I love nostr:npub1cc79kn3phxc7c6mn45zynf4gtz0khkz59j4anew7dtj8fv50aqrqlth2hf so much. We're finally living in the micropayment world of the future. The micropayment Wikipedia page needs to be updated with information about Nostr, Lightning Network, Data Vending Machines... and Zaps!! #DVM. ⚡

It will be funny when someone sees this in the distant future and wonders why I thought $100K USD was a "micropayment".

do you know the feeling when a test succeeds when run alone but it fails when run in the pipeline

Nostr data vending machines, specifically nostr:npub1cc79kn3phxc7c6mn45zynf4gtz0khkz59j4anew7dtj8fv50aqrqlth2hf, are amazing! Low friction way to get a quick speech-to-text transcript of an audio file for just a few sats (among other cool things). #dvm Thanks, nostr:npub1nxa4tywfz9nqp7z9zp7nr7d4nchhclsf58lcqt5y782rmf2hefjquaa6q8 and nostr:npub1l2vyh47mk2p0qlsku7hg0vn29faehy9hy34ygaclpn66ukqp3afqutajft! 😎🤖💥

I just zapped⚡ an AI bot 🤖 to create an AI-generated image 🎨 of a robot tapping buttons on phones.📱 And it worked. 🔥 We truly are living in the future. 🚀

I tried to follow you but it won't let me. Says there is an error with the network sadly. But, at least I have an account now.

Welcome!

Strange, it says I haven't posted anything yet? I'm guessing everything is delayed by a lot since this is blockchain based right? 🤔

hugs 🫂 1y ago

It's not blockchain based. It's all just JSON and WebSockets (and flaky, but redundant) relays.

If someone were to develop a new testing service from scratch for today's web and mobile applications...

- What are the biggest pain points in your current testing processes?

- What features would make your testing faster, easier, or better?

- Are there particular integrations or tools you really, really like?

(I don't have a ton of followers here on Nostr, so feel free to repost or share for reach.)

Looking at the damusUITests directory... What do you wish was there? (Which UI should be written next?) Or a better question... should I be asking this on the dev mailing list?

adding new things to a hacked together weekend project can only go so far before it rattles and falls apart. I’m fortunate to have enough support from everyone here to build something new that can scale without compromising performance or decentralization. Im somewhat embarrassed by Damus iOS, i never expected so many people to start using something that is not my best work. Trying to fix that 😅

I really don’t understand why the zapping is regarded to be such as fantastic thing. I don’t care. And I’m 100% i bitcoin. Just don’t get it.

I think zaps are cool because they're a real world example that the Lightning Network actually works and can be used for everyday things.

I'll offer an optimistic take on both of your concerns:

1. I believe that most nostr clients will implement some form of outbox support. All Primal clients certainly will. We are literally a few days from releasing a major update. Once users’ notes are spread out over hundreds (eventually thousands) of relays, client devs will be incentivized to upgrade their clients accordingly. It will take a bit of time, but that’s okay.

2. Nostr being seeded with bitcoiners is a feature, not a bug. To bootstrap a truly decentralized network, we need the initial group of users who understand decentralization and are willing to fight for it. There is no other way imho. The short term price we are paying is that the content is bitcoin-centric, but that’s fine. That will get sorted out over time as the network grows.

IMO, we need to lower our time preference and be more patient. Everything is moving in the right direction.

We don’t need a successor protocol. Nostr is the one we’ve been looking for.

Got fancy and made homemade Devonshire cream and scones for brunch for the first time in a while. Still don't know if I'm #TeamJamFirst or #TeamCreamFirst. Need to do more research. A lot more research. #foodstr

primal is smooth

A little too smooth sometimes, though. That zap button is almost too easy to hit. Almost.
