@Mazin it looks like nostr.wine is asking for auth without sending a challenge. Tested in coracle and snort:

@𝕾𝖊𝖗 𝕾𝖑𝖊𝖊𝖕𝖞 you asked what I thought of WoT relays, I didn't have a chance to answer. I think they're cool, but they have to be used correctly. Archiving is great, uncle jim-ing outbox is also a good use case (although I imagine they wouldn't work for dms or inbox). Also good as custom feeds, curated by people whose taste you like (although you could just load that up directly by requesting based on someone's follow list). I think all of these use cases are pretty weak, since there are other heuristics for finding the same content in most cases.

Thanks to @ODELL for a great conversation

Never underestimate the extent to which what we want determines what we believe

Hey @Ben Arc, want to come on @npub1mlca...8jpa sometime and talk about socialism?

Remember how I was writing a book? Well, I gave up on it. But then I wrote a different one:

Building Nostr - A Guide for Developers

This book is both practical and philosophical. It ellides a lot of the details you can otherwise get by reading Nostr NIPs, focusing instead on all the things I've learned over three years working on nostr. It includes a number of contrarian opinions which may be partially or completely wrong. Feel free to disagree, or even tell me where I'm wrong. I'll be releasing updates to the book as I have time and inclination to repent of my mistakes and omissions. The book is free, with epub and pdf versions available for your reading pleasure. If you like the book, you can send me bitcoin via nostr or at

Geyser | Bitcoin Crowdfunding Platform

A Bitcoin crowdfunding platform where creators raise funds for causes, sell products, manage campaigns, and engage with their community.

and if people like it enough I may publish a version that you can touch with your fingers.

Just learned about Fisher Ames: > Ames was on the committee that inaugurated President Washington, he framed the final accepted wording in the First Amendment regarding freedom of religion in 1789 and fought many key legislative battles successfully for the Federalists in Congress. > Ames died on July 4th, 1808, at the age of fifty; making him the first of three Founding Fathers who died on July 4th - along with Thomas Jefferson and John Adams - who both died in 1826.
