Testing some more event syncing. nostr:note1tyq37js9g78ps5w74pz9n0568tgceaqa02xuyqed6prt7m4ajpcqhuyv2r

Almost there with private p2p relay. Bridging the pear stack and Nostr!

Embedded relay almost done finally with the private Nostr mode over hyperswarm nearly done. For the multiplayer game client this means that a “private” Nostr mode can be realized with a bunch of local clients embedded relays sharing notes with each other p2p.

I've been relatively quiet on Nostr for the majority of 2024. A lot of fiat mining and other stuff while silently stacking etc. I want to come back here to also time stamp some things that I am working on developing. Nostr has been a great protocol for a lot possibilities with some early personal projects as some cool proof of concepts that others have incorporated into very polished clients (like chat). Also thanks to discovering Keet and listening to some nostr:npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev podcasts I have gone down the Pear and Holepunch stack. My latest project (I may have mentioned a month or so ago) is going to be a Nostr\Hypercore client that allows people to play LAN games across the Internet. I did something like this 20 years ago and I am revamping it in a complete decentralized and client controlled way. Chat and Identity via Nostr Game play coordination via Holepunch I also planned out a private mode, where users didn't have to connect to hosted relays (public mode) keeping things consistent and still using Nostr. This got me on an adjacent project to build an embedded relay library that will have the ability to peer with other users and still use the client like a regular Nostr experience. Simplified for client code and UX. i.e. A p2p chat room of local nostr relays. I sort of remember someone doing this with a p2p relay in the earlier days of Nostr and it's been pretty cool to build. Either way, i'll try to keep more current on developments here as this is going to be slow development (I have maybe 2-3 hours of free time tops). Stay tuned on some long form stuff on how it's going.

Let’s keep building and stacking in 2025. If your code is rough keep building you can fix it. If your stack is light keep stacking it will get there. Slow game, let’s look back and see if we built and stacked more in a year. (Replace build with shitpost if that’s also your thing)

Happy new year my #nostr frens!

Let the OGs with many coins fuck around with medium of exchange. The rest of us need to learn how to save. If you’ve been in the game for less than 4 years and/or don’t believe you’ve saved enough, you may want to focus more on saving.

I call it “pleb’s law” when the moment you buy sats the price goes down. When I was new to this I was distressing because a was chasing the price. Now it’s because I could have gotten cheaper sats. But remember, don’t time the market. Don’t get cute. I’ll just buy, hold, and shut the fuck up.

Since ideas are cheap and I don’t possess the skills or the time to pull it off… If anyone here is familiar with Decentraland, it’s kind of like a Second Life for shitcoiners. I believe it uses a client server set up coupled with IPFS for pulling textures and other data, and the Ethereum network for their shitcoin, MANA, and setting their 3D world state (land ownership etc) I think this could be recreated without the shitcoinery using a fusion of nostr and the pear stack. Lightning could be the “coin”. I think the mixture of those two technologies are really going to create impressive apps in the future.
