Now it's time to sleep

aaaand submitted 😉

oh and I forgot to mention that those are all notes on nostr naturally, and I will be creating a simple webui (with a very minimal UI) right after I allow creating threads from the email client, which will allow users to view the threads from a web browser (similar to google groups)

Update on the #mit-bitcoin-hackathon #bitcoindev mailing list project

everything is working mostly

- users can see messages in mailing lists

- can subscribe to multiple mailing lists

- can answer to threads from an email client

- threads support simple markdown, images and non english characters

what's not working right now:

- creating new threads from an email client (will finish this today)

- adding attachments from an email client and linking them to the reply in nostr (I will not be finishing this before the hackathon ends)

(exmple shown from thunderbird, works on any email client that supports IMAP and SMTP)

update:

- looking pretty good, messages are shown in thunderbird, including multiple layers of nesting

- the server mostly seems to be stable

- naturally, we can read the messages

now working on:

- proper message parsing for anything other than 7bit ascii

- basic markdown to html, to allow basic formatting

- SMTP to allow users to reply via an email client, not just via nostr

I joined the hackathon, building a tool exactly for that :)

I decided to join the MIT Bitcoin Hackathon, and the project I'm working on is a nostr to IMAP bridge (and depending on time, SMTP bridge too), in light of what happened recently with the bitcoin devs mailinglist on google groups

this is a regular nostr event (kind 11), being pulled up inside thunderbird (and it will work with any email client)

It was? I had no idea

throughout history, those very moments happen when empires are on the verge of failure, when they turn their gaze inward and begin to fear their own citizens more than external threats. fear of losing control, fear of citizens organizing beyond state supervision, fear of the inevitable.

If privacy is outlawed, only outlaws will have privacy.

yes, but not like in your picture. comments to specific commits, especially when linked to specific files and lines is crucial

Let's build communities on nostr, let's make the world decentralized again!

Two words: KISS Launcher, trust me, you'll never look back. I've been using it for years, and there's no Android launcher that's better. No clutter, just a vertical list of apps, a search bar and pinned favorite apps.

LOTR is already one of my favorite movies, but if it were animated, in the style of ghibli or in the style of shinkai, it would be AWESOME

My community software can, but it's far from perfect right now

I guess this is going to be my next DnD character

what's this? looks interesting

Exactly, couldn't have said it better myself

the argument I like to make is that bitcoin isn't volatile at all. it's only volatile when compared to other currencies that are actually volaitle.

the value of bitcoin never actually changes, 1sat = 1sat

it's the value of bitcoin in relation to other currencies that change.

the usd value of bitcoin only changes when either the government starts to make the little printer go brrrr a little more, or when degens trade too much

Closed Community Networks are one of the best use cases for nostr, and will be increasingly important as organizations seek secure, censorship-resistant communication channels

Congratulations everyone, we did it ~

(It's a Japanese internet thing, because a bunch of eights sounds kinda like パチパチ repeater over and over, which is the onomatopoeia for clapping)

We need to all simultaneously start clapping for the blockchain when that happens, the timechain is asking us to

While I do agree that there's nuance for sure, in the case of what you're referring to it's just a lack of tooling. There's are SOME advantages (mostly in dev simplicity) to having stateless protocols such as HTTP, but the flexibility of reusing a socket can allow building much better (especially better performing) applications.

No matter what there's no case where back and forth HTTP is faster than WebSockets. The only exception would perhaps be extremely well optimized QUIC http servers with literally ideal data sizes (and even then WebTransport or WebRTC would beat QUIC)

It doesn't matter honestly, apple will eventually be forced to adapt

So I have to leave Europe by October, huh? Who's up for buying an island somewhere and creating The Free Archipelago of Satoshia or The Free Relays Federation?

Got it, so you're thinking of nostr as just a twitter replacement I'd assume?

If that's the case then maybe I'd agree with you, but that's the network effect, rather than a technical problem, is it not? Twitter had the same problem at the start, "how do we get people to use this, if people aren't using this?"

Nostr is honestly so much more than just twitter, it's honestly better to compare it to a layer on top of http that handles identity, decentralized data publishing and validation, and it just so happens that twitter (kind 1) apps are among the easiest to develop. Personally the microblogging/kind 1 is the least exciting part of nostr to me.

What I meant by that, in case you're not technically inclined, is that many more applications can be built (and are being built) on this protocol, and with the twitter-clones we're just scratching the surface!
