Bottom-up Load-balancing for Nostr Relays

Goal: protect your relay by distributing clients more evenly across all relays without top-down coordination.

The problem

Nostr relays are a public good with the costs borne by benevolent volunteers running them. So far this system has been robust, supporting tens of thousands of active users per month. There is some low-key evidence of strain on these servers (see below) and overload could become a bigger problem as the network grows, attracts spammers, griefers, and other bad actors. It could become expensive to run the most popular relays even under ideal conditions with conscientious users.

The main strategies employed by relays to mitigate overload currently are a) throttling requests b) pre-set PoW c) authentication of some form, with throttling being common on popular servers. Throttling is an opaque strategy where client apps only receive the kill signal once they have been throttled. Pre-set PoW is exclusionary to most clients that don't implement it, and authentication is centralizing.

The current strategy employed by clients for selecting relays is for client apps to choose a set of default relays, and for users to modify those defaults manually in the UI. This results in natural aggregation of clients on the more popular relays. This concentrates load on a smaller number of relays and is centralizing.

A solution

A solution that helps both clients and relays is to make the relay overload signal legible.

Our proposal is simple:

1. Relay software measures common load utilization percentage metrics like cpu, memory, and disk.
2. Overloaded relays publish their current load expressed as a proof-of-work requirement (NIP-11).
3. Clients upon seeing the proof-of-work requirement can do the PoW or switch relays (NIP-13, NIP-01).

This sets up a basic PoW market where "prices" help "consumers" decide where to allocate their "capital" (events with proof-of-work tokens). The likely effect is that clients will automatically re-distribute their traffic away from "expensive" overloaded relays towards "cheap" underloaded relays, making the entire network healthier.

The new thing here is tying PoW to load. Existing NIPs cover most of the PoW part of the soultion. NIP-11 covers publishing of PoW requirements by relays. NIP-13 and NIP-01 cover clients performing PoW and relays reacting to it.

A pleasant side-effect of using PoW as the load signal is that would-be spammers are forced to pay an actual cost in the form of energy expenditure and hardware.

How to participate

Participation is opt-in. Any relay or client can participate in this scheme if they want to try it out, or ignore it if they don't. It doesn't require large scale changes to the protocol.

Relay implementation

To participate in this protocol relays would make these changes:

1. Collect load metrics.
2. Publish PoW requirements (NIP-11).
3. Check PoW on incoming client events (NIP-13, NIP-01).

Collecting load metrics is straightforward. Relays can collect CPU loadavg, memory usage (averaged), and disk utilization as percentages. We suggest the final load percentage value should be: max(cpu%, mem%, disk%) as a starting point. The reason for using max() is that problems arise if any of your resources is exhausted, so we should rely on the most exhausted resource as the actual load value.

PoW required can be calculated (see section below) by using a sensible starting point for tolerable load - the zero-PoW-load point. A max-bits diffculty can be specified for the 100% load point. The zero-PoW-load value is the load percentage up until which the relay is comfortable offering connections "free" without requring any PoW. This situation would be the same as it is currently with clients able to freely connect to most relays. Once the zero-PoW-load is reached the server would start publishing a number of bits of PoW required using NIP-11. The PoW required would scale up with the load experienced. Of course zero-PoW-load can be set low to facilitate early PoW market signals.

New metrics that relays care about can be added to the calculation in future without clients caring. Other metrics could be used such as percent of available TCP/websocket connection slots used, or actual server rental costs vs. maximum cost a volunteer will bear.

Validating PoW on incoming client events is something that has already been discussed and implemented in relays. See NIPs 11, 13, and 01.

PoW Required Calculation

• zero_pow_load is a setting for the minimum load percentage where PoW should kick in with 1 bit of PoW. 80% could be a sensible starting point. Operators of popular relays can use their own historical data to determine this.
• max_bits is set to the highest PoW clients will have to do when server load goes near 100%. This can be calibrated to some value like 1 hour of PoW on an average modern device. It's not expected clients will actually perform this but it sets the scale, and it should prevent highly resourced spammers from 100% utilization of any relay.
• current_load is the computed maximum of all of the load metric percentages gathered.

Then the formula for calculating the required PoW bits is:

pow_bits_required = max_bits * max(0, (current_load - zero_pow_load) / (100 - zero_pow_load))

Since PoW increases logarithmically (each bit being exponentially harder than the last) some scaling function may be required to smooth this off.

Client implementation

These are the changes clients would make to participate in this protocol.

1. Select relays based on PoW (favour PoW-cheap + known reliable relays).
2. Do PoW if connecting to overloaded servers (NIP-11 and NIP-13).

Selecting relays for the user then might mean keeping a larger list of potential default relays and selecting a subset at setup time based on PoW requirements. It might also mean actively monitoring for high-PoW relays and switching away if a relay is frequently expensive.

It is in a client's best interest to select a low-PoW underloaded set of relays to publish to, whilst still favouring known-reliable relays. If the whole network becomes loaded then PoW acts as a deterrent for non-critical use and spammers. Only the most commited clients and users will participate. It can also be a transparent signal to the community that more relays are required.

Addenda

So that's the main specification of the scheme. The following are related addenda.

Evidence of strain

Some random low-key evidence of strain on relays, and worries about the costs of running them.

TODO: sample some nostr events/users randomly from the firehose and get stats on relay centralization.

More weird PoW ideas

One thing not covered in NIPs is PoW-on-connect which could help in future if there are malicious clients camping on websockets.

Another idea is building PoW into npubs, similar to vanitygen, which would put some skin-in-the-game onto users when creating keys. Some relays may choose only to service high PoW npubs that have proven their commitment to the network and protocol.

On resource rationing

Some ways to ration unexpectedly demanded goods in an emergency:

(1) market prices ("price gouging") (2) waiting in line (3) centrally planned rationing (4) don't ration: just let the resource run out

-- Nick Szabo on Twitter

Market prices are a least-worst business-as-usual option.

“พระอาจารย์คะ หนูไม่ได้อะไรนะคะ ก็ในเมื่อพระพุทธศาสนามีแก่นคำสอนอยู่แล้ว ถ้าหนูคิดว่าควรจะลดพวกวัด หรืออะไรต่างๆ ลง นี่เป็นบาปมั้ยคะ?”

“เจริญพร ตอนหนูกินกล้วยนี่กินเปลือกหรือกินผลกล้วย ?” ”กินผลกล้วยค่ะ” “เหรอ…แล้วก่อนจะกินกล้วยหนูต้องปอกก่อนมั้ย ?” เด็กสาวหน้าตาสะอาดสะอ้าน พยักหน้าหงึก~

“ปอกทำไมล่ะ?” “ก็เปลือกมันกินไม่ได้หนิคะ” “อ๋อ…อย่างนั้นเปลือกก็ไม่มีประโยชน์เลยใช่มั้ย?” เธอส่ายหน้า

ผู้เขียนบรรยายต่อ “เพราะจริงๆ แล้วเปลือกก็มีประโยชน์ มันมีไว้เพื่อรักษาผลกล้วยเอาไว้…เปลือกทุเรียน เปลือกขนุนก็เช่นกัน ลองคิดดูสิ ถ้าเปลือกอันไหนปอกยากๆ มันก็มักจะรักษาเนื้อในไว้ได้ดี และเนื้อในก็อร่อยด้วย…”

“…เราจะกินเนื้อข้างใน ต้องก็ไม่สับสนไปกินเปลือก หรือกินแต่เปลือกแล้วทิ้งเนื้อ นี่ก็ไม่ใช่ หน้าที่เราคือการรู้ว่าอะไรคือเปลือก อะไรคือเนื้อ แล้วต้องรู้จักวิธีปอกด้วย”

“พระอาจารย์ยอมรับตามตรงเลยนะว่า ส่วนตัวไม่ได้ชอบการก่อสร้าง การประดับตกแต่ง หรือพิธีกรรมพวกนี้อะไรเท่าไหร่ แต่ก็เข้าใจได้ บางคนชอบทำ เพราะเขาว่ามันมีประโยชน์ ก็ถูกของเขา เราแค่อย่าไปชวนทะเลาะ…”

“…มันเป็นเรื่องที่เราต้องปอกให้เป็น ไม่หลงไปกินเปลือกเสียเอง แต่ก็ต้องค่อยๆ หาจังหวะพาให้เขาเข้าใจและระวังไม่ทิ้งเนื้อในออกไปด้วย…”

…ยกตัวอย่างเช่น ‘การกราบ’ พระอาจารย์ไม่ได้ซีเรียสนะว่าพวกเราจะกราบพระอาจารย์หรือเปล่า ไม่บังคับ”

“…พระอาจารย์อ่านพระสูตรแล้วมาวิเคราะห์ พบว่าในสมัยพุทธกาล ตอนพระพุทธเจ้าแสดงธรรม มีคนเข้ามาฟังเยอะมาก บางคนเข้ามาแล้วกราบ บางคนแค่พนมมือ บางคนไม่กราบ นั่งพรวดเลย บางคนก็เดินผ่านไป ไม่เข้ามาฟังเลยก็มี”

“…ส่วนตอนกลับออกไป ก็มีหลากหลายแบบเช่นกัน เลยจินตนาการว่า บางคนที่ศรัทธามาแล้วยังศรัทธาอยู่ก็มี ฟังแล้วเปลี่ยนไปไม่ศรัทธาก็มี บางคนไม่ศรัทธาก่อนฟังแต่เปลี่ยนตอนหลังก็มี ไม่เปลี่ยนใจก็มี มันแตกต่างหลากหลายมาก นี่ขนาดสมัยพระพุทธเจ้านะ”

“…แต่เราต้องถามว่า “การกราบ” ให้อะไรเรา พระอาจารย์เพิ่งจะได้มากราบก็ตอนบวชเนี่ยแหละ กราบมาตลอด ๑๔ ปี แรกๆ ก็ทำตามๆ ไป”

“…แต่หลังๆ เริ่มเข้าใจ เริ่มเห็นว่าการกราบนี่เป็นการฝึกตนเองให้ลดมานะละทิฏฐิ รู้จักกาลเทศะ อ่อนน้อมถ่อมตน”

“…แล้วตอนที่มีใครมากราบพระอาจารย์ พระอาจารย์อยากจะสอน อยากจะคุยกับเขามากกว่าคนที่ไม่กราบ มันดูเก้ๆ กังๆ ไม่รู้ว่าเขาเป็นยังไง ทำทีนิ่งๆ ไว้ก่อนดีกว่า”

“…แล้วหนูคิดว่าบางคนกราบๆ ไปแบบไม่รู้ความหมาย มีมั้ย?” เด็กน้อยพยักหน้า

“ใช่มั้ย…พระอาจารย์เลยคิดว่า การกราบก็ดี พิธีกรรมก็ดี วัดวาอารามก็ดี ไม่ใช่เนื้อหาสูงสุด ไม่ใช่แก่น แต่มันก็มีความหมาย พาให้เราเข้าถึงประโยชน์ที่สูงสุดที่อยู่ซ่อนในนั้น เป็นหน้าที่ที่เราต้องทำความเข้าใจ หากเราอยากจะเข้าใจมัน”

“พระอาจารย์เชื่อมั่นว่า ศาสนาที่แท้ไม่ได้อยู่ในวัตถุ สิ่งของ เพราะไม่เช่นนั้นแล้ว ‘บูโรพุทโธ’ ที่เป็นศาสนสถานที่ใหญ่ที่สุดในโลก มีเจดีย์ละลานตา จะต้องมีพระ มีชาวพุทธจำนวนมากตามกัน แต่เดี๋ยวนี้เป็นอย่างไรบ้าง? รู้มั้ย?“ เด็กน้อยส่ายหน้า

“…ตอนนี้ เป็นเพียงสถานที่ท่องเที่ยว ไม่มีพระอยู่อาศัยแล้ว”

“…ที่หนูว่าจะลดวัดต่างๆ ลง นี่หนูคิดว่าจะเอาไปทำอะไรเหรอ?” “คืออย่างเอาไปเป็นสวนสาธารณะอย่างเนี่ยน่ะค่ะ”

“ดีนะ…เข้าท่า พระอาจารย์ชอบ คนอื่นจะได้มาใช้กันเยอะๆ มีต้นไม้ มีสัตว์ต่างๆ ด้วย ทุกคนจะได้สบายใจ” เด็กน้อยตาวาว

“แต่เราสามารถทำให้วัดมีต้นไม้เยอะๆ ได้มั้ยล่ะ ทำวัดให้เหมือนสวนสาธารณะไง ไอเดียดีมั้ย?” รอยยิ้มเด็กน้อยผุดขึ้น

“…ซึ่งถึงแม้พระอาจารย์ไม่อยากให้เราติดอยู่ที่วัตถุหรือรูปแบบพิธีกรรมขนาดไหน พระอาจารย์ก็เห็นประโยชน์ของมันอยู่นะ หนูดูนั่นสิ !”

ปลายนิ้วชี้ไปที่ ‘กล่องไม้แกะสลัก’ เด็กๆ ทั้งห้องหันหน้าไปมองเป็นตาเดียว

“…กล่องนี้อาจจะเป็นกล่องไม้ธรรมดาๆ ไม่มีค่าอะไร แต่พอแกะสลักปุ๊บ ดูมีค่าขึ้นมาทันทีเลย ดูแตกต่างจากกล่องอื่นๆ ช่างที่ทำก็ต้องมีฝีมือ มีเวลา ทุ่มเทเอาใจใส่กว่าจะเกิดผลงานเช่นนี้ขึ้น

“…ถ้ามีกล่องไม้หลายๆ กล่อง แล้วจะต้องเลือกเก็บไว้สักหนึ่งอัน กล่องนี้คงเป็นกล่องแรกๆ ที่ถูกเลือกก่อน

“…นี่เรียกว่า ‘คุณค่าของความสวยงาม’ พวกโบสถ์ เจดีย์ สถานที่สวยๆ งามๆ คนก็จะมาดูแลรักษาก่อน ทำความสะอาด เก็บรักษาการใช้งานที่จะเกิดขึ้นภายในอาคารเหล่านั้น พระอาจารย์เดาว่า แรกเริ่มเดิมทีธรรมเนียมนิยมในการสร้างวัดต่างๆ ให้สวยงาม คงเป็นแบบนี้”

“อีกนิดนะ เรื่องบุญหรือบาป ชวนหนูทำความเข้าใจความหมายก่อน บุญ แปลว่า การชำระใจให้สะอาด บาป แปลว่า การทำให้จิตใจตกต่ำ เศร้าหมอง”

“การที่หนูอยากจะทำสวนสาธารณะ นี่บุญหรือบาป?” “บุญค่ะ”

“ถ้าหนูรู้สึกรำคาญ อยากจะทุบวัดให้หมดๆ ไป นี่บุญหรือบาป?” “บาปค่ะ”

“แล้วถ้าหนูกราบด้วยความเข้าใจ อยากจะฝึกตนเองให้อ่อนน้อมถ่อมตน พร้อมรับฟังธรรมะจากพระ นี่บุญหรือบาป?” “บุญค่ะ”

“การที่หนูกราบแบบขอไปที หลงๆ ลืมๆ ทำตามเพื่อนๆ ไป นี่บุญหรือบาป?” เด็กน้อยนิ่ง เหลือบตามองบน

“ยังไม่ชัดใช่มั้ย?” “ค่ะ“ เธอพยักหน้าแรง

“งั้นพระอาจารย์ก็ฝากหนูสังเกต ‘ใจ’ ตัวเองนะ ว่ามันเป็นยังไง บุญหรือบาป สะอาดหรือตกต่ำ ไม่ใช่แค่การกราบ แต่เป็นทุกๆ การกระทำ คำพูด และความคิดเลย”

“นี่พระอาจารย์ พอจะตอบคำถามหนูได้กี่เปอร์เซ็นต์?” “ร้อยเปอร์เซ็นต์ค่ะ” “เหรอ…โอเค ขอบคุณมากค่ะสำหรับคำถาม”

เด็กๆ พากันกราบแล้วเดินออกจากศาลาไป ผู้เขียนอาศัย “ตีเหล็กตอนร้อน” พิจารณาชื่นชมคำถามและคำตอบเมื่อสักครู่

คำถามของเด็กน้อยคนนี้ ไม่ใช่เด็กๆ เลย คำถามเธอเป็น ‘ผู้ใหญ่’ มากกว่าผู้ใหญ่หลายคนที่เคยถามมาเสียอีก

มันทั้งความคมคาย ละเอียดและมีชั้นเชิง น้ำเสียงชัดเจน มั่นใจ เลือกแสดงออกอย่างกล้าหาญพร้อมไปกับเจือความนอบน้อมอยู่ในที ถามได้ตรงประเด็น เกิดประโยชน์ สร้างรอยหยักในสมองให้ทั้งผู้ถูกถามและผู้ร่วมฟัง

ระหว่างฟัง เธอมองหน้าและคิดตาม มีปฏิกิริยาตอบสนอง ช่วยให้เกิดการร่วมเรียนรู้ไปด้วยกัน เป็นผู้ฟังที่ดีไม่ชัดจังหวะ และที่สำคัญรอยยิ้มและแววตาของเธอได้กระจายไปให้กำลังใจเพื่อนๆ ในห้องด้วย

และนี่ มันทำให้ผู้ตอบ รู้สึกดี ภูมิใจที่ได้มานั่งอยู่ตรงนี้ ในวันนี้ เวลานี้

ดีใจจริงๆ ที่ยังมีเด็กที่มีจิตใจที่งดงาม คิดถึงธรรมชาติ และคิดทำประโยชน์สุขให้ผู้อื่นอยู่ แถมเธอยังรู้และสนใจใน “พุทธะ” ที่เป็นแก่นสารสาระที่แท้จริงอีกด้วย

“มันน่าภูมิใจจริงๆ ที่ได้รับรู้ว่าธรรมะกำลังเคลื่อนไปสู่คนรุ่นหลัง จริงมั้ยครับ?”

ผู้เขียนไม่ได้ถามใคร ได้แต่หันไปมองรูปปั้นหินอ่อนลักษณะคล้ายคนที่วางไว้ข้างหลัง น้อมระลึกถึงคุณของพระพุทธองค์ ผู้เป็นบรมครู ไม่เสื่อมคลาย

เมื่อพูดถึง Bitcoin Standard หลายคนมักนึกถึงภาพโลกอนาคตที่ทุกคนใช้บิตคอยน์ซื้อกาแฟหรือของใช้ในชีวิตประจำวัน ภาพแบบนั้นดูเหมือนไกลตัวและเป็นไปไม่ได้ในความเป็นจริง หลายคนถึงกับพูดว่า “คงไม่ทันเห็นในช่วงชีวิตนี้หรอก” แต่ในมุมมองของผม Bitcoin Standard อาจไม่ได้เริ่มต้นจากการที่เราจ่ายบิตคอยน์โดยตรงในร้านค้า แต่อาจเริ่มจากบางสิ่งที่เงียบกว่า ลึกกว่า และเกิดขึ้นแล้วในขณะนี้ นั่นคือ การล่มสลายทีละน้อยของระบบเฟียตที่เราใช้กันอยู่

ระบบเงินที่อิงกับอำนาจรัฐกำลังเข้าสู่ช่วงขาลง รัฐบาลทั่วโลกกำลังจมอยู่ในภาระหนี้ระดับประวัติการณ์ แม้แต่ประเทศมหาอำนาจก็เริ่มแสดงสัญญาณของภาวะเสี่ยงผิดนัดชำระหนี้ อัตราเงินเฟ้อกลายเป็นปัญหาเรื้อรังที่ไม่มีท่าทีจะหายไป ธนาคารที่เคยโอนฟรีเริ่มกลับมาคิดค่าธรรมเนียม และประชาชนก็เริ่มรู้สึกถึงการเสื่อมศรัทธาในระบบการเงินดั้งเดิม แม้จะยังพูดกันไม่เต็มเสียงก็ตาม

ในขณะเดียวกัน บิตคอยน์เองก็กำลังพัฒนาแบบเงียบ ๆ เงียบ... แต่ไม่เคยหยุด โดยเฉพาะในระดับ Layer 2 ที่เริ่มแสดงศักยภาพอย่างจริงจัง Lightning Network เป็น Layer 2 ที่เปิดใช้งานมาได้ระยะเวลสหนึ่ง และยังคงมีบทบาทสำคัญที่สุดในระบบนิเวศของบิตคอยน์ มันทำให้การชำระเงินเร็วขึ้น มีต้นทุนต่ำ และไม่ต้องบันทึกทุกธุรกรรมลงบล็อกเชน เครือข่ายนี้กำลังขยายตัวทั้งในแง่ของโหนดและการใช้งานจริงทั่วโลก

ขณะเดียวกัน Layer 2 ทางเลือกอื่นอย่าง Ark Protocol ก็กำลังพัฒนาเพื่อตอบโจทย์ด้านความเป็นส่วนตัวและประสบการณ์ใช้งานที่ง่าย BitVM เปิดแนวทางใหม่ให้บิตคอยน์รองรับ smart contract ได้ในระดับ Turing-complete ซึ่งทำให้เกิดความเป็นไปได้ในกรณีใช้งานอีกมากมาย และเทคโนโลยีที่น่าสนใจอย่าง Taproot Assets, Cashu และ Fedimint ก็ทำให้การออกโทเคนหรือสกุลเงินที่อิงกับบิตคอยน์เป็นจริงได้บนโครงสร้างของบิตคอยน์เอง

เทคโนโลยีเหล่านี้ไม่ใช่การเติบโตแบบปาฏิหาริย์ แต่มันคืบหน้าอย่างต่อเนื่องและมั่นคง และนั่นคือเหตุผลที่มันจะ “อยู่รอด” ได้ในระยะยาว เมื่อฐานของความน่าเชื่อถือไม่ใช่บริษัท รัฐบาล หรือทุน แต่คือสิ่งที่ตรวจสอบได้และเปลี่ยนกฎไม่ได้

แน่นอนว่าบิตคอยน์ต้องแข่งขันกับ stable coin, เงินดิจิทัลของรัฐ และ cryptocurrency อื่น ๆ แต่สิ่งที่ทำให้มันเหนือกว่านั้นไม่ใช่ฟีเจอร์ หากแต่เป็นความทนทาน และความมั่นคงของกฎที่ไม่มีใครเปลี่ยนได้ ไม่มีทีมพัฒนา ไม่มีบริษัท ไม่มีประตูปิด หรือการยึดบัญชี มันยืนอยู่บนคณิตศาสตร์ พลังงาน และเวลา

หลายกรณีใช้งานที่เคยถูกทดลองในโลกคริปโตจะค่อย ๆ เคลื่อนเข้ามาสู่บิตคอยน์ เพราะโครงสร้างของมันแข็งแกร่งกว่า ไม่ต้องการทีมพัฒนาแกนกลาง ไม่ต้องพึ่งกลไกเสี่ยงต่อการผูกขาด และไม่ต้องการ “ความเชื่อใจ” จากใครเลย

Bitcoin Standard ที่ผมพูดถึงจึงไม่ใช่การเปลี่ยนแปลงแบบพลิกหน้ามือเป็นหลังมือ แต่คือการ “เปลี่ยนฐานของระบบ” ทีละชั้น ระบบการเงินใหม่ที่อิงอยู่กับบิตคอยน์กำลังเกิดขึ้นแล้ว มันไม่ใช่โลกที่ทุกคนถือเหรียญบิตคอยน์ แต่มันคือโลกที่คนใช้อาจไม่รู้ตัวด้วยซ้ำว่า “สิ่งที่เขาใช้นั้นอิงอยู่กับบิตคอยน์”

ผู้คนอาจใช้เงินดิจิทัลที่สร้างบน Layer 3 หรือ Layer 4 ผ่านแอป ผ่านแพลตฟอร์ม หรือผ่านสกุลเงินใหม่ที่ดูไม่ต่างจากเดิม แต่เบื้องหลังของระบบจะผูกไว้กับบิตคอยน์

และถ้ามองในเชิงพัฒนาการ บิตคอยน์ก็เหมือนกับอินเทอร์เน็ต ครั้งหนึ่งอินเทอร์เน็ตก็ถูกมองว่าเข้าใจยาก ต้องพิมพ์ http ต้องรู้จัก TCP/IP ต้องตั้ง proxy เอง แต่ปัจจุบันผู้คนใช้งานอินเทอร์เน็ตโดยไม่รู้ว่าเบื้องหลังมีอะไรเลย บิตคอยน์กำลังเดินตามเส้นทางเดียวกัน โปรโตคอลกำลังถอยออกจากสายตา และวันหนึ่งเราจะ “ใช้มัน” โดยไม่ต้องรู้ว่ามันคืออะไร

หากนับจากช่วงเริ่มต้นของอินเทอร์เน็ตในยุค 1990 จนกลายเป็นโครงสร้างหลักของโลกในสองทศวรรษ เส้นเวลาของบิตคอยน์ก็กำลังเดินตามรอยเท้าของอินเทอร์เน็ต และถ้าเราเชื่อว่าวัฏจักรของเทคโนโลยีมีจังหวะของมันเอง เราก็จะรู้ว่า Bitcoin Standard นั้นไม่ใช่เรื่องของอนาคตไกลโพ้น แต่มันเกิดขึ้นแล้ว

Today we’re launching Buzzbot Discuss, a new extension designed to encourage more thoughtful dialogue on Nostr.

Here’s how it works: -Tag @buzzbot discuss [amount] (e.g., @buzzbot discuss 5000) -Pay the invoice sent to your DMs -Spark a conversation

After 24 hours, the sats are distributed: -40% to the most frequently zapped comment -30% to the most replied-to comment -30% to the most liked comment

Most social platforms reward outrage. But Nostr offers a different possibility: a space where conversations can go deeper.

Buzzbot Discuss is an experiment in that direction.

The original Buzzbot rewards general engagement: zaps, reposts, likes, and random comments. It’s great for boosting visibility.

Buzzbot Discuss is more focused. By targeting the most zapped, most replied-to, and most liked comments, we’re aiming to highlight replies that actually contribute to the conversation. And the longer a thread continues under a reply, the more potentially lucrative it becomes.

It’s a simple shift, but hopefully a powerful one.

One possible future we’re heading toward is a world where rogue bots and impersonators flood the internet with noise. In that world, authenticity will be hard to find and even harder to prove.

Could sats be the signal?

A post backed by sats might become the only way people know it’s real because someone cared enough to stake value on it.

Give Buzzbot Discuss a try and let us know what you think.

Pay Attention.

วันหนึ่งเฮียนั่งอ่านบทความที่ชื่อว่า “Lactose, we need to talk” จากเว็บไซต์ของบริษัท Formo ผู้ผลิตชีสที่บอกว่า “ไม่ต้องมีวัว ก็อร่อยได้” ด้วยเทคโนโลยีหมักจุลินทรีย์อัจฉริยะจากเยอรมนี ที่เราเคยคุยเรื่องนี้กันไปแล้ว มันฟังดูเหมือนจะเป็นนวัตกรรมสุดเจ๋งที่เป็นมิตรกับทั้งโลกและกระเพาะ แต่พอเฮียไล่อ่านลึกลงไปเรื่อย ๆ กลับเจอกลยุทธ์ทางการตลาดที่ชวนให้ขมวดคิ้วไม่แพ้ชีสที่กินแล้วลิ้นฝาด ขอใส่ไอคอนการ์ตูนไว้หน่อยนะครับ จะได้ไม่ลายตา เพราะเราจะแบ่งช่วงมาวิเคราะห์กันเป็นข้อๆ

🍶 บทความของ Formo เปิดประโยคด้วยการตั้งคำถามถึง “การดื่มนมจากสัตว์ต่างสายพันธุ์” พร้อมยกประเด็นเรื่อง Lactose Intolerance ว่าเป็นสิ่งผิดปกติที่คนเรายังดื่มนมทั้งที่ร่างกายคนส่วนใหญ่ (โดยเฉพาะชาวเอเชียและแอฟริกัน) ไม่มีเอนไซม์ย่อยแลคโตสในวัยผู้ใหญ่

ฟังผ่าน ๆ ดูน่าเชื่อ แต่อย่าลืมว่า แลคโตสไม่ได้อยู่ในชีสทุกชนิด และหลายคนที่แพ้นมกลับกินชีสแท้ ๆ จากวัวได้สบายมาก โดยเฉพาะชีสหมักระยะยาว เช่น พาร์เมซาน เชดดาร์ หรือกูด้า ที่แลคโตสแทบเป็นศูนย์ ซึ่งต่างจากชีสทางเลือกที่ผลิตด้วยกระบวนการเร่ง ที่ไม่ได้หมักตามธรรมชาติ

ดังนั้น วัวไม่ผิด แค่ถูกพูดถึงในบริบทที่เสียเปรียบ การกล่าวหานมวัวด้วยข้อมูลเรื่อง lactose intolerance โดยไม่พูดถึงชีส aged ที่ไม่มีแลคโตสเลย เป็นการจงใจเบี่ยงข้อมูลเพื่อสร้างอารมณ์ด้านลบต่อ dairy ทั้งระบบ

🧬Formo บอกว่า คนที่ย่อยแลคโตสได้ในวัยผู้ใหญ่คือ “ผู้กลายพันธุ์” เพราะธรรมชาติไม่ตั้งใจให้เราดื่มนมหลังหย่านม ฟังดูเหมือนเน้นธรรมชาติ แต่เฮียอยากถามว่า “ถ้าอย่างนั้นการสวมแว่น การกินวิตามิน การตั้งไฟหุงข้าว คือการฝืนธรรมชาติหมดเลยหรือเปล่า?” หรือจะหนักกว่านั้น ให้ย้ำไปเลยไหมว่า การกินวิตามินซี คือการทรยศต่อวิวัฒนาการ เพราะในยุคดึกดำบรรพ์มนุษย์เคยสังเคราะห์วิตามินซีได้เอง ก่อนที่ความสามารถนี้จะสูญสลายไปเพราะร่างกายเลือกใช้ ยูริก ที่มีประสิทธิภาพกว่า ดังนั้น การมองยีนที่วิวัฒนาการเพื่อย่อยแลคโตสเป็น “กลายพันธุ์ผิดธรรมชาติ” นั้นย้อนแย้งกับหลักการวิวัฒนาการเอง “ยีนย่อยแลคโตส” ไม่ใช่ความผิดปกติ

🥬 ในบทความยังแนะนำว่า เราสามารถได้แคลเซียมจากคะน้า บรอกโคลี และเต้าหู้ โดยไม่ต้องพึ่งนมวัว เฮียอยากให้ใจเย็นแล้วคิดแบบไม่อคติ จริงอยู่ ผักพวกนี้มีแคลเซียม แต่ปริมาณที่กินต่อครั้ง กินง่าย และการดูดซึม (Bioavailability) แตกต่างกันมาก แถมผักใบเขียวพวกนี้ยังมี oxalate สูง ซึ่งไปจับกับแคลเซียมแล้วร่างกายดูดซึมไม่ได้ นี่ยังไม่พูดถึงว่าเต้าหู้ในบทความเป็นแบบเต้าหู้แข็งที่ทำจากแคลเซียมซัลเฟต ซึ่งเป็นแคลเซียมสังเคราะห์ ไม่ใช่แหล่งแร่ธาตุตามธรรมชาติแบบในนมวัวอยู่ดี การเปรียบเทียบแคลเซียมจากผัก ก็ไม่ต่างกับการเปรียบเทียบกล้วยกับปลา มันคนละเรื่องกัน

💔 ชูเรื่องสิว หัวใจ มะเร็ง แบบไม่มีบริบท Formo ยังโยงว่าการดื่มนมวัวสัมพันธ์กับสิว ปัญหาผิว โรคหัวใจ ไปจนถึงมะเร็งบางชนิด ซึ่งเป็นข้อมูลที่เคยถูกพูดถึงในงานวิจัยบางกลุ่ม แต่ ไม่มีฉันทามติทางวิทยาศาสตร์ชัดเจน และส่วนใหญ่ปัจจัยที่เกี่ยวข้องมักจะเป็นอาหารแปรรูป น้ำตาลสูง หรืออาหาร ultra-processed dairy ไม่ใช่นมดิบหรือชีสแท้จากฟาร์มจริง

🧀 แล้วชีสจาก Formo มีดีจริงรึเปล่า ก็ต้องยอมรับว่าเทคโนโลยี precision fermentation ที่ใช้เชื้อรา (เช่น Aspergillus oryzae) ผลิตโปรตีนคล้ายเคซีนของ Formo นั้นล้ำและน่าสนใจในแง่วิทยาศาสตร์ แต่ในแง่ ความสมบูรณ์ทางโภชนาการและความใกล้ชิดธรรมชาติ ยังห่างจากชีสแท้ที่เกิดจากนมและจุลินทรีย์ตามธรรมชาติแบบหลายช่วงตัว ชีสแท้ ๆ มีจุลินทรีย์โพรไบโอติกส์ กรดไขมันสายสั้น และวิตามินจากหญ้า เช่น K2 ที่เกิดจากวัวที่เลี้ยงด้วย grass-fed ซึ่งทั้งหมดนี้ Formo ยังเลียนแบบไม่ได้ เทคโนโลยีชีสไร้วัวอาจดูสะอาดและควบคุมได้ดีในห้องแล็บ แต่ยังไม่ใช่ "อาหารตามธรรมชาติ" ที่ร่างกายรู้จักมาตลอดวิวัฒนาการ

Formo ใช้บทความ “Lactose, we need to talk” เป็นเหมือนการ “ตั้งวงซุบซิบนินทาวัว” อย่างมีชั้นเชิง ด้วยการเอาข้อเท็จจริงมาครึ่งหนึ่ง แล้วผสมกลิ่นอารมณ์และความรู้สึกผิดเข้าไปอีกครึ่งหนึ่ง จนกลายเป็นการเล่าเรื่องที่ดูจริงใจแต่ซ่อนความตั้งใจขายของอยู่ข้างใน

เฮียไม่มีสิทธิ์บอกว่า Formo ดีหรือไม่ดีนะครับ แม้นวัตกรรมแบบนี้อาจมีที่ยืนในโลกอนาคต ไม่ว่าเราจะเลือกได้หรือไม่ได้ก็ตาม แต่ในปัจจุบันในฐานะผู้บริโภค เราควรฝึกการมองตลาดด้วยสมองและสัญชาตญาณ ไม่ใช่แค่ตามกระแสที่โจมตีวัวในขณะที่ยกย่องแล็บ

โลกทุกวันนี้มักใช้วิธีนี้เช่นกันครับ มันเป็นวิธีเดิมๆ ที่ได้ผลเสมอ ดังนั้นปัญหาจึงไม่ได้อยู่ที่ว่าพวกเขาจะพูดด้านเดียวบ่อยแค่ไหน เพราะจุดประสงค์เขาคืออยากให้เราเชื่อ ปัญหาจึงอยู่ที่พวกเราต่างหาก ว่าสะสมความรู้ให้เพียงพอกับการรับมือการใช้สื่อ จากคนบางคนได้อย่างมีภูมิคุ้มกันแค่ไหน เพราะเกมส์นี้ก็ยังคงต้องดำเนินต่อไปจนกว่าการครอบครองตลาดจะสมบูรณ์ครับ ดังนั้น information attack ก็ยังคงดำเนินต่อไป ไม่ว่าจะด้านสารอาหาร การรักโลก หรือ สิ่งที่ทำให้หนักใจเสมอ แล้วมีความกดดันอย่างสูงนั่นคือ การลงมาเล่นด้าน จริยธรรม

คำถามที่สำคัญเหนือสิ่งใดคือ ทางรอดคืออะไร

ผมแนบต้นฉบับบทความนั้นมาให้ด้วยครับ ต้องยอมรับครับว่าเขียนได้ดีเลยและน่าคล้อยตามมากๆ อ่อ อ่านแล้วคุ้นๆไหมครับ ที่เฮียเคยเตือนว่า อย่าไปตั้งให้นมเป็นอาหารเทพนัก หลายๆส่วนระหว่างบรรทัด ก็ใช่ว่าจะไม่จริงไปเสียทั้งหมดนะครับ แค่บริบทโดยรวม มัน mislead ไปหน่อย

Lactose, we need to talk: The drama behind dairy’s hidden sugar

Cue the violins—it’s the classic love story with a tragic twist: us and dairy. We crave it, we drizzle it, we melt it, we scoop it. But hidden beneath that creamy, dreamy goodness? A troublemaker called lactose.

It might sound harmless, but for a lot of us, lactose is the culprit behind dairy’s not-so-pleasant side effects. In fact, the majority of the world’s population struggles to digest it properly.

So why do we keep chugging cow’s milk like it’s the elixir of life? And how did dairy become such a staple in our diets?

Grab your favorite cheese alternative (might we suggest Frischhain?) and join us for a deep dive into the world of lactose—what it is, why it matters, and how we are stepping in with our animal-free cheese to save the day.

“In a way, being able to chug a glass of milk without consequences is actually a genetic anomaly—one that we pretty much engineered ourselves over thousands of years.” The inside scoop: What’s LActose? Let’s start with the basics. Lactose is the natural sugar found in dairy milk—a built-in sweetener, if you will. But here’s the twist: your body needs a special enzyme called lactase to break it down. Without enough lactase, lactose turns into the life of the digestion-party you didn’t RSVP to: bloating, cramps, and a whole lot of regret.

As infants, our bodies produce plenty of lactase to digest breast milk. But for most of us, that enzyme naturally switches off once we grow into adulthood. In fact, until just a few thousand years ago, lactose intolerance (or “lactase nonpersistence”) was the norm for all adults.

Lactose Tolerance: A genetic Mutation Still today, nearly 70% of the global population are actually lactose intolerant—so, a heck of a lot of people. In certain regions, like East Asia and Africa, that number shoots up to almost 100%. But then, there’s a select few of us who can drink dairy milk without any drama. How’s that possible?

Well, here’s where it gets interesting. The ability to digest lactose as adults—also known as “lactase persistence”—isn’t evenly spread across the globe. Instead, it’s much more common in certain populations—specifically, those with a long history of dairying. Over 10,000 years ago, some humans began herding cows and drinking their milk, eventually triggering a genetic mutation that allowed them to keep producing lactase into adulthood. This trait is especially common in Northern Europe, for instance in Scandinavia and the Netherlands, where dairy farming has been a way of life for millennia.

It may sound weird, but essentially, some populations forced their own evolution by consuming a whole lot of dairy. That’s right. In a way, being able to chug a glass of milk without consequences is actually a genetic anomaly—one that we pretty much engineered ourselves over thousands of years.

The Dairy dilemma: why drink milk from cows? When you really stop and think about it, the need for this genetic mutation kind of makes sense—because, well, we’re not baby cows.

Just like human breast milk is designed to nourish human babies, cow’s milk is specifically made to take a tiny calf and turn it into a full-grown, 500-kilo cow—fast. It’s packed with nutrients meant to help calves double their birth weight in just a couple of months and pack on hundreds of kilos in their first year.

And yet, here we are, well past weaning age, still reaching for a glass of milk—and not just any milk, but milk from an entirely different species. Yeah… kinda weird, huh?

Wait… Do we even need Dairy milk? Remember those food pyramids we all grew up with—the ones that taught us that milk = calcium = strong bones? Well, here’s the interesting part: while we’ve been led to believe that dairy is the ultimate source of calcium, we can actually absorb up to twice as much calcium from leafy greens like kale and bok choy or from broccoli than from milk. Plus, other plant-based sources like firm tofu, fortified plant milks, and fortified juices have plenty of calcium, too.

And here’s the real kicker: more milk doesn’t always mean stronger bones. In fact, several recent studies suggest that high dairy consumption may actually increase the risk of fractures—especially in women. Who saw that coming?

Oh, and while we were all chugging milk to “build strong bones,” no one mentioned the extra ingredients tagging along—cholesterol, antibiotics, growth hormones… and who knows what else.

Some not-so-lovely side effects Alright, let’s get real for a moment. Dairy isn’t just a digestion bummer for many—it can be linked to serious health risks:

Heart Disease & High Cholesterol: Dairy is loaded with saturated fat, contributing to heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and even Alzheimer’s. Increased Cancer Risk: High dairy intake has been tied to higher risks of liver, breast, ovarian, and prostate cancers. Skin Woes: Acne, eczema, and premature aging can be unwelcome side effects of dairy consumption. Dairy has been marketed as a universal health food for decades, yet its consumption patterns have been shaped more by industry influence than genuine nutritional necessity. Lactose intolerance isn’t a niche issue—it’s a reminder that our dietary norms are far from one-size-fits-all.

Beyond lactose: The ripple effects of dairy But avoiding dairy isn’t just about avoiding an upset stomach—it’s about the planet and the animals, too. Dairy farming uses a staggering amount of water and land, and the industry is a huge contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. Not to mention, billions of cows suffer day in, day out, just so we can drink their milk.

And, while we’re at it, let’s bust a myth real quick. That comforting little story about how somehow, we’re “doing cows a favor” by milking them constantly—because otherwise, they’d explode or something? Well…that’s not exactly how it works. Like humans, cows don’t just produce milk on command. They only lactate after giving birth, and in the dairy industry, that’s usually after forcible artificial insemination. Mother and baby are separated almost immediately, and the male calves? They’re either sent to the veal industry or killed right away as surplus.

Cows aren’t built to be milked non-stop, and the constant milking can cause serious health problems, like mastitis (a painful udder infection), lameness, and other injuries.

So yeah—not exactly the family-friendly scenes you might imagine.

“Our mission goes beyond creating tasty alternatives—we’re envisioning a future where indulgence doesn’t come at the expense of animals or the planet.” The frischhain twist: animal-free, lactose-free, problem-free Let’s face it: traditional dairy has a lot of baggage. But breaking up with lactose doesn’t mean giving up on cheese*alternatives. That’s where we come in.

Our animal-free cheese is crafted without cows, using cutting-edge microfermentation to produce Koji protein—closely resembling traditional whey proteins. The result? Delicious cheese*alternatives that’s better for your tummy, your health, and the planet.

No more bloating. No more stomach aches. Just cheesy*alternative goodness—guilt-free.

What’s more, each pack of our cream cheese alternative Frischhain packs 10.9g of protein, saves 1.2kg of CO2 emissions, and uses far less water and land. If that’s not reason enough to give it a go, we’re not sure what is!

why cutting down on dairy is a win for everyone Look, even if you’re not lactose intolerant, switching to animal-free dairy has major perks:

Happy Digestion: Dairy-free options make digestion smoother and help prevent bloating, discomfort, and even energy crashes. Better Skin & Hormones: Going dairy-free can improve skin clarity, reduce inflammation, and balance hormones. Planet-Friendly: Ditching dairy helps reduce excessive water use, land destruction, and greenhouse gas emissions. It’s an easy way to reduce your carbon footprint. Cruelty-Free: Supporting dairy alternatives means less harm to animals, especially the billions of cows in factory farms the future of dairy: diverse, delicious, and dairy-free One of the most exciting aspects of shifting away from traditional dairy is the sheer diversity of alternatives. From fermented nut cheeses to innovative proteins made with micro fermentation, the industry is moving beyond simple substitutions and into entirely new taste and texture experiences. Lactose-free options have never been more delicious or more readily available. And the best part? They’re made for humans, not cows.

Our mission goes beyond creating tasty alternatives—we’re envisioning a future where indulgence doesn’t come at the expense of animals or the planet. So, whether you’re lactose-intolerant, eco-conscious, or just obsessed with really good cheesealternatives, why not give our cow-free cheesealternative a try? The future of dairy is here—and it’s deliciously dairy-free.

My Actifit Report Card: May 14 2025

After about two months of going easy, I finally got back to a light jog for 15 minutes. Hurt my knee then (and the hurt lingered), but happy to try again. Need to slowly strengthen now.

Writing about writing, that's what I'm doing today. A couple months in, trying to make writing on Nostr a regular part of my routine has been both interesting and enlightening. This Spatia Nostra blog started as passion project of unknown intention, beginning with an attempt to fill a glaring educational void... but creating these resources has also served as my own schooling. I've learned that everything works well sometimes but nothing works well all the time. Given that Nostr development, as a whole, is akin to stray cats herding chickens, in hopes that they will trample out 100 fires, this was not an unexpected experience. Beyond a few painful days when nothing would work, its actually gone smoother that I expected. The state of reading and writing tools is yet in major flux. Some are way behind but still work, others are in active development... which has its own set of pros and cons. I've read in notes, that the Primal team is currently riding their white stallions (across a beach, no less) to deliver the writing tools that save will save the day. There is no single solution to a multi-faceted problem, though, so writing is no different than search problems or spam problems, in that regard. I have no doubt that whatever they deliver will be functional and suitable for their readers and writers , but ultimately there needs to be many Nostr tools available for many different styles of author and many ways for readers to uptake their works. There might be value in sharing some of my insights, for anyone looking to write natively to Nostr or for anyone who may be building writing and reading related tools, so that is my aim here today. (With hope that most of this piece will become outdated sooner rather than later.) For the sake of not turning this into a multi-client review, because its already going to be really long, I will direct anyone who wants to dive right in to writing on Nostr here .

Where to begin:

Right now, there is no easy way to see which client was used to write a piece. There are exceptions, of course, and there are things I have not tried or cannot use due to my hardware, so I can't say that this rings true across the broader view of Nostr. If we assume that most people are introduced to Nostr through the microblogging/social media gateways, then they are likely introduced to longer Nostr content through their follow feed, either by a client that nicely displays these publications as standalone items or by authors and readers referencing a piece within a typical note (Kind 1, for all us Nostr nerds). As with the writing tools themselves, I know that support for advertising which client was used to create an event is rolling out with varying perceptions of its importance. In the interem, Nostr has the benefit of a wildly passionate user-base to fill these gaps. Oftentimes, the author themselves are willing to share which client was used to write a piece. If not, someone will almost surely be able and willing to answer. As the ecosystem grows, I imagine that it will suffer the same problem as every other human-occupied spaces... the more people there are, the less likely they are to talk to each other. Nostr makes it incredibly easy to reduce those types of negative social impacts, but I can still easily envision a situation in which the aspirational writer finds their calling from a piece written by a popular big-name writer, where the reply sections tend to become too noisy to find answers. To alleviate this, client tags are an obvious mitigation. I would love to see all major social/microblogging clients build in support for that one day, so that anyone new to Nostr can easily figure out where to begin.

Writing:

Oof, yeah... This is where things start to branch out into the wild and weird world that we all love so much. Prior to this 2-month stint ( which I have every intention of continuing), I had only written a couple of long notes, one wiki entry, and a few recipes. No hitches whatsoever. I have found now, that the more frequently I attempt to write, the more interesting problems I encounter... But sometimes it all works so silky, smoothly that it becomes a sensational, powerful experience where one can see just how much potential Nostr has to revolutionize the way we exchange information, with ourselves, our friends and the world.

When everything, or at least most things, are working well, its amazing. You can send yourself nostr events through messaging clients on mobile to access and reference from a web client later, with many of the different Nostr messaging apps. Not all messaging apps perform in the same way, so before you go confusing yourself, send a test message or two to see if your messaging app handles the 'note to self' concept in a way that makes sense to you. This might sound a little bit janky, but it's really just a simple way of creating notes for yourself. Having some quick thoughts that you don't want to lose while your on the go, so you can build upon them later, is another strong use aside from gathering reference materials. I like this method because nothing is so good at organizing my thoughts than my own brain. If you prefer to use a note taking app, there are some out there that have integrated Nostr features so that you can maintain your usual workflow while benefitting from Nostr's ubiquity. Once You have your basis, you know when its time to write. You have a few solid choices that all have the same basic functions, with a slightly different feel and interface, and slightly different additional features. You can find the one you like, bang out your thoughts, and use the others to tweak and adjust things. Because... Nostr, the reading side will always be somewhat variable, so you'll likely want to proof your own writing a few times, in a few clients, that you believe your readers will be using the most.

Everything Works!

For me, the amazing Nostr writing experience looks something like this:

I send myself some notes and thoughts on a multi-device messaging app. I visit my favorite publishing app for the majority of my writing because I like the thoughtful, quiet design. I can then jump to another and add tags, because I forgot to do that. It also has the best editing experience, so I can fix my damn typos while I'm there. Later on, I realize that maybe part of the revenue should go to the person who inspired my thoughts, so I visit a different client, initiate an edit, and add a revenue split to the post. Once I'm done, it looks amazing, and I want to check that it looks amazing in the places that I think my readers might see it, as well. I check through a few mobile social clients. Native display looks great, formatted neatly enough to call it a piece, with all referenced Nostr events displayed in pretty purple letters and linking to their naddr as intended. In posts that reference events, it links up great and takes me to a reading client intended to manage walls of text. Nice. All the while, I'm keeping in my mind that my work, should I or anyone else deem it worthy of longevity, is being stored across multiple relays, including my own rented relay (I should really set something up at home, I'll get there eventually). These thoughts are out there and they have the potential to stay there, wherever "there" may be. I don't have to worry about them being taken down or becoming unavailable because at least one of these many relays will be up and keeping my notes at any given moment, and the more my readers interact, the more sticky and distributed my work becomes. It'd be pretty rare for a controversial piece to come out of these fingertips, but its not impossible. I find a lot of peace in that, more predominately as the reader than the writer.

Nothing Works!

Unfortunately, this is not always the outcome of writing on Nostr regularly (Honestly, everything has its problems. This is not unique to Nostr). The more frequently you do something, the more likely you are to come across flaws and temporary issues or outages. So... the other side of this coin looks something like this:

I find a few things that I would like to reference in articles, I message them to myself. Unfortunately, the massages, though sent to myself, by myself, show up as recieved as sent by the authors of the notes I want to reference. Its not a big deal, I can sort that out but they easily become lost among all the other messages that I send and receive in between. It's a bit inconvenient but it still works. Thoughts to myself still work just fine. I sit down to write and my preferred client isn't recognizing my signing extension. Why? It worked yesterday. No matter, lets hop over to a different client, sign in, and ... nothing. Its recognizing my key but its not loading anything beyond an npub. Maybe its still working? I try writing... it looks like its working but upon publishing, nothing. No error, no loaders, my text just sits in the editor. Copy. Move to another client. Sign in, paste. adjust all the stuff because this one doesn't recognize the markdown links. I need to use their built-in tools for this (I know this from a previous day of some things working). Okay, this is great. Publish. At which point the text disappears and no note show up... hmm... its not connecting to any relays. I wish there was a way to check that before I had started. My clipboard is empty now because I wiped it clean while editing all the links. Hmm... One more try because I'm no quitter (to the point of detriment sometimes). Last try. Sign in, looks good. I half -ass rewrite my lost piece and attempt to publish and I am met with the infinite loading icon. I can't save my draft or publish. Smarter this time, I leave the text there, copy it to a local document, just in case, and quit for the day. The next day, I go back to this with a new client name I came across. It seems to work, its lacking some important features but that's ok. When the other editors are having better days, I can go back to edit tags and titles. Publish... Success! Or so I thought. I go around to do my checks, the event is no where to be found except in the client that was used to publish it. I copy the note ID from there and search around. Everything tells me: error, the event string is too short. I call it a wash. Over the next few days, the presence of that post comes and goes. Eventually it just stops showing up anywhere. Another new editor arrives, and once I figured out this stupid (me) signer issue that I was having, I republish that piece.

Things work, just not all at once...

Because of my own ignorance and because I think there is still value in interfacing with the outside-nostr world, for now I've opted keep publishing to both legacy web and Nostr. It acts as my fallback but also a little island of Nostr information. One day, I'll quit doing that but I'm not there yet. Nor are the tools that I would like to use in order to do so. That's okay, it's been incredible to witness the coordination amongst the chaos while the ecosystem gets fleshed out to something that can replace all of that. Everyday, I'm looking for ways to realistically help this process along and sometimes the best I can do is simply be willing to endure the mess while everything comes together. As I said at the beginning, this are just my insights and experiences. Most days are a happy middle between these two extremes. Writing on Nostr has huge potential to change the landscape of digital information and I will continue doing whatever the hell it is that at do so that it can be ready for the people who may really need it.

Reading...

Nah. Another day, maybe.

► AI Chatbots

• Note - It's never a good idea to upload personal / confidential files or info to any cloud AI, as many train on your questions and code. If you want privacy, its best to run bots yourself locally, and remember to use throwaway emails or aliasing if signing up for bots.
