Is highlighter going to get a safari extension #[0] ?
Discussion
This would be dope!!
For those that use Safari over Firefox... what is it that drives that preference for you? I personally can't imagine not being on FF.
Fast and efficient. Good default privacy and security settings.
Yep. Also handoff + iCloud sync.
+ my 2012 mbp can’t really run other browsers very efficiently 😅
Although the arc browser has kinda become my default on the newer mac
Sécurité renforcée
I would never use safari then again, I would never really use a Mac either My mother has one and the day she bought it, she complained about how slow it was to the store she bought it from and they said it's supposed to be that slow
Tbh with u I'm not sure that's a fair assessment. I even played with Safari yesterday and it runs pretty smoothly on MacOS.
Not surprising since it's a webkit engine designed by Apple itself.
Though the recent v. 113 update on FF is fantastic and has a noticeable increase in fluidity and overall smooth functioning.
True. I guess my mother's Mac is kind of old now anyways I think it was from 2013 I think for a little older than that
100%
I'm also making the Console view more powerful so it'll ingest pretty much anything, for now just text-based URLs (e.g. medium.com), but eventually other non-text content media (i.e. audio/video clips)
Or a Firefox extension 😁
I have a firefox 60% built 😅😅 I’ll try to push it pass the finish line soon
is highlighter like a snitch tag? seems kind of like a snitch tag...
Not at all; it’s a way of storing valuable content you’ve run into in a book, article, podcast, etc
where does it get stored? 🙂
Relays
how do you store data on a relay?
but that's just a database - to whom does it belong?
An event is signed by your private key and is cryptographically tied to your pubkey identity.
that's so you can access it. who is in control of the database on the relay?
Whoever owns the relay. It’s their computer. The note ID isn’t about access but cryptographic verification.
exactly. your key is thus simply proof of stake because the work is spirited away to another server. so again: a highlighter is a snitch tag for discovery stored externally from your custody.
If I understand what you mean correctly then kind of. It’s a way for you to share interesting thoughts and ideas you’ve found around the web with others. The spiriting away to other people’s computers is optional though. If you’re worried about relays removing your notes than you can spirit it away to a computer you control.
You can also run your own relay. Then you’ll be in control of the notes you store. Another way is to pay for a relay in exchange for a promise that they’ll store your notes.
sounds complicated. and even if your run your own relay, it's really just eth stake. control maybe - ownership, no.
a promise. yeah like stocks and shitcoins.
✌🏻😎🤙🏻
It’s really not staking. The point is not ownership. Notes are information. Information can’t be owned, only hidden with encryption or tied to a public key by signing with a private key.
You are absolutely correct that storing your notes on someone else’s computer is just a promise. The great thing about Nostr is that if one of your relays goes down or decides they don’t like your notes you’ve still got 11 other relays still storing your notes. There are also plenty of one tap options available to start running relays that make it incredibly simple to self custody.
it's permissionless data storage - so if it's not stake, then those who do so only archive it and aren't profiting from it or using it in any way?
proof of work is the foundation for bitcoin and the blockchain - it is proof of origin of original content. if you deny source proof of work, you cannot be in favour of real bitcoin.
if a highlight is attached to a bot conversation in which large amounts of data are exchanged and there's no way to reverse it - what is the guarantee that content is not misused against the creator? i had this happen but i hold self custody in layers, all of my writing is open source for free&fair use, and i use cold storage on my own server towers etc, so my proof of work for everything is secured. still - ? there's no way to challenge that doxxing by ai bots nor do i know where it went.
running your own relay is still renting a pathway - or a fork.
sounds like it's a scheme to get people roped into using a digital wallet on the platform in order to begin to draw them in to a reclamation process they didn't intend to participate in when they began using the platform.
screenshots are forever.
I’m not completely clear what you mean about proof of work vs stake on Nostr but hopefully I can clarify a few things.
1. The relays are archiving your notes and other events. Since the entire event is cryptographically signed they can’t change it in any way.
2. Public key private key cryptography signs the event and proves (just like in Bitcoin) that whoever sent the event has access to the private key.
3. Whenever you make information public there is no way to stop people from saving that information. This is inherent no matter how you publish that information.
4. Notes are only tied to your public key. If your public key is tied to your physical identity than your notes are tied to you. But you don’t have to associate your pubkey and physical identity.
5. Whenever you make information public it’s difficult to control how others use it. You could try to distribute it under a license and then sue people who violate that license but no matter how you publish information it’s extremely difficult to control how it’s used. This is not unique to Nostr.
I would recommend #[5] ‘s video explaining how Nostr works. He has a great explanation. His other videos are great as well.
