Privacy is normal :) wot.yesnostr.net

I had a public relay in mind. But I am glad you pointed out the specific community relay, I was thinking about how to set this up, but from the way a user mostly interacts with nostr (lets say amethyst, primal, damus) there is no obvious way to define "this note is only for relay xyz", unless you wipe out the relay list, only add the one community relay you want to post to, create the note, then add all your relays back again.

So from my perspective all relays in the end become general relays at some point, since people just have all of them set in their client. So in the end relays are more of a redundancy setup (you post to more of them if one goes down) then a content specific setup. Or am I missing something here?

Unless you have seperate npubs with different relays set up. But most users will want to have one npub across the board probably...

But yeah, my original question was if public relays are needed, since there is plenty of them out there. I will always run a personal relay and I am currently in the process of setting up a wot relay. So is there a need for more public relays really at this point?

But one could design it better. Lets say we buy the idea we need an inflationary currency (I don't, but just for arguments sake), I would design a provably fair lottery system that draws a random individual per week that receives x amount of currency, inflating the supply at some accapted rate. That would be a much less toxix design.

The toxicity of the current system derives from the hidden nature of it, the sneakiness, the evil, the warmongers that control it... It it was more open and algorithmic it wouldn't be nearly as bad.

Depends it the relay allows deleting. Not sure how primal is setup though, but I would guess it more depends on which relays you are writing to...

Yes, they are very persistent. Im quite amazed actually there aren't more.

Yes and yes

Why and why? ๐Ÿ˜…

Oh ok, so more of a brand thing. I was thinking you maybe hate the touch screen ๐Ÿ˜… I'm in the camp of not caring about the brands, just want a car that has nobs and physical buttons

#asknostr Does #nostr need more relays? I have the capacity to run a big fast #relay. Should I do it? Is there a need for it?

Why not? Because of musk or because the car sucks? :)

Yeah it aint looking great ๐Ÿ˜… Maybe nostr will make a difference in the long term.

Nobody cares about gold in my circles, so I have no clue on that...

#AskNostr

I've been trying to figure out a visual exercise to help really seal in the "will someone find my private key if they keep guessing" problem.

Obviously, the 3brown1blue video about SHA256 is amazing. The best I've seen yet, but I have an add-on:

I want you to imagine a large piece of paper:

```

.

```

It is wide and long.

There is that small dot, that is the cumulative size of all of the private keys that will ever be created in a million years.

Of course, our private keys are RANDOM, and random sounds cool, but it is cooler than you can imagine.

Random means that our keys are spread across the whole page, each individually so small, that the page just looks blank. Individual keys are so small that they don't show as dots, even if you used a magnifying glass.

No single key is even a physical inch from another in that space.

If we started from a single point and tried to do a spacial search for the next closest key, it would be outside the observable universe... By that, I mean that we would waste an infinite amount of time exploring in precision, discovering blank after blank and never discovering a used key.

If we tried to use a random method, we would also hit blank after blank.

Random has this interesting property where it treats every location it could ever hit as an equal chance.

We just established that every key that anyone might ever create (including random guesses trying to find existing keys) in a million years is barely a visible dot. The chance that any single guess would hit a BLANK space is just so high, it is basically guaranteed EVERY-SINGLE-TIME.

This extraordinary mathematical phenomenon is used in many places for many things, not just bitcoin, and we have never observed a collision for a 128 bit number space and it is theorised that it would take hundreds of millions of years of constant guessing to EVER discover a single key twice (and even then, it would probably just be a rediscovery of one of your guesses, an unused key, so it would be a useless discovery).

Let me know if that analogy helps. ๐Ÿš€

Mindblowing ๐Ÿคฏ

Ce je drzava zraven bo itak fail ๐Ÿ˜… Imas kak link do tega projekta?

How do you login to the web client usually? Via browser extension?

To do it via a web client (like primal, coracle, etc) you would have to add your umbrel relay to your relay list, but that means you also have to expose your relay to the internet (nat/portforward on your router) and then either use the public ip or setup some domain.

So your goal is to just have a private copy of your notes or for others to see them as well?

If one of these 5-6 people is willing to have a pc on at home 24/7 thats the best and also cheapest solution. Just pick one of the relay implementations that support npub whitelisting out of the box.
