status should be persistent to the note nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s

I currently disagree. There’s pros and cons. I was just lookin at an old note of the useful bot nostr:npub1cc79kn3phxc7c6mn45zynf4gtz0khkz59j4anew7dtj8fv50aqrqlth2hf and I saw that it’s status is currently up and running. Nice to get a current status on and old note in cases like this.

I want people to people able to gain my up to date info if they are looking at my old posts.

Another use case:

Can enable really interesting text based games using the current status as a player’s stats. 🤙

Some more thoughts:

Statuses are currently the only ephemeral communication method we have on nostr, and I really value that.

It might be very very valuable in ways we don’t all realize yet nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s

Yes this is the idea. its a live status associated with the profile. its an ephemeral thing thats not meant to stick around on notes. Curious what the usecase is for note persistence 🤔.

I don’t want the details of my current momentary status to be etched into the notes I might right there… Many thanks for these status options, love them, and the connections they allow and enhance in the moment are a real step… But please don’t make me live them beyond their moment. They will become a demonstration tool. And if my personal context is important for a note, I’ll include myself.

Context for what you were doing/playing when you wrote the note.

interesting… could make that an option

I think in option is great as long as we always keep the option to keep it like it is now. 🙏🤙

I’m also curious about its ephemeral nature. is it possible that relays could be logging our status in the background?

Are our statuses cryptographically signed the same way our notes are? I’m guessing they are not signed and think that may be a good thing that they’re not.

Thinking about people around the world, who might be under extreme circumstances where they need to be safe(er) to broadcast a note without it being forever associated with cryptographically.

Agree. My status at present is attached to my older posts…better for the context to inform the moment of the post.
