Correct. It does not matter who originally created it since the code is verifiable and probably some of the most reviewed open-source code in existence.

Ah. That I can agree with, for sure.
That's sort-of a Jumble quirk in general, though. When scrolling through a feed, you can't tell if there have been any interactions with an OP whatsoever. Only once you open the note does Jumble load that info. So I guess I have just gotten used to not having that info prior to clicking in Jumble.
Some indication of whether any quotes of that post could be found would be good. Or maybe the tab only shows up if there are quote posts?

Doesn't matter. I could have created it with dice-rolls in my bathroom. As soon as you have a public key, you can add it to your kind 3. You might need to use a tool like NAK or Nostrudel's note publisher to manually edit your kind 1 if searching for the npub in a client doesn't let you follow it.
What are you specifically testing for, though? Kind 0 profiles shouldn't just exist on a WoT relay. Those are meant to be spread far and wide, so you can always just create a profile for the new user that is saved to a few public relays before following the user to add them to the web-of-trust.

Thank you! Video clients especially are not going to get much traction without the ability to easily filter videos.
That said, you shouldn't need to leverage WoT relays in order to implement WoT on the client side. Check with @nprofile…eeyp for how he implements it in Coracle. It doesn't rely on WoT relays at all. Indeed, his implementation predates their existence.
If you still want to use WoT relays as the basis of your implementation, though, you can probably find a more complete list of WoT relays by visiting https://nostr.watch/ then adding "Software" to your filter options and select "bitvora/wot-relay".
Looks like there's about 30 of them, currently.

Ummm... They don't need to already be on your WoT relay for you to be able to follow them... When you follow someone, you are just adding their public key to your list of follows on your kind 3 note, and what relays they are on or not on doesn't matter at all.

Mutiny? Thought they shut down...
At any rate, anything self-custody, like Phoenix, is going to have a bit more cost to set up, because there is an on-chain transaction involved, and you may also have LSP fees for them locking up liquidity to you, so you can receive right away.
I agree that custodial is fine for zapping. Primal's wallet is provided by Strike, and you can use it for zapping AND as a regular lightning wallet for any other type of lightning transaction. It's not a terrible option, though they are required to obtain some KYC since the wallets are provided via Strike, which is a regulated money transmitter.

There's not really a fix for it. Not sure what Njump is looking at to determine what relays you are publishing to. Ideally, it would look at your most recent kind 10002 relay list, but it is clearly not. Might just be looking for a couple relays that it seems your notes consistently are saved to, regardless of what is on your relay list.
Other clients will utilize a variety of relay lists, and therefore may show a smaller or larger number depending on what combination of lists they are pulling from. You don't really have one singular relay list. You have a list for your inbox and outbox relays (kind 10002), a separate list for your DM inbox relays (kind 10050), another list for your private relays (kind 10013), yet another for your search relays (kind 10007), and even your follow list (kind 3) contains a list of relays in the "content" section, which some clients use as "General Relays" or they use it if they can't find your kind 10002.
Here's what shows up on your 10002:
- wss://relay.primal.net (write only)
- wss://nostr.oxtr.dev
- wss://nostr.wine
- wss://relay.damus.io
- wss://nostr-pub.wellorder.net (write only)
You don't currently have a kind 10050 for receiving DMs or a kind 10013 for private relays that I could find.
Here's your 10007 for search relays:
- wss://nostr.wine
- wss://relay.nostr.band
- wss://relay.noswhere.com
And here's your kind 3 relays:
- wss://relay.primal.net
- wss://nostr.oxtr.dev
- wss://nostr.wine
- wss://nostr.bitcoiner.social
- wss://nostr.mom
- wss://relay.damus.io
- wss://relay.snort.social
- wss://nostr.land (read only)
- wss://nostr-pub.wellorder.net
- wss://relay.nostr.com.au
- wss://wot.utxo.one (read only)
- wss://vault.iris.to (read only)
- wss://filter.nostr.wine (read only)

- wss://relay.noswhere.com (read only)
- wss://theforest.nostr1.com (read only)
- wss://relay.mostr.pub (read only)
So, depending on which relay lists a particular client is looking at, it might display as few as 5 relays for you or as many as 17.

Coracle is not the only client, but it is one of the few and I think it was the first. WoT has been part of Coracle since before the replyguy spam attack last August. Then @nprofile…ze3q released his WoT relay in response to that attack.
I also like how Jumble has implemented WoT just for interactions, but not for original posts. This allows for still seeing every OP in a relay feed, while filtering out reply spam. Then, if you are seeing a bunch of OP spam, you know you should choose a different relay. 😂

2025-07-04 20:30:54 UTC

- reply

New accounts have ALWAYS had trouble getting visibility, even before WoT.
Why? Because no one uses Global feeds. They only see posts from those they follow in their home feed. As a result, when new users come to Nostr, they post a few times, get next to no engagement, and leave. That has always been the case.
WoT is a very useful tool, though, when searching for a specific account, and you don't want to end up getting shown a fake. It's also useful for combating spam. Yes, this does create another hurdle for new users to get over before they can get any traction here, but frankly new users are more likely to be spammers than established users, too. No matter what spam mitigation method we use, it is going to adversely affect new users more than others.

Sadly, there's no real indication on the fake profile that it is probably a fake, unless a user already knows what to look for, such as lack of NIP-05 (though scammers are starting to add NIP-05s, too), and no indication that anyone I am following also follows them.

Generally a good rule of thumb.
But that's assuming that it is always the scammer who will be trying to reach out to you.
Scammers also get some hits from users who are looking for the legit profile and end up finding their fake instead. Or they find both the real and fake profile, but they don't know which is real, so they follow both.

Not really. That's @nprofile…7vk7 's point about follower counts not being sybil-resistant. A determined scammer could spin up thousands of npubs and have them follow their impersonator account. Then the follower count doesn't help you determine which one is real at all.

I have taken to manually typing the "nostr:" prefix for all Nostr URIs since it is far more consistently handled by various clients. Leave it off and you may or may not get the desired result, depending on the client.
That said, I think client devs should be better about recognizing and handling URIs that are missing the prefix. Can't really count on that, though.

God loves his people and it has absolutely nothing to do with the way they are, because his love for them is THROUGH CHRIST. It has everything to do with who Christ is, and through our union with him, who God considers us to be.
That is the doctrine of justification by faith, that God considers us perfectly righteous, not because of anything we have done, but because he has counted Christ's righteousness as ours.
By the work of his Spirit, he then conforms us to the image of his Son, in this life but in part, through the process of sanctification, and fully in glory. He is restoring the image of God in man that was marred at the fall.

There's a few good ones you can use to post blogs/articles on Nostr.
https://habla.news/ is the one I generally use.
https://primal.net/ now has long-form publishing, too.
https://yakihonne.com/ is preferred by others.
There's also https://highlighter.com/ https://untype.app/ and a new contender just released in alpha: https://www.longform.space/
All of them post long-form notes, which use markdown for formatting, and will be visible in any Nostr client that can display that note kind.
Better yet, if you want your own website to display your long-form notes, you can use https://npub.pro/ to generate your own blog site that uses Ghost templates and can even be attached to your own domain.
My site, https://www.nostr-reviews/ is entirely using Nostr long-form notes and npub.pro.

I think the way this has to go is the digital localism idea, where we ultimately have more and smaller relays, with solid relay moderation tools. That's why I am very excited about landlubber.coracle.social, and more relay implementations need to support NIP-86 so operators can easily manage their relays.
Big relay operators are going to be in over their heads really fast when it comes to keeping CSAM off of their relays, because there will simply be too high a volume of content to moderate it effectively. Maybe they are already feeling that as it is. It will be up to those who run relays for their small communities to police it for themselves.
It will still exist on Nostr, and that won't change so long as anyone can run their own relay, but the important part is that we can enforce a policy of "Not on MY relay!" and have the tools to back that statement up.

Your copy of the blockchain is YOUR copy. It doesn't do anyone else a bit of good whatsoever except insofar as there is additional redundancy, but that's a diminishing benefit.
An example might be in order. Say there was only one copy of Shakespeare's complete works in existence. The first duplicate creating some minimal amount of redundancy woult be incredibly valuable to have, so long as it was kept in a separate location. A third duplicate would make it even less likely that they would ever be destroyed, but it wouldn't be as valuable to society as that second copy was. By the time there are tens of thousands of copies of Shakespeare's complete works, the chance that all copies will be destroyed and forever lost are virtually zero, so the next copy that is added, while it technically helps ensure this is the case, it's really not measurably meaningful for anyone other than the person who owns that copy, because there may be tens of thousands like it, but that copy is THEIRS.
Same thing with Bitcoin nodes. Running a node does mean it is marginally harder for Bitcoin to ever be destroyed, but it's not like Bitcoin is meaningfully less resilient without your node.
Your node does relay pending transactions and newly found blocks to its peers, but they don't rely on your node alone for that information either. They would have just received it from a different peer instead.
Now, that doesn't mean running a node doesn't matter. It most certainly DOES! It's just that it primarily matters for YOU, and not anyone else. So long as there is reason for people to run a node for their own use, and it remains relatively easy to do so, node-count will continue to grow and Bitcoin will remain resilient.
If no one has any real reason to run a node for their own use, though, node-count will start to dwindle and Bitcoin will become less and less resilient, one node shutting down at a time.

Exactly this. A node sitting on your shelf keeping a copy of the full-history of all on-chain transactions doesn't do anyone any good just sitting there.
Is your wallet connected to it, or do you use some default 3rd party's node?
Do you use it for your own lightning wallet, or do you just use a custodian because it's easy?
Is your bitaxe connected to it for creating your own block templates, or are you just pointing it at a "solo" pool that creates them for you?
When you want to check the status of a pending transaction, do you pull up your own node's mempool explorer, or do you just go to mempool.space?
Run a node for YOU. It doesn't really provide benefit to anyone else, and doesn't provide you any benefit unless you actively use it.
Here to help anyone who wants to learn how.

I absolutely understand how confusing the whole relay setup can be.
Writing to multiple relays is for the purpose of redundancy and censorship resistance. There is nothing that says you need to read from multiple relays, though. If you have one relay that shows you all the notes you want to see, then there's no need to read from more than that.
It's also not just paid relays that are an option for reading from that spammers are not likely to have write access. Web-of-trust relays are also a good option.

Yes, more integrity for the media for sure, since the hash of the data can be checked against the file name to ensure they still match. Redundancy of the media is dependent on it being mirrored to other Blossom servers, though. Currently Amethyst doesn't support mirroring your uploads to multiple Blossom servers. I am hoping that will be coming in a future update, as other Nostr clients HAVE added that feature.

Blossom is a protocol, just like Nostr, but built for hosting media files instead of text notes.
Instead of those files having a traditional file name, the file name is a hash of its content. This means the same file can ve stored on more than one server and if the original server is down, it can easily be located on other servers, because the hash will be the same.
It also means that the file's content can be hashed and checked against the file name to ensure the data hasn't been changed since it was originally updated. No one can pull a fast one by replacing your photo from the Grand Canyon with a gif of Rick Astley.

That has nothing to do with using Amber. Just need to go update your media server settings.
If you use Nostr.Build, I would recommend using their Blossom upload option, https://blossom.band
Anything you upload there will go to your Nostr.Build account, but it will also have the benefit of being content addressable, so it can still be found on any other Blossom server it is mirrored to, in case Nostr.Band is ever down.

It's a very simple principle, really. Don't read from relays that spammers can write to.

2025-06-15 03:21:46 UTC

You know your relay setup is on-point when everyone else is complaining about a new spam attack and you would never have known without seeing their complaints.

Interesting. I knew about its blastr relays, but did not know it also uses NIP-65 for replies to post to the inbox relays of those mentioned.
Is this something we should be expecting relays to handle for us, rather than clients?

Indeed. And also possible credentials to uptate the NIP-05 were compromised at the same time.
All ears for better ways to verify a new npub is legit post-compromise.

I definitely understand the hesitation. Thankfully in this case there is another well known npub that was not compromised to confirm it, and also the NIP-05 got updated quickly.

Happy to hear any suggestion to get around the simple fact that spam will always be rampant when new profiles can be spun up for free and messages can be saved to servers for free with the expectation they will be seen.
You either need to be purposeful about limiting who can put posts in front of your face or you will have spam. There's not really any way around that except to hand that responsibility to a central authority.

There's all sorts of reasons why you may not be able to access their website when the rest of us can. The likelihood is that it isn't on Fountain's end, since no one else seems to have any issue.

Agreed. Not sure what the solution is, though.
The freedom to choose which relays you use is a fundamental principle that we should not abandon, though. Moreover, the outbox model is needed to allow relay selection to remain decentralized.
That means clients are going need to have sensible defaults for new users who don't yet have any relays listed in a kind 10002 or kind 3, so that there is little pain felt immediately upon joining.
We are going to need to have better options for those who want to run their own personal relays, too. Haven is great, but it requires someone technically inclined to run it. We need something like Haven that is click to download, double click to install, and has a GUI for setup and management, and no messing around with setting up a reverse proxy if we expect average users to take advantage of it.
On top of this, we need tools for users to find relays they might want to use that spell out, in plain language, why they would add them to one relay list and not to another.

Yeah, there's not a lot of folks posting kind 20 when they could just post a kind 1 and include an image that will show up in the main feed on most clients.

Wallets are an interesting subject on your node. In one sense, your entire outbound liquidity constitutes your wallet balance, and you can do transactions directly from this balance using Ride the Lightning under Lightning>Transactions. From the Payments tab in that interface you will have a "Send Payment" button at the top where you can paste in a lightning invoice. If you pop over to the Invoices tab, you can choose "Create Invoice" to receive sats to your lightning node.
You will see your "Local Capacity" at the top of the page here. That is effectively your "wallet balance" if you are using your entire node's outbound liquidity as your wallet. It's also where any routing fees you receive will "go." Routing fees are really just the difference between the amount of sats you receive and the amount you forward to the next hop in the route, so you won't see a transaction amount in your wallet for "10 sats - fee income." Instead, you will see it in the Reports section of Ride the Lightning.
Now, I would not recommend using your entire liquidity as your "wallet." One reason for this is, the balance will fluctuate. This is due to your node calculating how much it would cost to close the channel on-chain at the current fee rate. Instead, I would recommend using a sub-wallet with a balance that is a portion of the total outbound liquidity.
Use something like Alby Hub or LNBits to create this sub-wallet. Alby Hub is probably the most user-friendly, while LNBits is probably the most versatile. Then connect the sub-wallet to a wallet app like Alby Go or Zeus via Nostr Wallet Connect. The easiest way to have a lightning address connected to it is to connect the wallet to an Alby account via NWC.

Seems you are operating from a bit narrower definition of "finance" than necessary. It can be simply defined as the science or study of the management of funds, as found in Merriam-Webster, which is quite generic and certainly includes savings.
If you are going to narrow the focus to only those financial constructs that "extract value from the economy without real work," then that's fine, but I would make sure that whoever you converse with is aware you are using the term that way rather than the broader definition.

Alright... Here's what I changed:
OWNER_NPUB - This should obviously be changed to the npub you will be using Haven with.
RELAY_URL - This should be the domain where the relay will be accessible.
Leave the rest of the settings in this top section of the .env as they are unless you have a specific reason to change them and pop down to the Private Relay Settings.
PRIVATE_RELAY_NAME - You can name it whatever you like, but probably don't want to leave it as "utxo's private relay." Each of the other sections allow you to change their name, too.
PRIVATE_RELAY_NPUB - This should be the npub you plan to use the relay with. The private relay will only accept notes authored by that npub. Same applies for all the other sections below that allow you to set the relay npub.
PRIVATE_RELAY_DESCRIPTION - You can leave this as is or change it as you see fit. It just gives those who check the relay description document an idea of what the relay is for.
PRIVATE_RELAY_ICON - Slap in a URL for an icon for your relay. Think of it like your relay's profile picture. Keep it small. You can even have a separate icon for each of Haven's relays, if you want.
I haven't changed anything in the Private Relay Rate Limiters section.
Your "Chat" relay is used for receiving DMs. Apart from the fields similar to the Private relay setup, you may want to adjust the WoT depth, how often the WoT is refreshed, or the minimum number of followers. These settings dictate who can post messages to your DM inbox, so you don't get a bunch of spam DMs. But, if you want to see DMs from people outside of your WoT, you may want to make these less strict by reducing the CHAT_RELAY_MINIMUM_FOLLOWERS to 0, but know that you will start getting spam DMs, too.
Make similar updates as you did in the Private Relay section to the Outbox and Inbox sections, too.
Your Import Settings may also need to have the date updated, depending on when you joined Nostr. Haven will import your notes from other relays from that date to present, based on the relays you instruct it to pull from in the relays_import.json document.
Finally, you may need to add some values in the AWS Backup Settings, if you are having Haven backed up to AWS.
The next document you will want to make sure has all the relays listed that you want to pull from is the relays_import.json. Make sure it is pulling from any and all relays you can remember writing to in the past. It's already including relay.nostr.band, which is an aggregator, so it should be able to find most of your notes, regardless.
And to round it all out, you'll want to edit the relays_blastr.json to include any relays you want your public notes mirrored to. This will only be notes that you are writing to your Haven outbox relay. The default relays are pretty decent, but you may want to make some adjustments. Note, you should not choose any relays that require AUTH for write access, as Haven will be unable to sign their AUTH requests.
Maybe @npub1utx…50e8 and/or @npub1a6w…0tyc can review the above to ensure I haven't given any bad advice. 😂

Hmmm... I can't think of any single video or podcast off the top of my head. That said, here's what I think the basic outline should be:
1. The problem. Give examples of how our current monetary system is working against us via inflationary theft of our time and productivity, creating bad incentives for high-time-preference behavior.
2. The solution. Outline the characteristics of an ideal form of money. Don't mention Bitcoin yet. Just go over what ideal portability, divisibility, durability, verifiability, fungibility, and most importantly scarcity look like in a digital and global economy.
3. Bitcoin as ideal money. Now show how Bitcoin is the form of money that best matches these ideals, and why it is the only one, since other copycats cannot repeat the 0 to 1 innovation, and cannot provide the security and scarcity assurances Bitcoin has built up over time due to the distribution of tens of thousands of full nodes and hundreds of thousands of miners worldwide. That network effect simply can't be broken.
4. Objections. Deal with some of the most common objections, like "How can it be valuable if it's not physical?" and garbage like that.
5. Further education. Provide sources for those who watch the video to learn more about various aspects of Bitcoin, both technical and philosophical, as well as where they can go to get off zero.
Dang... I might just need to make this...

CLN doesn't have NWC built into it, so you would need something that runs on top of it to provide the functionality.

In this transitional world we live in where some clients support the outbox model and some don't, I have come to the following setup:
Kind 10002
- Write to your own Haven outbox relay, and set it up to blast to the 10 most popular public relays.
- Write to and read from a paid relay of your choice. I'll let @npub18kz…x5sz, @npub1226…grkj, and @npub1h49…9kay duke it out for which one you should choose.
- Read from your own WoT relay (set up to aggregate notes from your WoT) and your Haven inbox relay.
Kind 3 - For those clients that support using it to supplement your inbox/outbox setup.
- Read from a couple other WoT relays and aggregators that might fill in some gaps missing in your inbox relays.
- Write to... nothing additional should be needed. Your outbox relays should suffice.
If you don't have your own Haven relay, then some adjustments need to be made. But Haven really is helpful to have. THANK YOU @npub1utx…50e8 and @npub1a6w…0tyc!

Depends on the app. For many Nostr apps, the devs themselves sign the release and you get it just as fast as getting it directly from GitHub, with the added benefit of it being signed by their Nostr key.
However, most other apps are signed by @npub10r8…t2p8, and there can be a delay. Usually not much of a delay, though.
I have generally moved to using the Zapstore, and only use Obtainium for apps that aren't available there. Which is surprisingly few.

In terms of social value, yes. A quote-post without any additional comment is effectively the same as a boost.
However, on a technical level, they are separate things.
The difference between them is defined in NIP-18. Boosts or reposts are kind 6 or kind 16 notes while quote-posts (additional comments included or not) are kind 1 with a reference to the original note in the content of the quote-post.

2025-06-13 17:35:48 UTC

No, they are two different things. I think Coracle leaves them out intentionally. They add nothing of value to the original post, while quote-posting gives the opportunity to add your own comments.
