Nostr Web Client

to be fair, some mobile nostr clients don’t check the signature of every note before presenting it. I don’t really have a hard opinion on if that is necessary.

the mastadon guy is offering this same critique about the bluesky app… but instead of the dev saying “we don’t believe it’s necessary, to much for mobile” or “correct it doesn’t do that yet” he takes this shorting of crypto which in that sentence, to me it’s pretty clear he ain’t talking about coin, and Paul responds with “it doesn’t use crypto in the coin sense”.

it’s a dunk on someone who’s just being a little ranty and playful in analysis of the differences between the protocols.

It just sucks cause I’d like to see what Paul’s saying about the development of the protocol.

On nostr I probably wouldn’t of I tagged Paul and just replied the guy quoting him, but replying to: module doesn’t exist yet there.

Not sure why we are not checking the “event.sig” while the user is looking at the post?

If there are any signature validation problems, mere milliseconds later a warning could be presented to the user?

That way we can validate signatures on a low priority thread, and then cache the result?

#[3] Would such a feature be on the roadmap?

he’s answered this valid inquiry before, I’m pretty sure it’s a valid no. But my point is “just because it uses signatures, its not a coin” isn’t a valid response from Paul on the same question or critique, and it’s crazy I was blocked for pointing that out.
