Interesting.
Is there any way you can chart some data somehow that shows the improvement along side when LLMs got good?
Thing is LLMs got sure usable 'bout Jan this year, but I think they were capable to help with reproducibility task quite some months before.

2026-07-06 06:15:49 UTC

Because of LLMs the reproducibility of software should have gotten better.
1) they can help you make your software reproducible
2) they can verify even convoluted builds, by setting up environments etc
Did it?

I have compressed it very aggresively. I wont do it less than 700mb.
I do not want to setup anything.
I dont want to spend time configuring things, I wan to spend time filming things.
Learning is not a problem I am very technical, and I have LLMs, I just want something that works.
And plus now I have this VPS, and other things and now i need to worry about bandwidth CNDs etc.

This is the 3rd consecutive day I have been trying to post my 12 minute video natively here.
Still could not get it to worked.
Primal wants me to pay 1 year upfront, nop.
Nostr.build, 450mb file limits, so not usable, also pay 1 year upfront.
My video is 12 min 700mb.
Is there really no way to do this?

Hey Mike,
Thanks for taking the time to write all of this up.
I am quite familiar with host nostr works, but context is always appreciated.
So the short answer is pay for better relaying. Got it.
Things is that every single person that talks about nostr talks in this very positive way, but no one ever mentions this, so I must imagine they are light users, which makes sense, most users will be light users.
Re primal specifically since you mentioned it, last week when I launched a very important project, it did not work. You push a button and did nothing, so I doubt that was because of not using premium tier.
But clearly this was just an unlucky coincidence and they had infra problems.
But clearly the main annoyance is the delta between my expectations and reality.
But in my defence the expectation set by people is that its almost 1:1 on x.

2026-06-30 19:53:12 UTC

So now I am using Jungle and Primal, and some notifications show up on one but not the other.
Also both laggy, and i have to press buttons more than once sometimes.
I get that there is no consensus for clients, but this is very unusable.
It also seems to me that both clients could try to discover posts more aggressively.
Is this a not-enough-resources-for-servers/relays problem, or something else?
Please, I am not interested in getting told how great this is, or how it’s not a problem for some of you, or that I should build it myself, or any equivalent defensive bullshit.
I am someone who uses social media heavily, and I put a lot of effort and money into creating content, so I want an app that actually works.
In fact, it needs to work at least 10x better than X for me to switch.
I am genuinely asking these questions because I want to understand what is causing these problems.
There is no way I am the only person that has these problems and is bothered by them.

I mean litterally every action i use on the wbesite does not laod, then loads i have to press 2 times, then i have the same thing psoted.
I meant it every button works non-determiniscally
But can you answer directly the servers quesion?
Like what is the sitaution with servers for relays, like CDNs bandwith and stuff.
I suspect thats the big problem?

I honestly do not understand how people use nostr every day and claim they dont need twitter.
EVERYTHING is broken, nothing works.
Btw, i am not a hater, I used nostr from the 1st ever damus client on mobile and have tried ever since.
But if you need to use social media to distribute ideas to people, this is unreliable.
Why is this not fixable?
(genuenly asking)
I understand that you have to talk to relayes and move data around, but the reason its bad and unreliable today is it because servers not good enough?
Could this be solved by throwing more money at it, and have better CDNs?

2026-06-25 08:28:08 UTC

I said I had problems with nostr. I could see the feed but could not post anything.
I was using primal in web login with nsec.
Switched to nostr.com now this works with no problems.
I don't get why is this hard to do?

I am very new AI stuff, so may be missing something.
Is reinforcement learning not an amazing tool to find strange Bitcoin consenseus bugs and edge cases?
I mean is consenseus written in the code not a super verifiable problem?
If yes, its fairly trivial and quite low cost to implement something like this.
So we should do it ASAP, as an adversary could do this with ease and attack Bitcoin.

I kinda developed a habbit of visually parsing the 1st 2 sentances, and now I ignore them (with chatGPT)
Interesting is that Grok does not do this, and it's way more disagreable than any other LLMs I tried. In fact if I say something that is obviously incorrect it will point that out, where as chatGPT it's like rationalising a way to agree with me.
As for using other LLMs they were pretty much unusable(for the tasks I was doing), and local ones similary not smart enough.

Publishign is not the problem anyone can broadcast a note.

Nvm the fact that, if i do this as a youtuber than I will have lets ay 100 even more videos per year, and now I have to host all of them.
Bottom line is storage scales exponentially.

2025-06-28 16:39:18 UTC

- reply

I don't think you can incentivise people to store your videos, mostly because it scales WAY worse than storing the blockchain.
The main thing about poting videos you want them to be live years from now, and even if cost is low, mental cost is a problem.
We definetly have the tech for this, the problem is how do you make this in a thing that makes sense.

I cant even guarantee I will even host my videos, let alone others.
its equivalent to if everyone would give a dollar. . . .
And if you say rent a VPS, we are back to youtube model.
My point is that I don't think normal people will pay for this, when youtube offers it for free.
Unless they post constantly banned content, youtube will work for most.
The problem IMO is that the incentive to store videos is not the same as storring the blockchain, even more it scales 10^N worst than the blockchain storage.
The problem is not the tech, is the conext, I think.

2025-06-28 16:28:36 UTC

- reply

It is still not obvious to me how you can guarantee the video will be up 1 year from now.
And if I would have to pay to incentivise seeders to keep my video up, or I would have to seed it, its unrealistic to think people will use that.
The reason YouTube pickedup is because you post and forget, and most people are ok with the trade-off.

2025-06-27 18:50:42 UTC

- reply

I am not very familiar with the spec, but is the spec not refering strictly to signing/linking keys to a video?
The question still remains who will host the video?
The data has to come from someones server.
And if you want to offer experiance comparable to YouTube, those servers need to:
1) be fast
2) content will be persistent, like 5 months from now.
Futher more if you have 10k people using this the storage and bandwith scales with this number.
So still not obvious to me how exactly that can work.

2025-06-27 17:08:07 UTC

- reply

I want this!
But the main question is how is the hosting going to be handled?
I mean you need a lot of server with lots of bandwith to deliver a decent experience.
Also heavy compression on videos is a bad things, no one enjoys videos with artefacts.

It CAN work as an editor, but it wont allow for superior functionality as premiere, is what the guy is saying in video.
In fact it points out it has very rudimentary color-grading, audio features, which is a must have if you are using it to edit videos filmed on a DSLR.
Also the last section of the video that goes over the BADs makes a good case for this.
But still learned a few things about it.

I don't want to spend time jumping through 100 hoops just to post something, I prefer to spend that time in the quality of the content.

It will introduce a ton of artefacts. Cinematography is kinda my thing, so no nueno :P
Btw I am very familiar with how compression and most codecs work, I just have a level of quality I will just not go below.

Fair point.
But if i compress it to be bellow that limit it will look like it was filmed with a rock, and I put a lot of effort making sure my videos look good.

What kind of a question is that? Why do I need it?
Because the video is 12 minutes long and its 1080p.

Is there really no way to post a video here that is bigger than 100mb?

No need to wonder you can check here https://www.secg.org/sec2-v2.pdf so looks like 2 😉
Though the 256 thing is aaa well quite nuanced.

Did you know Bitcoin was the 1st project to use the secp256k1 eliptic curve?
At the time NIST & ANSI recommended secp256R1.
Some speculate this was what in fact made Satoshi make the odd choice + some only theoretical optimisations at the time. https://blossom.primal.net/9917f88c0153ab1cd0a590ac67949605ad16c36f23697e8161cb197765c9931f.jpg

Did you know Bitcoin Core got it's 1st fee estimator in February 2015 with Bitcoin Core 0.10.0
Before this fees were hardcoded, and changed with new versions to reflect market conditions.

Here we can see people in 2010 being very surprised by the fact that fees are even a thing on Bitcoin.
They did not knew the extra BTC they got when mining were transactions fees.

I really don't understand why there needs to be an authority anywhere, this would run on your app.

You think that the only way you could have a selection algorythm in your app that picks what to shows you in your feed, requires an authority?

Who said anything about any authority?

No one needs a discovery algorithm!

Make a habit of:
- posting sources
- archiving things that you visit(archive.org + archive.ph)
10 years from now, someone will find the mundane things we talk about today very interesting.

Did you Bitcoin Core had an alert system where developers could send messages to users?
This was added by Satoshi after the inflation bug in August 2010
They could send a 256 bytes message to your node, like in the picture.
https://blossom.primal.net/938a967d195edad859d4d7b0bf2a97c408b67521502777da44549deed6a27bb9.jpg
Satoshi, Gavin and theymos were the 3 known people to have access to the trigerring key.
It was speculated Mark Karpeles(Mt. Gox CEO) had one.
The only one to trigger these alerts was Gavin.
https://blossom.primal.net/b259367c6bc1bd8b9d7c9fc58a6af4175e4de17a04f51f0782ba49e1f979aa19.jpg
Even though it could only send a text message that was sent to your node, it was still dangerous.
Some rogue actor could ask people to update to a bad client, and claim a vulnerability.
Because of this it was completely removed in 2016, and the private key was made public.

Most people know the 1st Bitcoin TX from Satoshi to Hal, in block 170.
But did you know the 2nd TXs we know Satoshi made to someone was to
Dustin Trammell in block 524 for 25 BTC.
Cryptographically proven by Dustin.
https://blossom.primal.net/9946e765b1fd8fd5de985b124260f26b196c92a802d508955f8290da141bf9a4.jpg
However between the TX in Block 170 to Hal until the one shown above, we can see there were 7 other transactions made.
Looking at how the funds flowed, it seems Satoshi was making test payments to hiself.

Haha thanks, I have some videos lined up, after I drop the Bitcoin Core Short Movie. The videos will focus specifically on Bitcoin Core Lore :D
Was thinking if I should maybe change the format of these threads to video.🤔
