Kinda interesting. I bet using other HIDs (like AKAI drum pads...) would be really useful with that to control variables and effects...

Possible, however I think negentropy syncing is a requirement otherwise it'll be far too inefficient and slow to communicate with hundreds, thousands and more relays.

Unfortunately, I don't think so.
However, it could definately be possible with a Lightning or Ecash wallet that would send payments upon successful probabilistic proofs of storage with merkle tree challenges. It could be compatible with Torrents. I don't know about bandwidth though, perhaps also a Lightning or Ecash payment for high bandwidth access. That higher bandwidth access could be tokenized for gratuitious sharing, e.g. sponsored bandwidth.

From my understanding, 'invalidate' or 'revocation' are not the best descriptors. The old keys could still produce a valid signature, it's just that the participants, with new keys, choose to no longer use the older keys, though they may still be stored. That refreshing of the keys wouldn't however require a new public key to verify.

Yeah, sort of, I have not continued to work on it more though as it didn't seem like the right time yet and busy with other work in the meanwhile.
I'm now more of the opinion that changes needed can be done when "follows" are not all packed into one replaceable event, but are each an event and can be used to distribute copies with attestations of kind 0 metadata.
Those atteststions can then inform clients if there was a change to someone's pubkey. This can be useful to display a message such as "n number of people you follow used to follow x and now follow y, and x has been marked compromised/transferred/ended/sold/etc".

I remember working on bitcoin libraries for multisig hardware wallets and thinking to myself, all that security is kinda moot when all it takes is *one* dependency from NPM to be compromised and every one of the signers, using identical software, signs the wrong thing. We ended up with zero third-party libraries and we checked the signatures of every package, with Git, when updating. Stay frosty.

"The nationstates of the modern period emerged spontaneously as a coincidental by-product of industrial technology that raised returns to violence. Now information technology is reducing the returns to violence. This makes politics anachronistic and irretrievable, no matter how earnestly people might wish to preserve it into the next millennium."

Pubkeys that have only a few followers would be more vulnerable to denial-of-service than those with many followers. Each follower could help extend their distributed-ness and robustness.
This is also how Nostr relays are becoming more denial-of-service resistant. If Alice can write to her own relays and in addition to the relays of those that follow her (directly or indirectly), her profile and notes are more robust. For notes/events that are reposted, this could increase even farther.
For kind-0 (profile meta) and kind-10002 (relay listing meta) events, the replication could automatically extend to not only followers, but also to followers of followers and etc.

I've found that relay.westernbtc.com is one that supports negentropy syncing that is good to add. Several people use nostr.wine however they don't yet support negentropy syncing; looking forward to more options. Running one on your own hardware is also another good option, Start9 and Umbrel may have some options for running a strfry relay via it, however I am less familiar with this area. I think relays will be developed a lot in the next year, along with simple hosting options for media and video streaming and etc.

2024-10-11 16:31:16 UTC

When using multiple Nostr clients, wouldn't it make more sense for a "follow" to be its own event rather than editing one event with all follows listed. Multiple clients wouldn't conflict with each other and clobber the other because of stale information.

I am not sure how the linking would work between the previous npub and the next npub for clients or relays for all previous events.
Especially considering that everything from the previous key can't be trusted anymore, as an attacker could post with any timestamp on notes/events.
Perhaps the next npub could make a merkle tree of all the valid events from the past, and sign the root and provide proofs — this might get complex quickly though.
An npub could have a bootstap archive of events to "spawn" a new identity?

I recently made several simplifications to the draft NIP and implementation on key revocation and migration.
I think it's very close!
In particular, having a way for users to verify another user's profile either privately or publicly, should be very useful. If a profile ever becomes compromised, the user's profile name, image website, NIP-05 and other user metadata can all be "pinned" and remain uncompromised.

I've started to read more fiction again after reading a lot of economic books. I could see there being more science fiction that is based on Austrian economics. Alternative timelines of history where central banking didn't have a century of proliferation and war, were gold continued to be money instead of fiat. Is this a genre? What are some books that are similar?

Cool part of having relays as part of the protocol design is that all of these are an option without adding complexity.
One of the largest centralizing forces on the web has been DDoS mitigation services like CloudFlare, which often goes undiscussed or unnoticed. Same for email.
Lightning, Ecash, Bitcoin, PoW, WoT all help mitigate DDoS and spam without centralizing. It's huge.

I am at a stable spot for development on satdress, for a bit.
https://github.com/braydonf/satdress
There are a few things to fix and add still, however it does a bulk of what was intended.
Some additional ideas for later:
- Include an optional njump or oracolo interface (or similar) for each configured user page, so it can function as a business or personal website.
- Release distribution to Umbrel, Start9, DigitalOcean and others.
- Test with minimal hardware to see the lower bound requirements.
- Add multiple wallet connections per user.

I just completed a Zap from #Amethyst from #phoenixd with Nostr Wallet Connect.
Work-in-progress for #NWC support for phoenixd is here:
https://github.com/braydonf/satdress/tree/nwc
I also added a CLI tool for exporting the NWC connection string and QRcode from the terminal.

One way, if you're on Debian/Ubuntu or similar, is from the terminal:
qrencode --type png --size 256 --output <filename>.png "lightning:<user>@<domain.tld>"
There are other output types such as "ansiutf8" that can output to the terminal.

For video channels, FreeTube is like NewPipe, however for desktop instead of mobile. It's pretty decent thus far. Could be interesting to have Nostr + Bitcoin video channels with these or similar applications.

Is the book 'End The Fed' by Ron Paul translated into Spanish? It could be very relevant to the upcoming election in Argentina.

So is there an unspoken #nostr client rule that if you keep https:// in a link in a note the links will unfurl with a preview and if you don't they are left as-is?
