What we once had (at the height of the XMPP era of the Internet) (2023)

A group of technology enthusiasts clamoring for an open DM protocol and no one telling them about the great news of NIP-17 privacy-preserving messaging that works + user-chosen relays for maximum decentralization. View quoted note →

I don't know when was the last time you tried or upgraded #nak, but there are some new (or maybe not super new) useful things (and hopefully not too many new bugs) that may interest you: - "nak profile <pubkey-npub-nprofile-nip05-etc>", easily the most useful of the newish commands, I use it all the time to get the name of some random pubkey I see in the output of other nak commands. - "nak group info/members/admins <nip29-group-address>", displays information about that group. then there is "nak group chat" that streams the chat room live in readable format, together with "nak group chat send" to send a message (from another terminal); "nak group talk" that yields a URL you can visit to join the group chat room in your browser; "nak group forum" displays the forum view of that group, together with "nak group forum create/comment" for creating a new thread of commenting on an existing thread. - "nak bunker --profile <name>" stores your bunker data in a file under that name such that you can restart it later easily; then if you use this profile name you can later run "nak bunker connect --profile <name> 'nostrconnect://...'" from another terminal window to connect using the "scan QR code" flow instead of the "paste bunker URI" flow. - "nak dekey" manages your NIP-4E decoupled encryption key (famously supported in Coop and Jumble DMs). - "nak git" I think I've mentioned before, but it works pretty well, I use it everyday and as a has ton of subcommands I won't mention here. - "nak validate" takes events as input and tells if they have all the required tags and in the expected formats according to https://github.com/nostr-protocol/registry-of-kinds. - also when doing "nak req" or "nak event" you can pass an --outbox flag and nak will figure out the relays to connect to on your behalf, it will do that smartly according to the event authors, tags or parameters in the filters.

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.

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.

I just learned that

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.

[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 @npub1dyxg...2yuy two months ago.

This is a huge attack on your privacy, beware. View quoted note → Probably run by the Mossad.
