Global is a mistake. I never use it and I'm having the best experience.

still sucks to be reminded that one half of steely dan is dead and daft punk broke up

Do all clients use timestamp windowing when pulling feeds? I'm trying to re-work feeds to work without windowing (since you don't know how dense a given feed is), and lots of relays are giving me really old events. It's really annoying, because if we could assume events came in descending order we could implement much faster feeds. Specifically, I'm seeing this with spore.ws and relay.austric.net.

Hear me out, I just had a brain fart:

Start a social media campaign to bring more people to Nostr and content creators to nostr.

We pick a day/week something like the 1st of August and declare something like “Join Nostr” day”week.

We rally the #plebchain plebs to all share it and make big noise and help onboard new people to nostr.

I only have a small following but everyone played their part who knows could turn into something with big network effect.

Thoughts?

What were you doing eight years ago today?

The sun's photons colliding with you at this moment started their journey all those years ago. They were jettisoned into space and watched the Earth rotate nearly 3,000 times. They witnessed the calm and chaos, the births and deaths, the peace and violence, the songs and silence.

They witnessed your struggles and triumphs. They saw you stumble and grow. They were steadfast in their trip to meet you as you welcomed new friends and lost touch with old ones. As you made tough decisions and, at other times, threw caution in the wind.

Now they're here for their chance encounter with you. To nourish you and light the way. To energize you before they slip away.

What will you be doing eight years from now, today?

Ok ok… I am experimenting with moving on and releasing bad vibes. Someone i know who i got an amazing gig has shown zero appreciation, i have been holding annoyance. I’m moving on. And on Nostr i too will release the bad vibes i hold against people like McCuck and just move on. I want good energy and I see so many of you here being super positive and I love and appreciate it . A new day with #Bitcoin & Nostr 🔥

Long term solution will require a general framework for the decentralized curation of knowledge, which is what I’m working on. (To that end, I’ll probably be issuing some bounties soon. Know any devs who want to stack a few sats? Send them my way! 😊)

Short term: if I ran one of the popular nostr clients here’s what I would do. It’s imperfect but quick, easy and probably pretty effective.

Assume that if Alice follows Bob then she probably kinda sorta trusts his judgment when it comes to muting scammers. (Not necessarily true, hence the “imperfect” qualifier. But probably good enough for a quick fix.)

Periodically comb through the mute lists of all your follows + their follows.

F1 = number of users one hop away, and F2 = number of users two hops away.

If Charlie shows up on someone’s mute list, then C1 = the number of times Charlie is muted by an F1, and C2 = number of times Charlie is muted by an F2.

In settings, have a button which when activated will mute anyone if either of the following conditions hold:

If C1 > 3 AND C1/F1 > 3%

or

If C2 > 5 AND C2/F2 > 5%

Something like that. Play with the numbers to find the right balance. Don’t want innocent people to get muted by accidental fat fingers. The reason for the percentages is that you want to make a system that works for everyone, whether you follow 10 ppl or 10,000. You could make the 3 and 5 adjustable parameters, although maybe that’s too much complexity for the user?

Honestly I don’t know why Twitter never did this.

This is how my first #nostr experience on desktop looked vs. how it looks today.

Who else is using "q" for quoted events instead of "e"? And why not?

More CO2 has made the planet greener, easier to grow food in many areas allegedly. Why stop that ? Hmmmm🤷‍♂️

Is Nostrasia in Tokyo going to have talks in Japanese?

i've sent 1.5M sats in zaps to strangers all over the world. i'm not stopping any time soon 🪄💜

It's not - that's another toolkit for Nostr.

Pablo's version which is referred to here is @ ndk.fyi

I hear 5+ projects already using NDK 😱

Bitcoinerjobs.co, btctalentco, open applications, etc are the biggest scam of all time. It’s same as fiat land; all who you know. I’ve applied to over 30 Bitcoin jobs, most of which would entail a 50% pay cut, and I don’t even get an email back. I get asked to tell my Bitcoin story; I’m applying for a job at your company where I’ll be losing half my salary. That’s my story. I do cash management and financial planning for a living, and zero response from any company. I have no idea how the hiring industry works in Bitcoin land, but I promise you it needs improvement.
