Last Notes npub19jvs7ry26263w3l6h4hst46t0fsukcmyhhmmshh8rsavfqd95xnsa5guks Mafrend Today I presented the whole idea about Mafrend vision to @npub1s0v…rmq5, one guy told it's impossible to build it, "being too many things at once" - which I don't doubt, but I responded that "We should aim to the stars, and even we don't make it there at least we could be a planet." saying about maps. npub19jvs7ry26263w3l6h4hst46t0fsukcmyhhmmshh8rsavfqd95xnsa5guks Mafrend Email is the result, the transfer protocol for emails is SMTP, (IMAP for access). So you can compare Email with Event from Nostr since both are the "payload", but Nostr itself can be compared only with SMTP since both are protocols. An analogy I used often as well. npub19jvs7ry26263w3l6h4hst46t0fsukcmyhhmmshh8rsavfqd95xnsa5guks Mafrend You can create an AI agent tool set with Skills, Emulators, etc npub19jvs7ry26263w3l6h4hst46t0fsukcmyhhmmshh8rsavfqd95xnsa5guks Mafrend Google Maps is a social network between people and locations on the map :) People there share photos, text reviews and give stars to places. npub19jvs7ry26263w3l6h4hst46t0fsukcmyhhmmshh8rsavfqd95xnsa5guks Mafrend Love it, piece by piece, let's start with Google Maps. npub19jvs7ry26263w3l6h4hst46t0fsukcmyhhmmshh8rsavfqd95xnsa5guks Mafrend These app reviews.. npub19jvs7ry26263w3l6h4hst46t0fsukcmyhhmmshh8rsavfqd95xnsa5guks Mafrend I remember telling you similar ideas, but who knows what apps humans need in the end, maybe I was wrong and they need non, tired of everything npub19jvs7ry26263w3l6h4hst46t0fsukcmyhhmmshh8rsavfqd95xnsa5guks Mafrend Could you compile it into Kotlin Multiplatform, like the Rust Nostr SDK library did - using the UniFFI? You would target all mobile devices then, and apps like Amerhist. npub19jvs7ry26263w3l6h4hst46t0fsukcmyhhmmshh8rsavfqd95xnsa5guks Mafrend Have you heard this idea "Make every address on the globe a chat room" ? That's where my inspiration came from for my next app, every point of interest on the map (venue/business/spot/etc) has a dedicated public chat for conversations. https://image.nostr.build/bc2be288b1061d2d648133d971b65072e36c8fe6bf4f671257c88b699861508a.jpg npub19jvs7ry26263w3l6h4hst46t0fsukcmyhhmmshh8rsavfqd95xnsa5guks Mafrend What to do if at beginning is one number, but it changed in long term? npub19jvs7ry26263w3l6h4hst46t0fsukcmyhhmmshh8rsavfqd95xnsa5guks Mafrend My advisor told me I should never go beyond 51%, then the rest of 49% I should share with co-founders and leave room for potential Investors. Your approach is more balanced, I needed to consider it, thanks for sharing. npub19jvs7ry26263w3l6h4hst46t0fsukcmyhhmmshh8rsavfqd95xnsa5guks Mafrend How should a founder fairly share the company equity between his co-founders? #asknostr npub19jvs7ry26263w3l6h4hst46t0fsukcmyhhmmshh8rsavfqd95xnsa5guks Mafrend How to delegate your Nostr account to someone without sharing the private key ? #asknostr npub19jvs7ry26263w3l6h4hst46t0fsukcmyhhmmshh8rsavfqd95xnsa5guks Mafrend What "-VM" stands for in your name ? For me it associates with Virtual Machine npub19jvs7ry26263w3l6h4hst46t0fsukcmyhhmmshh8rsavfqd95xnsa5guks Mafrend I only took a quick look at BitChat internals, so I don’t know it that well yet. To me it looks mostly like a terminology difference, not something fundamental. If you would sync and use the same event formats (kind, tags etc), then you could most probably pull each other’s events and vice versa. Anyway, I’m pretty excited to keep working on Mafrend. Should be fun once it’s out there 👍 npub19jvs7ry26263w3l6h4hst46t0fsukcmyhhmmshh8rsavfqd95xnsa5guks Mafrend You use geohashes as chat rooms, similar how bitchat does npub19jvs7ry26263w3l6h4hst46t0fsukcmyhhmmshh8rsavfqd95xnsa5guks Mafrend Any developers in the Nostr community working with maps, OpenStreetMap data, or MapLibre? I’d love to connect and learn what you’re building. npub19jvs7ry26263w3l6h4hst46t0fsukcmyhhmmshh8rsavfqd95xnsa5guks Mafrend Test comment npub19jvs7ry26263w3l6h4hst46t0fsukcmyhhmmshh8rsavfqd95xnsa5guks Mafrend Oh nice! At least one Relay on JVM that I know. Do you support all special kind rules like correctly handling the replaceable events, deletion requests events, metadata events etc? npub19jvs7ry26263w3l6h4hst46t0fsukcmyhhmmshh8rsavfqd95xnsa5guks Mafrend Looks nice, I need this feature, was thinking about it as well, I'm glad to see someone implemented it. npub19jvs7ry26263w3l6h4hst46t0fsukcmyhhmmshh8rsavfqd95xnsa5guks Mafrend I can't see the videos, why? https://image.nostr.build/ab88835d3ad9b6d0432d7e38f163613512c4444a2072d2688e6acf2e94c2b6c8.jpg npub19jvs7ry26263w3l6h4hst46t0fsukcmyhhmmshh8rsavfqd95xnsa5guks Mafrend I use maplibre-compose: https://github.com/maplibre/maplibre-compose I'm not sure the lib you developed will work for me. npub19jvs7ry26263w3l6h4hst46t0fsukcmyhhmmshh8rsavfqd95xnsa5guks Mafrend I use OpenFreeMap tiles, can they be ported to blossom ? Also as I know blossom is not free, somebody has to pay for it right? npub19jvs7ry26263w3l6h4hst46t0fsukcmyhhmmshh8rsavfqd95xnsa5guks Mafrend How do you think these blossom powered map tiles will be integrated into Nostr apps? npub19jvs7ry26263w3l6h4hst46t0fsukcmyhhmmshh8rsavfqd95xnsa5guks Mafrend What are you building? npub19jvs7ry26263w3l6h4hst46t0fsukcmyhhmmshh8rsavfqd95xnsa5guks Mafrend I don't see much involvement in this project so far, do you think OpenSats should not renew the grants for it? npub19jvs7ry26263w3l6h4hst46t0fsukcmyhhmmshh8rsavfqd95xnsa5guks Mafrend Like AirBnb ? I was thinking to make it as a side service in my app. But it's a lot of time until I get there. npub19jvs7ry26263w3l6h4hst46t0fsukcmyhhmmshh8rsavfqd95xnsa5guks Mafrend If internet falls they are covered npub19jvs7ry26263w3l6h4hst46t0fsukcmyhhmmshh8rsavfqd95xnsa5guks Mafrend Someone could copy it npub19jvs7ry26263w3l6h4hst46t0fsukcmyhhmmshh8rsavfqd95xnsa5guks Mafrend My favorites clients for Nostr are: iOS: YakiHonne Web: Nostria npub19jvs7ry26263w3l6h4hst46t0fsukcmyhhmmshh8rsavfqd95xnsa5guks Mafrend Do you feel safe by owning an open-source project ? I was thinking to make Mafrend open-source, but idk.. npub19jvs7ry26263w3l6h4hst46t0fsukcmyhhmmshh8rsavfqd95xnsa5guks Mafrend GM 😂 npub19jvs7ry26263w3l6h4hst46t0fsukcmyhhmmshh8rsavfqd95xnsa5guks Mafrend Never was interested by those emails, I just read posts all over Nostr and Threads, information is flying all around. npub19jvs7ry26263w3l6h4hst46t0fsukcmyhhmmshh8rsavfqd95xnsa5guks Mafrend I would prefer Nostr articles over Medium, but there are not so many of them, the ecosystem of topics is not so rich yet. Also I wanted to mention that Nostr is shadowed by BlueSky and Mastodon. For example SaaS products (let’s say AI social content generators) would often include the last two but they don’t know about Nostr. What could be the causes? Nostr positioning? Lack of user apps? How many BlueSky or Mastodon derived apps do you know? Everyone knows what Gmail, ProtonMail, YahooMail mean, but not everybody has heard about SMTP. I don’t know the causes, just wrote some food-for-brain, just to think on. npub19jvs7ry26263w3l6h4hst46t0fsukcmyhhmmshh8rsavfqd95xnsa5guks Mafrend I started to use your lib Rust Nostr Kotlin SDK - so far it's working without any bugs. Thank you for the lib, great job! npub19jvs7ry26263w3l6h4hst46t0fsukcmyhhmmshh8rsavfqd95xnsa5guks Mafrend GM npub19jvs7ry26263w3l6h4hst46t0fsukcmyhhmmshh8rsavfqd95xnsa5guks Mafrend But honestly, probably trying to guess the future, I would feel like doctor stranger in the battle for eternity episode npub19jvs7ry26263w3l6h4hst46t0fsukcmyhhmmshh8rsavfqd95xnsa5guks Mafrend I would ask: "What would I do with this power?" npub19jvs7ry26263w3l6h4hst46t0fsukcmyhhmmshh8rsavfqd95xnsa5guks Mafrend Did you build it ? You move fast npub19jvs7ry26263w3l6h4hst46t0fsukcmyhhmmshh8rsavfqd95xnsa5guks Mafrend I need more context, who asked, what text is around it, the conversation in details npub19jvs7ry26263w3l6h4hst46t0fsukcmyhhmmshh8rsavfqd95xnsa5guks Mafrend It's a coincidence, but I work in the roaming industry. Our company handles more than 50% of all global traffic, and your operator could be our customer. I could research how they managed to keep the rates so low, just out of personal interest npub19jvs7ry26263w3l6h4hst46t0fsukcmyhhmmshh8rsavfqd95xnsa5guks Mafrend I'm building a map, I can put it on my future map if you want to. I want each location on my map to be a Nostr account/entity, so you can be the boss there and accept payments directly. npub19jvs7ry26263w3l6h4hst46t0fsukcmyhhmmshh8rsavfqd95xnsa5guks Mafrend I don’t understand this statement. I would say these are two separate ideas, and their hypes are concurrents. Some people around me say: “Don’t rush into this AI hype to build something - it might end up like the Bitcoin hype that faded after COVID.” (The idea back then was to replace XDR currency with Bitcoin/crypto at a company that receives many payments from around the world, but it never gained traction and eventually evaporated after COVID.) The AI hype replaced the crypto hype. npub19jvs7ry26263w3l6h4hst46t0fsukcmyhhmmshh8rsavfqd95xnsa5guks Mafrend What operator do you use if it's not a secret ? npub19jvs7ry26263w3l6h4hst46t0fsukcmyhhmmshh8rsavfqd95xnsa5guks Mafrend GM! npub19jvs7ry26263w3l6h4hst46t0fsukcmyhhmmshh8rsavfqd95xnsa5guks Mafrend I feel that npub19jvs7ry26263w3l6h4hst46t0fsukcmyhhmmshh8rsavfqd95xnsa5guks Mafrend GM to you too. npub19jvs7ry26263w3l6h4hst46t0fsukcmyhhmmshh8rsavfqd95xnsa5guks Mafrend GM and GoodDay, wherever you are. https://image.nostr.build/a30280a92412c4bf85a89f8c31b0f182fe4d900d73c3953cf6df167f30ffe8cd.jpg https://image.nostr.build/d126411546b222bcc77bded12b1dcb203de78fb5cf02495cd9a82ada68d586a2.jpg https://image.nostr.build/2b1b49746acf65e69bef7aca2703e89ce87fdf425a158ab0d34ba2f983cd8ee2.jpg npub19jvs7ry26263w3l6h4hst46t0fsukcmyhhmmshh8rsavfqd95xnsa5guks Mafrend Glad to see it working npub19jvs7ry26263w3l6h4hst46t0fsukcmyhhmmshh8rsavfqd95xnsa5guks Mafrend Bitcoin was created as a decentralized, peer-to-peer electronic cash system that allows people to transfer value over the internet without intermediaries npub19jvs7ry26263w3l6h4hst46t0fsukcmyhhmmshh8rsavfqd95xnsa5guks Mafrend True 👇 #nevent1q…4kfq npub19jvs7ry26263w3l6h4hst46t0fsukcmyhhmmshh8rsavfqd95xnsa5guks Mafrend Looking to connect with bussiness owners while developing my application. If you have restaurants, and I have a social nostr app based on Maps, how can I put these restaurants on the map and make you the administrator there and enable reservations, order processing and payments right from the app? If it sounds interesting send me a DM - let's work on this together npub19jvs7ry26263w3l6h4hst46t0fsukcmyhhmmshh8rsavfqd95xnsa5guks Mafrend Great to see kotlin multiplatform in action. It is relatively easy to add a jvm-desktop target if you have android target in place. iOS is a bigger challenge. npub19jvs7ry26263w3l6h4hst46t0fsukcmyhhmmshh8rsavfqd95xnsa5guks Mafrend That’s interesting npub19jvs7ry26263w3l6h4hst46t0fsukcmyhhmmshh8rsavfqd95xnsa5guks Mafrend I guess it relates to your office job as well npub19jvs7ry26263w3l6h4hst46t0fsukcmyhhmmshh8rsavfqd95xnsa5guks Mafrend GM https://image.nostr.build/706b4e81175061426b670217cc08839e677b64c1c591bba59f01e12cd87560b6.jpg npub19jvs7ry26263w3l6h4hst46t0fsukcmyhhmmshh8rsavfqd95xnsa5guks Mafrend For a minute I thought I’m using Reddit, the MapPorn community - then I remembered I’m actually on Nostr! Nice content 🤘 npub19jvs7ry26263w3l6h4hst46t0fsukcmyhhmmshh8rsavfqd95xnsa5guks Mafrend It’s scary that whatever I post on Nostr is uneditable, sometimes undelitable 😳 What if I make a typo - and the whole world will know? npub19jvs7ry26263w3l6h4hst46t0fsukcmyhhmmshh8rsavfqd95xnsa5guks Mafrend DNS enters into the chat - he knows both TCP and UDP jokes, and tells them to everyone, some people get them - some people don’t npub19jvs7ry26263w3l6h4hst46t0fsukcmyhhmmshh8rsavfqd95xnsa5guks Mafrend I’m surprised, I sent you a TCP joke - and I’m sure you got it. Don’t play around with your UDP jokes - you can’t be sure anyone gets them. npub19jvs7ry26263w3l6h4hst46t0fsukcmyhhmmshh8rsavfqd95xnsa5guks Mafrend I’m quite new to Nostr, and quite old to Kotlin, thanks npub19jvs7ry26263w3l6h4hst46t0fsukcmyhhmmshh8rsavfqd95xnsa5guks Mafrend Try this combo: https://github.com/SciProgCentre/kmath Kotlin Notebooks Kotlin DataFrame Multik Kandy npub19jvs7ry26263w3l6h4hst46t0fsukcmyhhmmshh8rsavfqd95xnsa5guks Mafrend А какой результат? (Не видно весь thread) npub19jvs7ry26263w3l6h4hst46t0fsukcmyhhmmshh8rsavfqd95xnsa5guks Mafrend To the soil itself - usually not; Moldova is located on the chernozem belt of Europe: https://image.nostr.build/b060e1176da49f92ea0d77e57d72eb08141b19a868431c4a811addd119abd04c.jpg npub19jvs7ry26263w3l6h4hst46t0fsukcmyhhmmshh8rsavfqd95xnsa5guks Mafrend Well, never done that, but in my home country Moldova - we have pretty good wine as well, in every village people do wine at home, and the grapes grow without fertilisers (natural / chemical). I hope you have a good harvest npub19jvs7ry26263w3l6h4hst46t0fsukcmyhhmmshh8rsavfqd95xnsa5guks Mafrend Are there any statistics of how many people from Europe use Nostr ? #asknostr npub19jvs7ry26263w3l6h4hst46t0fsukcmyhhmmshh8rsavfqd95xnsa5guks Mafrend Zapstore is like Apple Store? A market place for apps where you can pay with zaps if the app is not free? That’s crazy, the ecosystem is evolving fast. Waiting for iOS apps to be supported, somehow, at least desktop. npub19jvs7ry26263w3l6h4hst46t0fsukcmyhhmmshh8rsavfqd95xnsa5guks Mafrend The social benefit is good: Plug an app to Nostr and that app has an instant audience pool; The kind that Threads has because of Instagram. This is the thing what attracted me to be here, studying Nostr. But I realised that nobody would use AskNostr over Reddit, if it’s slower, or if the search algorithm is not there; Yes it’s cool to build something, but you have to be in love with the problem rather than with its solution - many app developers fall into that trap npub19jvs7ry26263w3l6h4hst46t0fsukcmyhhmmshh8rsavfqd95xnsa5guks Mafrend Ok but now Imagine that I’m on Reddit, and to find a question I’m interested in - I should go to Quora and search there a question published on Reddit npub19jvs7ry26263w3l6h4hst46t0fsukcmyhhmmshh8rsavfqd95xnsa5guks Mafrend Can I search for questions on AskNostr ? #asknostr npub19jvs7ry26263w3l6h4hst46t0fsukcmyhhmmshh8rsavfqd95xnsa5guks Mafrend I have a problem with mold - it’s driving me crazy npub19jvs7ry26263w3l6h4hst46t0fsukcmyhhmmshh8rsavfqd95xnsa5guks Mafrend I like these tiles, but personally I use a customised version of OpenFreeMaps: https://mafrend.com/map/ npub19jvs7ry26263w3l6h4hst46t0fsukcmyhhmmshh8rsavfqd95xnsa5guks Mafrend How about Google Maps to be replaced ? It’s kind of social network between people and places on the map, and is centralised as well. #note18h0…6pfy npub19jvs7ry26263w3l6h4hst46t0fsukcmyhhmmshh8rsavfqd95xnsa5guks Mafrend How about Google Maps to be replaced ? It’s kind of social network between people and places on the map, and is centralised as well. npub19jvs7ry26263w3l6h4hst46t0fsukcmyhhmmshh8rsavfqd95xnsa5guks Mafrend Wow that’s beautiful, somewhere in Latin America? npub19jvs7ry26263w3l6h4hst46t0fsukcmyhhmmshh8rsavfqd95xnsa5guks Mafrend Cool cool Messaging is still OK npub19jvs7ry26263w3l6h4hst46t0fsukcmyhhmmshh8rsavfqd95xnsa5guks Mafrend I have a dehumidifier npub19jvs7ry26263w3l6h4hst46t0fsukcmyhhmmshh8rsavfqd95xnsa5guks Mafrend It's resilient npub19jvs7ry26263w3l6h4hst46t0fsukcmyhhmmshh8rsavfqd95xnsa5guks Mafrend Well, Good morning to you too npub19jvs7ry26263w3l6h4hst46t0fsukcmyhhmmshh8rsavfqd95xnsa5guks Mafrend At this point I’m afraid to ask, but what is GM? npub19jvs7ry26263w3l6h4hst46t0fsukcmyhhmmshh8rsavfqd95xnsa5guks Mafrend There is no video for a reason https://image.nostr.build/05c143282d245fa28af3ea30c24f5ad35026841f3eee711541b1f26e2ac96693.jpg npub19jvs7ry26263w3l6h4hst46t0fsukcmyhhmmshh8rsavfqd95xnsa5guks Mafrend If I want to transform any OSM (Open Street Map) location (point of interest/poi) to a group chat on Nostr (and use it as a feature most appropriate to Google Map reviews) - what NIP should I use, or how to design a suitable one? npub19jvs7ry26263w3l6h4hst46t0fsukcmyhhmmshh8rsavfqd95xnsa5guks Mafrend I know that if you buy a big part of their stock then you have a word on the table. Depends on the company type/rules I don’t know. As soon as you are part of the board you can influence the company decisions: - put wrong project managers to lead the project as example npub19jvs7ry26263w3l6h4hst46t0fsukcmyhhmmshh8rsavfqd95xnsa5guks Mafrend How can I check my calendar in YakiHonne ? npub19jvs7ry26263w3l6h4hst46t0fsukcmyhhmmshh8rsavfqd95xnsa5guks Mafrend It’s Very bad that Alby doesn’t have an IOS client. npub19jvs7ry26263w3l6h4hst46t0fsukcmyhhmmshh8rsavfqd95xnsa5guks Mafrend But what we see today? - Crypto is not the default method of payment in the internet. - Crypto is used widely in trading. - Some offline shops accept crypto as means of payment. - Everyone feel that there was a big hype before COVID, but after -> the AI hype started to dominate, leaving blockchain in shadow. What is wanted for the future? npub19jvs7ry26263w3l6h4hst46t0fsukcmyhhmmshh8rsavfqd95xnsa5guks Mafrend I still figure it out how a GrapeRank algorithm can be used to calculate a trust score 🤔 npub19jvs7ry26263w3l6h4hst46t0fsukcmyhhmmshh8rsavfqd95xnsa5guks Mafrend I have to read it when I have more time npub19jvs7ry26263w3l6h4hst46t0fsukcmyhhmmshh8rsavfqd95xnsa5guks Mafrend I had the same “wow” thought when found out about Graph Databases in the context of social networks. Neo4j has vector similarity search on nodes, if it is powered to a AI RAG system we can generate nice information, content, recommendations (but not overuse it like instagram or tiktok do, since nostr doesn’t want to be like them). Also the relationship “feature” between tables is upgraded on whole new level in Graph Databases compared with traditional sql databases like Oracle where you have to do joins on a middle table to achieve same thing. npub19jvs7ry26263w3l6h4hst46t0fsukcmyhhmmshh8rsavfqd95xnsa5guks Mafrend If you remove the content propagation based on smart algorithms then you have to provide to the users something else in return otherwise they will not be motivated to use your app. Instagram back in the days showed only posts from followers, then they saw that this strategy is not engaging users to use the app properly and some “good” content doesn’t arrive to you simply because you don’t follow someone. Then they invented this smart feed based on things you like. I don’t think smart algorithms are generally bad, it depends how you use them. I don’t want my feed to be full of memes to spike my dopamine level and take all my attention because I simply like them, but maybe I would like some services or content that I specifically search for to be more accessible. Another point I wanted to make is that TikTok by my opinion was created by a government to promote different political views and get huge money from it, wins the one with more money. It was created with a specific goal, and clear business model. It’s a big business but Nostr has to find its own way how to play in this game if wanted. I don’t know about #Rumble, it’s first time I hear about them, if you want you can share more about it npub19jvs7ry26263w3l6h4hst46t0fsukcmyhhmmshh8rsavfqd95xnsa5guks Mafrend The truth probably lies somewhere in the middle, but I think modern social networks like Instagram and TikTok were primarily designed to capture and direct your attention — to make you focus on what those in control want you to see. TikTok, in particular, represents the next generation of algorithm-driven content distribution, and it’s often used as a tool to promote certain political narratives. Governments spend massive amounts on TikTok advertising during elections — at least, that’s the case in my home country. What I’m getting at is this: TikTok operates within powerful investment and influence networks. So where does Nostr fit into this picture? Do we even want a platform that captures user attention in the same way? And if we do, how should we approach it? npub19jvs7ry26263w3l6h4hst46t0fsukcmyhhmmshh8rsavfqd95xnsa5guks Mafrend I think 3 months is enough only for MVP npub19jvs7ry26263w3l6h4hst46t0fsukcmyhhmmshh8rsavfqd95xnsa5guks Mafrend I feel the same npub19jvs7ry26263w3l6h4hst46t0fsukcmyhhmmshh8rsavfqd95xnsa5guks Mafrend Why you don’t post the location, would be nice to check this place npub19jvs7ry26263w3l6h4hst46t0fsukcmyhhmmshh8rsavfqd95xnsa5guks Mafrend In order to compete with other players in the social networks and messengers arena a powerful search engine is a must, especially in the era of AI. Reddit has a very good search engine, Telegram as well, Google made a living on it back in time etc npub19jvs7ry26263w3l6h4hst46t0fsukcmyhhmmshh8rsavfqd95xnsa5guks Mafrend https://image.nostr.build/654b1b304619106a3abc7d510d809f30184137bfd74c97c014f72711a863b7f6.jpg Feel the vibe of Switzerland 🇨🇭🌄 #TravelVibes #SwissAdventure #FeelTheVibe npub19jvs7ry26263w3l6h4hst46t0fsukcmyhhmmshh8rsavfqd95xnsa5guks Mafrend Hey, thanks!
