Zaps were almost called Bolts. Thankfully @npub1xts…kk5s saved us.

Lightning is the universal layer. We don’t need ecash zaps when LN can already handle ecash, without the shared mint issue.
Don’t call this turd “zaps”
Thank you. Nice and easy explanation
The only spec that fixes it is my spec rn. (Check the quoted note)
That’s the entire point.
No signers that I know of reliably show what is being decrypted so far. Sometimes you see the plaintext but that is often useless
Nostr needs a Cash App like integration of a mechanism similar to stripe, Kofi, Patreon, etc.
Nostr’s insistence on Bitcoin only may be the biggest barrier to adoption.
I’d like to see a transition to an open money transmission protocol for Nostr so that we can transmit money in a permissionless manner.
Once you force a currency into the protocol it’s permissioned.
Nostr shouldn’t be Bitcoin only.
I have already provided a detailed report on the V4V regarding Nostr on several occasions, and it is true that we need at least 10, if not 20, times more members before we can realistically expect anyone to make a living from it.

Divine has been the biggest source of activity in my purview since it launched, and aside from bugs, it's been by far the most streamlined on-boarding into the network for the normie.
The complexities still exist in one form or another, and even with telling people "hey, you've got something far more wild than you realize on your hands"... Most of them don't dare try.
Now sure, we've got 'algorithm' feed options in some clients, but in general the feed is a canonical firehose that doesn't know a thing about the user or their mental triggers.
Without it, Nostr is a social media detox.
Without it, people scrape the barrel for dopamine.
Without it, they relapse back to normieland where they can get all the cheap dopamine they could want. Drip fed by corporate interests.
Gotcha. I have often stared at the hex thinking "yep, looks really encrypted to me."
Do you have a suggestion for a spec I can look at or a signer that identifies what is being decrypted?
My bad, your guicy ass, which could cause a car pileup at any intersection.
Okay, you convinced me with that. KIIS. Keep it simple, stupid.
Though I feel at some point someone will ask how did you zap me or where did you zap me. Ultimately this is a UX issue.
Or any government officials

You can also constructively and publicly address what you disagree with. Many of the people observing don't know the potential downsides and appreciate someone with a clue giving a reasoned review.
Not all reviews need to be positive, to be useful. The whole point of developing in public and publishing the code base is to receive public feedback.
We also haven't only gotten positive feedback and had to rethink our core design numerous times. That's normal, in engineering.
@npub1gnw…errq
are there any podcasts that you know of that talk about things like RNS, FIPS, Meahtastic etc.?

No not recently. But now when I try to switch to Cashu, I get the never-ending Greek flair busy spinner of death:

Faking it until you make it is unironically good advice, You must larp as one to be the one.
Look up the Batman effect, There were children tested on why they like Batman, and they can go on about this for up to 10/20 minutes, however if they wear a Batman suit then they can last longer.
Why is this? It is because larping wins. You must fake it till you make it.
Well I just think it would be funny to get an on chain zap and never touch it. For both reasons that I don't care about them and won't use a Nostr client that is even aware of them.
This so much.
I'd rather be nowhere else.
Stay adversarial

@nprofile…fg9w glad for once he not in the firing line 🤣🤣
I see your other application of the idea. But it is useful for organizations to re use an address?
It is not sufficient, if you allow decryption without confirmation. Even if you do, many signers do not show you what is being decrypted or show you a garbled mess that is not helpful.
Doxxtip. It's a tip but with a big doxxing danger.
Great talking with you too @npub1qu2…4jlm
Welcome to #nostr
What A I. do you use? It looks so real? 😅
Marmot is for group DMs, but many protocols need encryption for other things, like encrypting lists, collaborative documents, the initial setup phase for groupDM protocols, etc.
The encrypted message has two additional fields that are authenticated: kind + scope. The signer can restrict operations based on it.
It is not possible to tamper with the kind/scope field without the signer encrypting a fully new message, but you can’t encrypt what you don’t have the plaintext to
These fields are not encrypted though as they are meant to be derived from the (unencrypted) parent event and checked
Have you seen mempool.space ? https://image.nostr.build/6444edef288bde5d02325dc1fe9c31de918fc10c56bf6c7b6bf4972de784773b.gif
Gleason is gaslighting/trolling everyone who raises the obvious issues of address reuse, dust, chain fees, non hd derivations and linking real world id in an nsec to a utxo as cultist bitcoin retards who hate bitcoin.
I'm trying to understand why that is. Are you saying you just don't care about them or can't access the sats?
I second this Nostr is confusing enough already.
We should be consolidating the complexities, and making it more flat for the baseline experience for beginner users, and allow advanced users to customize their own experience more precisely once they figure it out.
The money transmission layer should be as secular, open, and versatile as possible.
I basically just fixed Bitcoin
