What happened? Someone mistook crypto for crypto-tokens instead of cryptography?
Discussion
to be fair, some mobile nostr clients donât check the signature of every note before presenting it. I donât 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 âwe donât believe itâs necessary, to much for mobileâ or âcorrect it doesnât do that yetâ he takes this shorting of crypto which in that sentence, to me itâs pretty clear he ainât talking about coin, and Paul responds with âit doesnât use crypto in the coin senseâ.
itâs a dunk on someone whoâs just being a little ranty and playful in analysis of the differences between the protocols.
It just sucks cause Iâd like to see what Paulâs saying about the development of the protocol.
On nostr I probably wouldnât of I tagged Paul and just replied the guy quoting him, but replying to: module doesnât exist yet there.
Not sure why we are not checking the âevent.sigâ 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]â Would such a feature be on the roadmap?
heâs answered this valid inquiry before, Iâm pretty sure itâs a valid no. But my point is âjust because it uses signatures, its not a coinâ isnât a valid response from Paul on the same question or critique, and itâs crazy I was blocked for pointing that out.
