I never really got taken on rides like this as a kid, so it's fun to experience some of them alongside my kids.

Beautiful day today.

Where am I?
NIP-51 describes having a tag in kind 10000 notes to mute threads. Would that mute the original note at the root, too?
Nope. It's still there. Figured I would leave it as an encouragement to address the issue in any clients where it is still stuck at the top of the feed.
Heck, if I could do it by accident, then someone else could absolutely do it on purpose.
What note could you possibly be referring to? 😂
Depending on your definition of "easy," yes.
Nostr onboarding isn't too bad with nstart.me + whatever client you want to have them try first. Would like to see more options, though. Particularly want to see options that help new users to bootstrap into a web-of-trust based on who they know that invited them to Nostr.
There are too many variables for Bitcoin to make a specific recommendation. Are you wanting to get them set up with a wallet for zapping or for stacking, or for something in-between? Are we talking less than 100k sats for making Lightning transactions, or up to a few hundred thousand sats, or up to several million sats? What I recommend is going to be very dependent on what the use-case is.
Not sure what you are asking. If you have set up Primal wallet then you should be able to access it by tapping on the icon in the bottom center of the mobile app, which is a circular icon with a lightning bolt in the middle. Here you will see your balance, the options to send and receive or scan a QR invoice, and your transaction history.
If none of the above appear, then there is probably a prompt to set up Primal wallet that appears instead.
Amber probably isn't set up to automatically log you in for each of those apps anymore after the reinstall. Next time it pops up, you'll probably see an option to "Automatically sign for this" that is currently set to "Never." Change it to how often you prefer to be asked to approve signing for that action, or you can have Amber always automatically sign for it.

I am using Nextcloud, which is open source and which can be accessed by an open protocol called WebDAV. Any application that "speaks" WebDav can be used with my Nextcloud server to access my files. It's pretty awesome.
Now, when it comes to something like Citrine, that can only store Nostr notes, which are all just json text files. You would need something a bit more versatile for storing other types of files, like a Blossom server. Of course, you would also want to have the ability to encrypt those files. I don't think Blossom would reject encrypted files, but encryption and decryption is done client side, so you would need to have a client that can encrypt the file before saving it to the Blossom server.
Now, things get really complicated when you start dealing with multiple keys and encryption. For any "key" that you want to have access to a file, you need to have a separate version of the file saved that has been encrypted to that key.
The other option is to have one key for encrypting files that gets shared to each user you want to have access to that file, but then you need to have the encryption done on a per-file basis, and have a way to securely get that file's key to the users you want to have access to the file. You cannot use the same key to encrypt multiple files or else giving the key to a user so they have access to one file will give them access to all files that use the same key, which may not be desirable.
I think you may not have a clear understanding how nsecbunker works. When you create a remote connection with nsecbunker, it's not really a "child" key that signs instead of your nsec. Instead, it's a separate set of keys that are only used for passing messages between an app that is requesting a signature and your signer application. The "payload" of the message being sent from the app to the signer is an unsigned Nostr note, and the signer then uses your regular nsec to sign it, not any child key or "action key" or anything else you want to call it. Your nsec is the only key that can sign Nostr notes for you, even when using a remote signer. Then the signer app just uses its key to send the signed note back to the app that made the request.

Going to try for a #MinecraftMonday stream again today. Last week we had to bail because the server had to be taken offline.
Will aim for 2:00pm PDT (2100 UTC). Need to build up a stash of spare gear to replace what I lost in the Nether during my last full stream.
Hope to see you then!
11GB? I have full 1080p HOURS LONG movies that are a fraction of that size. Something tells me you have some optimization to do before sharing that to the web.
That said, for storage of large media files, you'll probably want a paid account at Nostr.build. You might be able to host it on a Blossom server, if one allows that large an upload.
> "I am not sure how much the total users of smart phones have their own cloud. I would guess, not too much."
You're absolutely correct there. The question you asked was "Would you switch Anon?" So I was answering from my own perspective. I would not, but that doesn't mean it wouldn't be useful for those who won't or can't run their own home server.
> "Also having such thing, would allow you to have such servers locally, and use it transfer files e.g. between your devices without internet."
If you're going to run such a server locally, it's probably best to just run a home server. That said, I could see it being easier to just run a program on your PC that turns a directory on it into a local cloud that can be accessed by other devices on the local network.
> "The cool thing about having a layer like this, with the nostr level abstraction, is that it is easy to switch, and gives superpowers to apps with interop."
The power of protocols, for sure! Build an app that "speaks the same language" as the server that has the data, and your users can easily connect your app with their data, secured with their private key.
Not sure I would want to tie something like this to my Nostr keys, though. Or at least not to the same key I use for social media clients. We've seen already that keys can easily end up compromised, and if using this with encrypted file storage, a compromised private key would mean anyone who got access to it would also have access to your encrypted files.
Yes, that would make it less convenient, but it also depends on what types of files you are storing and how destructive to your life it would be if they were accessible by a malicious actor.
Encrypted storage of what? Files? That would probably be via Blossom rather than Nostr.
Thing is, if I want to have private and encrypted file storage that I can access from anywhere, that's what my home server is for. Don't really need a "cloud" option except perhaps as a redundancy, since I run my own "cloud."
I use Blossom to store files I want to share with others on Nostr, so encryption isn't necessary for that use-case most of the time. The exception would be for sharing a file via DM that I ONLY want the receiver to have access to.
Nostr.band leverages their aggregator relay to try and find ALL notes on all relays, and probably isn't doing any filtering of kind 3 follow lists. This means they will always display a higher follower count than a client that looks at only a subset of relays.
My count there is definitely higher there, but only by about 25%.
Muting key words is already part of NIP-51, which defines a kind 10000 note as a user's standard mute list, which can contain the following types of mutes:
- npubs
- words
- hashtags
- threads
Thing is, not all clients support muting all four of these things. So some clients will not support muting words, while others do.
You know all the different biomes in Skyrim? Yeah, that's all here.
nostr.land is a recent but powerful addition to the paid relay space.
nostr.wine has a few different options, depending on what you are looking for and has been in operation for some time now.
jellyfish.land is another relatively recent arrival worth checking out.
It's a bit of a rough start for new users one way or the other. If all they have access to are free relays, then they will see a lot of spam early on that could cause them to just give up, especially if the spam is the only engagement they get.
I also use paid relays, and WoT relays, and my own Haven relay. So yes, I agree that there are solutions people can take advantage of. However, these solutions disadvantage new users who are just trying Nostr out for the first time.
No, they are two different things. I think Coracle leaves them out intentionally. They add nothing of value to the original post, while quote-posting gives the opportunity to add your own comments.
I am halfway through my tutorial series, "The Android Elite Setup," in which I walk the reader through setting up a source for Nostr apps and other open-source apps on Android (nostr:npub10r8xl2njyepcw2zwv3a6dyufj4e4ajx86hz6v4ehu4gnpupxxp7stjt2p8), Amber signer app, a Nostr client (nostr:npub142gywvjkq0dv6nupggyn2euhx4nduwc7yz5f24ah9rpmunr2s39se3xrj0), a zapping wallet, Pokey for notifications, and Citrine relay.
I was planning to use nostr:npub1h2qfjpnxau9k7ja9qkf50043xfpfy8j5v60xsqryef64y44puwnq28w8ch as the wallet for setting up zaps, but given multiple recent challenges with Coinos, I am considering switching it out for a different wallet.
Should I instead put nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5 (with the new eCash support for those without a self-custody lightning channel just released in version 0.11.0), or perhaps nostr:npub1kvaln6tm0re4d99q9e4ma788wpvnw0jzkz595cljtfgwhldd75xsj9tkzv, or should I just continue as originally planned with Coinos, since it is still the most straightforward option? Other suggestions are welcome, as well.

Sorry, 195 npubs and 1 muted hashtag.
Don't blame you on that particular hashtag, either.
So, it looks like there are 196 npubs on your mute list that are not encrypted at all, visible to anyone who cares to look. Then there is a chunk of encrypted information in the "content" tag that likely includes other npubs none of us can see, but you alone would be able to see if you go to your mute list in your settings on Amethyst or Coracle. Damus will not show these encrypted entries on your mute list. Most clients don't.
Got this reply 3 times. 😂
Interesting that Ditto renamed sats to zaps...
nostr:nprofile1qqsqgc0uhmxycvm5gwvn944c7yfxnnxm0nyh8tt62zhrvtd3xkj8fhggpt7fy is this intentional to try and rename sats, or are we meant to understand that the zap total is 84 sats?
Indeed. There is one major downside to it, though.
One of my favorite clients is Coracle, and the reason is because it has built in WoT filtering. However, the scoring for this feature is based on how many people you follow who also have followed a particular npub (adds to that npub's score), vs the number of people you follow who have muted that npub (subtracts from their score). If your mute list is encrypted, Coracle cannot use it for this purpose.
A middle ground that might be workable would be to not encrypt mute lists, but relays won't display other users' mute lists to just anyone. Only those within the author's web-of-trust can access them, enforced by AUTH.
Just an idea, and probably too complicated to actually implement. 😂
Everything you upload to blossom.band will show up in your nostr.build regardless of which client you use to do it. They are the same thing.
Alas, the folks at Phoenix Wallet have not deigned to grace us with their presence on Nostr.
And you are correct, Phoenix does not work for receiving lightning payouts from OCEAN, because they don't support the description field properly.
Your option for self-custody payouts is running your own CLN node, and your custodial option is nostr:npub1h2qfjpnxau9k7ja9qkf50043xfpfy8j5v60xsqryef64y44puwnq28w8ch.
Our fellow nostrich nostr:npub1h2qfjpnxau9k7ja9qkf50043xfpfy8j5v60xsqryef64y44puwnq28w8ch has a guide for the latter:

I meant to tag nostr:npub15ypxpg429uyjmp0zczuza902chuvvr4pn35wfzv8rx6cej4z8clq6jmpcx on that second one, but I guess I still had Coinos' npub in my clipboard...
Not really. That's still just option 1, but with a naturalistic explanation for why society arrived at the current state of prevailing opinion. The highest standard of morality remains nothing more binding than maintaining the status quo set by society at large, and that means there isn't really anything binding at all, since the prevailing opinion of society can and has changed. The next non-conformist movement may be temporarily seen as immoral, but come to take the crown as the predominant opinion of society, proving its evolutionary advantage over the opinion it supplanted. Does it then move from being immoral to moral due to having become the prevailing view?
Hogwash, all of it.
untype.app is close, but only stores notes locally until you want to publish them. Same with Comet.md.
I want to be able to start working on a note on my desktop, then go to the coffee shop and continue working on it on my laptop, and add screenshots or pictures to it directly from my phone...
For Android, Coracle has a native app. Solid client all around, too, not just regarding outbox.
OSX I would just use Coracle on web. Not sure what clients are available for Mac specifically. Maybe Gossip? nostr:npub1acg6thl5psv62405rljzkj8spesceyfz2c32udakc2ak0dmvfeyse9p35c
Also, any friends you have on iOS can use Keychat, then navigate to Coracle.social within the built-in web browser.
