That’s my understanding as well. So why are Jack Dorsey and the founder of #SimpleX saying the contrary? Odell said the same thing a while back too.

2024-09-17 15:17:27

If #censorship resistance comes at the expense of #privacy, and vice versa, does that mean #SimpleX (which is touted for best in class privacy) is easily censored? #asknostr #note1w4e…64mf

As annoying as it is, and although I do not condone #spam, this #ReplyGuy drama is probably for the best.
In the same way that #Bitcoin has been attacked countless times, and always survives, if #nostr is going to stand the test of time, it too must endure attacks, adapt, and become more robust.

Malicious and annoying, though it may be, #nostr will hopefully become more resilient as a result.

2024-09-07 02:34:58

I don’t think dropping all your free relays, and only using a single #wot (Web of Trust) relay, is an acceptable solution to stop getting spammed by “Reply Guy”.
Centralization is not the answer. If it was, then why not just go back to X? #asknostr #spam

It’s a fork of Signal though, isn’t it? And the security of that has been looked into quite rigorously already.

I’m still not sure what you mean. “Rose to the top” of what? Are you referring to the “suggested people to follow” that #damus presents to new users? I’m not sure what that has to do with this thread.

2024-08-31 15:09:17

- reply

Can you elaborate on why it’s not a technically valid reason?
I don’t think they are sophisticated enough to differentiate between multiple people using the same IP.
So when there’s a lot of traffic coming from one IP, they don’t know if it’s 100 people or 1 person generating 100 people’s worth of traffic, and that makes them uncomfortable.
Though I think websites that respect their users should embrace VPNs.

2024-08-31 14:47:12

They likely just see too many people connecting from the same IP address (your VPN).

Don’t try to change people. The best thing you can do is curate your friends, if it’s something you care about. The simple truth is likely that they just wanted to do something else more than see through their plans with you.

Don’t know about your client, but on #damus, images are uploaded to an ordinary HTTP server and linked into the note, not inlined.
Advantage: simple
Disadvantage: very centralized and not very censorship resistant

2024-08-13 14:43:36

I get it. So you can watch the livestream in your NOSTR app. That’s cool. That’s what I would like too. Seems like it’s not working in #damus though.

I see you referenced something called Zap Stream.
But have you ever seen a post on NOSTR, where you can watch the stream directly inside your NOSTR client? #asknostr

2024-08-13 13:52:48

#NOSTR already allows sharing images and videos.
Wouldn’t it be cool if you could share livestreams too? #asknostr

If your nsec leaks, what can be done about it?

2024-08-06 11:12:11

It seems like the main selling point that #nostr has over every other social network is #censorship resistance. People often liken NOSTR to #Bitcoin in this way. But if images in #damus (or any client) are uploaded to https://nostr.build by default, then all a censor (such as China) needs to do is block that domain, and now all those images are broken. How is that censorship resistant? #asknostr

Try paying for Starbucks, or McDonald’s (or anything really), with Bitcoin in San Salvador (the capital city of El Salvador). Nobody excepts it.

How does a person mute a “phrase” in #damus?

2024-07-29 12:46:07

Is anyone else’s home feed getting spammed with a tonne of identical notes, all asking for donations?
It’s weird because I am not following any of these accounts, and they don’t include hashtags that I follow, so I have no idea why they are in my feed in the first place.
It’s making the #damus experience almost unusable lately.
Muting doesn’t seem to help much, since the spammer seems to be using many different npubs.
#asknostr

2024-07-28 17:15:25

I think #NOSTR is great, but people who think it is going to take over and out-compete (or even be equal to) centralized platforms seem kind of deluded.
Most people just don’t care about “owning” their data. Most people don’t care about getting banned (because most people don’t get banned). They just care if it works or not. And for most people, for most purposes, the existing platforms continue to just work.
Censorship resistance is where NOSTR excels, but it’s a niche market, and maybe always will be.

Should be possible to detect the language on client and hide the post automatically. This feature does not exist in #damus however. Would be nice.

2024-07-07 15:07:25

Using Tor means putting hops between users and media servers. Does that decrease censorship resistance too?

I’m not saying to encrypt all public things on nostr. I’m saying to encrypt everything that goes through a push server, so Apple doesn’t see what you’re doing on nostr and link that to your real world identity, should you care about privacy.

2024-07-04 19:51:35

The point is that nothing going through a push server should be unencrypted.

2024-07-04 18:21:01

- reply

The purpose of encryption is not to “hide public infomation”, as you imply. The purpose is to make “what you are doing on your phone” private by default.

2024-07-04 18:14:17

- reply

What would be the purpose of end to encrypting the push notifications?
So that you can browse nostr privately, obviously, without reporting to a corporation everything that you’re looking at.

That’s not true. The “v=XXXXXXXXXX” is the ID of the video itself, which is necessary.

2024-06-20 05:03:12

When someone shares a #YouTube video link, what is that extra, completely unneeded part that looks like:
si=XXXXXXXXXXXXX
Is that a “share identifier”?
Is Google using that to identify who originally shared the video, and who you are associated with based on who is else is clicking it?

It would be nice if there was a video, under one minute long, that showed someone converting some #Bitcoin into #cashu #ecash, sending some of it to someone, and then receiving some too. Even cooler if they could finish by bringing it all the way back to sats in a #lightning wallet.
