You are not wrong, but also missed the obvious which you might have arrived at if you'd stick to the metaphor;
You are saying the townssquare is not the breakout usecase, sure, but whatever 'establishment' get super popular is still connected to that square.
Thats what the square is; the center to all the shops, restaurants, cafes, theaters etc.

Still leaves the fact that with Nostr querying multiple relays distributes computes regardless

I would add that this 'unlimited time' thing is cheating, and therefore makes it practically wrong. And i don't mean in terms that using infinity is always cheating, but in terms of trust decay.
I am also not making a data availability argument, but one of distance in social graph:
Data is meaningless, in order for it to be information you need context. The immediate context to events is the signature, which brings us into this whole WoT thing. Problem is that signatures run under an underlying assumption that the privatekey is indeed private and therefor the wielder of a name is consistent.
The problem is not getting data anymore, in the 'dead internet TM' context the problem almost completely shifts to getting 'real' data. Relying fundementally on both the key assumption on the one hand, and WoT on the other, distance in socialgraph but also distance in time becomes an issue in a similar way:
It is more realistic to assume that keys will eventually get compromised in their lifetime than not. Therefor if we imagine a let say 100 year timeline (which compared to 'infinity' is not all that much right?), we have generational distance to old notes and their associated keypairs. My point is that because of integrity insecurity, you get a similar type of trust removal as if those keys were distant from your social graph.
In other words: yes, on this 'infinite timeline' you can have all the data, but for the most part means you have all the noise; and its that same time component that undermines your ability to differentiate signal from noise. Time is actually undermining your efforts is my point.
This is also why i keep on hammering on the use of NIP-03 opentimestamps, which somewhat mitigates all of this
-
Her point is that because it is indexed via unique hashes, if you crawl long and persistent enough in theory you could find all the things.
Atleast, i think that is her point.

Spam is an inherent issue in open systems (or rather systems that try to be as open as possible, in service of network effects). The DOS issue is different on different levels, be that router, server or user; fake request, fake data and fake information respectively.
Clients and relays both can help filter spammy info, relays will have to find ways to deal with spammy data, and it is very interesting to see this type of work trying to tackle the most fundamental layer of it all.
It is also the most far out there to be honest, and i am personally uncomfortable to even dream that big...can you imagine?
"Lets fix Twitter" turning into "lets fix the entire Web", ultimately ending up with "oops, guess we have redone the entire internet".
Maybe it has been a long held vision in my minds eye, but I keep my visions to myself.

You are simply looking at raw numbers, which is a mistake on your end.
Desktop applications allows for far more complicated features and usecases; both in terms of UI and in terms of available compute, important for laying the groundwork and exploring the possibilities within this new paradigm. The share of power-users is far larger among the early adopters, which also impacts the numbers game you hint to on one end, but on the other hand gets into the fact not every type of user is of equal added value (in every moment in time); power users are what bootstraps this thing for the most part.
Case in point: The Damus Notedeck thing is gearing up to be a mayor breakthrough in within the Nostr space; and Gossip in its own way did it before that.

Another thing that Nostr will ultimately solve or improve:
The terrible phenomena of euphemisms (un-alive instead of dead), deliberate mispronunciations (corn instead of porn) or explicit spelling (S.E.X. istead of sex), to avoid moderation/algorithm implications.
It is horrible, because most of the times it is not to undermine anything, it is just trying to avoid stupid consequences while the words are used ’innocently’. It is not just sex stuff, but also COVID or whatever. Stupid games where people are fighting the machine that judges them, that can’t tell context (well enough) to figure out if anything ‘problematic’ is even going on on the one hand; and stupid blanketed moderation policies that are obvious ‘one size fits no-one’ tragedies on the other.
We need Nostr’s freedom of association for so many reasons, the current web is awful.
-
The ‘race’ would be attacking the center, which is futile imo.
You don’t attack entrenched network effects head on, it is pointless; Nostr loses on most of all metrics which got those platforms in that position in the first place, at least for now.
What sets Nostr apart is the openness and interoperability, ability to moderate/curate/censor, all while retaining network effect and censorship resistance. This implies an ecosystem; Nostr’s added value grows not just with every user, but with every new application. The resulting clusterfuck of Venn diagrams will eventually encompass the center from the outside in.
This means two things (at least):
1: we don’t have to attack the center, we can encircle it by conquering the margins of niche communities and use-cases, and grow and strengthen the network as a whole that way. Which is also something the competition can’t do (as effectively).
2: The way this works IS to do it the right way, because otherwise it won’t work. It wont have the features mentioned above making the endeavor ultimately pointless.
This new paradigm is difficult because we are figuring it out along the way, in a decentralized/disorganized manner. It is messy and the result will be imperfect but hopefully good enough.
So yeah, you are right Bill, there is no quick win. And if there is something Bitcoiners have shown it is persistence with the conviction pay-off will come eventually however long it takes; one of the many reasons it is this group of people who have a shot at achieving all of this.

Hard to say on the smell question. Spawning pools contain 'primordial ooze', but i dont think that has to stink per se.
Defiler mound has 'a disgusting pool of cancerous soup with a tangled mass of horribly twisted biological rejects', that produces various venoms. Deadly, but smelly? Dunno, no-one alive does by default either.
Ultralisk carvens contain 'numerous high-radiation deposits and dangerous substances', so i dont think much rotting takes place there. Which takes us to the Queen's nest, 'a festering mound of living organisms', which i recon has the worst smell.
Marry the Valkyrie, she is totally ride or die.
Fuck the Medic, giant flirt.
Kill the Dropship, that bitch has an attidude.
Atleast, assuming after the war. During it would be:
Marry the Dropship, highest odds of survival.

The roaming thing is actually a hard problem of accounting, for which the actual sollution would be paying directly for internet acces/bandwidth in some way or another. Which in turn is a technical problem of payments.
Providers do incurr costs and risks, they are only not allowed to directly price those anymore. Albeit that i dont have a lot of sympathy for mobile providers, and they fuck and squeeze consumers in every way they can think off (paying for SMS for example), so in that sense the legistlation was not too bad.
Then again, when are they going to ban these stupid subsciption churn praktices; its an entire fucking industry that produces absolutely nothing. All it does is it forces consumers to play this stupid game of 'its the end of my subscription, i will leave if you dont give me another deal' on the one end; and this endless groundswell of small parties with cheap deals that just farm clients in order to sell themselves again to the big providers after a short while.
Anyway, off topic i guess, but you guys got me started 🤣

Let me abuse kind 1 here:
Today I went to the meetup associated with the Dutch mini-documentary called ‘Error 404: het internet in crisis’(the internet in crisis), that was released a few days ago.
The episode was about how regulation could keep fight back on the negative practices of social media platforms, following a Greenparty member of the European parliament, the Executive Director of the Mozilla Foundation and some lawyer trying to fight a legal battle with Meta.
The underlying question was whether something could still be done or if the crisis was complete.
I had a lot of disagreements with what was shown in the documentary, but it is relevant especially that the EU ‘Digital Services Act’ is going into force now. I decided to go to the meetup where a couple of the key players in the documentary would speak and the audience could ask questions.
My main take-away is that there is this sense of desperation, a lack of control on the situation. The idea that these few large corporations just do whatever they want and are geared towards hacking our very human nature. This path of legislation is experienced as their only hope in turning the tide, using the great power structure in the shape of the EU to fight the monolith of a handful of all powerful platforms. This general sentiment is being expressed explicitly from out the EU itself, stating the ambition to be a world superpower by mean of creating legislation; be it AI, cryptocurrencies or social media. Europe can’t seem to create competitive businesses in these fields, so they try to achieve their edge this way, at least so is the thought.
My sense is that these for the most part are very confused people. To illustrate, during the session they expressed their complaints with profiling and targeted advertisements, to subsequently argue a minute later that better targeted adds should help reduce a lot of spammy irrelevant advertisement practices by only getting things that are relevant to you. They did not seem self-aware of this blatant contradiction, and for the most part operate on some ‘if it sounds good it ought to be that way, if it sounds bad it ought not to be that way’ mode of thinking; unaware of the technical reality of things. I guess a concrete expression of this (that was not discussed, but that is besides the point), is the EU now insisting chat applications (whatsapp, signal etc.) become interoperable; it sounds nice, but how on earth is that going to work? Not their problem, for they have an ought in mind and their dictates will make it a reality...somehow.
In the context of the meetup I was only able to ask one question. I decided to ask that given they take issue with the monopoly position of these large platforms, if they did not fear that all these barriers and costs resulting from this legislation would prevent alternatives from coming up, and that it would not just solidify the position of these platforms able to cover theses costs.
The answer boiled down to something like ‘we legislate bad things, and bad things are not the type of innovation we want, so it wont prevent the innovation we do want.’. The host subsequently asked in response to that answer if that did not simply mean that it was them deciding on what was good and what was bad innovation. This followup question caused confusion, they did not seem to comprehend that this could be the case. They did not really have an answer other than that if insights would change over time, new legislation could be made.
From taking a glance at this EU ‘Digital Services Act’ it predominately focuses on ‘Very large online platforms’ (technical term for anything with more than 45 million monthly users), and for the most part is geared towards forcing companies to have adequate processes in place. So the emphasis is more on due diligence than making them directly liable for stuff happening on their platforms.
Still, the devil is in the details with these things, and they shoe-horned a bunch of ‘grey area’ subjects into this like ‘gender-based violence, public health, and mental and physical wellbeing’.
I do sympathize with these people but in the best case they are useless and in the worst case they are counter productive. Unfortunately they do have their hands on levers of power; and I am frankly more concerned about them, than ‘Big Tech’.

Semtech acquired the company of the three guys that created the phy, they run the entire thing.
They were hard enough to get a hold off
eventhough we had close ties and direct lines of contact hehe.

1: Semtech owns it; there are other chip producers with licenses from Semtech
2: the phy has been reverse engineered and opensourced
3: LoRaWAN is open btw
4: everytime it comes up i have communicated using LoRa is not a good idea; it was designed for a different purpose all together (i.e. large sensor networks for which it is great).
I think the reason people keep going for LoRa is because there are a lot of cheap and easy resources available🤷♂️
(Was an IoT consultant, mostly LoRa, for 4,5 years, doing designing and producing sensors all the way to designing and deploying large scale networks)

Is the decent private group chat thing easily solved? I have hopes, but seeing is believing.
The second point will be interesting. This high agreeableness/low tollerance for disagreeableness crowd will self segregate by blocking, muting and blinding themselves from the outside world like they always do (and to be clear i think this is totally fine, legitemate and principally have no issue with this); but this time in doing so they wont marginalize others directly via bansishment from platforms.
However it would constitute more of a 'soft' attack on socialgraphs. So who knows how that will actually play out.

I just gave you the reason for why we are early; even a lot of developers don't fully grasp things yet.
I also told you i dont care about those non-Bitcoin normies; ofcourse they much rather stick to the environment that has a bazillion $ of funding and decades of development history. Where is the value add for those people, there is not any. At best they feel the current platforms getting shittier, but that is a push, not a pull, and for now same-old-same-old-but-with-bullshitmarketing stuff like bluesky will get those people before we do, and then fail regardless.
We are not building a social media alternative, we are building a whole new web, a whole new compute paradigm, its all new, its all different and it all has to be figured out.
Tiktok blew up in no-time because it is the endstage of a paradigm; the bestest fanciest horsebuggy.
Nostr wont win by competing on those terms.
-
You seem preoccupied with (normie) user adoption. That is not unreasonable but personally think this is not the way it is going to play out.
It makes far more sense to me that Nostr will take the margins first and encircle the center before capturing that center. The super power is in the interoperability throughout the variety of usecases; go for the niches.
I, and my sense is a small but minimal viable size group is already at the point of there being no reason to ever go 'back', and our options/usecases only grows over time.
Retention among normies/masses is terrible, but i expect it to be such.
Realize that Nostr constitutes a whole new paradigm that appearently most devs dont even seem to comprehend (fully) yet. We are, in fact, still early

I agree, although the sollution is rather easy by allowing users to set thresholds on what they get notified (and some way to signal/make clear what that threshold is). From there is kinda becomes silly to complain about getting paid for trivial to ignore spam.

'It was designed to liberate us from the tyranny of the state and the banking cartels'
Look, don't get me wrong, my intention is not to counter signal this sentiment/statement, but i do advise to get off the 'ought' train, because intent does not really matter all that much. For the most part it just results in fitting the thing into your own biasses and resulting projections onto the world.
For instance people complaining states addopting BTC because supposedly it is anti-state. Its not, it is a system that scales coordination by minimizing trust requirements avoiding the political frictions that occur in alternate methods. I.e. Bitcoin would be pointless if some world council could come to a happy agreement on a world currency and its (innitial) distribution.
In fact, looking at Bitcoin, states addopting it in the context of the geopolitical jungle is probably the most logical usecase for the thing. It scales politically, but does not scale on a """tx/s""" basis. Ergo, the masses were never going to aquire basechain-level-sovereignty, but states are. The fact that due to the neutrality of the system some individuals, and probably a bunch of organizations and business will, is as it stands now just a mere side-effect. Most people are just confused about this because Bitcoin had to come from 0 (starting with '0 btc' at a 0$ price) and had to go through its grassroots rise towards its destination. I.e. its going through the plebs, but it was never for them. (But any effort in scaling the thing towards that point is appreciated, as long as it does not undermine the system, see blocksize war for instance)
Anyway, long rant, point is: i am not saying Bitcoin is not a force for good, but carefull because by far most naratives around Bitcoin, even from "Bitcoiners" are utter magical wishfull thinking bullshit. Probably because libertarians are so dominant and they are at the end of the day retarded*.
*i.e. just projections of the biases of (young) males that are willing/capable of carrying the responcibilites/risks of this world and assume everyone can/should, and from that assumption complain about footing the bill for those that dont/cant. Or in other words, they dont want to pay for civilization because they are happy on pirate island, untill they become dads and realize sending their 8 year old daughter to the bazar with a gun and some good old streetsmarts from her own bootstraps as not to get scammed is not going to cut it.

Ok, so.
1: forget the selected relays *insert stop trying to make manual relay selection happen .gif*
2: client takes the follow list and uses it as a guide to pick relays for a feed innitially.
3: innitially uses the existing follow list as your 'soft follow' set up.
4: continue the scheme as you described.
5: 'clustered' softfollows could be a reason for the client to decide to add a relay for feed purposes (instead of just fetching particular npub notes)
A: assumes an existing profile with existing socialgraph, if this is not the case, pls see *bootstrapproblemexistsforeverything.pfd*
B: manual relay selection should still be an option, ofcourse, if not just to make you happy

A lot of it is repression by proxy anyway. Look at things like the 'Financial Action Taskforce', which formally is not even anything other than a group with a list and 'recommendations' that for some reason countries adhere to.
If according to the ideology being oppressed is the virtue, they cant/wont declare explicit power, so for the most part they don't, or denie it is happening when they do.
Atleast it would be cool to resist some out in the open coherent tyrant; now we are stuck in the most fake n gay type fight of our lives.

Yes, primals approach is retarded and wont work. I was not catching on you were refering to that (that discussion might be all the rage right now, but was not part of the context here, so thats why).
I was refering to/explaining something different entirely

I will have a look.
The way i see things now is that each individual client (nor user using multiples of clients for that manner) wont have to perform such exercises over and over again each time. Running such an operation should result in a product (simply put a list of events), which can then be used by others.
Also, these operations can vary in terms of debth and width, adjusting to usecase irt available compute and bandwidth.
At nostr:nprofile1qqsr3gwphg38qcy5lpzd2vphk3apdnfaywkpk8nq4yljkthqn33y6ncppamhxue69uhku6n4d4czumt99u9pjye9 we call this type of operation 'pulse'; a ripple through the mess of events out there guided by a construct of biasses on npubs and lists.
In any event, i gues my main argument would be that computational efficiency is irrelevent because due to spam, data curration (signal/noise diffirentiation) will be the #1 challenge and i'd argue to only way to tackle that is in in a distributed manner (i.e. relying on a network and networks of networks of people applying sensemaking for themselves). Any walled garden will either be too limited or run over by weeds with nothing in between.

As long as its not IPAs, whoever thought those were a good idea has serious taste issues and somehow convinced hordes of morrons.
Tripels are the best btw.

That is just some holding company, not the producer of the beer.
Heineken is designed to be the most unoffensive bland taste like nothing 'beer' possible. After a couple of beers it does not matter that much what you are drinking, but having it as your first one is a huge dissapointment (yes, i notice when i am served heineken, without knowing it is heineken).
Grolsch actually has a taste.
I also like jupiler, as far as pilsener is concerned.

Heerlijk helder heineken.
It sucks btw, if you drink pils, be a man and drink Grolsch.
Vakmanschap is meesterschap

Recon this a bit overdramatic. Given the circumstances we are very lucky stuff like opensats exists, in the way it does. There are so many different ways all of this could have played out that are orders of magnitude worse.
Some context could not hurt, might even make one gratefull, regardless of the need to stay vigilant

Fuck UX, in it for the tech.

What is the value of transparently avoiding all the hard problems?

Its so good because it is not really a Nostr app. The reason people think it is because it also uses signed JSON.

I agree. The 'primal problem' was not front and center in my mind, until yesterday i tried out their search for a bunch of things and got suspicious as to how on earth it could possibly work. I asked some jungle dweller just to check, and he confirmed my suspicions.
What is most confusing is that when you listen to them talk they say all the right things. If the idea is to do the right thing 'eventually', then when will that eventually be? Its now right? Right?

The risks arguably get smaller over time, when interoperability among a larger ecosystem is the norm. Its especially in this phase of the protocol where something that is not (as) interoperable can become really popular and undermine the protocol.
In terms of ensuring, dunno, perhaps we can finance a crew specialized in breaking kneecaps of bad actors or something like that

A shorter way of saying it would be:

My thinking on this recently turned things around in a sense. These platform have a luxury Nostr has not, in there being a complete global state of all the things on a 'single' database.
This means that before you can even filter, you need to explore. Now i guess the main underlying thesis is that with 'dead internet TM' we are forced to do this regardless (eventually), and that the platforms only provide an increasingly crumbling facade of a sensible world. Bias is not just the way we achieve finding the content we prefer, it is how we differentiate signal from noise, the real from the fake by distributing trust via the social graph, in the first place.
My point is, the 'pick your own algo' meme is not some cool feature as a result of liberating ourselves from the platforms; it is the unfortunate necessity as a result of the impending wave of chaos that would otherwise engulf us; something platforms won't save us from, regardless how totalitarian they become in an attempt to keep their facade alive.
Then again, I started out by saying ‘recently’, but in a sense I have just been spinning my wheels for over a year

Reflecting on the passed year, as one does around this time, i am looking back at a book that does not exist yet.
My original intention was to have finished written this ‘book about Nostr’ months ago. This was mostly due to the fact that the first part about the problems with the status quo and how we got into this mess was so easy to write. On the one hand because this year just kept handing out example after example where the problems lie, be it the Brazil X-ban or the myriad of other occurrences; but on the other hand more importantly because i already had that narrative down years ago. While digging through my hard-drive i found an interview i did in 2019 that was never published, where i laid out all the fundamental problems, and the story is basically the same (video down below, it is in Dutch). This part of the book has been mostly done for many many months now. The issue was describing Nostr itself.
I can’t pin point when I got aware of Nostr, and I mainly build my intuition around the protocol outside of the ‘community’ or use of the protocol itself; partly because I am not a developer nor much of a ‘social media’ user. It is only recently I actually started looking at NIPs due to my work with Nostr Special Forces, and for the longest time I never even read NIP-01. This way of going at it was facilitated by the fact I could just discuss Nostr matters with its creator, to the point where he rather have me stay blissfully unaware of the NIPs out there to keep my thinking uninfluenced by them.
But when it got to describing the Nostr phenomena for the book, I felt it was not enough. I started using the clients, turn NAK into a new best friend and engage with the broader (developer) community. The hardest part is that Nostr is still so actively evolving that describing it in its current state would make the book outdated by the time it comes out. Giving projections as to what it will become has its own problems because it might as well turn out to be completely wrong. It forces me to gain enough confidence in my perspective. Having enough confidence is one thing, but that still leaves me in finding the words to shape an accessible narrative in describing a new paradigm. This is ultimately the point of the book and I figured the only way through that problem is iteration.
I am passed the point of diminishing returns on my narrative iterations, so the only thing that is left to do is put is down on paper definitively. So there you have it, my new years resolution. Basically the same one I had last year, but it is what it is.
Merry Christmas Nostr.

I am making an epistemological statement you midwit; yet here you are rambling off assumptions as to what my position/beliefs would be, lol.
-
No, the point is that its a nice story but ultimately just a story. If you want to believe you dont have free will or whatever, go ahead. Its in the same realm as 'God', or questions as to what constitutes 'energy'. We dont know what energy is, we only know its expression.
Anyone making definitive claims on any of this is overstepping their bounds
-
'Rules of the internet' are descriptive, faggot.
-
There are epistemological limits wich make it such that we cant make these definitive ontological claims. Its a nice hypothesis though.
