yes it does. the complaint was the NIP-53 was incomplete and nostrnests was supposed to complete writing the spec. So I did it for everyone - I extended and wrote the spec, since he kept nostrnests on his app list. As of May 2025, both hivetalk and nostrnests run on kind 30312, 30313, across multiple relays as noted on the nostr-protocol on github.
We wrote our own custom relay and client for Hivetalk Honey, rewrote the entire system from scratch and added a bunch more NIPs. Vanilla was a prototype with just a few basic kinds on the client side.
Either way it doesn't matter. I did a lot of work; I stand by it, and I stopped caring if people think I'm not a legit dev. I really do not feel the need to kow-tow to any central authority that wants to judge me, as that's the point of nostr and bitcoin.
I know what I'm worth and nobody can take that away from me. Its a cruel world out there.
Hmm maybe you missed the mega thread about it in January. I have to dig to find it, but there were many removed from the list that did legit work.
Are you gonna add plebs and zombies? 😆

Plebnet.dev now has a signet node running with a LNBits on top!
If you are a developer and want to use signet to test Lightning apps you are building, you can make an account on https://signet.plebnet.dev/, Faucets should have signet lightning, if you are in a pinch and really need some, just DM me and we can give you some.

No. I had spent time there.
like you said, they seem to only care about NGU and trading. 🤣
their values are not like ours 🙃
Yeah. I know. I worked with Sam as one of the directors for 3 years.
People seem to forget I exist 😂, except here on nostr.
Who was it this time?
Never heard of it. What was the organizers’ name? Maybe we know each other 😌

😂
I thought you weren't going to use alby anymore?
Well its good if you are self hosting, congrats on updating :)
I love how #nostr is continuous R&D building all day everyday and the best part is having people to chat with about it. IHTFP(aradise) for builders :D
Good points. Principle over growth. Do-ers over critics

how about scp? is that already on board? :)
Most people Want Easy.

Do the hard work but thats also what makes us better ✌️🧡

Microproject #4: Swarm team blossom relay with web upload client (bouquet).
basically this is relay auth access only to the pubkeys in a nostr.json , plus the bouquet upload and media mirror client tacked on, using the same domain. nice for uploading media that you can use for future posts.
Btw, I don't know if this is really a good idea or not, its really out of convenience and frustration. its too much to ask non-tech plebs to learn CLI. Volume is small enough not to need a full service, inconvenient enough to run a blossom relay to build it out myself. I might also add another web front end client to the same relay for managing notes and collaborating on drafts between team members.
If its a stupid idea just say so but I don't know of anything else that is solving my problem so i figure i might as well build it myself and improve on repos that haven't been updated in months. Or maybe refactor and make it a smoother experience.
https://swarm.hivetalk.org/25b3ec2f2aad9411500cbfdf7be2586eccbeec6b4c5e7f51ff02635051917df8
oh btw, I also made this b/c primal mobile hates my blossom relay.
I've put issues on https://github.com/mikedilger/nostr-next as a dumping ground for things I thought were too hard for nostr to solve.
this is pretty close to what i was looking for, thanks nostr:npub1acg6thl5psv62405rljzkj8spesceyfz2c32udakc2ak0dmvfeyse9p35c
Awesome! also how you made that without smudging is totally magic and amazing!

To guarantee your notes will stick around on Nostr it is essential to run your own relay. Public and even private relays aren't going to hold them forever. Setting up and running your own relay isn't that difficult, and there are options for most hardware and all skill levels.
🔹Local Options on your PC or phone.
🔻For your PC nostr-relay-tray by nostr:nprofile1qqsgzfdez8ksa9xmuvqg5zly3nl9e5xqkpvj8nllj9aw06ra4pqq3qcpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhszrnhwden5te0dehhxtnvdakz7qgswaehxw309ahx7um5wghx6mmd9uqdl3vp is a great option, available for Linux, Mac & Windows. Combined with jumble.social it gives you an all in one solution to store and view your notes on your own computer.
https://github.com/CodyTseng/nostr-relay-tray
🔻For Android phones use citrine, created by nostr:nprofile1qqs827g8dkd07zjvlhh60csytujgd3l9mz7x807xk3fewge7rwlukxgpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhszrnhwden5te0dehhxtnvdakz7auvdel It integrates well with Amethyst, jumble.social and nostrudel.ninja It gives you a local backup of your notes, and can even pull notes from other relays for a more complete backup. Complex setups using Orbot can even give you more private DM messages over Tor.
https://github.com/greenart7c3/Citrine
🔻iOS doesn't currently have any options available afaik.
🔹 Internet Based Options
🔻The easiest option here is relay.tools created and maintained by nostr:nprofile1qqs8eseg5zxak2hal8umuaa7laxgxjyll9uhyxp86c522shn9gj8crspz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7qgjwaehxw309ahx7um5wgerztnrdakj7qgkwaehxw309a3x2an09ehx7um5wgcjucm0d5hsvlnggv It is a hosted option, meaning you don't need to know how to run Linux or configure and maintain the relay software. Just set it up the way you want and use it.
🔻A slightly more difficult option is Haven relay created by nostr:nprofile1qqsw9n8heusyq0el9f99tveg7r0rhcu9tznatuekxt764m78ymqu36cpr3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujucnfw33k76twwpshy6ewvdhk6tcpzdmhxue69uhhwmm59e6hg7r09ehkuef0qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtn4w3ux7tn0dejj7ne6u4e It is a fantastic piece of relay software, combining outbox, inbox and private relays, and the ability to import old notes. It even includes a blossom server for hosting your own media files. This will require either PC hardware with Linux installed, or a Linux VPS. If you feel comfortable managing a Linux server this is the best option, but is again the most difficult one I have listed.

I haven't run Haven relay yet but it seems from browsing the docs, its not "more difficult" but just more configuration steps, actually its pretty close to just running your own lightning node or lnbits server.
should be easy for just someone who's comfortable sysadmini'ing 😉

100%. That's also why having nostr keys to sign before you transmit audio might be the final option
next level terrifying! now we need to really know people IRL in order to protect ourselves from online scam calls..... or maybe just sign everything with nostr keys
LOL what is that? it looks like a router, but if so, good use of it! :D
