I’ll post a demo of the code I have written in the next few days, but I’ve got an esp32 reading temperature data and posting to a relay. I wrote a basic client that can pull in temp data and filter based on time. It’s on GitHub at https://github.com/isaac-asdf/esp32-nostr-client

What came first, the chicken or the egg?

You could’ve done that yesterday when I was consolidating utxos 😭

Critical things like police and military still work, but don’t get paid. So pretty shitty for them. I’m all for smaller government and the funding stuff helps point to how absurd American politics/government is, but it’s unfortunate that people are forced to work without pay

Ah okay. So you’re saying hardware wallet would use the nonce unless it thought the nonce was leaking, in which case it wouldn’t sign. The change is just that software _could_ specify the nonce to use as an additional security measure

It seems like the trade off is to either trust your wallet software to not generate leaking nonce or to trust your hardware wallet to not leak via nonce. IMO trusting the hardware wallet is the better option as that is the device that you are trusting to not be compromised already

Is the goal of this to have a bookmark like feature?

I’m working on an esp32 based project, using a BMP180 sensor to report temperature readings. I’ve got a library written in rust for embedded devices https://github.com/isaac-asdf/nostr-nostd that has a link to that project

I think part of the problem is the word “mining”. It’s really just transaction professing which happens to have a subsidy right now. We should start calling miners “block builders” or something which reflects their function better but that ship has probably sailed

How does Stacks actually work? I tried reading about it online and it just sounds like a scam… how is token issuance controlled? How is supply capped? Why is there a need for a token on top of it? It seems like creating a token on top of btc is unnecessary and just a way for the founders to make money

Left handed mode on Damus is throwing me off, the post button is too easy to click now. Is this what it’s like to be a righty?!

Micropython is a shitcoin… check out the link in my status for an embedded Rust library for a Nostr client. I’m working on a barebones esp32 IoT device using it

Nostr is also just an easier stepping stone for first time open source devs, and offers a safer intro to crypto primitives. I started a nostr project with the hope of adding bitcoin/ln to it once I’ve got more experience

Education and continuous build out of useful tools. Sound money is too intangible to compel people to switch, permissionles and friction reduced value transfer can draw people in though

Is anyone working on relay set switching? It seems like to leverage the uniqueness of relay/client architecture, switching between different sets for different purposes would be the first step. A relay spun up for a conference, a relay for work, one for social, are just some examples I can think of

Are you storing which relay provided an event? I’m thinking it would be useful for relay set switching if using any single relay for a single thing (eg, a work relay, or a relay spun up for a single conference)

Would it be as simple as adding an optional “channel” or “topic” tag to notes? Different clients could then filter and display based on that flag

Users can choose their own client and interact throughout the conference via Nostr. It wouldn’t require any platform changes, although a client with separate channels for different presentations, announcements, etc would be a nice UI
