Ads work great if the content you are creating is not really valuable to someone else.

V4V works great if it is.

People: How based are you?

It’s custodial Lightning but much better :)

It’s nostr-native lightning addresses for everyone. https://npub.cash

Oh no, I am not removing aliases from the npubcash project. I am moving the logic that lets you buy aliases outside of the core package npubcash-server, because I want to leave this part up the the service operator.

npub.cash will keep its human readable usernames 😄

I am removing all "buy an alias" logic from npubcash-server. I believe this is an implementation detail that should not be part of the core package and should rather be an optional micro-service running next to npubcash-server.

Meanwhile I am rewriting the logic to make it more resilient against connection issues. The micro service repo can be found at: https://github.com/lightning-digital-entertainment/npubcash-alias

lazygit is the single best git client there is. Change my mind

Decided against getting a split keyboard for a 300-500$ and ordered Corne v3 PCBs instead. Never soldered in my life so wish me luck

The list of things I want to build for npubcash is long. Over the next couple of weeks I’ll publish an update blogpost once a week and let you know what got done 🙌🏻

I wrote a long form post about npub.cash and why I think we are still massively missing out on its potential 👇

ncrypt is a standardised way to encrypt an nsec for safer handling and storage. It’s defined in NIP-49

People might now be aware of this, but nostr is such an easy target for personalised ads and big data. While the web struggles to establish static identifiers and user profiles, nostr has all of it built in. Your identifier is your pubkey. Your profile data already is publicly available. It is a piece of cake for an advertiser to serve targeted ads to you, just by knowing your public key.

Here is a simplified example: I could go ahead and analyse relay traffic, then proceed to build a database that maps pubkeys to interest and demographics (for example by running all your notes through an LLM). Then I could go to any advertiser and tell them that I can offer them an audience „Male 21-35 yo, interested in tech and steaks“. Display campaigns with similar targets yield 3-6$ CPM on the traditional web.

Finally I would approach Will (who would surely decline, but just for the sake of this example) and tell him that he could earn 200$ per day be simply requesting a display ad from my server every ten posts on Damus feed. All he needed to do is to implement my SDK and send the users public key with the request…

This gets even worse on the web, because JavaScript and cookies…

This is a dystopia that might become reality if client developers can not find a less shitty way to monetise… nostr:note1ltskvvkn4avertvjlpyrw5jhcc9jgwxxx5cfpkrnr7kd99z7kh0s09rtec

In order to get meaningful monetization through non-personalised ads it would need a paradigm shift on the buy side. Advertisers will not risk performance just preserve a users privacy.

Yes! 🙌🏻 started with lazyvim and still have many of the defaults setup. I’ll take some time this year to write my own custom config
