Those numbers make sense. On twitter I follow up towards 1000 people and even then sometimes content in my follows (not fyp) can seem stale. Nostr is quite stale. Content is better on the fediverse even (bigger numbers & differentiated ). I like nostr because I like the tech and philosophy that the tech brings. People are chill. I'm not even into crypto much at all. So being part of the problem I'll have to address is posting more content other than my news bots lol. I'm working on a project which I plan to use nostr as the identity layer for and would hate to see it drop off the face of the earth.

Trailing n month window, whatever is sustainable. Most of my usage is weighted towards the more recent. Perhaps volunteers can pull off a fixed amount that fall outside that window (fixed so they know how much it'll cost etc). Then users want historical search for that time they can be pointed that way. Not clean but maybe doable.

So I write to the outbox, people use that to read my notes. I read notes tagged with me on the inbox? The reason why this confuses me is I have my own personal array which seems to never show my notes as above.

Working on DVM this weekend. Attempting to create a usable algo. Quite difficult but seems fun so far. Back testing is shaky but I need a way to replace "time spent" and other client centric interactions. If anyone has links to prior work that'll be great. #asknostr #dvm #dev

Brilliant work!
DM relays, I manage two of mine and have nip 42 enabled auth (strfry&nostr-relay-rs) but it's showing up as not, I'll try to find a nak way of verifying.
If it could add an explainer or best practices for inbox/outbox so I could finally understand which one is read/write 😭

2026-03-14 10:52:39 CET

Sounds very cool. Especially the duplication with different outer envelope plus ongoing verification.
I have a few servers for the rest of the month at least so give me a shout if you need additional hardware (storage for demo etc).
Was working on a DVM yesterday for personalized for you page functionality (WIP ofc), so maybe crossing wires here due to familiarity but I wonder if they could be combined with blossom. Events can be encrypted, payment can be required, feedback may be useful:
"Service providers can give feedback about a job back to the customer."
- Customer publishes a job request (e.g. kind:5000 speech-to-text).
- Service Providers MAY submit kind:7000 job-feedback events (e.g. payment-required, processing, error, etc.).
- Upon completion, the service provider publishes the result of the job with a kind:6000 job-result event.
- At any point, if there is an amount pending to be paid as instructed by the service provider, the user can pay the included bolt11 or zap the job result event the service provider has sent to the user.

How many agents are you usually working with? I have only ever used the latest Claude sonnet and chatgpt models. Claude seems to attempt to one shot everything, usually successfully, a tip I use is to ask it to reflect and give itself feedback. Chatgpt constantly asks questions, overly clarifying things too much at times but decent code too. I sometimes forget the other has finished and feel bad for leaving it out 😭

I need someone to help beta test an npub email forwarder.
1) Will need your npub.
2) I can send the email or you can (prefer you do).
This will be an email to [your npub] AT dontyou DOT click
3) Finally, confirm receipt or not of gift wrapped DM.
Can communicate here via DM or WhiteNoise
This exists already, original idea by @nprofile…2n6q 🙌

Nice one!
Is there much chatter on the anonymity aspects of nostr? Ofc downsides of decentralization is that servers can be controlled by malicious parties (expected e.g. hotlinking image assets to servers I control to IP dox people)

Bingo plus training data. I can sit in my pajamas and scrape millions of repos/issue trackers/discussions/specs/books (prior to a cut off date - call it the AI epoch lol). All that work and time spent is recorded in text. Can't think of any other role like that, so first to marketbfor software agents is obviously so much quicker vs robots. Plus robots will be liable for physical injury to other things and humans, but are subjected to being easily stolen/injured etc. Waymo on fire! A clean data center no physical body or movement vs physical body in a messy unpredictable city.

2026-03-10 12:00:05 CET

- reply

Depends, I just think it'll change the median role. perhaps it'll be more as a soft architect and reviewer. Remember there always needs to be someone liable e.g. to blame, and I don't think Anthropic or OpenAI care to assume that role. So it'll likely morph into a "software orchestrator" role. Not writing code but in control of what is executed and liable for it.

Somewhat related question, beyond technical, more idealistic. I watched the demo a while back, got me thinking what would the internet look like with this capability. I'm a bit biased with nostr of course but I love to idea of using sites, accessing currently pay walled content (video, articles) in a drive by non committal manner. What do you for see?

When using opencode it displays a dollar sign which you look at after each change. I initially was like oh wow a dollar for that and realized that'd be a few hours work minimum. Now it's fun having a dollar amount to hobby goals achieved. I've since moved to using Claude CLI for now which hooks into my plan and doesn't have a nice dollar sign for cost 😭

Keep it in mind that I need to lurk and learn more.
I know there are chat room communities on here but I like the idea of a "cul de sac" chat server where the relay does auth/signals without any actual chat content going through relays once connection is established to the separate server. All text, voice chat, video streaming handled by nostr ambivalent software (chat server just uses it for identity, reputation, profle metadata). More generalized explaination: nostr identity giving access to compute.
The front end would be like discord, many chat serverd, content sent to user can be in any format as it's outside of nostr.

UI:
Text input for writing posts - I find when deleting words the cursor shifts the word back and removing the space before it. I seen this on amethyst too. the blinking cursor is also black on a black background which makes it hard to see. capitalization does not work as in this sentence.
Adding relays - autocorrect is enabled here which means when I add a relay and type "wss" it autocorrects to "was". besides this, do we need to specify the protocol I the first place and just assume it's always wss?
Image preview jutter - whenever a link preview is loading, it'll show the text first and then load the image after, when the image is loaded it expands which causes a stutter in the UI. Usually I'm scrolling past them which makes it very noticeable. Perhaps add a "filler" space and assume it's gonna be fixed width and height and let the image load after.
Cache user profile names and avatars - assume that these don't change as much and aren't that large in byte size, perhaps more caching of those beyond lru? "On disk" even?
Text box warning triangle - the triangle below this post, I do not know what it does and I'm afraid to tap it lol

I want to learn HPC. The idea of having all cores and cpu lanes purring makes me happy. Inspired by firedancer [1]. Take a look at the header files e.g. tango, where explanations are.

Android is Trust On First Use (TOFU). Obtanium allows you to share to AppVerifier on first install to verify it. From then on you dont have to worry as it'll only update if the signature is the same. Word of warning, AppVerifier only contains a small amount of signatures stored in itsinternally db [1]. Often a dev will include their signature on github and then you can paste that in to AppVerifier to double check.
