Looks like @npub1uh8v...9y4m (Tadge Dryja) wanted to implement Lightning first as a much simpler protocol, with no onion routing, easier to debug, no HTLCs. It was interesting to hear the full story of his Bitcoin life, I don't think it had been told before. Including what happened in the mysterious foundation of Lightning Labs (how it started as a Poon-Dryja company and fast-forward some years and it's just Stark-Roasbeef) and why he stopped working on DLCs.

Today I saw a comment from @𝐃𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐡 on

Zapstore

topaz — Zapstore

a very simple nostr relay for android

and I wanted to reply to it. The Zapstore website wanted me to sign in with an extension to do that, but I only have a bunker, so thought I would open the comment on

Fevela

and reply from there. But the Zapstore website doesn't tell me the note id nor it gives me an nevent code, but it does gives me the author npub, so I tried to just visit that profile and wait for the note to be fetched, but I waited and it wasn't. Turns out the note wasn't in any of the (many) relays of @𝐃𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐡, as the command ~> nak req -k 1111 -a c45041618951bb6012ac23f5cdf3d740465f2d640be841fd9bb1d0733370cd3c --outbox --since yesterday --outbox didn't give me any results. So I guessed that it was only on wss://relay.zapstore.dev. So I ran this command: ~> nak req -k 1111 -a c45041618951bb6012ac23f5cdf3d740465f2d640be841fd9bb1d0733370cd3c --outbox --since yesterday relay.zapstore.dev | nak event --outbox And the note was automatically published to a bunch of places: publishing to nostr.hifish.org... failed: publish: context deadline exceeded publishing to nostr.wine... success. publishing to wot.nostr.net... success. publishing to purplepag.es... failed: msg: blocked: kind 1111 is not allowed publishing to inbox.relays.land... failed: msg: blocked: this event doesn't target any real users publishing to 0xprivacy.nostr1.com... failed: msg: auth-required: you must auth publishing to xmr.usenostr.org... failed: msg: blocked: you must pay admission fee. visit relay url on browser. publishing to relay.nostr.wf... success. publishing to relay.nostr.com.au... success. publishing to auth.nostr1.com... failed: msg: auth-required: you must auth publishing to jskitty.cat/nostr... success. publishing to relay.0xchat.com... success. publishing to premium.primal.net... success. publishing to relay.primal.net... success. publishing to relay.0xprivacy.online... failed: msg: auth-required: authenticate to publish events publishing to pyramid.fiatjaf.com/inbox... success. publishing to spatia-arcana.com/inbox... success. publishing to lightning.red/inbox... success. (Notice that it was also published to my inbox relays because it had a p-tag to me and nak detected it automatically.) This is a success story. Now I can finally respond.

There will come the day in which people will have to pay others to look at their AI-generated websites with lots of gradients, many words but completely void of any useful content whatsoever.

Is Nostr a DDoS machine?

I just learned that

Fevela

A Nostr social client that give you back full control of your attention and time with an innovative interface

has a nice setting that disables automatic link preview rendering in notes and make them show up on mouse over. It's the best of all worlds:

New #pyramid release with absolutely earth-shattering new features: - ephemeral events don't get accepted from anyone by default anymore (you have to explicitly allow them and whitelist the kinds now) so your relay won't overheat from bitchat DDoS (plus other fixes that bring CPU usage lower) - NIP-29 has per-group NIP-50-powered fulltext search now, with automatic language detection based on the first messages sent to the group - built-in video livestreaming server compatible with OBS and zapstream/shosho/etc (and all the other clients that display such streams of course): - a nicer way of defining the list of kinds you accept, by making it a list of deltas from the default kinds (instead of having to list everything by hand): - more stats added to the system view: - online count on the landing page, highlighting who is online (for now this is based on public information only, i.e. only people who published events in the past 10 minutes, same as how Wisp does it): Available for download at

What if we had a relay where new people could manually submit content to and pay a "curation fee", then some smart humans would pocket the fee and manually vet each submission and only allow in those that were deemed high-signal? Would you browse that relay in order to discover new high-signal content and new people to follow? Would you put it in your default relay feeds list or somewhere like that? @Cody @utxo the webmaster 🧑‍💻 @Vitor Pamplona @Fabian @YakiHonne Please let me know if you have a better idea.

I got my first feature implemented:

[Feature]: Change the default theme color from Purple to Gold · Issue #10 · CodyTseng/jumble-ouro

Description "Ouro" mean "gold" in Portuguese, and I think we need some color differentiation so we can distinguish this from the normal Jumble, so ...

How is Nostr today? Did we get any new users? The last to join I think was @Havok two months ago.
