Eventually I'll implement a FROST bunker that doesn't rely on Google. In theory it would work with any other form of login, raw email or even just a bunker-specific password, but nothing is easier and lower hanging fruit than Google. I'm not saying these other messaging protocols are good enough, I just wish there was something that was and could be integrated with Nostr, but since there isn't we're forced to roll our own. I mean Jumble and Coop use this: https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/per-device-keys/4e.md

A domain is not a hard requirement, but if you don't have one then people in web clients won't be able to connect. IP by itself would work in a native client, I think, but who gets a static IP on their homes? And even then how do they expose their relay server through their home router? Some people can do it, but people have tried to run Lightning nodes on raspberry pis for years and as far as I know the best solution they found was to use Tor, which is so weird as a solution I don't see what they're thinking. I don't see how Tailscale fixes anything unless you have a server with a reverse proxy in front, in which case you should just run the relay in that server.

"Also, beware of people who try to make many circles around a square just for generating confusion, or people who will draw a line very close to another line to try to win by not leaving any room for something to go there when there should be.

Some new #nak features since the last time I mentioned new features: - nak git ls [subdir]: lists files in remote repositories (without cloning). - nak git cat <path>: prints a file content (idem). - nak git history: lists commits for a remote repository (idem). - nak git pr: opens new NIP-34 pull requests or browses open pull requests. - nak serve: supports --auth flag for requiring a useless AUTH from everybody (any pubkey will be accepted, it's just for testing stuff) . - nak req/fetch/event commands support a --jq flag that can be used for very crazy oneliners in computers that don't have jq installed (scripts run inside --jq can access a bunch of special helper functions for reading tags, parsing dates etc). - nak admin: supports NIP-43 roles. - nak publish: works better, can read from stdin, supports kind:1111 comments. - nak group: support NIP-29 subgroups. - nak group chat: streams chat with parsed nostr:... entities turned into usernames, other links and hashtags colored differently. - nak bunker: always display bunker information at the bottom, courtesy of nostr:npub1u035wtfjf9h79r94srwljmekwrczhyq9a2760a23dpeh2ulgh09s08njfd. - nak fetch and nak group: support NIP-AD web addresses (NIP-05 of things). - dozens of fixes from nostr:npub1937vv2nf06360qn9y8el6d8sevnndy7tuh5nzre4gj05xc32tnwqauhaj6. - no more hardcoded key "01" for everybody, now each computer gets a supposedly unique key based on some CPU number (do not use this as your real key, it's only for testing)(it can be bypassed with the $NOSTR_SECRET_KEY environment variable, as always). - same for the default bunker client key (for when you pass a bunker URI to --sec in any command).

I've installed 3 Chatmail clients on my phone today (I think Chatmail is the name of the protocol, but everybody calls it Delta Chat, but then Chatmail doesn't present itself as an interoperable protocol either, it presents itself as a collection of software projects and it's unclear whether Delta Chat is part of it or a spin off): - Delta Chat - Arcane Chat - WhatsDown The 3 are basically the same app. I didn't check but they probably share 99% of the codebase. I don't understand. Also they allow you to share an invite link for others to talk to you, but I couldn't take the invite link from one and paste on the other because there is no place to paste, only a place to read a QR code. It's not clear whether I'm supposed to share this invite link publicly or if it's a private thing for only one person to message me (the invite link is big and full of metadata in it). If it's private how am I supposed to send it to someone, using another messaging app? Also apparently they create accounts for you in a random chatmail server, or Delta Chat at least seems to do that, while Arcane Chat seems to always use arcanechat.me (or something like that), so that could be the reason why they have different apps that are almost exactly the same: the hardcoded setup parameters.

Some people think Bitcoin doesn't have to scale and get adopted enough to become money, it can just be a "store of value" forever. The first thing is that these people don't really believe in "storing" anything, they want their "value" to go up, not to be stored, so the discourse is already skewed from the start. Meanwhile all the value Bitcoin has today and all its price growth came from the expectation that it would be used as money (i.e. means of payment etc) at some point. Because random pubkeys stored on blockchains are just worthless bytes, if we stop making moves towards the only real goal (commerce adoption), then eventually markets notice and all the side "store of value" and related discourses are exposed to reality. Remember those people that used to say Bitcoin was a ponzi scheme -- I don't know, Peter Schiff, Jorge Stolfi? Their takes were nonsense to me at first because I had in my mind that everybody believed that Bitcoin would eventually become money, so there was no way this was a game of the greater fool, everybody would benefit, even the last person to buy Bitcoin on Earth would benefit from it. But no, these people just assumed Bitcoin would never become money, and with that assumption their reasoning makes perfect sense: if Bitcoin doesn't become money then it is nothing but a ponzi scheme -- as most of the shitcoins clearly are. And now we have all these self-described Bitcoiners who think the same, don't be one of them. And please make them wrong again.

I paid for a meal with Bitcoin recently. The place was very modest and they just had a WoS QR code glued to wall. When I told the old woman at the cashier that I wanted to pay in Bitcoin she just told me the amount and trusted me to type that on my phone and trusted that my wallet would know how to convert that into satoshis at a reasonable exchange rate (she didn't know anything about Bitcoin I'm pretty sure). Can't we make this better? There could exist a device with buttons where she could type the amount like she did with the credit card machines all other customers were using. She would just press the amount there and handed me a QR code to scan with the amount included, and exchange rate conversion done at some server trusted by the restaurant, it could be fully offline. I'm just saying this because I was amazed by the fact that so many years have passed and I barely hear about these kinds of issues or the solutions to them. Makes me feel that no one is thinking about the problems of grassroot Bitcoin commerce adoption, which is the most important thing.

Even the relay reviews section isn't exempt: https://nostr.media/1fbe66839bef3568e853c6c36825a6084e5a778b278a992e90c65e4d6e4288f5.png

If we had infrastructure for curating entries, allowing groups to vote on proposed additions and deletions and simple UIs for viewing the list of all items in a list then it would be easy to get rid of the NIPs repository. It's sad that after so many years all we have are "feed" views. And GitHub continues to be a better platform for browsing and updating text lists of things. Notice that I'm not asking for much. We would also have to get rid of the NIP numbers, but we could just say "the longform NIP", "the badges NIP" etc and it wouldn't be hard to know what were people talking about. But if you're reading this and thinking about a complicated system with events being published with votes, proposals, lists of replaceable events with other lists inside or whatever absurdity, please stop. Just use a relay and normal events inside, add and delete. Custom write policies, standard Nostr read API. #pyramid has a moderated subrelay that is probably 25% there already. If you disagree please let me know. nostr:nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzpem34u9stj8ftlxldl4n2qz5f5hmrnxns3uga86fpwe7u28ga4n0qyvhwumn8ghj7mrfva58gmnfdenjuun9vshkjmnzdauqqg94qxruwu659epnqnpr5sunsg9fer6vdw5pxfhw6hzqw6hmvzzpdvjq8z8j

I'm not talking about proxy or caching relays. On NIP-65 you can specify "read" relays which should be used by others when replying or mentioning you and used by your client when reading your inbox. That is where I'm saying one can select a relay that will reject stuff based on whatever criteria. https://pyramid.fiatjaf.com/inbox does that with a very dumb algorithm.

Another issue: can relays be really "dumb" in the way you're implying? I don't think so. If a relay should just accept anything without filtering (as long as the publisher pays, in your model, if I understand correctly) it would be exposing itself to hosting all kinds of sordid, illegal content, or perhaps just content they really dislike and are not ok with hosting. That creates an enormous disincentive to being a relay. Relays should be free to "censor" anything they want. You don't agree?

The influencer use-case was just an example. We can think of others. I could prefer to use a different filtering criteria than follows-of-follows, maybe using 3 levels, or 2, maybe I want people to be known to publish about certain topic (according to an LLM judgement) for a while before I read their stuff, I don't know, there are many possibilities, and the client can pick and choose any by just switching their "read" relays. The alternative of doing it on the client, even if it was possible in practice, would require a huge number of clients or a lot of complex implementations in the same client.

Just to clarify here: I think we're talking about "read" relays, not "write" relays. So it's actually the reader who picks the default relays for the interaction, right? Or at least those relays picked by the receiver are the ones that carry most importance in such interactions.

If you're asking relays to filter based on follows of follows isn't that elevating the role of the relay? #pyramid has an inbox relay that filters based on follows of follows, but is that what everybody wants? People might want a different filtering algorithm, the influencer case was just one example. I really don't see how this introduces censorship. Given outbox everywhere no one is censored. And filtering replies on your own notes is almost a personal thing that affects others very little. Readers should still be able to see replies to you from relays others than the ones you chose (they will probably automatically see replies from people they follow already, even if those are banned from your inbox relay).

What you're saying makes sense, but it's impractical. Someone could spam a thousand likes on your note, then you'll download all of that to get only two in your web-of-trust? Most relays won't even allow you to fetch more than 500 events directly. At the same time an influencer might want to know a full count of likes, and if he is famous most of the likes will come from outside his WoT. But still that number is meaningless if it can be easily spammed. The only way to reconcile all the different use cases and preferences while also providing some efficiency is by using relays, and relays with different policies for different users. Client-side filtering has its place too, but it's a secondary barrier.

I've once thought the "secret" was a secret and could be relied upon as an authorization token, but I realized that couldn't be it since most clients only called "connect" once with the secret, so it is de facto a nonce, the NIP should make this explicit. Someone please send a PR editing it. On the other hand for https://viewsource.win/fiatjaf.com/promenade I didn't use a secret at all, instead the bunker URI has a random pubkey in it that isn't the actual user pubkey, so it can be used and reused as an authorization token, i.e. anyone with the bunker URI can connect. I think this is fine for most cases too.
