having the same database in the client as the server completely changes the way you build apps. you can selectively choose what goes public and what doesn't.

no more web servers with "accounts" where they store all your data.

a prime example of this is openai: you need an account, they store your entire chat history on their server. zero privacy.

with nostr its completely inverted. on the dave nostr app, your ai chat history never leaves your devices, and can be selectively published when sharing.

this can apply to *all* nostr apps. its a new interweb of interoperable applications with data privacy built in.

hosting providers starting to treat nostr like illegal activity? this should get interesting

npub1l2vyh

The assholes at Vultr decided to ban me yesterday.

They asked for explanations of what I used my server for and when I said "nostr" they just told me to get the fuck out.

They gave me 12 hours to access my data and migrate all my dozens of relays and services. All while treating me like a fucking criminal.

I searched for an AI to help me migrate all my stuff and found this Warp tool that is pretty damn good.

It came up with a single one linger to deploy my strfry instances, do strfry db migration, configure HTTP server, everything! I can even tell it "hey, setup blossom on blossom.f7z.io and only allow my pubkey to upload stuff"

Damn fucking wild.

A lifetime ago, I used to be a sysops at a hosting company. Migrating

the reason I'm doing this is because there is rough consensus around updating nip01 to remove multiple filters per REQ.

https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/1645

so clients will need to stop batching their subscriptions into a single REQ. This greatly simplifies a lot of client logic.

If you care about your data and want to truly own it, you should run your own relay.

If you're not a developer, nostr-relay-tray is perfect for you. Just grab an old computer, install it, and let it run quietly in the corner of your room. It’s simple.

Download nostr-relay-tray today and take control of your data!

1. Download the appropriate installer from https://github.com/CodyTseng/nostr-relay-tray/releases and install it.
2. Open nostr-relay-tray.
3. Go to "Proxy", and toggle the switch.
4. Add the public address to your relay list.
5. To prevent receiving spam events, enable WoT (Web of Trust) under "WoT & PoW".

THE NUKENING 2.0 IS UPON US.

The coolest part about all of this is that the Nostr protocol doesn’t even flinch. It just keeps working like nothing happened. That’s the beauty of it. Most users didn’t notice the first time, and they probably won’t notice this time either. Decentralized data is just that resilient. And that is fucking cool!

if you build a #notedeck app you get zapping functionality for free. Imagine if zapping was as easy as creating a hyperlink on a webpage. notedeck manages the NWC wallet, accounts, and signer for you across all your apps.

Hey #nostr A new TestFlight release is here for Purple users to try!

Check out what's updated in version 1.14:

️ - Setup a wallet lightning fast with our new one-click wallet setup, powered by Coinos!
- New revamped wallet experience with balance and transactions view for your NWC wallet — see how much you got zapped without even leaving the app!
- New notification setting to hide hellthreads. ie. Achieve notification peace.
- NIP-65 relay list support — more compatibility across Nostr apps!
- Unicode 16 emoji reactions (only for iOS 18.4+) - even more options to express your reactions!
- Blurred images now show some more information — no more wondering why images are occasionally blurred.
- More bugs fixed, and general robustness improvements.

Special thanks to all contributors who made this release possible!

Tired of cheap chinese crap everywhere. Maybe people will start saving their money and actually buy good quality stuff locally— not made with Foxconn-style labour. Low time preference.

How are tariffs on china a bad thing in this sense? I get that it’s a lot more complicated, with iphones being assembled by foxconn and the complexities of the supply chain… but still, isn’t this directionally ok? Even if we have to pay a higher price?

I wonder if this interaction feed helps with initial onboarding.

1. You post to #introductions

2. You get some initial interactions from @Derek Ross welcoming you

3. You like or reply to their post

4. Then all of a sudden you have an initial derek feed even if you haven’t followed him

5. You look at notes and replies, and see derek chatting with a few people.

6. You open a few threads and like a few more posts.

7. Your feed starts to populate more from people who had posts you liked.

Seems like a nice organic way to onboard people who might not think about following?

We could use this interaction feed combined with the follow list if the user isn’t following many people at the start 🤔

#dave was going to be our april fools joke but the more I work on it the more I realize how amazing this is as an anonymous lightning LLM frontend. I totally went offroad and am 100% focused on making working on a prototype instead.

dave is the nostr assistant variant in damus, but there's no reason we couldn't have a standalone iphone/android app that uses this backend as well. starting to think this is a bigger product than damus itself.

taught dave the full nostr query language, so he can find any note type in any date range, on any relay.

this is a really cool way to interact with nostr, and its very intuitive.

once I have note rendering you will be able to click the notes directly and open them.

ig/tok is 90% ai generated content these days and its getting worse. The pages are completely automated, they just enter a prompt and then it will create a whole story, generate images, videos, etc.

the problem is the content is just interesting enough that it tends to get lots of attention in the algo just due to the sheer volume.

The attention economy is just becoming gamed, regurgitated content from language and diffusion models.

I don’t know how you can do development on this platform without absolutely dispising the company after a few attempts to deploy your code.

happy that we are free from apple so we can start innovating with freedom tech again.

can’t build new freedom tech in a jailed ecosystem that doesn’t want its users to be free, so that they can treat you like cattle to milk that 30% tax on all your in app transactions. Not the mention all of the horrific transaction privacy issues that arises from this.

I am not convinced we are “in a race” against people building existing solutions. they are racing to the same demise as previous platforms. Some of us are building slowly and methodically to avoid the issues of the past. Ignore high time preference shortcut takers, let’s do it right.

Doing it right is not just for “pro” users, it’s for everyone, and it will have a better experience.

imagine you're offline on a plane and want to get a bunch of work done:

You open notedeck and:

1. update a bunch of calendar events

2. reply to a few DMs

3. send a few kind1 shitposts

4. you send a few code patches to nostr and mark a few nostr git issues as resolved

You open your phone, all these changes get automatically synced via multicast on the airplane's wifi (even if there's no internet connection). You continue working from your phone.

You land and connect to the internet, all your work during the flight gets synced to the internet.

nostr will just be a better place to get work done and to have fun in a completely decentralized, local-first way for all your apps.

this is how we win.

The damus lightning node made $116 from routing $18,194 worth of payments this year. We also made $21,000 from lightning purple subscriptions, which helped paid a portion of daniel's salary (our only part-time employee).

It aint much, but it's a start. With purple, HRF, and OpenSats, Damus has been able to build out slowly without VC funds. Hopefully we can keep this up. I thought this was going to be our last year but the LTS funds kept the dream alive a little longer.

Clients have got a *lot* better, but we're still insanely early. nostr is going to continue to get better and better. People will continue getting deplatformed on bluesky, activitypub and the big tech silos. We are one of the few lines of defense against internet censorship and government tyranny, and the first large scale experiment that enables true value for value transfer
