most people are happy with what i described a few levels up
you make an offer, people buy, or not... if not, you revise your offer, hopefully you get it right
that's how it works in real life
this other stuff is mushy brained impractical nonsense that has no relation to the market
this is how it works in a market
seller makes an offer
sales are good or shit
price is adjusted, promotions are made
sales are hopefully better
donation model, so called v4v does not work
you set a price, people feel more secure, and if your price is too low, you get bad sales as well btw
it's a guessing game that you can't cheat around with wishy washy socialist fantasies
explain how bitcoin and nostr can become tools of oppression?
centralisation was the way web 2.0 went to shit
and as i have been pointing out, that can be a special tag, not altering any other processes or parsing for anyone, doesn't even need to be a new key
vaccination is the longest running medical hoax since the blaming of disease epidemics on vampires and witches
DVMs are very easy to implement for clients in fact (unless you're paying for the service, that's a little bit harder). See my search implementation here: https://github.com/coracle-social/coracle/blob/master/src/engine/network/utils/dvms.ts, it's only about 50 lines of code.
Have you read my article on DVMs as functions? I think I dropped the link before but it describes what I'm thinking of here: https://habla.news/u/hodlbod@coracle.social/0gmn3DDizCIesG-PCD-JK
Here's how I imagine the DVM search flow looking:
1. Client connects to relay(s) where any DVM that supports search is listening (based on a nip 89 advertisement).
2. Client makes dvm search request on behalf of user by signing a job request, optionally including the relay urls they want to search
3. DVM uses negentropy or some other sync implementation to index the requested relays or a static set of relays.
4. DVM responds with event IDs that match the search
5. Client makes REQ across multiple relays for result IDs
6. Client displays results (if they can find the events)
Step 3 is obviously the difference here. It's a fairly difficult implementation for the relay, because it relies on keeping an index across multiple relays and potentially rebuilding it on the fly for clients.
There are two benefits though:
- Any relay can be searched using any algorithm, regardless of nip 50 support or implementation quality
- DVM caches can be as big or small as they want. If they want to index the whole network, they can, and you avoid duplicate results from querying a bunch of relays using nip 50. If they only want to index a single relay (even a private one), they can. Returning event ids means they're not leaking any information about private data, since clients still have to AUTH with the relay that holds the information.
The idea is that relays are data structures (or names encapsulating data structures), and DVMs are functions. Functions can do *anything* with data. So search is only one of an infinite number of possibilities — very few of which would ever be widely supported by relays.
50 lines of code is a lot more than leaving it to a relay to implement actual search
DVMs are a retarded idea, all databases have to have some kind of indexes and metadata so it's just, IMO, a problem of too much funding going to so many clients and too little going to relay development
i'm aware of that but many relays send out kind 4s (DMs) to anyone who asks for them, and you only need to have the secret key of one side of the exchange and you can decrypt them, this is a vulnerability that needs to be addressed, and the reason why DMs are a poorly supported feature in most clients, leaving people stuck with using shitty trash like simplex and matrix and telegram and discord and all that other centralised shit
i agree, and this is why it's long past time that all clients and relays support NIP-42 and block access to DMs no matter what, without authentication
eating goat only* that is
good luck with that
i'm pretty sure it's len sassaman, dude has been dead for some time now
more than likely if it's another person entirely, they have faked their death and manufactured a new identity, since after all, we only know about the bitcoins he mined until he disappeared, after, well, that could be anyone
and that would be how i would have played it, if i'd been granted such an epic vision
and probably would be sitting pretty in a cabin in alaska or tajikistan in the mountains or in the himalayas sipping goat yogurt, with no mobile phone and an old computer connected up to an ADSL connect at the edges of nowhere
I want to finally announce my new lightning node, and the beginning of the pubkey proof-of-work standard.
*0200000000727d3b67513c916f16975e3bf8f3304cf3fcf0ed855e2ae41888f461*
I have claimed the top spot for the node with the smallest pubkey from pay.lnrouter.app.
(except for this Zero node which has an impossibly impressive pubkey.)
https://amboss.space/node/0200000000727d3b67513c916f16975e3bf8f3304cf3fcf0ed855e2ae41888f461
that is indeed a small pubkey! bravo!

i used to chat with this dude on facebook back in the day, fuckin legend... from georgia, southern USA... last time i was in contact he was busy trying to make weird videos, movies, playing around with making funny wine bottle labels...
and funny enough when i was in bulgaria, by chance i bumped into an artist who did this stuff:
https://mahorka.bandcamp.com/album/escapism
https://mahorka.bandcamp.com/album/never-seen-a-sky
who i met randomly because i was sleeping in an underpass and a dude i had randomly met on facebook was showing him the nightclub venue that was next to my at the time sleeping place
i met other people due to this connection but i seem to have been magnetised to the direct best quality artists in the city of sofia from the get go...
i'm sure that i'm gonna have fun at bitcoin atlantis because of this... my spidey sense never fails me
100% only
you'd be surprised how good these taste once you get used to them
they actually have a lot of natural sugar in them, like 15% or so
wen grow long hair hu hu?
mine is now down to the middle of my back, and i'm not gonna cut it until it actually becomes a problem day to day (i don't count it sticking to my sweaty back at this point)
i've got 2kg of cacao butter coming in the post
the sugar and brown parts can gth
i like the idea as well but it's actually not a choice at this point... i was about to go blind from type 2 diabetes, and a slight recurrance in the last week has kicked my arse and i'm taking the hint
everyone loves rib eyes
i just buy a whole lower side of a goat very roughly chopped into slices and learn to eat meat off the bone
i'll even try to get reverse tethering set up on it so i don't even need to enable wifi on my router and can stay radio free, except for the 2g on my senior phone
that's what they are callng them now btw: senior phones
i'm a senior, senior enough hehe
i'm gonna have a 2g, voice call and SMS only "senior" phone and gonna be very glad to put my "smartphone" in a metal box when i'm not using it, at fucking last
you are being played if you think this device makes your life better
it's just a glorified cattle tag, with enough addictive features and propaganda programs to make you think you need it so you keep using it
i'm done with these devices
best part is gonna be turning off my wifi except when i need to enable it to do my banking and online payments
