Sorry it took us so long to get here, but we thought our sweet npub would be worth the wait.

Is Twitter ok ?

The trouble with being early to bitcoin - and now nostr - is we have to spend years watching everyone struggle with the problems both tools solve before they realize there are tools that fix those problems.

Steak and butter are the most healing foods on the planet.

I was completely against this idea most of my life. Until I tried it.

I am completely overcome by sadness by this. I wouldn't be at Block today, if not for Bob. He personally recruited me. He introduced me to @jack. He made me a better engineer. He partied and loved life like no person I knew. My thoughts are with Bob's family right now. I love you crazybob. 😔 #[0]

I wonder are there any emoji that can be encoded as different UTF8 depending on the implementations too.

I think the underlying problem is that utf8 mostly concerning about how non-ascii characters can be packed in a ascii text which is json. The encode can varies as long as the decoded can restore it correctly. Nostr can’t allow varies encode given a same character, otherwise the id will differ. 😔

ok, now I understand it.

It's about escaping the content field to create the JSON string. Some implementations are escaping newline char into "\n" (2 chars) but not other characters like LSEP into \u2028 (6 chars) before hashing.

Everything is fine in interfaces because they automatically space and unescape things.

But the hash is sensitive to those differences.

The issue is that some implementations PARTIALLY escape some characters and not escape others.

I am not sure if there is a standard for these choices.

Getting closer. Once he's arrested, I can start to go into details.
