 secp256k1 just because everyone else seems to hate it

because fuck you that's why

also, propose an adequate key succession/rollover scheme that enables stable identity and we are talking, otherwise, stop wasting your time 
 you seem like a happy person :) 
 i aspire to having a reputation like Wolfgang Pauli https://bigthink.com/hard-science/wolfgang-pauli/ or H. L. Mencken 

people need to hear hard words when hard words are what fits 
 You are failing miserably, I know smart harsh criticism when I see it, all you are saying is fuck you, that is not a truth that hurts... get gud. 
 I see, it has to be acknowledged when it's offensive to the target. Right.

No, you just seem myopic about the history of protocols and how worse is better and traction beats "better ideas" and you insist on getting into casting shade on what is powering your ability to even have the conversation.

There's just no point in trying to be polite with people who are so obviously incentivised to speak this way on this forum where nobody actually cares about you trying to take the weakest approach. You surely realise that nostr is too established to have a migration to your "better" protocol which no doubt makes tradeoffs that are going to hobble it like everything else everp 
 I was not trying to make the super established Nostr change, in fact I was answering a question of why not work within Nostr... and when I said it wouldn't have worked you said fuck you then told me that it wouldn't have worked 😅 

We are both in agreement 

 
 I've been watching nostr people in denial about how it's growth will come from commercial adoption while the essential feature of instant messaging is ignored and the stupid rhetoric about free as in beer and as soon as replyguy turns up people finally realise that nostr is fit for small, semi private but interconnected communities.

If you emphasise interoperability you will succeed. It is already a lot of friction onboarding and unless you guys actually solve that problem I'm staying skeptical and building my realy 
 Being sharp tounged is perfectly fine with me, just have something intelligent to say after you capture my attention with what you think is harsh...
