Okay, our first session is done! Wallet has been created and a test transaction has been sent. We’re going to do the rest in a few days.

In the meantime, I got her to download WoS, so if you want to congratulate her, you can #zap ⚡️🎉

GMPV Nostrodions:

After a brisk 10 mile bike ride with my lovely wife, I am ready to teach my on-line class. Today's topic: "Clean Agile".

I grew up saying hoagies but at some point I started saying subs 😭 I think subway may have had something to do with it.

I think pow is better for discovery than spam prevention. People might be ok with paying for pow for an occasional announcement you want people to pay attention to, but mobile users will not want to drain their batteries to post likes.

This is 'Rhai' which is more rust friendly. The scripting is simple enough. Does it have to be Lua?

GOSSIP:

I have basic spam filtering via script working on a development branch. I'll need to optimize it and make pages for editing your script. But basically you create a script like this:

fn filter() {

if content.contains("AirDrop") {

0

} else if content.contains("Ukraine") {

0

} else {

1

}

}

0 means deny, 1 means allow, and 2 means "mute the author". The data available to the script (as scoped variables) inlcudes 'id' (hex string) 'pubkey' (hex string) 'kind' (integer) and 'content' (string). I may pass in 'now' (integer) too. The scripting language is pretty extensive. If people come up with good filtering ideas and need more variables passed in, I can enhance it.

I'm having a hard time figuring out how to spam block messages from random new pubkeys with randomized content. What is the algorithm to stop that? Maybe I should make an entropy calculation function, if the entropy is high it is probably not a human readable language.

ZERO LOCAL DATA ON ANY OF MY CLIENTS

Always.

Any client persisting local data (other than a cache, obviously) is an attack on nostr and likely just portraying itself as a nostr client as a marketing gimmick.

University. If I had hacked around, I would have a much deeper practical knowledge.

I think you need to both study from university or books to get some broad knowledge (Shannon, Euler, differential, zk, etc) and also hack around with code and bits quite a lot, especially trying to break things, before you should call yourself a cryptographer.

I can't call myself that. I only did the book learning and don't have the practical experience to draw on.

good question, i'm curious also.

Start out by absorbing this book:

Cryptography by Keith Martin

It's a primer to the space. Write down what you learn and start teaching it on Nostr.

Congrats, this is the first step to becoming an applied cryptographer.

Would a significant portion of the world’s economy moving online make this physical power less relevant?l to the point where the empire can crumble and the American military still be far dominant?

So was opium 😂

Poppy extract milk for toddlers is tradition in some countries :)

E can now give his classmates a lesson on all of this 😍 such a cool place #oslo
