@p i think splits are coded into it, so a server can choose to take a portion of the zap for funding. i never set it up and i think nostr and its bridges are cancer and we've dropped the existing ones because our staff doesnt have time to deal with the spam and the CSAM that crosses more than a dozen times was enough for me to stop allowing it
@graf I have not received any money; I did hear people tell me I was getting zaps. I imagine that this has been collected by the person running the gateway, and the gateway presents it as being a way to send BTC to me rather than to the operator of the gateway.
@p@graf If I remember correctly it should do nothing unless you have special ⚡ field in your bio with a link to an address.
However since only gleasonware supports it on the fedi side, it wouldn't surprise me if it is bugged in some way. And Nostr being mostly a scam haven, I would also expect it to be intentionally modified to be broken on the Nostr bridge side.
@Flick@phnt@p thats not why i am saying it will never take off -- nostr requires you to have a pub and a private key. you have to store both, and you need one to login anywhere you go -- its usually 128-256+ characters. nobody is going to remember that. they're not interested in logging in on one relay and having their shit seen by their friends and then taking it somewhere else and literally nobody knows who they are. the tech is sound but literally *nobody* will be using it. it's such a wasted investment of time and money. alex fucked all of us off for this because he got the tiniest sneeze of investment money. there is no future in nostr at all
Actually, the relay system is a terrible idea and this sort of thing has been tried before with exactly the results Nostr is currently seeing. It's a bottleneck. (They also botched the execution pretty badly if it's setting phones on fire.)

@Zergling_man@phnt@p@Flick I refuse to federate with nostr because it's a hotbed of spam and CSAM. my choice to not support alex in his endeavour into hosting child pornoraphy is not the same as my opinion on the service and you are retarded for likening the two
@Zergling_man@phnt@p@Flick alex billed rebased as the always updated and patched pleroma. my issue with alex is he took all the help we gave him, including multiple free code audits to fix pleroma and he dropped it for acouple thousand dollars to develop something literally nobody wants
@ARD0xjNVGoRHiFChQu.graf@poa.st@Flick@p@phnt No, it's your opinion on nostr that bothers me. You're deciding you don't like it not based on its own merits but on what normies are going to think of it.
@Tony@p@graf@Flick The keys are a problem. A problem that can be managed.
What can't be managed is the constant spam and the intentional inability to properly moderate the network coupled with how easy it is to spin up new keys. Nostr feels like if you made every spam email ever sent public and viewable on a timeline.
@phnt@Tony@p@Flick Nobody is going to bother man. Nostr is a problem looking for a solution. Taking logins and passwords from users means you lose almost 100% of users right out of the gate. There isn't a person on earth that is going to download a password manager to log into a new "social media" site. Not happening. Stupid, incredibly stupid
@graf@Tony@p@Flick Well the people that bothered are also the ones that don't mind crypto address strings and such, so they managed to create their own niche which can be good or bad depending on the point of view.
Will it ever come out of its own niche "market" and become something more popular rivaling fedi? Zero chance because of its many flaws and the refusal to learn from past mistakes. Heck, even mimicking something resembling a social media site sort of goes against what Nostr was supposed to be. Ditto is a hack to make a client-relay-client network seem more like a fedi instance with its own community.
@Zergling_man@p@Flick@phnt when you see someone you know passing by and they say "hey how are you" do you stop and give a full status update instead of saying "good" too

These aren't formal contracts, he's not signing a bill into law, it's a very informal conversation. So I see that and I read something that resembles all the other stuff he has said. This sounds more like you're not actually reading his post at all, and just assuming what he has meant, regardless of what was written. Call me crazy, but I write what I mean, instead of what I don't mean, so that when people read it, they will see the thing I mean and not something else.
>Nobody wants to have a conversation that works that way, though. I dunno I am a fan of conversing by actually reading what people write and assuming that they have meant what they have written. Probably relatedly, I do not like tsunderes.
I do not think so. I don't think I'm going to convince you that someone else meant something else when they said something and I don't think it's useful.
> Look at that post, he says, in brief,
This is the issue. You can pick a piece out, but I talk to the guy every day. These aren't formal contracts, he's not signing a bill into law, it's a very informal conversation. So I see that and I read something that resembles all the other stuff he has said. We're looking at the same post, and if you are really interested in parsing the words that finely and treating it as a precise and isolated statement, sure, it's possible to take that meaning. Nobody wants to have a conversation that works that way, though.
I call people "bots" a lot and people that I talk to a lot know that I mean the person behaves closely enough that they may as well be a bot, and people that don't read it that way will say "You think he's a chatbot! I'm sitting right next to him, he's not a bot!" and they don't get what I mean and it's fine. Take it literally enough, treat it like an isolated statement, and calling someone a bot is factually incorrect, but I use it figuratively often enough that most people get my meaning.
So I saw the same post you did, but I read something different.
> And I am saying the last point is wrong.
I'm onboard with that, but Poast runs for people that use Poast; it has to work the way it works or the people on it are frustrated, and whatever you think of the people on it, graf committed to running a service, and he takes Poast pretty seriously as a commitment, and I think that's a good way to run a service.
> Do you think the post is not saying that? Do you think the last point is right?
I don't like catering to normies but if I had started Poast, I'd try to make sure I kept up the commitment to operate Poast as Poast. I don't want to host loli but because I have agreed to import bae.st into Revolver, I'll be hosting a lot of loli; luckily for me, I'm not "hosting" it in the traditional sense, but I agreed to what I agreed to and I'm going to stick to it.
> it is frustrating to see you stubbornly not understanding me.
I don't think I've misunderstood you, just I don't think you and graf are communicating effectively.
@p@817148c3690155401b494580871fb0564a5faafb9454813ef295f2706bc93359@Flick@phnt I read that. I understood it. At what point have I indicated otherwise? Maybe in my original post, but I think it was very clear what I was referring to. And then when graf misunderstood it, I clarified, very explicitly, that I am not referring to that.
>I don't think we're gonna get anywhere Maybe not, and that's entirely on your side. Graf gets angry at me regularly, so him not reading what I write is unsurprising, but apparently you are doing it too. Look at that post, he says, in brief, that: 1) nostr relies on key management 2) which is hard for normies 3) and that's bad And I am saying the last point is wrong.
Do you think the post is not saying that? Do you think the last point is right? I don't know, but I would like to get to the bottom of this because it is frustrating to see you stubbornly not understanding me.
Here it is, without the bit that I wasn't responding to, the bit where he went back to shitting on Gleason: >thats not why i am saying it will never take off -- nostr requires you to have a pub and a private key. you have to store both, and you need one to login anywhere you go -- its usually 128-256+ characters. nobody is going to remember that. they're not interested in logging in on one relay and having their shit seen by their friends and then taking it somewhere else and literally nobody knows who they are. the tech is sound but literally *nobody* will be using it. it's such a wasted investment of time and money.
@dcc@Flick@Tony@graf@phnt The MRF is there to get mostr.pub to start fetching more posts and user accounts from FSE; that's where the trolling happens.
ssh poast psql update users set name = 'dude that thinks linux is 1337', bio = 'This retarded cracker probably uses Ubuntu or Kali or something.' where nickname = 'Dirty_Thirty';
@p@Flick@b3f585f3e038f1dccdfaf2d7a1449a418605c392cd33ba7f137bca24842f5f90@phnt I would like to get somewhere with it. But it seems pretty clear to me that when graf writes about hating nostr because key management makes it normie-unfriendly, that he hates nostr because key management makes it normie-unfriendly. You're saying that's not the case, maybe you are right. But that then leaves the question of why he wrote about hating nostr's key management. That is where progress can be made. But he will not answer me and I am guessing you don't know. So, again, it's not stalled here.
> This sounds more like you're not actually reading his post at all, and just assuming what he has meant,
I'm reading it in the context of all of the conversations I have had with him over the years. If I use the "bot" example again, when someone sees me tell someone "You're a bot" and they read "You are functionally indistinguishable from a bot" rather than "I believe you to be a computer program", would you say they haven't read my post, or that they understand what I mean? I've been rambling about persimmons lately, and I sometimes say "pomegranate" when I mean to say "persimmon", and I say "Hey, do you want a pomegranate?" and the woman says "Yes" and then isn't surprised when I toss a persimmon at her.
> actually reading what people write
Yeah, but if they clarify and you say "But here's where you said the thing!" then it's being obtuse.
@p@Flick@817148c3690155401b494580871fb0564a5faafb9454813ef295f2706bc93359@phnt This goes well beyond slip of tongue or common shorthand. If you're trying to tell me that graf doesn't actually hate things having key management, or that he doesn't hate things being anti-normie, and that he went on a rant about key management in nostr being anti-normie when he meant to complain about CSAM instead, I think it is extremely reasonable for me to doubt you. And then instead of telling me that he didn't actually mean that, he insulted me and muted me. Figure that out.
@hakui@Flick@b3f585f3e038f1dccdfaf2d7a1449a418605c392cd33ba7f137bca24842f5f90@p@phnt I'm making a ring menu, and although I'll put icons in the slots later (probably), in the meantime I'm just colouring each slice. I want it to only display as many slices as it has, and that's relatively straightforward if I give it a list of colours, but that implies a cap. I wonder how I could make it go to arbitrary precision... ... Technically I only need two colours. Maybe I will just loop through them as much as I need.
So angry that I spent an hour and a half mostly ignoring the thread because I was busy playing games with friends that actually play games with me. So angry that I reply calmly to everyone, including those who are quite blatantly trying to rile me up.
Very, very angry.
I dunno, maybe I should just turn the jeetshaker back on. You're all wrong and too stubborn to admit it, 🤷, you're going to continue insisting I'm wrong, about things I haven't actually said. I just wonder why.
you're dropping down to the level of lefties going "why did they vote for trump? no, it's not because of the economy, that's just them trying to gaslight us, it's clearly because they're all nazis", but that's on you, not on autism itself
