Stay strong! Minimalism is timeless! Everything else is just a trend.

…let’s drop a tear for Windows Phone 8, brothers and sisters.

I’ve been working on an onboarding experience that allows new users to leverage an nsecBunker to onboard into nostr and immediately have:

* Keys interoperable with clients

* Sign-in to new clients by typing your nostr address and clicking “authorize this client”, exactly like “login with Twitter”

* Receive zaps to an LN Wallet (with any LNBits provider)

* Send zaps (through behind-the-scenes Nostr Wallet Connect negotiation)

No plugins. No extensions. No “you don’t have zaps, download this other app”

It just works.

This means new users can onboard DIRECTLY into having send+receive zaps without having to do anything.

Merits are in dev right now but here is my understanding:

1. Solve a problem

2. Submit a merit request for that problem for an amount of merits. 1 merit is always valued at 1 satoshi.

3. Current merit holders vote to approve or reject the request

4. Approval creates new merits owned by your nostr identity. This dilutes the pool of existing merits.

5. When the rocket your merits belong to has a paying customer, that payment goes directly to the oldest unpaid merits. This continues round-robin for all incoming bitcoin/lightning payments so that merit holders get paid directly for their work in a transparent and fair way.

6. Merits may be transferred (sold out of band) to someone else in the identity tree.

They must be added to the identity tree by someone in the identity tree before they can claim a problem.

Claimed problems that are unsolved after 3 days will be automatically unclaimed.

Identity tree members can be expunged by vote.

New (duplicate) problems can be created.

Maintainers can delete problems.

looks nice, but is not a relay though 😅 it communicates via relays

Content discovery DVMs integrated on clients will massively improve the nostr experience, particularly how sticky it becomes with new users

MOAR!

Hey, yes of course. I'm currently building an open source framework to easily build and deploy Dvms. Happy to help out!

Thanks again Niel, the designs are being implemented.

Some feedback:

- I think we'll go with just "Username" field at signup (and a small explainer) - no email or password, not even @nsec.app suffix/dropdown. I'd like to make signup as low friction as possible, all the other details can be figured out later when person starts using nostr

- would be great to have a way to show 'warnings' above YOUR LOGIN section (icon + message), like "Please add password to protect your account". We'll be encouraging users to improve their settings as their usage of nostr starts increasing, but won't bother them with complications if they've posted just a couple of likes.

- we don't have good use for email atm, so removing it for now, it will most probably come back later, but only as backup/recovery setting, not required at signup

- no need to show password under YOUR LOGIN screen - password is optional, and might end up as not even a primary method for auth/decryption, so we'll move it to "cloud sync" settings.

Overall this is a great input and progress, thank you!

We will make the above-mentioned modifications to the design ourselves to iterate faster, and will be happy to incorporate any changes later based on your feedback.

wtf are morphic fields? 😆

Like alot of politicians sadly

How do we know it retains memories?

Memories are stores in the brain… mainly not for a planarian flatworm, but yes for most vertebrates

"We have for over half a century regarded our DNA as an immutable set of characteristics, inherited without our consent from our parents and ancestors.

If however, our "genetic" inheritance consists of Morphic fields, which we can alter through our actions and pass on to our children, then the implications are immense."

Morphic Resonance brings back personal responsibility in a more visceral way than Bitcoin ever can.
