Great watch indeed, I got the Instinct 2x solar tactical and the built-in flashlight is just so useful! Also 40d battery life if I go outside often enough 🤩

Outbox is a great model! Basically Mastodon, but you can easily migrate your account because it's just a private key with a lightly coupled "home relay".
How does it deal with threads? I guess my home relay has to keep track of replies to my posts? Spam will be an interesting problem to solve since suddenly my relay has to accept third party data. Maybe micro payments are the way to go?
I guess there will also be "index relays" eventually that keep the entire global routing table (which would be in the 10s of GB once nostr is successful)?

Trying to pump up the Nostr engagement numbers? 😜
More seriously, if rust tells you you are doing something wrong it's typically correct about it. Not great for random hacking around without a plan, but awesome for building and maintaining reliable systems. The main problem I feel is finding good developers (that aren't already working on something super awesome).

Do you happen to know why it begins downloading stuff like mad and supposedly runs out of memory eventually (rather quickly on a GBit backed WiFi)?

Idk why, but viewing your profile made Amethyst crash more than once for me 😬 maybe related?

One of the most important but likely most underrated things happening in Nostr right now. Building distributed systems is hard. #[0] https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/355/files

That could hide unintentional implementation or configuration errors 😬 better to be explicitly about where money goes.

Didn't think about it that way before, but does it mess with #hashtags ?

Having test vectors people can easily test against and maybe a more machine readable spec (e.g. JSON schema) would help with that. My experience with Nostr and LNURL has been one of reverse-engineering and trying to understand the author's intentions so far (human language sucks for specs).
There's only so much time people spend on spec compliance if it works(tm), being compliant should be the easiest path to "it works".

Wow, Amethyst supports nearly everything 😲

Do any nostr clients support rudimentary markdown like:
* Lists
* *italic* and **bold** typefaces
* [Hyperlinks](https://bitcoin.org)
* `innline code`
```rust
// Code blocks
let foo = "bar";
```
## Subheadings
And finally footnotes [^1]
[^1]: lmk if anything works :)

Props to #[0] for being the only org I've seen so far generating their `.well-known/nostr.json` on the fly using the `?name=…` parameter and not just listing everyone with a NIP-5 handle under the domain.
Is there some open source server for that? Not that it'd be hard to implement, but why re-invent the wheel …

After some more hacking with #[0] I finally got Zaps to work properly with my Core Lightning node. All you need is two plugins:
* clnurl: LNURL server with Nostr support https://github.com/elsirion/clnurl
* cln-zapper: Broadcast zap notes when invoices are paid https://github.com/thesimplekid/cln-zapper-rs
