I wear many hats. https://nostree.me/bitkarrot@nostr.com

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.

Well I sure hope you succeed. Would love to get Hivetalk added back 😆

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.

2025 was the year AI just crossed over and changed everything forever. Now there's no going back. Not adopting the new reality means getting left behind. Are you ready?

No. I had spent time there.

Introducing Take My Sats — a #bitcoin-only ecommerce platform.

https://www.takemysats.com

If you told me a year ago when I left Shopify that I’d be building the platform for bitcoiners, I wouldn’t have believed you. But as we know, it’s gradually then suddenly. So here we are. The website is now entering its beta phase and coming out the gate with the following features:

🟠 Nostr login

🟠 Lightning address, NWC, and BTCPay payment integrations (Note: If using a Lightning address, it needs to support LNURL-verify)

🟠 nostr:npub16ndruwfg7dsdhnp3w8zvqrg0r2rn3wucnttgrg5acm2lhqpkepkqncr9qr verification

🟠 Pay for and create shipping labels via Bitcoin Postage

🟠 Support for promo codes

🟠 Store analytics

BETA ACCESS:

To get access, zap this note 2100 sats and I’ll get you set up with a store.

SPECIAL OFFER:

In the spirit of long time preference, I purchased the domain for the max amount of 5 years. If you’re bullish on what I’m building and would like to support, you can lock in a Pleb Plan for five years for 100K sats. I’ll also come up with a nice badge to display on your storefront.

Thank you to my alpha testers, you will continue to have access throughout the beta phase.

Finally, thank you for reading this note and for your continued support. Let’s keep building. 🫡

ARE BITCOINERS LIVING IN A BUBBLE?

Fat Zap Friday livestream ⚡️⚡️⚡️

We discussed:

- are we living in a bubble or living in the future?

- we won't know the real price of Bitcoin until we see proof-of-reserves

- why are Trader Joe's parking lots so small?

- the barbell strategy of Bitcoin and Cash

- and much more

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

I think you’re right about people preferring “hand coded” apps to vibe coded slop. The feeling seems to be much stronger with the open source community though, after all how would you know if something proprietary was vibe coded?

Sadly AI coding has become the norm. I was speaking to a developer last week who used to work at Facebook; they’re the best developer I know and that’s not a statement I say lightly! They were saying how it’ll likely just make the top developers work harder and lead to increased layoffs with higher demands on those that are left.

Back in the day there was one person who did HTML and maybe CSS and then another that just did JS. Likewise the backend team used to be separate along with developer operations, hardware, etc. Now days it’s all merged into one. There’s less jobs and higher demands. AI is just the next evolution of that.

Software is in higher demand than it ever has been. It’s a “utility now like electricity and water” for any business as my friend put it. The state of the economy isn’t helping the job market but with 95% of AI startups failing (according to a recent MIT study) we can expect the AI bubble to burst and for developers to learn to work WITH AI as opposed to getting it to do everything in one go. At least until Artificial General Intelligence xD

We aren’t sure when it’ll come but right now you need to prepare. Get your cyber security in order, begin self hosting things, download offline resources because the day AI becomes good enough at hacking into its own sloppy code we’re in big trouble. And if you happen to work in cyber security like me then you’re gonna be making a lot of money that means nothing in a collapsed economy!

Oh and don’t trust vibe coded Nostr clients like Iris:

nostr:note1crqtj8sq6dhd6e73k3yknjv4zx46x0z5uhd6ga6azhl62g0854eqm0086a

Sloppy work always gets washed out.

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

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

not sure i understand the reference?
