experimenting with a lexicon for crypto address verifications. it uses eip.tools/eip/7930 for cross-chain compatibility and supports smart contract accounts

only tested with ethereum so far

Social might actually be the least interesting use case for PDSes (in a good way)

I yearn for a <input type="handle" /> every time I want to oauth into an atproto app

Is there a lexicon for verifying ownership of an ethereum address? cc @boscolo.co

when private storage gets added to PDSes you could easily see it becoming a core internet primitive on the level of email today. a portable data backpack

learnt a bit about atproto today by extending the statusphere example to do some indexing!

now when you log in, it backfills statuses from everyone you follow

github: github.com/stephancill/...

try it statusphere.steer.fun

Global spam filters are a bit of a cop out imo. They give you the worst of both worlds
- when they’re too aggressive they frequently result in false positives
- when they’re too lax they’re not very useful

The reality is that spam is relative and our content filters should reflect that

thoughtful blog post about blogging's place in the modern social stack. love the party analogy

I love that atproto is taking privacy seriously

Besides surveillance, I’m pretty sure nobody wants everything they say and do to be free for all to use in training AI

What is the latest on private accounts on atproto?

is there a discussion about bringing mini apps to bluesky? who should i follow?

mini app integration into bluesky could be as simple as being able to launch an iframe, providing an sdk for automatically logging users in, and allowing apps to send notifications!

Have there been any discussions of miniapps inside Bluesky? Similar to telegram/wechat/farcaster

Access to social graph supercharges these use cases

idea: a PDS smart contract wrapped in an interchangeable web interface

Kinda funny that we managed to convince millions of people to join a decentralised social protocol with side effects that they were totally unaware of just because they dislike Elon Musk

AT Proto is ngmi if nonsense ideologies cloud its technical decision making ability

What do people use to save/bookmark atproto posts?
November 15, 2024 at 3:35 AM
how has atproto/bsky dealt with spam?
November 4, 2024 at 12:53 PM
bsky.app's ui is very snappy, i like

is it possible for me to sign an arbitrary message with a key associated with my bluesky account such that a third party can independently verify that the message was signed by me?

best crypto-forward accounts to follow on bluesky?
