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.

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.

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

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 🙄

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)

coping about what exactly
0000 sats
jb55131d ago
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.
0000 sats
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

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

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

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

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.

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
