I think the three areas we've spent a lot of time in was private key management, e2ee data synchronization, and identity/privacy. We have some interesting research and product ideas for any app that wants to protect user data while still offering a good UX. While we're not specifically targetting nostr or bitcoin things, some of our GTM strategy may include some experimentation with them.

The number one thing I learned building a product is that people do not know how to read.
That is completely reinforced by people's inability to read product shutdown announcements too and coming up with their own conclusions in their heads. It's wild.

You want us to announce that we might announce that we might shut down? Come on dude, I get that you're angry and confused and that not everything happens perfectly in hindsight from every single person's perspecrtive but be reasonable. We announced as soon as a decision was made, to give the most amount of time for people to migrate off. A timeline and further updates, including disabling new wallets, will come soon.
Mutiny+ users are month to month subscriptions and they've received their services for each month they were subscribed. We stopped processing payments for Mutiny+ about 2 months ago so there's nothing to refund.
We're not making another wallet.
What does this say about open source donations? Well, for one, you don't own people for life if you've ever zapped them. For two, look up the definition of donations. If you've expected something in return then that really says more about yourself. For three, we've delivered on our 6 month grant and our code is all FOSS. This isn't a lifetime commitment.
Again, literally everything about our shut down decisions is in the block. Things don't always work out in this world. You can accept it or you can lash out and reject it. The truth of the matter is you're never going to be happy with any kind of decision or answer when things like this are out of your control. Sorry this impacted you, you're still welcome to maintain and run the software we provided everyone for free.

For now, I'll say that I'm grateful to have met some of the best people in this space and in this world.

You mean the one provider that is the sole LN swap provider for the whole network? That sees completely the destination and amount, in addition to the liquid funding transactions in the 1 tx/min network with an anon set of like 100 people?

Basically blastr built into a client directly now. Glad to see clients catch onto one of the two main reasons why I built it in the first place.
I still think real private information retrieval is where we should end up on the read side. It really is a concern that your client developer is also your main/only relay where they can see EVERYTHING you do here.

There's a lot of value for it, my main argument against it is that there is yet to be a person or team that can demonstrate it's usefulness at all, yet alone at scale.
My only hope is that there are smaller pieces that can take advantage of it without it needing to be a huge full blown WoT-thing. Biased example, a small part of our app uses WoT for mint discovery but otherwise is not a WoT app.

Creatr is really cool, they're doing some unique things to try to paywall and control the spread of notes to other relays, like putting in an expiration tag.
Unfortunately not all relays obey this and some clients rebroadcast notes anytime they interact with them. So it almost makes it unusable as a paywall.
Really unfortunate. To me, it just confirms that Nostr is only ever usable as a mass broadcast messaging system. Which is okay, but just kills the whole idea of paywalls, "small relays", etc.

2024-06-15 02:02:42

Yeah that is unfortunate. If clients broadcast top level notes when replies happen too then that's going to make it hard at all to have something paywall like here on Nostr. I believe Amethyst does.

Actually, fuck, yeah for some reason they are bleeding through even with the tag.

Rebroadcasting my creatr post doesn't work because of how they are handling special tags for it. I can't find the docs where I've read that right now.
However, yeah your reply to me does show up everywhere and my reply to you will as well since the Creatr platform doesn't have a good way to do that yet. However, I could manually apply the special tag and respond to you on only this relay. Not sure if you could do the same in theory.

Relays and clients handle things differently. You can view them just fine on other clients.
Quite simply, some may not want things sitting around forever. It was never your notes in the first place, not even your relay. If you want an archive of every event that has ever taken place on the internet, then run your own caching relay.

2024-06-13 23:08:08

Why do this? After going through the experiment of trying to cut back on my SM usage and then delete as many of my notes as possible (utter failure), I feel like a good middle ground with nostr is having the ability to "control my own data" more.
I am not sure what I want out of Creatr, but I feel like this is a step in that direction.

2024-06-13 21:50:19

Going to be using Creatr exclusively for awhile, and keep most of my content behind one of the tiers there: https://creatr.nostr.wine
Really cool to see how much as been built up over there. It doesn't work with every Nostr client but luckily they have their own site for it to help bootstrap the adoption of subscriptions and paywalls. I believe any client that supports AUTH will allow you to subscribe, add the creatr relay ( wss://creatr.nostr.wine ) and see my content.

Your client respects deletes and removes them when it sees them. There are relays still giving this data to you in the first place.

Tried deleting all of my nostr notes. There was probably like 10k of them across notes, replies, quotes, reactions, zaps, etc.
It did not work very well, all nostr clients handle it differently and a lot of nostr relays do not respect deletes.
