For the life of me, I can't seem to get them to work. I've put in the encrypted text with and without the iv value and the hex pubkey of the sender and receiver; regardless of the combination of those that I use, it always comes back with "Could not decrypt the message". Do you have any idea of what I could be doing wrong? The messages are properly encrypted, sent, and decryptable on other clients, btw.

#asknostr #dev

Guess:

Decryption tricked me once in ndk because sender and receiver pubkey namings can be confusing.

You always need to decrypt with providing the recipient pubkey(p-tag) and the PEER pubkey.

This "peer pubkey" could be your user (your user sent a message) OR another user (p-tag refers to YOUR user as recipient and someone sent your user a message).

I had to check which is which to get it right.

The content creator economy will come to nostr eventually. But needs time and FOCUSED effort.

I believe that we often talk about things not being private or decentralized enough but fail to acknowledge that real life is not perfect. We gotta solve a problem that exists with a 10x improvement FOR SOME PPL. NOT EVERYONE. Just enough to sustain operations.

In this context UX is less pressing of an issue but there is no excuse for making mistakes on rudimentary things:

MOST NOSTR APPS LACK BASIC USABILITY. PERIOD.

Let's do our best and don't fool ourselves. We can improve. We can also get help to progress faster. That's what I do on multiple fronts at this point.

It only takes one app to solve a problem with 10x improvement. Others will follow suit. But I have given up always trying to adhere to newest protocol "trends" because I have a problem to solve.

Nip04 dm-s being one example. In my app users connect via the Deal-process anyway. I'm prompting users to execute contracts elsewhere. Good enough to me FOR NOW. This is how we get results. Getting the crucial stuff right, not spreading ourselves thin.

Last but not least, *most* content creators clearly don't have a crucial problem. They are just complaining every now and then. We need to seek out those who might have vested interest in a no-bs, more Freedom-oriented solution. nostr:nprofile1qqs0ulmtcmmn8zmkh0uqmdqz4hn9j5lzpvhj8enw3xpqfd3ucsjnngcpramhxue69uhkummnw3ezuetfde6kuer6wasku7nfvuh8xurpvdjszrthwden5te0dehhxtnvdakqz8mhwden5te0wfjkccte9ehx7er9wf6kumn9wfejumn9w3mk7unt44fd8d told about ppl with humongous followings. That's NOT the criteria I would look for.

Powers keep on lyin'

While your people keep on dyin'

World keep on turnin'

Cause won't be too long

#Bitcoin is the higher ground.

Been out of the nostr for a while and was surprised by the user stats at https://stats.nostr.band/ I know they are not 100% accurate but I think they carry some truth. Why do you think nostr daily active users are dwindling? I have my reasons but I'm curious to read other's opinions on the matter.

Guess:

They were here for another X with less restrictions. They were disappointed.

They realized where they belong.

Degrees and certificates are an absolute waste of time.

If you wanna be a dev, drop out now and contribute to open-source projects.

Proof of Work beats the hell out of degrees. Many ppl here can attest to this.

## Solve Tickets for Sats

Listening to the Thank God for Nostr pod made me realize why I never got into social media. nostr:nprofile1qqs8k0mcqd6sw3h524qn5gslszt9am9knmes3uh268dgnnpv3yfwj6qpzamhxue69uhky6t5vdhkjmn9wgh8xmmrd9skctcppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qyw8wumn8ghj7mn0wd68yttsw43zuum9d45hxmmv9ejx2a30y7ph8a had profound insights:

People don't need to know what I'm doing in my everyday life. They don't care, or it's pretty scary if they do.

My family perhaps cares but I can tell them personally about my day when I arrive home from work and I can tell my broader family and friends about how I am doing when we catch up at gatherings.

Social media however is NOT the same as sharing a truly interesting finding or asking for professional advice for example.

I am on nostr to find the signal I need to live a better and more successful life.

NOT TO CHECK OUT PEOPLES' PERSONAL SHIT.

This is something Jimmy put his fingers on really nicely. Social media sucks. And we'll never beat Big Tech in their own game, oh no.

A question to #nostr developers:

YOU REALLY THINK PEOPLE WATCHING CAT VIDEOS ALL DAY WILL CARE ABOUT NOSTR?

Answer this question honestly to yourselves. And act accordingly.

This is another one of those days where I painstakingly find the bug in my fork of #ndk only to realize it has already been fixed by nostr:nprofile1qqs04xzt6ldm9qhs0ctw0t58kf4z57umjzmjg6jywu0seadwtqqc75spr9mhxue69uhhq7tjv9kkjepwve5kzar2v9nzucm0d5q3gamnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwv3sk6atn9e5k7qgkwaehxw309aex2mrp0yh8qunfd4skctnwv46qr60g4s just recently.

Anyway, feeling grateful :)

LFG xD

The subscription is rate limited despite it being paid anyway.

Most subscription models are high time-preference fiat monetization tactics.

Want to try a #DVM idea for freelancers.

Also, want it to have nothing to do with js.

Is rust-nostr mature enough to build a feed curation DVM for freelancers using outbox model?

Haven't found a decent client using it yet but haven’t looked so many places either.

Why no mentions of projects already using this? Looks promising though.

Ecash is not crypto. It's a minted token backed by anything.

People will choose their preferred mint backed by their preferred money.

They can use Keychat with any money that has a custodian running a Cashu mint. Even a mixture of different assets while we're at it.

It's just that now bitcoin-backed Cashu still dominates.

If you don’t have Time to Pretend,

Join #nostr and adopt #bitcoin

Not turning back. Ever.

Nostr helps me do that.
