@JeffG you can stay on LinkedIn as long as you just use it to shill nostr cc @ODELL 😉

nostr is a protocol to coordinate a public commons it’s differentiated in its neutrality and architecture which makes information resilient to suppression it’s neutrality makes it the obvious choice for any non-neutral systems to adopt when collaborating with other non-neutral systems this is why nostr wins

@JeffG just listened to your CD pod. great job! a few follow-up questions: + does your stuff work just as well for group DMs? are there other tradeoffs? + do you imagine people choose 1 or a limited set of relays for the DM purpose or generally publish messages similar to how trad nostr works? + are you familiar with @Keychat ? what do you think of the ecash/stamp idea for DMs? + are you considering building the best DM client or do you want to focus on the protocol and encourage others to build the best client?

@moneyball and I were just playing with

iris docs

Very impressive @Sirius, thanks for building this and showing us what can be done here! 👏 few questions: + I logged in as me, but noticed only a subset of my relays were shown in settings. Are those ones that support a specific protocol extension/NIP? + If this gets broadly adopted do you imagine IrisDB is an additional type of infrastructure/software that most relays would choose to support or does it have enough additional tradeoffs that it might be a specialized type of infrastructure provider? + @moneyball created a new document and shared it with me and it looked like we were both enabled to collaborate, but I was only able to edit/update the title of the doc. There were some problems persisting my changes to the title. These might be known bugs, but I’m happy to provide more detail in case it’s useful. Also, I totally understand if it’s just early/prototype/known issues. + I wasn’t quite sure what to do with Canvas and Chat document types. Maybe they are just early prototypes? I can kinda see where Canvas might go, but not sure I have as strong a sense about Chat. Can you tell more what you have in mind? Is it a way to push the frontier on IrisDB further for chat to be used in other applications (e.g. zap.stream has this kind of chat room)?

no one is owed reach on a platform, but what gets distributed impacts what people choose to say

“corporate algorithm” is another way to say “ministry of truth”

i could not be more bullshit. thanks, fam! 🫡

who’s got the new stickers?

wheels up SF 🛫

i’m noticing several projects in nostr going after similar goals who don’t seem to be collaborating. i’m not sure if that’s for perceived competition, a very different approach to the problem spaces, or general lack of communication about project goals. with open source software i would expect more collaboration. if you’re building something in nostr i’m curious why you may not be collaborating with others building similar/relevant stuff.

how do you decide what is true?

who is pursuing the independent digital forensic investigation to uncover more info about user coinbase on minecraft?

what if bitcoin is the social technology and nostr is the public commons infrastructure that enables it to reach more people? #ideasfromtheedge cc @Max
