If you need anything πŸ‘‰ please don't hesitate!

Can't wait to try Seeker.

And yes, let's meet in #twoweeks πŸ˜‰

Indeed, drawing this notification UI as we speak and it's not easy to solve.

Exactly why I'm looking for less weird and confusing options.

Or why I'll probably accept very soon that anything can and will done on Nostr, that the simplest option wins and that I'd better make the UI work 😜

Yup, great "thank you" UI's is πŸ’― part of my #V4V toolkit.

More interactive would be better though:

I'd really love a quick way for the zapped to signal to the zapper "I've seen this and appreciate this".

Something like giving a "πŸ™ " reaction to a the zap. If you think of something there, lemme know πŸ˜‰

Aight, got it! Thanks for clarifying the approach sir πŸ™

I'm diving deep into designing for #V4V, making me very curious for everyone's strategies. Specifically on the feedback users get after zapping. And since you're an out-of-the-box thinker πŸ˜‰

Had no doubt about the App-first focus and I'm not insinuating "paid-only feature sets and separate user classes".

The first cohort of Sovereign Engineering was amazing.

When I went to nostrica about a year ago, I felt a profound sense of being among "my people". This is something I've never experienced before.

When I signed up for Sovereign Engineering I expected it to be something like two months of nostrica; two months of being around "my people".

But it was SO MUCH MORE THAN THAT.

The vision that nostr:npub1l2vyh47mk2p0qlsku7hg0vn29faehy9hy34ygaclpn66ukqp3afqutajft nostr:npub1dergggklka99wwrs92yz8wdjs952h2ux2ha2ed598ngwu9w7a6fsh9xzpc nostr:npub10p5gc8ehreaey0v4x6xf9xxv5pkpas9gn65f02scr0tqpygjrl4q2900zw and nostr:npub1tdc9um9kqfp9cqvjqtwswzsvqzdsgzkpn9swamed3286kfwpaljsrr8r0y have is spot on.

Bitcoin and nostr aren't just technologies or protocols; they are a rallying point for people who know we can do better.

This cohort was a gathering of minds determined to throw off the shackles of legacy thinking and accelerate into something new; to contribute to something bigger than ourselves, something that will stand the test of time and make future generations deeply proud to call themselves human.

We are Sovereign. We are Engineers. We are family. And WE SHIP THE FUTURE!

Replying to Avatar hzrd149

exactly what nostr:npub1klr0dy2ul2dx9llk58czvpx73rprcmrvd5dc7ck8esg8f8es06qs427gxc said. This spec only covers three things

1. Identifying files by their sha256

2. Uploading and retrieving files via http

3. Using nostr keys as identities

Everything else should still be compatible with it and could be used to make the servers more censorship resistant

I'm trying to wrap my head around how hypercores (holepunching) fits in or contrasts with this πŸ€”

As in, how would you pull off the file storage of a 3D printable gun in the end?

As Sovereign Engineering comes to a close, I'd like to take some time to reflect on the past few months. It feels like it was yesterday when I was sitting in a Panera Bread in NYC listening to a Nostrovia episode when these guys nostr:npub1l2vyh47mk2p0qlsku7hg0vn29faehy9hy34ygaclpn66ukqp3afqutajft and nostr:npub1dergggklka99wwrs92yz8wdjs952h2ux2ha2ed598ngwu9w7a6fsh9xzpc mentioned a crazy idea to bring a bunch of hackers to an island in the middle of the Atlantic to work on Nostr stuff for two months. At this point I had only recently heard about Nostr, in fact, I was still debating between building on Farcaster vs Nostr πŸ˜…. By the end of that podcast I was hooked, I knew I had to find a way to get myself into the Cohort and start contributing to the future of the web. So I started working on a client, learning all about the intricacies of the protocol as I did. A constant flow of Nostr podcasts streamed into my ears, fueling the next few weeks as I put together what eventually became Flockstr. (Funny enough, Flockstr was originally supposed to be a Patreon/Substack client where users could subscribe to creators and consume long-form content). Once my MVP was done I sent DMs to a bunch of the big names on Nostr to get some feedback. Luckily, despite not having much cred to my name at the time, I got some awesome encouragement from nostr:npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn & Pablo which pushed me to keep going. Fast forward 4 months and now I find myself sitting in a cafe in Madeira, writing this retrospective as I get ready to return home tomorrow.

In that time I've:

1. Turned Flockstr into the first Nostr Calendar events client

2. Built Flare.pub the first YouTube/Video sharing app on Nostr

3. Built Find Me On Nostr a fun little game to spread the word about Nostr and share some sats

4. Contributed to the Nips repo

5. Visited Bitcoin Park in Nashville to meet a bunch of Nostriches like nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx, nostr:npub18ams6ewn5aj2n3wt2qawzglx9mr4nzksxhvrdc4gzrecw7n5tvjqctp424, nostr:npub1yaul8k059377u9lsu67de7y637w4jtgeuwcmh5n7788l6xnlnrgs3tvjmf, nostr:npub1atn7mlwt08erz4ap47gef92xfey65a4z9ed9vec53u5kc9v94pusl6h4x3, nostr:npub1j8y6tcdfw3q3f3h794s6un0gyc5742s0k5h5s2yqj0r70cpklqeqjavrvg, and others

6. Joined SEC-01 in Madeira where I got to work with some of the most capable developers in the space and discuss the future of the web (I could gloat more about my time in nostr:npub1s0veng2gvfwr62acrxhnqexq76sj6ldg3a5t935jy8e6w3shr5vsnwrmq5 but this is a kind 1 after all so let's keep it somewhat brief πŸ˜‚)

7. Created Seeker, an Events app for Bitcoiners built on Nostr ready to onboard the next generation of Nostriches.

8. Presented at Bitcoin Atlantis where I was able to meet some incredible people like nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m, nostr:npub1az9xj85cmxv8e9j9y80lvqp97crsqdu2fpu3srwthd99qfu9qsgstam8y8, nostr:npub16c0nh3dnadzqpm76uctf5hqhe2lny344zsmpm6feee9p5rdxaa9q586nvr, nostr:npub1zuuajd7u3sx8xu92yav9jwxpr839cs0kc3q6t56vd5u9q033xmhsk6c2uc, nostr:npub1jpvsahpy0vgq7gu8nfqjkeskce0gwjk8jpss590xkvjh5xxe4epsruqgsz, nostr:npub1zjx3xe49u3njkyep4hcqxgth37r2ydc6f0d7nyfn72xlpv7n97ss73pvrl, and so many more.

All of that in just a few months. I was just checking my GitHub, and my first ever Nostr commit was Oct 5th, 2023 marking tomorrow my 5-month Nostr-anniversary. It's amazing how much can happen in such a short time. Thanks to all who I've had the pleasure of meeting so far in this journey, I can't wait to see what the next 5 months have in store. 🧑

These beautiful stories will only attract more Zach's and I'm here for it πŸš€

Thank you sir!
