Considering what I figured out with NSP (Nostr Silent Payments), I'm not worried about this (as in i'm not worried about an authority of some kind freezing an address, because there wouldn't be a static address through a normal payment flow through NSP).View quoted note →

I might have figured something out...! Will write/publish something later and share it to get thoughts on itView quoted note →

I'm guessing by next week i'd do public testing of the discord alt (at least web view, hoping for pc clients as well)

Alright... thought of / planned out what I think would be the best structure/flow for a discord alt, time for implementing it then testing to see if it'll turn out to be good or not. Took me some time to realize "wait a minute, i'm not making signal and the like, a bunch are already doing that, i'm making discord, why am i trying to achieve a higher standard than I should?" and continued with that mindset / its underlying assumptions.

Just a quickie

(check the DEPLOYMENT.md for installation on a linux server) Here's a quick video guide to installing one on a linux server: It's probably rough af and messy, but it's better to put something out there to play around with and improve as time goes on. (I'd honestly want to refactoring everything from the start, but that'd waste a lot of time and not having something out there for others to check isn't a good thing imo) You can read about the DNN project (read me and node-policy) and its NIPs (specifically NIP-DN) here:

DNN

A decentralized, Bitcoin-anchored naming system for nostr and the web.

Couldn't be at #soveng unfortunately for SEC-06 (Identity) and SEC-07 (Network, ICANN DNS/IANA), this project pretty much fits for both cohorts. Identity & Signers (SEC-06): I made a desktop signer, DENOS, that's basically the user's nostr identity manager, that's also a wallet manager (eCash, focusing on nutzap management, and native bitcoin with both native segwit and taproot for two different purposes, DNN ID/TLD acquisition & management, local signing flow and a username/password sign-in flow, and later down the line I'd add what I'm calling Nostr Silent Payments (multi-currency, Bitcoin multisig but with good/clear UX, and a merchant e-commerce POS system (that includes traditional fiat payments). When a new user comes and generates a nostr keypair, they don't have to do anything else aside from that and you can immediatly send them eCash (nutzap focused, so no heavy token management), native bitcoin, or (later) other crypto and their tokens. And if they grab a DNN ID, aside from turning their npub (63 chars of gibberish) into a human-readable/memorable/usable/locally-meaningful ID (8-16 chars), it would also decently add to their WoT score from day 0. The Network Stack (SEC-07): There's a lot here, but focused on the ICANN-DNS problem as well as the Certificate Authority problem. With DNN, you can now have https://example.nabandonaread or https://example.naboutzook , where you acquire a Top-Level Domain (TLD) by sending yourself bitcoin from your bitcoin address that was derived from your npub and publishing a few events (DENOS has this function / as easy as it can be), and after acquring a TLD, you can have many domains at no extra cost. Forever yours, no requiring payments, no auctions, no fomo, and no trading, as simple and as fast and as cost-effect as it can be, and scales well (and it doesn't add anything to Bitcoin). SSL/TLS doesn't require CA as well, the cert would be self-signed (still secure) and you can put a thousand year validity if you want (set and forget). It should also be prepped (i hope, didn't do much testing on this part) for a Tollgate and FIPS future. Other: DNN solves other problems as well, secondary-effect benefits: - Nostr relay discovery problem (solves missing posts/messages, etc) - Relay centralization (no need to post or read from popular relays) - Impersonations (easily identify the correct person to follow) - Long event addresses (shorten event post from 150-260 chars to 18-26 chars) - Unfamiliar login flow (bringing back traditional username/password login flow, but evovled) - More Hit me up with any questions/feedback/topics, publically or privately, text or call (or in VRC, that would be fun y not x3) about any of this, especially if you want to implement DNN support in your nostr client (I forked Jumble and added support for it there, including some of the other benefits/NIPs like username/password login, local signer login, ID resolution, event addressing shortening, but forgot to add node query for user relay to be utilized so perhaps later), check it out:

Good discussion about NIP-29. My opinion of it change from "wtf is this?" based on misunderstood assumptions, to "ok it's not that worrying". Would I use it as it currently is? Depending on what I want to make, and with the mentality of aiming at a target audience that want to 'self-host', then maybe. Would I use an altered version of it (if you read in the discussion what that is)? More towards yes in a general sense but hard to say still for me. For the Discord alt I'd build... there are pros in and cons for different approaches, in regards to reach that Discord quality of everything but with decentralization and censorship resistant / nostr in mind, NIP-29 or otherwise. I'll take a few days digesting everything to everything before seeing what I'd do. Leaning towards something custom but a mish-mash of things existing things... we'll see.View quoted note →

I figured out how to word my dislike of most turn-based games: Aside from being generally boring to play, there is barely any or no skill involved to the gameplay (keep in mind i said "most turn-based games"). Persona, for example, you can't do decent damage? You're dead. Elden Ring, even if you're naked with one HP and the beginner sword, you can finish the game if you're skilled and patient enough. An example of turn-based games where good skill is involved (unless you're a robot?) where it's not just bigger number = better, that'd be Chess. Another example, though i haven't played it yet, that leans away from no-skill-turn-based, seems like it'd be Expedition 33. #gaming

Seems like there's discourse with NIP-29 again? Yea it's still bad, at least in the sense of building a product for the general public. I think I don't like it because it makes me thing of ActivityPub/Mastodon (it's not it, but it's decently leaning towards it). The Discord alt I'll be building won't follow this NIP at all.View quoted note →
