How it feels to get sent a TikTok link, without that stupid app on your phone…

God I hope that “conspiracy theory” ain’t true, but - I have a sick feeling in the pit, deep down - It wouldn’t surprise me at this point.

If you talk about it, post a link and I’ll listen to the show.

I carried a clarinet, picked it because it was smaller than a trumpet, but not a flute like most of the girls played.

Served me well into university. I do wish however I’d learned the strings back then.

Hey nostr:npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240 Thanks for the Zap, I made a point to listen to the whole talk. It was good!

I agree with about 95%!

Couple interesting take aways, and experiences.

While helping someone sign up on android, we essentially just picked an app at random on the Android App Store after searching for Nostr, It just so happened that the app we chose bugged on his phone and the nsec froze at generation. You could just see the frustration level just climbing. So, I said no worries, just try a different app (you could see the confusion) but we tried it, the nsec was successfully generated and he logged in. I said, hold on a sec, copy that nsec back to the first app and try and login. It worked flawlessly, and with the magic string, suddenly two apps came alive with the exact same account.

A lightbulbs went off. And right there the power of the protocol was showcased.

People tend to be “app overload”, constantly having to “sign up for”, another app another service then remember passwords, etc etc. It comes to a point when a fatigue of trying new apps and siloed services becomes a huge drag. But it’s the paradigm that’s widely understood, it’s how people think about apps on the Internet. Siloes, with each company desperately scrambling for users so they can push advertisements on them and monetize them as a product. Often times, friends / family etc, will ask you to sign up for an app or something just because they’re using it, and to be nice you tend to do it, companies have been using this friend networking effect to build their user bases.

Apps like TikTok even lock their content to a large degree behind this signup wall. It annoys me so much, in protest I refuse to even put the app on my phone.

Nostr is a different paradigm, and I think it has huge potential.

It definitely feels new, and there’s bugs everywhere, but it feels more early days Twitter.

I’d like to see a NIP that has the ability to read the nsec via nfc build into phones. Wear a ring or key fob with your nsec + Face ID or pincode - that can be changed or set. Write out your nsec to nfc cards make backups, etc.

Then simply pickup your phone, install an app, it reads your nfc ring, pop in your pin, and everything is just there and working.

On a computer you could do a similar thing to the web3 wallet connect, to login to many different apps all by keeping your key secure on your finger.

Literally pickup a new phone, open the app and your stuff is there, no passwords or anything.

That’s my vision for the future of this technology.

Another interesting use case, (for the tech crowd) would be to utilize the protocol as a push notification mechanism. With the ability to push to your phone events via webhook type mechanism. Think pushover etc.

Telegram uses the Bots to achieve this and people tend to hook into that network as a way to push status information out to people.

Similar mechanism on Nostr would be another way to pull in a whole new base of users.

People that need to be notified by PM to events that happen online.

Another massive use I have for telegram is the ability to send messages to myself as a way to move text and notes between phone and computer.

A similar - “Note to self” section encrypted and actually secure but easy to use, would be another feature that I think would be very useful.

For example say I want to move a password string between my phone and my computer, but it’s a temporary password and it’s 20 characters long… notes.

Hola everyone!

Long term bitcoiner from Finland here, just lurking atm. Don't really have anything to give, just reading your posts and getting to know different clients etc.

Was introduced a while ago but really got excited after watching the videos from Nostriga.

Impossible to name all but the way nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m and nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m mallers talked about Nostr and especially the "Nostr Past, Present and Future" by nostr:npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240 made a huge impact on me.

I honestly have the same feeling about Nostr as i did when i heard about Bitcoin in the summer of 2014. Propably understand as little of this as i did about Bitcoin then but the gut feeling of the enormous potential is the same. Good times ahead. 👌

#introductions

Hey, new here too by a week or so, is there a clip of the vid you talked about. Wouldn’t mind watching it.

Ooo! Exciting!

I’ve got three in my collection.

- My retired one (sentimental don’t want it lost)

- My Wave, that I purchased brand new and have taken extreme pains to take care of.

- My EDC WAVE that I found driven over on the highway and fixed into a useable condition. I carry it in a leather man leather case, with some modifications for not getting lost or falling out.

This includes the placement of a key ring on the back that I can half hitch a piece of para cord to, the paracord also has two sliding button knots, which additionally act as a locking mechanism to keep the wave in the shorty if the primary snap pops open during everyday activities. Slight paranoid on loosing it, but they’re expensive and I’d rather have the locking mechanism than not.

I can post photos of my setup if you’re interested.

Additionally, I carry a flint in one of the side pockets.

Life in the remote mountains of Canada can be dangerous, and having the bare minimum of a knife / multitool + flint for fire is something I take seriously when out and about. Car or bike breaks down or accident and can’t move, help sometimes can take hours to days to arrive. It’s my lifeline / tool to make staying alive much easier.

Good Song.

I always forget how good it is till it pops up in interesting places.

Yeah.

It’s a vulnerability in the whole social network.

Three letter agencies / other social media companies scared of loosing users and thus advertising revenue, flood the competitions space using anon accounts with objectionable materials.

Then complain that there’s no content moderation, and government should regulate.

Governments kill the competition, and the social media companies and governments agencies behind it, suck up user data like normal and profit.

Circles of friends is definitely a way to mitigate it, but I do think we need some sort of shared block lists that people can opt into to completely filter that content.

Basically if multiple people report it, it makes it onto a temp blacklist, then setup an AI to scan the reported post and set a rating. With an appeal process through each relay running the lists.

We have to have some mechanism to keep this illegal content off the network.

I think multiple reports from multiple separate people, should trigger AI review and if found to be illegal, blacklist the key completely on that relay. Then, if the AI made a mistake, and IF people are deliberately abusing the system, and targeting users to get them blacklisted. The user can flag an appeal to the relay operators.

Just my 2c on how to get ahead of the incoming inevitable spam & nastiness.

Got to program our way out… need to build build build.

So, Dad got a Yellowjacket sting 🐝 in his ear 👂 the other day.

Today, I find he’s tracked down an old can of spray, and labeled it…

He’s got an interesting sense of humour.
