Hej Nostr, what's cooking?

Can someone bring me up to speed on Zapathons. What is the purpose and how will it help Nostr's adoption

Perhaps there is a market to create a GDPR compliant Nostr relay?

1. Data Controller and Processor Responsibilities:

- Under GDPR, the roles of data controllers and processors are clearly defined. If a relay operator is storing or processing personal data, they may be classified as a data controller or processor, depending on their specific activities and control over the data.

- This classification would impose certain obligations, such as maintaining records of processing activities, implementing appropriate security measures, and complying with data subject rights.

2. Right to Erasure (Right to Be Forgotten):

- GDPR grants individuals the right to request the deletion of their personal data under certain circumstances. If a relay stores notes containing personal data, and if an author requests deletion, the relay operator may be obligated to comply.

- However, the decentralized and censorship-resistant nature of the Nostr protocol might complicate this. If data is replicated across multiple relays, deleting it from one may not remove it from others. The protocol's design and the relay's specific implementation would need to be carefully considered.

3. Third-Party Personal Data:

- If a note contains personal data about a third party, and that data is processed within the EU, GDPR obligations may apply.

- The relay operator would need to ensure that there is a lawful basis for processing this data, such as consent, a legitimate interest, or compliance with a legal obligation.

- If the third party requests access to, correction of, or deletion of their personal data, the relay operator may have to comply, depending on the specific circumstances.

4. Data Minimization and Purpose Limitation:

- GDPR requires that personal data be collected for specified, explicit, and legitimate purposes and that it be adequate, relevant, and limited to what is necessary for those purposes.

- Relay operators would need to consider what personal data they are processing and ensure that it aligns with these principles.

5. Cross-Border Data Transfers:

- If a relay in the EU is transmitting personal data to relays outside the EU/EEA, it may need to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to comply with GDPR's requirements for cross-border data transfers.

6. Legal Consultation:

- Given the complexity of GDPR and the unique characteristics of the Nostr protocol, it would be advisable for anyone considering running a relay in the EU to consult with legal professionals specializing in data protection law.

- A detailed legal analysis would take into account the specific implementation of the relay, the nature of the data being processed, and the applicable legal obligations under GDPR and other relevant laws.

that notes are permanent is going to ward off many. yet i think it’s needed.

Truths built on lies are also lies

Agreed were early. But that's why we had the influx of new members earlier on. More support was going to the creators. Which gave incentive, which is needed when some people have been hard stuck on other platforms for years if not a decade

Well, just lost everyone I recruited to Nostr. Some were friends, some were strangers I met in public. The reason they all gave was very similar. They mentioned about how 100% of zaps and support goto Devs. There is 0% support for creators. I've seen creators write long articles and get zilch for zaps. But when a dev mentions he had a good poop for the day, thousands if millions of zaps are hitting that note. I feel slowly over time it's going to be the fail point of Nostr. Worst thing , some of the people praising and begging to zap devs, have the same IP address of some devs. You can built a platform. But after that it's just a blank canvas without any paint. The paint is the creators. Some of my favorite creators post here anymore. And I feel it's because of the same reasons of everyone I recruited who quit. I've seen people giving millions of sats away in contest and just for fun. Same thing. No one cares.

So with this Rant , I urge all of you. Go zap your favorite content creator. Before this turns into a ghost town with echoes of good morning and pv.
