Nostrbuild does not allow any private/encrypted file. So, it will never work.

AI should be able to assemble a Linux distro for each user from a base. Package managers should be web-of-trust-based. No more central lists anywhere.

The server needs to accept a content type called application/octet-stream which basically means anything binary.

2026-08-29 18:44:54 CEST

- reply

Make sure the server does accept and doesn't delete encrypted blobs. The server will not be able to see the content, which is usually not ready or not received well by relays.

It is Google. But it is also all local. And no, the translations are super light already. We could add a setting to disable it, but nothing will change.
You can try the Fdroid version that doesn't even have the translation dependencies. Both use the same amount of battery.

2026-08-29 01:03:54 CEST

Yep, but Concord messages are sent to a different relay than the nip 17 inbox. The nip17 relay is just for nip 17, not for all gift wraps.

Maybe the default is simple and people can activate "new features"?

2026-08-29 00:57:48 CEST

What do you mean? Concord uses a different way of addressing the giftwraps than nip 17. They basically do not interfere with each other.

We are no longer an OpenSats grantee. it ended a couple months ago.

Sure, but we need protocols for each one of them. We used to have just simple addresses for Bitcoin as well and nobody ever used them because it is too disconnected of an experience. Zaps and NWC were the things that made Bitcoin explode on nostr. Just addresses would have never reached the level that it reached with btc. We actually tried.
You can't have an explosion in usage without any investment in the protocol to make things exciting for users. It won't just magically be used if all you do is to just list the address in the profile page.

Which protocol should we use to manage the wallet? None of our wallets are ours, we are just calling other apps or services. The UI is the easy part. Do Montero wallets have something like Nostr Wallet Connect?

Hum.. I wonder what it is... If you create a new account on a new version of Amethyst and follow all your follows (you can import follows form another account when setting up), would that be fast enough on 1.14? If it is, then we still need to work on the concord/nip17 DMs performance. If not, there there is something else going on. 🤔

2026-08-24 02:48:11 CEST

Who wants to build a nostr bot for amethyst that I can connect with a claude max and the bot will discuss, make your feature and open a PR all through Nostr?
Ideally over NIP-17 DMs to make things easier.
I just can't use those expensive APIs (unless you want to pay for it as well - thank you if so)...

2026-08-24 02:42:54 CEST

- reply

Interesting.. well, 1.14 does have some performance improvemetns for both concord and NIP-17 for those exact problems. Have you tried? It's supposed to load faster.
I have been using Corcord just with the SoapBox cchannels, so not as heavy, but I can try to join more to see what happens.

2026-08-24 02:35:18 CEST

2026-08-24 02:27:59 CEST

Why does this feature bother you so much? I don't get it.. All clients already display them. No, nobody is losing anything.

2026-08-24 01:20:34 CEST

Message to all other nostr devs, Amethyst now replies all kind 1s with NIP-22 comments instead of NIP-10.
Most clients already display them correctly so there is no change to any of you. We are starting the migration process of the writing side.
The point is to keep kind 1 for root posts as much as possible and minimize wasting mobile data when assembling the home feed.

There are versions of NIP 17 that use alias keys (other npubs) as the receive address for DMs for those looking at the extra privacy. But all of them make the interoperability between clients 10x harder, since we don't have a time chain to lock the lastest alias key each user in the chat group is using. Unfortunately, there is no good solution for it in any protocol without a central server or a central blockchain.
