gm nostr!☕️ I’m a year older today but I don’t understand where all this time has gone😅

I wouldn't actually use me as the model for "paranoid user support," because my opsec is pretty casual these days relative to ten years back. I'd say a standard "reasonably private without being a pain" setup would be to connect to Nostr through the Tor Browser (included by default) running on the Whonix VM images. The Tor Browser by itself is probably enough for most people, but Whonix layer helps prevent network leaks in the event of malware or a misbehaving app, for those for whom those are relevant concerns.

Snort.social isn't (yet) working on Tor (without disabling private browsing mode), but I think they have a pull request up on their git, so hopefully soon. I only mentioned it because I saw it during testing and liked the UX. I'm using iris.to right now through the TBB, and it works fine. Only thing I've noticed missing is the NIP-05 profile field.

I don't really *need* a nip05 yet, because my key has a memorable prefix that's not (yet) trivially brutable. Will add one eventually -- and FWIW I really appreciate the offers from everybody who already reached out to help on that.

Realistically, I think 90% of potential users won't becoming from desktop clients, they'll be coming from mobile, so I think the real key is to build mobile apps that have a checkbox to route their traffic through the local tor instance. IIRC, 127.0.0.1:9050

Well, it’s leaking some metadata I believe but Vishalx has a PR in the nips repo for NIP-38 which is encrypted group chats

Disagree.

NIP-05 is an alias, not a verification.

Eminem has so many great albums it’s insane

Big praise to #[0] !

Astral is getting better every day! I feel bad for reporting tiny things all the time but they get fixed, one by one and the result is beautiful and very fast now, too.

Good and interesting research!

Sharing problems or concerns strengthens Nostr 👍

What happens if you define something in both of them? 😄

The "thank you" fund reward has just been sent out to the following devs for their contributions in getting nostr to where it is today:

All of which received 5,000,000 sats. This list was chosen by me, #[13] , and most client and relay core devs.

Unbeknownst to fiatjaf, me and most of the core devs got together and decided to reward him 100,000,000 sats for creating nostr, without him none of us would be here!

All remaining funds will be put towards contributions to the nostr ecosystem, let's get hacking!
