It's 2023 and clients still aren't putting relay hints in events.

what does this mean for non technical folks

Notes dont mention what relays they are posting to -> makes discovering relays still a tough task-> creating centralized relays -> nostr becomes easier to censor

thank you :)

Keep asking questions 🔥🔥

Thanks for the explanation. I’ve been very curious about this feature as well, but I didn’t know anything about its development.

I don't care.

sorry, you misunderstood my note. i was asking for clarification on what you were talking about. But i guess your response is also valid for any interpretation of my note.

If a note references another using a tag with a relay hint, make sure you try to fetch the event from the hinted relay. This helps solve the problem when you see a reply to a note, but can’t see the original note.

that makes sense, thank you :)

apologies for not knowing dev terminology, as i did not know it was prerequisite to joining the protocol.

It is, didn't you have to pass an exam before being assigned your private key?

i cheated with the help of clippy

he’d do anything for some cash after microsoft fired him :/

We’re revoking your Nsec.

nooooo, then i’ll actually have to pick up a hobby outside of annoying everyone on nostr :(

awww, don't worry Roya - its just abt what relays are on each notes sounding fancy. Fiatjaf might sound badass but a big softie who LOVESSS dogs. Just keep talking to him about dogs

fiatjaf is like a really cute fluffy feral cat.

soft, but spicy.

Look at this word "fluffy'.

the world is getting a better balance now that devs learn words out of their coding languages :)

i like you pam

<3 aww keep asking those questions

fluffy is a great word. not used often to it’s full potential.

thats how we grow nostr.

I think he meant it literally. It means "I don't care" because, if you're a non-technical person, you shouldn't really care about these protocol implementation details on your social network lol

but i do. just because i don’t understand technical language, doesn’t mean i don’t care what’s being implemented on the protocol.

everyone should care about what’s being changed or added on their “social network”, though nostr is the only place you can actually see everything that’s changed or implemented.

Agree with nostr:npub1csamkk8zu67zl9z4wkp90a462v53q775aqn5q6xzjdkxnkvcpd7srtz4x9

I Respect anyone who is taking an opportunity to deepen their technical knowledge. So many people wouldn’t even bother.

Roya, I have a tip. It doesn’t work, so great for Nostr, because of the training cut off date, but I ask chatGPT to explain technical concepts, or snippets of code all the time. And I ask it to keep explaining deeper and deeper or simpler or simpler, until I understand.

Maybe you already do this but I thought I would share.

Its ok i guess. Your super talented at showing your boobs for attention seeking.

you’re* :)

You're = you are 😀😀😀

Add spelling to the list too maybe!!

lolol welcome to nostr maxim. i’m glad i could be the subject of your first reply/note.

Clearly this person is not new to nostr, just wanted to hide behind a fresh alt and troll

#muted

i know. still a real person behind the screen, who deserves to say what they want to say. especially since they took all that effort and energy to say it. i’ll hear them out.

the best thing about freedom tech is the ability to acknowledge that trolling is someone’s release. it’s a good drug to some.

the bad also helps with introspection, so i want to know what angers people about me so much they can’t tell me without hiding. people want somewhere with complete freedom but are also scared of tits.

Love that 🔥 Personally though, i simply mute people who just wanna troll. Bad vibes can suck it

that picture is so nightmarish 😂

🤣🤣🤣

SIMP 😂😂

I get the feeling you are such a nice sensitive guy always looking to help a lady in distress. #Beggingforit

😂

Which clients actually use them ?

Chicken and egg problem, isn't it?

I thought about it and wrote this chicken scratch down a few days ago:

I would have it so the client is simply providing the platform (the TV). User has choice on relay (channel). Client has less duty on input/requesting, more on output/receiving. Better for the individual, as Indiv will more likely use client if it’s sending notes better to the relays

I think amethyst is the only one. I use a iPhone unfortunately so I have no clue.

I like the idea of clients automatically subscribing to the relays listed in the notes of the npubs they follow, I can see how this could allow for a more decentralized mesh of relays than there is now.

The problem is that it would be a clusterfuck of bandwidth usage if based on the NIP-01 protocol, but seems like it might be workable with client-relay adoption of strfry's #negentropy set reconciliation algorithm. Exciting times.

Hmm maybe. I will usually filter through the feed of who I follow first, then move over to the relays, to flip through like TV channels

NDK (Highlighter etc), Snort, Coracle, Gossip, ZBD Social, njump are somethat I know.

Stemstr

ZBD Social, you mean that client that won't let 99% of Nostr access it? 👀👀👀👀👀👀

Disco shit too.

😉

Why do you say that?

It's a special kind of client for ZBD users only: https://fiatjaf.com/d36862b9.html

I know about the client, but it's locked behind an invite spam wall.

Why is that so bad?

It's a model that I have begun to despise over the years. I don't want to whore myself out or my followers out to gain access to something. Just give me access. If it's good, the product will speak for itself.

Well, you don't have to whore yourself, you can just wait. Beta testing is good to help iron out some bugs, but I personally would never do anything like that. I would just wait or not pay attention and move on.

But I think you're probably not the target demographic for ZBD Social. Which should be a good sign, sign that Nostr can reach other kinds of people that aren't the technical/very-interested/early-adopter/freedom-focused type.

They too cool for us

Nozzle

What do you mean 2023? It was added to NIP 27 just 3 months ago.

I was just being dramatic.

Me too

relay hints are so important it should go to the top of the list of any client's roadmap

jesus, I misread the "aren't" for "are" and thought you were against relay hints for a split second

almost gave me a heart attack 😂

I would have told you first.

Has it ever not been 2023 in nostr?

That was the joke.

Just making sure everybody got it

Shit, was it today that we had to have recorded an episode of the TGFN show?

No, tomorrow

Will it be recorded live with questions from the audience?

No, we'll have a chance to edit, I haven't tried livestreaming yet. Unless you want to try it

Not sure if you're the same developer for nos2x. If so thanks for the fix to the revoke issue.
