Complicating factor around bitcoin is that its three main properties being, censorship resistance, immutability and doublespend protection are emergent and not inherrent properties; they all rely on mass human action (be that diversity in miners, sheer amount of mining and running nodes/local verification respectively).
Bitcoin relies on circular reasoning: we find it valuable because of its properties; it has these properties because people take these actions; people take these actions because they find it valuable; repeat.

well, time to go either back or forth again, because you are wrong.
But the response needs an article i notice.
TLDR for article not yet written:
>You have: Things(events), People(Npubs), Places(relays).
>''To Nostr'', on the read side, is to query, and you can play around with the specification surrounding things, people and places in that query depending on what it is you looking for/want.
>But you will always have to specify either people or location at least to avoid spam.
> When specifying authors/npubs, what relays should be automated/outbox.
> When specifying location, user has to have awareness of places/relays to begin with.
>> people being aware of location/relay is NOT an issue, people understand websites just fine for example, all they need is an intuition for the new paradigm.
@npub1era…skz0 does it best. Clients (all clients, from a read perspective) are just renderboxes for queries (or spells). A ''feed'' is just a spell that is being cast. Performing the spell should obviously be automated, but constructing the spell should be something most users CAN do, or at least understand. The nice things about queries/spells/feeds, is that they can be exchanged.
Relay feeds are just a simple type of spell, so are follow feeds; either being location or people based respectively.

Their pricing indeed never covered the costs, so the subsidy given to the users only makes sense if they can get those users locked into their platform, such that they can later leverage that platform lock-in. Without that, users are just burning antropics money and just walk away whenever its convenient.

The trust minimization of servers, the two global namespaces for users on the one hand (public keys) and content on the other (hashes) on the other, together with a tiny bit of convention tying all those things together creates a substrate for interoperability that apparently has no theoretical limit to the extend it can be implemented in our logical/administrative/communication systems.
Insofar we will, or perhaps should, remains to be seen.

All of this is a setup to where you have to go to those bureaucrats as well to get permission for your app to check it applies to the UI/UX regulations that they have decided upon. Meta is not being regulated into oblivion, it is being regulated into position.

2026-02-16 18:09:44 CET

- reply

The point is that bureaucrats are going to platforms, forcing their decisions on them which is subsequently what you get. So they forced platforms to provide a reverse chronological feed of the people you follow? How fucking lame is that, how about giving users actual freedom to determine for themselves whatever their preference or desire might be.

I actually disagree that knowing that a reference is made, simply by ''nostr:'', is an unrealistic expectation. Its both a very simple, and very powerful skill/piece of knowledge. I am sure that in the eternal UI battle strides can be made, but the insight is worth sharing regardless.

I agree it is not always clear, but worst case you can always do i manually, its simply ''nostr:[whatever its is you are referencing, so could be nprofile, npub, nevent etc.]''

I am atleast slightly annoyed you reference a nostr event with a url instead of a 'nostr:reference' :).
Try the other button 'copy note ID' instead of 'copy note link' next time when. The first is for use inside of Nostr, the other is used outside of Nostr ;)

2026-02-15 15:00:36 CET

A lot of the problems is due to the fact we allowed the network effect to be captured by centralized platforms, which subsequently keeps us hostage. Thats what i mean with the architecture being primary, and the incentives flowing out of that.
Just an example, of the long list of issues, is the fact that you need to install an app that requires full access to every part of your phone including a signature written in blood giving up the soul of your first born. Nobody WANTS to agree to those term, we just got ourselves into a position we HAVE to agree.
In a Nostr world, such an app would have a lot more issues getting traction, because you have countless alternatives that leave the soul of your first born alone.

cool. I suggest that in a week, you try a different client/app. Don't know what you are using now, but i would recommend using a remote signer, makes using various clients a lot easier (primal is one of the apps that has such a remote signer build in).
Good luck finding and connecting with your people and engaging with your kind of stuff.

it can operate/control a machine/computer, so it can actually execute tasks.
So for example, i put a fresh OS install on a laptop, put openclaw on it, said its task its to aid me in writing my book and gathering all my material that is online. It made a list of software it needs, such as a youtube downloader, transcribe software etc. Went out to scrape all my nostr posts/articles/videos, i gave it all the youtube links of the podcast appearences ive done. I also gave it all the drafts and voicenotes i already made. And now all of it is neatly archived, transscribed and I can spar with it.
All by just simply chatting with it.

again, there is no ''here'', those images load slow because they are hosted on shitty, probably free (so no blame here), servers.
Think of the Nostr-app as your browser and you go from website to website? Yeah its like that, but all the websites agreed on this standard for profiles/''accounts'' and content formats and your browser automatically goes to the websites of the people you follow without you even noticing; so when you scroll, you think you are scrolling in a place, that you are ''here'', but instead you are actually going all over the place.....unless its a relay-feed, then it is one place.

include a default relay-feed for new users, instead bugging them with follows they never really asked for and probably don't want so they have to change that manually later...or see nothing at all.

Hey @npub1lun…27lj love satellite, but i dont like the new content ''my files'' interface. The old one was way way better. If i were to guess the new one is more mobile friendly? Well, it sucks as a desktop user atleast; less tiles (only 2 tiles wide), no longer the credit info on that page, stuff like that. Things did not work, and i only now find out i was out of credits (not sure thats actually true, i thought i had more, but it whatever thats all fine you can have the money eitherway).
All and all its currently not a nice place/interface to manage my content :/

Hey Moron!
Decided to check up on you, i'm the guy that replied to your initial youtube video; as you might imagine watching that first video of you installing Snort and Spring, instead of picking either Primal, Amethyst of Yakihonne from that list of apps was tragic haha. Glad to see you made your way to primal and managed to get going
Thank you also for documenting the process you are going through installing the app, and giving this type of feedback, its very helpful to my understanding how newcomers experience all this stuff.
My response:
How do I get this across....Lets say two things are true at the same time:
First, its not a platform, Primal is not a platform, Nostr is not a platform...relays can act as platforms, perhaps, but you have to realize you are arguing against the ephemeral clouds here. Its not much different than saying that there is too much bitcoin content on the internet, that there are too many bitcoin websites etc. Its silly because Nostr is not ''a space'', not a platform like i mentioned, its a system facilitating freedom of association in all kinds of different ways (tweets, pictures, videos, chatgroups, livestreaming, code creation, recipes, apps, games, all the various things people use the web for).
Bitcoiners just happen to be the initial community adopting Nostr, and tweets the first type of usecase, so it is dominant among al dozen Nostr users out there; yet other non-bitcoin people and stuff is out there, perhaps a bit harder to dig up due to circumstance. Same things goes for any ''way of posting'', but as you already mentioned you will just stick with your way, and that is the precise correct attitude; we don't share 'a space' here, there is infinite interoperable space for everything to just exist next to each other.
Second (and true at the same time); I understand that as a new user, with 0 intuition what on earth it even is what you entered, everything is just very ''de facto''. There is this app, Primal, and thats ''the thing'', and the onboarding facilitated by that app is ''the thing'', and the people you initially see using that app, is ''the thing''. That fact this notion that there even is a ''thing'' is a mirage of your own imagination, is of no value/concern to you, because you are ''user'' with ''user experience'' and ''user expectations'' from ''the thing''; and if any of it is not to your liking you will simply move on to another ''thing''.
I recognize all of this, but this is a concern for the app developers/Primal on how to cater to you as a ''user'', but there are also so many different apps, so perhaps ''you'' (the general you, not perhaps you specifically) are simply not using the ''right app for you''.
Me personally? My concern is elsewhere. Im the crew that will call you a moron from not instantly understanding the new paradigm you stumbled into( 😜) , and won't let you rest easy in comfortable misconceptions and misunderstanding. Il guide you to a new intuition on this new paradigm, such that you can confidently navigate on your own. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
PS: On using other apps: thats what that ''remote login'' feature in Primal
is for, to log into other apps without having to transfer your keys, try it out!
PPS: Funny that @nprofile…9369 and you found each other. You both made a youtube video around the same time on how you started looking at Nostr, and i contacted you both to get you guys up to speed, and it seems you 2 are both doing just fine so im very proud :)

They indeed dont think, they develop intuitions.
Anyway, my experience (been explaining Nostr to various audiences for a while now) is simply different.

Oh hey, hi, hello.
So...if any of you could just go ahead and update the remote signing spec with a little flag that tells the client that the signer is taking care of publishing the event, so we can have a class of bunkers that also does publication to relays next to the current type of signers that don't....
And then if y'all could just update to the new spec, that would be great.
Ok thnx, bye.
But no, seriously, what would make more sense?
Trying to update the existing standard?
Introduce a new standard that is 99.99% the same as the existing one?
Force the existing standard to change eventually by just be a ''bad'' actor as a signer by simply throwing back error codes to the client instead of signed events, so things do actually work but the experience is just ugly?
