So with nip29 you create a group at a single relay and then anybody who joins that group will only send events for that group to the relay it belong to?

I think one of the most important features of github is the "star" count on a repo. Combined with the last commit date, I can tell in a quick glance if a piece of software is actually maintained or if I'll be SOL if there's a bug. There's probably a way to replicate just that part with nostr and then it wouldn't matter where the code is hosted

They are clearly dominating in the space, but that P/E ratio is still priced for a lot more growth. Eventually it won’t hit the numbers investors want.

Is anybody aware of a nostr client that doesn’t connect your phone to multiple relays but instead connects to a server (preferably self hostable) which maintains connections to your desired relays and caches the notes you are interested in. I think this would be faster and save battery life. I thought about trying to implement this as a modified relay but the problem is that if you remove all but one relay in an existing client I’m pretty sure the client will broadcast those changes to your relay list. So I would have to use a modified client and relay

v4v is cool but corporations are willing to pay more for a skilled developers time. It then becomes hard to justify putting in the hours for such a small reward. This might not be the case if you have a large social media presence and can get eyes on your work and people to promote you. Most developers don’t have this. There’s a lot of passion in this space so it kinda works but you are still missing out on the majority of the talent pool with that model.

It says this in the NIP “The zap receipt MAY contain a preimage tag to match against the payment hash of the bolt11 invoice. This isn't really a payment proof, there is no real way to prove that the invoice is real or has been paid. You are trusting the author of the zap receipt for the legitimacy of the payment.
The zap receipt is not a proof of payment, all it proves is that some nostr user fetched an invoice. The existence of the zap receipt implies the invoice as paid, but it could be a lie given a rogue implementation.”

2023-04-26 15:55:32 CEST

- reply

The way zaps works is when you send a lightning payment to the server there is a nostr bot account on that server that publishes a zap receipt event that says how much was zapped. Nothing is stopping that server from saying there was a zap that actually didn’t happen or lying about the amount.

Security recommendations to not run containers as root are outdated now that it’s relatively easy to run the docker daemon in rootless mode.
