This is horrible so I couldn't listen, but imagine a real world rapper doing a music with this title:

This looks like a good idea.

I'd say it's extra complexity that is not really solving any problem we have. Nostr is already pretty resilient against DNS issues. But if someone is really out to get someone and Nostr isn't good enough then DNS isn't much worse than the entire IP protocol that relies on one central registry and hierarchy of addresses that is very permissioned. If we are to spend efforts on this layer then I'd rather go for the entire IP thing and make it possible for networks to be assembled in decentralized and permissionless ways using local cables and wireless infrastructure, then merge together forming an ever-growing parallel internet, with decentralized routing that scales globally. This is my idea: But, if Nostr is already struggling to get a few users and not be irrelevant, imagine something like this.

It is perfectly rational to dislike when someone has 10 items and wants to give each a unique identifier that is a number larger than the number of atoms in the universe.

That's what Frostr does. My assumption is that it's worse because it creates this requirement on all clients, while the Promenade bunker works anywhere with a generic interface. It's faster also in theory because signers are already connected directly to the coordinator. See But yes, if everybody agreed and all apps included this coordinator then it would be technically better. We'll need a strong standard for it and bully everybody to support it.

Couve wallet will be huge in Brazil.

I don't know, I've heard a lot about agents and Nostr and whatnot but I remain unconvinced.

The Pubky app has one thing that at least looks interesting: this tagging stuff with words. It's the only useful feature of NIP-32 that is underexplored on Nostr. Thinking about it's very similar to what people have been doing with emoji reactions here and in many other apps, except for the fact that emoji reactions are stupid, undecipherable and useless and emojis are one of the lamest inventions of the internet. Also self-tagging posts is stupid, it's much better to allow yourself or anyone else to add tags after the fact instead of requiring the post creator to somehow figure out the best tags forever for their post at creation time. But, again, even with NIP-32 tagging of posts we still cannot do "trending tags" or "hashtag feeds" without relying on relay native filtering capabilities, otherwise it will always be a slugfest.

can you please stop following the fake "fiatjaf" on X? You're one of the last few high-profile accounts lending some cred to the scam.

Is that really what we need? To lock people's access to things in their phones that can be lost or break anytime? Or they (and services) have to go through infinite undocumented hops for things to work in other ways? Besides that it's proprietary technology with a 300-page or more spec that is impossible for normal people to implement but they try to sell it as an open protocol or something.

can probably arrange that.

this was on Coracle, so it's your fault.

NixOS requires expensive computers.

What do you think of going full p2p with iroh instead of using relays? (Assuming it works.) I mean, if the idea is to ditch Nostr to something more idealistic and more "correct" than that path should at least be considered. Relays were the Nostr compromise to make things "work" because p2p has never worked in practice (in theory I also think it doesn't work), but the iroh people swear it works now, so who knows. One problem with pure p2p is that people have to keep devices online, but that can be solved with adhoc "relays" which are actually just nodes -- you eliminate the distinction between clients and relays and just query nodes for stuff, people can nominate other nodes (identified by public keys just like their own devices) to host their stuff while they're offline. Another problem with pure p2p is that you don't get discovery of new content, you only fetch stuff from people you already know -- but again here we can defer to these adhoc relays to curate and host content from others and you can call these to download stuff and expect to get back quality content from people you don't know, and maybe you'll start following these people.

You meant to say "finally!".

Yes, you can.

This is pretty good:

`nak bunker` should now persist your authorized pubkeys, secret key and list of relays, so you can do something like `nak bunker --profile myself --sec ncryptsec1whatever relay.nsec.app khatru.nostrver.se` once, then later `nak bunker --profile myself` and it will keep your previously authorized client connections working. Please report bugs.

https://lockbox.fiatjaf.com, https://zapbox.fiatjaf.com and https://labour.fiatjaf.com will be shut down soon. If all goes right they will be revived later under a different domain.

Somehow I quoted the note twice.

Mine was never bricked, I think it's been like 6 years.
