Bitcoin is always way more interesting in the bear season

Easy upsell for relay servers. The ability to see read receipts. The relays have this data inherently. So just save it and expose it to users that are willing to pay for it.

You have 10 of them listed on your profile

Peer to peer has become a meaningless term honestly. It’s all servers. Even holepunch’s p2p Keet messenger is still servers.

I’m still wanting a Nostr architecture that allows me to control who can access / proliferate my posts. Something more like Urbit or Pubky. nostr:npub150rlcxha3efsleq762eawgaxmry8cjtnms63t7ucp9v8v45zwmsq59d063 nostr:npub12262qa4uhw7u8gdwlgmntqtv7aye8vdcmvszkqwgs0zchel6mz7s6cgrkj

Internet money needs to be spam proof inherently. One of the many reasons I like Grin.

They just gotta open it up. The BlueSky invite thing is a bad strategic move. Always backfires.

Pubky reminds me of the Bluesky beta. By the time they launched, I lost all interest.

Sorry im not in the cool kids club

None. Totally open public rooms should be severely rate limited through fairly large proof of work or payment requirements.

Think of public spaces requiring permits for things. Even light poles need the proof of work to actually print and staple the stuff.

For most users, the convenience of not dealing with this stuff is genuinely worth potentially losing a million dollars.

Because:

1. the million dollars didn’t even feel “real” because bitcoin isn’t mainstream as a real currency.

2. bitcoiners obviously underestimate the pain of self custody.

Doesn’t Ark use Lightning as a foundational dependency? If so, using something so extremely complex and fragile as a dependency doesn’t bode well

I haven’t put money in it yet, but I was thinking about it a couple years ago. I just liked the idea a lot. The details of how it works is cool.

I agree. Have you heard of other projects like Kinesis? There has to be more.

nostr:npub1g7lqk25fl24xd0zh7hr8jgp5smdy2eszjh9nmv7z7w85h6xcs9hq4u8yd9 what do you think about precious metal stablecoins?

Remember https://kinesis.money/ ?

It’s honestly a really cool project. I think people are just inherently distrustful of vaults and the auditing process

you can make your account private on twitter. And again… instagram, Facebook, Urbit, many others.

Either way, even if there was a way around it (idk pretend to be someone else and become friends with them?), I don’t think that means you shouldn’t have it.

Nostr just loves to make excuses for poor user experience. “Someone can screenshot your post and share it so it’s pointless to have any privacy at all!”

They had the same attitude about delete functionality for a long time. It comes across as really insecure. Why are we being so loyal to one protocol that is intentionally kneecapped? This is not a marriage. We did not make vows to God to never betray or leave a protocol lol

I worked in this space with the Gun protocol actually. So just little web apps in vanilla JS. My disgust response is too high in general (a character flaw), so it precludes me from investing time into learning a modern UI framework.

nsec bunkers, signing extensions, we knew back then that this stuff is despised by users. It’s sort of a basic level of awareness about UX. You have to really hate your audience to build some of the user flows that you see in most of these Nostr apps.

I could see this being useful in offices. But even then, the deliverability / reliability would be sub par for crucial communications

Every single app built on Nostr has rotten UX. It’s laughably byzantine. Just awful experience to try to figure it all out.

nostr:npub1g53mukxnjkcmr94fhryzkqutdz2ukq4ks0gvy5af25rgmwsl4ngq43drvk I remember this is how the Gun app was originally set up. Is the nostr app the same way today?

Has anyone figured out a UX for relay management that includes this sort of stuff. Like “who hangs out here” info for relay management
