. Paso a paso 
 Man, americans have psychiatric issues with tips 😂 
 Poor experience trying to onboard newbs to nostr during the conference (mostly on iOS which I do not use), around 10-12 people.

Granted the cell coverage was not great and not sure I remember everything that went wrong, but users were generally confused with loading/lacking data.

Create a profile, then I tried to follow them but could not find them from Amethyst. So scanned QR code, which is a non-obvious step. Then their profile showed just the npub but no info or pfp, some commented on that. Followed them but they didn't receive a notification for that on Damus, this confused most. And then what? Post a note? (I was recommending #introductions ).

While you wait for all this to load, tap, retry... between laughs you need to come up with conversation and try to somewhat defend nostr, tell them we're early and bugs will be fixed etc.

On Primal follows do appear but feeds don't load. And it autofollows a bunch of random people - some liked it some didn;t. They posted a note and I wanted to like/zap it but I could not see that note on my client either, even though I'm connected to major relays (could be nostr.wine's fault, but I tried with the zap.store account as well). I saw one guy KYC himself 3 times with the wallet because when he switched to his email client to get the code and the app kept resetting the screen.

Lucky that the majority of people were eager and did their best to try.

Since some of these were after Jordi's talk where he offered several clients to download, it was not always my choice/recommendation on which client to download - they just came with it.

I know we do our best but guys... it's bad.

This reminds me of getting a newb to open a LN channel and get liquidity. Painful. If we have to centralize more to better onramps, so be it.

 Labitconf is my first non-Bitcoin focused conference ever

(And I'm also not on twitter)

The amount of bullshit around cRyPTo is staggering. These people are seriously retarded 
 Unexpected moment of the morning. In my  corner coffee shop, see Dominic Frisby sitting just in front of me

Do you have a full write ... 
 Do you have a link to the slides? 
 Ugh. I don't have X and I'm blocked from the site (for using a vpn?)

Are these anywhere on the open web? 
 Works! Thank you John

Try to pick one thing you somewhat enjoy that serves others.

And humbly and relentlessly make it better - step by step, day by day.

 @hzrd149 have you used nostrudel with a paid relay? Is it possible to automatically auth? Every time I refresh the page I need to go to Task Manager and authenticate again or nothing updates 
 Not working for me 
 Where do I find it? I keep losing the green check despite having Always selected

There's a green check so i presume i'm authorized but the logs show connections are refused. Worse when the green check is on i can't even force auth'ing again 
 I'm also constantly losing my setting to Dark mode. Just cleared the local cache and it turned back to Light mode, is that app-specific event only stored locally?

 Relays are web servers with the storage turned off.  Which of course, is their primary purpose.  ... 
 Relays are databases. 😂

 The first prototype of zap.store ever featured something like this, @hzrd149 packaged the nostrudel PWA into a .pwa file that we assigned the application/pwa+zip mime type to (offline bundle). This "pwa" would then be deployed and served locally. Plan to put that back! Maybe we can work on an interoperable standard? 
 Agreed!

Implementation not really. But it's so simple, pretty much what I described is what we got working

 The issue with so-called first world countries is their strict application of the law.

Once stupid laws are instituted, you have very little wiggle room around them.

With all their downsides, third-world countries (which also pass idiotic laws) have much bigger wiggle room. A lot of these rules can't even be enforced.

Ideal places to live are areas with high standards of living *and* enough wiggle room.

Few understand the power of this.

 What's an alternative to njump to show clean nostr profiles? (njump has a bug, does not update profiles)

Bonus points if it works on mobile 
 https://njump.me/zap.store

I checked and the kind 0 is updated in a bunch of relays, but not on njump (it should have the link to download 0.1.4) 
 Thanks but how? 
 Hmm I only see skeletons and spinners. A static site would be best 
 Yep the one I'm using! But text is all cramped and is worse on mobile

 Awesome, any idea how often they refresh profiles? It's not showing my latest even when the kind 0 is on most relays

 What’s your take on Vitamin supplements? #asknostr 
 I'm not sure. Probably. I eat wild fatty fish every now and then, I sure as hell wouldn't supplement rancid fish oil
