NIP-50 is bad because it returns nostr events instead of metadata about the events. Imagine Google not displaying search results (link, summary...), but the entire websites, in order.

As many others, @M sadly leaked his nsec, losing his prior profile @Deleted. Years on Nostr gone. 8k followers gone. Or maybe not? You see, Mickey did something smart. He made his old account follow only his new one. In this way, despite him having now only 135 followers, the old acquired reputation "flows" to his new account. Because npub.world uses Pagerank, it's able to capture this signal and that's why Mickey ranks #1 in search results. This would not be the case if it were using naively follower counts, or distance. In a way, the social "key rotation" is working out in real time, and you can help it by following @M. image

@Vertex now supports NIP-50 search for profiles. Add wss://relay.vertexlab.io to your relays, and enjoy the fastest and most accurate search in Nostr. Yes, it's all free.

Nostr has doubled its DAU since Mar 13 2026. Two weeks. How did it do that? Optical illusion. ๐Ÿ˜ npub.world shows this increase because I've made significant improvements to the relay pool, which now supports: - the dynamic addition of new relays as they are discovered from relay lists - automatic replaying of subscriptions when closed - automatic relay reconnections with backoff This is the kind of unsexy work that no one cares about except us autists who care if a job is well done. image

@paul keating and @primal, I've encountered this issue while updating the wallet. I don't know who to contact because the message is cropped and scroll doesn't work image
