Edited post? Really?
Is this an issue?
The nips will multiply until morale improves.
I believe only the base protocol needs to be standardized. After that, a standard for creating application-specific events or event types should be established, allowing for unambiguous numbering for each subprotocol or application. Each application can then create its own standards, separate from the base protocol.
exactly!
Sorry 🤦♂️ 
Isn't that how you loose the interoperability after time?
we already lost interoperability
see this thread?
0xchat and amethyst are in conflict because both are using the protocol in different ways. Interoperability is already compromised;
ele inseriu o link pra um perfil de forma fora do padrão:
(o certo seria "nostr:npub...", ou so o npub, sem a arroba. A maioria dos clientes não vai aceitar. parece bug do 0xchat)

Oh crap 😮💨
so either you simplify the main protocol and any fancy stuff clients implement must be done in optional events or fields, or you make anything into nips everyone has to follow and the protocol becomes bloated and new clients will never be able to keep up.
Agree 💯
I’m a bit confused. 0xChat doesn’t use @npub, which is not the standard practice.
What do you mean? 0xChat is built on Nostr, and your account is based on your npub. Can you explain a bit more?
What I’m referring to here is the implementation of mentions :). Some clients use @npub, but the standard practice is nostr:npub.
I’ll make a NIP just lemme learn to code first
the thing, some clients are using it, others are not. so interoperability was compromised by clients implementing non standard features.
It's always frustrating when a client decides to buck the standards in favor of some unique implementation. I wish interoperability was prioritized more often than it is.
I am always fascinated by the variety of nips
Allegedly we already have too many NIPs.

How do you ensure no one sees the original message if you edit the post?
