thanks for sharing?

Nice 🍿 I finally get to see John cena in action 🚀

Cry 😂

Good one

Super cool .. I guess you need double the time you were allocated to cover all the points :-) One more point of leverage - the biggest problem for devs ( in platforms world) is finding the early set of users .. they literally need to beg borrow steal users from established players .. In #nostr .. every new application gets all the users by default .. for example if I create a new weather app today .. pretty much 30 k weekly users can use it without having to sign up or KYC shit .. Effectively , nostr is a magnet for devs .. and each dev team brings in its own fan base while leveraging the existing npubs in the system ..

#bitcoin is your personal store of value ! #nostr is same for information! #Identity Is #nostr the entry point to start getting used to npubs and nsecs ? #bitcoin follows ? #askNostr

Super presentation. Just watched the whole thing plus Q&A. Outstanding!

Is there a YouTube link for this video?

Found the link

Unfortunatly the version FOSDEM provided sucks. Audio is bad and out of sync. I fixed it myself, i think some jungle spirit is planning to put the correct version on youtube, and i asked FOSDEM to replace the upload

Do you think decentralized digital democracy could be implemented on Nostr? Taiwan’s digital democracy, shaped significantly by Audrey Tang, is a groundbreaking approach to governance that leverages technology, transparency, and citizen participation. It represents a unique fusion of open government, civic engagement, and digital tools to create a more responsive and inclusive democracy. Key Elements of Taiwan’s Digital Democracy 1. Radical Transparency & Open Government Government meetings are live-streamed and transcribed for public access. Open data policies ensure that citizens can access and analyze government information freely. Civil servants collaborate in an open-source environment, enhancing transparency and trust. 2. Participatory Democracy with Digital Tools The government engages with the public through online platforms like vTaiwan and Join. These platforms allow citizens, businesses, and policymakers to discuss and shape legislation. Crowdsourcing ideas and AI-facilitated consensus-building help resolve divisive issues. 3. AI & Technology for Consensus-Building Pol.is, an AI-powered platform, helps find common ground in public discussions. Instead of focusing on division, it highlights shared concerns to guide policymaking. This system was crucial in drafting policies, such as ride-sharing regulations for Uber. 4. Civic Tech Movement & g0v (Gov-Zero) The g0v (gov-zero) movement, an open-source civic hacking initiative, creates alternatives to government websites and services. Volunteers develop tools to monitor government spending, track pollution, and promote digital literacy. 5. COVID-19 Response & Digital Innovation Real-time mask availability maps were created through open data collaboration. A crowdsourced SMS system streamlined quarantine tracking without violating privacy. Government combated misinformation with a strategy of humor and fast fact-checking. Impact & Global Influence Taiwan’s digital democracy has set a precedent for how technology can enhance governance, balancing transparency, participation, and efficiency. Audrey Tang’s leadership has inspired governments worldwide to explore digital democracy as a means to combat disinformation, strengthen public trust, and make policymaking more inclusive.

Nice presentation. I’d rather be crying in the bazaar than locked in the cathedral. 😭😂

without the question mark typo 😉

Great presentation on nostr, especially for a technical audience.

we should call them notes not events. its not EOSTR

Maybe put this on Twitter. Everyone here already uses nostr

'Event' is the abstraction encompassing both notes and other stuff, therefor it would be Etr; which pronounced sounds terribly similar to something else.

Go ahead :) Someone also put it on youtube:

i thought the other stuff was everything other than notes like REQs and EOSE, CLOSED, etc

I'll put it on the Damus xitter

This is how I see it too, but I don't think this was in my mind when the name came up either.

I kinda hate the name "event" myself but I can't think of anything else anymore, I mostly use "notes" to talk about kind:1.

I noticed @verbiricha was using note for kind1 as well. In nostrdb and damus codebases it’s used for any kind. Whatever lol

Done

Great presentation on NOSTR @fosdem, the protocol that powers @damusapp. Dive deep into what makes our tech censorship resistant and why it’s the...

#nostr devs and evangelists need to remember ONE thing. As much work as a normie like me or others will do to protect our keys, we live in a compromised network by default right now. From Internet service providers to DNS, to emails, etc., vulnerabilities, spyware, and malware exist at every level. The chances of clients, extensions, phones, keyboard tracking, networks, etc., being surveilled are extremely high. In short, key rotation or some other safeguard in the future should be on the radar. Not even giving it a thought is naïve. It assumes we can truly keep our keys uncompromised. We can try, but eventually, if a state-funded surveillance machine comes after you, it's very likely you and I will fail. Unless everything is kept completely offline, and even then, at some point, you still need to input your key somewhere. I’m fine with this risk for now, but we have to assume that, for 99% of users, keys can be compromised despite their best efforts. And once that happens, someone else can sign your events. I don’t know the solution, but maybe when creating your Nostr identity, you could have two or three nsec keys. 1) One nsec key is your normal one. 2) If you get compromised (not if you lose it), you would need to input your second nsec key + first nsec key. Something like that. This wouldn’t prevent poor key management, but it would help mitigate stolen keys, as the chances of a thief having the second or third key are much lower. View quoted note →

I drastically cut in the content of the presentation eventually. In hindsight i could have added a few bits more, but having 20 minutes of Q&A was nice aswell.

I like 'event' because it implies an action in time; and because signing is a performance, this is correct. As such an event implies it carriers its own context of actor(s) and time; which is also correct. Event is the correct term, and as is always true, Dutch does it better, naming it: Gebeurtenis

I always thought about "other stuff" as anything that isn't kind 1 but it's notes all the way down 🐢

These are the only events I like because events in real life makes me anxious.

Excellent presentation. I will be sharing this!

Really good talk. Not even mentioning #zap

Given that there is this large group of opensource software developers that dislike Bitcoin with a passion, i actively avoided the subject.

this is really good View quoted note →

👏👏

notes and events transmitted by relays NETR

Wanna be minister of foreign affairs?

Awesome @Constant thanks

Really cool

Full presentation here: Or here on youtube:

Good presentation, made it much more simple to understand for me.

For what its worth:

This does not go into any the bitcoin stuff

somehow i never saw this presentation until now. good stuff. View quoted note →
