I prolly need another 2-4 weeks (reality check) to push MVP live.
This got more complicated when I realized that meeting people IN PERSON requires a specific attention to respecting privacy, when it comes to DM metadata leak.
For a real world usable MVP to “scan my QR code to create a Nostr npub and DM me privately and anonymously”, I realized that standard kind-4 DMs would NOT do, and that NDK needed to support NIP17 private messages. So I built this out for NDK, and that set me back and then I had to get back to the fiat mines (after a few months FT on this) with MVP almost complete.

My geyser “MVP Release” goal is 8k sats, to support me full time to get real world usable MVP out the door.

Until then, this project is slow roll to MVP in my spare time. (But I will never give up!)
Sorry what's FT?

8k sats? Did you mean million?
I agree
Most of what we have now, especially pop music is pure fiat music, especially reggaeton. Making music like this got so expensive because of inflation that musically easy and simple music took the lead. Lyrics written in 5 minutes are what's popular.
Like food, leaving the gold standard destroyed art, music, and even architecture.
Bitcoin will usher in a new era of creative freedom and innovation in the arts. Like a Renaissance if you will
With the latest nostr:npub1v5ufyh4lkeslgxxcclg8f0hzazhaw7rsrhvfquxzm2fk64c72hps45n0v5 Nostr integration hitting the mobile app stores. It may be a good time to check out the nostr:npub14kw5ygpl6fyqagh9cnrytyaqyacg46lzkq42vz7hk8txdk49kzxs04j7y0 episode that breaks down what’s under the hood and why.
Is there an apk for us cypherpunks that don't use app stores?
Lots of alternative OS users here on Nostr, seems like a nobrainer
Thanks for asking…
MVP is not yet (but almost) complete … but need to afford more development time.

- invites will be customizable, with default being that your invited friend only follows you
- customizable invites allow you to “recommend” specific follows based on who (what friend group) you are inviting. ALSO there will be a network explorer for your invited friend to see and discover new follows based on your follows and their follows.
- the password is for your invited friend to “log on again” if needed … because when their new npub is first created from the invite, they choose a username and password (like they are used to). The password encrypts their nsec, and stores the encrypted on our app cloud. This allows for you to onboard them to Nostr and delay the key management talk, without need for key custody.
- yes. All aspects of invites will be customizable. AND relays (that you and your follows connect to) will be discoverable by the invited in the network explorer. (Similar to discovering your follows)
- the customizable invites are “coming soon” … as long as I can pay rent while developing. (This does require full time… and I don’t have that without funding)
- the MVP (minimum functional release) will be simply “scan my QR code and message me privately” (using gift wrapped no-data-leak NIP-17) which is a valuable app in its own right for having instant private and anonymous messages with anybody.

This is awesome! How much do you need to push this out?
Also, when signing up with an invite, what client will the sign in to? Let's say I recommend Primal, how is the flow here?
For the future it'd be great to have their account already loaded with bitcoin (ecash)
Don't get them to low (outbound) or they'll force close it.
What's the other app that's not Meet Me On Nostr for on boarding?
I want people who I onboard to:
1- See who I Follow
2- from that list choose who they want to follow or follow all (free will nostr:nprofile1qqsgydql3q4ka27d9wnlrmus4tvkrnc8ftc4h8h5fgyln54gl0a7dgspzfmhxue69uhhqatjwpkx2urpvuhx2ucpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzv9hxgqgmwaehxw309ahx7um5wghxyarr94kxjcnjv9e8jtnrdaksfdrqw7)
3- choose relays from a recommended list or based on my social graph
4- follow me
5- get a welcome message from me
6- maybe even get some sats to get started. Maybe its something we can do with locked ecash? nostr:nprofile1qqs9pk20ctv9srrg9vr354p03v0rrgsqkpggh2u45va77zz4mu5p6ccpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzv9hxgtcpz4mhxue69uhkummnw3ezummcw3ezuer9wchsz9thwden5te0wfjkccte9ejxzmt4wvhxjme0907cz8

Just found out about Meet Me On Nostr. Really awesome project.
What's the other one they mention? Just curious to know all the options.
I'm testing Meet Me On Nostr and I have a few questions.
- do people I onboard follow all the npubs I'm following?
- if not, can they at least get the option to see who I follow and choose manually during on boarding?
- the password is for what exactly? Where is their nsec?
- can I choose their relays as Pablo mentioned?
- when will we get customizable invites?
- can I already add a message? Or that's coming?
Would love to help as much as I can here. This is an awesome way to onboard people.
Thanks to nostr:npub1r0rs5q2gk0e3dk3nlc7gnu378ec6cnlenqp8a3cjhyzu6f8k5sgs4sq9ac now https://nostrapps.com/ is under my control, I changed some small things and some (many?) others got lost during the migration. Bug reports and contributions are welcome.
Also changes, removals and additions to the list of apps (but please don't send NINOs or apps that are too small in scope or that wouldn't be immediately useful to a new Nostr user -- I don't yet what is the criteria).
Send your patches to the address specified at https://git.fiatjaf.com/nostrapps.com (and let me know afterwards because I will forget to check).
How can I help here with out being a dev?
- tags are broken and there's many apps that no longer appear on their category.
- there's no OS filtering on mobile
- apps should link to their github too
An example of the 1st is that now there's 0 apps on the tools category. Also I don't see Habla or Highlighter on the writing category as I used to.
Tagging/categories used to be on point.
Happy to help and learn along the way. Is nostrapps open source? Maybe it can be a great starting project for me to contribute.

Stop using fiat
You've been warned
Bitcoin will be part of your every day life, like the internet.
Whether you like it or not, you will use it.
The question is, will you get it early or work for it?
I guess everyone gets bitcoin at the price they deserve.
Save in Bitcoin and focus on your craft.
Malaysia 🇲🇾 have found their second round of crushing 1000 #ASIC miners as they continue to stamp out illegal mining operations. Apparently, power theft for bitcoin mining has cost the country $776 million since 2018
Surely there's a bid for these devices, why not sell it to legitimate miners locally or internationally?
