@hodlbod What's going on when I upload media using coracle? I got a prompt from nos2x about signing a "POST" message. What nip is that?
(Also kind of amusing that we're now re-implementing HTTP request/response methods inside websockets lol)

Neanderthal hacking on Bitcoin stuff. LNHANCE please!
I know the answer is probably just "write one yourself" but is there a tool to just tail the events coming in to a relay and watch the json roll in? (maybe with a pause button and some simple filters) I want to look at what NIPs are actually in use, basically.
Concept: out-of-band styling information encoded into a tag for kind 1.
It seems fairly different from the data other tags carry, but I don't think there's any fundamental reason a multi-character tag couldn't carry that kind of data. (Single character tags shouldn't, because they may be indexed, per NIP-12)
Ack? Nack?
I kind of like out-of-band styling because it can be backwards compatible for plain text systems, and is agnostic about input format (markdown, some kind of WYSIWYG editor, etc).
I know there are several cons, but I find those pros compelling.

> Our current mailing list host, Linux Foundation, has indicated for years
that they have wanted to stop hosting mailing lists, which would mean
the bitcoin-dev mailing list would need to move somewhere else. We
temporarily avoided that, but recently LF has informed a moderator that
they will cease hosting any mailing lists later this year.
...
> Many other projects have moved from mailing lists to forums (eg
– see ; or https://ethresear.ch/),
which seem easier to maintain and moderate, and can have lots of
advanced features beyond plaintext, maybe-threading and
maybe-HTML-markup.
>
> Who would host the forum? Would there be agreement around which forum software to use or which forum host? What about bitcointalk.org or delvingbitcoin.org?
There are many options available. Maybe what we actually want isn’t so
much a discussion forum, as an 'arxiv of our own' where anons can post
BIP drafts and the like?
Can nostr step up here? Other than the relative immaturity of the software ecosystem, it seems like a pretty good fit. The only missing piece mentioned is email notifications, and that would be easy to whip up.
I'd also suggest (again) that we need a rich text note, different from long form articles, and probably some easy way to dump a thread into a tarball for archival, but otherwise, nostr seems like a decent fit.

Leaving python-dev behind
It was not all that long ago that Python began its experiment with replacing one of its mailing [...]
Has anyone started on a Q&A nostr app? (Think StackOverflow)
@calle is there a signet/testnet cashu mint? It's unclear if that's what the cashu.me default mint is. Sorry for the blatant lack of rtfm
Has anyone written about the legal aspects of chaumian mints? (cashu and fedimint) Particularly for Americans.
I know fedimint was designed to be regulatory friendly, but I recall the consequence was the "fedi" part gets kneecapped. If I wanted to run a fedimint for my family that would be ok but it's totally useless since within my family we tend not to exchange money anyway, it's the money in and out of the family that matters.
@PABLOF7z What if kind 1s used a tag to signal they are markdown? ["ct", "text/markdown"]? Markdown is designed to be readable as plain text, so even though it probably would make fiatjaf mad (good! lol), it is pretty backwards compatible with unaware clients. It has the advantage over a new kind in that unaware clients wouldn't end up with broken threads.
