LOL Jack like "I don't remember asking you a GODDAMN thing."


To be fair, nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m DID leave out ethereum, but I think he meant to 😄


PSTN.


yup #[2]

when you have b1tc01n and nostr in one sentence, no one cares except b1tc01ners

accessibility is not bad on all 3


LOL absolutely rekt


:LUL:


Bittorrent has been rocking it for 20 years 👍


If I had to compare BitTorrent to the aforementioned three, I would place it at a lower censorship-resistance tier. Otherwise people wouldn't need seedboxes and VPNs to use torrents in first-world countries obsessed with copywrong.


I2P too. It is even more censorship resistant than tor bc it cannot be ddosed as easily. It is harder to run though


Been tormenting without protection for years, no problems.


Lol I'm dead 💀

Guessing it was not mentioned because of the "at scale" clause. It would be nice to see it used more though, especially during Tor's DDOS times.


The Internet?


You forget Monero, sir


Who runs the Ethereum network? I really haven't cared about ethereum


Tor: "Darkweb" stigma. Often used by criminals, thus periodically reported about in a distorted manner about how it is only used for crimes. The fact it resists censorship is not mentioned, conveniently.

Bitcoin: "cryptobros" stigma. Often associated with ransomware, price hikes for regular consumers (yes, I know this was basically Etherium-miners' fault, but does the general public care? To them it's the same thing!) and seen more as "play money" than real money. Bitcoin stores are far inbetween - but I recently saw some sick looking PoS terminals and such that make payments with Bitcoin seem as "normal" as anything else. They were lightning-based, IIRC.

Nostr: I onboarded two users and ran into different issues both times. The only thing that was consistent between the two was them asking: "Who do I follow" - and "Why is this not working, I did use an extension with my nsec". There are a lot of edges to be worked on because it's still a young protocol and platform alltogether. It is, however, already much more capable of a "superapp" than Twitter will ever be, may Elon try as he might, lol. And, the fact that Nostr can be more than just microblogging is also relatively unknown. There are marketplaces in the NIP specs, but I haven't seen a good implementation of it yet.

I love all three of those things, especially the third, followed by the first. In fact, I would even like to add i2p into this mix! But the reality is that unlike "established" methods (clearnet, fiat), we haven't reached the same convenience factor yet and still require a good amount of know-how to get people to use it. The best thing in this regard is Orbot on Android - it's genuely amazing and super easy to use! Not entirely K.I.S.S., but damn close.

And this is why I am still here. This stuff... rules. <3
