Sounds like he wants you to solve all relays responding faster and more consistently. 🤪

The first #Nostr client on Apple Watch will be my favorite app of all time. #NostrDevs, please don’t forget that the  Watch Ultra exists and some of us like to leave our phones at home.

There are many more than 2… I have 4 iOS clients right now and I’m sure there are others.

So I entered my nsec into badges.page… then I realized and learned that I shouldn’t be putting my nsec into websites without using an extension. So now I have Nostore, but can anyone explain how badges.page stores my nsec and how problematic this was?

Also, like in centralized platforms, is there any way to update or change your nsec in order to remain secure while maintaining the same profile? Is there any thoughts on how this might be managed now or in the future?

Good morning Nostrich land!!!

A couple thoughts on badges after playing around with them yesterday. When I first heard about badges my initial knee jerk reaction was to equate them to NFTs, and since NFTs are just scams used to steal money from idiots, I wasn’t too keen on the idea of badges if that’s what they amounted to. Yesterday, badge chatter on Nostr went from zero to 100 in no time, so I wanted to see what it’s all about, and figure out whether I needed to recruit #[0]​ and go all gorilla warfare on badges?

I’ve come to the tentative conclusion that badges do not equate to NFTs, because there is simply no ā€œTā€ (token) involved. There is no blockchain masquerade, no token being minted and sold or traded. A badge is a signed Nostr event, not much different than this post with a meme attached to it. That doesn’t mean badges aren’t dumb in many cases, but dumb is in the eye of the beholder. Badges are more like passport stamps, membership cards, post cards, stickers. I can think of some fun, dumb, and maybe even useful ways they could be used.

In some ways I think Nostr badges take what could have been useful about NFTs and, by removing the scammy token aspect, are actually useful for certain things. Not a replacement for āš”ļøzapsāš”ļø but badges aren’t entirely useless.

Just don’t be offended if someone doesn’t accept every badge you offer them. The gesture counts, but not everyone may like the taste of your digital fruitcake šŸ˜‚

Agreed. I think they have a really good place on Nostr. Follower count isn’t as important here, but badges can show what a profile is really about. I wouldn’t call them a verification, but rather a parameter that helps identify what someone is about in the community.

I got started on Damus and I love the Discord/Twitch vibe with the purple/black, but lately I’ve been testing out Nostur and Iris.

It’s really awesome how different clients can change your #Nostr experience. I highly recommend trying several clients. They each focus on slightly different things and can present threads slightly differently, giving you a different view of the conversation.

Good morning. Pura Vida! ?cid=2154d3d7crc5re3bzurxtaano98ywgmfikwryf2k5a0x6gxf&rid=giphy.gif&ct=g

I’m mostly Damus also, but I have Nostur a try just to check out badges. It’s actually a pretty slick client. I recommend it if you can get over the green UI.

Tattoos are art. Everyone of course can have their own opinion about the visual style, but I don’t think they should have any correlation to trust.
