People on twitter keep talking about google removing the price chart and causing price suppression - They're missing the bigger picture.

Google removed the price chart, funneling people into and promoting pump&dump rugpull schemes such as XRP IN ORDER TO keep people poor and in debt.

If you don't use google AND you stack sats you've got nothing to worry about.

If we can do it all on Nostr, let's try. Built from the ground-up, the right way.

Simplex does secrecy better, just as many other things have done things better than Nostr, at one point or still do.

If I can use my npubs to log into everything, whilst preserving my privacy, degree of anonymity and security, I'd like that and I know many others will too.

It's all about giving options.

It might just get other services such as Simplex to somehow integrate Nostr in one way or another (perhaps not identities, but other things).

At this point in Nostr's development, shooting down possibilities is like suggesting why use Nostr instead of something else.

For the past decade we've had to install tons of apps for tons of social circles with no interoperability.

Let's give interoperability a proper go, perhaps without sacrificing the rest, and we'll see where we land.

Important to note, Start9 doesn't have any networking problems per se, rather they went with a Tor-only approach, whereas many people prefer to expose their services over the clearnet.

With the next version, as you mentioned, they'll be introducing clearnet configuration, for better or worse (I say this as many people don't know how to maintain clearnet infrastructure, but seems to work well for Umbrel so far).

Also shout out for Proxmox - Use it professionally and on all my self-hosted setups, can't go back to anything else.

This is the only way to show them pain.

Mass-exit from Adobe would be beautiful to see.

Flotilla, a Discord-like on Nostr, has some issues just for you.

Check it out.

Anyone run a nostr-rs-relay that could give me a few pointers for configuring mine?

It's been running great for general posting but I've noticed some general slowness particularly on the DM side of things, and certain DMs just not coming through at all or huge (hours) desync when testing on multiple identities.

It's not the only relay I use for inbox/DMs which makes it more odd, but it's the only relay I have control over 😉

Current config:

Running in docker container

min_conn = 4

max_conn = 128

reject_future_seconds = 1800

Not limiting subscriptions currently

Whitelisted to certain npubs as I'm testing

broadcast_buffer = 16384

event_persist_buffer = 4096

limit_scrapers = true

People seem to be excited about my new project, Flotilla. It's still very much a WIP (probably a month out from MVP), but since it's been discovered I figured I'd go ahead and introduce it.

My goal for Coracle has for a long time been to support local in-person communities by replicating Facebook's events, groups, and marketplace. I've come to realize a few things about this project:

- Facebook is not the gold standard. In fact, people hate Facebook.

- There are many kinds of groups, for many different use cases.

- Very small chat groups work for most use cases.

- For almost all other groups, good moderation is key.

- Decentralization for groups works differently from decentralization for microblogging. Microblogging use cases benefit from simultaneous use of multiple relays. Community group use cases (in contrast to reddit-style groups) benefit from a single relay per group.

This is just the barest summary of what I've learned. But it's all in line with my long-held intuition that relays are, and should be, special. To that end, I'm creating a new client built around the dumbest form of communities that can be created: relays as communities.

Lots of code and specs need to be written to make this work, and as with Coracle, it'll be possible to host your own flotilla instance that only talks to a single relay, as well as use flotilla on desktop and mobile as a PWA and APK.

See the dev preview at https://flotilla.coracle.social. If you're interested in contributing, I've created several issues on the repository that should be good for first-time contributors: https://github.com/coracle-social/flotilla/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3A%22good+first+issue%22

Is it correct that I'm unable to login unless I have an account specifically with nsec.app?

Even if I have my own bunker/nostr-event-signer?

I was aware of Whitenoise as a reference client with MLS - Should've realized JeffG would propose a NIP itself.

Thanks for the pointer, hopefully it sees faster/better adoption.

How can an implementation of NIP-17 by different developers be so different to the end user?

I understand it hasn't be widely implemented yet, but clients that have implemented it have issues.

Genuinely curious.

- #Amethyst and #0xchat seem to be the closest in similarity - They both communicate (mostly) fine between each other, and chats are created as they should. I think one thing in need of cleanup is that some messages on Amethyst are received as "template via 0xchat".

- #Coracle almost works, but for some DMs it creates a completely separate group chat when viewed on 0xchat. Further, some DMs are sent unencrypted with no option for encryption (if this has anything to do with inbox relays I'm unsure how when NIP-17 messages can be sent in other clients to/from the same users).

- Not sure what the deal with #Iris is. The Desktop app(hasn't been updated in a while) can only do groups, but these groups can't be joined by other clients. Web is missing this functionality entirely, including beta.iris.

I'd love to onboard other people and suggest "use this on your phone, and this on desktop/web", but we can't communicate.

Not sure if I'm missing something... Or if it's just too soon, even though what's there seems like it's supposed to work.

Can you explain the history on NIP-17 DMs in Iris? I understand there was a bounty for this which was claimed for its integration in Iris (according to https://hrfbounties.org/), but see no functionality reflecting that. Clearly missed those events, so what happened? 😃
