Here is my code. Ran this code, expected to receive a message on this npub when using a client that supported NIP-17. But didn’t receive any messages. So not sure even how to begin debugging.

Tbh I don’t know. Tried running the following code, expected it to show up on this npub on a client that supports NIP-17. But didn’t receive any message.

NIP-17 is awful. I can’t even get it to work. Obviously I’m doing something really dumb, but spent a few days before giving up.

This is exactly where #nostr could fail. The NIP process is long and tedious, yet incomplete. Is anyone thinking about the scalability and long term impacts of these proposals? More time should be spent on that as opposed to all these dumb little proposals that have almost no usage. Let’s get the foundation right first.

One other thing about this I forgot to mention. You should be able to view the entire history the npub. #nostr doesn’t really support deleting notes, so you should be able to view the entire history to backup my claim that it wasn’t reused and has only been used for that project.

The whole point of #nostr is to verify not trust. So don’t trust my word, verify it yourself šŸ˜‰.

If you do happen to remember why you blocked it or anything, please let me know. I’m committed to addressing any concerns or problems the community has in regards to it. (Also all the source code is open source, so also trying to be transparent too) āœˆļø

Nope. The npub I mentioned has always been used for that AirportStatusBot project and has not been used for anything else.

nostr:npub1nzrhjlgxxuh602nej5pj3cr4gfm7uaywlg3zygzvwyavq0c6t2qs5c36v5 now supports direct messages! Message the bot and ask it questions and it will reply with some useful information. This feature is in alpha, and still in active development. But wanted to ship it to get feedback.

On a more technical note, NIP-17 I couldn't get to work at all with it (only supports NIP-04). Asked in the #nostr telegram and didn't get any replies. If anyone wants to take a look and help debug, let me know. But I think #nostr is on track to fail miserably if developers can't even figure out how to use non-deprecated standards after spending days on it.

Can’t even find what NIPs it supports…

What is the best web client for #nostr? #asknostr

Does #NDK support NIP-17? Trying to send an encrypted direct message to a user, but not seeing any documentation for it. #nostr #asknostr

So this is what people thought #Y2K was going to be like. #CrowdStrike #Outage #IT

Well that is fun. #Cloudflare DNS seems to be extremely unstable right now. Ping to 1.1.1.1 fails for a bit then succeeds for a bit before failing again. Can ping other IPs just fine, and observed from 2 different internet connections.

Well that sucks... #Apple Developer app on Apple TV keeps crashing when trying to load Platform State of the Union stream. #WWDC #WWDC24

Today!!! šŸŽ‰ #WWDC #WWDC24

Saw a #Tesla #Cybertruck for the first time in person today. If you're wondering if it's as ugly in person as it is in the photos: it is.

In what universe is nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m living in?!?! #Twitter or #X is NOT freedom tech. Maybe it used to be. But completely shutting down the API lost any sense of ā€œfreedomā€ it had.

Freedom is being able to use (or build) the client you want. Freedom is allowing you to view posts WITHOUT creating an account.

Sometimes making the wrong decision is better than making no decision.

And just like that, the rate of inflation for #Bitcoin was just cut in half. #BitcoinHalving

Most of the time associated types for enum cases in #Swift are not the right tool for the job.
