THE NOSTR REPORT WEEKLY ROUNDUP April 21 - 28 April 21, 2023 #ZAPGATE View quoted note → Following the launch of #OnlyZaps feature for Damus beta testers, Will shares his thoughts on the goals that drive decisions about Damus features. “Damus’ goal from day one has always been to give individuals complete control over the types of interactions they want to have. Algorithms, users, and advertisers do not have authority over individual preferences.” Meanwhile Amethyst v0.34.0 is launched with NIP-94 support which will create a Kind 1063 event with a hash of the content of videos, images, and GIFs, on the regular feed and on chats/DMs. This was the beginning of the #clientwars due to image incompatibility issues which developed further during the week. Twitter continued its slow implosion by removing most of the blue check marks from the hundreds of thousands of accounts belonging to celebrities, journalists, and other public figures who had been verified by Twitter before Musk changed the rules. April 22, 2023 NOSTR + BITCOIN = FREEDOM View quoted note → The timechain finally made it back to 1 sat/vB despite a plethora of monke JPEGs and Bitcoin Magazine inscriptions. Argentina's central bank hiked the benchmark interest rate a sharper-than-expected 300 basis points after inflation soared past expectations in March to hit 104% on an annual basis. 🤯🤯 Bitcoin magazine releases *super rare inscription* of their new magazine cover on a totally special “uncommon” 2010 satoshi 🙄Such wow! April 23, 2023 MEET THE PARENTS View quoted note → Jack welcomes his parents Marcia and Tim to Nostr! View quoted note → The #clientwars saga continues with Will and Vitor discussing NIP-94 implementation on Nostr Nests, failing to reach a definitive compromise. Elon Musk and Twitter cave to pressure and restore blue checkmarks for users with highest follower counts without requiring them to pay $8/month.⛓️ Reminder, #Nostr is still free.🕊️ Jack surprised to learn that Twitter verifies once again that he is indeed jack. 🕺 Lyn Alden spins up a dank meme on the WEF's positive story about bitcoin mining’s ability to soak up stranded energy and capture otherwise-leaking methane. Meanwhile they make sure to call miners “data centers”. April 24, 2023 CLIENT WARS View quoted note → “Nostr is bigger than any of us or our projects. Act accordingly.” Verbicha The #clientwars again dominated the timeline with images posted by Amethyst users failing to render on other clients. Vitor reminds us that NIP-94 is an established protocol, however, FiatJaf notes that NIP-94 was not meant to be implemented in this way. Jack weighs in and says “Can’t we hash this one out? Everything has been so collaborative thus far.” Meanwhile, Will throws out the idea of Damus Android. The Damus relay gets cut off from the internet due to a DNS error due to domain registration ✂️, and Will realizes that it was actually Damus.io’s 1-year anniversary 🎉🥳 Happy five year anniversary to The Bitcoin Standard!

Bitcoin Legal Defense Fund – Legal Defense By The Bitcoin Community, For The Bitcoin Community

Twitter is now adding labels to tweets that have been flagged by the company to reduce their visibility, as part of their “freedom of speech, not reach” approach. According to Twitter, this reduced visibility based on their own criteria does not constitute censorship or shadowbanning. 🤨🤡 April 26, 2023 THERE’S SOMETHING ABOUT CASSIE View quoted note → “I've read about #nostr on twitter, and I thought no one was using it.” - New user Cassie takes Nostr by storm. But what are her intentions? Her quick grasp of the nostr protocol sounded off alarms for certain users, while others defended her wonderful sense of curiosity and wonderment with the new protocol. Either way, it was a welcomed distraction from the #clientwars. “I’m growing more and more concerned about the reliance on GitHub. And starting to think a bounty isn’t the right way to fund this work.” 🚨 Episode 34 of Bitcoin.Review is out. Nostr is Taking off! A Catch-up with NVK, FiatJaf, JB55, Pablo and Odell.

Now your images can be spread to as many or as few relays as you want.

April 27, 2023 VIEW FROM ABOVE View quoted note → Vitor announced that the official Google Play version of Amethyst will NOT have NIP-94 and NIP-95 enabled by default. The new features remain optional for users who wish to use it. 🤝 Spiral has issued to date, 70+ grants worth $7M+ to 40 grantees and 10 projects across 20+ countries. Earlier in the week, Walker dropped some impressive numbers from Primal that may not have been entirely accurate including: 475,000 users on #nostr, 598,000 #zaps sent, 84.2 #bitcoin zapped, 53.6 million public notes, and 97 million total events. Primal updated their methodology for estimating #zaps. Updated numbers put totals at ~6.924 BTC zapped with ~612,500 total zaps. Average of ~1,130 sats per #zap.
