If you understand Dutch, you are in luck!
Was vandaag te gast bij Cryptocast om over Nostr te praten.
Cryptocast | BNR: Nostr moet antwoord worden op dominantie van grote techbedrijven

When listening to the whole presentation, this part made me think of an earlier moment in the day:
where while scrolling through my feed I saw a PSA that you took a bath, with included limb-in-bathtub as proof for those that might worry if this whole bath taking thing was just a ruse.
I included that first bit with āthe point here isnāt to deride either mode of cognition and communicationāā in the clip as a way of it saying its not necessarily critique; just observation.

Just started reading but i can figure this will be good.
This topic is probably the thing I am most fascinated by. Taking this notion of āthe core design was set in stone for the rest of its lifetimeā, the efforts to construct an engine that express that core design seems an obviously worthy endeavor to me.
To take it a step further my imagination always wonders off to the idea of subsequently expressing that core in a Hardware Design Language, and setting the core design into silicon. A āpureā unambiguous formal expression of known connections between transistors. That can be held in some place, like they used to do with āThe meterā and āThe kiloā as a reference of the definition of that unit of measurement; āthis, this is BTCā
Perhaps its because i can pay using a stupid telegram bot.
Also a bit ironic that i pay for an hour of LNvpn; to access torrent sites so i can watch stuff without payingš¤
If there are subscription paywalls i will still either find a leak, or dont bother most probably.
Given the point of all this public 'social media' chatter, is to either seek attention or pay attention; is not the entire endavour of Nostr a matter of search?
Dont forget to timestamp it.
I dont get the canary analogy; the canary is the thing that dies first as an early warning; in your scenario that npub is supposed to die (idealy not at all) last.

In my previous post I wondered about keeping published content available. But what about questions on authenticity? Again, we will ignore key management because I am scared of the topic.
Under the nice comfortable assumption that a keypair is not compromised, a well functioning blossom world, and throw in some Bitcointimestamps for good measure; and I think we can get a decent system where you for the most part can tell if content is authentic or not. It wont be perfect, but there is no perfect solution.
Under the growing threat/pressure of āA.Iā generated content, demand for workable āsolutionsā will grow, and likely manifest themselves in central (trusted) repositories. And by itself, fine perhaps i guess, many matters of authenticity are dealt with in that way reasonably effectively. But my point here is that its so much better if those emerged on Nostr as being just another tool in the fight against fake-TM, than having yet another aspect of platform capture as a reason not to transition to Nostr.
What if this matter of authenticity, became the reason these people come to Nostr in the first place?
āVenjent loves Nostrā
It is known.
Hermits dont travel
Is this the part in of story where you slowely figure out the place is haunted?
The experience is having all those people in one place; the whole conference is just an excuse to get them there. For me atleast :)
How does it figure out where to switch to?
Venjent is a Drum and Bass artist, that appears to have traction. He got attention by way of making shorts with remixes using samples of semi-ordinary sounds from other videos.

And later turning them into full songs.

He clearly is filling a bit of a void within Drum and Bass, which is a sentiment reflected many of the comments on his videos.
All of this got me thinking, what would be needed for an artist like Venjent, to establish himself on Nostr?
The sales pitch for content creators is one of sustainability/robustness in āpresenceā; you can claim a name and build a following on it where you can keep your content available. But is this currently true? Somewhat true? Mostly a promise for the future?
Lets ignore the headache that is key management for a moment (convenient, I know). What about the content? We appear to be settling on blossom; or how a random person once put it:
āIPFS that worksā
But does it? How resilient are those videos that I share in this post? How easy is it for me to host this stuff elsewhere; and how good are the clients in figuring out a different source when the original link is dead? How smooth is it now, and how seamless will it become?
Now I am not arguing that everything has to still be there in a 100 years, and stuff can function fine for a while before initial links break; but what if you want to keep your things around, can you?
And is it actually an important component in convincing content creators to come to Nostr, do they care?
Currently Venjent is on youtube with 808k subs, where his latest release got around 30k views in a day. So he is doing well there. Would be cool to see artist explore Nostr. Perhaps even cooler if at some point in the future, new artist instead of on youtube or tiktok, rise up here.

I guess the point of both is that we dont have to be on the same team
I recon as a male forrest hermit, i can imagine but not relate.
Don't listen to music that often, and when i do its the same song (or album if its good) endlessly on repeat.
Currently its this, but i am slowely getting over it https://youtu.be/E7FU_mqhFGk
Easy there James Bond, just here to tell you MĆ¼nchen would have been better. So is the Dutch version of that song btw:
