despite it's problems, it is the only one that doesn't have an organised, malicious corporate entity behind it, just like bitcoin, just like lightning...

corporate registration = in league with the devil (the cult of government)

and that includes btw IETF, Mozilla Foundation, or any other NGO you care to name

oh i include HRF in that list of villains as well... they are deeply tied up with the spook backed puppet in moscow, Snowden who is just a pimp for mostly israeli spook crypto tech, idgaf what anyone thinks, just follow the money... and assange, his ties to the trump family are really obvious to anyone who has seen a pic of trump's uncle who presided over the confiscation of Tesla's work

trust no-one, no-one won't betray you

lol, mastodon is so old it's pathetic, and there's nothing really new about bluesky or threads, so #nostr is really teh only one in the game

but neither side of the political divide is gonna like it, same as #bitcoin and #lightning

being someone who doesn't ever again want to get into any kind of relationship with anyone who is being controlled by outside forces it's basically impossible - i am just keeping my eyes open but my defenses are at defcon 1, all threats must be seen as nuclear, as in the past every time there was a slight spidey sense that was ignored it blew to nuclear proportions

i think it's a bit old too... i noticed a bright "star" near the moon the other night, and it didn't look like mars or jupiter so i guess it may have been saturn and that would have been probably about a week ago

there is a very important lunar conjunction coming up 25 june 2025, if you are interested in that sort of thing, it matches up with the description from the Vishnu Purana of marking the end of the "Krita age" which is aka kali yuga

until someone devises an effective network broadcast distribution and data consistency strategy

also, i'm not gonna hold my breath waiting for most clients to implement "optional" "draft" NIP-42 which should by now be both mandatory and in production, there is just going to have to be leadership

why would you store a spammy note? or you mean maybe like a bayesian spam probability value... still even there, you'll set a threshold and drop those ones, and clients aren't going to implement such spam filter confidence value settings any time soon unless you build/fork one that does

the rest can be filtered out using a regular filter, though you need to create a second mode for filter matching that is a blacklist, the standard filter mechanism is a whitelist match...

this is something that probably even needs to be properly formalised, i saw someone made a NIP proposal, maybe it's NIP-66, that uses a ! prefix to negate matches, could be extended to filters to have negation in the filter fields - though again... needs to be in the client side also, although there is some reason to apply these based on privilege or other things that may relate to a user account (eg, don't ever send NSFW tagged option in a relay subscription config)

making a small change to how the keys are stored so that kind 5s come up alongside the respective event, then it comes up in the query process no flag required, just the kind 5 has a key that matches the event it deletes, and then the filter logic applies, if there is two matches on an event it triggers to check for the kind 5 in the pair and omits it from the result unless the user is authed and privileged

if there is no delete in #nostr, there also should not be replaceable events deleting old versions

my relay doesn't delete

it has delete but nobody sends them out and no clients have a button for it

a delete event will anyway be just a tombstone, meaning it should show "event deleted" in the interface but may or may not actually delete it, but should not return it to anyone except maybe the owners of the relay

deleting old events, especially replaceable ones, is something that does need to happen eventually... there is only so much storage on a relay...

i am currently working on a connection to an external database storage and implementing the relay local database as a cache instead of primary store is a big part of the work that will be done from march to april

i'm not really a big fan of the data store we will be using, but after this project is done and out the door maybe someone will see the sense in sponsoring me to bring #pnyxdb to production - this is a distributed database that has moderately weak consistency and can keep together a cluster of around 200 nodes, which is the biggest distributed database cluster size ever

https://github.com/technicolor-research/pnyxdb

i think actually that the protocol of #pnyxdb could turn out to be the solution for an even larger cluster replication strategy for #nostr - it builds on web of trust and has a broadcast mechanism and a quorum system that is subjectively computed based on the web of trust

i just learned that #pnyx is the name of a hill around athens that has been a historical gathering place for democratic assemblies

yep, that is very annoying, at least it wasn't 500k like happened to me once with #breez and why i shit-talk about breez all the time

i think i tried to get a job with them before that... shame they didn't take me up on it because i spent two years digging into btcd codebase, same programmers who wrote LND which is one of the biggest causes causes of LN's brittleness

oh, they support AMP, but almost nobody uses it, and actually it's just a path composition algorithm the nodes in the path don't give a shit they just unwrap their piece, decode, take the sats, and forward it on

AMP and Keysend are two elements of the protocol that don't get nearly as much effort as they deserve to considering they solve most of the problems of the protocol except for adding redundancy

thanks for tagging your shit appropriately, still gonna readd you to my 10002

lightning's source routed model is inherently brittle

i spent last year working on turning this into a network relay protocol like tor... the only solution i could figure out for solving the brittleness problem was by using a similar idea as Atomic Multi Path AMP lightning sends, which are not yet well supported

they basically send the message over several paths at the same time, so they cost a lot more in bandwidth but it's a further step beyond AMPs because AMPs split just to reduce the size of each payment along their respective paths

the equivalent in LN would be where you make the same payment several times and whichever one wins the rest are ignored, but based on the current protocol that would be hard to enforce if two paths win for the receiver to not claim all successful paths

but for data routing it doesn't matter, of course, job done, even if two out of 3 got through that's better than zero out of 3

it's brittle, not fragile, the robustness comes from the size of the network

individual channels are brittle, meaning they have a sharp point between working and broken

i wish i could drink raw milk... best i can do is pasteurised

russian/bulgarian style "child" voices

btw, bart simpson's voice is a woman

lol... before you waste your time looking at apple spin, might help you to actually understand what the signal protocol is and how almost all the E2EE systems already do everything tehy are talking about except without the "post quantum" hooey

because, actually, i personally doubt that quantum computing is gonna matter until at minimum modular nuclear reactors are the norm, that's how much power it requires

and i seriously doubt that even then it will work because all forms of nuclear fission reaction produce masses of heat and that's the enemy of quantum computers, which need very low temperatures

the only way that quantum computers can happen is if we figure out antimatter energy, and by that point, well, i would argue that we won't be trapped on this planet either

hey, if fizzy drinks are made with CO2 and release CO2 then surely they should be cracking down on these poison vending polluters a bit more loudly???

cocacola? pepsico? lol, seriously, haha
