To all those who might think Paid Relays are a gold mine, total revenue to date 80,000 sats - 20 people on Nostr.naut.social - which is fine, to learn how these things work you need real data, but not too much of it :-)
I know, but, sent is sent. It can't be unsent because typo but not unsent because other.
IN PRACTICE there a DELETE request is built into the protocol. Not sure if any apps have implemented yet, but it's a REQUEST, so not enforceable.
My take, most relays will act on the request - it frees up space. Some might only act on ones sent within the hour, which would stop people rewriting history the way they they do on twitter, while allowing accidents to be fixed.
It's all very much a work in progress, but because it's a protocol, interesting things will be done :-)
You can't delete emails either once sent. Nostr and Twitter are different, use what you like. I'm on both.
I just very excited then. Because I live in £, oh well, I can wait :-)
No. Relay by relay. Different relays will have different rules. Report to Disney that which breaches their rules, and to MakeLoveNotGuns the maga gun rights stuff that breeches theirs.
Fear not, all these will come. Though the latter two might be nicely ineffective :-)
Sry, I have no, is it Chinese?
Any Clients support Account switching yet? Work account npub, social npub...
Well I deliberately picked travel when I was younger, as once the career started I knew I have no time for long trips until I retired
Aliens. No can do. If we make her an Alien everyone whinges that it's a sort of Under The Skin. (If you haven't seen it, do so. Very different). Scarlet Johansson for the lead though, I like it :-)
You seem to have a thing for water fixtures. Are you an actual plumber that would bring verisimilitude to the scene?
Balance. Have 12 month fiat on hand, do not borrow to buy sats. After that BTC instead of cars, holidays or bigger house is a choice you can choose.
Her Uber driver side kick? She obviously doesn't drive....side kick allows for banter and exposition...
Email has scaled to everyone online. Decen scales very well IF users accept that connections won't be forcefed to them.
Twitter is a big box that contains everyone. Nostr is more like a map of the country where each city does its thing but is connected to others.
It's glorious.
But, some people like horror movies and mate, they really don't work for me all.
so, none of mine, but clearly will come 😊
Next up - you use Nostr.band to find some cool people to follow. But how do you tell if you have relays in common?
Ideas :-
a) People can put their preferred relays in their profile.
b) Clients flag up "no notes from this user for 7 days. If you recently followed this user, perhaps you don't have any relays in common.
It's def worth someone trying with a captcha
Thank you, I thought that was the case.
Def going to advise people that this is not a secure system for DMs - even if the content is hidden simply knowing who communicated with whom is a leak in some cases, and while email also does this, it's not as public :-)
I like this idea, BUT robogenerating npubs is trivial. The current spammers are already doing this.
Sort of silly question, but, how do DMs work?
Notes - get sent to all the relays you write to, and picked up by followers.
DMs - are they also sent to all the relays you write to, and hence loads of copies lying around, or just to the ones you have in common, or somehow direct?
Layer 2 Service - a DB of Relays and an API that the client uses. User answers a few questions and it suggests a block of relays to follow "you are in the UK, speaking english, and are interested in a Family Friendly relay. Try these....names, descriptions and costs."
Relay owners fill in the counterpart.
No, but you wouldn't want to get that close, they can famously* break your arm.
*but falsely :-)
Been out. Got it, but now snodrt not showing zaps at all. Ah well :-)
Fun fact : No one has any idea how fucking noisy swans are until one lands next to your boat just as you're drifting off to sleep....
I'm not technical - you might have noticed - but to me, spammers, as we see, post in crazy high volumes. People, even addicted people, could run to 500sats per post and not blink, but spammers, would.
"Dreams a bit".....first x posts 500sats per. Next x, 5000sats. Next x, 50000, adjust to whatever level stops spammers on the relay.
Thinks - if relays noticed the same content, or substantially the same, being reposted, throw up an invoice or human test.
No doubt our devs have many long days ahread of them :-)
Relay operators WILL appear out of nowhere. People will probably say I did :-) I'd say I've been around since I write the first uk.finance FAQ on Usenet :-)
There will be scams, because a PAY ONCE model is not sustainable, but while it's essentially the only game in town, and people have no idea what fair charges are, I predict the following :-
Mainstream Media notices Nostr. Scammer buys ads next to those articles, uses all the usual tricks re click-ad, pitches a top end price via a fiat front end. "Just 10 bucks, GOLD LEVEL MEMBER, Free Client Software". Pulls in money, vanishes. As with all scammers, they prey on the new. People who don't know how things work.
The best way to mitigate this is to move to a per month or even per post (if spammers start to pay to relay) model for pay models. Roll out others as you like too. But an ecology of "once only" is where scammers will come and they might thrive.
The next thing that will make it harder for scammers is relay differentiation. I run a relay. I'd like to say "I run a relay out of the UK, following UK law, so great for Brits and other english speakers". Right now, I can't. (But I did see the post that suggests soon, I'll be able to).
Iceland. If not overly planned, whale watching in the North if you can.
Brilliant. One day I write https://naut.social/nostr-tags/ and the next, it's being implemented (OK, so it was in there already, but, brilliant). A language control immediately makes running relays scale up at same cost, and running minority language relays possible at all. YES, YES, YES :-)
Yes, but also, bothered not bothered. If they do it because they have built good shit, their new users are happy. If not, they wasted their money.
