How many months until twitter becomes a nostr client? nostr:note1pf5lnsf0uz5na92xl3ds5n3zj9tm6pxecde4cg5j8hfhvy7wul7qlwc34d

There is a bounty out for encrypted DMs (i.e: Don’t leak who you are privately communicating with).

It would be 🔥 if simplex was somehow integrated as the private DM NIP.

We started testing with Damus team. It works. There are less features.

I don’t have a phone number tied to all my messages, and this data therefore does not exist and is not mined/sold (as far as I understand).

The question is how important is FOSS and the above to you? Important enough to use, or important enough to convert your friends and family 🙂?

https://simplex.chat/ is FOSS, does not require phone number, does not require a central identity

Yes, assume that if you are not using a paid or backup private relay and you want to keep the info, you will lose it.

Assume that if you want to lose info, you will not be able to delete it if public.

🤝

One of my favorite things about Damus is the constant stream of pro user feedback. This keeps things fun, and me sane(r).

Which relays are you using? What are their storage policies, and promises?

Grateful for the opportunity to contribute to freedom tech.

Grateful to be appreciated by, and show nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s github can be useful in some cases.

Grateful to make nostr friends, in the meat space.

Grateful to enable the builders.

Hmm I don’t have issues with the described situation. Can readily delete first of two photos. I am on iOS 16 - maybe this is another iOS 17 bug.

iOS version?

You have a few duplicate relays in your relay list. Try pruning the duplicates.

Have you logged in to other clients with your keys?

Suspect it’s a iOS 17 beta issue. Dev team is investigating.

If 🇧🇹 🇮🇩 🇨🇷 🇸🇻 can do it, why not

There is a 100k sats bounty for this feature request. You could:

1) code it yourself

2) find a dev to code it

3) increase the bounty until someone picks it up.

There are other improvements to be made, which improve the experience for all or majority of Damus users.

Thanks for the suggestion nostr:npub16jknkmh2luflurx2epkj99qyj7v2ut3ew7t2mfd7xxt9jtjku2nsj2gqp0 !

Reaching billions of people on android is tempting.

Damus resources are currently limited to one full time dev and part time contributors. It is a lot of work to build and maintain one platform.

Are you willing to contribute dev hours to an android version, or contribute sats to the damus dev fund?

Majority in favor of deferring eur membership admission(ranges Ive seen are 60-80% in favor of deferring).

Decision to join was taken without referendum. It is suggested that the current administration has undertaken anti-constitutional action by not implementing the referendum in the next elections.

Thanks, added enhancement request.

For now workaround is editing the banner outside of Damus in e.g. figma or any simple image cropping tool prior to uploading.

Happy Friday all!!!

A short nostr.build update.

Although you haven’t seen many new features in the last few months, I assure you we are working like crazy to take nostr.build to the next level.

✅ - The first step was to get infrastructure up to par so we could scale. This has been complete for over a month with dual load balancing servers putting content on the s3.

✅ - Next step was to optimize media so data-out wasn’t so expensive. This is also complete now using imgpeoxy on our production servers. nostr:npub137c5pd8gmhhe0njtsgwjgunc5xjr2vmzvglkgqs5sjeh972gqqxqjak37w‘s optimization has reduced data-out by 8x, we are not having data-out overages for a long time…

✅ - another critical step is making nostr.build FOSS. We plan to announce and train on our infrastructure and FOSS code at nostrasia Tokyo, nostr:npub137c5pd8gmhhe0njtsgwjgunc5xjr2vmzvglkgqs5sjeh972gqqxqjak37w will have a session on it. Almost done here.

- Account integration is another key feature we are working on, but need to rebuild the APIs first marking them safe, real APIs. It’s coming but not there yet..

- Something that would be invaluable to nostr is tagging all content so it is searchable and having the ability to showcase top downloads. We have already created the DB for each media uploaded, but the AI tagging content will take some time, money and dev work. But it’s coming.

- We will also add a meme maker for the web and possibly in-client.

- We also plan to add basic image editing features for accounts.

None of these really awesome and fun features can be added until we finalize updating and optimizing the code. The best news of all is nostr:npub137c5pd8gmhhe0njtsgwjgunc5xjr2vmzvglkgqs5sjeh972gqqxqjak37w has become and incredible partner and is easily one of the top devs in our community. He is the one who has been basically re-writing almost everything 5000+ lines plus in the last month!!

Be patient all, big things coming for nostr.build. Think about it, by detaching the ‘media’ from ‘social media’ we will have even more features and flexibility than Twitter and Facebook. You will be able to own and manage your own media like never before.

🔥

nostr:npub1zafcms4xya5ap9zr7xxr0jlrtrattwlesytn2s42030lzu0dwlzqpd26k5 this was an interesting bug… Damus left behind my photo when I hit post and the upload was apparently still processing.

Thanks for the write up 🙏

We don’t build the product for anonymity (although it can provide it), we build it for privacy of ordinary users from the operator and any observers.

Privacy means not just secrecy of my messages, by definition in includes the privacy of my associations.

I don’t need to hide my identity from people I talk to (=anonymity). But I absolutely don’t want my communication service provider observing my connections. Why is it so? Because apparently as this information is not private, and shared publicly, it can be further shared with the third parties - especially in the US.

And a lot of third parties having visibility of this connection graph doesn’t just create risks for freedom in oppressive regimes. It has a direct impact on the prices we pay online - targeted prices, aka price discrimination, becomes the norm for a growing number of online retailers. And if you think that it results in wealthier people paying more you are wrong - usually it works in the opposite direction, known as “poverty premium”.

So privacy doesn’t seem something only a niche market needs - it seems like something absolutely everybody needs, and that Signal, WhatsApp, Session etc. simply cannot provide whether they use phone numbers or not - any form of identification is good enough to reconstruct connection graph via correlation of communication patters with the existing public networks - it won’t be flawless but it will be precise enough for targeted pricing. So it’s just have to stop, and privacy of our associations from communication providers should become a norm, not an exception.

#[2]​ are you using damus? Any clue how the triple post happened?

Pay the subcontractors, and suppliers in bit 🌽.

Ask for payment in bit 🌽 from customers (could offer a discount for bit 🌽 payment).

#damusdevs are aiming to tidy a few things and get them right before adding new big features 🙏

What else do you think would help with improving #onboarding and therefore retention #[3]​ #[2]​ ?

#645 is remove 🤙 from existing on your client on any profile

#932 is 5 second fat finger undo

No one is forcing you or anyone to use bitcoin, or nostr. You are free to not use bitcoin, as you are free to not use the internet, internal combustion engines etc.

Everything on #nostr is voluntary.

If you don’t have bitcoin, and don’t know how to get it you could ask here.

Tag the #plebchain , #zapchain, #grownostr , #introductions hashtags and you will find very friendly and open folks who will show you how to get started.
