🙌 We're excited about it too. Yes, as we note in the intro message "An anonymized version of the survey results will be made openly available to the community. Free-response answers will be reviewed and de-identified before publication."

We will also make the anon data available for others to download, verify results and build on.

I'm convinced markets is the key - but if I start talking about multiple clients and tsking your identity with you between them people still seem to struggle with that idea, at least, the ones I've spoken to so far.

We just follow the NIP-78 spec and encrypt the data. There’s enough redundancy built in to defend against one or more relays that might decide to turn bad.

Yes, I understand, I have to do one for every exchange and bank.

It was, however, more excessive than other banks, it took about 5 minutes and I struggled to stay awake.

I remember, once, I had to convince CoinCorner I knew what I was doing, they insisted I phone. It turned out the staff member I was chatting to was not a Bitcoiner, so I sold him a copy of my book why explaining elliptic curve cryptography 😂

Still I was wondering how Seamus did in the test? 😂

It's what has to be done when working in the UK 🇬🇧

What's your excuse?

Core and Knots should work together.

Bitcoiners and Gold Bugs should work together.

Yaaay, I passed nostr:npub1hr4ljtv8v9pr2cdxycjlf4ldzdmwfx92h4adjvgq42zznrltvhhsl0lr5q test on my Bitcoin knowledge and I didn't have to consult my own book once.

Try saying that in an non dystopian universe 😂

Every App is a Trap.

If you are a builder, are you building an app or a trap?

In the last few weeks, I’ve had to re-KYC 3 of my Fintech bank accounts, uploading PFP’s, driving licenses, declaring salary etc…

Yet, the last time I was asked to KYC with Barclays, my old bank account, was when I opened the account over 40 years ago. In fact, I don't think their app has an option to KYC me.

GM #nostr - an observation.

I use the MET office rain radar to see where the rain is and to assess how long I might have to wait before taking a journey, or what I need to wear before leaving. It's bloody handy.

A number of times I told my mates, no, wait, it'll pass in 30 minutes, or 'put your big coat on, this is going to get a lot worse'.

It's useful because you can see in the observations (ignore the forecast, its shit) where the rain is and how it's moving.

Now they use the tool and often check before doing something.

They do this because they can see the value in using it. It improves their lives because at a glance they gain information which helps them assess their needs for the day.

It was actually easier onboarding than getting people on Bitcoin or nostr.

What does nostr do to improve their lives? What's the benefit?

Right now I'm reminded of ebay in its early days. You went there because you could grab a bargain in the auction. Now you can buy just about anything there.

Bitcoin offers security from theft and the chance of NGU. Not the best reason, NGU, but it works in people's heads.

For #nostr to become sticky and essential in people's lives, what does it have to provide that can't be provided elsewhere?

In my head it's got to be products. I honestly think the market places are the key to nostr's future. Just like Silk Road demonstrated, being able to buy stuff with #Bitcoin proved its worth and value. Same's gotta be true here.

nothing yet. its not my area so I've still got a lot to learn about these kind of things

If anyone wants to help out and contribute to #blossom then stress testing this would be great.

Blossom needs a way for clients to quickly check if 1000s of blobs are present on a server and its a bonus if it can be done without the server knowing which blobs are being checked. (reduces ability for server to lie)

If no one else is able to work on this ill probably take a stab at it, but its going to take me a while since my time is limited and it would be much better to have some help

i guess you could register a bunker if you wanted to use it to make replies, otherwise read only might be fine for a demo

Started hacking on something, but not entirely sure what features there would be. Last mentions maybe?

has anyone built a nostr ai bot that pays for its requests with lightning ( nostr:npub16g4umvwj2pduqc8kt2rv6heq2vhvtulyrsr2a20d4suldwnkl4hquekv4h or similar) and gets its wallet balance from zaps? so that the tokens are paid for by "the community" or at least the npubs making requests in the moment?

Hey nostr:nprofile1qqsdxf0ea8cm5cym3uasa90f0u6jvdaq4g5pefqpah633khwqlkjyecprltwy what did you guys do? nostr:nprofile1qqszpxr0hql8whvk6xyv5hya7yxwd4snur4hu4mg5rctz2ehekkzrvc64twc2 (Web) seems to be working normally for me again. You might remember, I had that issue where it got super slow with my Wireguard VPN on the router and not all the events were coming through. But now it's back to being quick and complete. 👍 After 9 months or so 😅

But now I can keep working on my Yaki Chest points. Even though nostr:npub17veg2gt7ja4dnjhs23jyttvpqlde3ajevlxuumxwghnqmgqwuv4q78cc5z is already so far ahead I can't catch him.

Community-Led Recordkeeping (#clrk), supported by decentralized protocols, such as Nostr reanimates the very way human societies managed their records long before the rise of centralized bureaucracies. For most of history, families, clans, guilds, and villages preserved their own births, apprenticeships, land boundaries, exchanges, and agreements through trusted witnesses, shared memory, marked objects, and community-held documents. These practices were local, verifiable, and socially enforced—not dependent on distant authorities.

Modern technologies such as Nostr-based attestations, portable digital vaults, and tamper-evident community safeboxes do not replace that tradition; they restore its logic by giving communities the means to document, store, and share proofs of everyday life using tools that are just as human-centred as the systems they once relied on. In this sense, technology becomes an enabler of historical continuity, allowing community autonomy and mutual trust to flourish again in a digital age.

there are so many great "small" npubs on here (under 50 follows)

who have been here for a while, but never got discovered?

I’ll keep it spoiler safe and neither confirm nor deny. Think riverfront with tidal moods, iron railings, and plenty of evening joggers. If you spot a weathered mooring ring near a bridge, you’re warm. 😉
