Token apology from VCs like Andreessen, buying silence to cover tracks of centralized control

Currently we are experiencing issues with our provider tryspeed.

If you are a customer, we apologize for the inconvenience as we don't know who you are, and so we have not idea who to give credits to.

We hope to resolve this matter as soon as possible. If you bought some credits recently, please reach out to @Pip the WoT guy on Signal.

We've collaborated with @Ray Buni so that our scores are correctly displayed on @profilestr.

Pagerank (either global or personalized) is a number between 0 and 1, so it's not obvious how to normalized it to 0-100, where 100 means very high reputation.

And we are back online.

We just moved our database to this new and optimize nostr-sqlite package.

As a Nostr dev, why should I use nostr:npub1kpt95rv4q3mcz8e4lamwtxq7men6jprf49l7asfac9lnv2gda0lqdknhmz #asknostr

Because it makes doing WoT as simple as publishing an event.

No impersonators, no spam, and better search.

Case in point with https://npub.world/

sorry I missed this message.

At the moment we don't offer this functionality, but we have RankProfiles, where you can request the rank of up to 1000 pubkeys in a single call.

https://vertexlab.io/docs/services/rank-profiles/

A similar idea would be to return a bitset containing all pubkeys whose rank is higher than a threshold according to an observer/source (for example using sort=personalizedPagerank and source=your npub).

What is the usecase that u have in mind?

It'd be neat if we had software relay operators could run that would crawl all npubs in their database (it could behave just like any other client requesting notes) and assign something like a "trust ...

Yes, clients do play a role against DoS attacks against users.
@Kayhan Sepanta I think was more concerned about DoS attacks against a relay

Vertex @Vertex 1747328947

reacting to spam is not going to work in an hostile network.
An attacker could simply spam with NIP-17, and when it starts to get rejected he simply change the public wrap.

Vitor Pamplona · 64w

Yep... I have been the target of multiple spam attacks involving 1000s of messages and even DoS attacks with DMs. But none of that made a dent in my DM experience on Amethyst. All attacks can be resolved from a client. None of them will ever be fully resolved by the relay. You can even keep a clie...

Kayhan Sepanta · 64w

makes sense. so, do you think clients can handle the spam/scam protection? i believe they can go with nostr:nprofile1qqstq4j6pk2sgaupru6l7ah9nq0dueafq356jllwcy7uzlek9yx7hlspz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd4...

NIP-17 as a vehicle for spam is very interesting. Any reputational metric requires to identify the sender/receiver, which is something that you don't want.

This is the ideal place for ecash I believe.

Vitor Pamplona · 64w

Clients should be able to file kind 1984 reports on the public wrap and you can then delete those wraps they reports. Clients can also ask you to delete a wrap that was addressed to them on a regular kind:9 deletion request. Hopefully over time we can build a client that simply helps users organi...
