Some TEPP q&a. More info, documentation and explainers will follow soon. Read my operation kidstr articles for more info or visit weboftrustfoundation.com View quoted note → The system can run at any level, so it could run at the bunker/signer, and/or the client (and/or the relay, but not a likely place for this to run). Obviously it would require implementation, so yeah you'd need a 'special' client (as is the case with any NIP), but if you have it running on a signer/bunker, you can use any client out there and still get most of the benefits of the system. View quoted note → You say you don't want it to be public that your child is running under this scheme, but im not so sure if that is an obvious possition. The scheme allows to encrypt the specific permissions as to hide what the social network etc. That info can indeed be sensitive, but as for it being a child in the first place...that cuts both ways: Sure preditors can use it as an indication for targetting; but well meaning actors (say for instance a relay that has 18+ content) could actively block interaction with those type of npubs. At the same time, the whole point of TEPP is to protect children from preditors in the first place, and you can wonder if preditors really need to rely on the existence of association events to find their prey. View quoted note → This is not specified yet, but yes you want a way out of the association event; this is not impossible but i have simply not mentioned a concrete suggestion as of yet. Indeed the idea behind the system is that children can just continue using their existing keypair into the future.

Newyear and Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays, 2026 edition

I just realized that using Nostr never required me to switch from anything, simply because all those years i refused to create an account anywhere, because...fuck you, thats why. Im home, Nostr.

Nooooo don't explain how this new thing, that works differently from the old thing, works; just pretend its the old thing and make it such that people think its the old thing, otherwise its too complicated! - everyone that fails to realize at some point the old thing was the new thing, and people learned that just fine. Nostr.

oh hey, another guy that loves Nostr without even knowing it (i think, atleast)

When asked what the downsides of Nostr are, one part of that answer is that eventhough a platform can erase your presence, you are absolutely free to footgun yourself out of your own established identity. But that is still better. Even without any standards, measures, procedures to 'fix' this unfixable issue, content creators are still better off. 1: re-establishing your audience does not have to take place 'elsewhere', your audience can re-find you in the same app they were already using. 2: political banning could not just take out 1 individual content creator, but whipe out an entire community of creators at/around the same time; whilst key loss/compromise IS an indivual phenomena (unless everyone uses the same corrupt app i gues 🫤). 3: both 1 and 2 allow for easier re-establishing using social networks. "Oh hey our buddy Bob uses a new npub, its this one, you can just conveniently click follow in the app you already using, how nice, dont forget to use promo-code...". Ceterum censeo NIP-03 omnibus esse.
