I thought Bitcoiners in general understood Nostr already, but I was miserably wrong: https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-dev/2023-November/022141.html
At least Andrew Chow recognizes he didn't look much into it and is clearly speaking from first impressions gotten from microblogging clients.
Just recreate the bitcointalk forums UI with a nostr backend. :-) make those note kinds specific to that platform, so they don’t spam other clients with kind1 notes.
If they’re willing put in the work to moderate spam for their mailing list, why couldn’t they do the same for a relay dedicated to these bitcoin talk forum posts? 🤔
Yes, right? But I think he just doesn't know.
Major core devs could list on their profile which “bitcointalkforum relays” they trust to moderate and filter spam.
Downloading forum posts from multiple spam-filtering relays seems smarter than only downloading from one relay/only relying on the Linux foundation to do it. Trusted third parties either way; why not reduce the central points of failure? 🤷♂️
I agree. That's the way to do it.
Was chatting with my friend earlier today about how having an email is the atomic unit of the Internet. That’s where you begin, so you can sign into anything else.
With #Nostr, your key & social identity is the atomic unit… so you can sign into everything else with it.
The guys on the mailing list are upset about not wanting to change away from email, but I think this future is much more promising… it’s an entire change in philosophy they just don’t understand yet.
Once note searching and more advanced relays emerge, it’d be wise to create a good bitcointalk forum whether they support it or not.
