I’m not a dev! Please spread to actual devs. Thank you tho
You got it. Also if there is any other Bitcoin devs I am missing I need to drop a final list before the zapathon tomorrow
weren't you playing with rust a while ago?
Yes and still do and still program. But I have nothing to show for it re nostr. Yet. For now I’m here to support.
Yet 👀
Who’s making Jack an honorary dev badge?
Was just about to ask for a list thanks!
I’ll drop final list tomorrow. This is the hardest angle of planning this. Getting all the devs / npubs and not leaving out any.
Nostr devs / Bitcoin devs
wtf, luke is here? didn't know that
Let me know if I missed target. Final list posted tomorrow will be ground zero for zapathon
lol, I did know that and was following him already
I guess he doesn't use it (yet)
He was and then #[12]took away BitcoinHackers and now ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
the effects of BitcoinHackers vs BRB.io going down can't illustrate the contrast between the two protocols any clearer
#[13]'s Rugging as a Service ✅
It more illustrates that NVK is not trustworthy. It's by design and well-known that Mastodon instances have a level of trust involved, and that's fine as long as your host doesn't violate that trust.
But isn’t that true for all kinds of trust? All trust is fine if it is not violated. That is precisely the problem with trust in general: That depends on someone.
But isn’t that a pretty shitty protocol then and something that should be superseded?
Sure. There's no perfect protocol right now. All of them have serious tradeoffs/flaws.
The last thing Nostr wants to be is perfect
Perfect is the enemy of fun.
Nostr is perfectly imperfect.
And that is why it's so special. We have so much room for growth that any time the tiniest bit of iteration or improvement happens, it's like waves in a small pool.
Perfection is a weapon used to stifle the growth of grass roots movements. To be imperfect is to be human. To be human is to desire to connect, free from manipulation, warts and all.
Every day I'm amazed how such an under-engineered protocol can work so well in practice and just keeps getting better 🤯
The extensibility and scriptability (you can sign a message with a key? => you can post!) makes it even more exciting!
It's a far more battle tested one, and has at least one if not two orders of magnitude better adoption. Nostr absolutely has advantages over it, but I'm not at all convinced it's the right tech. More importantly, technical superiority has essentially zero to do with success in this space.
There are far, far technically better systems than nostr that have failed to take off for years if not decades. Adoption and network effects are all that matter, and if it wasn't for the bitcoin community adoption nostr would already be DoA.
Luke those are some strong words, it’s not my responsibility to host your data. It was and always been best efforts and no warranties. Calling be names is not cool, GFY.
Accidental loss is one thing. Intentional violation of trust is another.
Dude, my server, I didn’t want to run it anymore. Gave ppl time to move on. Closed it down.
I don’t get it. You must be just trolling me at this point. 🤷♂️
Very strange to bash someone who volunteered resources at their own expense and decided to sunset things WITH notice.
There was no notice
To be fair. There was notice I saw. Both here and twitter by #[14]
Some of those posts were mirrored from BH to twitter. Many not, I didn’t want to spam twitter too much.
It was definitely here. Don’t know about Twitter.
@inversebrah
No, you didn't give us time to move on. There was no notice of the close down.
You did say you might do it in the future, and I was exploring my options to move in case you decided to do so, but since I had zero notice, you deprived me of the ability to do so.
Nah, not gonna blame all nostr for NVK's rugpull, despite the sentiment I tried to express to him on how bad it was.
The bigger issue for me is the practical overhead. The machine I'm using for this right now only has 6 GB RAM (even before the hack, I didn't expose my main workstation to web stuff).
Don’t forget #[13]

Prepare your sat ammo and calibrate zap thumb👍⚡✅

Guidelines (optional)
1. Target Dev Wallets (Preferred) - pick a Dev, zap a Dev. (Optional to zap yourself, a friend, or whoever)
2. 30 minute official duration (60 minute optional) - Zap As Much as You Can - Goal is to outpace Part 2 (The following 30 minutes is optional)
3. You do not need to use Wallet of Satoshi however it is preferred for official WoS statistics.
4. Set defaults to any amount you would like. The goal is to have enough sats to finish the Zapathon. Don’t break the bank. Use 1, 10, 100, 1000, etc Sats if you would like.
5. Have Fun - this is most important of them all.
Reason for Dev Target
Zapping Devs will help fund the Nostr Protocol Development. Choose the developer of your choice or default to your own client developer.
Oh whew. Thought it was tonight. Wasn’t loaded back up yet 😅
Next two days same time same place
⚡➡️🔥⚡⚡⚡

at this rate I’m really gonna need another zapaholics anonymous meeting #[2], #[3], & #[4].
Oh shit…just screwed up the anonymous part.
oh good this was days ago…
When is zapathon 5
What do you mean ‘another’ you never joined in the 1st one 🤣
