What if @npub1era…skz0 type spells, and follow-lists were the same thing?
Is not the ''main'' follow-list just ''all the things from this list of people'', which you can translate into a nak query thingy? and subsequently you can add specifiers on things, making lists distinct; the definition of the list, is the query.
i.e. ''what type of list is this?''
"Oh, its a list that looks at the recipe-kinds of the people listed on these particular relays''
''that is what that list is, how nice that i understand, and that we did not have to set up some committee to define all the possible list types, because we can express all possible list types via query/defining npub, kind and relay''
Its not nicely indexed, but the Clients would also know what to look for based on kind specifications in the query , and could also choose to modify them (like remove unrelated kinds).

They are, but there is no need for us to all be at the same one;
Be it here, or there, we recognize each-others identities and data-formats and the query language with those servers is the same. This means we can use interoperable interfaces (clients), and because on the internet, time and space collapsed; with the same ease with which the entire world can visit the same location, they could also just visit the place where they need to be at that particular moment.
Websites+RSS is really close to Nostr. At some point i had my RSS setup with all the newssites and what-not, but the rest of the internet decided to move in a different direction, time to steer is back

- reply

You almost had it, but i think you still missed a crucial insight.
First let me just note that the whole 'dumb server' thing just relates to the handfull of query commands ensuring interoperability between every client and every relay. The expectation always was that relays would leverage the powerposition they are in (i.e. accepting events, and under what condition, retaining events, and under what condution, handing over events and under what condition).
Second, and for my actual point: you mentioned that email centralized noting the reputation system. And THATS where the difference is. Its not just your ability to exit a server/relay, but the fact that insofar people are interested in you/npubs, the reputation of the relay does not matter at all. A relay could host the most terrible gore, spam and filth or whatever, and outboxing clients would still just fetch your nice catpicture posts, ignoring the crap just fine.
Ergo, the reputation friction is not on the relay level, but on the user level. Good outbox implementations exist and as a result the relay, as such, does not matter (ofcourse things like latency, consistency, etc still do)

#asknostr
Is someone working/has anyone worked on a Nostr-''onedrive''?
I.e. take my local files, turn them into blossomblobs, create a Nostr event with all the relevant meta-data surrounding the file, such that i can go and fetch my stuff on other systems, and share files with others?
I vaguely recall stuff like this

2026-03-02 10:52:54 CET

Obvious path is obvious;
Ideas a being floated, bills are proposed and laws are being signed to force age verification on the OS level. Once you go the top-down permissioned route for safety the final stage is everyone ending up in a cage to account for all variables.
This is the reason i am working on TEPP, to provide parents permissionless tools to create permissioned environments for their children (or agents/bots).
Nostr keys at the OS level would be great, not just for this stuff, and TEPP would fit nicely; but it also means i just have to enter my keys/bunkerlink into the OS, and it can initialize with all my apps, settings and files right then and there.

in order to reference a Nostr event (or a user for that matter), use: ''nostr:[eventID, or npub, or nevent, or nprofile, whatever string here]''.
Now that you know how to do things manually, you dont actually have to. You simple selected the wrong option inside primal. You picked ''copy note link'', which gives you a url you can use outside of Nostr. You should have actually selected ''copy note ID'', it automatically adds the ''nostr:'' part for you and would have resulted in this:

I recognize this, but when it thinks an idea is stupid, it will tell you so. Unfortunately this does not help much, because it probably only does so with obvious things and is also probably wrong about it often.
One problem is confirmation bias, it will just find all sorts of papers and articles to support its reasoning, which is nice but on its own proofs nothing, im sure every position has some academic article associated to it.
Another issue i have found is due to its stupid bias to agree with you, it will start out telling you what a great idea something is, to further on describing all sorts of things which if you think about it would undermine the idea but it never picks up on that.
Just use it as a fancy google to find relevant articles.

One of the cool yet wonky things about Nostr is how depending on what it is you are doing, location/server/relay matters or does not matter, and sometimes sort of at the same time.
Let look at the current web. Lets say there is a news article about a new type of fruit that is discovered in the jungle somewhere. People share the link (or screenshots but there is a special place in hell for screenshot-of-news-articles-posters so lets ignore those for a second) in all sorts of places, be that in the comment section of the news site itself, on the-X-platform, on subreddits, forums, discord channels, telegram groups etc. A conversations about this new fruit happen all over the internet, among different groups of people. Biologists talk about it from their perspective, Chefs speculate on new recipes, environmentalists worried humanity will cut down the jungle in search for more of this fruit, Allergy-support-groups depressed that there is another thing they will probably miss out on....and so forth.
All these conversations are public, but isolated on their own servers, enjoying their own moderation to enforce and align with their preferred context (Biologists talking about biology, Chefs talking about cooking etc.). With Nostr, you can throw out a query looking for anything that replied to that particular news article. Normally the result will be twitter-like, giving you all sorts of individuals with their comments and branching threads.
But if you happen to include the relays where these ''contextualized conversations'' are happening, you can get those as well. All the sudden, you don't just get access to how individuals view a thing like this news article, but how different groups talk about it as well.
What makes this possible is that even-through this stuff is on separate relays, just like all of this is on separate servers today, that's the only thing that separates these posts; the profiles/ID's/''''accounts''''', that are used, as well as the underlying data-structure constituting the conversation and for good measure the interface with all these different relays, are all complying with the open protocol, and whatever app can be used to interface with it. In the legacy web, things are not just separated by location/server, but by different account types, data-types, and above all apps as a result.
Now i am not the UI/UX-for-the-normies-guy, and let those that are figure out what is a sensible way of displaying all of this, but to think you can shove ''Nostr'' as such under the rug as to hide it is a dead end. Lean into it, start to leverage all the possibilities that Nostr provides as a reason for people to understand.

I'd propose to do all of these via musig2 signed events between the parties involved;
This way the event can scale to more than 2 easily, other than coordination, which was kinda the point of the ''signal'' that the event is designed to give anyway; the ability and willingness to coordinate.
I would say the analogue would be ''friends'' as a phenomena we know from the legacy web.

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.

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.

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.

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.

If you go along with my suggestion of rephrasing it in terms of architecture (first order) instead of "incentive structure"(being its subsequent second order), we are in agreement, yes.

2026-02-13 14:58:29 CET

Parents are worried, to the point they call for ''bans'' of ''social media''. Politicians, likewise clueless, are more than happy to go along in this sentiment.
The reason i say clueless is that they don't know what they are saying/proposing for two reasons:
First, the internet itself was military technology conceived for the purposes of keeping communication channels alive under pressure. Calling for a ''ban'' in that context is silly, given the whole point of the internet is to withstand such things. And for good reason, the Internet's censorship resistance gives the communication infrastructure that practically every facet of our society relies on, the resilience not to fall down with the first sign of trouble. If the internet were not as resilient, it would be wholly irresponsible to rely on it as much as we do.
Second, the Internet's open nature is essential to facilitate the values of liberty that most of us understand to be critical to our lives. The fact that permission is not a requirement for just everyday things lowering the friction in those mundane dealings; but also exactly for those aspects that are highly sensitive and form the desperately needed checks on power.
As a Dutchman i recognize that free speech, free association, free thought and free press are values that are at the core of my country's existence; values the Americans for example took to heart and subsequently codified as primary in their constitution, after they established themselves under the same premise my country once claimed its independence as the first modern Republic.
Calling for a ''ban'', can only result in one of two things.
Either it will be messy and ultimately pointless given the censorship resistant nature of the internet itself, leaving the proponents of the ban to expected dissatisfaction.
Or worse, that dissatisfaction will target the open internet itself, and will see in it the justification to impose totalitarianism of imposing permission of the State into all of those aspects of our lives the current internet touches.
I understand the grievances and worries at the basis of the current outcry for a solution. They see the impact of the other side of that openness, the dark that can come along with the good that liberty provides. It is imperative we communicate two things very explicitly to these people:
1: We understand that there are problems, we agree that they are problems, and we can find ways to mitigate these problems; your call for attention is justified.
2: Be VERY CAREFUL in what it is you demand, because the moment those demands go into the direction of bans, you will soon find yourself siding with tyranny, at which point you become my mortal enemy; i trust that not to be your intent.

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.

Yeah, well, its mostly for demo purposes we'd need a list of people, its not some production level thing anyway

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 :/

Not sure the timing; but i'd think the best route for this would be to get some opensource course + handbook in place, created by a bunch of nostriches. While we are at it, might as well make a nip for courses, and a simple client.
Subsequently when that is in place, devs have a 'go-to' place to get familiar with Nostr, and we establish jargon, dev-conventions etc. that are in line with Nostr.
After that commercial actors can come in and offer training, courses, certification etc.
My point is, first you need to have some foundation on which the trainers can be trained, and the coursemakers can make their courses.

2025 was a good year in terms of development, the normalization of outbox and nip17-dm's come to mind. Perhaps not universalized but still.
For me Grimoire is a big deal, @npub107j…ncxg delivered an excellent power-user/dev client...if you have that set up the way you want, anything outside of the Nostr paradigm must feel frustratingly outdated. Combine that with the spellbooks, and im sure you can convince any sys-admin out there in 5 minutes to become a Nostr acolyte. The git stuff, the continued development around blossom...
I know most people are focused on the general social media use(case/r), but having worked for a large system integrator a couple of years, and seeing how much sense Nostr makes in the context of general IT infra, i really wonder how far along THAT corner is. (a prerequisite is courses and certification though, because thats how that world operates).
All we have to do it keep at it, having conviction for Nostr is so damn easy, lol.

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.
Ps. Im not a dev (although i probably could have been so wont make a point out of it)

Ive had this idea of embedding signers into statues and other landmarks such that if you are in range (be that nfc, or bluetooth), the landmark would musig2 cooperatively sign events with you, so those events are dedicated to that location (the resulting npub would be 'you at that location').
You could do something similar with a radio-system with longer range (lora's bandwidth is really fucking limited, but perhaps for chat it works).
Now the point of my innitial idea was that the landmark-embedded signer only needed power and no internet connection, so i guess assuming the location-based thing has internet,there are indeed other ways of doing it, like sharing a list or whatever.
