npub10td4yrp6cl9kmjp9x5yd7r8pm96a5j07lk5mtj2kw39qf8frpt8qm9x2wl seems when you create a new nip17 group and add someone who exists in an old nip17 group with you it just renames the old group instead of creating a new one.
Discussion
That’s how a NIP-17 group works — the group ID is generated based on the list of group members.
Got it! What if one group contains the same members as another group plus one or two more?
It would be a new group
Thanks. Im also having an issue with nip29 groups, testing with three phones, when I send a message on one phone it doesn’t show on the other two unless I back arrow out of the group then jump back in, and then it’s there
Looks like it’s a subscription issue, I’ll check it out later.
Great. Another one is when I invite someone to a nip29 closed group, they get the invitation then they tap on it then it says request to join group, they enter the reason, and then it says duplicate already a member and no way to enter.
How about trying to go back and re-enter the group?
If exiting out and then going back to the invite message and then back in again, it will let the new person in, but it will show as a group with only the new person. And then on the device of the person that created the group it will show the group with both people. Same group ID. And messages don’t sync.
Just restarted the server — seems to be working fine now.
Great I'll give it a try now.
Works better but still hit and miss. I have 3 phones, all in the same NIP29 group.
If I post a message on Phone A, it appears on Phones A, B and C.
If I post a message on Phone B, it appears only on Phone B and Phone C
If I post a message on Phone C, it also appears only on Phone B and Phone C
If on Phone A I back-arrow out and then go back in, I then see the messages posted by Phones B and C.
Try force-quitting the PhoneA app and reopening it to check whether it receives messages from other group members
Did the force quite on phone A, same situation.
After that force quite on B and C, same situation.
*quit
thanks for the update, i will look into it further
I tried it again creating groups with different phones. No matter which of the 3 phones I create the group with, seems it's always Phone A that can create messages that can be seen by all in real time. Phones B and C can create messages that can be seen in realtime by each other, but miss Phone A. Feels like glitch is keypair related. A and B are iOS, C is android.
Also tried the communities.nos relay, same issue w same phones, so must be client side I'm guessing.
That’s strange, maybe Phone A has joined too many groups and failed to subscribe to the group messages properly? 🤔
Just a few test groups. I'll try creating a new account on Phone A and see what happens.
Thanks! I’ll also run some tests to see if I can reproduce the issue.
Creating a new 0xchat account on Phone A worked. The old 0xchat account on Phone A still doesn't work.
What do you think is the limit for groups joined where it stops subscribing to more? Or what else might it be?
I have at least 10 nip-29 groups that say I joined but don't let me type.
Still a poop nip imo.
The lolz of this nip having a subject tag, and there not using it as the differentiating ID 🙃
