What's your hot nostr take?
In an ocean of content, one ignorant post is enough to get blocked or muted.
Be the signal, or be forgotten.
Thank you for your concern, but again, the Pubky protocol is already open-sourced, so you are raising the alarm about one repo of unfinished code for a new app that isn't ready for use - AND all of its testing users have access to that code too if they want.
The PKARR aspect itself, one of the most novel aspects, has been open-sourced for a lot longer and has been proposed to Nostr devs for more than a year.
What makes Nostr people interested in other things is simply whether they were made by Nostr people for Nostr people - it isn't science, it's loyalty.
All of the protocol has been open source for months. Literally only one repo is not open source yet because it isnt safe to use yet, and we specifically offered all beta testers access to that repo as well.
You guys keep looking for excuses to avoid this instead of understand it.
I understand why, it is just disappointing.
Vibe check: How much do you actually care about zapping/tipping in your bitcoin-y/nostr-y apps these days?
I wanna invite nostr:nprofile1qyxhwumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmvqyehwumn8ghj7mnhvvh8qunfd4skctnwv46z7ctewe4xcetfd3khsvrpdsmk5vnsw96rydr3v4jrz73hvyu8xqpqsg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q8dzj6n to the Pubky private beta, what's his email address?
Have you thought about how Pubky compares to these? nostr:npub13ndpm2hm9hud4azsq5euhf5mv3d05r90wymwxsd7rdn29609hhvqp60svh
Is the source post gone for this? I can't see what youre replying to
just watched the episode. I strongly suggest nostr:nprofile1qqsgeksa4tajm7x673gq2v7t56dkgkh6pjhhzdhrgxlpke4za8jmmkqpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgqgjwaehxw309ac82unsd3jhqct89ejhxqgkwaehxw309aex2mrp0yhxummnw3ezucnpdejqetk0p4 to start using lightning and start paying for stuff with it ;)
Liar. If you watched the episode you would know I have been building with Lightning since the beginning.
Ar entered Synonym as a frontend web dev and left as a next-web protocol rockstar.
Now, he knows more about the trends, people, and projects in P2P research than anyone.
He is a force to be reckoned with, and if you are strong enough to collaborate with such force, beautiful things can happen.
Pubky is the result of years of arguments and research to discover the very best solutions for digital freedom. Few people could have grinded through it all like we did at Synonym, with Ar.
I cherish the time we had working together, and all that we learned and designed together.
I doubt this is the end of our story, but for now, it must be.
Which pubky engineer is working with neo4j and semantic social graph? nostr:npub17lgcwcpjax0mqnk85e6tcgnn4ae95t6uvg80wuvjg9qhtzwu4uxqcap267
Several, why? When the app is released, it will be open-sourced and you will be able to see how to interface with the indexer.
Sometimes it's simply disappointing to see people respond with prejudice when they don't have any info, nor made any sincere effort to compare anything at all.
Those aren't the kind of people I want to please, so I guess it is a good heuristic at least...
Probably all of your questions are answered in our blog:
I highly recommend reading each post that feels relevant to your questions.
Generally, we created "public key domains" that are censorship-resistant. You sign your DNS settings and place them into Mainline DHT (largest, most decentralized network in the world - it powers torrents).
Those DNS records can point to anything you want for the identity: a website, your posts, your files, your payment endpoints, etc.
Your key also allows you register sessions with one or more "homeservers" which can also be hosted, or self-hosted. This allows key delegation, and cold key storage.
If any of your DNS endpoints censors you, you can simply update the record to point to a new provider, or your own self-hosted server.
All our public code for it is here:
You can get an overview on the code and how it works together here:
You can read about the overall vision of Pubky, and the app we are building for it, here:

You can also find me on any recent podcast, or ask any questions you have to me, or in our chatroom here:
I think you have totally the wrong idea about how to sort a graph.
We already did build something better.
