I just realized that only Amethyst users can see our poll.
PS:
- yes, you can vote twice (it's not an election)
- yes, tally % is proportional to zap amount (you can bet big if you can about the feature)
- yes, you can also just zap the post if you don't have a preferred option but want to incentivize it.
Is the poll a new kind? Where are the specs you used? Please promote these details so it can catch on!
Yep, NIP 69. https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/320
NIP 69, Nice.
Have you documented any specifics about the proposed features? Would the market place be compatible with what Ben Arc demoed at Nsotrica?

I understand this is only a small poll about future features etc but I hope it doesn't become the norm. Problem is people with heavy bags will sway the poll to their advantage.
I couldn't agree more...
There's a very frustrating bug only a subset of phones see that freezes Amethyst. We would really appreciate it if you could fix that as a priority?
Whenever I open the profile of someone "famous" the app slows to a crawl. My suspicion (as a coder) is that fetching notes from relays is being done by the foreground task.🧐😢 I have to exit Amethyst completely and restart. Sometimes I have to force quit.😢
FYI, Iris seems to handle this just fine, probably using a separate thread...
It might be nice to understand if polls are a fix zap amount to vote, or a sum of zaps contribute to the distribution. The former was what I had seen before.
I think it will be confusing without clear UX - and people will feel betrayed or whatever if people can vote twice, etc.
I just realized I can login under anyone Pub key and see who they talk to in private messages, how often and when....The communication is encrypted but this is a big privacy leak. Any conversation on how to seal priv coms? BTW- Amethyst is now my favorite client. cheers
Yep, tons of conversations for the past 2 years already.. but no one can find a good solution for it.
Also, there hasn't been a lot of bounties to solve this, so... Interest from the cryptography community is very low.
Everything in #nostr is an event including messages. That's why the message metadata is accessible but not the content. Only the receiver and sender can decrypt the message data.
So the “wealthy” can literally buy elections? Do you need to zap to vote?
This is not an election.
Ok, it’s a poll but you didn’t address my point.
Yes, the answer is yes you need to pay hom to implement features.
TBH I'm more annoyed basic QOL features are missing like seeing who liked something, automatically broadcasting posts to relays on reconnect, the ability to disable the use of data from the app, oh and when I block someone I don't want their avatar to get loaded until I unblock them cus otherwise my blocked list is just full of porn.
It’s the same story with Damus, basic things like just seeing threads doesn’t work properly but there’s still a focus on zap stuff for whatever reason, idgi.
It's all open source folks. Both Amethyst and Damus would likely accept these PRs if anybody makes them...
I'm tempted to add some of the features I want on my own, I've just been busy and going through a lot of bullshit so I really don't have the time.
Yes long threads are basically unreadable because the part that displays who is replying to what is taking up 90% of the sceen.
I can understand why they are trying to monetize this to some extent, since they are doing this for free and it's a lot of work. That being said I don't really like the zap stuff, it's silly and materialistic.
Is porn a common experience on here? I think I've only seen 1 account like that "My zippers stuck, zap me to fix it" LMAO, though every time I go on global iris crashes after like 5 mins.
I’ve never seen it.
Today on *logged out* youtube front page got a video of a topless massage just directly in the thumbnail so as far as I'm concerned nostr seems to be doing ok.
Ad block is a moral necessity.
Comment nesting is off but I assume this is about YT? Yeah this wasn't an ad, it was a presented video on the main page logged out. I didn't watch it, but would have expected you would need to be logged in to view that type of content at all, let alone have YT recommending it to you.
I've seen a few when searching the public timeline for non crypto accounts.
It’s still an atrocious idea.
Feel free to create a workable non-zap option in NIP 69. We can implement if there is one.
No.

I didn’t realise it was a nip. I don’t understand why that would be part of nostr, I think crypto stuff should be a completely separate thing.
Funny thing about Nostr is that anyone can do what they want. There is no way to block things from "being part of Nostr". The NIP process is barely a guidance for implementers and a place for consensus in the use of event kinds. But one can always create their own kinds by themselves or break away from NIPs.
Is a new kind how you would distinguish data stored for a specific application? Let’s say I have an arbitrary json spec let’s just say a structure for a food recipe, would I then create a kind so people could share recipes? Or is there a better way to accomplish this? Just curious.
Yep, you would sign in the way relays can verify, but inside your JSON, you can add whatever you want.
Do an NIP if you want support from other clients.
Is Amethyst following this NIP-69 proposal for polls? Seems like it’s still in RFC and the author is in the process of addressing feedback. https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/320
#[3]'s first poll got few hundred k zaps #[1]
