Last Notes
I have friends who live half the year in Valencia, and they also are fellow farmers market vendor family, so…
Me too. Only a******s root for Argentine

If you work in education or have kids in the system then I would strongly encourage you to plan for what is coming in the next few years.

It boggles my mind how this topic is completely botched by both sides of the argument.
Yes, normies know how passwords work and they could use nsecs the same way. Its retarded to hear devs make up shitty fake google logins to solve it.
On the other hand, you really said users can put their nsec in a PW manager. PW managers are the preferred method for normies, but none of them have ever entered a password into a PW manager. You can't throw a 256 bit nsec at a users face and tell them to save it somehow. No normie has ever dealt with a permanent PW that they didn't set themselves. Most normies don't know what a PW manager is if you asked them, even though they use it every day.
The very obvious solution is to trigger the PW manager yourself and its insane to me that every nostr app doesn't do this already.
On mobile you have native functions on both ios and android to prompt a save password to the users OS default PW manager. Do this when generating or pasting a key.
On web, you don't have a function, but browser PW managers grab onto form inputs of type password, on submission. When you create a user an nsec, you need to create an invisible form, fill in the PW field with the nsec, and submit it programmatically. Ask your favorite clanker fren and he will happily implement this for you into a self contained utility function.
It boggles my mind that people make up stupid ass excuses or shitty backup schemes to cater to normies instead of the existing PW manager that every OS and browser has already.
One of the beneficial contributions Nostr is making to the world is that it forces people to learn key pairs. That's precisely one of the reasons you want people to use Nostr, so that they have to learn them.

The Bitcoin payment sign has been getting an attention…
but nobody has actually paid with Bitcoin yet. 😅⚡️
Well, they say that the nsec is encrypted before it's saved so Google doesn't know it (and it's mostly correct), but you're right, it's a step into dangerous territory. Because here you're already linking a possibly anonymous npub to a KYC'ed account. And you let Google know, that you are a Nostr user and when you're using it.
adding Google services is the entry that they need to collect one's nsec, if it is only leaked or you deliver it because they ask you to log in, only that breaks the NOSTR base that only you can control your account?
yup, i had lost luggage for a week their a couple years ago. that's amazing you got your recovered after that long!
i don't think America is very prudish anymore lol from the way i hear internationals talking about it it's basically expected we're the worse so certainly comes off as a surprise to me to find that. other places in the EU would honestly have been less surprising 🫠
i haven't been to Helsinki but my brother has and he thought it was one of the best as well. i'm probably just going to stick with Germany as my main transit country in Europe though.
Why don't they play like that the whole time? I guess it's not fun when you're playing against a team full of thugs who get away with 16 fouls in 15 minutes without a single card.
I just hope Spain beats the absolute shit out of them tomorrow, so bad that even that won't help them anymore.
What's up with France yo? 😀
Bitcoin is Money — not a billboard.
BIP110 restores Bitcoin’s purpose as a peer‑to‑peer monetary network by curbing data spam, tightening consensus safety, and keeping node operation affordable for everyone. It’s a temporary, reversible safeguard that protects decentralization, efficiency, and neutrality — ensuring Bitcoin remains sound, sovereign money rather than a playground for arbitrary data.

Haha that's funny. I don't think Milton Friedman would tip either. He would finanace it and Keynes would have never paid the tip eventually. Keynes would have probably asked someone else to tip lol
The puritans left England because they were prudes. It makes sense that USA now is less hypersexual thank UK. Wild those were in an airport 🤯
I've not gone to UK in a while, but when I went to Ireland one time at customs they accused me of coming to drain their resources. Like excuse you ma'am I came here to spend money 🤑💰🤣
My favorite airport was Helsinki, I like it so much that I aim to do layovers there now when I can in Europe.
tl;dr: England peaked a century ago.
#nevent1q…sg64
so my fam has had a few unplanned layovers in the UK now. London is probably going to be a transit city i avoid in bookings now cause less than a 20% success rate there now this decade and the experience just sucks. i'm obviously american bias and not personally explored much beyond hotel zone around Heathrow. the people are mostly polite which i do greatly appreciate but having to explain english grammar over legal liability to an airport manager the other day was just silly.
as for the other stuff, the city itself is just trashy. i know folks there like the classic look but most of the buildings don't seem to have had any repairs/updates in a few decades. every business looked like it cut landscaping from their budget this year. roads mid and cover with legal warnings everywhere. honestly, London feels like it could just be Detroit or Cleveland.
as an American muslim i always hear about how big the muslim population is in the UK. in reality i'm goong to go out on a limb and say this is mostly media hype. every other major EU city has 10+ times the demographic density. i wore a thobe this week and got more stares than i do in red states. and (here's the worse part) the rummors about sexual preditors is sadly true as my wife had to deal with that from locals! 😡
and i actually want to lean into that last part becuase that sort of stuff only happens when normalized in a culture. guess what, front display at the tech store i stopped in was all dildos (this was in the airport itself - first time i've very seen sex toys marketed front and center like that in an airport). my observation is the UK has a higher degree of this hypersexual normalization than in the USA. idk if this is true. clearly this is a biased and limited experience i've had but i can't say it makes me all that interested in taking my family back for holiday.
i do wish the muslim community there the best. you clearly have at least nearly as much running against you as we do across the pond. however, i am inclined to believe that muslims there are exagerating your degree of influence and the anti-islam crowds there probably do have something worth listening to that needs to be addressed.
I want to name my first son Obaida so I can be Abu Obaida

I mean...I still don't understand why people can't just brew their own coffee. But if you're supporting a local business hey, why not?
I do somewhat think it'd be better if the coffee shops closed and the labor went to more productive endeavors though. But maybe not -- there's something to be said for supporting public gathering spaces.
Guess we just let the market decide.
Recently watched Voice of Hind Rajab.
It brought back memories of when it was actually happening.
I was following it as it happened and I can't believe the world let a 6 year old die, surrounded by 6 corpses while begging for her life.
Nothing I've said about the Jews since I joined NOSTR a year ago even comes close to how bad those demons actually are.
Choose rich, become a Nostr developer. 😆
Nobody said that. But they're getting enough to make a decent living off it and buy some fancy IT gadgets.
Not like what people who work at Google get paid.
Especially this constant argument "you can't make things too hard for people" yada yada. Like what? When it comes to getting naked and acting without any restraint, it's always "we live in the 21st century". But heaven forbid you expect even the slightest bit of intellectual ability from someone in the 21st century. Total idiocracy here.
Nobody's getting money here, no? No funding? For real?
I'm not talking about "shoulds". I try to assess things at least somewhat realistically.
Exactly! You can only simplify things far enough to the point it becomes ridiculous. I think that's why we are getting dumber as a society.
What money, lol. Pretty much no one is getting paid for developing in this space.
You're right, but I meant the chip industry as a whole, not only storage.
It's not just key pairs that are old news to me, but human-machine relationships too. But whatever you say. I've got nothing against hopeless optimism.
Do you think that has any chance of succeeding? Key pairs aren't anything new. We already explained ourselves silly back in the PGP days and it still didn't do any good.
I thought keypairs would be a problem. Turns out even people asking me what the "slash" is on the keyboard are able to save a simple long "word". It's even better 'cause they don't even have to remember a username for it
Yeah could say the same man. Is it beginning already?
we need a good way to wake up the lurkers. there's at least a couple hundred i know that pop in and out every 9 months or so. getting those folks to pick a side requires community and we are getting close.

i had to explain to a manager the differences between an inclusive statement and an exclusive one today. 🤦🏻♂️
we already were there before nostr or the internet. it is an intentional development focus on quanitative results (number of users go up) vs qualitative experience of the community. and sadly, most people are never trained to think qualitatively.
Bro we can't even find 2 Nostr users in one city 😂
But why are we even catering to them? See
#nevent1q…cuxs
Catering to the dumbest of the dumb is a straw man argument. And it always has negative consequences. Just think a few steps ahead. What do normal users deal with? A username and password combination like
dumbFerret : myPet123
On Nostr the equivalent would be
npub1983hifi24jb8248t3r... : nsec189df2487dcwjz3dg...
It's basically not much different. It just looks a bit more cryptic on Nostr. And that scares off "normal" users? Can't they just put it in a password manager?
If so, then we're really dealing with the dumbest of the dumb. And what happens then? When we've got the dumbest of the dumb users on here?
The discussions get dumber.
The arguments too.
We've got more pigeons shitting on the chessboard.
We've got no consensus anymore.
No people who understand language, who still know the definition of words.
=> We've got Twitter/X!
Is that what we want? At any cost? If so, my next question: Who benefits from it, who profits from it? Follow the money and you know where this nonsense comes from.
#nevent1q…y3wu
China kind of already does own the industry though. allocation is pretty centralized atm but that should be changing soon
probably depends on individual bandwidth. if you have 40 people in an ai mesh in the same city it's probably also faster than if you're in 8 different countries.
İstiklal’de bomboş dolandım, şimdi de bir pubda hayatımın en kötü burgerini yiyorum. Aşırı keyif aldığım bir cumartesi. Hayat güzel.
🤔idk what Amethyst defaults are and can't check right now. but that should be nip17 i think so it's probably a relay alignment issue. personally i've used relay.0xchat.com and auth.nostr1.com and rarely miss a DM (sometimes connection delays but that's been about it).
I am not advocating for anyone linking existing npubs to a Google account. Current Nostr users don’t need to change anything at all. This is all about making onboarding easier for everyone else who either tried Nostr and gave up or never joined in the first place because they thought it was too hard. These are users who are not uncomfortable with storing all of their passwords and financial data in a corporate cloud. Over time, once they begin to understand the benefits of better anonymity, they can switch to using sovereign keys.
But then it would be much slower, right?
