This is great! Nice work @npub1226…grkj .
Ive been wondering for a while though if some relays support 3k while most of the rest only support 1k and you are pointed to both in your relay list, will this cause a buggy experience or even for followers to disappear?

For a while, I missed those days too.
But there’s a new class of bitcoiners emerging in places like El Salvador and the global south in general. And they are much closer to the philosophy of the early bitcoiners.
For me it’s super cool to now be RE inspired at this point in Bitcoin history. Because now the philosophy is not just being talked about, it’s being LIVED.

Nope. I tried nostr a yr ago with snort but that was a temp account. My permanent account here was created with Damus and other than my test of primal shortly, this is all I’ve used.
Two other clues:
1. I’m not sure if the relays get flooded or maybe there’s a local memory leak if you do a lot of actions? If I followed more than like 20 people it seems the app really slows down. Maybe that’s when the follows get lost.
2. In general the follow list algorithm seems unoptimized. For example when I go to Jack’s profile and click followers (they start hidden), then the number starts climbing slowly from n=1++ and in his case tops out at like 2200ish followers. He obviously has lot more than that. But it seems like it’s literally doing a foreach loop counting 1by1 until something tops out (memory?)

@npub1zaf…26k5 appreciate you trying to help. I’m loving Damus. But this is driving me crazy.

2024-03-19 03:04:11

- reply

Yup. Followers sticking and slow/broken home feed was the reason I tried primal. Didn’t help much.
Came back to Damus. Heard that adding relays would help. It did help for the feed (still slow but better). But following is still very hit or miss. A rough approximation is maybe 50% stick.

Hi @npub1zaf…26k5, yes I tried primal with my keys to see if was more reliable (it wasn’t).

Someone told me to add more relays. That helped for me. It still sometimes doesn’t load. But most of the time it loads now.

2024-03-18 20:34:00

Ya I have a similar issue. I can follow people with purple checkmarks (whatever that means) on #damus but anyone without it won’t stick. I tried also on #primal, but my follows don’t seem to stick much better there either. I’m using like a dozen relays but that doesn’t seem to help either. 🤷🏽‍♂️. #noob #plebchain #asknostr

2024-03-18 20:30:40

- reply

I had a similar challenge.
The self custody wallets I use regularly are not easily used with damus since Lightening primarily works with open invoices. There were workarounds that set up a permanent lightening address but then you either needed to set that up through a centralized account or a fairly complicated work around.
I ended up just moving a small amount into a Damus compatible centralized wallet exclusively for sending zaps. But that’s not a great solution, since it’s kind of against the point of a decentralized social protocol working with decentralized money & payments 🤷🏽‍♂️. So if you find a good solution would love hear it.

I’ve been wondering the exact same thing about these purple checkmark icons in #damus…
I thought at first it was verified users (#NIP05 ?), but that doesn’t seem to be the case. Since I’m not verified but have the check.
I’ve also noticed this weird thing where it seems the only people I can successfully follow on Damus have this icon. Anyone else I follow without it doesn’t ‘stick’.
#Zaps for anyone who knows. Or maybe someone from the @npub18m7…q955 team can enlighten us!

Peer to peer over phones.
For example Machankura supposable can do #lightening payments over a type of SMS txt msg in Africa w no internet.
Or in Cuba they will do a local p2p #bitcoin exchange over telegram.

2024-03-18 02:50:49

Ya I think that because many #nostr folks share the values from #bitcoin, the community is tighter.
Also zaps definitely help the vibe & engagement levels too 😎.

2024-03-17 22:16:17

Ya likely bandwidth is still an issue for #nostr (I’m new here). But for #bitcoin… folks are transacting with little to no Internet at all (Cuba and Africa are examples).
If you guys are serious about a bitcoin circular economy send me a DM. That’s the focus of my philanthropy arm. So i’d ❤️ to hear about what you guys are thinking for the refuge camp.

I’m going the opposite 🙃. My ratio is probably really stupid (#plebchain), but at least my feed is interesting. Plus after being on Twitter for like 15yrs, #nostr is a breadth of fresh air.

2024-03-17 20:14:12

100% 👇🏾. It’s also why #bitcoin usage is growing the most in emerging markets. There, it’s much more obvious to see that the system is broken and corrupts, so the pain is most acute.

Sorry for the dumb Q, but what does ‘relay configuration’ mean. Someone else told me “add more relays” so I added like a dozen with low ish latency but that didn’t seem to help much. What else is there to configure?

2024-03-14 02:27:02

Well… if you were to steelman their rational - it’s that the investor gets the upside of bitcoin / mstr growth, but the downside protection that if it doesn’t grow (or goes down) they get their money back (plus a little interest)
The details of that are in the press release. The convertible note either pays back the loan w/ .0625% interest or converts to equity at 0.667. Someone can confirm my napkin math but this roughly means if if the price is over $1500/share (largely due to being a proxy for bitcoin growth), you might be better off taking the equity, and less than that and you could just take the loan back.
I’m oversimplifying, but this is the general idea why someone would consider it.
(PS disclaimer: I have no relationship w them, own no msft stock, and this is not investment advice)

Ya scaling seems problematic. I’ve tried a few different clients and every feed takes at least a few a seconds to load. Some screens will literally just hang. Worse than the early days of Twitter w/ the fail whale. Is this everyone else’s nostr experience? #asknostr

I have a similar problem on #damus. I can get zaps for my notes . But when I try to zap someone else’s note, it seems like I’m only able to zap the person not the individual note.
I even tried to switch to #primal to see if that helps, but it seems to not allow external wallets.
Would love someone to explain how zapping notes work across nostr. Like do only some clients support that? #asknostr @npub18m7…q955 @npub12vk…pugg

Economic and data ownership.
Economics issue: Slack at a company starts off as this bottom up msging for a small department, then overtime becomes a virus that the whole company ends up using. The next thing I know, I’m paying a 6 figure bill to Salesforce. 6 figures for chat software?!? I’d rather give say half of that to open source/nostr and save the company the other half (think enterprise linux vs Microsoft)
Data issue: if the whole company is on slack that means all that data (which overtime becomes a lot) is locked up in Salesforce ecosystem. I’d rather it be a private nostr node where we could ensure another company doesn’t own it, and then give us the freedom to use it ourselves in a multi modal way with tools like search, LLM training, etc.
There are other interesting new things that could be enabled too (like payments, rewards etc), but those two at least are annoying problems to me in a corporate setting.

2024-03-09 23:38:52

- reply

A layer of user controls (ACLs) could solve this. Slack already allows you to bring your own account in the form of Google SSO.
I do agree IT culture is problematic. But quite a few companies prefer open source tools internally (mine included).
Enterprise #nostr would be a cool project for someone ambitious. #grownostr

Ya I’m thinking about trying #Primal.
I like #Damus a lot but it seems unoptimized. For some reason: 1) my home feed only loads half the time. 2) when I click on someone popular like @npub1sg6…f63m to find more people to follow, it only shows me like a small percentage of their actual followers.
If anyone knows how to solve either issue, without changing clients, that’d be cool #asknostr
