Nostr Web Client

Sure, but users must know where their notes are by choosing 1-2 relays they want. If they can't do that, Nostr is not much better than centralized Twitter.

I've been using Amethyst for ages. Is this part of the onboarding process now? Are new users prompted to choose?

Look, I get it that with power comes responsibility, but if we're looking to onboard a good percentage or X or Brazil, for instance, the friction needs to be minimized.

If my less technical friends had to pick relays many would stop right there.

Your inbox and outbox relays are for your followers, not for you.

I know, 🤯

The list tells your followers where to get your posts. Not where your app should send/receive yours.

So, the smaller the list the better.

Your app should have an additional setting, separate from the Inbox/outbox setup, where you can add extra relays to save your posts, in addition to the inbox and outbox relays.

So, if you want to send/receive to 30 relays... fine. But don't ask your followers to download/send from 30 relays for each person they follow.

That's not cool.

Users having to configure and understand this isn't going to help Nostr grow. It's going to have to be frictionless.

Or am I missing something?

In most cases almost nothing happened and the nostr community just gets crazy.

UK. Lost its damn mind.

France (and the EU). Lost its damn mind.

Brazil. Lost its damn mind.

Happy to see so many new faces here on Nostr but I’m sad to see freedom of speech being attacked so vehemently worldwide.

I mean to be fair each of those cases is a minority of power-hungry tyrants against an unarmed populace...

In addition to being an "I can't buy hardware wallets" option, SeedSigner is also an "I'm not comfortable trusting hardware wallets" option.

You're not zap-able!

Is it possible for Seedsigner to securely validate its own updates? I do it anyway with CL or Sparrow but I'm sure most don't.

Holy shit, I just realized something else that is actually a significant benefit with stablecoins replacing banking infra that I hadn't considered... stablecoins are a *push* system like bitcoin is. Meaning when you pay for something you aren't giving your personal information out every single time you do so! It really is a lot like the free banking era and i hadn't locked in on that rather important piece of it.

Damn, I wish that had come to mind while i was doing the show. That's another pretty big way that the embrace of stablecoins over traditional banking can be a meaningful step forward, rather than the implied "terrible outcome" that we didn't jump instantly to a bitcoin standard.

Tracy 1y ago

Pull payments are a menace. Can't wait to see this disappear, or at least reined in. I do like the NWC approach of being able to set budgets and limits and imagine this could be the way forward.

But that's a great point and would be worth mentioning if you do a followup or adjacent episode.

There's two main issues with Stablecoins - centralization and the fact they're based on the dollar. The former is something that may be mitigated in time. I wonder if when bitcoin grows to a large enough size and network, if a stablecoin upon Bitcoin will be a reality. Then we don't need to worry about the permissioned system like Tether. The fact that they're based on the dollar is something that will matter until it doesn't. =)

I have to imagine it's on your roadmap to get away from custody and take the natural followup step into Nostr.

I'm chomping at the bit for it, since I'm only signed into Nostr now and can't have a wallet as a result on Fountain, right?

I'd love to be wrong. I want to V4V more!

Thanks!
