Nostr Web Client

Hey, I know I am a smart person, but you don't seem to care, so, fuck you, right?

But I do care. That's why I'm questioning everything.

Try to think about the larger picture and look at it from the outside or another person's perspective. What do your actions solve?

If you want to help, this is not the way. I haven't seen any community outreach or attempts to work together or attempts at solving existing issues. Did I miss them?

To me, it looks like you want to be a dick and stir things up for laughs. If that's not the case then I'm sorry that I've misunderstood your actions.

From my perspective, it looks like you saw Nostr, said hey that's a good idea, I can improve upon it, but I want to do it on my own and not work with them. Again, did I miss something?

Because this reminds me of what Shitcoiners do. That's how I see all of this.

Besides, to take on the masses and change the world or save the world, if you want to get deep, we're going to need to work together. The adversaries are far greater than us put together. Why the fuck would we split efforts and fight one another? That's borderline dumb. And as I said. You're a smart guy.

Thanks John.

Ԍood Ⅿorning and pura vida, nostr! It's time to create notes and send zaps! 💜🫂🤙🏻

Fighting amongst ourselves when we have such large and entrenched adversaries is not the way. Working together is the path forward.

Derek, I have been discussing my vision for the web with fiatjaf since before nostr existed. Any notion that I am derivative or lack creativity in systems design would be intensely ignorant and ironic here.

The idea that I would just see a protocol and copy it is obnoxious, self-serving and lazy.

I have been researching & designing related solutions deeply for a long time. When I say things, they come from experience.

I compulsively share what I learn on all platforms that engage with it. Nostr seems to really like engaging with my criticisms, but they can't figure out how to do so in any way other than to insult and act out.

As far as working together, Nostr will need to learn that the cultism of Bitcoin does not map to the web. Because, like my popular post this week highlighted, people like me can't work with children offering fearful insults and tribal struggle sessions.

Until nostr gets comfortable with the idea that nostr is broken and dying, there's no point in tolerating this nonsense.

So what if I'm brutally candid, wtf reason is that to make it personal?

So what if I think your idols are hacks? You should be interested in why I am so sure!

Like I originally said, you're a smart guy. I know this. You know this. I followed you for years on Twitter, man. But I also sense you love arguing for arguments sake, because you know you're a smart guy. It's the typical geek with a chip on their shoulder scenario. You're brilliant. You are! You're also kind of a dick. And I think you know that too 🤣

So now I'm here trying to figure out what all of this solves and I'm coming up with nothing.

Nostr has many apps that are broken. You're right here! And I'm sure some aspects of the protocol could be improved. I may not understand this at the technical level as well as you or other developers, but I understand the concepts and I surely understand the real world scenarios. I've made it my mission to onboard users to Nostr over the last 2.5 years. I probably know better than most since I'm in the trenches here.

You don't have to tell me things are bad and need improvement. But I'm working with what I have. I'm trying to make it better. I'm literally doing that right now by having a conversation with you.

Our developers, whom I've met most, are all amazing, passionate and talented people. They're now close friends and people I generally have a good relationship with now. I love them.

Are they the most talented people on the planet and just mere hacks like you said? (I think they're talented and brilliant, but you may not.) I don't frankly care though. Why? Because they're the ones building and trying their best to make this all work. They're working together for a common good.

If I could help them in any way possible with their goals of building Nostr, I would, and I am.

What pubky needs is a professional representative who can communicate with the Nostr.

This guy is obviously highly intelligent but like Peter Todd, the pair of them are socially retarded and they just can't do it

What if I just think nostr design sucks and wanna explain why and how it should work instead?

I am not here to steal users, there are much better strategies for growth than coercing a cult.

What sucks about nostr's hex keypairs or npub/nsec format?

This is what needs to happen.

But to be clear, my intent is to find a way for us to work together. Division is dumb. We don't have enough users willing to leave legacy social media to do that.

Why not just implement pubky to increase nostr's censorship-resistance? It's an open protocol that is compatible with nostr. Why not just do it?
