I just finished up writing the indexing jobs for search. The big items that are left:
  1. backend/api for querying
  2. database triggers to queue index jobs on item create/updates
  3. frontend
  4. deploying - this one I'm dreading the most

Problem with Lightning Address configuration?
In CoinOS I tried to send to this (cryptocoin@stacker.news) account, ... CoinOS then shows:
Payment to 127.0.0.1 Funding @cryptocoin on stacker.news
Then if I attempt to send, I see
connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:8080
Similar when sending from my BlueWallet (which connects to lndhub.io).

Yep, used the wrong environment variable in the callback url. Pushing an update now.
Thanks for reporting!

The new elastic search license is poo poo.

These should be weekly threads imo. Just to encourage things like questions to get responses before the post gets buried

I can do that. I do feel like we easily 'lose' prior days conversations.

Had a convo with @erickuhn19 today about DIDs and it made me more bullish on them than I was prior. Then had a convo with @supertestnet where he was bearish. I'm way more curious about using them now in the context of a decentralized SN.
reply
what capacity would you use DIDs in? which implementation of them? have a link?
reply
We would use whichever standard we thought best.
Warning: DIDs in wide scale use, at least the way I understand them, are early and my understanding is fetal.
It would be the method users would authenticate themselves with and potentially store any data associated with their identity in some supporting wallet. Base case though is just an auth method.
afaict they are an identity/data layer with an associated protocol that's agnostic to the wallet storing the id/data and the application retrieving the id/data.

do slashtags use dids? I think slashtags are a cool idea but I'm a bit bearish that anyone will want to implement them. I talked with the lnurl folks about bringing my favorite slashtags feature into lnurl, which is that a server where you've authenticated your device can store a message for your public key, and your device can notify you if it sees a message for your public key on that server. That's a cool feature and the lnurl folks seem to think so too, so that might come to lnurl. That kind of two-way communication between a client and a server could lead to hosting data about yourself on your device and providing it to servers in a user-controlled way. I like that idea.
reply
Yeah, slashtags are a DID system afaik.

Should you get notified when someone replies to a reply to you?
Currently, you only get notified for direct replies.
reply
I would also like to be notified... not even for engagement, but I'm likely interested in that reply.
reply
would vote yes initially as it might drive more conversation engagement I think. When traffic 10x's it might get noisy and could consider adjusting the tolerance for notifications.
