how about i solve real problems ... and still nobody cares
does that get double points?
Do you think I'm solving a fake problem no one has?
Nope. I think Routstr needs to mature though.
Provider vetting should be a feature, where any curator (could have a default one) can publish a list of *thoroughly vetted* providers. They probably won't be the cheapest, but they won't be slurping up your data either.
It's already live :)
My npub is the default curator right now and you can change the npub in the config.
Am I the Dictator of Routstr? 😈
I just disabled the Otrta Routstr node by publishing a single Nostr event, an audit event. Because it started being buggy.
All Routstr clients fetch these audit events periodically to enable/disable Routstr nodes. If a node is found to be buggy or malicious, clients will know about it asap and stop using that node. No centralized backend, no vendor-lock in. Everything is transparent and public.
Currently, I'm the only auditor. (You are welcome to audit nodes). Of course, it's very easy to switch to a different auditor, you just change the npub in your config file. Everything is local and open-source.
The event:

Right now my main concern is rug pulling and draining user funds, but many of the node runners are in my WoT and I trust them to not collect data or do prompt injection.
problems are subjective yknwo. you might think its a problem but many others don't think its a problem or is not a priority for them rn.
A proactive approach is better in this case than a reactive one, imo. Unless your audit system requires active approval.
yeah. but also ... no. build a fire chariot and people will lament you haven't given them a horse. there is no winning, only surviving
Private Provider does not collect any data or engage in any other malicious behavior. My mission is to offer continuous uptime and quality upstream models so users have a good first experience with a project I believe in.
But but but if users can't share 3 second viral videos over relays Nostr is going to die 😫😫😫😫
Don't even get me started on cashu/ecash. Fedi is the real thing in the ecash space.
As for me, the nonexistent problem I'm solving is compasable libraries as opposed to monoliths. Only worth it if it gains traction and altogether too much effort to adopt so no one will but me.
People keep telling me this. I guess I don't have confidence in their ability to know which problems they have.
cyphergrants create problems
You will always find a person that has this exact problem 🥲
It requires active approval. In the event I have linked above, you can see there's a tag that with "bad" as value.
Only nodes with 38425 events with "lgtm" tag value are accepted by routstr clients. Every other node (including nodes without any events) are disabled by default. It's my responsibility to ensure new nodes slowly get adoption (still unclear about the official process but yeah). It is sorta censorship, but users have the ultimate control ofc.
tag with "bad" as its value*
every other node is disabled*
damn, humans are so bad at grammar arent they
