I mean I will take it into consideration. But what I meant is I will never stop being myself just cuz someone thinks they own my soul. Nah 🤙

is there a shortcut to have “enter” send the message on desktop, as it currently puts the cursor on the next row? 🤗

🇯🇵 HELP NEEDED🇯🇵

I'll be in Japan for 4 weeks starting mid October. I am working on three MASSIVE projects: #bitcoin #nostr & #nuclearenergy documentaries

I am looking for locals who want to be part of the production and help out!

Any help highly appreciated 🧡

Querying stuff from relays is not trivial. I am currently using 8 separate layers of abstraction to build feeds:

1. A websocket wrapper

2. A message buffer to avoid locking up the ui, sending too many concurrent reqs, and handle pausing messages while negotiating auth

3. A target interface which allows for different relay implementations like multiplextr or a local relay

4. An executor that works with a target to actually do stuff

5. A subscription object which queries multiple relays, aggregates results, and tracks which relay an event was seen on

6. A cursor object to perform windowing for a given relay

7. A load function which throttles and merges concurrent filters with a timeout

8. Feed/context loaders that take a filter, listen with a subscription, load using cursors, and fetch context with loaders

If relays always returned results in order it would simplify and optimize some of this away. But it really is irreducably complex.

I'm interested. I can create artwork in the style of these images. Do any of these match your image? And by when is it needed?

if you show up to #Nostrasia having never used the protocol before we will make you an account at the door

who from here is coming to Bitcoin Amsterdam?

looking to meetup

23 days untill nostr in Amsterdam 🫂💜

Well articulated KC.

Well articulated KC.

first time it said you didn't have a wallet address, second time it worked, dang relay latency got me rekt, 😆

Is it just me, or does it seem like everyone is super reluctant to monetize services and relays on #Nostr?

If we can’t make these things sustainable then we will either lose them, or they will stay nothing more than a weird little corner of the internet with lots of hope but no chance of ever scaling.

I still haven’t seen the basic model of zap sharing tried by any major client or relay. But I DO see regularly comments about how expensive relays are. I mean it might not work, but can’t we TRY it?

I want to make the distinction here too that this doesn’t mean we are closing off the network, we are adding permissions to the protocol, this doesn’t suggest at all to used closed source code, we simply need the services necessary to keep this ecosystem robust, to be profitable and have the resources to thrive. If they aren’t, then NONE of this works. Economics is everything.

I know building features is more exciting. I know we all want to make everything that we can free, and I agree all of the *code* should be shared. However, I think there is a natural insecurity (and I say this because I have this problem personally) with charging a fair price, and fearing criticism or the ire of people who believe everything should be free (as in price) when we need things to be free (as in Liberty). They are not the same, and confusing the two could stifle, or drastically slow down, the insane potential of this place.

TL;DR We have GOT to divert some energy to thinking about how to make this ecosystem sustainable, or we will lose it.

(Disclaimer: this isn’t a judgement on whoever is thinking about this problem. It just *seems* like few are. If you are building in this way please share your ideas or what you are trying. I’m extremely interested)

#zapvertising is the future, they said.

gave a local merchant a sats card a few weeks ago & like clockwork he is now texting me nonstop with #Bitcoin questions 🫡
