New design elements on Damus are great.

And Coracle is looking better and better.

Onboarding people into nostr still has a ton of issues, but those are just iterations.

Once people grasp the ease of moving from one client to the next, and more importantly, from app to app, it’s hard to return to the legacy model.

But what wins all is the permissionless model. The more developers who cut their teeth on this, the better everything gets.

I’ll do everything I can to get people to look this way, play, and eventually build something that matters.

So, why blue sky?

Need many experiments. The best ideas will converge. I’m a believer in the power of algorithmic choice, an algo store so to speak.

I think an algorithm store where user's can decide on how they're served content would be pretty game changing.

It’s the current best path

nostr:note14wlfaacn3hcvaek8zkcl4nf9cux7txrkv7s7wkv7dx6ff9aln0esw25gea

The new custom feeds on Bluesky is very well done

algo won't matter if the source code of the ai language model is fucked. ✌🏻

Attention algorithms will be choosed by our Intentions events.

Aligning attention with intentions is key for a plentiful life.

Intentions events are unique to Nostr because of Nostr features.

Intention owners and publishers, including marketplaces, get zaps from Intentions providers to get their attention.

Intentions and Attention are 2 of the 5 protections provided by the digital fundamental right, presented at the Costa Rican Congress , 2004, Law project for Constitutional amendment #15890

The other 3 protections are Data, Existence (self sovereign identity) and off-line life.

Testaments are the oldest intentions registry. But intentions became more important with the Internet. Intentions made TV and newspapers obsolete...

The Internet economy is based on intentions. People exchange intentions for free services. For example, Google Maps extracts intentions but also your phone listening to your conversations extract intentions.

However, people's intentions have been used for the benefit of the intention provider's and not for the benefit of the people, the intention creators.

I founded in 2008 a successful start up protecting people's intentions, specifically, the intention of not selling or mortgaging your property. www.propiedadsegura.cr

I founded the start-up not just to protect people's intentions but also to show the importance of intentions. Since Costs Rican Congressman referenced me at the introductory text of the digital fundamental right, #15890, I was one of the 2 people invited to the CR Constitutional Amendment Commission to talk about the 5 protections, and the most difficult to understand is digital based intentions.

Intentions can be not just the fuel for the Nostr economy, but it is also the social (r)evolution of the XXI Century, not just because of monetizing intentions but also because aligning attention with intentions.

I met at Nostrica a with @treesap who started the very initial development of the Intention Registry, a free open source software to stimulate the development of the Nostr intention economy by setting up the GitHub and Barth is also interested to contribute and is looking for funding

nostr:npub1fzdvtqluxr8macqfthtndmzxg6864zcc0cc3lknzd8zwrq5ya5xq4yz4dv is also

Everyone is invited to join!, send DM or answer to this post.

Hey! I'm interested in this. Please send me the link/DM me.

This just my personal theory. But I was there when Republicans begged and pleaded for Elon to buy Twitter. They pledged their full support to him. They swore that he could fix Twitter because of them.

They all let him down per usual.

Now they’re all trying to get on Blue Sky and stalking jack here on nostr.

Yeah I said it.

But Elon will figure it out. And we will continue to support him.💜

https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/06/32663451/musk-agrees-with-dorsey-that-twitter-was-impossible-to-reform-but-doesnt-regret-paying-outrageously

With that said, this is also a great opportunity for Twitter to consider adopting nostr’s protocol.🐣💜

Honestly this is so shocking to me. I remember when this all went down. It was such a mess.

I’m sure Elon will find a suitable replacement soon.💜

https://twitter.com/krassenstein/status/1664426425527554048?s=20

LOL. I wonder if Elon feels like this some days dealing with Twitter.

But unlike Plankton he can’t push a button and go back.

Nor should he. New Twitter is just going to take some time as with most things worthwhile.🐣💜

This is already integrated it at a basic level in Bluesky. I’d love to see custom feeds come to Nostr, too.

This is definitelly coming 🔥

meh. it's just a language problem. twitter is not surmountable. whatever issues need to be resolved twitter will ultimately be the most nimble.

Very well said.🫂💜 Blue Sky has a giant two year lead on decentralized protocols. It would be so unfair to all the people who sacrificed years of their life to create Blue Sky.

The waiting list alone demonstrates how Blue Sky is addressing the immediate needs of what users want - for now.☁️🩵

What nostr has accomplished in a mere couple of months is unbelievable. I can’t even fathom what nostr will even look like two years from now.

We know what every other platform will look like two year from now - exactly the same but not nostr.

Nostr is the future.🧡🛠️💻🛰️🚀💜

Can I ask where I can get a Bluesky invitation? Thank you.

And Primal is sexy af

What am I doing wrong that I can post to Iris but not to Primal even when I look "signed in."

🙏🙏🫂🫂

One day at a time ⏰

Thank you for all that you've done, continue to do, and will do for Nostr. We all greatly appreciate it. 🫂

Just a kickstart

Maybe "we" can lobby for the Apollo team to come build on Nostr if Reddit destroys their business model?

I think the Apollo team is just Christian Selig

Correct. I sent him a DM.

Nice

And your avatar lines up so nicely 😂

#[5]​ and Team Plebstr could recruit them. 👍🏼

Hey nostr:npub1tsgw6pncspg4d5u778hk63s3pls70evs4czfsmx0fzap9xwt203qtkhtk4 write an email intended to persuade the Apollo development team to rebuild their application on Nostr because it's permissionless and their business model can't be invalidated overnight due to Nostr's decentralized nature. Mention how Nostr already has a couple Reddit clones, but they're both early stages and we could use more competition in this space.

Hi @3f770d65,

Thank you for your message. I understand that you are interested in persuading the Apollo development team to rebuild their application on Nostr.

Here is an email that you could send to the Apollo development team:

Dear Apollo Development Team,

I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to reach out to you to discuss the potential benefits of rebuilding your application on Nostr.

As you may know, Nostr is a decentralized social network that is permissionless and offers a level of security that traditional social networks cannot match. This means that your business model cannot be invalidated overnight due to Nostr's decentralized nature.

Furthermore, Nostr already has a couple of Reddit clones, but they are both in the early stages and we could use more competition in this space. By rebuilding your application on Nostr, you would be able to tap into a growing user base and potentially gain a competitive advantage in this space.

I would be happy to discuss this further with you and answer any questions that you may have. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Best regards,

[Your Name]

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

This right here! I suggested the same thing. Apollo is developed just by a single person and he’s done an amazing job.

A lot of people would follow anything he puts time into I believe.

#startsmall

now it's time to move along 😁. new project!

Aww. You’re so humble and modest. It’s so much more than that. You can throw money at anything and remain completely hands off.

Where you invest your time is the most valuable contribution hence nostrica and now nostrasia. 🇯🇵🌎🇭🇰

Time is more valuable than money.🫂💜

Long way to go, but exciting af 😉

Why is Coracle trying to sign so many events just for seemingly readonly usage?

To save user settings and last viewed timestamp for chats/dms

Maybe I should just store these on my own server

Problem with that is that either you click ok on the chrome extension all the time, or you just trust blindly what the site will post…

To me, the whole point of the extension is to control what’s happening with my keys… so I probably won’t set it to auto-sign, and I guess I’m not the only one.

Yep — I do, but then again I'm also the author of the app

still, that leaves traces on relays hinting about what you're doing...

DMs are a cancer.

Only the DM UI, users should have a way to communicate away from immediate public scrutiny.

👑

Jack is so bullshit!

When creating a new ‘account’, should be link to something like keeper or getliby and instructions of how/why storing with e2ee is important. How to secure your mnemonic phrase, npub, securely, without having to remember anything but a master pass to your password app.

thanks Jack always

🫂🤗🫶

🤗

help me with this, how can we monetize a free relay to be set in #Venezuela latency here super bad for real

Can you target your market to Venezuelans and offer something unique?

we will figure out something for sure. let see

I think it would be extremely helpful if clients & apps had an available list of things that play well together stashed in a menu, even if just some basic stuff. I understand playing favorites might be a bit of a contention point there, but as far as understanding functionality user side, I think it would provide much more of a net benefit. Hypothetical algo store is a great example of something that would fit well into such a feature, along with a plethora of other things.

I very much want to add this

That's great to hear... figured this would be a good thread for throwing the idea out there, even if it had been floated already. One could even specialize their app for business or social, specific-social like movie or music oriented, etc. Could be super useful for retention.

#[1]​ it’s a long shot but will you look at your DMs?

ありがとうディベロッパーのみんな❗️💜 ありがとう 🎉 #[1]

Yes Damus is better in design and very beautiful and also Snort and Amethyst as well everyone is working on developing

We owe you Mr. Jack for adopting you as a Nostr, which will be the perfect form of social media platforms

why arent well known tech reviewers, youtubers talking about/joining nostr?

sorry, i'm a twitterchick. come back with me. up front. or - whatever.

Reminds me of myspace but better hahaha

Nice I'm really enjoying nostr. Elon sucks compared to you humanwise for sure 🤙

jack isn’t the nostr ceo… #[4]​ is.

@0f1b5961: Interesting, can you tell me more about #[4] and their role as the CEO of Nostr? What are some of their goals for the platform?

Thanks Jack. you are the reason I am here and I love it.

I still can't figure out how to actually post to Primal even when I'm "signed in" over Alby. I can see my profile, see my posts from Iris....but can't post, like, repost directly to Primal. 😩

Should reach out the Dev at Apollo, the new Reddit API changes are making it very hard to keep the app alive when they will be charging such high fees for API request.

He has a huge following and many want to follow where he goes. Could be a great vector for getting a new community.

#shotinthedark

What’s his contact?

@ChristianSelig on Twitter

His email is me@christianselig.com

He posted it on reddit for folks wanting to contact him to talk so it’s probably best to reach out there.

https://www.reddit.com/r/apolloapp/comments/13ws4w3/had_a_call_with_reddit_to_discuss_pricing_bad/jmdxcua/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=1&utm_term=1&context=3

Looks like you got most the contact info already. He is also very active on Reddit, linked is profile below.

I’ll be very curious, the Reddit API changes seem to be a shock and a lot of people are ditching Reddit if their third party apps can’t be used.

LFG. I just love how the possibilities for growth at nostr are seemingly endless and can rise up from out of nowhere. It’s wild. Fingers crossed. 🔥🧨💥🚀🌎🫂💜

Agreed, I never thought my note would gain any traction. Now I am more excited than I thought.

Hi Evan. I’m excited too!!💜

rabbit rabbit ☀️🤙🏻

no no - i found him.

#[3]​ can you send the prospective new devs to nostr dev kit office hours scheduled for tomorrow

nostr:note1yyjjf39y8edhvlsxu23wch45wveuf747w405pxnvyvkutncttd2qrtkv3v

#ndk

Be curious if there was an update or if you were able to get any contact. Thanks for all you are doing.

#[1]​ What inspires you to keep moving forward?

This is awesome to hear from anyone but even more so from a person in your role with your history.

I hope you keep a journal and release a memoir down the road.

The Forbes article was a great insight as well into Nostr with Will and Fiatjaf taking center stage. Huge kudos to nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s for being a beast at the backend. Zaps are revolutionary. ⚡️

I'll have to get an iPhone just for Damus. Lol.

Nothing prides me more than being a part of spreading cypherpunk ideas, and to keep fanning the flame of decentralization, open protocols and freedom.

I strive in my classroom and in the seminars I lead to always focus the learning at the first principles and to encourage critical thinking. Keep open minds and hearts.

Kudos. We're all a part of something special. 🤙⚡️

Oh, and Square's payment service is 🤙 too. Just got onto it.

Agree

I'm thinking about creating an onboarding platform. 🫂⚡💜

Pura vida 🤙

We're lucky to have you in this space fighting the good fight 🙌

Well I'm here and in the convos now!

What else is new?

🫂💜 It's great to see you back on Twitter promoting #Nostr . Without your dedication, Nostr could not have grown so fast. Your influence, money and time are unparalleled. Thank you for your great dedication, jack. You let us not only see hope, but also let us feel the warmth of the sun of freedom.

If Nostr fails, and I mean if, what does that mean for you? Why do you contribute so much to Nostr?

This is so amazing & beautifully written. It comes directly from your heart.🫂🦁❤️

Cultural lag is a small price for nostr to pay for pioneering the future of global commerce and communication.🛰️💳🌎

I hope decentralization becomes the standard in every economic sector.🧡🩷💚🩵💜

Play is good. Play works.

🤙

Love it. Great job, devs. 👏🏼

I had zero issues with Damus. Worked great!

You’re aware of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, yes?

You are literally the deaf guiding the blind.

I have little opinion on Jack one way or the other though I believe he is sincere. And he saw Twitter early on.

But I'm curious if you'd expand on this?

💋

Damus allowed me to start using nostr without knowing exactly how it works. +1

What about bluesky? When is it going mainstream. I am yet to get a pass code despite several attempts.

Check your DM

👊🏼🤙

Thank you 🫂

nostr tshirt next superbowl ✌

The fact that there are different apps to access nostr made it difficult for me (not having the underlying context of how it works led me to believe I was signing up for different services).

This also rises privacy questions given that I have to download apps from developers I haven't researched enough about. This will can be a huge roadblock for mainstream users; for now it's targeted to tech enthusiasts.

Agreed! =)

Yessir! I made this video to onboard more people, feel free to share: https://m.primal.net/HnUB.mp4
