Good evening, Nostriches.
We have printed the entire KJV of the Bible, as individual books separated by chapter, using the new NIP-62 structure. We have made a first pass at gathering them into nested index events. This is the first "Five Books of Moses", also referred to as the "Pentateuch" or the "Torah".

And then we will break the entire thing down, further, into a new version, separated into individual verses. Of which there are over 30k.
Discussion
I don't understand the project. Generically, it seems like they want to put the King James Bible on a nostr relay that they self-host. I don't see a problem with putting stuff on your own relay, though I do wish they used a *complete* 73-book bible like the Douay Rheims instead of the KJV, which, in most editions since the 1800s, only includes 66 books of the bible.
Excellent point thank you
What about the NIV?
For the Biblestr implementation, we will be printing additional editions. For Alexandria-Gutenberg we're just have the two translations: KJV and DRV.
once the protocol is built, you can do all the things tho
Speaking of which, get a chance to work on the 30040s on realy?
I'm working on the HTML parsing for the Project Gutenberg scraper.
i'm focusing
perhaps you can write a simple thing that verifies that a relay stored and retrieves such an event? i don't need much breadcrumbs to get it
i'm refactoring the whole database btw... so i can more easily put it into my code, the problem i ran into this morning was i was using closures inside functions that were maknig locks and i didn't really need that to be there, or more exactly, it stopped me from calling functions within functions, because of the locks
Just use the Nostrudel event console for 30040. Put your relay in the top field.
what does the bible on nostr actually look like to the end user?
I don't understand the question.
Is it a bot that posts verses or some app that displays the bible using the books stored on nostr
It's the entire Bible, contained in events, split up into chapter-sections. We will also have a version of both translations, split by verse.
How do you interact with it?
Just need the Alexandria web client or (soon) Chachi, and then you can read it.
If you go to https://next-alexandria.gitcitadel.eu then you can see which publications (books and research papers and test documents) we've already published. These are just test documents, as we're still in beta and fixing formatting of the stylesheets and etc., but we're steadily adding more publications and we'll have more-polished versions of the same items available, after release.
We've printed the King James Bible, the Douay-Rheims Bible, and some classics like Jane Eyre. I'm currently printing Mark Twain's "Joan of Arc", for nostr:nprofile1qqs82et8gqsfjcx8fl3h8e55879zr2ufdzyas6gjw6nqlp42m0y0j2sprdmhxue69uhhg6r9vehhyetnwshxummnw3erztnrdakj7km53ux, so I'll announce that, soon.
Awesome!
Here is the DRV of Genesis, for instance.
And here is the KJV
(You might have to reload the page, to see all of the chapters, as our relays are getting hammered, today. That's why we now added two more relay providers.)
It's gigantic, Daniel. I had to give up publishing it over the Internet, broke it up into two volumes, and switched it to my local relay. 😂
I'll add an index on top, linking the two volumes and see if #Alexandria throws up.
Very cool project. Looking forward to the results!
#alexandria has a similar auspicious vibe when the monks in the early to Middle Ages preserved knowledge using the latest tech - parchment, ink and the alphabet. Now it’s signed events, relays and clients.
Alexandria did fine, but my relays are just not on top of things, today. Driving me nuts.
Do you search for verses with your nostr client?
You didn't even look at the website.
We printed the DRV, first. And, no that isn't the project. That's performance test data for the project.
bUt ChRiStIaNs DoN't UsE lOgIc 🤮
true, I did not look at the website. I now understand your proposal better thanks to the post by nostr:npub1q6ya7kz84rfnw6yjmg5kyttuplwpauv43a9ug3cajztx4g0v48eqhtt3sh and I think it's a cool idea. Good luck!
The fact that we are publishing documents as nostr events. Every level has an event that you can then link. Think about that level of interoperability want to quote something from a research paper? Copy the event tag. And paste it into your note. That becomes a zapable link, supporting the publisher. The relay architecture and upload clients will let you read publications offline. You'll be able to remix and annotate publications. There will be a working standard for this, tested and built to actual standards on a full stack optimized for speed and reliability even on less than ideal networks.
It's not just a pet project. This is what the revolution will look like
that is a very cool idea, good luck!
