Ok, cool. I applied a filter by pablo, before 2020-11-14 and it keeps spinning ever since. Is it downloading all the events until it eventually finds old ones?

I now played around a bit more and can't see the time constraints to get applied. I search for posts from 2020-01-01 to 2020-11-14 and find only posts from 2023.

To the makers of snort.social and primal.net:

Please make un-earthing old posts easier. nostr:npub1l2vyh47mk2p0qlsku7hg0vn29faehy9hy34ygaclpn66ukqp3afqutajft made a cool tool - https://exit.pub - and I would like to know if it's actually cool already but knowing that he did import his tweets I'm having a hard time to find what Pablo shared in 2020. In fact, scrolling back in primal it took me many minutes to get to TextNotes that are still only "2 mo. ago".

Maybe I fell for a prank and the "thread" about you creating friction was a joke? I just searched for "thread" in your timeline and picked whatever TextNote that looked like it probably was imported from Twitter. Now trying to re-do this exercise I can't find old TextNotes on snort :( And on primal it takes probably half an hour to scroll that far back.

Feature request: correctly import threads from Twitter.

Is exit.pub open source? https://github.com/pablof7z/exit looks like you might have forgotten to push some commits ;)

So Bisq appears to be taking off at least in Europe. And Bisq appears to be supporting face-to-face trades, too. This guy here must be more into meeting Bitcoiners than into aping all in into Bitcoin.

He's paying a 20% premium for the honor of meeting you and buy your coins, starting at 77€. Limited to 154€.

I wonder if this is to get to know F2F traders to then trade even off-Bisq later? That's what happened on localbitcoins a lot as localbitcoins couldn't do much against people who meet F2F exchanging contact details.

Anyway, Bisq still looks scary and very technical.

But ... having to top up a wallet on the same site is kind of cheating. I think it would need to talk to some browser extension but then in that extension I'd have to have control to always allow up to x sats per hours per event per ...

Besides https://nostr.watch, what other resources are there to help users choose relays? nostr:note1vh3zlhz0lqazqla4yc60d9a7r6deghhhy3qm70nqgdmm0gxuqpcqvnd5w6

I had started work on this at https://nostr.info/relays/ but nostr.watch is the best as far as I can see.

All fail to lead users to the right choice of relays which nobody knows how to determine so far. If the gossip model is to prevail, everybody should get on 3 or 4 relays with the client pulling from dozens if needed.

Paid or not paid is so far a very irrelevant criteria as no relay has a sustainable business model or anything suggesting they would be around in a year from now.

And also there is so far no client that checks for my events being stored on multiple relays. I want to know when my events are down to one or two relays to take action and mirror them to a new relay.

I'm hesitant to import my tweets. The preview:

https://void.cat/d/6qYYgiRiVQpQzMxJNzwkFg.webp

doesn't look like something I would like to share as such. Or is https://exit.pub/ just not rendering TextNotes like others would?

nostr:npub1l2vyh47mk2p0qlsku7hg0vn29faehy9hy34ygaclpn66ukqp3afqutajft what is "Include threads" vs. "Include OP tweets"? To me it sounds like the first is threads with more than one tweet while "OP tweets" are 1-long threads. Why is one on by default and the other not?

Now changing the category checkboxes after hitting "generate events" doesn't change the events or their checkboxes. I think it would make it easier to understand what's going on if I could dynamically change things after importing.

There is absolutely no reason why this measuring device should phone home about when and how I use it yet that's exactly what it does - to ask me how my Sirloin Roast turned out. I can opt out from those mails but not from it phoning home.

After paying more than 100€ for a fancy thermometer I was not amused to not be able to use it without providing a verified email address and setting a strong password. WTF? And now I get spammed every time I prepare a steak?

The beauty of bloom filters is that you can go to 1/10M fpr without making it that much bigger.

Also there is better tools that also allow you to remove elements.

i know nostr:npub1gm7tuvr9atc6u7q3gevjfeyfyvmrlul4y67k7u7hcxztz67ceexs078rf6, its on a todo list for someday, i have more plans with it but just need to find the time to properly do it

Wanna formulate your plans in an issue or something? I could sponsor data collection or otherwise help with it.

I moved the data out from my nostr.info repo to make it easier to integrate in other projects but I haven't touched it in a while, so your repo is probably well ahead again.

The power of great communities - i've started awesome-nostr repo in Jan 2022 as a personal bookmark project and helping the back then relatively tiny community of nostr enthusiasts collect all the interesting projects that existed in the #nostr universe. Over time it became the go-to page for people to point newbies in the space and a place where builders published their new creations.

Initially I was the one adding the majority of the projects that I came up in the telegram group or randomly stumbling upon. Soon people started submitting their own projects and projects they found which was also great because I was busy building nostr:npub133700hy3nn5k7ckq226ezyje4pqvh6js60w6cmr72juj0tnjn7pqy885gy and didn't have as much time to dedicate to nostr. But the list of projects kept growing and growing.

And then nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m happened. The repository had couple thousand visitors a day, the amount of new projects started was exploding and nostr was getting traction. All of the sudden people started submitting lots of PRs, from link curation, formatting and general improvements. One of the contributors suggested to add star counts to the links so people can see the popularity of projects. Another one submitted a PR which alphabetically ordered projects in their respective categories which made everything a bit more readable. The ideas kept coming in.

Around that time I also found some spare time to finally use one of my nostr domains and make the information available on nostr.net instead of just a github.com repository link. It was much easier to point people to it, specially normies. With the insane rate of development and impossible task of following up on everything nostr was becoming reviewing PRs couple times a week was also a great way for me to stay updated on new projects - I checked out every project ever committed to the repo.

Since its inception the repository accumulated:

- 184 contributors

- 400 projects listed

- 2168 stars

And hopefully helped many many more discover new nostr projects. By now the nostr ecosystem is so vast that no individual can follow everything.

But as community as a whole we manage to keep the list reasonably updated with projects and other useful links, from international communities to tutorials and recommended reading. Somehow the repo even made it to forbes article on nostr 🤯

Nostriches are awesome creatures and i'm very proud to be part of this community and maybe help it grow in a tiny way. If you haven't yet - go to https://www.nostr.net and check out some of the amazing projects built on nostr!

You started a great effort there but the data should be machine-readable to make it searchable and filterable. I started that effort with https://github.com/Giszmo/nostrResources where each of your entries is a separate yaml file. https://nostr.info makes use of that but I'm not too happy with it neither. There's more one could do with the data.

My repos are also open source, so ... maybe somebody ...

Introducing EXIT

You broke up with your ex; it wasn’t treating you well, maybe it was shadow banning you or your friends; it was manipulating you into becoming your worst possible self.

But over the years you accrued a bunch of quality shitposts, and perhaps some nuggets of wisdom.

Introducing: https://exit.pub:

The last bridge you’ll need to port over your data into the new world of decentralized freedom-tech.

1. Download your twitter archive

2. If Elon agrees, you’ll get a zip file; uncompress it and just use exit.pub to import your data into nostr

✅ original dates are used; whatever you posted in 2009 will show up as posted in nostr in 2009

✅ granular control of which tweets to import (threads, non-replies, replies)

✅ V4V, you choose how much your shitposts are worth

✅ it *should* preserve embedded images

✅ granular control of which relays you want to publish to

Try it out:

https://exit.pub

I see people have problems. For me, the site is blank completely.

I wonder when it works, are event IDs deterministic or would I duplicate events if I re-run the import?
