The beauty with all of this stuff is that we have choice. People like nostr:nprofile1qqsyvrp9u6p0mfur9dfdru3d853tx9mdjuhkphxuxgfwmryja7zsvhqpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezumt0d5hszythwden5te0dehhxarj9emkjmn99ue6qm68 are on the side of decentralization and choice (I love him for that) while others go the other way or somewhere between the two extremes. I tend to try the major stuff at least once to see what people are doing, but I tend to agree with the philosophy of decentralization. More so when it has good UI/UX, which is always being improved. Vitor was discussing something similar related to GrapheneOS. I see his point that we don't have to sacrifice good principles for convenience, which seems to be the case with some applications. It all takes time and honest work. Healthy communication would help a lot, but I don't see that happening with certain people around here. nostr:nevent1qqsggkfv5mg6qykdejuf4uetpyxqkgfjh3p4umjncjq8rw49sles02gpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgq3ql6scds4yv7xmcsmhqnhdy9sggm520q09lvts2m5mkvecgr2mmmeqxpqqqqqqza3x8wk

But it's in the name of convenience, mass adoption and privacy. Muh.

Primoooool Cachoooooo

Nostr was fun free years back, now it's either nuts, cashu and or some other weird tech that is not adding much value. Serverless tech such as #Keet has more going on that is cool, nostr needs to adapt or it will remain a niche circle jerk thing. nostr:nevent1qqsq4lxrtpugxvnc7wuj564f0q989kn7fazwngypdnljgg4zw5392dcpzemhxue69uhkzem8wghxummnw3ezumrpdejz7q3qxtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsxpqqqqqqzlqxgyq

how so? i raised $40K via crowdfunding. it was supported by many businesses and developers across the ecosystem. some supported it more than others because they had funding to do so. without their support, that booth would not have hapened. stay tuned for Prague 2026 announcements.

you get funded through OpenSats and you are critical of both. OpenSats seems to be working as intended.

and HRF, and jack, and the initial nostr fund 😂

I respect that you speak your mind. Not sure I'd do the same in your shoes, honestly

you're absolutely correct here. jack has funded AOS, HRF, and OpenSats. jack's funding could be seen as a single point of failure or jack's funding could be seen as a way to bootstrap development and allow open source developers to eat food and have shelter while the ecosystem grows and companies determine monetization models. maybe it's all of the above. either way, it seems better than being funded by VCs and having to bend the knee to shareholders. right? if you know of a better solution, im all ears.

yes, but raising awareness of this is important so that it stays this way

It's hilarious. He gets money from everyone, ships nothing, and just complains endlessly. The "ships nothing" part is the most offensive.

Fair enough. Some people also invest their ego into their work and don't always separate the two for criticism. We all probably struggle with this at some point.

I don’t know what this is for. I have an LTS until 2026 with opensats. That has not been renewed as far as i know. At least i didn’t sign anything or give new bitcoin addresses.

I've experienced this when providing feedback (my opinion) on poor UI/UX. "What have you built?!" Anyone who produces more than they consume is building something. We don't all need to be doing the exact same work to have an opinion or provide feedback/criticism. Sometimes taking the time to calmly discuss and educate goes a long way. This has been a major struggle for me that I'm getting better at I think.

There's a difference between civil challenges (I challenge my friends frequently, and they challenge me) and grade school face making, which is what a lot of these disagreements have devolved into.

I actually didn't even know that until right now. I've been here for years, although hardly as a Primal user (occasional testing to see what they're up to - like this week). Highlighting the pros and cons for alternatives is important and people should do the same with Damus or any other client.

But I haven't verified this, to be clear. I just haven't heard it before now. We should also verify.

I wonder if you can have no caching service and see what happens.

wait didn't he spend like three months building his own graphical rendering engine or something?

Just set the URL to wss://example.com and watch it break

why would anything i have said have anything to do with opensats? My post was about VC investments. Are you ok?

apparently yes, i forget stuff sometimes. I just did a flurry of posts this morning and must have got them jumbled in my head

🫂

Solution: Invite more FOSS devs who don’t give a rat’s ass about grants or BTC/Nostr conferences. Fat Zap them so they actually keep building their stuff. Hint: Remember that most folks capable of building solutions on Nostr or BTC/Lightning could easily be earning around US$1k a day as contractors, (depending on where they live of course).

Bless you👃🙏

this is true

Coracle, Iris, Phoenix, all do this using image proxy services. Probably more do too.

I am so here for the nostr civil war.

🤝

"ships nothing"?

You had me at agorist movement.

Damn this was harsh man

The "untolerated" club just gets better every day

Lmao

the evil powers that be can't stop us from building 💜

Those zaps would need to be bigger than most of the grants.

Oh yea I've read all his stuff. We even sell it at my bookstore nostr:npub1c74n52sngtmceu96gxms7lsfcdz3gqsfla9swcdgt7wc0qw684zqfe2cj2 : https://whitepaperbooks.com/search?q=konkin&options%5Bprefix%5D=last

we have only had one release, so it has a bit to go in terms of features, but it should at least be the fastest

They should. Folks here are fighting for pennies. I mean, honestly, even in Germany, where salaries are relatively lower than in the US, how much would a Senior QA person like you earn? Around €100k a year base, at least in Berlin or Munich? And you’re going way, way, way beyond quality and testing here on Nostr. Plus, you have other people working with you. So I don’t see why anyone would expect something as ambitious as, say, Alexandria to get off the ground purely with grant money as, even in this awful market of ours. We need to move beyond the amateur Web3 full-stack TypeScript/Deno "vibecoder on a shoestring budget" phase before we can even start talking seriously about V2V on Nostr. Other than for maybe six people, Nostr is an absolute value sink for anyone building anything right now. And love, passion, and motivation alone aren’t sustainable long-term. We need a mix of proper businesses (beyond L2 payment stuff) and FOSS culture here. If Nostriches can buy raw milk, tallow soap, etc., they can also zap, say, 100k sats to the devs of the projects they use a few times a year. If enough people do this, Nostr becomes its own thing instead of just a BTC payment solution marketplace.

Doesn’t Damus use a custodial centralized wallet with coinos? Would it be better if coinos used a cashu mint for better privacy?

We have it as an option, but the technology is NWC. We don’t have any deep custom integration with coinos other than a way to create an account there automatically. You can swap it out for your own node (thats what i do)

That’s… a lot lower than I would expect, at least considering Munich’s cost of living the last time I checked. Plus, having to buy or rent your own kitchen, pay three months’ rent upfront, etc. Sounds like you’re as screwed as we are here in the UK. Actually, as bad as things are here, if you’re good you can get a better deal in places like Glasgow or Leeds, which have a much lower cost of living than Munich. Well, like anything, I’m sure salaries follow a power law there. I have some former colleagues contracting for Siemens, big banks in Frankfurt, etc., at around €800+ a day. And they aren’t working in front office or boutique hedge funds, so I’m sure that while averages are lower, the opportunity to increase earnings is there (even in this awful job market, where so many companies are outsourcing like there’s no tomorrow). Apologies anyway, I don’t mean to pry or make this all about earnings and fiat jobs or contracting. Earning a bunch of money isn’t proof of hardwork or intelectual capacity. My point still stands though: whatever you get paid outside of Nostr, that’s your real opportunity cost. At the moment, very few people on Nostr get anywhere near their opportunity cost. In fact, for me at least, Nostr is an endless money sink and a totally unsustainable passion project. It works well when I’m chronically unemployed burning through my savings… otherwise... folks need to pay their bills.

This reads like a small kid who lost at a basketball game 😂. Cope harder my dude

coping about what exactly

Yeah i determined this when nostr:npub1n0sturny6w9zn2wwexju3m6asu7zh7jnv2jt2kx6tlmfhs7thq0qnflahe started kicking ass with nostur which convinced me to build a custom nostr database/relay. I thought you could get away with using relays as the only cache, but that breaks down during poor network connectivity and app restarts.

Browser DBs get huuuuge fast.

browser dbs are unfit for nostr. It’s a true shame. Browser clients will always be performance gimp’d. This is what convinced me to look into building a nostr browser.

also storing an optimized binary format is a must, like not storing full hex strings for every e/p reference. nostrdb can store millions of notes in a tiny space

Nah. Java / Kotlin / Scala / .NET Senior finances or telco folks. The keywords are distributed systems, risk, arbitrage, low latency, etc (and it works basically as well in Investment Banking and Web3 stuff). Some Architects and Data People. McKinsey pay for MBAs, not technical folks. Ah, come on, I'm sure I donated a few sats to you myself. So you are what :). Just a few million or tens of millions sats in the red right now lol 🤣.

time to go crazy. fuk it enable monero on damus. the cypherpunk beast inside is calling nostr:nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzqvhpsfmr23gwhv795lgjc8uw0v44z3pe4sg2vlh08k0an3wx3cj9qyghwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnhd9hx2tcqyzthwl6lvdlmpmwmz4ueupy6mw5mcs7wdszl9wwzjmcfpunx39y96l7r3pc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1mjlM_RnsVE

its unfortunately probably a precondition for mass adoption :/ at least we have lightning

why do people keep using the word crying? I am not upset or physically crying. Maybe slightly disappointed?

Here, putting my wallet where my mouth is. Maybe all of the V2V folks our there will do the same.

nostr:nprofile1qqs8eseg5zxak2hal8umuaa7laxgxjyll9uhyxp86c522shn9gj8crspz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7qgjwaehxw309ahx7um5wgerztnrdakj7qgkwaehxw309a3x2an09ehx7um5wgcjucm0d5hsvlnggv. I also highly appreciate everything that you have been building mate.

people liked my old nostrudel fork because it just had a button that showed the address in a qr code, also had a "pay in wallet" because the bip21 auto-fills to send, then it's a plain tip button without the zap event and just opens the preferred wallet that accepts that URI scheme at the right place, things like this just get the address from bio "closer" to usage, without any advanced integration needed from the developer, which would work for btc onchain or alts too but yeah not an actual integration, I'm remaking my client but will still use the simple idea, but this simple idea is enough for people to love it X users keep bugging platforms like odysee to do something like this and then it's an "integration", but to advance on a monero integration it could use payment IDs, or use the viewkey to generate subaddresses, then per event on send you know which event of yours got tipped, then from viewkey usage maybe a proper zap event could be created by using receipt proofs, etc, some people already experiment on this today

Ok then maybe you both are dumb then...!!! And have fun being coretard just like your friend "Gay Calle"

Absolutely. It adds so much context for the people who can understand the meaning of FILTER but not for the people who don't understand the FILTER.

And this is it. I’m not zapping anyone else on Nostr unless I start seeing people following the example. A "circular economy" where only devs and operators spend to provide free stuff isn’t much of a circular economy, it’s just a huge scam.

Aye. Maybe one day folks will follow the example. And you reminded that I need to renew my donation on Geyser Fund as well. Will do that soon :). I'm thinking of leaving Nostr for a while, but I want to see Alexandria take off :).

the community has already pushed away an absurd amount of competent people over the past decade. they're not coming.

Wrong currency. Bitcoin is a store of value. It's digital gold. Very good digital gold mind you, but the Medium of Exchange race is long lost. Many people here, they talk about circular this and that, but inside they hate so much to part with their digital gold that even when making small zaps they feel little pangs of loss and regret. The worry that they might not get it zapped back reaches OCD level. That's where we are today. Nostr needs USDT zaps. Native taproot USDT zaps over lightning. It's possible to care about Nostr more than Bitcoin, and if that's you then you have to see this.

Based. nostr:I’d nostr: nostr: nostr:nevent1qqsq4lxrtpugxvnc7wuj564f0q989kn7fazwngypdnljgg4zw5392dcpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduawlazf nostr:nevent1qqsdd54rgmm64eykvvxayt2erzgep0fvvh5deytu4ryg6mkuplh787gppamhxue69uhkummnw3ezumt0d5ktuxmc nostr:nevent1qqsd6nju59kvkpzushrtv5r7vd4n46u2gvy2gmh0uc3pqzr8a3xklhcppemhxue69uh5qmn0wvhxcmmvd6jxwm

I'm honestly don't care if folks get paid in BTC, Fiat, Stable Coins, Dark Coins, Meme Coins, gold, grains of coffee or whatever, as long as devs can somehow exchange it for food and shelter. Maxis can always swap for BTC if they so which. Looks like some folks implemented "Monero zapping", I'm sure that someone can put together USDT Zapz together. But I don't think this is what stopping folks from donating.

Hmm, don't think so. At least not e-cash as in Cashu. I was wondering if someone is researching putting up a USDT-backed Cashu mint but that'd require Taproot USDT on both ends, and I don't think we're there yet with Lightning Labs and all. Or you mean e-cash in another sense?

until people get comfortable trusting cryptographic proofs, I agree. LN is good enough for now but its just not going to be the solution

Yea i might be one of the few crazies that don’t give a rats ass 🙈

General bitcoin space suffers similar fate, its very centralized with several people influencing a lot more than ppl imagine through backchannels and string pulling. The space is tiny and cross polination of organizations/events by the same individualas is huge, very easy get shadow banned

Nah, you will be fine. And there will be new folks for sure, both on Nostr and Alexandria. Plus I'll keep an eye over here. I'm just... Tired and ready to prioritise other things for a while. But is not like I dislike Nostr or anything (trying to get nostr:nprofile1qqsqdzwltpr635ehdzfd52tz947qlhq77x2c7j7yguwep9n258k2nusprdmhxue69uhk7unv0ykhyetvv9uju6tdwaskcepwv46j7qgmwaehxw309a6xsetxdaex2um59ehx7um5wgcjucm0d5hsz8rhwden5te0w35x2cmfw3skgetv9ehx7um5wgcjucm0d5hsll4pwk into a Cloudflare free setup so that he rejoins you here. And for someone that "absolutely hates everything", I think The Beave alone has more praise for you than the next 100 Nostriches combined, so me leaving and him coming back overall is still a huge net positive both for you and for Nostr 🤣).

To the builders that don't give a rats ass! 🍻

"Fat zap them" - but who is gonna zap? Will you zap them regularly with decent amounts so they can pay the bills without fiat contracting job? I think this is why those grants are there

Thanks a lot Anthony 🫡

I'm zapping way, way, way more than the average Nostrich... Plus I have been maintaining a lot of Nostr software. Can't do it alone though. And Grants won't pay my bills either, not in the UK. You know what could? Like 10 USD a month * one third of the regulars here on Nostr. That could pay for the bills of a lot of devs and operators. You know how many people do this? Well, none is doing it for anything that I built or maintained so far. You know how many people zap more on AI Generate memes and garbage copied from X than on Devs? A whole lot of people.

Freeform client? I don't use it, but the app does have a USDT wallet.

🤣🤣🤣 I feel the EXACT opposite! I LOVE being a “net zap SENDER”! (But I’m sure I’m the only one) 🧡😉 Also, I live 1/2 of the year in a growing circular economy spending (and sometimes receiving) Bitcoin multiple times a day. Topping up with purchases for fiat if my overall stack drops more than a fraction of a percent. Sorry to ruin your narrative. Pls disregard this message….😶

You’re simply an exception to a general rule that is far bigger. More USDT is spent in a day (as in paying for actual stuff, not investing) than Bitcoin in a year. The use of Bitcoin as a medium of exchange is actually decreasing in many countries.

Correct.

Yes. I was well aware that the dollar is the current dominate MoE on planet earth. Thank you for confirming….😝

USDT is not the dollar. But wider point is Bitcoin is decreasing. As in to catch up it has to first stop decreasing and then one day start increasing.

Guessing Damus 😂 Not that theres anything wrong with that! Just sayin, thats gotta be his first choice right?? 😂🤣 I would hope at least haha

Can you share your sources/data that show decreasing global usage? Thx 🙏🏻

Salvadorans using Bitcoin for transactions down from 25.7% in 2021 to just 8% in 2024 and still declining (Instituto Universitario de Opinión Pública). That was the one place it gained actual real-life traction (versus token tourist-town traction, like in parts of Costa Rica, etc). Also use in China has cratered since the ban, obviously. Here's a good podcast with lots of numbers for sub-saharan Africa, showing bitcoin being displaced by stablecoins and decreasing overall: https://iono.fm/e/1508536 Bitcoin as MoE is not increasing notably anywhere in the world to make up for all the countries in which it's decreasing. Certainly not in the developed world. And in relative terms (versus stablecoins) it's being absolutely crushed. If you want online then look no further than Lightning network volume vs. Tron volume, those numbers are easily searchable.

I love tron. Under rated movie… 🎥 🍿

And overall, I agree. Bitcoin is dead. Was fun while it lasted. 😕

Is this really true? If I open up the network tab I can see it's talking to a bunch of relays.

It’s dead as a thing you use for everyday purchases. As a store of value (ie digital gold) it’s thriving. Oh look at that, nuance!

Nahhhh. It’s dead as that too. Haven’t you seen the price this last week/month? Ethery-booby-poopy coin is the future! 🚀🚀🚀 Sorry! Your first message was so angry I couldn’t help but engage. Not a great personality trait of mine. Admittedly. 😔

Just tried zapping you. Hilarious that you haven’t set it up!!! 😆

they only read from their caching relay

As an investment*

I'm not here for bitcoin zaps. Or rather for my share of the teensy weensy $1,000 worth of zaps that get sent around Nostr every day, which is supposedly the largest online Bitcoin circular economy in the world. I'm here for the relay tech, which, unlike the Bitcoin zaps, is very promising.

Where's Jack these days? He makes thoughtful original posts here like once a month. If that.

I didn't realize you had a beef with Cashu. I have been openly critical about that project and its design choices and been treated like a red-headed piece of shit by a lot of people on here, particularly developers. I have nothing against Primal, but I'm not interested in using their walled garden setup, so it is what it is.

i had no issues with him, until he started attacking me just because I wasn't 100% on board with cashu

i guess the "bitcoin for signal" and "bitcoin for imessage" irked me a lot as well. affinity scamming is such a bad look.

Because when you can't make a solid argument, you just tear down your opponent.

Relax son…it’s just a micro-thermodynamic way to appreciate someone’s contribution. Better than a heart 💓 But yes, not much better. Everything is gonna be ok brotha. Trust that 🪬🧬

Tee hee.

Yeah, he tends to do this. And just to be honest, it's a red flag to me.

probably just defensive because he has to deal with the centralization criticism all the time. i can see how that would be annoying after awhile.

I do too, and I feel for him, but it's going to happen with that project. When a bunch of people are purists.

Something better than lightning is coming. Something like what was built with Keet can't not have implications for transacting value

Or use another decentralized solution... One that needs no centralization on top

It's called p2p 😂

you propose we keep them around by zapping them $1k/day?

Doesn’t exist. Always sacrifices something.

It isn't just cashu the entire bitcoin space is paralyzed because everyone is terrified that if they do anything else except for the reference-implementation HTLC-based blocksize-war approved thing the big money won't follow them and the big money is hostile anyway we could have so much 😢

So much for being a Christian…

And all 3 are retarded

Regardless of who you’re calling out or frustrated by The fact that you can have your opinion, free of fear (be that de-platforming or removal of funding), is the absolute key About the only time I believe diversity is actually powerful as a metric is when it comes to opinions Say what you want. Think what you want. Go for it

I once attended one of those “prestigious” corporate yacht events in Dubai. Let’s just say there were more suits than seagulls. 😅 But honestly, being out on the water itself was calming… until someone started talking about Bitcoin nonstop.

What’s the difference between Primal and Damus?

You’re guess is as good as mine. I don’t know Jack.

Holy shit, YOU made moStard?

You’re a pedophile

Good question... Quite a bit but the main gripe people have is that Primal can be very X/twitter like. To put it simply. Need to create a pros/cons list of these two clients, and any other client that has thrown their hat in the ring.

You’re a pedophile

For a full-time senior developer in HCOL areas in the US (New York, San Francisco, etc.), yes, or at least close to it if you’d expect them to work 40+ hours a week, just like they would at Big Tech or Major Banks. Nostr already has plenty of active npubs. How many active users do we have right now, around 30k? If 10k of them paid $10 a month, that would be enough to fund three full-time developers; say, Fiafjaf and a couple of core US-based devs. Alternatively, you could fund six people in Germany, twelve in South America, or even more across most of Asia. Or a mix of all that. You could also have part-time developers... lots of possibilities. And as Nostr grows the funding would increase. Whatever the setup, I think donations should flow directly from plebs to devs . Not from BTC companies, not from billionaires, not from private equity and VC Funds. Otherwise, we’re essentially saying that Nostr (both the the protocol and the ecosystem) isn’t worth $10 a month to its users. And if that’s the case, then honestly, there are already plenty of centralised, extractive social media solutions out there with a much better architecture than Nostr for the "ADS and User data extraction" use cases

Those 'prestigious events' are useless signaling events. Just continue building good products!

Come to Vienna on May 27th and May28th More too share soon

Someone needs to add crowdfunding to https://catallax.network and we can start doing this tomorrow. https://catallax.network/use-cases#open-source-software-and-bug-bounties- Put up a bounty for a feature in X open source client, assign it to the original author of the client, get the zaps, do the work. The client dev gets paid, the community gets their feature.

I’d love to know more. I’m a noob.

You’re a pedophile

anything I can help with or clarify related to cashu? it's an open source project, we welcome pull requests.

Nope.

Will after this post you have a new follower 😀

Primal fetch notes from other relay, your app read from primal. Primal can choose what you read. Other clients fetch directly from multiple relays.

At this point it's not just about money. Devs are scared of getting arrested. This is another reason the privacy focused Monero community is pulling ahead in the dev race

Oh it exists keet.io

Capture thrives when it’s fuzzy. Make it measurable: publish an opt‑out friction score. Count chokepoints from keys to broadcast, self‑host paths, and per‑feature off switches. We use this lens at Masters of The Lair. Would a public scorecard keep things honest?

Appreciate you saying this out loud.

I get the Primal criticism. Cashu I'm less clear about. It's a protocol, not a specific product. Anyone can operate a mint, and indeed, as far as I can see, many do: https://audit.8333.space/ Yes, it is more centralized than Lightning, which is more centralized than L1 Bitcoin. But it has its use cases.

use cashu if you like cashu, i really don’t care. I personally don’t have any use for it and would rather focus on improving lightning tech

Oh, he pops up every now and then to ask where we are. Sadly, he still has the angry mugshot thumbnail
