Nostr Archives

there is a large moneyary investment in this space in centralized nostr (primal) and centralized bitcoin (cashu) Criticizing any of these? Good luck getting a grant or invited to that next prestigious event. nostr was more fun when it wasn’t being subverted by money and influence peddling. Unfortunately they can’t buy me or shut me up. I couldn’t give more of a shit about money or influence.

You are an egotistical and ungrateful fuckwit. I hope you lose your grant.

why would anything i have said have anything to do with opensats? My post was about VC investments. Are you ok?

Is your memory that short?

apparently yes, i forget stuff sometimes. I just did a flurry of posts this morning and must have got them jumbled in my head

I usually just build but occasionally i am attacked by primal investors so i like to crack out one of these posts every now and then.

I think I’m tolerated for now but i see the writing on the wall.

Coracle, Iris, Phoenix, all do this using image proxy services. Probably more do too.

"ships nothing"?

jb55131d ago

apparently building two *actually decentralized* native clients that work on all platforms from scratch, the fastest embedded nostr relay database, an opengraph deeplink server… all this is nothing 🙄

Start by reading Samuel Edward Konkin's "The New Libertarian Manifesto", and welcome :)

Oh yea I've read all his stuff. We even sell it at my bookstore @c7ab3a2a…81da3d44 : https://whitepaperbooks.com/search?q=konkin&options%5Bpre…

You could connect to other caching services tho right? The caching definitely makes the experience better.

jb55131d ago

it really doesn’t. damus android/notedeck has an embedded caching relay that does the same thing and is way faster

Admittedly I haven’t tried Damus again in a long time, I will now.

We have it as an option, but the technology is NWC. We don’t have any deep custom integration with coinos other than a way to create an account there automatically. You can swap it out for your own node (thats what i do)

Yeah i determined this when @9be0be0e…c3cbb81e started kicking ass with nostur which convinced me to build a custom nostr database/relay. I thought you could get away with using relays as the only cache, but that breaks down during poor network connectivity and app restarts.

Browser DBs get huuuuge fast.

0000 sats

jb55131d ago

browser dbs are unfit for nostr. It’s a true shame. Browser clients will always be performance gimp’d. This is what convinced me to look into building a nostr browser.

jb55131d ago

also storing an optimized binary format is a must, like not storing full hex strings for every e/p reference. nostrdb can store millions of notes in a tiny space

can’t you just put your address in your profile? What would monero in damus look like?

Calle is right about core, knots is dumb

its unfortunately probably a precondition for mass adoption :/ at least we have lightning

why do people keep using the word crying? I am not upset or physically crying. Maybe slightly disappointed?

Sam130d ago

Is this really true? If I open up the network tab I can see it's talking to a bunch of relays.

0000 sats

jb55130d ago

they only read from their caching relay

i had no issues with him, until he started attacking me just because I wasn't 100% on board with cashu

0000 sats

jb55130d ago

i guess the "bitcoin for signal" and "bitcoin for imessage" irked me a lot as well. affinity scamming is such a bad look.

0000 sats

jb55130d ago

probably just defensive because he has to deal with the centralization criticism all the time. i can see how that would be annoying after awhile.

Regardless of who you’re calling out or frustrated by The fact that you can have your opinion, free of fear (be that de-platforming or removal of funding), is the absolute key About the only time I believe diversity is actually powerful as a metric is when it comes to opinions Say what you want. Think what you want. Go for it

Someone needs to add crowdfunding to https://catallax.network and we can start doing this tomorrow. https://catallax.network/use-cases#open-source-software-a… Put up a bounty for a feature in X open source client, assign it to the original author of the client, get the zaps, do the work. The client dev gets paid, the community gets their feature.

anything I can help with or clarify related to cashu? it's an open source project, we welcome pull requests.

use cashu if you like cashu, i really don’t care. I personally don’t have any use for it and would rather focus on improving lightning tech

we have only had one release, so it has a bit to go in terms of features, but it should at least be the fastest
