zap with an emoji the emoji that collected the most sats is displayed next to the post tap it (or mouse over it on the desktop) and see the bar chart for all the emoji zaps
@k00b, I propose the same for @sn

Here's two of the ideas I've been working on recently:
  • A browser that can create/view HTML documents stored on Nostr relays. The resulting webpages would be very censorship resistant, because the documents would be stored across multiple relays. Something like server-side scripting is feasible as well.
  • Command and Control via Nostr, pwnat, and SSH. You setup a remote computer (e.g. a server) to periodically check a list of Nostr relays. When you want to connect to the remote machine, you'd have your local client would send a message via Nostr to the remote machine. The two machines would connect via SSH to each other, getting around NAT via pwnat.
If anyone sees the above and wants to implement either idea, please contact me. There are critical security considerations that must be done correctly in order to avoid screwing over your users.

are you working on NIPs for that?

For the C&C idea, I haven't started on a NIP yet. I only thought of it today.
For the HTML browser idea, I am working on two NIPs, since there are two inter-connected protocols needed. I have written most of one NIP, but I have only barely started on the other NIP. Also, I have started programming a first implementation, but it's nowhere near functional yet.

What about making that browser render pages written in markdown? Focus on the pure pages and content only and then browser is responsible for rendering that nicely, adding comment sections, allowing highlighting (&sharing of highlights), etc.
It allows the individual browsing the pages to have the experience they want - do you want to see zaps? Do you want to see comments? Do you want to prefetch and inline links? Do you want to see content side by side? Do you want to see links as a gallery? Do you want to run autotranslation? etc...
This would also fit nicely with the nostr protocol and make it cheap to serve markdown "content only" pages (vs 10s of MBs of html and JS to see a stupid ad).
I still think the gemini protocol (e.g. with the Lagrange browser) is really interesting and it would be ideal for Nostr...

Prediction Markets. Been working on a NIP for some days now.

personal relays for storing the data of DMs. Read-only relays meant primarily for a chosen group to publishing to audiences. An encryption methodology for transmitting secret messages and not revealing either the publisher or the audience. Drop-box relays meant to store a message until the recipient retrieves it. Nostr could replace E-mail, no? Nostr could replace retail ecommerce, no? Nostr could replace Internet of Things, no? I could go on and on.
Nostr could replace newpaper journalism. Why use substack when you could publish to a private relay which allows a v4v exchange, or charges per event consumed.

  • Social agregator alternative in Nostr (Reddit, Digg, Slashdot..)
  • SSO with Nostr for Discourse forum platform.
  • Discord alternative in Nosrtr

What about a changable password over the seedkey for avoiding the chance of your account been stolen if by mistake someone have your key ?

I'd like to see super-well executed micro-apps for every basic entity in the protocol, like badges.page and where listr is heading. Not just a basic UI quickly put together, but well-thought out and feature-rich focused apps.

My idea is to have something that plebs can use to batch transactions. I floated it here.
Well, nostr is actually not a strong requirement for this. But it could be a nice to leverage all the network effects it already has. Maybe something like NIP-28 could be used to post PSBTs in a public channel.
The main objective here is just to shave this 5 to 7% tx overhead, not so much gain in privacy. But some privacy might be gained, depending on the amounts involved. Plus we screw even more Chainalysis' common input heuristic.
Also note that 5% overhead can sound as very little, but not if you're seeing 300 sats/vbyte right?

I think we should have personal relays that periodically connect to any other relays to gather notes (and other things) from the people you follow. Then your client connects to your relay to get a large dump of updates. This should be easier on your phone, for one. The other benefit is you being able to keep archived backups of things you're interested in (bookmarks, etc). It can also run local AI systems to moderate content before showing it to you. You can configure this AI to create a personalized feed and block things of your choice. I think it can help solve the human moderation problem.

Your entry won the ticket to Bitcoin 2023. Send me your email and I will send/assign you the ticket.

I can’t go - 🫤
And I’m not going to resells the ticket and buy more bitcoin either - cuz that’d be lame.
Thanks so much, though!
