Let's say there is a company whose sole purpose is to evaluate relay operators and offer relay list recommendations to the best ones. How much would you pay for that service?…

Pro Tip: if you are in Boston and see a Southern-style restaurant... Don't go.…

Lol. Few.…

Today's P2P Nostr using phone-running Relays trough Tor in production apps (works with no hacks) will be remembered as a key milestone in Nostr's history.…

There is still a 1 second ping to access somebody else's relay running on their phone... So don't get too excited. Just mildly pumped.…

Last year, I coded many hole punch designs to test P2P DMs on Amethyst. Many somewhat worked but with centralized constraints and huge maintenance costs. Now Orbot and Citrine just come in, show a few buttons and boom. Done. 😎…

I name this for the post of the year.…

People using Amethyst over Tor, do you perceive any slowdown when loading things? Tor is technically a lot slower, but I can't see any difference when browsing on Amethyst. If no one notices, maybe we should enable this by default.…

When you think about how the Internet is just networks allowing trusted computers into their network, it's petty shocking to see how far we have scaled this. It's the ultimate pyramid scheme.…

How to run Citrine's relay on your phone and allow other people to connect into it to download your posts directly from your phone via Tor 🤯🤯…

I would still be trying to make DIDs work. Fuck that.…

Everytime I hear Brian Armstrong, I feel like he is trapped in 2018. He still talks about blockchaining everything (land, votes, tickets, etc) as if none of these things have been tried and failed miserably.…

I have to find a way to prioritize issues raised by those who Zapped the Devs. 🤔…

Your inbox and outbox relays are for your followers, not for you. I know, 🤯 The list tells your followers where to get your posts. Not where your app should send/receive yours. So, the smaller the list the better. Your app should have an additional setting, separate from the Inbox/

What scares me in Brazil's X ban is how overly broad the wording in the judge's decision is: "Internet providers, on behalf of their presidents (makes it personal legal liability), must add technological obstacles (literally anything) capable of making the use of X unfeasible."

If you don't have a home, Amethyst will scatter your posts to the General Relays. It doesn't guarantee your followers will see your posts, but it is better than nothing. Defaults are very centralizing. Everyone should investigate and choose their own home relays.…
