Nostr Web Client

Which npub is yours? You verified a different one Twitter back in December because you said there was another Pete Rizzo on Nostr 🤔

Same boat. I didn’t tag him on my post about his account because I cross referenced the npubs he’s verified and saw he hadn’t posted in 4 months. I’m all for verification regardless, but after his Twitter got taken, this is even more sketchy for a new Nostr account to show up.

Very sketchy. And if you look at this one saying his Twitter is hacked, it’s been around at least 5 months, so it makes me think this one could have been the reason he tweeted that in the first place.

Great point. Until I have hard verification, I’m safely assuming this is not Pete.

-b.tc NIP-05 (it’s already set up, would just have to whitelist the npub, not hard)

-Picture with npub written out like the old Reddit days and #[5] did

-npub cross reference from a separate account he’s associated with like BM (this one is a stretch as far as ability as well as actual verification, but I def think it’s warranted in doing considering he’s [the scammer, not pete] posing a threat.)

It’s possible and easy to do.

💯

Maybe someone from #[4] can verify?

Ask him for his mother’s maiden name 😆

lol 🤷‍♂️

Who fucking even knows at this point. It’s already clear I can’t use this app

You seem to be using it fine. Posting pics. Replying. Just need to know if you’re the real Pete Rizzo. Maybe you could ask one of your Bitcoin Magazine colleagues on here to share that this is your npub?

Good fucking god

Lol why is it upsetting to you that people might want to verify that you are actually who you claim to be when there is a documented history of another account pretending to be Pete Rizzo and he never verified this account as his?

I bet it’s both him but he lost his first key

He tweeted this back in December

You can't simply trust dates on nostr posts as they can be backdated.

Maybe if tied to OTS at the time or took a personal screenshot but otherwise someone can spin up an account and create posts that seem old and push out to relays.

Sir this app barely loads. When it does it takes 5 minutes for me to see any information

I honestly have no fucking idea which is why I don’t use it

What client are you using? You have 42 relays, and you are surprised it is crashing? 😆

I don’t even know how many relays I have. I am someone who is trying to use an app

How would I even know that information good god

Interestingly this reply is suddenly from the other npub, the one you actually did tweet out in December 😂

I’m so lost

Lol same. I was just about to tag you 😂

Laughing at someone for not comprehending the UX clusterfuck that is relays is not how you #grownostr.

Yeah honestly I have no idea. there’s a box that says I should add some, nothing auto populates

I mean this Damus app is pretty good otherwise

Go through and remove all of your relays except the Damus one, then re-add the defaults, which is only like half a dozen or so.

Should make a HUGE difference in performance and load time.

Knowing which relays and how many is probably one of Nostr’s biggest UX hurdles so far that it hasn’t yet overcome.

It’s an easy fix if you add some for the user and then slowly educate them. We know what needs to be done.

Having them visible to the user at all makes the UX too alienating to nearly all non-techie potential users. It should be something almost entirely handled in the background, as any potential to get it wrong without understanding it will worsen your experience.

The average human should not need to be educated about how nostr works for it to be appealing and useful, or it won’t succeed.

HoloKat 2y ago

Yes and no. I do agree that things must “just work” but I don’t fully agree that they shouldn’t be educated on how nostr works. Plenty of technology has a learning curve. iPhone, email, hell… video chat for many people. There’s nothing wrong with having the users learn a few things about the platform they use, people are not that stupid. But yes, things should just work the moment you land. Showing relays in settings is not an issue IMO as long as you explain how they work (but the user is not required to make any changes for things to work).
