After listening to @npub1dtg…up6m and @npub1guh…6hjy on TFTC, I can't wait for a copy of @npub1zf8…7888.
We need more second-order #bitcoin content like this. Yes, bitcoin is going to make us all rich, but then what? Today's hodlers have a massive responsibility to reshape the future and be stewards of the virtues we want to see in the world.

I've honestly had a lot of issues with it. I want to like it because I like the roadmap and ethos, but I have payments fail all the time, the fedimint integration hasn't worked once for me, routes constantly fail for the LN Address, etc. I pay for Mutiny+ to support development, but Zeus is my daily driver to self-custodial LN right now. Just works more reliably for me.

Setup multi-vendor multisig, and then you don’t have to worry as much about each hardware wallet. One could be compromised without you losing everything.

I thought Jack had reposted their article from yesterday about seed phrases (https://bitkey.build/seed-phrases-are-sharp-edges/) and responded before I saw it was a new article about hardware device screens.
I don’t agree with all the reasoning in that seed phrase article. Ultimately, someone has to control the seed. If the user doesn’t keep a copy themselves, then they’re deferring trust somewhere else.
“Seedless” custody generally puts a lot of trust in the device securing that seed. Without a seed backup, hardware failures are catastrophic for singlesig setups. I would never do seedless unless it were multisig. But even with seedless multisig, losing a device means you have to deal with a more complicated key rotation process, rather than just recovering the same seed into a new device.
In Block’s Bitkey setup, it sounds like it’s seedless multisig “until you need to export the seed”. It’s yet to be seen how sovereign that recovery can be or if you’ll have to ultimately get permission to access a seed or move to a different multisig coordinator. It sounds prone to lock-in, but I’d need to read more about the technical details to know.
There are trade offs to various approaches, and I don’t think their seed phrase article properly highlights those trade offs.
—
But like I said, the article Jack linked in the OP is a different topic - hardware device screens. It seems pretty well reasoned, but I only skimmed it. I don’t know if I agree with all the listed attack vectors and risks associated with over-reliance on device screens. I prefer a screen on the device, but screenless might work well enough in their setup, since it’ll have a server-side component to help verify data.
Regardless, it’s a unique approach, and I’m interested to see how it develops. Will probably be a good onboarding option for less technical people.

Eventually, I'd expect to see something where devs post a particular kind of nostr event with release notes for each build (including a digital signature, so you know it's legit). A particular client could allow you to watch for that message type (not sure if it'd be a dedicated note kind, posted to a specific relay, or just "any post from x npub"). If you see that message, automatically send a zap.
Could function similarly to value-for-value podcasting, except you'd send payments on nostr event trigger (e.g., new release announcement note from verified dev), rather than per-minute. You could still set a configurable number of sats to zap per software/dev, set budgets, etc., but it seems very doable if we standardize on some sort of process. I'm sure people are already working on something like that.

Well it’s nice to be able to actually look at the global feed without seeing tons of spam. It’s hard to quantify, but it seems like my feed, notes, user profiles, etc load a bit faster than they were before. Not sure if that’s more because of relay selection or just narrowing down the number of relays I’m pulling data from. 🤷‍♂️
But it’s also hard to know what you might be missing if you’re only on paid relays. That’s one thing i like about nostr.wine’s paid filter - it pulls from public relays but only includes posts from your followers and their followers. And it still posts back to them for wider reach.

Not really a bot solution - just a crowdsourced paywall instead of per-person paywall.

2023-03-02 22:06:06

- reply

Along these lines, I'd love something similar to the "crowdwall" concept John Carvalho uses for his podcast. (https://thebiz.pro/about#crowdwall)
Basically nostr notes with hidden content until some cumulative number of sats have been zapped, and then the content is revealed to everyone going forward. Because the zaps are nostr messages themselves, even if the content itself were hosted on a separate blog or something, it could pull the list of zaps and show a section for all the people that donated to make the content available, like a sponsorship leaderboard.

2023-03-02 21:48:35

- reply

Yes, I think there's an interesting overlap between the two protocols. Nostr seems great for blasting small data blobs (like punch links), event-based notifications, and finding peers to connect with. Holepunch could do all the heavy lifting after that for more resource/data-intensive tasks between linked peers. Interested to see what gets built.

2023-03-02 20:51:33

- reply

I just want a simple interface where I can choose a subset of relays for different views of my timeline. E.g., geographically local relays, paid relays, personal/private relay events, relays dedicated to specific content/topics, etc. Relays haven’t really specialized in that way yet, but it seems like many will eventually. Right now, I pretty much just get a massive feed of everything.
