Are you on ios18 beta ?

iOS 18*

There’s a reconnect bug in iOS 8 beta 3

I’m still a lightning maxi personally, at least until there’s a new L2 that makes offchain self custody even easier. ecash is not a self custody solution so it’s not that interesting to me.

If people want to push it as a custodial lightning alternative then fine, it is slightly better for that use case.

the amount of work to do that would be quite large, for a bitcoin model which I’m not even sure will work reliably at scale. I will wait to see how it plays out first.

All my characters were out of spell slots and we were outnumbered inside of a steel foundary, my barbarian quaffs haste and proceeds to throw every single enemy into a boiling crucible of metal.

dnd is the greatest… I have a gaming buddy now, maybe I can recruit nostr:npub1h50pnxqw9jg7dhr906fvy4mze2yzawf895jhnc3p7qmljdugm6gsrurqev in on a campaign 😅 family dnd nights should be a thing.

started a wholesome #bg3 campaign with the son. he chose the dark urge and already bit gale’s hand off. Off to rough start but who likes gale anyways.

gm nostr

genuinely curious why, i haven’t met anyone who likes inapp browsers before

I really hope new windows laptops don’t have that pre installed 😅

its so bad. pretty much everything about it

Loaded up for Elliott’s first entrepreneurial endeavour: popsicle/ice cream stand. We even have a square reader and everything ready to go 😁

One way to do it (but its not currently that common) is to check the relay field of the user's nip05. I added this to nip05 for this exact purpose. Then all you need to do is get the user to insert their nostr address to login.

Another way is to get the user to insert their nprofile when logging in, which provides the client with a list of relays to bootstrap from.

Some clients ask the user to explicitly choose relays they would like to bootstrap from. I find this not very user friendly so I don't do this method.

Some clients use a fixed relay list to bootstrap from.

Many different approaches you can take.

thanks! yes it is a motivator. once we hit a certain number of subscriptions we can start hiring more people. We are bootstrapping and don't have VC funding so it's the only way we'll be able to grow the team.

you can do this without putting anything onchain by using silent payments and an encrypted note on nostr that lets the recipient know what output is being spent. much nicer for utxo privacy.

awesome!

😯

The fact that they can push kernel drivers at will without permission. insanity. 🤦‍♂️

Makes sense why I’ve been seeing ads for this fucking game for like a year now. The only question now is why. The cash stacks of these mobile game companies 🤯

yes ma’am

Monetization happens through clients. Relays are just a business expense, not even the highest compared to paying employees.

why are you sending this then? this is a signal sent through the air. stop murdering children.

He’s @aiouy on twitter, i talked with him there

agree

yeah we will do that, should be easy to increase the search results to like 1000 instead of 20

> you can host any existing web application on Nostr

in what sense? it looks like this is just a proxy for notes, couldn't this be achieved with a simple https server + api? plz explain ;_;

i will miss you chonk

You create subscriptions on nostrdb, but they are just threadsafe queues of pointers to binary notes in the db instead of json and websockets and all that.

The idea is that you create remote subscriptions like normal, but the results of those subscriptions are only dumped into nostrdb.

nostrdb has a super efficient de-duping threadpool note processor. Any new incoming note matching a local subscription will be pushed to the subscription queues. They can be then polled or you can register a callback.

You can even do privacy stuff like open a remote global filter, and have local subscriptions that try to match notes without leaking any queries on the relay. This is a bit more bandwidth intensive of course.

There is a lot that goes into building a microblogging nostr client, i am suddenly reminded of this when building another one from scratch 😅

Some of the hardest things:

- tagging (requires a good local db and complex ui to pull off correctly)

- thread rendering (many ways to do it, sometimes hard to represent the tree structure on small screens)

- notification views with all of the relevant information grouped together

- note parsing and note embeds, note stats collecting (likes, bolt11 parsing for amounts, etc)

- mechanisms for fetching missing notes as they appear inside other notes

- countless other crap i am likely forgetting

Respect to devs who can do this without giving up. remember, hard is fun!

I initially thought so but its kind of how I’m building microapps within damus notedeck already, just need to figure out the drawing apis and a way to load these apps dynamically (wasm, etc)

Feels like I’m heading toward there 🤔 i think this basically ends up recreating the web with a different set of apis, so maybe there is an opportunity to do something simpler with a more direct rendering interface.

this is peak performance

I'm talking about private nostr on stage. local relay model has some interesting privacy benefits though:

https://github.com/damus-io/notedeck/issues/152

also happy to chat in person about it. I think it's pretty important for implementing the outbox model safely.

Im thinking of something related in microapp sense, but not exactly what you’re describing

What if we have a notedeck tablet as a permanent fixture on the wall in our living room

yeah sorry I've been trying to juggle iOS, a new android/desktop client, a new relay filtering tool, etc. Will get back to it soon.

this is why zcash never made sense, best to move privacy tech to L2s. Lightning is ok at this, not perfect, but decent.

I’m no security expert but the fact they did not have someone on this rooftop is insane to me. It’s one of the closest rooftops with LoS!?

The only thing I could think of is that they hesitated because they were not sure if it was a friendly, but, the kid doesn’t look like one of them at all?

It’s nice knowing big tech is not in the middle to influence the narrative with algos nostr:note13sk6q00snq4z3lsfvyf9r370anh75ntgntxgy0dgr22ma3ccsh0qvtm7xm

it entirely depends on your expertise level. I made it as easy as possible by providing https://sendsats.lol and by writing a zapper script that you can run next to your CLN node, but people don't even run a lightning node to begin with.

The main issue I was thinking of is using these in other protocols. You couldn’t really use these to unlock content or accept a DM, etc.

It seems like you would have to take extra steps to get a receipt of *real* payment. You would have to initiate a swap with a trusted mint. With a lightning zap i know my node sent it so it’s real right when I receive it.

Thinking about it some more, maybe the ideal ux is not showing the ecash as valid until it’s been auto-swapped into your mint of trust? nostr:note1gxhgmpc5k8ep0m2zyjn97q2wx32zp7dez0zlpzsvtxu8drzd3f4qrf400v

yeah that's a cool idea

Yeah i don’t think they should be called zaps. Thats confusing af, it is completely different.

Just my Linux desktop at home. I have my lightning port exposed on my static ip at home. I use this to route on lightning and to connect to my node remotely to use it as a wallet via commando/lnlink/lnsocket

People who want to sovereignty on lightning can run their own node. At the end of the day this is all that matters, and what lightning achieves. I run my own node, zap out of it, run my business out of it. It is working as intended.

If people choose custodial solutions that’s on them. I use custodial wallets alongside my node. The other day I just moved some of my node’s sats into wallet of satoshi to pay for something because my direct-to-cln wallet wasn’t installed at the time. It’s a flexible systems that enables lots of different use cases at different levels of custodianship.

The reason I prefer lightning over things like liquid, etc is that at the end of the day it has a feature called unilateral exits, which always allows you go to back on chain. The FUD around how lightning centralizes bitcoin is bizarre to me, it’s just a tool for setting up onchain bitcoin to be utilized more efficiently and with lower fees.

You can always recover base-layer decentralization via unilateral or cooperative exits if you need it, so the FUD is nonsense.
