Just released a new relay implementation: https://gitea.coracle.social/coracle/punt This is a narrowly-focused DM relay. It supports negentropy, enforces recipient auth, 16 bits of pow, and evicts events after 3 months. Free for you to use, and free for you to self-host as a personal relay (there is a pubkey whitelist option as well). The goal is to make DMs somewhat more deliverable by providing a sane default — the relays I had been using have slowly been failing to serve messages. Add it to your (or your client's) NIP 17 messaging relay list at: wss://messaging.coracle.social

I'm curious if people on nostr would agree with this skepticism of technology's ability to restore a natural balance within society, or whether you think that the technology we're all working on here can actually accomplish that mission: "An increasingly prevalent and popular brand of the futurist ethos is one that identifies electricity and electrical power, electronics and cybernetics, computers and information with a new birth of community, decentralization, ecological balance, and social harmony... The manifest consequences of electricity are clearly in opposition to a decentralized, organic, harmonious order." This is a quote by James Carey from his book "Communication and Culture."

This is the best summary of feminism I have ever heard: https://www.thesymbolicworld.com/content/rachel-wilson-feminism-is-the-political-arm-of-witchcraft They don't go deep, but they cover a ton of interesting ideas: - Abortion is witchcraft, and at one point there was an attempt to get it protected under religious freedom laws as an occult ritual - The Wizard of Oz included the first real example of "the good witch" - Feminism is not feminine; in the name of destroying the "patriarchy" it sets up its own version of power politics - At the same time it is genuinely anti-hierarchical and radically decentralized - There was an anti-suffrage movement around the turn of the 20th century in which women feared the devaluation of their domestic work and roles - Feminism has ties with marxism, and makes use of "standpoint epistemology" to shut down opposition The interviewee, Rachel Wilson, claims that witches have contacted her and thanked her for giving them the credit they deserve for the undermining of the family and gender roles. Anyway, here's a link to her book: https://www.amazon.com/Occult-Feminism-Secret-History-Liberation/dp/B09NGXZKHB

Check it out, just released nq (Nostr Quora), a web application for managing a FROST multisig quorum over a nostr key. I've occasionally seen people asking for this for years now, and I don't think any of the existing FROST projects really tick all the boxes (correct me if I'm wrong though). This tool uses DKG to ensure that no member holds the complete key material, and allows for rotating members in/out. It also has quorum chat (using NIP 17) so that you can have a conversation about proposed events. I recommend you create a separate nostr key when using this, not just because this is alpha software (90% vibe coded protocol and code), but also because these messages will clutter your NIP 17 DMs and vice versa. If you're interested, here's a quick demo: https://blossom.primal.net/bf854764f0620ec909950ba386b4ccfaf4058f90b374df7afa24baba7eb86161.webm If you'd like to try it, visit https://nq.coracle.social/

> no amount of UI design can really fix it. This jives with something I've been saying and feeling recently but which I hadn't identified: that widespread adoption of cryptography needs to be predicated on including a basic understanding of async crypto in secondary education curricula. It's not a hard concept, but it's like referring to the unit circle around someone who has never taken trigonometry. > Software should generate dedicated keys for every relationship, connection or context. I agree with this, but it becomes tricky to map software to relationships. This is the next step in adopting cryptographic identities, but I don't know how you solve it without adding a ton of additional cognitive load for users. The technical description itself sounds quite good, although I would be interested to see how you solve the networking layer, especially in terms of when to use direct connections, p2p technology and centralized intermediaries (like nostr relays). You're a very good writer, I enjoyed reading this.

One thing I've noticed the last few days is that agentic coding is a textbook example of an addictive process. I've heard people mention this before, but I'm feeling it first hand now. From this paper (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31678482/): > the anticipatory dopamine response may constitute a common underpinning of gambling disorder and substance use disorder In other words, gambling works because you don't know what you're going to get — the dopamine response is just as much a result of the anticipation as it is of the payout. Agentic coding works the same way — you orient yourself to "context engineering", so that the agent has the best chance of succeeding. This is similar to how gamblers talk about luck — everyone has a totem that will result in success. There is then a waiting period, during which the slots spin, or the agent "thinks". Then you find out how you did. Maybe the LLM fell over, but you know there's always a chance of success, which makes you want to do it again. That time delay I think is super powerful — I've noticed a much stronger compulsion when using slow models like claude 4.6 vs codex, which doesn't give you time for anticipation. Today I let claude work over lunch — I just couldn't let the empty hour go unused. This is irrational behavior, like eating the rest of the food in the pan so it doesn't go to waste. You start to serve the thing, rather than the thing serving you. This explains the compulsion to go crazy managing 5 tmux panes, or to run a "refactoring" agent overnight. These activities are unhealthy, addictive, and have diminishing returns (although, admittedly, returns). Just something to think about.

Ok guys, help a dev out. I'm an awful marketer — hopefully I'll get some real help on this soon, but in the meantime, what are the highest leverage suggestions you have to catch the Discord wave that I can execute on right now? Flotilla is like 90% stable, which needs to improve, but it's enough to start catching early adopters. I can't really market myself as having feature parity with Discord (RBAC and voice chat are required), and Flotilla's trajectory is slightly different than just a Discord clone. But with Discord's market share and the level of annoyance people are showing with it, I figure if I can catch just a fraction of a percent of the outflow it'll be a pretty large number. nostr:nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzqun2rcnpe3j8ge6ws2z789gm8wcnn056wu734n6fmjrgmwrp58q3qyghwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnvv9hxgtcqyzt9lg75699rjtg0qfsqvchypef3vml3u4awhsc3733sqa0f7mzx75ak8x3
