Shakepay has lightning deposits now 🤯 this means i can take my nostr zaps and use them immediately in an apple pay wallet. So cool.

maybe peered relationships established by nostr can form a kind of social media/file CDN nostr:note1ph7nnemyxx4uwup9jh54cxwt3xvg8u8u28qru8637ftkm92972zstjyrws

Funny that a lots of zap verification are failing because of cloudflare and dependence on lnurl. Maybe we should make that nostr native somehow with bolt12 zaps.

I’ve been enjoying nostr with media loading turned off lately. I think i want to extend the mode to hide media-only posts. make text nostr great again.

i think i just came up with a new compact data structure for variable sized integers that supports efficient search. let's say you want to encode 1000 people you follow into the social graph index using martti's encoding. you simply bucket the sorted user-id integers contiguously based on the size of its encoding. for example: u16_offset: 6 UID(u8) * 6 -> 1,2,42,53,128,255 UID(u16) * 1000 -> 1024, 4086, 65532, ... the header of the array simply stores offsets into the 2/4-byte array segments. if you want to check if a user id of varint encoding size 1 exists in the person follow list, you can linear scan through the 1 byte entries (probably faster than binary search for ~255 max entries) if the userid encodes to 2 bytes, you can jump to the 2-byte offset (stored in the array header) and then binary search through that, assuming this would be the larger part of the array. this gives you the smallest possible encoding and direct indexing... not sure if anyone has thought of this before. I love compact and fast data structures 🤓 martti already added follow/WoT indices to #nostrdb, now I'm just brainstorming space optimizations!

looks like we're back to eating noodles

Airchat on nostr. So cool. Well done nostr:npub1t89vhkp66hz54kga4n635jwqdc977uc2crnuyddx7maznwfrpupqwra5h9

I guess it’s confusing if you are new as well since there are mixed notations everywhere. In theory it’s ok if everyone adapts to this style. We’ll see if that happens 😅

no you can’t. This isn’t supported in any app

Me and nostr:npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240 are bringing nostr to websummit! A 70k+ attendee web conference. Livestream will be here: https://www.youtube.com/live/gdOrsiAneMs?si=Egwy9ZDDGddVNG-v

since people say I'm bad at UX, I added odometer-style animations when note stats are updated. its a tiny thing but fun!

i made the mistake of having opinions on nostr again today

my 3Gbps fibre connection is too stronk for my computer. Had to buy a piece of hardware to harness its true power.

It’s actually amazing how often i get attacked by primal investors any time i simply explain how primal works to confused users. They literally sleuth through my replies to start fights. wild.

there is a large moneyary investment in this space in centralized nostr (primal) and centralized bitcoin (cashu) Criticizing any of these? Good luck getting a grant or invited to that next prestigious event. nostr was more fun when it wasn’t being subverted by money and influence peddling. Unfortunately they can’t buy me or shut me up. I couldn’t give more of a shit about money or influence.

not surprising calle is a fan of centralized solutions and affinity scamming. I mean he calls cashu bitcoin. Very on brand for him. nostr:nevent1qqs8sq0er9upg27f4e2nzn9eys2hgckkw3r3u4kgxqnlguexlqpga2gpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezumrpdejqz9rhwden5te0wfjkccte9ejxzmt4wvhxjmcpp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzv9hxgq3q2rv5lskctqxxs2c8rf2zlzc7xx3qpvzs3w4etgemauy9thegr43sxpqqqqqqzp5elpd

ok this took way too long... but #nostrdb inside damus ios/notedeck/notecrumbs now automatically counts: - reactions - quote reposts - reposts - direct replies - thread replies no complex work needs to be done in the client to display these. you can just pull them from the database in realtime. yay!

I have lived under the realization that people don’t care about other people because they are mostly focused on themselves. What i have been discounting is there is a large asymmetrical opportunity given this fact. just by trying to care and help other people, you will be doing what the majority of people don’t do since they are too busy dealing with their own issues. Once you have your shit figured out physically, mentally and financially, this seems like the thing you should spend time on to have large positive impact. I suspect empathic people already do this naturally, but as an antisocial autist i had to come to this conclusion via logic.

not sure about others but my happiness and fulfillment is strongly correlated to productivity and how much forward progress i am making. When i am not productive i spiral into dopamine boosters like doomscrolling, alcohol… but these are empty calories and will never hit the same as ripping out 2000 lines of code in a few days.

i noticed that as well. they could be blocking us. we don't have a fancy video player. just stock ios

Palmer Luckey JRE episode was one of the most interesting ones I've watched in a long time. His hive mind AR military helmet is actually insane: if someone else on the battlefield sees something it will render it in everyone else's view. It even has phased array noise cancellation and amplification, meaning you can focus on somewhere on the battlefield and it will amplify the sounds coming from there and cancel everything else. he is living the dream building james-bond style gadgets all day. so cool. https://youtu.be/-9LFj6YOK2U?t=9509

The point is user choice. Why is this so difficult to understand? Just code to nwc and you can use whatever wallet you want. Forcing cashu wallets on people is not the right approach. nostr:nevent1qqs9c57tdrlqhv3y9s7h4q5hmkqmjp9amphp9s2fvk3qyqksyde3whqpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzv9hxgqg5waehxw309aex2mrp0yhxgctdw4eju6t0qyxhwumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmvqgsdv8emcke7k3qqaldwv956tstu40ejg663gdsaayuuujs6pknw7jsrqsqqqqqpg2m05k

exactly:

i love unions in C. they allow you to pack different types of data into the same memory address. here's an example of an 64-bit string type that you can pass around as a native word on 64-bit systems. it can either be a binmoji or a 6-character null-terminated string. this enabes the nostrdb metadata table to be super smol. caching reaction counts for any emoji or 6-length string can now be done inplace, only requiring two 64-bit integers worth of storage for each metadata entry, no string tables! succinct, cache efficient data structures are my happy place

why would nuclear engineers entertain the opinion of the general public? you could argue bitcoin is more important than the operation of a nuclear power plant. its engineering and game theory over feels.

there seems to be a large number of cloud core nodes. most of the knots nodes appear to be running in residential ISPs, which makes sense. there's just not a lot of them compared to bitcoin cloud infra. I didn't realize there were so many cloud nodes but I guess that makes sense with all the services out there.

scrolling X on the damus account feels like scrolling linkedin. such a strange feeling when twitter used to be home. It’s equally strange seeing most of my IRL bitcoiner friends still on there. Most bitcoin core devs post there, even though there is a libsecp256k1-secured network right here with mostly bitcoiners!? Network effects are *immense*. hats off to the people who took the leap regardless and are still here. Ya’ll are the real ones.

is it really that important to have an entry in the tab bar?

still improving dave's note rendering. you can ask for any number of notes and it will show them. next I want to add a button to every post that you can click for analysis, similar to how grok works. this is useful if you don't understand the post and want it to explain the context. I'm pretty happy with the UI so far. now I just need to finish the lightning backend so anyone can use it anonymously + NWC pay per token. If all goes will this should be in our initial damus android release!

notes are cached locally on iOS, we just don't fetch from there on startup yet. The nostrdb version there is old and doesn't have query capabilities. https://github.com/damus-io/damus/pull/2121
