Work to pay taxes to support the state in taxing you even more.

OR

Work to weaken the state.

The choice is yours.

TIL. Reminds me of communist Romania when every typewriter was registered with the state authorities and each had a slight difference in the way certain characters looked or were positioned to make it uniquely identifiable.

Local first! Finally I am optimistic about the future as well. Long live local databases, the path to true decentralization!

Corollary: corruption is what makes humanity still possible.

Sounds like top-down planning which will always fail. You can't start a community by deciding to "start a community". Either it happens naturally or it doesn't.

Good answer. Lots to think about.

I was certainly not thinking about something private, although privacy can easily be achieved if the client just encrypts the file before uploading it and decrypts it on download, no? The blobs could then spread and they would still be encrypted...

Some form of tagging would definitely be useful - which could also be used to build a tree-like structure on the client (to emulate folders). Could the server just return a json containing tags on `HEAD` or `GET "hash/tags"` or something?

Great! Thanks for at least confirming that what I was looking for does not actually exist. I was absolutely sure it must exist, because it seems like the killer app for Blossom, really! And one of the must have apps built on Blossom...

Hope somebody builds this. It could of course be just a separate feature in a regular Nostr client, but it feels like a simple separate app would make more sense.

Is there such a thing as an Android Blossom client? If not, why not? Wouldn't that essentially be my own cloud (assuming I run my Blossom server)?

I know many Nostr clients upload to Blossom, but what I am looking for is different: not a client that I use to post notes, but one that I use to manage my files...

I will... Although my app has just GitHub and no home page yet...

Well, most programmers really do write code like that anyway...

Bitcoin is what fixes the unit. That's the whole point.

Actually Nostr was created for NIP-15 not NIP-15 for Nostr, the way I have read it in the history books.

What is *the* NIP-23 (long form) client these days?

Habla seems dead. Prophet is dead. Blogstack... is it still a thing?

Nobody else innovating in this field?

Lol, I still can't wrap my head around how zaps work. Give me another year...

Remember NIP-69, nostr:npub1a3um269aaf3u5cy37kuykrrrnsg2pyv7za06pxjduv25lq5sdujs2qmdj6 ?

So account switchers are better. Nostr is still early and has plenty of catch up to do.

FB and IG have the best UX. It couldn't be simpler than that.

Also: there is a reason why people want different accounts. They don't want the multiple accounts "merged" into one. One switch to move the whole context to another account.

Agree on NIP-98, actually. So I do get your point now - finally. But then - NIP-98 does not compete with Blossom, only NIP-96 is. Of course it is a bummer that Blossom chose to *not* use NIP-98 for authentication.

I'm not a paleo weirdo, but deodorant? Why would you use that? It's as useless as sunscreen.

Nip-98 over Blossom you say?

They have some shitcoin reward indeed, I always just ignored that.

I used it for a couple of years. It's what you describe: top up BTC and spend fiat. Another one I used is Crypto.com, also good, but slightly different: you top up the card with fiat converted from BTC you have in your account.

Wirex?

NOthing Stops this TRain?

Is Primal using relays to *read* data? I thought it is just *writing* to relays and using their caching service to read. I might be wrong though.

Building is much more expensive than buying.

Speaking of spam accounts...
