Bro I was obviously being a bit sarcastic 🤙

But in all seriousness, “i can post, yes, because how it works, but i cannot load all the posts and media i should: because of how it works.” >> this means nostr is up, not down.

On X, which was down, not up, i could not post at all or load anything new.

That’s the whole point of nostr: it cannot be unilaterally shut down by a single outage/attack/etc.

I’m a bolt12 noob i will have to look at the spec again

Just need a way to include a some data (a zap request nostr note) when fetching a bolt12 invoice. Not sure if thats possible nostr:npub179e9tp4yqtqx4myp35283fz64gxuzmr6n3yxnktux5pnd5t03eps0elz4s

With lnurl we include this in the deschash (cln stores the original). So we can retrieve it when the invoice is paid and then we can send the zap.

Lets hope it stays down

Funny that a lots of zap verification are failing because of cloudflare and dependence on lnurl. Maybe we should make that nostr native somehow with bolt12 zaps.

If Nostr is down then how are you seeing this??? CHECKMATE.

nostr:npub18m76awca3y37hkvuneavuw6pjj4525fw90necxmadrvjg0sdy6qsngq955 is working perfectly for me.

X is down. Nostr is up.

Currently we're using a fixed set of relays in bitchat which is only a temporary solution. We could let users edit their own relays but 1) users don't know what relays are and 2) if users have no overlapping relays they can't talk to each other.

Here's a solution that we came up with. I'd like to know your thoughts. We're going to crawl a long list of relay URLs every 24 hours. This list will also include their estimated geo locations, also updated every 24 hours. This could be done in an automated GitHub runner.

That list of URLs plus their geo locations will be embedded and shipped with the bitchat app. Users who join a geohash channel will use the five closest relays based on the geohash location of interest.

This solves multiple problems at once:

1) relay centralization

2) privacy

3) speed

4) maybe censorship resistance?

What do you think?

Yes

A neutron star merger event observed in 2017 produced an estimated 10 earths worth of gold. These are pretty rare though, so gold blocktimes are on the order of millions years… now thats proof of work!

Anyone who thinks otherwise is wrong

How do you call someone a nigger in Bitcoin and Math?

Universal languages that I know of:

music

Just read Satoshi’s emails and realized that whoever the Satoshi is/was , they are not likely to be of Japanese origin. If they are, they definitely have a very high English language proficiency and lack any Japanese mannerisms in their text. That’s an interesting discovery for me 🐶🐾🤔

How about a wine barrel?
