So, yet another stupid PR campaign playing out in real time. Promoting a project that has connections to keet.io and tether.com To an audience that is generally skeptical and hostile to fiat VC shenanigans. Really, I'm just seeing noise in my feed and everyone engaging with it is falling off my follows. This is why I have a smol follow list - too many people are prone to giving the benefit of the doubt but hey, at least most here are aware of the doubt. #nostronly for the same reason I'm a #bitcoin and #golang maxi. Not one single case in history of VC funded protocols being anything but a fad and eventually a dumpster fire. And in every case companies fund work on open protocols with extremely loose decisionmaking processes and permissionless - or simply tech that makes it easy to build real, disruptive businesses. Nover need the amount of marketing these things involve. I have a rule - if it needs advertising, it ded. Sooner or later.

> Not one single case in history of VC funded protocols being anything but a fad and eventually a dumpster fire. Valid point haha. Also thought of you when I saw the majority of the repos being all in Rust 😹 .

Pkarr was used by 2 external teams before it was used internally in pubky, in fact before the name pubky was chosen. Good ideas don't need much advertisement, but they definitely deserve advocacy. If you know you have a good idea, reach out to smart people and tell them about it. I get paid whether or not I talk about my work here... I just enjoy talking about it for anyone who would listen. If you don't want people to hear about your work, work on something different.

IDK why I'm still seeing this nostr:nprofile1qqs0vtr95kl6eyvckdr3ysqp9nes7c23hycx5ece2h0flc8rmyvxn9qpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzv9hxgtcvuher7 This is why I prefer my desktop app which respects my wish to not see stupid hipsterlang, gay name project promoting smarmy shitheads like this one. Whoever was in charge of deciding the name will be fired. The name is gay. Rust is gay. Mozilla has a shit JavaScript engine and is paying so much money to shitcoins to use their shit language. And what fucking freedom are they promoting? The freedom to be nagged everytime someone posts a drm enabled media link and no way to disable the nag, and this thing literally stops you taking screenshots. Keep bugging me and I will start to find a reason to really dig up who you are.
