@nprofile…s456 is there a chance that Ditto overwrote my kind 0? I see my old one everywhere now, and it has a timestamp of almost 2 hours ago when I signed in with this client

I forget about Ditto, great client I should use more!
But no, it doesn't work. Keeps Loading (spinner). With nostrudel at least I saw "request" and "response" in the daemon logs. Not here. I generated a new URI just in case, and restarted but no luck

Happy thanksgiving!

2024-11-29 00:34:01 UTC

A bit confused with URIs. Each time I generate a new one for the same name (nsec), it returns a different pubkey. So when I log in with nostrudel Nostr Connect, I see every time in the UI I'm using a different npub

Even if not REST at least JSON over HTTP

2024-11-29 00:01:58 UTC

Not having REST next to websockets as part of NIP-01 i think is a mistake
Imagine being able to access the whole network just with curl.
It's negating a great usage avenue for no good reason

Cool, I just saw the docs on export/import. nice

2024-11-28 22:08:47 UTC

It also requires a NIP-98 auth event... feels very convoluted - but maybe I'm wrong.
If you had to design it, how would you go about it, including the auth?

2024-11-28 22:03:50 UTC

Totally. None of this was not directed at you. Maybe at Satoshi? 😅

NIP-86 is over HTTP

2024-11-28 21:38:14 UTC

- reply

It takes more time to type, but less time to read and understand which is more important, imo
Too many programmers do not pay attention to naming things properly (speaking in general here) and this is easily avoidable technical debt.
In addition, it looks nicer. It's better to work with things that look nicer and not sloppy.

2024-11-28 20:31:33 UTC

Checking out NIP-86, a JSON RPC-like protocol.
All method names are lowercase, like "listeventsneedingmoderation"
Is it so difficult to name things like a normal person, e,g. ListEventsNeedingModeration or I'm missing something here?
Same question would go for Bitcoin Core, btw.

Maybe that needn't be solved at the relay level

2024-11-27 16:02:14 UTC

- reply

No because of the problems I mentioned. If I include PWAs it will make UX terribly confusing. It needs a lot of thinking to get right.

2024-11-27 16:00:01 UTC

Yes, there are a few like that. That may help discovery but really not much more.

Listening to legend cashu developer @nprofile…xnfk on Citadel Dispatch with @nprofile…fslc, talking about cashu.me and PWAs and this triggered some thoughts.
Needless to say PWAs are an effective way of distributing applications permissionlessly, especially on iOS, but there's a few drawbacks I wanted to mention.
- Hard to install: the fact that you have multiple steps that need explanation (go to the hamburger menu, tap on install, but on iOS use Share...). As insignificant as this sounds, it's a major UX hurdle for users and why I think PWAs are not more widespread. Apple and Google know this very well.
- Harder to discover: though not needing an app store is an upside, it hurts discoverability, especially on app stores with a social layer like @nprofile…tdq0
- Reliance on domain names: Not a huge problem but definitely not as sovereign as private keys
- Hard to verify releases: since you pull data and UI from a website, it's unclear when you have upgraded, impractical to sign and next to impossible to audit a particular release. Websites typically perform lots of deployments every day
I have plans for @nprofile…tdq0 itself to become a PWA to distribute PWAs, too, and looking forward to find out how to minimize these problems without losing the freedom the web provides.

2024-11-25 15:18:47 UTC

True. But Zapstore universal is smaller than that, and some packages easily go over 300 MB. There's probably a lot of garbage in there too

2024-11-25 14:54:14 UTC

It is still pain, the pain of not showing enough status, etc

Purely for the money sounds hollow but it is often true that money is a proxy for success: making what people want. A lot of the time in this space we are condescending with what people want, since they are clueless fiat normies or whatever we call them. I don't want to build for the masses necessarily though definitely for a much wider demographic than cypherpunks.

2024-11-25 11:36:05 UTC

While my situation is quite different, a lot of Tony's article resonated with me. Great read.
A few quotes:
The thought of doing something else felt like betraying not just my career path but also my beliefs, my community, and years of dedicated work
I've stepped back from the endless cycle of trying to prove Bitcoin's worth to a world that wasn't asking for it.
1. My efforts in this space are technically challenging/impressive yet unnecessary and don't matter. High-risk and low-reward. 2. Most Bitcoin startups and efforts also fall under this, but the clear value is in exchanges.
The ones that make it through are either bending the knee to the state, resorting to degeneracy, or doing low-risk but sustainable work, potentially setting themselves up to leech off the real hard work of others. I've realized this and had enough. I work hard, I care about my work, I hate bullshit, and I want to make a meaningful impact while being realistic about what I can change in any given domain.

Do you have any particular setup, or do you use DNS/ad blockers, maybe with a VPN? There are a few people that have big issues like you, but afaik most don't, so it's terribly difficult to debug

People will discover nostr through great products built on it - not purple pilling the protocol.

There are many great alternatives to Keet features, however. Not the case for desktop operating systems. I use MacOS (kinda forced to) and Linux, and Graphene on mobile.

Yes, I know the pear stack is foss. It's just that there is no way to verify what Keet is doing with messages and metadata. Need to assume anything you send there is public.

Appreciate your answer and nothing against you, but if this is what they say that justification makes no sense to me.
Which are the Keet-specific parts that lots of other things would be built on? Does their stack has that much traction with developers? Or is it something else?
Too much cathedral/ central planning for an open protocol for my taste
