nostr There's really no need to convince anyone when you know how compelling the protocol is. Just build. #nostr #cashu… Tim Bouma May 26, 2024, 10:51 AM
nostr I got #nostr wallet connect all working. Now zapping like a daemon!… Tim Bouma May 22, 2024, 4:51 PM
nostr I think “Nostr Integrated” has far more potential. I am experimenting using #nostr relays for a push notification service and backend api orchestration.… Tim Bouma May 3, 2024, 1:19 PM
bitcoin This is still my absolute favourite ‘architecture’ diagram. I remember when I saw this for the first time over a decade ago. It blew me away. As with #bitcoin, we are building #nostr using the lower diagram. Building for #privacy is harder, but at least it’s not someone else’ Tim Bouma May 3, 2024, 11:37 AM
nostr @Edward Snowden is calling for privacy at the protocol level. With #nostr I think we have a pretty good start on privacy by baking freedom into the core protocol (NIP-01)… Tim Bouma May 3, 2024, 11:22 AM
nostr Yup. The nice thing about these discussions on #nostr is that they are technical and nobody is trying to appeal to an amorphous moral authority.… Tim Bouma May 2, 2024, 12:02 PM
nostr Very cool! The way I understand the NIP is that an encrypted channel is set up having its own initiator and destination public keys (and private keys) known only to the exchanging parties. The keys can’t be correlated to parties, nor correlate send events with receive events. #nostr FTW! Tim Bouma Apr 30, 2024, 11:46 AM
nostr I believe the ‘killer capability’ (versus feature) for #nostr is the ability to create a trusted internet identifier that can be used to pay me, message me, and which I can sign and post things that others can verify that it’s actually me. I also believe that NIP-05… Tim Bouma Apr 28, 2024, 12:14 PM
nostr On Twitter, instead of taking notes in items that caught my interest, I used to retweet so others could get a sense of what I was paying attention to. There was never any intention of endorsement or agreement on what I was retweeting, just something that I flagged. I stopped… Tim Bouma Apr 27, 2024, 12:22 PM
nostr Curious if anyone here on #nostr follows this pundit from the banking mainstream?… Tim Bouma Apr 25, 2024, 11:30 AM
nostr Once you see it in the #nostr protocol you can't unsee it: SIGNED MESSAGES RELAYED!!!… Tim Bouma Apr 24, 2024, 2:58 AM
nostr A potential killer use case for #nostr is replacing all those stupid insecure SMS one-time code messages with nostr encrypted dms.… Tim Bouma Apr 23, 2024, 11:16 PM
nostr Elon is trying to make a business of it. That’s what Twitter really is. We learned a lot what we are looking for as a society and I am hoping we can do that with #nostr… Tim Bouma Apr 18, 2024, 3:37 PM
nostr I think about this a lot: we have to be careful not to let the rules of the old system dictate the requirements of the new system. This reminds of a question asked of a British general in the early days of the Great War - what was necessary to win… Tim Bouma Apr 15, 2024, 2:15 PM
nostr If you’re looking for a good Canadian yarn and mystery, follow Tom Thomson who tweets in real time until his disappearance on July 8, 1917. This account was on Twitter for more than a decade before Elon took over. I moved the historical real-time feed to #nostr For… Tim Bouma Apr 10, 2024, 3:52 PM
