Building on an open standard can be a grind. I'm opening yet another encrypted group proposal, aware of the fact that it will only increase the noise and complexity involved in choosing the correct one. But it's also an attempt to reconcile multiple current drafts to result in a better end result.

Introducing multiple sources of truth by decentralizing the nips repo seems like an awful idea to me. I'm personally keen on the benevolent dictator model, exhausting as it must be for fiatjaf. We need a little dutch boy who can stem the tide of complexity it the protocol itself - and attacks by large entities seeking to capture the protocol.

Allowing anyone to claim to host a canonical NIPs list fractures the protocol and will kill interoperability as everyone will increasingly just do their own thing. In addition, it makes the winner the one with the biggest marketing budget, imagine if Apple announced support for nostr and pointed to their own repo? With a founder in charge we can at least complain, but if we eliminate authority, the whole thing shatters.

Yup. Coracle will lose, because my whole premise is to make people learn nostr, not adapt nostr to what people expect. C'est la vie

Yes, absolutely. It's a case study in how most people value convenience over control/privacy/whatever idealistic thing

nostr:npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn , we gotta catch up too! nostr:note1rwn3s0vtl04c0taqnmyugsurze6yy7tha635p4zd3ugpfs73ck0sk6f8t7

I'm very happy with our progress! Coracle used to be virtually unknown vs Snort. I think we're getting there. Primal though, 🤷‍♂️

Yeah it's a little arcane to be sure

And in fact it already is, via `tos_url`. I strongly support 96 vs 95 and 97 just by the way.

I'd been seeing the first frame of that gif for a while and noticed it gives the exact opposite impression

Aw man, it's imgproxy

😂 here this should be better

Oh, sweet, they're using NIP 32 labels to classify content. IT'S HAPPENING The rating is wrong though, I'll have to update the render logic.
