In many ways, Nostr is the Amateur Radio of digital communication

I probably talk about the bitcoiner content too much, the problem is not at all that we’ve got tons of bitcoiners or that they’re talking about bitcoin too much. More it’s that it’s hard to discover the other people and conversations.

The UX experience is where we need to do work. It’s not so much fun, but it’s what will make the difference.

So when it comes to contact discovery, I’ve always wanted to do something Private Set Intersection. Anybody interested in working on getting PSI for privacy preserving contact discovery that we could use with Nostr?

There’s code which does the first 90% of the work: https://github.com/OpenMined/PSI

Regarding search, my initial thought is throw elastic search at the problem. But then I’m wondering what LLM’s could do to make search better. I think we’d want to have multiple search providers with a common api, the way that Damus and others support plugging in to translation engines. I think the needs of search and indexing are different than a normal relay, and we probably need those broken out in to a separate service or an add-on which only some relays provide.

Do you think it should be a DVM or should a search API have it's own NIP?

Hit some hurdles today but they are all just newbie ones. Once I get a little more of the basics together it'll be hockey stick

Anyone using Apache Kafka for Nostr events?

I'm looking at Redis myself as a simple queue. Not sure if I need Bull or not for this yet

Nevermind, I actually needed to decode and it's available in nostr-tools

Does NDK have a utility to hex encode?

Scrambling around to find a Nostr client that works today for some reason.

When a dev has trouble using an app, it isn't a good sign for your average user

May have just had my last local tomato for the year. Also, maybe not.

Been loving the Nostrasia videos that have been popping up on YouTube

People on Mastodon are going nuts because ChatGPT said it was unethical for an older woman to date a younger adult man.

It's a computer folks.
