nostr Every event in the history of #nostr is potentially zappable.… Tim Bouma Sep 12, 2024, 11:23 PM
The sooner we can get off the existing mobile OS platforms, the better. That is why I am so obsessed to prove the concept of a 'digital wallet' that can exist independently of app/os/device.… Tim Bouma Sep 12, 2024, 5:58 PM
Perhaps we need the concept of blinded applications and blinded grants? The idea is that you put in a blinded application with no expectation of any feedback, other than anonymous funds being sent your address, if the application is of merit. While an inference could be made that the funds… Tim Bouma Sep 12, 2024, 3:22 PM
Bitcoin separates money from politics. Ecash separates money from ego.… Tim Bouma Sep 12, 2024, 12:23 PM
nostr Does anyone else see what I see? This is supposedly the latest and greatest by the Cloud Signature Consortium, but I see a major problem is they are still combining signatures with web of trust and this combining is a single point of failure. As I mentioned in my earlier… Tim Bouma Sep 12, 2024, 12:10 PM
nostr 30 years ago, Mosaic made it easy to read stuff on the internet. Today, #nostr now makes it easy to trust stuff on the internet. Why? Back in the day, the browser separated content from presentation, and the content containers (i.e., websites) were open by default with hyperlinks. Fast… Tim Bouma Sep 12, 2024, 11:39 AM
nostr 30 years ago, Netscape Network Navigator was released. It was considered a toy, alongside AOL and Compuserve, but made the internet open and easy to use. Same vibe for #nostr today. We are so early.… Tim Bouma Sep 12, 2024, 10:50 AM
nostr NOSTR SAFEBOX FUNDING PAGE IS LIVE!!! We are live, folks! A @Geyser fund page has been set up to accept payments for the #nostr #safebox project. The very first contribution came from an anonymous safebox (well, that was me testing...) I am working on this project regardless of the funding. Tim Bouma Sep 11, 2024, 7:10 PM
opsec This just hit the street. Should be of interest to #opsec folks on how the cops, or any state agent for that matter, investigates using technology.… Tim Bouma Sep 11, 2024, 6:05 PM
nostr #Nostr is at an absolutely crucial moment. We need to get the core of the protocol stabilized before the investors swoop in and try to capture it for their own commercial interests and state purposes. I’ve seen this rodeo before with the early internet. Government (except for defence and… Tim Bouma Sep 11, 2024, 1:17 PM
nostr I remember that big adrenaline rush I got over 30 years ago when I could ping almost every domain name in the world. Now, I am getting the same adrenaline rush when I can zap almost every nostr event in existence. This is such a big underrated deal on how… Tim Bouma Sep 11, 2024, 12:11 PM
Amethyst Doing zap testing - everything shows fine on #Amethyst but no zaps showing on #Damus or #Primal. Any clues? I've been fiddling with relays, zap.army etc, but no success so far. @Vitor Pamplona @miljan @jb55… Tim Bouma Sep 11, 2024, 12:01 PM
