Any other developers feeling a bit depressed after vibecoding? I am faster thanks to AI, but it doesn’t really feel good…

#asknostr #vibecoding

Which client, in your own opinion, has the most clearly presented text threads?

#AskNostr

My honor. Ambitions can be changed, desires can be fulfilled and forgotten. My integrity will be with me until I die, so I need to nurture and protect it.

If I want to build a public relay, anyone can use for free, expecting pretty large usage, what do you recommend?

#AskNostr

Looking great!

From an end user perspectve, whats the difference between a nostr app that was vibecoded but works vs an app that was written by a developer but is barely functioning?

#asknostr

any plans to add the qr login for nsec bunker? i like that the nostrconnect:// links open the primal signer

who built this site? it's really good.

#asknostr

Breathe, breathe in the air.

Don't be afraid to care.

Unable to zap😰

What’s everyone’s favorite nostr apps?

how does nostr track who zaps who? #asknostr

Nostr doesn’t track zaps at the protocol level.

Zaps are inferred by clients by correlating Lightning payments with Nostr events.

Here’s the exact flow,

1. Zap request (Nostr side)

User A clicks “zap” on User B’s note or profile.

User A’s client creates a zap request event:

kind 9734

Contains:

pubkey of zapper

pubkey of recipient

note ID (optional)

amount (msats)

comment (optional)

This event is signed and sent to relays.

2. Invoice generation (LNURL)

User B’s profile has an LNURL / Lightning address in metadata.

User A’s client calls that LNURL endpoint.

The endpoint returns a Lightning invoice that includes:

The zap request event encoded in the invoice description or metadata.

3. Payment (Lightning side)

User A pays the invoice.

Lightning itself is blind — it doesn’t know about Nostr.

No identity is revealed on Lightning.

4. Zap receipt (bridge back to Nostr)

After payment:

The LNURL server verifies payment.

It publishes a zap receipt event:

kind 9735

References:

the original zap request (9734)

the invoice / preimage

recipient pubkey

This receipt is sent to Nostr relays.

5. Client-side reconstruction (this is the key)

Clients infer “who zapped who” by:

Matching 9735 (receipt) → 9734 (request)

Verifying signatures

Checking pubkeys and note IDs

Summing amounts per pubkey

There is no global ledger.

Each client independently reconstructs zap history from events it sees.

Important implications:

Zaps are soft-consensus, not canonical.

Relays don’t enforce zap validity.

Different clients may show different zap counts.

Fake zap receipts are possible, but good clients verify:

-invoice hash

-preimage

-LNURL domain

-signature chain

Nostr = intent + attribution

Lightning = payment

Clients = accountants

you can create custom zap analytics, trust scores, weighted zaps, or verified-only modes without touching the protocol.

What's the du jour relay implementation to run a Nostr relay for a community? nostr-rs-relay, strfry, nostream don't seem to have received updates in quite a while. Looking for something that ideally comes with a management UI/API as well. If it doesn't exist, what to best build upon? #asknostr

What should I be working on with my free time? I have the urge to create something or learn a new skill. Help guide me toward a productive/valuable use of my time in this ever changing world. #AskNostr

What is the difference between the new and old message system on #nostr ???

How do I know if my client is on the new or old?

#asknostr

Imagine you were totally surveilled but did not know it. Lived your life as freely as if no one were watching.

Contrast that with living your life as though totally surveilled even though no one were actually watching. Just passive data collection in which no one was interested in you particularly. Yet you were super careful just in case, made sure not to post anything controversial under your own name.

You could say the first person is naive, that it’ll come back to bite them. But the second person is already in a prison of his own construction whether the threat turns out to be real or not.

By contrast, the best way to imprison someone is to do so while encouraging him to believe he’s free. That way he never tries to escape. The one who knows he’s in prison must be held there by force.

So there are four possibilities:

1. Believe you’re free, you are free.

2. Believe you’re free, but adopt all the dogmas and limitations as instructed, become the most easily jailed.

3. Believe you’re unfree, force the jailers to expend maximum energy to keep you captive.

4. Believe you’re unfree when you are actually free, jail yourself.

The psyop pushes people to 2 (normies) and (4) paranoiacs. But you really want to toggle between 1 and 3, wherein you live your life without worry and to the extent you personally are involved in some totalitarianism (e..g, covid), you are non-compliant and therefore expensive to those foisting compliance on you.

Any you recommend? I finally set up nos2x and the only recommendations I got were jumble and nostrudel.

I know Amethyst does. I'm not a try every new client kind of guy. Especially the ones I need to put my nsec directly into to use.

#asknostr is no longer useful now that its just 50% spammers gaming hashtags.

I’ve never searched based on a hashtag

Does anyone?

I’ve never posted using them either

Does anyone?

Will trial and error a few approaches

Main thing I am testing is “reach” of podcast short form clips

Anyone knows what a kangaroo taste like? #asknostr

How are you generating that image preview with text?

Some respected speculators are speculating that the USD price for a single #Bitcoin will only just barely touch $500,000 by the end of the year.

Others believe that is an absurd number, claiming 1 million minimum in 2025 and then we never turn back.

Who do you think is right?

Primal question: Is there a way to disable the notification tab for “is/was live”? I don’t see it in notfication settings.

Tell me what pro freedom/independent thinking/awesome movies are age appropriate for my 12 year old. I was never a big movie guy but we've watched Gladiators 1 and 2 the past week. I'm thinking "The Patriot" next. Violence and cursing not of concern, but prefer very little to not sexual content.
