Woo hoo! DID Nostr is now officially in the W3C Method Registry! Thanks to everyone that helped make this possible. Global standards, here we come! 😄 https://www.w3.org/TR/did-extensions-methods/#did-methods

On interoperability—this is what made the web so big. It didn’t just invent HTML; it embraced email, PDFs, FTP, IRC—systems it didn’t control. Anything useful it could connect to was added to its growth path. Today, you can link to a PDF and it just works—even though the web didn’t create PDF viewers. When I spoke with Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of the web, and mentioned Nostr, his first question was, “What’s Nostr?” After I explained, his response was: “Let’s make my web OS interoperable with it.” That’s already been merged. In contrast, when I once suggested to fiatjaf that the wider web might want to use Nostr, he replied: “I hope they never use it.” Interoperability isn’t just about protocols talking to themselves—it’s about acknowledging that other systems exist, and figuring out how to work with them. That’s how the web won. nostr:nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzqak8r2hr5jglrk0wc37t59lz98x6gyf6pwaku6hpwakhvslznjh6qy2hwumn8ghj7erfw36x7tnsw43z7un9d3shjqpq53yj9hy55uyrshfh0ddyumpd9sdg66mpygfp6pq6h2uvwtd04f9qrmz6e6

First upload!

Wow! Thanks so much! I've been looking at the code, it's a great system. With a couple of tweaks we could make it have some awesome features.

Is it only for media, or could I store .json data? That would help make micro apps such as todo list, bookmarks, pastebins, more widely accessible.

Mike Benz says that USAID and Intelligence Communities train some musical artists as "assets" including working with Dua Lipa, Pussy Riot, possibly Taylor Swift, and foreign rappers to get their narratives out there for statecraft reasons and to destabilize governments. https://x.com/AutismCapital/status/1889902486829539608

BBC on USAID payroll. Sad.

Janus Pro (OpenSource) just released and beats Dalle-3 (OpenAI)

Sounds great! I’ve always been a fan of Oshash for media—it integrates so well with the OpenSubtitles ecosystem, which has most of the world’s content indexed. I remember it was quite a challenge and even a bit controversial when they switched to a better hashing algorithm. I think the resistance came from the sheer scale of the ecosystem and the compatibility issues involved, but it’s impressive how they made it work in the end!

Was actually around for a year before that, but it didnt take off. Nov 7 code was checked in.

Good to know. What language? There's a few different options in the space, I think.

Great to hear! However, you are probably the top account on nostr, or close to it. Life for new users is very tough on nostr, right now. They get little engagment or help. At the same time Bluesky are adding 1 million users a month. So there must be some demand.

Relays have been blocking spam since day one, just like email and big web servers. But for some reason, the big relay operators haven’t blocked the current spammer. It’s a bit strange.
