Nobody likes a smart-ass. That's why I have few followers ^^
I'm trying to improve as a person by voting using code instead of pointing fingers at NIPs and apps.


Whoa AI is rapidly polluting the nostr event kind space

yolo, back to coding.
fixing nostr step by step. localized trending topics is next.
but first, 3 spoons of this:


2 days left to the end of the internet in Brazil as we know it. Government want us to show an ID or biometric data even to use Linux.


"Hardened Events use event kind 30078 because previous interoperability back and forth isn't needed to pick the effective event kind" - quote from a draft NIP.
The most grotesque side-effect of replaceable/addressables events shows up when you test a new bugged app and it wipes your follow list as soon as you add a new follow! Imagine if Facebook (in the good times) was on Nostr and you suddenly lose all your hand-picked FB follows due to a bug on another nostr app ๐ฑ
In an effort to fix this once and for all, I created a spec called "Hardened Events" that accidentally reverses the current school of thought from NIP repo maintainers of making atleast two clients interop before they (maybe - add politics to the soup) merge your NIP with these new event kinds you picked so that other people won't try using the same event kinds for other things.
Now it's like: you pick a string as event kind prefixed with your app name or anything else. If someone wants to interop, they look at what events your client is producing and adopt'em. I kinda appreciate the outcome, it feels more organic.
Though it's an (unintended) attack on Nostr. All new (effective) event kinds would use `kind 30078` as anchor. And to the despair of some, all newly created event kinds would be editable. Absolutely outrageous or ingenious? Not sure yet.
This npub is over the top for being anon but this thought bizarrely aligns with what i've been thinking lately (I wouldn't pick electricity though). Maybe he's the genius he says he is hehe
I'll add that bitcoin (lightning in fact) for its huge network effect is a great bridge to get off of fiat because it kills the "Chargeback Monster". But you alway can (and need to) get off of bitcoin back to fiat, and that's what makes it forever volatile. Governments will never let us use solely bitcoin everywhere, like 1 sat will cost 1 sat.. no, 1 sat will most likely forever cost a dynamic USD (or other stable currency of the moment) value. It's very hard to justify betting your future in the stack sats NGU mindset. It's purely betting. [And at this exact part I lose half of my followers ^^]

You're the ones that really want(ed) nostr to succeed!
Free models may help ๐ซ
