The primary trade-off is that mints are custodial by nature. If replacing a custodial service like a custodial lightning wallet then the benefits are huge!
This could be a good resource

Helpful. I’ll read right now the thing that’s escaped me so far is who the custodian is
You can now Zap with Cashu! 🚀

Do you have any good resources on cashu? Based on the website it feels too good to be true but I’m sure there’s some tech I haven’t read up on yet.
I’d love to understand the trade offs.
So grateful for your voice on this.
I think that message may help attract more folks that have vague misunderstandings about Bitcoin or associate it solely with the price obsessed crew
PS your book is a masterclass. I now recommend it to anyone who feels like the system is rigged against ordinary people.
This will be corrected in the original post. I imagine that the version of this content that was highlighted above won’t updated after the change (because of how replaceable events work) but anyone reading the original post from here on out will get the corrected version.
Gotcha! My bad I didn’t understand the 60 day part as deeply as I thought. This has better protection than I thought!
Thanks Doc 😊
I’ll add to https://relay.guide for folks to explore it too
And don’t want to bomb other neighborhoods
Gotcha yeah totally possible. I agree and think that moderated communities (like Reddit) on Nostr should use an event kind other than 1 to make sure it doesn’t show up on the general feed of Twitter-like clients.
But that’s not how NIP 72 is defined right now.
Similar problem to private group chat it’s not solved yet. You can do it but it’s essentially going to be a group chat.
If you’re looking for a private Reddit type experience I haven’t heard of anything yet.
There are moderated communities like Reddit on Nostr but I think all the posts that are allowed are publicly available.
Thank you nostr:npub1r3fwhjpx2njy87f9qxmapjn9neutwh7aeww95e03drkfg45cey4qgl7ex2 for noticing https://memestr.app
I hope you enjoyed it. 💜😁
Absolutely 😊 and if you can get nostr:npub1lrnvvs6z78s9yjqxxr38uyqkmn34lsaxznnqgd877j4z2qej3j5s09qnw5 using it you’ll get a lot of great content going. One of the best memelords around.
Congrats nostr:npub1wv79gfl4tn46qxs0vcr6kr73rqethvna0kchk4cw06mmdzsgrkdqmkxye0 ! Nice work tonight 💪
Yeah I wanted to help make it easy to publish updated sets of relays using https://relay.guide but not every client uses the same system for respecting a user’s preferred relays.
If we could agree a bit more on that then a combo of Relay Guide and a backup tool could make it really easy
Hey nostr:npub1vwymuey3u7mf860ndrkw3r7dz30s0srg6tqmhtjzg7umtm6rn5eq2qzugd loved the episode, thanks for your feedback on the NostrTechWeekly post. Much appreciated.
Re your idea of Nostr being more similar to how Napster works. It’s an interesting idea, it just has trade offs.
What you’re talking about is more P2P/Distributed system which is definitely ideal for censorship resistance. It does have performance downsides, especially as the number of things you want to share goes up (there’s only a few million songs total but there are trillions of social posts)
What you’re proposing can definitely be done technically. It just may not be scalable to handle all future Nostr usage.
There is wisdom to how FiatJ made Nostr a decentralized system (which is different from a distributed or P2P system with different trade offs. Decentralized might be the right balance between centralized and distributed that can be more censorship resistant than current players and also efficient enough to work as a first-rate social experience.
I’m happy to chat more if you’d like. It’s a nuanced topic.

What do yall think of doing a different event kind than a standard note? It feels like it would clutter the feed of kind 1 focused clients.
Yo nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m my wife just opened a square account for her small business and it got deactivated without any reason given.
She just transferred in money to start buying equipment and we can’t get a representative to talk to us about reactivating or getting the money out.
Worst part is that there’s no way to transfer the money back out. And the automated help line said that the money would be help for an unspecified time.
How can there be no way to appeal or talk to anyone?
