Nostr Web Client

Replying to Tarun

Yes. With nostr it seems the default is annon and if you want to doxx yourself you can. Annon is essential. Being verified has a legitimate use case.

Agreed, I now vote for GB colorful full ID jpg/gif content must also pay me 1mSAT per view, to compensate for the bandwide i have to pay on mobile?

No profile pics default, and those who want one must pay u to view there GB bandwide content, will save the planet from useless reloads.

Remider to self: I must write a nip

Replying to Tarun

Yes. I think that means there will someday be a quality to the verification. That is name@goodQualityVerification.com will be more meaningful and desirable than name@noRealVerification.com. Kind of like a Good Housekeeping seal.

Yeah, but that's why i 😎for my usecase of social always want to prefer one from wedontcareaboutIDandchargenothing.com.

If ppl get used to not want to see anon posts, that would be a sad outcome. Imho

It isn’t so much that the pubkey is linked to a social media account, but instead the pubkey key is linked to a user-friendly name-somewhat related to the format of a name@domain. Here the name is the user friendly aspect and the domain is what verified the link between the user friendly name and the pubkey. There is a nostr NIP compliant file at the domain containing the link between the user friendly name and the pubkey. Before sites will include your name pubkey combo on their domain, they want some verification who controls the pubkey. This is often done by posting your pub key on Twitter, presumably doing so shows you control both. If you do the name/pubkey link on you own site-one can see who controls that site. I think this is an accurate description. Definitely interested in someone has a better characterization.

Anyone can run a 5$ domain and attest millions of pubs to names, why would and should they care about verifying anything?

U must be dreaming of an other net, there is no verification, anyone can use any 05 name in nostr, just dns sites responding, for a name with a pub, only ur pub is uniqe. The only thing a nip05 attests, is that a domain has a pub that match a name, the name itself is unprotecable from double assingment ro many pubs

Replying to Tarun

The nostr verification is essentially linking your pubkey to a site that either verifies your identity somewhat (you control both the pubkey and Twitter) or doxxs you at least partially (by linking your pubkey to a site you control-like a GitHub pages. Is that a decent understanding of the NIP?

What verification? A 5$ domain site responds with a pub in a json, that's all, there is no obligation of the site whatsoever,. Anyone can serve x pubs, that's all.

Speed and convenience will always drive incentives, does it matter what relays goodies are being indexed by a certain client if you're curating your own feed? building direct connections with accounts?

What direct connections, if relays would become mirros of the whole net, what is then the whole net? What direct connections without a common server ( relay) are possible? Sure u could and must run for curating ur own posts anyway a server, but will that reduce bandwide? And can u do that on a mobile? Sure clients will be relays and store ur own posts, but to share them behind NAT on a mobile is only convinient possible with Tor. And then why not use tor socks from the tor browser in first place, pub/key auth is in essence transport independent, why use nostr bulk global servers anyway? To find inital contacts? Then one or two global relays would be enough.

this is why nostrgram is my favorite client so far. Besides the nice features, the caching makes it really snappy and fast. #[1]

Twitter is fast 2, if u accept a filtered view, how can u be sure that u see not a censored version of ur and ur contracts server list, relays where always a wrong nomer nostr relays are in fact plain servers, the relay function is in the client, by Broadcast over segregated servers.

That's one of the reasons I created a caching server for NostrGram.co. It caches all the events from the top 100 relays (by user counts) and reads from the caching server to only send a single event stream. Writes still get broadcasted to all configured write relays, but that's a tiny fraction of the bandwidth of reads.

By that nostr would become fast centralized Twitter like cache, no way to know that u or other cache relays cached all msg. From the other. And would not censor...
