No criticism intended, my friend. I know you were heavily involved in recent Damus updates. Time is the only thing more scarce than Bitcoin, and there's only so much of it that we can put toward the things we want to accomplish.

Already on it! This is pretty nice!
Is the QR code on the invite screen supposed to be scannable, or is that still a WIP? My phone didn't pick up that it was a QR code.
It's much better looking than the old onboardstr.vercel.app or nostr.do (now dead). It's also nice that it creates an ncryptsec, rather than bare nsec, for the new user that they can then import into a compatible client, or into Amber.
Obviously a lot of things that aren't up and running yet, but I like where this is going!

Given that these are intended to assist new users with onboarding, or existing users with finding people worth following, I'd imagine adding something into the onboarding flow that pulled in these follow sets would be the way to go, and adding in a "Discovery" page within the client where these follow sets can be found would be another.
I envision that if a new user knows someone on Nostr already, they could type in their NIP-05 during onboarding and be presented with follow sets created by that existing user and those within their web-of-trust. That would likely be more than enough to keep the new user from being too overwhelmed by options.
Meanwhile, a "Discovery" page within the client could allow the user to view ALL follow sets in a "global" feed, "popular" follow sets based on some standard of popularity (pagerank maybe?), or "network" follow sets created by those within the user's web-of-trust.

Obsidian has a plugin for publishing notes to Nostr as long-form, but not one for displaying notes that are already on Nostr within Obsidian that I am aware of.
The old version of Highligher was well on its way to being a great notes app, but that functionality has since been removed.
nostr:npub1ygzj9skr9val9yqxkf67yf9jshtyhvvl0x76jp5er09nsc0p3j6qr260k2 has built Comet.md, but this has similar functionality to the Obsidian plugin. It is a standalone note app that can publish notes as long-form. No ability to display notes that are on Nostr already by referencing an event ID.
Sounds like you've found something that needs to be built. I would certainly find it useful to have a notes app that could display kind 1 (short text notes), kind 1111 (comments), kind 20 (pictures), and kind 9802 (highlights) at minimum. Whether it is done as a plugin for an existing note app, such as Obsidian or Joplin, or built into Comet.md, or is an entirely separate app built for web like Highlighter used to be, I would love to see this come to fruition.

There is no rule that a relay has to keep notes for a specific amount of time. Likewise, you can request that a relay delete a note after a certain amount of time, but there is no way to force the relay to do so.
It is up to the relay operator to decide if/when they will prune old notes from their database.
The only relays that really might have an issue due to the volume of notes stored on them are large public relays. As outbox gains more adoption, there will be less need to post to such relays, and I think they will only store notes for a limited time, relying on users to archive the notes they deem worth keeping.

Is there a reason Amethyst couldn't send to the receiver's public inbox relays if they don't have a DM inbox relay set up? As outbox (hopefully) becomes more widely adopted, the likelihood that the receiver shares relays with the sender will get smaller over time.

Nope. Broadcast, in any client with the option, means you send the note to your write relays. They may or may not accept the note, as it is based on whether the original author is permitted to write to those relays.

It's mostly only noticeable to Primal users who have the trending feeds filled with notes that are using buzzbot to get engagement.
It essentially turns your post into a mini lottery and those who engaged with your post could end up winning sats. However, it just encourages low-signal engagement in order to get your post noticed. I'd much rather see posts that people engaged with because they cared to do so regardless of how many sats they might win.

Long-form, for one.

Signer events are a separate kind, but I don't expect those probably count. 😂
Image specific kind 20 is something I have used in the past. Would like to get back into posting photography there.

Well, there's Shopstr by nostr:npub16dhgpql60vmd4mnydjut87vla23a38j689jssaqlqqlzrtqtd0kqex0nkq. That's the one most folks are aware of. However, it relies heavily on NIP-17 DMs, which is the best DM standard we have right now. Unfortunately, there are a TON of users still on clients that don't support NIP-17 DMs at all, so they never see the message that they made a sale.
Amethyst has a marketplace that uses the same note kinds as Shopstr, and also relies on DMs for contacting the seller. Not sure if it is using NIP-17 for that or NIP-04. My hunch would be NIP-17, given that nostr:npub1gcxzte5zlkncx26j68ez60fzkvtkm9e0vrwdcvsjakxf9mu9qewqlfnj5z would like to remove NIP-04 entirely from Amethyst in the near future.
There is also cypher.space, which I haven't looked into much. It also uses the same event kinds as Shopstr and Amethyst. Not sure what it is using for communication between buyer and seller.
The last one I am aware of is nostr:npub1market6g3zl4mxwx5ugw56hfg0f7dy7jnnw8t380788mvdyrnwuqgep7hd, which was using a completely different type of marketplace spec than the others mentioned, but I believe they have or will be moving to the same one based on this article: https://plebeianmarket.substack.com/p/plebeian-updates-818
For reference, PlebianMarket was built on the NIP-15 spec that you can find here: https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/15.md
The other marketplaces all use NIP-99 as their basis, which you can find here: https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/99.md

Can definitely tell the audience these talks were intended for, and they probably wouldn't be what I recomment to send to "anyone" who needs to understand the difference between Bitcoin and crypto.
A couple really great concepts to wrap your mind around from them, though.
1. The miners arent creating new Bitcoin. They are buying Bitcoin from the network and paying with their hashes.
2. So long as Bitcoin can reliably enforce the 21m supply cap, everything else will lose to it, because money converges to one.

Bitaxe has its own firmware and dashboard UI, but is also very easy to manage.

I use Amethyst regularly, so I would be happy to answer any questions about anything you are trying to understand or get working on there. It is VERY different from Primal, but that is because it actually takes a decentralized and "Nostr native" approach.
Another great option on Android is Coracle.
The great thing is, Android gets all the best Nostr stuff, because you can install anything you want on your device, rather than having to get Apple's blessing like the poor folks over on iOS.
Since you are on Android, though, probably the next thing you should work on is getting Amber up and running, if you don't have it already. Amber is a signer application that allows you to use multiple Nostr apps without giving all of them your nsec. Instead, those apps just make a request to Amber any time they need something signed by your nsec. In fact, you won't be able to log into Coracle's Android app without something like Amber set up, because the dev for that client does not want to risk having access to your nsec and possibly leaking it.
I wrote a full review of Amber over on my site. You can find it here: https://www.nostr-reviews.com/post/1740708496659/
I will also be releasing a tutorial in the near future that will go over setting up Zapstore, Amber, Amethyst, Pokey, CoinOS, and Citrine, and why you might want to do so.

I have both a Bitaxe and an S9, so I can give you some insight here.
If you plan to use the heat generated by the S9, go that direction. If not, go with the Bitaxe. Yes, they are about the same price up-front, but the S9 is going to use WAY more power per TH than the Bitaxe. Efficiency is important, and it's why the Bitaxe doesn't cost 1/10 of the price of the S9, despite producing less than 1/10 of the hashrate.
An S9 can get you 13.5-14 TH of raw hashing power, but it's efficiency is only 0.1 joules per gigahash. Compare that to a Bitaxe Gamma, which is only about 1.2 TH, but does so at an efficiency of merely 0.01 joules per gigahash.
Then you have sound pollution to take into account when talking about home mining. The default fans on the S9 are LOUD. You will need to do something to mitigate that if you want to live peaceably with anyone else in your household. Even if you replace them with quieter fans, though, it's still pretty noticeably loud when running at full power. Most folks using S9s as space heaters are running them at half power, and they are not bad volume there, but then you are getting even worse efficiency and less overall hashrate.
Also, keep in mind that you probably aren't going to be profitable, even with a Bitaxe, unless you have really cheap power. Consider it a hobby and something you are doing to learn more about how Bitcoin works, and get some KYC sats at a bit of a premium cost. Of course, you might also go the lottery mining route, where you don't make any sats at all unless you are fortunate enough to find a block. That is always an option, too.

Have you tried out any clients other than Primal? Honestly, Primal is the most centralized way to engage with Nostr.
What mobile OS are you on? I can recommend a few good clients to try out.
We've barely scratched the surface of the "other stuff" Nostr can do. If you like to read, I would highly recommend checking out https://next-alexandria.gitcitadel.eu/

It's an extremely helpful feature that nostr:npub1gcxzte5zlkncx26j68ez60fzkvtkm9e0vrwdcvsjakxf9mu9qewqlfnj5z has unfortunately received a lot of flack for, because some have considered it "censorship." It's not perfect, by any means, but not having to manually kick every troll out of your feed because you can offload some of that to those you follow who have already muted and/or reported them is a major help in keeping your feed and your replies filled with things you actually want to see.

This is true, but I would still like to leverage my follows' judgement in this case. Without it being used to create my own list that lives on a relay, it would have to be something handled client-side that filters out posts from users who are often muted and/or reported by my follows.
I feel like how nostr:npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn has implemented web-of-trust filters that takes muting and reporting from my follows into account is a decent approach. I can then make it as aggressive or as lenient as I want it to be for filtering posts, and yet it isn't requiring me to add anyone to my mute list to achieve this.

It might be useful if it only recommended muting npubs that had been muted by a threshold of, say, 5+ of those you follow. That would weed out most random reasons folks might mute someone and leave only those who have been consistently muted. Could even have a user customizable threshold, if they feel 5+ is too aggressive.

Amethyst can do something like this, as I understand it.
If you turn on the option to "warn when posts have reports from your follows," amethyst will display a warning in place of a post when a threshold of those you follow have reported the author. You are free to dismiss the warning and view the post anyway.

I think npub.pro uses Ghost themes, but is not actually Ghost under the hood. nostr:npub1xdtducdnjerex88gkg2qk2atsdlqsyxqaag4h05jmcpyspqt30wscmntxy could clarify, though.
Also, nostr:npub1xdtducdnjerex88gkg2qk2atsdlqsyxqaag4h05jmcpyspqt30wscmntxy, is npub.pro something that could be self-hosted?

Going to be away for a long weekend and my power company has decided they need to do some maintenance that will shut my home power down for 5 hours smack in the middle of my trip...
Looks like my zapper is going to be down for a bit until I get home and get it all back up and running again. Will still be able to receive, since that's routed to nostr:npub1h2qfjpnxau9k7ja9qkf50043xfpfy8j5v60xsqryef64y44puwnq28w8ch, but my NWC connections to my node for sending will be MIA for sending.

It's kind of the opposite of peer-to-peer, actually. It's called onion routing because your connection from origin to destination and back is routed through multiple hops along the way, and each hop only knows where the request came from, and where it is going next, but doesn't know if either are the original origin or destination, or just another hop in the chain. Peer-to-peer would be where the origin and destination communicate with one another directly, with no servers in-between.
Each has different privacy tradeoffs.
Say you want to communicate with someone you trust, and you don't want anyone else to have any ability to see what you are saying. Well then, encrypted peer-to-peer is a pretty good option.
If you don't really trust who you are communicating with, and don't want them connecting to you directly such that they would see your IP etc, then Tor is the better option.

Yeah, and they can totally do DNS blocks against whatever relays they see the anti-government speech occurring on. For that use-case, folks would probably want to use Tor relays anyway.

@ b7274d28:c99628cb
2025-04-23 02:43:59
It's feasible, particularly with how reliant we currently are on DNS. If we no longer needed traditional DNS to connect to relays, that would help make Nostr much harder to take down. However, DNS has the advantage of human-readable addressing for relays. If someone asks, "Which relay should I use?" I can tell them "Nostr.wine is a good paid relay," thanks to using DNS. If we went to an onion routing system or something similar, it would be more like, "buhqfhqa7t351qjkfdba863245hqkk44978afbfaakjgwe.onion is a good one to try out."
In the end, though, I think they won't bother with trying to go after relays unless they are a haven for something the government can readily paint as undeserving of free-speech protections. This is why I think relay implementations need to have robust moderation tools so operators can clean out any CSAM.

I understand you do not intend to respond any further, and that is fine. However, I do feel it is necessary to point out a few things, which you may or may not read later.
"I am not complaining... I said I didn't like the UI."
In what definition of "complain" is saying you don't like something not a complaint about it? To complain is defined as "To express dissatisfaction." In the following statements, you clearly expressed dissatisfaction, and therefore it was well within the scope of the term to characterize you as "complaining":
"I don't like the interface."
"It's confusing to me."
"It isn't intuitive."
"Fix it. It needs improvement."
You state that you offered a suggestion. The only suggestion I can see is "make it more intuitive" and "fix it." There are absolutely zero substantive suggestions that point at anything specific about HOW it is unintuitive, let alone anything helpful suggesting HOW it could be improved. Just a bare statement that it is unintuitive, and it should be fixed.
That gives the dev absolutely nothing to go on for what should be changed.
Given the above, if you can't add anything valuable that could actually assist with improving the client, you probably are wise to bow out of the conversation now.

@ b7274d28:c99628cb
2025-04-22 22:15:27
Sorry, but no. You are the one complaining that a client isn't intuitive without providing anything specific or productive that you are finding unintuitive. The onus is on YOU to provide constructive feedback about what specific things you would like to see change, why they posed a problem for you, and why you think others would find them to be a similar challenge.
How about you go ahead and make the video showing how following what you would intuitively do doesn't result in what you would expect, or leaves you stuck, and tag nostr:npub1syjmjy0dp62dhccq3g97fr87tngvpvzey08llyt6ul58m2zqpzps9wf6wl? That would be far more helpful.

When you go to Jumble.social and log in, you have two main columns and some options in a sidebar. The left main column is mostly blank, with a heading encouraging you to "Choose a Relay," and the right column shows a list of random relays to choose from. Is there something particularly unintuitive about that?
Additionally, if you click on "Choose a Relay" you can choose to look at a "Following" feed or your "Bookmarks." Again, those seem pretty self-explanatory.
So I am sorry, but "it isn't intuitive" doesn't really help me understand what specifically you are finding unintuitive.
Now, if you want to see the Lockbox relay in particular, as I had suggested, it might not be immediately apparent how to do so. But then, Cody's not going to put "Hey, if you want to see a feed of what's on Lockbox, click here," on the front page of his client. Lockbox is just one of thousands of relays that someone might want to use.
What tool do you suppose one would intuitively use when they want to find something specific? Probably search, right? What happens when we search for lockbox? We are presented with the option to search for notes, tags, or relays that match that search criteria. The relay's information and feed shows up in the right column, with the option to add the relay as a favorite in the top right, indicated by a star icon.
So far, everything I have mentioned seems pretty intuitive to me.
Please point out specifically what is not intuitive, and even better, some suggestions about what could be changed to make it more intuitive.

"I don't know where to begin... Fix it," without anything specific that should be improved or any constructive suggestion about how it should be improved, is not going to get any results.
Cody is very patient and willing to hear out substantive critiques of his client, and has implemented several suggestions I and others have made, but that is because we offered specific details about what we struggled with, why it was cumbersome or confusing, and offered constructive ideas about how it could be different.
"It" (referring to the client as a whole) "isn't intuitive enough," isn't a help to anyone and isn't going to result in better clients available for everyone.

If you haven't tried wss://lockbox.fiatjaf.com on Jumble, it's a really intriguing idea.
Normally your feed is made up of only notes from users you are following. Lockbox flips this on its head. The feed is made up of only notes from users who are following you. If you post a note to lockbox, only those who you follow can see it.
nostr:npub1wzt7ynrxssfv8gktqhr2czezw9pv3d5yl556yk247pmjw9ucrgsqw8jn3m I think you in particular would be interested in utilizing this feature, if I remember correctly.

Where are you getting that number? I wouldn't be too surprised if it is accurate, but nostr.watch had closer to an total of 1200 reachable relays. However, I imagine there are a lot of unreachable relays out there, too. Everyone running Citrine on their phone is technically running a relay, even if it is only accessible to them. That could easily push the number of active relays well above 3000.

Offering a discount is not required to drive Bitcoin sales, I agree with that. Those who want to see Bitcoin used as money will gladly pay full-price in sats.
That said, I think it is a powerful way that Bitcoin accepting merchants can signal that they value the Bitcoin more than they value fiat. Another way would be to just charge more for fiat transactions, rather than a discount for Bitcoin.
