I cant find your git repo to look into fixing this and some other minor stuff
by the look of the site, they are too cowardly to include a git repo link at this point.
us techies aren't the ones they are trying to sell this to, it's the VCs i'm sure.
go through my profile and tell me what proportion of my posts mention it.
I'm pretty sure it's less than 1%
do you realise that this "anything but bitcoin" campaign is a psychological warfare attack or are you happy to work for someone else for free?
just eating the first of my new batch of yoghurt... mmmm
so thick and creamy. i gotta try and keep this culture alive this time. the mistake i made before was contaminating the mix with a little salt.
oh, i meant 64 bits. lol, 64 bytes is waaay overkill.
if the data has a frame, 64 bits will generally be enough.
for fingerprints, yeah, i hadn't really thought that much about it tbh, but 128 bits would be just about right.
our illustrious gaketkeepers of tech deigned that type 1 notes shall be plain text like tweets and facebook posts.
even though unformatted text is also compliant markdown.
imo, 64 bytes is the right size for a nonce or fingerprint. 32 bits is barely enough for general purpose in-memory array usage ffs.
marketing tech to devs who have got cosy with being the gatekeepers so much they write lists of their own awesome mates is virtually impossible. even though their behaviour is clearly immature and narcissistic to anyone reading it from the outside.
you call that comment feedback?
reads like ad hominem
it is a big problem. consistency is a huge weakness in the nostr design and it's such a big problem that an ad hoc solution was applied in the most popular relay, and the solution is far from ideal.
what is more concerning, though, is the amount of circle jerking going on among a small set of very prominent users, who act as though they are the gatekeepers and that they defend the moat around the tech so that outsiders can't do anything towards it.
the tech is so primitive that if it doesn't get a formal mechanism for consistency, it will fork into one that does and leave them behind.
actually, no, i've been observing the same thing.
go look at the talk video. it's in SD. you can't read anything of the slides he made.
making a judgement of a project building on nostr based on you personal aesthetic and not even looking for a second at its technical merits shows exactly where the problem lies here.
mids who want everything to be about them and are riding the trending algorithm while attacking the very system they are propped up by.
anyone with any understanding of distributed systems can tell you that the protocol of nostr is severely lacking in any mechanism for consistency.
not only that, your complaint is completely ridiculous. the whitepaper for scionic merkle dags is like 5 pages long and it's got nothing to do with shitcoins, and it's main author is someone who has academic chops and past work behind them.
part of the reason why it bothers me is because i've had a substantial amount of a protocol design, mostly implemented, for about 9 months now and can't find any way to bring it any further, even though it solves the problem of scaling with teh tor network, and creates a general paywalling mechanism for resource access online, without compromising privacy of users, and with the capability to protect the providers as well.
oh, also, the spray is pretty narrow beam like a gun, so it doesn't hit much other than what it's pointed right at.
think like shooting yourself in the arse with a pistol. behind your back and pointing downwards towards the toilet bowl. thus the name 'butt gun'
normalize bragging about one's longest lived lightning channels
well i don't use any centralised shit anymore. oh yeah i have a gmail account now, and a whatsapp to talk to my landlord but that's it. why anyone would continue to use X who is a bitcoiner now baffles me, but hey, my housemate still watches that shitshow a lot.
yeah, i have a really nice optic fibre gigabit link here now, can't wait until i have the cash handy to put a bitcoin node up and my own channels, to maybe a few decent plebs get into a little node running and try to make something that runs for a long time and doesn't close for as long as possible... like the old days of uptime bragging rights... people should really brag about how long they keep channels open, it's a worthy contest.
if they don't like the consensus remaining backward compatible they have plenty of other options. comparing it to fossils is a pissweak smear.
