Or an invite code that is linked to you
Sounds like the "no email needed" is landed wrongly.
No email needed. Just send a photo of your id.
yes it shows me that screen too
See it as one community/app on that protocol. And it's fine.
Nostr apps/communities should be able to also pick this (and even fiat paymeents, email, Google, etc...) as whitelist options.
This is not at the protocol level. And I like many things about the protocol tbh.
I dislike many things about this app tho. The white-listing isn't even in my top-three.
That's about as far as I got when I looked into it. 🙃
Signed up a year ago. It was a sterile,
zapless experience. Deleted my account immediately.
Weird the bitcoin payment option not available in your country?
Also odd they’d see that as proof you’re a human 😂
Second option isn't viable anyways, because it's a ThOusAnD bITcOinS
Is it just Guy Swan posting discount codes to blue-light-blocking wellness grifts?
because robots can't use text messages
cough, twilio api, cough
Guys don't you understand?! John has thought of everything and made something WAAAAY better than nostr. Now, just link your anonymous identity to a phone number...
it's a "distributed" network with a signup page. what did you expect?
Yeah once I learned how the SMS is implemented, it’s really fine.
My top thing I like about the protocol and app is that it works. It really, actually works.
Get something better in a nostr app and then I’ll take your pearl clutching / couch fainting seriously
I can't find you there tho. How do I search profiles?
Many many weird UX/UI choices for me in that app (and the ring app).
Maybe you are working with @jb55 on getting something in Damus?
No im not interested in getting sms verification in damus
Scammers everywhere
Oh I’m not the same name there or anything.
If you follow their one happy path exactly, it works haha. So you need to create a new account from the ring app on a mobile device. Then use that mobile app to log in on your desktop.
If you delete the mobile app though, recovering your account is odd. I saved a backup file for my key, but it’s also asking me for a password that I don’t remember setting.
@John Carvalho needs an “operation Papercuts” to fix all these rough edges and annoyances in the user journeys.
😂
No, @Pip the WoT guy is guffawing seemingly because he has a better solution. In some separate website or slide deck. Would be nice to see if the solution could be made real in an actual app.
I did that route, tested the app and can't find people. Had to do an interenet search to find verbiricha hehe.
We're building on different types of white-listing in Zapstore, yup.
But I don't care what other apps/communities do with their methods of white-listing. Only ting that'd be nice is some kind of general flow or tag/reference to the "place" to get whitelisted across interop apps, in the case of communities.
no email needed tho 😂😂😂
Imagine doing that when you could just do a fidelity bond
yeah exactly, email would be better
Tbf, there is also an option for 1k sats in some places
Spam is the killer of all open networks and tools.
Granted Pubky isn’t an open network. It’s using their open identity on a private run service/app
It’s not a distributed network at all though. Pubky is a social network on a central server. The identity and authentication tool is what they are talking about when they says it’s decentralized/dsitributed.
Some of their marketing is a mess though and I think they do a generally poor job of explaining how the user relates to what they’ve built. Everything they discuss is about architecture and not the user experience.
they've built bbs's that you find via BitTorrent. it's not a new idea
If you run your own homeserver you don't need to.
Unfortunately, letting anonymous people upload photos etc. is a non-starter in this day and age.
That's a bit cheap.
Says who? Who will stop you? In a decentralized network each person adjusts their filters. In a distributed network suddenly police become important because everyone is hold a piece of your data.
k
Assuming you don't want the standard protections on user-uploaded content to apply for whatever reason, it's far easier to just throw user-uploaded images into one of the billion cheap little convnets trained to detect illicit material than it is to demand your users, who come to you solely for an anonymous platform, dox themselves.
Pubky uses the Outbox model and #PKARR for resource discovery.
I'm not actually involved in it, but iirc Start9 and Umbrel apps coming soon.
Yeah, I know how it works, my question still stands.
It's a question of risk approach.
I am generally happy to allow people to use my servers/resources if I know them or if they are in my community.
I guess Pubky's alternative risk approach can be recognised in its architecture. It's using semantic social, and this will be useful for community credit, as well as a bunch of other trust related stuff.
Proof of the pudding will be in the eating tho.
lmao
I'm trying to strengthen our use of decentralisation on this sphere...

Pedos don't need to be anonymous to upload nasty shit.
Go take a lot at all the telegram and WhatsApp links that gets shared to Nostr.
The fact that these anonymous pedophiles don't share media directly to Nostr kinda speaks for itself.
Telegram WhatsApp and Facebook messages are the 3 most popular apps used by pedophiles for distributing media
And half the fucking time their Facebook profiles are in their real god damn fucking names for fuck sake.
ikr my reaction exactly
Sorry to hear. We'll be rolling out commerce features later this year which will make the experience way cooler. Yes it's not easy to bootstrap a social network
I wasn’t talking about that. I said it was missing zaps, not shopping.
Right I understand, again we see different use case to enable actual commerce. Maybe we are talking past each other, hopefully you can give it another go once those features are announced
