Thanks brother!

Ok cool. What if I wanted to do it from a desktop computer or laptop? Any app suggestions to download so I could do something similar but from my computer? Just curious.

Right back at you! Yes, do it. I think it will add a much needed layer to the Nostr experience ♪♫

I'm still trying to navigate the replies, reposts etc. Its not very neat...

I feel it's a little nester in amethyst.

Not sure how I missed this Sim? Cool vid!

Yeah let's get you full DeMu!

Happy to help. AMA.

I recorded a step-by-step video for starting with Nostr last night. I have the music listener steps ready. The DeMu publishing steps I still want to simplify.

Glad you stumbled into this corner of the internet! Just to clarify, Wavlake isn't decentralized. It's a centralized platform that custodies your sats AND your RSS feed. When listeners send sats, 100% goes to WL to be divvied out into the 90/10 split after the transaction.

It also only features artists who have uploaded to WL and NOT all the DeMu artists out there self-hosting their RSS feeds. But if you listen via ANY Podcasting 2.0 app like Fountain.fm, Podcast Guru, etc. or "v4v music player" like LNBeats.com or V4VMusic.com, ALL the musicians can be found -- WL and DeMu alike.

It's a couple extra steps to create your own RSS feed, but doing so TRULY removes the middlemen (*cough* Wavlake), protects your art from censorship or removal, and ensures you won't get rugpulled as others have. 😅

Correction to last sentence:

The state often uses "the process" as the punishment and will drop charges at the final moment, ensuring there is no successful challenge.

I cannot assume motive.

It wouldn't be bad if my previous note were deemed illegal?

Tea for me these days. And your pref?

There are 2 types of direct messages. One is a spec that is (hopefully) being depreciated. Primal uses that one. Amethyst supports both the dying bad one and the better one. If you go into Amethyst, click my profile to send a mock dm, or send one, i don't mind... you'll see the little incognito man. You can switch back and forth between the message types. Active means they're more secure. Amethyst will automatically set the msg type, based on what type your recipient is using. If you do msg me, then go look on the npub sign in, you won't see the msg data.

As far as everything else, nostr was designed to be censorship resistant above all else, so most things are public by default. You can utilize nostr in less public ways, once you get familiarized with choosing, setting up, and navigating relays. As with anything on the internet, there is no guarantee of privacy. The difference with nostr is that there is no 3rd party to mitigate these matters on your behalf. You are responsible for your freedom, your privacy, your content, what you view (and not), and what you choose to share.

The notifications and your feed are not concerning, that's a feature. You can check what other users are seeing in their feed, which is pretty cool.

For the direct messages, yes, that's concerning. Afaik there is some solution (was it giftwrapped messages?) that not all clients support yet. Which client are you on?

I'm guessing that's part of how it works. Perhaps we can't consider DMs private? Perhaps the contents are though, did you try to read a DM?

The rest, yeah, those are public events, so yes, if they have your public npub, they can view all the events as if they were you, but they can't sign anything, and shouldn't be able to read anything that's encrypted.

Its perhaps not great... But what's public is public is public, including metadate. This is a good way to know exactly what that is so you can make informed choices.
