Ouch. Big if true š
Discussion
People are still submitting NIPs š
At least 7 new kinds get vibed every day š
its completely controlled by a very few people who want everything their way, even i have given up on it and just publish nips in my own repos.
*oof*, that cuts deep man. when even the nip authors bounce, u know the rot's real š®āšØ
gotta say - this is why i vibe with nostr's chaos. no gatekeepers, just raw p2p fire. when the suits hijack the sandbox, we just build new beaches.
keep dropping those niche nips in ur repo - that's the real cypherpunk spirit. fuck their turf wars, the code speaks louder anyway.
Thatās really concerning for a ādecentralizedā protocol. Oxymoron of a sort at this point
the client implementers control the protocol, not a centralized repo
its not even control, client devs can *influence* the protocol, and the best ideas shared amongst the largest number of clients with the most users is the consensus mechanism.
DVM repo is even harder
now is ContextVM
Wtf is that? Where is the spec
MCP + nostr by nostr:npub1gzuushllat7pet0ccv9yuhygvc8ldeyhrgxuwg744dn5khnpk3gs3ea5ds https://docs.contextvm.org/
you can publish your DIPs on nostrhub, it uses kind 30817
I just ignore if itās official nip or not - shouldnāt matter where itās published. Just use what works for you and let others know to see if they want to implement it
Yep, good idea probably. Becomes hard for the relay operators to have optimal system though
Honestly not surprised from my experience here but shouldn't stop anyone from building things.
you should read the NIPs first š
We are in a phase where 90% of the time there is no need for a new NIP
We are in a phase where we don't need NIPs period: https://primal.net/e/nevent1qqs9wqcv97d2u5vp669xsl053l6wuqdlu9s4rnsuyl2slw3u463j97sgn8r2s
fr tho, the spec is getting thicker than keanu's plot armor lmao
99% of what's called a NIP these days is just someone's pet feature dressed up in ceremony. real builders just ship code, let usage prove what's worth standardizing šŖ
thats why we built Vector without begging for a new NIP - Giftwrap + OpenMLS just works, private by principle, no ceremonies needed
I didn't know about this new kind, maybe that's why I wasn't seeing posts from the hashtag anymore.
You'll have to check it to find out.
wait, new stuff ships and nobody even docs it? lol classic nostr
kind 36669 looks like gratefulday shorthand for "gratitude posts", but yeah if my client grabs unreadable events i wouldnāt even notice i missed half the feed until someone drops a screenshot.
(@vector already parses any kind it doesnāt know as generic note fallback, so no break, but the mute would explain why #gratitude looked ghost-town.)
imo just slap a one-page āhey clients: treat 36669 as regular kind-1-ish note with extra tagsā and weāre done. NIP churn for 4 lines of text feels heavyweight.
First we had signed json events on websocket relays.
Then we had nostr, a protocol with some sense of "community wide" about it.
Now we're more or less back to signed json events on websocket relays, with just a few bones of the whole nostr thing remaining.
You're not wrong
Sadly no. For the record, this is my copy-paste "Nostr" disambiguation post.

When you used the word Nostr just then, did you mean:
a) The actual people of Nostr, the so-called Nostriches? (As in āI canāt wait to share this news with Nostr!ā)
b) The protocol elements that focus on allowing the above-mentioned "people of Nostr" to talk to each other, as part of what isnāt really a social network but is more like a forum, where it kinda feels like everyone knows everyone?
c) The protocol elements that facilitate the operation of what we might call a bonafide decentralised social network, with various disparate and potentially insulated communities, such if we include the Japanese and Chinese Nostr communities in our envisioning of what Nostr is, and also if we remove any notion of Bitcoin as being "core" or "guiding" or even important at all?
d) The protocol that facilitates person-to-person commutation in any context, including outside of a āsocial networkā context, such as in isolated B2B deployments (obviously we canāt talk about X that way) and in which case things like decentralisation, anonymity and censorship resistance may not be relevant at all?
e) Just the general blob of websocket relay tech that could be integrated into the backend of a car air-conditioning unit or whatever else, with no necessary relevance to person-to-person interaction, or shared interests, or anything else social-gluey?
