Fiddling with nostr things

For me one of the cool things about developing on nostr is that the basic behavior of relays is established, but I can just create or tweak an event kind and seek consensus later.

This would be on the dev, but there’s a trade off. The newest following list isn’t guaranteed to have all the updates. If any client misses a few follows events and posts one, the latest will not be what you want.

What npubs can do is not use too many relays (i aim at 5-7), so that fewer events need to be combined. It will also make things faster in general.

Ok, it wasn’t that bad, but halloumi is always a better option than tofu

You will eat shoe and be happy!

I noticed now my screenshot was actually showing your lightning address, not your nip05, sorry if it caused confusion!

I tried to verify your NIP 05 and it appears that the pleb.lol domain isn’t online anymore. So I think you need to find a new one.

This is not related to your username. With your current nip 05, BitBees@Pleb.lol, Nostr clients will try to call the pleb.lol website and ask for the pub key of BitBees. Currently they won’t find it 😕

I see you got help with your lightning address, but this screenshot was showing your NIP-05 address.

In your settings you will find fields for both. The “bitcoin lightning tips” one is for your zaps. The “nostr address” is your nip-05 address, used to provide some proof of your identity. You can do this with any website domain, but since setting this up on your own website requires some skills, services like Alby and Primal let you use their domain to verify who you are. This is actually making me realize that we need an easy way for non technical people to setup nip-05 in their own website/domain.

And btw, the point of all this is to make it easier to distinguish your profile from a fake one, without needing to compare npubs, and to prove that you are associated with a certain website.

Yes. https://video.nostr.build/371639e304fedcdf69e0e9bb7f7a032af820032b1568b04e0ba6abc46b442b22.mp4 nostr:note1pa305pmf6nzf7v0j6q4k40w0886c9agerplkfw6apmk597zxzk0slwlwm4

Welcome to nostr @ang-mic!

I believe the overall idea is that you have some degree of trust on the people you follow, and they have some degree of trust on the people they follow. The “closer” someone is to you in this graph, the more likely it is that you trust them / are interested in their content, and the more people you follow who follow someone, the more likely that you should trust that person too.

Not super confident on the details though, I’ll be watching the replies to your note 😉

The ONLY reason I can’t use nostr:npub1v5ufyh4lkeslgxxcclg8f0hzazhaw7rsrhvfquxzm2fk64c72hps45n0v5 exclusively for podcast is because of how garbage the podcast index is at searching my own show.

If I search “Bitcoin Audible Whitepaper” then despite 100s of results not a SINGLE episode of my show is even there. If I search the same in Spotify, the episode with the whitepaper is, obviously, the top result.

This has been going on forever and it’s so fucking annoying. I’ve contacted the guys who literally made the podcast index, and have tried to sort this out on maybe a dozen different occasions in the past 2 years, and it’s still complete trash.

TBF, Spotify’s search is pretty awesome: https://engineering.atspotify.com/2022/03/introducing-natural-language-search-for-podcast-episodes/

But you’re right, Fountain seems to naively match on the first search term…

Thanks! Hadn’t heard about it, sounds cool 🙂
