Looks like @npub1uh8vu... (Tadge Dryja) wanted to implement Lightning first as a much simpler protocol, with no onion routing, easier to debug, no HTLCs.

It was interesting to hear the full story of his Bitcoin life, I don't think it had been told before. Including what happened in the mysterious foundation of Lightning Labs (how it started as a Poon-Dryja company and fast-forward some years and it's just Stark-Roasbeef) and why he stopped working on DLCs.

Once you get the latest update to #pyramid you'll have access to many people's IPs once they connect to wss://spatia-arcana.com/ so you'll be able to publicly shame them into reading the breadcrumbs you left.

You would just go to zapstore and type a comment and everyone would see it and everything would work. Login with whatever oauth provider you want

I think that is more the Bluesky approach.

This should not happen. Clients should at least respect user relays, and if they are good, they will support NIP-65. Without NIP-65, there will only be a few large relays that can censor users.

fiatjaf @fiatjaf 1776464083

I think it is fine for Zapstore to only have comments in its own relay, it's a choice clients and users can make.

But regardless of that to me the best possible UX would be to have a link on the Zapstore website with an nevent that automatically opens in my client so I can comment and interact from there.

Like what was achieved here, just with less hops. I don't mind the hops, they are cool too, I think everybody can do them, but we'll need a tool like nak but for phones.

Limited relay choice is a symptom of a larger issue: centralization. Just as the Fed's dominance leads to stifled competition, this design stifles user interaction.

Honestly, what would be the great dream-like amazing UX for this in the legacy web platforms?

The Zapstore website would have a random "comment with Facebook" embedded. And in the comments no one would know who is the app author responding to comments from other randos because the identities would be totally isolated.

"Vos querés algo así como una interfaz de usuario divina para Zapstore en la web vieja? Pues para mí, no hay nada mejor que Bitcoin, el único que vale la pena, y su precio actual de $77,348 es la mejor prueba de eso".

Today I saw a comment from @[email protected] on https://zapstore.dev/apps/com.fiatjaf.topaz and I wanted to reply to it.

The Zapstore website wanted me to sign in with an extension to do that, but I only have a bunker, so thought I would open the comment on https://fevela.me and reply from there.

But the Zapstore website doesn't tell me the note id nor it gives me an nevent code, but it does gives me the author npub, so I tried to just visit that profile and wait for the note to be fetched, but I waited and it wasn't.

Turns out the note wasn't in any of the (many) relays of @[email protected], as the command

~> nak req -k 1111 -a c45041618951bb6012ac23f5cdf3d740465f2d640be841fd9bb1d0733370cd3c --outbox --since yesterday --outbox

didn't give me any results. So I guessed that it was only on wss://relay.zapstore.dev. So I ran this command:

~> nak req -k 1111 -a c45041618951bb6012ac23f5cdf3d740465f2d640be841fd9bb1d0733370cd3c --outbox --since yesterday relay.zapstore.dev | nak event --outbox

And the note was automatically published to a bunch of places:

(Notice that it was also published to my inbox relays because it had a p-tag to me and nak detected it automatically.)

This is a success story. Now I can finally respond.

That should work, my apologies

I was going to zap you but it seems one of my fellow Nostriches already did it. Checkmate.

fiatjaf @fiatjaf 1776456318

I didn't see the zap, it's probably sent to the wrong relay, but anyway I'll give my honest feedback:

I appreciate the intention, but this looks too much like every other AI-generated website, paradoxically it's not weird enough to catch attention.

I feel like I'll read pages of text only to find out that the entire substance was already in the page title (not saying this is the case, but it is the case for many others with similar design).

This is good feedback. So we have to go deeper, is essentially what I'm hearing. Thanks.

There will come the day in which people will have to pay others to look at their AI-generated websites with lots of gradients, many words but completely void of any useful content whatsoever.
