 how cool is it that we are all coordinating and communicating in a public space using cryptography and no-one can stop us. it's a subtle thing you tend to forget while shitposting and having fun, but it's still pretty mind blowing to me. 
 And we can pay each other with intermediaries too! 
 how is this real 
 I know, just today I got my ⚡️node up and running 🤙 
 I meant without 😅 
 Loving it. Exciting times. Creating democracy in data. Let's build 🌐 #nostr 
 Freedom in data ... 

Democracy robs freedom of choice from minorities and from individuals. You don't want democracy. What you want is unalienable rights and individual free agency, which democracy cannot oppress. 
 Fully agree. Democracy from a governing perspective does not work.  
 Mind blowing 🤯  
 IT’S PRETTY COOL 
 Bitcoin blew my gasket, nostr blew my mind! 
 blew my head!   scuse 
 nostr 
 🎯🦅 
 Except they can stop us easily.

Nostr has zero privacy in its current form.

Nodes are vulnerable to CIA/Fee CP attacks.

Significantly more needs to be done. 
 whatever that means 
 You know exactly what it means.

Until our IPs are freely in the ether and until we are able to mask nodes this is an easily stoppable protocol. 
 there are tor hidden service nodes already 
 Do you direct Damus to them by default? 
 will happen automatically when we get autopilot working 
 Thanks for the info 🙏

 That was a knockout. 

Will = 1
CensorThis = 0 

Nothing more needs to be said. 
 It’s not a fight dickhead 
 I’m sensitive about my D.H. 

You are right. It want a fight. It was education. I learned something in that exchange. 
I apologize. 
 🎯 
 Getting in trouble for doing unlicensed cryptology soon. At least we're having fun. 
 Or being automatically blocked doing same by the ISP, mandated by government. That's one of my biggest concerns regarding the future of free communication and money. 
 I am going to be the first that's blocked then. My ISP only sees one connection. 
 Yup. Very cool. 
 W 
 So cool. 
 Hi , hi , I sent you a dm can you please read it, thanks 
 Hi can you follow me I promise to be misbehave 
 It still brings me joy. This is the way the Internet was meant to be. 
 😎✌️ 
 I like it even more now 
 :nostrich: :monero_white:  cypherpunk 
 When X has its legs chopped off people will flood to nostr in search of somewhere to speak freely without censorship. 
 Shit shit 💩 
 It’s really cool 
 Curious about something: is nostr active in China rn? I know it was some point.

CCP + GFW( + DPI) has always been the final boss of uncensorability 😄
 
 💯💜🧡 
 Will Special thanks to you for connecting Nostr to Bitcoin. 🙏🫡 
 was no biggie 
 💯 
 Exactly! It's wild when you stop to think about it—decentralized, unstoppable communication powered by cryptography. True freedom in action!  
 Let’s fuckijg goooo!!! 
 Nod! 
 again!? 
 To your post. 
And nope not again. 

Blessings 🙏🏼 
 Lol 
 The beauty of freedom 
 Super dope 
 Oh yes. The dream of an open internet from the people for the people is beinf renewed - and alive!  
 Lol cryptographically shitposting is highly underated, the market will eventually revalue my portfolio of nostr backed memes, of this I am sure 
 ur internet is back ? 
 Thanks to pioneers like yourself Will, that saw something special, and took a risk with their time, we can all get to benefit from it

Cool that you have to pinch yourself in a sense...! 
 UNSTOPPABLE FROG FRENS! 
 We were here before it is made illegal! 🤯 
 💯 I was thinking how early we are here too. A few years ago I didn't think another network effect as life-changing as the internet would happen again; here it is + Bitcoin 🧡 ✨ 
 No jew can stop us

FTFY* 
 It's bloody brilliant  @jb55 
 Agreed. And thank you for your work 🫡
