Nostr is still my favorite decentralized social/messaging protocol. I think a fun hackathon project would be to build an on chain variation where the messages are written on chain via call data. Instead of relays you’d need indexers.

It is #[3]

Nice, there’s actually a Nostr talk https://nostr.build/i/nostr.build_839dcb7628949cd34723af6a21132ff2826fefd190a293348b5e26fd1b188fd7.jpeg

Anyone else at MIT Bitcoin Expo today? https://nostr.build/i/nostr.build_f9f4dee4d20032342bee6b0ef06469c0dad1597303e3e8379b807f2fb3d94204.jpeg

I find the comparison between blockchain and the internet or TCP/IP rather tenuous. Are there any insightful articles that delve deeper into this analogy?

Seems like a legit concern at this point. 😅

It looks like it's 567 kb. I cleared the cache like #[1] recommended and force-closed the app and it's animated again. 🤷

2023-01-09 21:38:19 UTC

I just realized my pfp isn’t animated in Damus anymore. Did something change?

2023-01-09 21:34:02 UTC

At this point a lot of Nostr talk seems to be about Nostr. I wonder what are the topics where Nostr will be the go to place? Bitcoin/blockchain? Software development? Linux?

I would assume so. If they only exist on that single relay.

Oh that's a cool face. I've always just liked the mask from Eyes Wide Shut and it felt relevant for a block page haha.

Hmmm probably. It has to have headers to allow remote origins (at least for Astral)

2022-12-21 02:11:23 UTC

I’ve been thinking about switching to Android. Is there a Nostr app for Android? Maybe I’ll have to stick with ios

2022-12-21 02:06:43 UTC

That can sometimes be due to a missing CORS header on the image.

That would be cool as hell.

I hadn't checked my own node in a little while. It looks like a bunch of nodes closed channels recently. Very interesting.

That's a huge node lol. It looks like I have some free channels, I'll have to open some to you guys https://amboss.space/node/03dddcc5d01a3286a9d476f35a5a9cced9acfe770f643ad65c18b9efb2bca2f555

Will the images load inline from your own posts? Assuming you don’t follow yourself?

Maybe I'll have to start self-hosting images. It's hard to beat the convenience of imgur though. I need some fast way to paste screenshots to my image server... Maybe some NFS mounts or something

Was trying out Damus web and saw lots of XSS alerts: https://imgur.com/72kaWBV.png

Does anyone else find it scary to paste their private keys into Nostr clients? It seems like a risky UX pattern.

Ah ok. Thanks! Are the nsec/npub prefixes part of that as well?

2022-11-11 00:53:59 UTC

Is there a NIP or something that explains how private and public keys should be encoded? It looks like Damus supports a format other than just a raw hex key.

Yeah it was really insightful. I don't think much gets written about operating nodes of any kind.

I was reading this article and saw that the operator of Zero Fee Routing recommended Nostr. I hadn't heard of it at all but seemed like an awesome idea. https://lightningnetwork.plus/posts/335
