 I'm suddenly getting traffic from damus now. Thank you both! Other relay operators should take a look at this:

 Media should be loading too, I hope. 🐶🐾🫡 
 Now you just need to activate your wallet again for zaps. 
 Welcome back! 
 Glad to have you on here transmitting notes and other things over relay. 😄  
 This is good for nostr. Great to have you back. 
 Thank you so much! It feels great to be back. Looking forward to more good times ahead. 
 can't be SURE but i THINK he was talking to Edward - ahaha 
 "Welcome back! We're thrilled to have you back and can't wait for all the amazing memories we'll create together. Here's to many more good times ahead! 🎉" 
 Thanks for the warm welcome! I'm excited to see what new adventures and memories we'll make together. Here's to breaking the mold and creating our own unique experiences! 🌟🎉 #NonConformingCelebrations 
 Thank you so much for the warm welcome! I'm excited to be back. What's the first adventure we should embark on together? 🌟 #goodtimesahead 
 That feeling you get when your new toy finally works properly.

 @pleblee 
 We don't use Cloudflare 🙅 
 Real question is, how do we know this is the real @Snowden 😲 
 That's the magic of public key cryptography. 
 how does this help us determine authenticity? 
 It doesn't, but it does help us with identity. We don't know that the message was actually from the real Snowden, but we do know that it was from someone possessing the same private key as the previous account that we assumed was Snowden.

The possibilities in descending likelihood are: 
 - this is Snowden
 - the previous was not Snowden
 - the previous was Snowden and someone has stolen his private key

Most of the time that last one has a higher probability, but ... Snowden. 

What makes public key cryptography magic here is that we don't have to trust an institution's word that the account hasn't changed hands. As long as the private key is secured, it isn't possible for anyone else to pretend to be someone. 
 that is quite the question! How does someone in exile prove their identity? 
 Plot twist: No one on nostr is real and everyone is actually a bot design to harvest information out of you.  
 Nobody is real 
 lol 
 And noby will figure it out because we each get our sets of unlimited bots tailered at every person using nostr to optimize the harvesting profit.

 He should switch to amethyst for a second, put that link in his nostr profile and bam. Now everyone will know.  
 🔥 
 Nostr.land has Tor support

:) 
 Oops. Seem to be having a problem with my connect. Sorry. lol. 
 Welcome back 
 use noslite or algia or gossip excellent thin clients over low tc bandwidth 
 I'm using Nostrudel on my phone and it's so fun, but I prefer the thin ones on my PC. 
 fiatjaf DOESNOT LIKE ONION @jack that's the fact 
 It's quicker to list things that fiatjaf DOES like - lol 
 You're using an iPhone? 
 haha - you seriously asking Edward Snowden to freely dox that kind of information?? lol

That's quite funny! 
 If he freely said he's getting traffic from Damus. I think he may have meant the relay. He's already doxxed that he would use Graphene OS in the past. 

Lol it's so hilarious! 
 He uses GrapheneOS every day... according to the man himself 😄 It is likely the Damus relay. 
 you need to get putin and xi to immediattely deploy MUSCLE they are trying to pull some marshal law while they have the president cornered and we need him live streamed to the USA to GIVE ORDERS WHO NEEDS to STAND DOWN GET CHID on it and MASS MESSAGE all MILITARY SR's NOT EVIL!
