Or these people could simply be using something other than nostr, precisely because it does’t suit their needs.

Remember when Snowden (npub1sn0…jdv9) last posted anything here? Or that thread when someone pointed out every way in which nostr failed independent journalists reporting from shitholes?

Sane key management is not a niche, it is a basic feature of every PKI. When you ask that a user pastes a secret that is supposed to be their personal identity into a vibe coded app and tell them “btw you can’t revoke, rotate or otherwise upgrade the security of this” (in other words, there is no “password reset”, no social recovery whatsoever) you are not being serious.

And to be fair not even inkan fills all the checkboxes: implying that an airtight environment and full self custody addresses some of the problems, but not all of them.

Nuh (npub1jvx…7yqz) also has designed an identity system, which seems to address the onboarding problem much more effectively, but I don’t know exactly how it works to make a fair comparison.

Still, whenever you ask client developers about proper key management, some will answer that they “don’t care about their identity because they only use it for shitposting”, claiming that generating a new keypair is cheap etc.

So there is demand and you even have some people willing to work into these kind of problem but you also have a huge inertia problem coming from widespread client implementations, which would much rather take the easy path of handing nsecs over to big tech.

Maybe the nostr’s fate is to be a way to relay info between machines: FIPS discovery, ephemeral agent communication and “other stuff”. But when that happens, the stubborn fucks will claim that it is the people’s fault for being “too normie” and “not understanding nostr”.

_________________________

This is completely wrong. There is no “last writer wins” in CRDTs, you’ve got to give up that CRUD mentality.

Stuffing all your followings into a single “follow list” event is the problem. CRDT fixes that because it persists a history of intents.

Imagine you are dealing with a monotonically increasing counter. You have two options to derive that counter:
A. Emit a state event with the current count every time it increases
B. Emit a increase counter event then derive the counter state by adding all the events

There is not enough context with A to converge into an unambiguous state automatically, that is why clients like Nostur have to ask what you want to do when they detect something “strange” happened.

It is also the reason why keeping an history of follow lists is a pointless exercise.

_________________________

From https://crdt.tech/

> Conflict-free Replicated Data Types (CRDTs) are used in systems with optimistic replication, […] CRDTs ensure that, no matter what data modifications are made on different replicas, the data can always be merged into a consistent state. This merge is performed automatically by the CRDT, without requiring any special conflict resolution code or user intervention.
> Moreover, an important characteristic of CRDTs is that they support decentralised operation: they do not assume the use of a single server, so they can be used in peer-to-peer networks and other decentralised settings. In this regard CRDTs differ from the algorithms used by Google Docs, Trello, and Figma, which require all communication between users to flow via a server.

Practical example: instead of republishing a follow list every time I follow or unfollow someone, I make a follow event with the npub I am interested in following (or unfollowing). Then my client can compute the follow list locally, from the follow and unfollow events.

Suppose that I follow someone from a desktop client but the event did not propagate to every relay I use and/or my phone has been disconnected from the internet for a long time and/or it can only connect to the other half of relays etc and I decided to follow someone, it is just an event.
When connectivity normalizes or you sync your phone with your computer directly over bluetooth (amethyst) or FIPS (nostr vault), they will accept each other’s follow events and converge into the same computed follow list - all without special casing, conflict resolution code (like nostur has) and overall it has less complexity and more guarantees than the proposed “event chains”.

I also suppose it would make calculating follow counts easier (rather than inspecting an unbound number of follow lists you could just request follow/unfollow events filtered by npub).

There's no such thing as a stupid question.

I believed that. I really did.

Then I onboarded my buddy to Nostr.

**Minute 1:** "So what's my username?"

It's npub1 followed by 59 random characters.

"Cool. How do people find me?"

They don't, Kevin.

**Minute 4:** "What's this nsec thing?"

Your private key. Never share it with anyone. Ever.

"Got it. I texted it to you so you'd have a backup."

**Minute 8:** "Okay, so what's the password reset process?"

There isn't one.

"That's not very professional."

**Minute 12:** "Which relay is the main one?"

There isn't one.

"So who's in charge?"

Nobody.

"Who do I report bugs to?"

Reality.

**Minute 15:** "Why did a stranger just send me 21 sats?"

That's a zap. He liked your post.

"My post just says 'test.'"

Yes.

Frankly, it's one of the better posts today.

**Minute 19:** "Why is everyone obsessed with Bitcoin?"

That's actually one of the less weird things you'll see.

**Minute 23:** "Why is every profile picture a frog, a goat, a guy holding a fish, a guy with a rifle, or a guy holding a goat while holding a fish?"

I didn't have an answer for that one.

**Minute 28:** "This guy's bio says he's building the future."

What's he building?

"No idea."

Correct.

**Minute 33:** "Why does everyone know each other?"

They don't.

They just argue with the same 40 people every day.

**Minute 37:** "Why is everyone on here so weird?"

Kevin.

You just spent 37 minutes learning how to use a censorship resistant decentralized social protocol so strangers can send you internet pennies for posting the word "test."

Ask yourself that question again.

Onboarding is difficult. You won't find Kevin here. Not because he couldn't figure it out.Because at some point I quietly decided that was the best possible outcome.

Consider this proposed workaround for the repeating pattern of follow lists being nuked:

Someone came up with an implementation of that idea a few hours later:

Serial killer relay

A Nostr relay implementing NIP-EC — relay-enforced linear event chains.

(Aka a way to make it impossible to accidentally wipe a follow list or break state accidentally)

Cc calle (npub12rv…85vg)

From my perspective CRDTs (or something similar) are the obvious solution for this kind of problem (it could also help with the long standing problem of follower count), but that sounds complex and complex is scary.

Somehow, a half-baked mitigation at the relay level is perceived as a good solution because it can be hacked into existing infrastructure without much changes, which in turn actually increases the complexity without giving a proper return.

Nostr “simplicity” is deceiving. It can only afford to stay simple so long as it does not work.

Distributed systems are hard, but now you sold a hard system for people who want to brute force their way out of problems with “simple” solutions that only make the system more brittle and unreliable.

And don’t forget to check the checksum, because some blossom servers like to serve a 404 image instead of the file you requested.

This is severely annoying because some clients stop checking other servers for the media because they think they already have the media.

It also means that a malicious blossom server could plant media you didn’t upload and many clients just trust instead of verifying, so yeah.
