We’re working on ways to keep memory requirements trim, even when processing the entire network, by only handling subsets at a time. 🤞🏼

Seriously folks. That’s what the internet is for. We’re currently building out all network mapping and score calculations server side. This will be a lot of calculating, but I’m confident we can keep the user experience crisp and responsive without melting client devices. Even mobile.

I think you missed the point of my question … if it matters.
Today, nostr is a reservoir for freedom culture. In the not so far future, when Nostr is global and the standard “nostr app” is a hybrid app, indistinguishable from any other black box reseller of user data, Nostr will no longer be this reservoir. It will no longer hold value as freedom tech.
SO WHAT if this is inevitable. Freedom culture is always under threat.
So my more direct question is:
“How do we retain freedom culture even as the tools we build to support it are eroded by NGU culture?”

Yes it is complicated. But there are a “finite” set of these data types (Nostr event kinds that interact with other events in ways that may be interesting for WoT) to calculate.
There doesn’t need to be a standard of “which data types” should be used “in which manner” by clients. Some de facto standards may arise, while other algo inputs will only increase in complexity. Standards are not as important as adaptability.
For the foreseeable future, developers of WoT recommendation engines will have to keep their ears to the ground to adapt their algo inputs accordingly. But this complication does not need to be developed all at once or overnight.
Mind you, this is a new perspective for me. It’s much easier to just say “let’s make a standard”, to make development easier. But life IRL does not work this way. Life adapts. So we must learn to adapt as Nostr grows.
Today we do this. Tomorrow we do a bit more. Baby steps.

@npub1r0r…q9ac and @npub1qny…95gx are not entirely convinced that a “dedicated onboarding client” is the best way to solve for onboarding … however, social onboarding is different.
- links and QR codes (for inviting friends) MUST land on a web based client, and installing a native client will ALWAYS be more steps for the end user.
- The UX for customizable invites and network discovery of recommended clients, relays, follows, and other stuff should REALLY be a polished flow. Most social clients will not have such a polished flow as a dedicated onboarding client, or at least a “plug and play” wizard that can be added to their own client.
- the most important feature for social onboarding is immediate and private communication between the invited and their advocate inviter. This can be as simple as implementing gift-wrapped direct messaging in the onboard client itself.
nostrmeet.me fulfills all of these needs. it is a “dedicated onboard client” because, despite the hurdle of having “yet another client”, exactly this kind of client IS what is needed for social onboarding.

nostr.build is in this list, with 8 reports of “apparent child pornography”. That’s not a lot, but more than we should want to see.
While image uploads are more vulnerable to be taken down than other Nostr content (because an image is only hosted in one location) there are a growing number of these upload services available for Nostr clients.
I’m not sure how illegal image content should be restricted on Nostr, but I’m eager to see this conversation unfold.

But it does have to do with Nostr, when clients need to sacrifice in various ways to keep devices from melting…

Nostr may be better with Bitcoin, but Bitcoin needs Nostr.
Nostr is a reservoir for “freedom culture”, which is being diluted by “number go up” culture.
Bitcoin may be designed to fix the system, but the powers that be won’t go down with a fight. Freedom culture is the obvious target. As long as “Bitcoin only” is the mantra, then the freedoms promised by Bitcoin will slowly be eroded.
Nostr is how we preserve the “culture of freedom” so that we can manifest the future promised by Bitcoin.

When measuring Nostr’s global market share, however, we need to be aware that “hybrid” Nostr apps will not have the same freedom power as “Nostr only” apps.
If it uses Nostr as identity layer, and stores user data in a local DB, is it really freedom tech?
Hybrid apps are inevitable. Question is, how do we measure success and promote freedom tech?

As an individualist, it breaks my brain to think that this “must be” the case. But even as (arguably) eusocial as humans have evolved to be, preservation of self is still the primary driver for every individual.
“Nobody cares” is not a statement about myself, or my beliefs or judgements. It’s a simple extrapolation from this fact that people “mostly” care to preserve themselves.
As an individualist, i fully support this. I believe that “better humans make better society” and that “better” is best made by an individual rather than anyone else.
But this puts me in an awkward spot when i (as a social human) do sometimes feel that “nobody cares” about the world in which i live.
My world view is mine alone to enjoy.

Back in January I got a generous offer from @npub1san…qjdd to get MVP off the ground. However, because projects always end up more complicated than at first they seem (reasons described above), after four months of FT (full time) work, I still wasn’t MVP complete. Since then, I’ve been trying to afford more hours on this as a side project. But I’d honestly rather be building Nostr only, and I’m shit at multitasking.

Fuck yea. Ecash preloaded for your friends new to Nostr. Customizable per invite!!
Our invites are signed Nostr events, stored on our own app cloud. So verifying authenticity of any invite URL is no problem. All sorts of restrictions (by location, by date, by secret code ect…) can be set to assure invites are validated only by your intended friends.

2024-08-22 20:18:02

- reply

The flow for recommending clients is still being polished, but will pull recommendations from the invite itself (customizable per invite) and from the NIP-89 “recommended clients” found in the invitor’s web of trust. These will be presented as download links or web links on the “recommended clients” tab of the app.
https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/89.md
Indeed, many people I’ve talked to think a dedicated client is not feesable, in that it adds this inevitable “extra step” of client discovery to an already “friction filled” nostr onboarding. But social onboarding is different.
For one, invites (QR codes and links) need to point to a web based client. Many people’s “preferred” Nostr experience is a native app. There is no way to link to an app that your friend does not have, so two steps is already inevitable in many cases.
Additionally, social onboarding deserves its own polished user experience. The added functionality needed to allow users to create customizable invites AND to allow their invited friends to browse recommended relays, recommended follows, recommended clients, and other stuff, is not functionality that EVERY client developer is gonna be willing to invest in.
Social onboarding might be a feature set of a more feature rich social client, but it is a specific feature set that needs to be realized on its own merit. My dedicated client is just the proof of concept.
Here’s an article I wrote:

The “other one” mentioned is not really an invitation based onboarding tool.
nosta.me is really Nostr’s first dedicated onboarding client, but assumes that a person will just go there without any “real world” relation to somebody already on Nostr. It has no facility to discover existing WoT connections to a newly created account. Additionally, it has a pretty cumbersome and “in your face” key management UI, which I found off putting for inviting friends.

I prolly need another 2-4 weeks (reality check) to push MVP live.
This got more complicated when I realized that meeting people IN PERSON requires a specific attention to respecting privacy, when it comes to DM metadata leak.
For a real world usable MVP to “scan my QR code to create a Nostr npub and DM me privately and anonymously”, I realized that standard kind-4 DMs would NOT do, and that NDK needed to support NIP17 private messages. So I built this out for NDK, and that set me back and then I had to get back to the fiat mines (after a few months FT on this) with MVP almost complete.
https://github.com/nostr-dev-kit/ndk/pull/233
My geyser “MVP Release” goal is 8k sats, to support me full time to get real world usable MVP out the door.
https://geyser.fund/project/nostrmeetme/goals
Until then, this project is slow roll to MVP in my spare time. (But I will never give up!)

Thanks for asking…
MVP is not yet (but almost) complete … but need to afford more development time.
https://geyser.fund/project/nostrmeetme
- invites will be customizable, with default being that your invited friend only follows you
- customizable invites allow you to “recommend” specific follows based on who (what friend group) you are inviting. ALSO there will be a network explorer for your invited friend to see and discover new follows based on your follows and their follows.
- the password is for your invited friend to “log on again” if needed … because when their new npub is first created from the invite, they choose a username and password (like they are used to). The password encrypts their nsec, and stores the encrypted on our app cloud. This allows for you to onboard them to Nostr and delay the key management talk, without need for key custody.
- yes. All aspects of invites will be customizable. AND relays (that you and your follows connect to) will be discoverable by the invited in the network explorer. (Similar to discovering your follows)
- the customizable invites are “coming soon” … as long as I can pay rent while developing. (This does require full time… and I don’t have that without funding)
- the MVP (minimum functional release) will be simply “scan my QR code and message me privately” (using gift wrapped no-data-leak NIP-17) which is a valuable app in its own right for having instant private and anonymous messages with anybody.

- “I want to consume more interesting content” give them a list of high ratio note posters in their network.
- “I want to know more seasoned Nostr veterans” give them a list of npubs with high note and reply count
- “I want to reach out to the Nostr lonely” give them a list of npubs with low note and reply count.
