I agree... but I was specifically talking about https://bitcoindevkit.org
The rust lib doesn't seem to have realtime functions throwing events from nodes

2024-07-28 20:38:40

question for rust bdk developers... how do you keep in sync with the mempool?
is it possible to subscribe to wallet events somehow or is polling required?

Nix is so cool… have you tried microVMs?
They can be compared to Docker containers, except they’re safer and easier to manage.
This is not to mention that all those config files totally are reusable. Once you configure a Bitcoin node with NixOS, you can reproduce that on another computer just by reusing code. Reminds me a lot of programming language libraries.
Oh, and setting up baremetal computers is done with the same exact concept. That means any config can be reused anywhere, in a virtualized environment or not.
Take a look at https://astro.github.io/microvm.nix/

@npub19tc…nlea
What happens on your website when an alias is being recycled with a completely new node? Assuming the previous one never comes back on the network, of course…
Could this bring confusion in search results?

2024-03-01 01:40:44

All my LND node’s channels have been closed 4 months ago.
I am now in the process of creating a new one with Core Lightning. Is it possible to reuse the same identity? If so, how?

Am I realizing that snort and iris are now the same thing?

2023-10-06 18:19:28

Noticing Damus and Snort don’t seem to store their relay lists at in the same kind…
I can tell Damus stores them in the contents in a kind 3…
Where do Snort get theirs from? As we speak, I am having a snort page open with different relays than what I get from kind 3…
Also, it’s friday, might just be that i’m tired and misinterpreting data….

that might solve it… wondering if other clients have the same issue…

2023-09-29 17:48:38

- reply

dunno, but I am simply sending 2 subscriptions to kind 1 notes, but with two different pubkeys as filters…
the app is multi-process, so requests most probably gets sent simultaneously when I start my app…
would be surprised this is due to rate limiting, as the relay would probably mention it...
are you on a recent stryfry? cause other stryfrys can handle that abuse with no problem.

love to see it! thanks!

2023-09-29 17:34:50

@npub18m7…q955 seems like if an client is so fast it can send two requests before even receiving an answer, wss://relay.damus.io might disconnect at that point. That doesn’t happen on other relays I’ve tried, including other strfrys…
To fix things up, I have temporarily introduced some delays in between requests, and it works beautifully despite clearly being a patch.

how can we raise awareness about that to the relay operators? could make for a huge improvement as far as education goes for newcomers.

2023-09-26 17:13:02

- reply

If relay operators could end up having better resolution logos in the damus relays page through NIP-11… that might incite them to improve their branding, a.k.a. create one from scratch for most.

that’s a damus screenshot, right? wondering if it’s hardcoded, cause last I checked, most NIP-11 documents still don’t contain any logo.

That information sharing between apps is so beautiful it brings tears to my eyes…

2023-09-18 12:16:58

Important question for relay operators…
The context is a purple pilling event where attendants use wifi. Let’s say 50 of them install nostr clients and suddently start to subscribe all at the same time to various events. This sudden flow of subscriptions would obviously come from the same public IP.
In relay’s context, does this look like a spammy behavior? Could the IP end up being black listed, thus rendering nostr unusable for those newcomers?

2023-09-12 18:50:20

Just found out relays can now include an icon in their NIP-11 Relay Information Document...
Seems like none of those I use have on yet, though… would make for some dope UI.

Justin Trudeau’s Government is trying to tax Meta and Google for relaying news links in Canada, so they can redistribute some of it to the authors. Since, Meta has simply filtered those posts, peacefully solving the problem.
Now, the Canadian Government is both asking them to put that info back and send the money.
On nostr, there is no intermediary. So here is a free link on a french newspaper article about this exact subject:
