Nostr Web Client

Honestly, I don't think there is much there to be argued. nostr:npub1hea99yd4xt5tjx8jmjvpfz2g5v7nurdqw7ydwst0ww6vw520prnq6fg9v2 provided his views on the repo as an issue. dochex who wrote the spec replied with some feedback.

The main points that can't be bridged are that emended security will favor low dependency and simplicity. On a more personal preference the hard typed parts and using QRs they way they were designed.

I don't want to speak for Craig, but I think his argument for it is more in terms of being pragmatic because it's already deployed. I also think desktop folks have more resource luxury.

There is no buy in from any major vendor aside from sparrow for that BC org, if they really wanted to be a big install base org those would be BIPs

I think the drama the cloners brought over this was more for attention than anything useful. After all these are just QRs, there is bigger fish to fry. A couple specs can even coexist.

The way I read nostr:npub1hea99yd4xt5tjx8jmjvpfz2g5v7nurdqw7ydwst0ww6vw520prnq6fg9v2’s feedback on Github is that the criticisms are more than pragmatic. He has a list of drawbacks. The lack of fountain encoding and well defined type structures (for example output descriptors) are the biggest gaps between UR and BBQr.

Many wallets like Blue Wallet, Nunchuck, and Green Wallet have adopted the BC UR standard. I don’t see what BBQr brings to the table for users of animated QRs. It doesn’t appear to solve anything for the end user over BC UR. What am I missing?

I’m not saying that BC UR is perfect. I could come up with a long list of things I wish were different about the BC UR standard.

Make a list of things you with BBQr would have on the issues and we can see if we can address them :)

Fwiw I don’t think any dependencies are required for BC UR if you limit the scope of data types. Not even CBOR is required if you just transmit txs and psbts.

Would like to see a clearer, technical explanation of why it’s so problematic to implement.
