fun thing i setup on a few damus nodes:

Local network only accounts. They only have multicast on for delivering messages without a relay and soon a home-wide relay for store and forwarding.

This enables a social network for the home, so my son can share things without access to the wider network.

It would be even cooler if it discovered the network relay automatically… shouldn’t be too hard to do that.

How do I parse your multicast?

if you this we should start specing it

We do via broadcasting like Pokey does, so we could add this as well. I will check it out.

it's very simple right now, just broadcasting and receiving notes. decided to hold off from the complexities for requesting and sending queries. but that would be a true p2p setup.

the dream would be negentropy syncing between nodes

a much simpler solution is creating a http endpoint that exposes the relay's internal event primary keys (serial numbers) and then syncing is just keeping a count of the last newest event serial they have already got. et voila.

i got the idea from nostr:npub12262qa4uhw7u8gdwlgmntqtv7aye8vdcmvszkqwgs0zchel6mz7s6cgrkj (bless him) and it's something i will be adding back to my relay in the near future but any relay dev can easily implement this shit. it's retardedly simpler than negentropy.

ok ok ok i'll add back the http api. you twisted my arm :)

Fun projects!

This is great. Other implications for it within the corporate/org world too

exactly. that's the plan

That is very useful if you can tie it into LoRa modules for extended low bandwidth/power distance transmission with the normal encryption (which may technically be illegal but IDGAF at this point, as the feds can SUCK IT).

Noticed yesterday that I can’t listen to Spotify and scroll on Damus. When I scroll to a picture the music stops everytime. Is this a Damus thing or just a setting on my phone?

fuck yeah, I'd love for my kiddo to try it out eventually too

That’s really creative to build family network where only parents have access to wider network .

ya its super flexible like that!
