Last Notes npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant you know what IS easy? npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant you can do a crude fee estimation if you know the blocksize and have the coinbase tx, and i dunno, look at the last 5 blocks, dont even know if you can ask for that type of data from peers directly but that that point you might as well ask mempool.space on the feerate and be done with it. npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant p2p syncing of the headerchain using a table for the 2016block intervals is very fast anyway. and yeah its not even 80mb at the moment. The only problem is with web-apps, thats a bit more clunky, but mempool.space has an API where you can get the header you need based of the height in 2 calls (first you get the headerhash back, and with that you can get the header), so that also works; can't verify the difficulty(as in how high it is) that way, but the internal consistency atleast (PoW in the header hash etc). npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant 10 years drawing triangles.....oofff npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Stuff every Nostr app should already have because of OTS mind you npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant But i am not your son though, so....what feelings do you have? npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant The AI almost got this right. npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant did i sleep? no npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Boy/girl-bands are a good example of a construct "Sporty Spice", "Baby Spice" etc. Its all made up, non of it is authentic, but rather a result of focus groups and layers of management. npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Ooofff. He still makes that podcast though. Never really listened to it, but was there some clear moment they stopt fanboying eth? npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant https://njump.me/npub1vagelp6lznaz3me6w5atqvy5ema4fe3w98ch8atdff22p672gtmqlsq7dm npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant here is a way to tell without using my shady software. npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant they both did. The comment above makes the mistake of thinking this is multi-signature. npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant I know for a fact he makes dragoons as well npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant https://inner.sebastix.social/c63f293c2362744848d2ca1b599d6f9fa6600fbea1f967f1ab257563d685aef9.mp4 npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant not under the rating/comment section of your new app 😉 npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant cutting out what is probably your entire current user-base is? npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant So they should npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Oops, that was not supposed to be a reply :P npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant if you went through the demo-flow, you can look in "Browse Archons" and find my archon, and my profile there. IF you select my profile there is a big button there to propose a merge npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant @nprofile…9kky do you want to build an archon 🥺👉👈 npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant People, to be clear: npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant had to add some bells and whissles to make an otherwise boring demo of a mechanism somewhat appealing npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant noooooooooooo, you see we have all these bells and whistles!!! npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant No magic bullet here, im sure we are all aware what all the trade-offs are which caused there to be no obvious simple straightforward answer to this matter. npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant I think im using a local relay, so its not me....i think.... npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant yeah im aware, it was that + the power of the coding robots, that spurred me to play around with it. npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant @npub1xts…kk5s you are working on agent environments and stuff no? npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant you mean browsing primal ''Global''? npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant for ''fun'' (it was AI psychosis) i made something that has nested FROSTs participating in a Musig2 ceremony. Although now a full day later i do think i actually have a serious use case🤔 npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant no. npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant and the cat? npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/average-height-by-country npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Im on Archon Signer now, funds are safu npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant well, as a Dutch guy, basically the worlds population consists out of dwarves, so there is that... npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant how many fraudulent clients do we have today? Hard to tell of course, but something tells me that with all the ''oN cHaIn ZaPs'' noise this might become a thing. Luckily people use remote signers, don't they @npub1utx…50e8 npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant I am convinced you are a Dwarf, and there is not much you can do at this point to change that ⛏ npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant all i am wondering is....they have a coding super computer at their fingertips and somehow they are still bored enough to do this type of sillyness npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant I don't care if the feature is added or not....there are just a bunch of considerations at play, and i know 0% users are even aware that those considerations are there, let alone reason about them. So that has to be accounted for 1 way or another npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant how many senders (or actually the receivers because they have to deal with this) know this type of math or think about it at all? Might wanna include a graph that shows them at what fee-rate their zap gets r3kt and by how much npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant ah, fees of the time....5 dollars.... npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant thank you for responding with the most optimal non-answer you could give. npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant LOL! 1000 participant musig2...in a WEB client. I for sure thought it would break before that, so i capped it at 1000. It took 13 minutes though, but still, the fact that it held surprised me. Going to implement OTS now first, and then will run another stress test to see how far she can go. npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant What dust limit are you using? The current 0.00000001 sats/vbyte current one? Or the 100 sats/vbyte one in a couple of years? npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Protocols compete; Nostr and Mastodon are at odd with each other; you will be hard pressed to convince people on Mastodon to switch to Nostr, unless they ran an instance for a while and can see things on Nostr make more sense. npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant this one? npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant probably satelite.earth being dead. Will have to change things over, but im bussy npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant so i successfully created a musig2 signature where one participant consisted out of nested FROSTs....so, there is that. Anyway, all of that was a distraction, because i also successfully used an android remote signer (those things @npub1utx…50e8 hates so much) to participate in a musig2 signature. npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant More services. I like @npub1jjn…vknm , but i the upload size restrictions are kinda silly if you ask me; i need a ton of gb of storage, but i sometimes do need to upload something that maybe is close to 500mb big :/ npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant So all the users that are using it now can keep using it without accidentally updating the app and not being able to use it anymore; npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant its a vibe npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant did you investigate this? I think about 100% of your users used a signer/amber npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant meanwhile my https://azzamo.media/ has size limit of 50mb that wont cover all my things :( npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Ok those are fighting words npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant How do you expect people to use nostr if not via bunker? npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Cool. npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant all of this should already be in NIP-3c npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant In the end it is all NAK anyway (which is in Go) npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Are you? Because i think this is something where Nostr can really demonstrate its added value, where the people with 3,5 toes and 1,75 arms or whatever can have their own dedicated/tailored clients allowing them through their specific UI to interface with the rest of the world just fine npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant No, its TIM, not lego npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant what does ''server-side'' even mean in the context of Nostr? A very beefy client, possibly including a relay, that is run by someone else? npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Alright people. With OTS out of the way, time to work on Musig2! npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant from a PoW/nakamoto consensus perspective, its just stupid not to all work on the same chain, and frankly a waste of hashing. Its a signal/noise thing, and you want a really high noise floor(difficulty) to make coordination/consensus easier because it lowers the odds that what you perceive as signal is actually noise (stale blocks, ophans, forks whatever). The increased ''value'' of a higher noisefloor/difficulty in this sense is not linear, its exponential npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Congratulations, i think you managed to work on something people care less about than OTS npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Yeah clients can run this type of verification really easy. To optimize things (i.e. not having to fetch a bunch of crap that might not be relevant, or does not have proofs etc.) my proposal is to leverage relays. npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant I like the emojis a lot npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Your mom falls into the broader category of blue. npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Oh, this OTS database i made has a nice animated version :P (so does the android app, but you have to scroll down to see it and by that time the animation is already done) npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant This was frankly too much of an effort post not to repost. npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant ah, ok that explains a lot haha. npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant teal* npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant No i mean to say that in terms of nostr, the bitcoin header chain up to 2022 is irrelevant, so you could throw away 2009 to 2022 of the headerchain reducing that 80mb even more. npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Not verifying an OTS proof is honestly, extremely retarded. Ive played around with header syncing in the creation of all of this, and it is so damn trivial. The entire header set is less than 80mb at the moment, and for anything nostr related you can just throw away anything more than 4 years old anyway. If shipping 80mb with the app is too much, a header sync with a list of checkpoints is also a matter of seconds. The only issue is web-clients, because they cant really do the p2p thing connecting to bitcoin nodes, but plenty of alternatives there (ultimately getting the data is a trivial problem, and verifying it is trivial as well) npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Download OTSuite! Its a wisp-clone for the most part, but better color scheme and all the timestamping features a person could want. npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant i think im going to skip timestamping this one, thnx npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Timestamps anchor your post into the bitcoin blockchain, in order to prove that it existed atleast at that moment in time (but could be older, definitely not newer). npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Here is a little article about what was broken with NIP-03 and how i fixed it. npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Should have gone for the vader striking obiwan gif🧐 npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant oh, dan gaat bij mij altijd deze op repeat, dat bas lijntje sleurt je overal doorheen: npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant "met een welgemeende wens, voor een heel bijzonder mens" npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant https://youtu.be/EywBg4iNwp0 npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant 'An empty test cup, can not fill another outcome cup' npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant The wonderfull app picked up my post automatically and requested a bitcoin timestamp for it npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant It works 🥳Im too tired to make a whole write up, so i wil do it tomorrow, but everyone can sleep sound knowing Open Timestamps on Nostr is now fixed! npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Test 3 npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Stablecoins....the illegal banking operation that somehow never was cracked down on for ???reasons???. npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant My take exactly npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Who in their right mind puts lettuce on a donut!??!?🥬🍩 npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Test 2 👀 npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Not sure but it appears to be failing🤔 npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Test 👀 npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Here is what happened: npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Ok the bug show be fixed....lets test it in production again! npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant trying to figure that out. Also wondering if i should bother deleting anything. npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant I was brave enough to give my home brew app a bunkerlink for this profile. I have no idea yet what happened, but it could be that it is republishing events, and it is getting random crap from relays npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Hello people, I am just as confused as you are, don't worry. npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant fascinating, i really wonder what happened here exactly🤔 npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant So the #Pentagon is running #Bitcoin? npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Show this to Anglosaxxon race. Reject faggots and degeracy this June! https://image.nostr.build/a1421b88b8d83075d1f63473e496b30c69e4ddb96d23dd0b0afa6fd7e715311b.jpg npub1t6jxfqz9hv0lygn9thwndekuahwyxkgvycyscjrtauuw73gd5k7sqvksrw Constant Bitcoiners are far too intelligent to succumb to religious beliefs. We are hard data driven. Not a child with an imagination
