Please announce when you do! It’s the only thing keeping me in OpenAI land

I regularly re-visit old convos and need to be able to search for them to dig them up again. Will local device search be possible on Maple?

“It was just a UX problem?”

“Always has been”

What if someone is verified human and then lets a bot run their account? They can go to a different verifier and prove to be human again. They can have as many bots as there are verifier services.

I think this is the problem that Bright ID tries to solve

Yeah the main question is how to preserve privacy. Seemingly the best way is to just have multiple verifier services.

But the thing is, their ability to truly identify a human accurately would still be inferior to a full Sybil resistant network right? People could share fake credentials and scam the verifiers. I guess multiple verifiers would compete on who could verify the best, but still. The meta game could incentivize the verifiers to allow a few exceptions here and there.

A decentralized solution like the two I linked above (maybe there are others too) might be better

It’s sort of a “car vs faster horse” thing. If you ask people on twitter what they want, they’ll say “less bots”. What if they just want to know when they’re talking to a real human for certain, and a way to optionally filter out all bots in general?

Doesn’t need to become a desperate marketing ploy for Nostr, but it could absolutely be a leg up for the network if a solution like that existed here. Because twitter will always promote spam bots. They increase shareholder value.

I wonder though if something like Bright ID could be implemented in a frictionless manner with a Nostr app though. Linking Nostr ID to Bright ID is simple enough. From there it’s essentially just scanning a QR code in person to verify your friends. Sybil resistance and privacy preserving afaik

Has anyone tried to integrate something like https://proofofhumanity.id/ or https://www.brightid.org/ to a Nostr app? I know linking secondary IDs has been done, but proving you’re not a bot in a way that maintains privacy seems genuinely useful and not just a secondary thing.

I have tried to promote this for Nostr for a while. Is there a reason this same standard wouldn’t work for you? https://webxdc.org/

This is exactly the attitude that makes Nostr suck. The idea that everyone needs to be a creator is what *creates* the noise to begin with. Most people just want to simply hang out and be in community with others.

You have value even if people are not paying for your time. The Libertarian mind is disgusting. nostr:note17aeuaftmevrzftawrg43l3wlr5kescfycurrpgrgk4ctr2gl480qyq6rjp

It’s an app. I don’t think they are trying to necessarily make a full general purpose protocol

Exactly. If ordered by people instead of content, you’d see her at the top even if someone posted 20 times and she posted once

I set it up on a different account I think. Didn’t want to use the same lightning address for two different accounts (if that is even possible).

I find it all very byzantine honestly. The tips aren’t worth the complexity for me. But thank you!

It depends on if someone else has drowned out the timeline. What time you posted etc.

Granted, it’s probably solvable with something as simple as what https://fraidyc.at/ does (order the timeline by recently active *person* rather than most recent content)

I’m confused about what problem you’re trying to solve in that case.

In your view, how is replying “👍” better than reacting with it?

It’s a mode that only works for influencers. Two regular friends are not sending each other money like “hell yeah bro!”

Attaching a monetary cost to every interaction is bizarre and unnatural. A “like” is essentially a high five or thumbs up. Acknowledgement from peers just like you get in real life.

Nostr devs need to figure out if Nostr is for regular people or not. As of now it’s pretty much only workable for influencers with pre-existing audiences. nostr:note1hqjkrgdqfx4ht3vdklja29xzp080zd2hk6x0hlqhyaa7g5hza0ssthmcny

No doubt, I’m not a maximalist for anything. Just want stuff that works
