npub is read-only.
you need the nsec to publish notes.
i'm pretty sure there is some connection between Jack Nicholson, Christian Slater and Leonardo Di Caprio as well.
the "other day" is between now and when amazon, facebook and google take over nostr branding and it becomes meaningless.
it requires the design of a consensus algorithm, and i don't mean "adding a shitcoin and putting it on a blockchain". that one has already been done. go visit steemit.com to see that in action.
i mean something along similar lines as bittorrent, something that is always usable at any scale from dialup all the way to the whole AWS network.
it's not that big an innovation to be able to easily migrate your data from one silo to another. facebook and google have been letting you download "your data" for years. i'm sure that a simple application could be made to do a lot of it. sure, the silos don't let you add data to the profile with your chosen datestamps but aside from that it's still the same.
"relay in the phone" means a centralisation resistant protocol that can operate at that level where a tiny node can participate and not be excluded or unreachable.
it really doesn't take that much study of distributed systems theory to understand why nostr is not an innovation yet, celebrating it as a cure for centralisation is extremely premature.
problem is that sudo has been nerfed to only work for shadowy puppet master manipulators at this point.
no, but if you can find a tool that grabs a user's follow list and another tool that lets you publish a follow list (with your signature) containing your existing list and merges in the desired target list, it would be easy.
three capabilities are required, getting follow list (yours and target) signing updated version that you edit in a text editor to contain both lists, and then publishing the note.
AI is just an editing tool, it's not a replacement for an artist.
the same old shit with a new veneer will not sustain the interest of people for very long. sure, there will be always the pulp fans who don't care, who already were susceptible to subscribing to the most cheaply produced, poorly written cliche riddled garbage, but these poor sods are not the majority of buyers of media.
so, don't worry about it.
i used to want to write fantasy/scifi also, but it's not a business you can casually enter into, no different to anything else - you only make money out of it when you get into the top 10% of effort and hours under the belt.
the thing that would really change the game is if people were healthy and lived routinely into their hundreds. then we'd all have the time to indulge more than one or two dreams.
it's a false dichotomy to say that *therefore it should be illegal*. the problem is that people see drugs as medicine for some kind of malaise, and those who sell it are incentivised to promote this idea and entrench it in people's thinking, and keep their gravy train running no matter the human cost.
it just reflects a broader problem that the majority of people are gullible and suggestible to mind control and cult brainwashing techniques and that this key lever on the masses is not going to be given up by the shadowy puppetmasters behind the curtain.
no loading screens either! and the invisible walls are not arbitrary!
i guess since it's been defacto for at least 20 years now might as well come out of the closet. not just 5 eyes, there's 6...
i just literally read an influencoor saying "nostr fixes this". no, not yet it doesn't.
also, it hardly leverages anything. centralised lightning services. lightning isn't really quite ready either without the last mile problem solved for async payments (which nostr needs).
i can assure you, that the hype train has been successful and shitcoinery is about tho descend hard on nostr. i'm probably going to be paid to build some of such systems in the future.
nostrich tears are going to be very tasty beverage.
not saying i don't want to help fix the problem but it's completely unrealistic to say any of the things people are saying. there just isn't many users yet, once the users are here, all bets are off.
#nostr *could* fix this if someone would make it centralisation resistant.
trustpilot is also owned by the most wealthy scammers too.
mass formation psychosis, deployment commencing.
#nostr is not #Bitcoin
there is nothing original in the design and specification yet, that isn't served best already by cloud architecture.
the resource requirements for relays will grow beyond reasonable home server and small VPS operator capacity. without a mechanism for funding relay operators, and sharding the data they handle is designed, it's on a highway to centralised hell.
even the minimal feature to allow users to specify an expiry date isn't there. the format is JSON which is a very bulky data encoding. it uses HTTP websockets, which are very heavy in the negotiation phase and thus not well suited to gossip heavy traffic, required to make relays peers not just servers. all associated media in notes are currently served already on a very small number of cloud based CDNs.
none of the people involved in making the specification or allowing proposals in have shown any interest or understanding of any of these requirements.
nostr has a chance, over the next year, to get serious about centralisation resistance and after that it's just gonna be another buzzword used to sell the same old shit.
this was the most recent effort to use the hashkash style proof of work in a messaging protocol.
it entirely depended on the PoW to not enable spam.
look at the date on it. hasn't been updated since 2016.
at least do the basic research before you waste your time on something that is a well trodden path.
multiplier units for a start. pagination, smaller pages.
it's at the point for me now where in such circumstances i'm repurposing empty springwater bottles.
when i was homeless, it was the easiest way for me to deal with the intermittent upset of my dodgy and intermittent diet. nothing makes walking around scavenging more difficult than an annoyed hindquarter... when on longer expeditions i would usually try to keep two water bottles, one would be for one end, the other for the other...
there's been plenty of things older too... but for sure the media pushes people towards a constant 'what's the latest' thing. what's the news... what's the news.
well, the word 'gospel' even means 'good news' so there's something inherent in this to some extent.
strfry didn't make a NIP about negentropy either.
