Project idea: nostr over DNS tunnel

This wouldn‘t suffice, I think. This is like the dollar bill in the letter, not like the stamp.

I guess I‘ve got some reading to do. Is there a NIP to start from?

I‘m not thinking about the cash aspect, but about the infrastructure costs.

Is this how eCash works?

nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6 Would it be feasible and useful to attach sats to a note directly? Like a penny-post, the first relay seeing it could collect it.

(besides the fact that you don‘t like lightning)

I didn‘t have so many pixels, even 5 years later.

I started to realize that unconscieniously I prefer paying mortgage interest rate to a bank because it saves me taxes. That‘s nonsense of course: spending much to save little.

I think they actually want that. The evil guy is normally more convinced to be on the good side than the good guy.

Making a guess:

The Cycles render engine of Blender only ray-traces the pixels it needs for properly dithered noise distribution. You basically tune a noise, time, cycle budget until you‘re happy with the rendered image.

Or am I completely off and each pixel is ray-traced?

things i realised while developing nostr:npub14a3s46a8mr8kar9duvfzd2gz8sntjxcykwslyx84dfnexfzfdzhqz4ejtd for last 8 months on nostr.

one thing i have realised.

- Not a lot of dev resources online other than GitHub read me and handful of very basic videos.

- Telegram groups are your most accurate source of information.

- By the time you get hold of NIPs and get busy developing your app, either new NIPs come out or previous implementations change without any major announcements. unless you are actively monitoring nostr social feeds, no specific newsletter you can subscribe to mentioning the changes in NIPs you are interested in.

- Help is hardly available. No volunteers, No major Sats contributions, cant run ads. Even if there is no backend, hosting relays or creating something meaningful is gonna take a toll on your pocket.

- Community is helpful. Some people really love to test your ideas and give suggestions (like nostr:npub1r0rs5q2gk0e3dk3nlc7gnu378ec6cnlenqp8a3cjhyzu6f8k5sgs4sq9ac ) but otherwise, its you and your own vision of a service.

Overall, No guarantee of if its gonna work out in the long run or not.

Creating on nostr is supposed to be more fun. That’s why we are creating on nostr and not a centralised API driver another app like billion others. However that really seems to be getting tougher and tougher.

I do not wanna lose hope. Some apps really have made their names and i feel glad everytime i see a new app rocking on nostr and utilising its potential to build cool features. however, it seems i took a bite bigger than i could chew. I am not gonna stop though. Even if the chewing takes longer, i am in it for the long run.

When has it not worked in the end after all right?

#HappySundayNostr.

What the heck? Is this just pouring your unfiltered mixed feelings into the public? Or are these actual points collected carefully over the last 8 months?

Wow, that‘s mega-cool! You totallly nerd-sniped me. Just thought that it would be interesting to apply the Game of Life to a monochrome dithered image. The interesting areas will be the living ones. Gonna try it.

Do you also know about HAM (Hold-and-Modify)? I‘m fascinated by what people did with the Amiga. I once prepared a Rust intro for my company: https://github.com/renuo/hamster

and I’m thinking about how to write a video codec using HAM, quasi per pixel a steam down time.

Gradient descent or game of life?

Traveling edges?
