Yeah I am fully onboard. I actually think it is a signal that nostr is winning. Scammers see it as a target so they have run the potential reward scenarios. If no one was using nostr it wouldn’t be a target.

2024-09-11 06:18:07

Yes! Glad to have a new episode drop, been too long @npub1yfg…v6vg, though I imagine that is just because you’ve been so busy. Keep it going!

It was fun while it lasted, now we’re onto the old scammy bot whack-a-mole replies and messages phase.

58k strategy is in full effect:
p =market_price;
do while (58k>=p OR 58k<=p);
stack += buyBTC();
if stack >= threshold;
selfcustody += stack;
stack = 0;
end;
end;

For those folks out there in Nostr land just looking at how to get followers like you have on X, you’ve already made a fatal mistake.
Execute personal choice and construct a real network among individuals. The aim of the game is not followers. It is connections….these are vastly different things.

2024-08-17 14:41:54

CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE! GM!

2024-08-17 14:39:43

- reply

There is no easy mode. Algos were always a bad idea. The aim of the game is effective social connections, not followers at all cost. You earn your social network by, you know…..networking. The old fashioned way. Not by being fed like a baby bird from the mouth of Elon.
I’m not in anyway trying to be abrasive. Just to help you see that the algo and ‘discoverability’ is exactly what makes your time on Nostr better and more effective in the long run. No more passive choices being picked for you….time to choose your own adventure!
I’m sure you’ll love it in the end.

Working through Humankind (thanks for the recommendation there, loving it). It sparked a theory/idea am currently mulling over. When I have it pinned down to something more concrete would like to get your thoughts on it.

Yeah actually just used Co-pilot (have access through work) which was dall-e under the hood I think. Images were OK but not simplistic enough for a logo and after one or two prompts it is hard to turn the image without the gen-ai over complicating or just screwing up the image.

2024-08-15 09:45:49

- reply

Excellent, thanks. At the moment is logo ideas for something I am building. I used GenAI to come up with something but I am wondering if I could throw more ideas of my own at the wall that are perhaps more simplistic.

On a separate note do you have any suggestion of where to start when creating a logo? Have a project and it needs something.

It does raise the question though, what is it about X etc. with a centralised DB that makes us think that something deleted is really actually deleted? Not sure if there is a way to truly be sure that you’re not rekt without controlling your stack.

*proved my point, hit send then saw the auto correct of “unsend it” to “insensitive”

2024-08-13 06:38:13

- reply

Would a time delay mechanism help do you think? A bit like some e-mail have an insensitive button for about 30sec after you hit send.
Perhaps you can optionally set safety rails for yourself in a client. E.g. you choose a “delayed send” time, 5, 10,15,30,60 sec then when you click post it shows in your local feed with a clock icon. Until then you have the option to click the icon and unsend/edit it. After which it pushes the content to relays.
@npub1xts…kk5s what do you think? Viable for Damus?

2024-08-08 14:14:17

- reply

Thanks will check it out. I was literally just saying to @npub1r0r…q9ac we need more plug and play relays for clients to focus on building more new stuff

2024-08-08 08:56:44

🤩

2024-08-08 08:23:00

- reply

As well as clients we need one click (over simplification) production ready relays that client devs can co deploy without needing to waste dev time building the relay backend themselves.
Although not critical, having your own relay to support your client application gives you good redundancy in case the other relays start purging content that your client may want. Thinking specifically about clients that are not just social platforms.
If you are aware of any fast deployment relay projects that don’t require the client devs to spend a lot of time learning new stuff I’d greatly appreciate any recommendations.

2024-08-08 06:45:19

GM nostr, remember folks we can and should have opinions. However, don’t be surprised when you voice them into the void and people don’t agree with you.
This isn’t Xitter, make your criticisms constructive or maybe consider keeping them to yourself.

Don’t rise to it, keep doing what you do. People do not realise how fucking hard it is being a developer already. Then you factor in being a developer in public and it cranks the pressure up to a different level.

Finally getting around to reading Humankind by Rutger Bregman.
This is Nostr and Bitcoin to a tee. When backed into a corner while the incumbent institutions crumble around us, we’re attempting to be our best selves.
Bullish on us all. https://image.nostr.build/a068ce720d2f78be6e66471142b44f274bce9d5fb2c5e78e7103234d97319c9a.jpg

The near complete lack of algorithm forces you to add and remove people from your social sphere actively. Putting full responsibility of managing the info you consume in your own hands.

The weight that was lifted when I deleted Twitter was amazing. So much negativity over there it was affecting my outlook on the world without me even knowing.

Just listening to this now and something Jason said really made me think. He said that if Trump talks about Bitcoin on TV it makes our job harder for convincing people that Bitcoin is net positive. This mentality and the fact that we accept it to be true really bothers me. I see the same from my in-laws, if “Trump says X I think Y”. It is like a visceral reaction that forces you to ignore logic or common sense and shut down the possibility of there being anything that could be good coming from the other side.
The same is true from the flipside if a democrat politician says something the republicans voters take the opposing stance irrespective of how illogical it is.
I worry that we’re just playing into the simple but effective strategy of divide and conquer. If tomorrow Trump said how much he liked the internet and it was a net positive would we all immediately ditch it? How about cars? Or Music?
We have to accept that we’re all complex and can have both good and bad ideas. We have to hold out the hope that common ground still exists and we have to reject the notion that “orange man = bad” is a true statement. Maybe he would be, maybe he wouldn’t there has to be some nuance or how do we move forward as a society?
Anyway sorry for the meandering thoughts, appreciate your work keep going, you’re doing good. Please have more pods like this where we explore the common ground between each other (you know, that weird space where reality is!!)

That said at least it seems like they cannot dismiss Bitcoin because it is too big of an issue they cannot afford to lose those votes.
