nostr:npub12rv5lskctqxxs2c8rf2zlzc7xx3qpvzs3w4etgemauy9thegr43sf485vg what does cashu need to go into the stratosphere? Client adoption? New wallets? Existing wallet adoption? More mints? Guides on how to use it?
It needs nostr. I can think of a few things that I would like see in cashu wallets
- Mint discovery like the one Mutiny added for Fedimint
- The ability to rate and recommend mints to your followers
- The ability to DM your contacts, request, send cashu tokens in the same UI
- Connection to mints using nostr, ie, instead of connecting to a mint using its URL, you would connect to it using its npub or nprofile. That makes the mints much harder to shut down for governments, ISPs and also prevents you from exposing your IP to the mint, which can negate the privacy benefits of using it
- Backup mints (URLs or npubs) using relays and private notes
Of course these things are not guaranteed to make cashu an overnight success, but seem like good ideas
Research the effects of CBD and THC on the neurodiverse mind. People with ADD/ADHD and/or autism/asperger's experience the high from weed very differently.
A few drops of CBD oil a day keeps my life under my control. THC + CBD is even better, but can't easily buy them legally from medical stores (although they are available). The only reason I am sticking to CBD-only is because I don't want to consume weed by smoking.
Focus on the cryptography part. Of course you'll have to learn to code a bit for that, but cryptography is not your typical software development job, and most nostr devs aren't great with cryptography
Not bad
with the abrupt merging of a 12 hour old pull request by nostr:nprofile1qqsrhuxx8l9ex335q7he0f09aej04zpazpl0ne2cgukyawd24mayt8gprfmhxue69uhhq7tjv9kkjepwve5kzar2v9nzucm0d5hszrnhwden5te0dehhxtnvdakz7qg4waehxw309aex2mrp0yhxgctdw4eju6t09un2p9k6 that removes all of the authors from the plaintext of the NIP documents, and without having given the time for all of the relevant contributors to give theri consent, or lack thereof for this change, THE NOSTR has now become a closed private larp, and there will be a fork and breakaway project.
i'm not starting said project, but i predict that this will happen within 3 months.
i'm also now of the opinion that every single one of those who consented this are not trustworthy individuals, and being that most of them are app developres and major relay operators, i'm abandoning this platform.
the appearance of the reject by pubkey notices yesterday and the removal of the names of NIP contributors was no coincidence.
there is a coordinated action going on behind the scenes and the real people in control do not want it know that there is a management team behind this project.
this makes it extremely suspicious and i'm done contributing to it.
my pubkey is now being purged from my storage.
THE NOSTR is just X-lite.

IT HAS BEEN FOUR MONTHS
I was imagining something different that I want:
- A device that speaks the SimpleX protocol, so there is no single identity for anyone to track
- All connections to the Internet are done using TOR
- Payments via cashu
It will be a device that you take out of the drawer every 6 months to make sure it's still working, and it'll be something that you can rely on if/when shit goes down in your place
Ratings and Web of Trust in nostr will solve that. Otherwise people forget what they think about someone
That should be fairly easy. But I don't know the devs so not sure what they think
governments, the mafia, gangs, cartels, non profit organizations, churches, temples, startups, discord servers, github organizations, protocol specifications, nostrocket projects, are all different ways for people to come together and do something that they wouldn't have otherwise be able to do with their individual efforts
is there any book on understanding how people from groups? what other ways can people form these "organizations", ie, groups with responsibilities, accountability and hierarchy of authority now that we have bitcoin and nostr, which wouldn't have been possible before? where is the beginning of THAT rabbit hole?
I miss the night. Growing up, our village used to get just a few hours of electricity in the day, and mostly not after it gets dark. Electricity is still not reliable there but most people got inverters and recharge lamps etc.
When it got dark, you'd light the kerosene lamps and talk. Sometimes an uncle would come to give us company. I used to sit somewhere and do nothing mostly. Now, a couple decades later, I get extremely restless and anxious when left alone with my thoughts without my phone.
When people couldn't sleep at night because it was too hot inside, the entire village would just come outside with handheld fans and walk on the streets for an hour or two in the moonlight. I can't even see any stars today because I live in a city now.
One day I told one of my cousins that once I woke up at 8 am. He said he'd woken up at 9 before. I remember thinking that was insane. Nowadays I go to sleep at 9 am sometimes, after pulling an all nighter.
I am technically Gen Z. But I have spent a longer time without the internet and electricity at night, then with them. Every time there is a power outage at night, it makes me feel warm and giggly inside, and I go outside to look at the sky.
Jitsi seems to be E2E encrypted as well when it comes to audio, video calls and screen sharing, thanks
It's not FOSS, so can't tell how it works. Also I'm not sure if purely P2P apps are any better than nostr for metadata protection, because they expose your IP address to the DHT or the other party
Hmm seems like no one till now focused on creating a protocol for private communication of all types. Signal's protocol might be the most complete, but they weren't focused on interoperability, or easy self hosting. SimpleX might be the best choice for now. But I will wait to see what others have to say
Text and all kinds of files. Sync and async both. SimpleX uses SMP, XFTP and WebRTC to enable that.
What is the best protocol for private communications? The most helpful answer gets 1k sats.
What I am trying to solve:
- Use nostr to signal that you are using some app for private communications so that you can communicate using the secure alternative with other nostr users (instead of hacky nostr DMs)
- Communicate with non-nostr users who are already using the other protocol/service
Options I have thought about:
- We have nostr:npub1exv22uulqnmlluszc4yk92jhs2e5ajcs6mu3t00a6avzjcalj9csm7d828 with SMP and XFTP
- We have Signal (and WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger) with the Signal Protocol but it's non federated
- We have Session with it's own protocol, derived from the Signal protocol
My requirements:
- Encrypted one on one chat and group chat with a 100+ people
- Encrypted file sharing
- Phone and video calls (group calls included)
- Ephemeral identities and onion routed message delivery to preserve as much privacy as possible
- Or, use a single server along with Google's notification services etc for a balance of convenience and privacy
perhaps this is the spicier content, nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx ?
a wikifreedia-style of medicines; would have been very handy during covid and very prone to censorship to have a place to talk about ivermectin, etc
maybe we should deploy a family of topic-specific wikifreedia sites like Wikipedia, Inc. did

All knowledge bases can be made up of wikis. Books, courses, guides, manuals everything. We would probably need another event kind to group wikis together, and then some indexable tag to categorize the wikis (dictionary, medicines, encyclopedia etc)
I'm addicted to the feeling of control I get when individually authorizing each event signing via Alby
