The "Center for Countering Digital Hate" has a plan to silence criticism of the government
Here's how their plan works:
Step 1) They use AI to make politicians do fake stuff (nicknamed "deepfake")
Step 2) They infiltrate left-leaning media to spread their "educational materials".
They'll say "Look at these deepfakes! That is possible! So we must educate the public on election disinformation"
Step 3) They put in people's minds that all digital evidence can easily be manipulated.
And since everyday voters can not ever access first-hand sources or interview key-people,
Then:
The everyday person can't trust online sources
Therefore:
They can only trust authorities telling them what is real.
You see, the book 1984 had them literally burn books,
The new strategy is to propagandize people to the point that they won't accept what's written.
Why does WordPress suck?
a) Slower for visitors
You're selling less business, people are walking away from your malware that loads slow.
Search engines punish slow speed.
b) Slower to make
I hope you like carpel tunnel. WordPress forces you to go in a browser and manually modify shit with a mouse, which is proven to hurt your hands in the long term. Plus it's slow load speeds to work on something constantly reloading on a remote server, so you're urinating on your own time. On top of network issues with Tor
c) Leeching Big Tech malware.
You're leaking to the government your income, your sales, and reducing your freedom of speech. While it's technically true WordPress is "open source", it has malware Google fonts by default on the front end, jsdeliver to function, and Cloudflare and Google on the backend. Then to do most tasks, you to install 3rd party plugins which are often closed source and have security vulnerabilities. This is because WordPress suffers from mission creep, where they want to do everything.
d) Hypocrite
You say you want decentralization, but your customers think you're a hypocrite. Most uBlock Origin users immediately see the google fonts and JSDeliver and know you're using WordPress. Now you're trying to sell them on your expertise, but you're using amateur tools.
e) WordPress plugins need constant updates for security, but your setup has a unique combination of plugins. Therefore, as time passes by, the probability of a unique failure increases, which costs more money to solve.
Instead, ditch bloat WordPress, and go with Hugo.
Hugo is a static site generator. This means it generates static content locally on your computer, then you upload and serve a finished static thing. On the other hand, malware WordPress has a live database, and then dynamically creates that content on the site while your visitors wait for it to load.
With Hugo, you don't need any coding knowledge to easily and effortlessly format text, add pictures, and change the layout of your articles, on your local offline computer with the keyboard like an alpha male, as opposed to a worthless carpel tunnel bitch clicking a mouse in a remote browser using Big Tech malware.
Consider reaching out to Simplified Privacy's on-staff graphic designer to help you transition your content over to Hugo, to become a master of your domain. (DM me)
I consider WordPress malware because it's doing all of these calls to each plugin creator and the various big tech participants, but in a way that slows your VPS machine. So it's not serving you or the visitor, it's serving the software creator to benefit them. They want to monetize your data and are willing to hurt you to do so.
In fact, even the "simplystatic" plugin for WordPress had 20+ javascript calls on the final product. So they could not even just display the text and pics
Local hosting means it works without internet using "hugo server" where you go to "localhost" in a browser
As far as woocommerce, it depends on how much data you're looking to collect from the customer. If you're okay with fields for email, name, address then Opencart, Abantecart, or one of the other similar ones in that family, that hook up to BTCPay or fiat processors.
Well you don't need php for text and pictures static. In fact, even the "simplystatic" plugin for WordPress had 20+ javascript calls on the final output
lol not terminal. markdown in a text editor.
if one uses the basic default stock hugo templates, then it's gonna be easier than WordPress imho. If they want a custom design, then yeah your solution with Nitro is likely going to be easier for most people. I wish you a lot of success with it.
Google fonts makes a call to their server to load, revealing your IP. There's no reason to not have a local font, why do we need the internet for a font? What do we call it when someone does something to slow you down, with no benefit to you, but benefits them a lot?
Now the real question is will the mainstream left turn on Zuck, and accuse HIM of misinformation?

Why was Telegram's CEO arrested?
Depends on what network you read:
SimpleX: To get user data
Nostr: To censor
Farcaster: Crackdown on crypto trading
Bastyon: Israeli data breach. Blame the jews!
Twitter: They are coming for Elon next!
Lens: Must be evil capitalism. I paid $10 of Ethereum to type about money being evil.
Telegram itself: He must have done real crimes. We gotta stop crime right?
Telegram's CEO arrest is likely over Israel
--Israeli data hacked
--Leaked on Telegram
--Arrest is likely a response to a refusal to censor
Quotes from Anadolu from Aug 21st:
‘The leaks are likely the most severe in Israel’s history -- an unprecedented looting of gigabytes upon gigabytes of information of all sorts,’ says Israeli daily
"The leaked data has appeared on platforms like Telegram, prompting a series of takedown attempts by Israeli authorities. However, Telegram’s limited moderation policies have complicated these efforts."

It's insane Telegram's CEO was jailed for allowing Russian disinformation,
When even the mainstream US news covered the CIA's violent coup of Ukraine. (before the Russian invasion)
This is my previous writing with the citations:
The corrupt Biden administration’s unwinnable war in Ukraine has bankrupted the nation. Even mainstream propaganda outlets such as The Guardian, Reuters, and the BBC reported on leaked audio of Barrack Obama’s head of Ukraine policy Victoria Nuland. [9a] This leaked phone call revealed that the US backed an illegal and violent coup of Ukraine’s Democratically elected leader. [9b] The Obama administration admitted the leaked audio was true, which demonstrated the US picked the supposedly democratically elected leaders that resulted from their planned uprising. [9c][6]
Funding Nazis
Barrack Obama funded violent Nazis to overthrow Ukraine’s government. [11a] The media tries to brainwash voters by calling it “Russian propaganda”, but the evidence is clear in an FBI indictment of Americans involved that’s posted on the New York Times website. [12b] To quote from journalist Max Blumenthal:
“… an unsealed FBI indictment of four American white supremacists from the Rise Above Movement (RAM) declared that the defendants had trained with Ukraine’s Azov Battalion, a neo-Nazi militia” [12a]

It starts with not being a bitcoin maxi, because bitcoin has no binding contract
While as something like hosting websites on Arweave is a decentralized business that takes in revenue:
https://simplifiedprivacy.com/categories/arweave.html
Arweave isn't competing with lightning for general cash, so should not trigger the insane "shitcoin" response.
But hey, I expect to be ignored with this post. Since I think you’re looking for likes and not solutions.
As you likely already heard, Telegram's CEO Durov was arrested for spreading misinformation
But what you might not realize is that the New York Times literally leaked that the CIA lied about starting the war with Russia, by building bases on the border and firing into Russia, way before the invasion. So it's the US media that is spreading misinformation.
Quote Lying MSN:
"Durov’s preference for hands-off moderation has also helped make it a haven for misinformation, with the site only controlling its content when it’s forced to do so by other governments and organizations."
This only further demonstrates the need for better technology and more anonymity to defy irrational tyranny.
Start preparing your devices and accounts for privacy,
Start getting off the fiat banking system,
Start learning how to do peer-to-peer economics,
In an empire of lies, the truth is treason
Not far away, a discreet passageway descends to a subterranean bunker where teams of Ukrainian soldiers track Russian spy satellites and eavesdrop on conversations between Russian commanders. On one screen, a red line followed the route of an explosive drone threading through Russian air defenses from a point in central Ukraine to a target in the Russian city of Rostov. The underground bunker, built to replace the destroyed command center in the months after Russia’s invasion, is a secret nerve center of Ukraine’s military. There is also one more secret: The base is almost fully financed, and partly equipped, by the CIA.
~
Around 2016, the CIA began training an elite Ukrainian commando force — known as Unit 2245 — which captured Russian drones and communications gear so that CIA technicians could reverse-engineer them and crack Moscow’s encryption systems. (One officer in the unit was Kyrylo Budanov, now the general leading Ukraine’s military intelligence.)
And the CIA also helped train a new generation of Ukrainian spies who operated inside Russia, across Europe, and in Cuba and other places where the Russians have a large presence.
~
Toward the end of 2021, according to a senior European official, Putin was weighing whether to launch his full-scale invasion when he met with the head of one of Russia’s main spy services, who told him that the CIA, together with Britain’s MI6, were controlling Ukraine and turning it into a beachhead for operations against Moscow.

Also the violent coup from a few years earlier we wrote about, wanna comment on that?
Who decides what to censor as spam?
Nostr and Lens solve the "spam and scam" problem by having the client decide. For example Amethyst for android will hide posts from accounts that others report as scams. These "others" are defined by people you follow, but this essentially puts it up to a community vote of large influencers to silence you.
On Lens, once you're labeled spam, you appear in the "show more" of comments. This is a huge turn-off to new users with no followers, who are treated like lower class citizens.
Farcaster solves it in a similar way, but by having the official team label it, and then since their client is so large and influential, their list is often distributed to other clients. This is absolutely horrible and way too centralized. While it's true that posts to your followers would still show up, they are effectively silencing your comments.
Session has zero censorship for mass DMs in the way I use it, even under outright sanctions. The nodes don't even know I am the sender, and I'm assigned new receivers if they drop me. That's why I like it. But the market likes simpleX more because it rotates encryption keys, so it's tough to get new followers. Can't fight the market.
Bastyon solves the problem by a community vote for outright illegal content, to get it off the nodes, such as child porn and narcotics sales. The voters are picked based on their total upvotes, called "reputation". I disagree with this approach, as if we're going to vote, it should be the nodes hosting it (like Arweave does)...
Files on Arweave have an unofficial vote, where the nodes can opt out of storing it. And if all the miners chosen in a block opt out, then there's no financial penalty for dropping the content. But if they have the content and others don't, then they have a financial advantage to mine that block over competitors. This approach is good for websites, but for a social network with permissionless replies, it's way too passive.
Therefore:
I disagree with all these solutions.
In my view, the best way to handle spam (in a permissionless system) is to allow the original poster to decide which replies are spam. Then the end user can decide to toggle on or off "criticism and spam" for the replies. After all, if you're following someone, you trust their judgment on the subject they are speaking about. And this decentralizes the decision to each individual poster.
Now I do the ironic thing, and turn it over to my replies. Do you think this approach is right?
"Federal labor regulator says delivery drivers are Amazon employees"
Previously Amazon avoided working with unions, by classifying employees as "third-party contractors". Now a regional National Labor Relations Board director said that the company is really an employer. And so this ruling will essentially force Amazon to work with unions.
You know it's ironic that left-wing Jeff Bezos, who tries to force an agenda of government control to supposedly protect the everyday person, is actually the one who is trying to dance and bullshit his way around the very "Big Brother" laws he promotes.
Even his own paper the Washington Post admits defeat:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2024/08/22/amazon-teamsters-delivery-drivers/
Email ain't designed for selling fuckin cocaine.
I promote the idea of self-hosting email on a VPS, to stop passive surveillance. Meaning:
No AI is scanning this stuff. Then you can use aliases like anonaddy to hide from services that it's even your email
Proton openly admits to scanning btw. So without a VPS, you got Cloudflare, Gmail, Proton, and the WEF glow boys shoving the AI scan up your rectum, and seeing the SUM of your online activity, because almost every service out there demands an email.
Is it air-tight end-to-end-quantum-nuclear-shelter? No. But it's a little digital home for your work (docs, files, content):
https://simplifiedprivacy.com/email-cloud-combo/index.html
Yes picking a good VPS provider is important, and that is a flaw with email.
We could re-word your statement as "Email isn't good for active threats, but if the provider wastes money, then information can be obtained"
However, you do not present an alternative.
If you email someone on gmail, that one email is compromised yes. But not the entire sum of all your activity.
So you're protecting against someone seeing everything you're doing.
And further, the vast majority of websites will force you to register using email. So just controlling that email is all the stuff you own. Traditional social media accounts, fiat banking, websites, forums, crypto exchanges, dexes, ect
Also you can use something like anonaddy to hide that it's even you that's emailing gmail. So gmail would only see each conversation in isolation, and not even know your real domain
Thanks for your time in writing in for an educational opportunity.
First, Proton is NOT end-to-end encrypted. As per own their blog:
https://proton.me/support/proton-mail-encryption-explained
(Please note, I only changed the CAPS)
Quote:
"The email is encrypted in transit using TLS. It is THEN UNENCRYPTED and re-encrypted (by us) for storage on our servers using zero-access encryption. Once zero-access encryption has been applied, no-one except you can access emails stored on our servers (including us). It is NOT end-to-end encrypted, however, and might be accessible to the sender’s email service"
</end quote>
Second, they do scan it for spam and phising.
They repeat this with:
Source: https://proton.me/blog/encrypted-email-spam-filtering
"Emails that come from third party email providers obviously CANNOT be delivered with end-to-end encryption, but upon reaching our mail servers, we will encrypt them with the recipient’s public key before saving the messages(new window). All this is done in memory so that by the time anything is permanently stored to disk, the email is already un-readable to us. This gives us a very limited window to perform spam filtering on incoming messages."
Then they further elaborate,
"Secondly, the message is passed through our customized Bayesian filters which marks suspicious messages as spam.
Next, we generate checksums of incoming messages and check them against a database of known spam messages. If there is a match, we mark the message as spam. The checksums are done in such a way that it is also effective against mutating spam emails."
</end quote>
So they claim to have it unencrypted, then have a "limited time" to stop spam, but then also claim to encrypt it, and then after compare the hash to spam hash. If their own claims were true, then why do they only have a limited time?
Third, they hand over huge amounts of data. If it's encrypted, then what do they have to hand over?
From their own transparency report:
https://proton.me/legal/transparency
"2023
Number of legal orders: 6,378
Contested orders: 407
Orders complied with: 5,971
2022
Number of legal orders: 6,995
Contested orders: 1,038
Orders complied with: 5,957"
</end quote>
Fourth, you imply that I am not trustworthy but proton with a World Economic Forum board member is. It's not logical to trust a government regulated and registered entity to resist government, over a pure crypto provider. We've registered our PGP key with XMRBazaar so no customer funds are risked when all customers are given a receipt.
What you're really saying is you wish to attempt to haze and oppress alternatives that aren't registered with the government.
If so, why do you have bitcoin glowies on your eyes? As there is no purpose in bitcoin if you still only trust government money.
There is no "turning on E2EE" with email. It's SSL, like regular websites. Unless you're saying using PGP, which most people are not doing and the metadata is cleartext.
When you say "there are simpler solutions out there", yes Mailu is open source email. We are setting it up for people who do not want to read technical docs. And setting up other services on the same VPS, so you get the most out of having one.
Your argument is unclear. Are you suggesting people should NOT be self-sovereign and have a digital home?
I have not researched into fedora. But the question is not is any provider per say compromising you, but if you have root access to control it.
My message is: Don’t trust external services, run it yourself. Have a digital home, not just for email. for docs, chat, ect.
I hear you on the tinfoil hat. Part of this is not per say they are getting your data, but also about control. One of the members of our chat group was talking about being banned from proton for sending business emails in small bulk. He was saying how it was fairly small amount, but he lost the account.
So it's about privacy yes, but also control over your digital home.
Look how many choices you listed. Proton-to-Tutanota isn't E2EE, so it's only among that provider. If the person you're talking to is cool enough to use privacy email, they are cool enough to use a REAL private protocol like simplex. The purpose of email is the people you're reaching out to don't care. And the businesses you sign up for are forcing you to your account to it.
Also take a step back and think about what you're really standing for right now. You're literally trying to haze me for telling people to be decentralized and as self-sovereign as they can be .... and you're instead trying to degrade what I'm doing to promote millionare Protonmail. Like what's your goal?
Clearly we would be in a better place if everyone and their mother had their own VPS with email. So it's unclear your agenda.
We can take your logic a step further, if Tutanota's CEO were here on Nostr today promoting his product, you'd say "Oh don’t self-host your own thing, we already have Protonmail, Mailbox, Countermail, and Startmail".
First,
If a Protonmail user emails a Tutanota user, it is NOT end-to-end encrypted.
Therefore,
Your solution of there already exists all these options is bullshit, because the options contradict each other.
Further,
It is unclear why a Nostr user, who promotes Bitcoin, (decentralized social media and money), would be opposed to decentralized email.
Finally,
I reject your entire worldview of having people self-host Bitcoin nodes, which add no value to their lives.
Yet, you dismiss people owning a VPS with their communications, emails, docs, files, ect.
Conclusion,
Given your complete failure to acknowledge basic facts, you're essentially spamming. To say you're worthless would be an improvement, currently you are sucking up my resources to respond to low level dribble. So fuck off and let's end this convo
Understood, that's why we're trying to help people to make it fast and easy. Now does that have trust in us? Yes.
But the goal is to get people in a place where they are more self-sovereign
Microsoft’s latest security update has ruined dual-boot Windows and Linux PCs
Just when you thought you could try Linux out, and still have Windows with dual-boot as a back-up for some use-cases, Microsoft is out to screw you over again. Their new update to "secure boot", which fixed their previous issues with GRUB and Windows together, which Microsoft allowed to be abused by hackers for 2 years before finally patching, now is breaking Linux machines.
"Ars Technica reports that multiple Linux dual-boot users are seeing “security policy violation” messages, along with “something has gone seriously wrong” errors. There are reports of issues across Reddit, Ubuntu forums, and elsewhere. Distributions including Ubuntu, Debian, Linux Mint, Zorin OS, and Puppy Linux have all been affected by Microsoft’s patch."
It looks like you may have to finally pull the plug and wipe even your back-up Windows that you left for compatibility. Microsoft is so corrupt and worthless, they can not even be trusted as an alternative at boot time.

Joe Biden pushing forward rapid "Digital ID" program.
According to NOTUS, they previewed a draft executive order that Joe Biden is trying to push through on his way out, [1]
This unconstitutional, insecure, and objectively-invasive program would force states to issue digital identification on smart phones instead of physical driver licenses. What is not mentioned in any of these articles, is how they are going to deal with hackers only having to steal a file. And then once the "file" is stolen, there would be rampant fraud that would be difficult or impossible to stop.
Are you going to tie it to only be used by that physical phone? That would force US citizens to buy certain phone brands, which a US Federal Court already ruled unconstitutional with Obamacare attempting to force young people to buy private insurance. [2] In fact, with health insurance, even with the fines, millions of US citizens preferred to pay the fines than take action. [3]
So how will sleepy Joe Biden force compliance, as he's forced out of office, due to being too senile to speak in a debate? He could not even maintain the illusion of being in charge, while his puppet masters were really in charge.
Here’s an idea: Let’s Phone-Digital ID the White House, so we can see who is really pushing the buttons. Because to say Biden is in-charge, is fraud.
Sources:
https://simplifiedprivacy.com/joe-biden-id/index.html
For a phone being shipped for monero, how would that work? Because we're not collecting credit info the way those companies do. It's not like I'm gonna show up at your frontdoor
Ha, I guess. But why would they trust me over just saving up in a wallet they own? It's sort of like a weightloss deal to themselves? "I will become private"
"Google Play is axing its Security Reward Program"
The program paid devs up to 20k to locate vulnerabilities in popular Android apps. Google says they’re "winding down the program due to a decrease in actionable vulnerabilities reported by security researchers"
In other words, they no longer give a shit if there's malware on Google Play, because now they changed the legal liability to be on the app dev. Over a year ago, they changed the legal wording so the dev has to self-report what permissions are used. This shifts responsibility away from the Play Store onto the dev.
But if Google shifts the responsibility on the dev for the bad side, but they keep the good side (collecting user data), then why do we even need them? We don't. Avoid Google Play... switch to F-Droid, APKs, and Obtainium.
Why should I care about Arweave websites?
Arweave offers unprecedented freedom for both the website visitor and the content creator.
For the website visitor, it’s unprecedented privacy. Never before in the history of the internet has the website VISITOR been able to pick the location, ISP, and jurisdiction where they want to RECEIVE the content FROM. In other words, you pick what gateway (and therefore under what terms) you will look at their stuff.
Normally, you’re forced to submit to whatever server the content creator wants. Which usually means forced Cloudflare and AWS.
Even better, once it moves out of testnet, you’ll be able to self-host your own gateway. In other words, you can SELF-HOST THEIR website, and then only you see your VPN/Tor exit.
Creator
For the content creator, it’s unparalleled power with: censorship resistance, a CDN, a DNS identity, with no clear-path to a take-down. You can do whatever you want, and governments can’t control you. Even better than that, because it’s permanent, it can serve up unmodified code in a Github type situation, or it can be a legally binding contract for full-blown crypto-anarchy.
How’s it work?
It’s file storage directly on the layer-1 blockchain, so it works like Bitcoin Ordinals but it scales. It can store anything, including websites or videos. And it has gateways around the world, acting as a CDN.
Who cares about this CDN?
The problem with the regular internet is Cloudflare acts as the middle-man for all websites and sees all passwords. However, to not use centralized CDNs exposes one to DDoS. By putting it on the blockchain and having different gateways serve it up, it frees the visitor and the creator from Big Tech, censorship, and having Cloudflare own all passwords.
How’s the blockchain work?
So there’s two aspects to this, first is how is it stored on the blockchain (Proof of Work). And second is how is it distributed to the website viewer (Proof of Stake).
Proof of Work Storage
https://simplifiedprivacy.com/posts/arweave/Arweave-QA/images/proof-of-work.jpg
The storage runs on modified Proof of Work using RandomX (Which Monero also uses). Just like Monero, Arweave uses RandomX to force mining to be done on regular computer hardware, and keep out abuse that can rig the way data is put into blocks. But unlike Monero which is just cash, Arweave is a decentralized business that generates revenue.
BitTorrent Pool
Customers pay for 100 years of storage which goes into a pool (they use the word “endowment”, but it’s not controlled like that). This pool pays out nodes to store the data. They share data with each other using BitTorrent, in a way that incentivizes them to share it with as many other nodes as possible. Then they are randomly asked to produce data, to prove that they have it.
Proof of Stake CDN
https://simplifiedprivacy.com/posts/arweave/Arweave-QA/images/arweave-global.png
The CDN gateways are run by a different project, ar.io (IO tokens) which are Proof of Stake. The gateways stake IO, which gets slashed if they serve malicious fake content. Like say you put up your Monero wallet or PGP Key, and they serve up their own wallet or key. The other gateways can decide what defines malicious content in a vote, and so having the coin be Proof of Stake keeps out malicious attacks. One CAN run a gateway WITHOUT staking, but then the gateway doesn’t get rewarded.
PoS debate
Proof of Stake is controversial, because you’re raising the requirements to scale new locations. However, if there was 0 barrier to entry, then the government could run unlimited malicious gateways with no defense mechanism. The main part of this system I disagree with is the subjective and unclear deciding of what defines malicious gateways. In my personal opinion, it should be mathematical comparison of the files, done in a purely systematic method, without voting.
End Flow Chart
https://simplifiedprivacy.com/posts/arweave/Arweave-QA/images/gateways.png
Bitcoin has no binding contract, so Arweave is required. Do not think of it as money, but a decentralized service that takes in revenue. It's more like a coupon.
Simplified Privacy is now regulated...
Just not by the government.
People pay the government to register a business, but when the customer is cheated, does the customer get any of those corporate registration funds? No, the gov squanders it, and then more must be collected via violent threats.
Even worse, "privacy" companies register to get fiat investments, which then forces them to compromise their product at arbitrary corrupt request. Their "innovative" technology can't resist the violent registration, and so they have no purpose.
But how can customers be protected if cryptocurrency transactions are irreversible? Today we present a new path.
Simplified Privacy deposited 2 Monero with an arbitrator from XMRBazaar and registered it with our PGP key. Regardless of if you use XMR, Bitcoin, or a different currency: All customers get a PGP signed receipt for decentralized email combo clouds, private DeGoogled phones, or other tech services. And this is regardless of if you use the the Bazaar website, Nostr, or any messenger. In the future, I am open to doing a Bitcoin deposit as well to bridge the gap.
If we fail to deliver on our promises, you can contact the arbitrator (AilliA), and show your PGP signed receipt. If we fail to respond or provide proof of delivery within 2 weeks, AilliA will pay you XMR from our deposit. My message is clear:
You are not defined by the dirt upon which you stand.
But by the value you add to society.

Big Win for Freedom:
Federal Appeals Court Finds Geofence Warrants Are “Categorically” Unconstitutional
Up to one third of all inquires to Google are for user geolocation data. This is where law enforcement asks for the data on all phone users in a given geographic area, because they want to know who might have done a crime. The issue with this is that it violates the fourth amendment, as they are getting a huge amount of other data on other people, completely unrelated to the crime.
This is the exact type of stuff we advocate avoiding with Simplified Privacy’s educational materials on DeGoogled Phones, WiFi hotspots, and VoIP. However, it appears we are not the only ones against the practice. In the Fifth Circuit case of the United States v. Smith, the Federal Court ruled that geofence warrants, which involve blanket requests for all user data in a given geographic area, are unconstitutional and violate the 4th amendment.
Now will this stop the practice? Maybe, but I wouldn’t cancel your VoIP subscription yet.
As Monero is delisted from exchanges,
The SEC told Coinbase to "delist everything but Bitcoin"
So if you're repeating the government's wishes,
What is the purpose in Nostr's "censorship resistance"?
Bitcoin is more easily controlled than competitors like Monero, and lightning is more difficult for the average person to self-host, then a self-host wallet that just works. This degrades the use of crypto for the real world transactions.
Therefore, the point is that being a Bitcoin Maxi is in the US government’s interest.
And so you being a cheerleader for this defeats the purpose of uncensored technology.
It's possible you had issues with a Monero node, sure. It's possible.
But without a doubt, the end user using a Monero wallet is easier than self-custody Bitcoin lightning, especially if we're talking self-liquidity. And this is why it's more easily controlled, because the end users give up custody/control, to make it easier.
There are other reasons as well, such as privacy, censorship, and legal complexity of layer 2 middlemen.
Florida woman sues Google for deplatforming after she sent pro-life email through Gmail
This is yet another example of why you should not be using the infrastructure of your enemy for critical functions to your life. A 76-year-old woman in Jacksonville is suing Google for deplatforming her about an hour after she emailed members of her pro-life group calling for a peaceful Catholic Mass and gathering in front of A Woman’s Choice, an abortion business in Florida.
Trudy Perez-Poveda says Google targeted her after she sent the correspondence through Gmail. Google refused to allow Perez-Poveda to access her more than 11-year trove of stored emails, photographs, calendars, contacts and other data, her attorneys say.
People will say “oh, but I’m not protesting”, but here’s the thing: Google is involved in so many different industries and causes, across both the left and right, that the number of triggers is beyond what can be avoided. In fact, any industry, even if not political, has the potential to shake up competitors and cause them to want to stop this change. If Google will always side with the powerful incumbent, even if purely economical, then if you’re using Gmail, you’re essentially saying:
“I do not now, and never will, have anything of value to say”

My impression of Monero users who won't come on Nostr:
"I hate Bitcoin Maxis because they are biased against new technology that is better...
By the way I hate Nostr, so I want to obey and tie my life's work to a single government domain, and listen to socialists on Mastodon, which are the same people who want to tax me, which btw Monero is trying to evade. And I submit to have Twitter shove a captcha up my rectum, all because these Bitcoin Maxis don't care about privacy."
“Pre-Crime” is taking action BEFORE a crime is committed:
New Documents Show the FBI Implemented Nationwide Social Media Monitoring Ahead of the 2022 Midterms
Fast Key points:
--FBI ordered social media companies to save user data on targeted political individuals, even though no crime had been committed
--Goal was to “maintain relevant user information until legal actions could be formally initiated”
--America First Legal (AFL) initiated the lawsuit against the Biden-Harris administration FBI National Election Command Post (NECP)
--It had lists of social media accounts posting what they considered “misinformation,” extending from New York to San Francisco. This included the Right Side Broadcasting Network, cited by Matt Taibbi as targeted for “additional action” by the FBI
So we’re talking about pre-crime surveillance of political adversaries that are just sending messages they dislike. Many in the privacy space warned about pre-crime, ironically we were “pre-crime flagging the pre-crime” but now here it is:

Big New 0-day vulnerability for Web Browsers
(for Linux & Mac)
Researchers at Oligo Security have disclosed a logical vulnerability to all major browsers (Chromium, Firefox, Safari) that enables external websites to communicate with (and potentially exploit) software that runs locally on MacOS and Linux. Windows is not impacted by this issue.
Oligo Researchers have found that public websites (like domains ending in .com) are able to communicate with services running on the local network (localhost) and potentially execute arbitrary code on the visitor’s host by using the address 0.0.0.0 instead of localhost/127.0.0.1.
Remediation In Progress: Browsers Will Soon Block 0.0.0.0
Following responsible disclosure, HTTP requests to 0.0.0.0 are now being added to security standards using a Request for Comment (RFC), and some browsers will soon block access to 0.0.0.0 completely. 0.0.0.0 will not be allowed as a target IP anymore in the Fetch specification, which defines how browsers should behave when doing HTTP requests.

Beast Linux Tip:
To avoid having to scroll through your history to find something, do this command:
history | grep what-you-want
the "|" is pipe and it takes the first command and feeds the output into the 2nd one, and "grep" searches for something, so you're literally taking your history and feeding it into a search
This is a huge deal for free speech:
The guy is a US citizen, whose part of the UN, and he had his home raided by the FBI for his opinion of “let’s make peace with Russia”… under the accusation of “unregistered foreign agent”. Yet Israel’s AIPAC doesn’t register?

Why use Cryptocurrency?
-You don't own bank deposits, they can rip it away
-You have no financial privacy with bank promises
-They are inflating your life's work. Politicians are urinating in your face
-You're supporting genocide. Wars only continue due to central banks buying bonds.
-Cross-border payments are a bitch, but the internet is global. This means you're paying more for local labor, and losing out on foreign customers.
-Banks are fundamentally corrupt:
When the central bank prints, even if stocks and bonds rise at the same rate as inflation, it creates inequality.
Think about it, if you have a billion dollars, do you really care if food for your family costs 7% more (a few thousand a year), when the Nasdaq is up 7% (millions in profit)?
Banks borrow in the short-term, to lend in the long-term. The government prints money to lower the short-term rate, which allows the commercial banks to leech a higher profit margin by lending at the long-term rate. In other words, the government urinates in your face with inflation, to increase the bank's profit spread (short term borrowing vs long term lending rates)
-Banks borrow in the interbank, which you don't have access to. So you're literally letting them use fresh printed money first, and dribble it on you later when it's worth less. Even worse, American Banks don't pay FDIC insurance on foreign deposits, but they still get bailed out on "eurodollar" deposits (for example 2009 & covid). This motivates them to take maximum offshore risk and pay nothing.
In summary, if you ignore crypto:
--You own nothing
--You're missing out on critical thinking,
--Allowing Banks and the Government to abuse you
--You're immoral
--You aid in Genocide
--You're helping oppress the poor
And the only thing giving the dollar value is psychology. I do not accept fiat. I do not value it.
Give me Liberty, or give me Death.
If you have no interest in a given technology, theory, or philosophy,
Ok. that's fine
If you have no time to learn, or it's presented in a complex way, I get it.
But to dismiss something outright when you don't really understand it, you are not only depriving yourself, but also encouraging others to not learn. And thus stay stuck where you and they are.
I'm not just talking about any technology using blockchain, which you're immediately labeling "shit" without even knowing what it is. I'm not just talking about challenging traditional assumptions, which you're labeling "conspiracy theories". I'm also talking about philosophies like Agorism and Objectivism. The way we interact and what we value.
Me & you both agree that the majority of people are sheep living inside a box. Where we disagree is who put them there.
My argument is two parts.
a) It’s not money.
Because many of these things I use are not “money”, they are decentralized businesses doing a service that take in revenue. We have to separate purely sending funds and a programmable commodity coordinator doing a business. So when you’re attempting to haze it (weakly and failing), you’re essentially trying to force the use of traditional businesses that are corrupt and reduce end-user freedom, such as Cloudflare, WhatsApp, Google Drive, Gmail, and lending from banks.
b) Bitcoin isn’t either.
On top of that, because Bitcoin’s blockchain was purposefully crippled in a way Satoshi did not want, the market is clearly disputing that it’s the best money. Now you can type the word “shit”, but that doesn’t convince someone to want to use it. If you go into Gucci, they don’t call the other purses “shitbags”… they win with adding value and creating desire.
Today Bitcoin is winning, but not as money. It’s winning as a BlackRock ETF. And people don’t feel comfortable doing KYC then withdrawing it from the exchange to then spend it as money with tax effects that can be seen. And that's why your attempt to pull the moral high ground isn't working.
We are having two debates. The first is “non-money” crypto, which collects revenue as a business. For example Arweave collects revenue into a pool to distribute for a service. This isn’t “just units of currency”, its a decentralized business. (And yes we can debate how decentralized)
Our second debate is Bitcoin the best cash. Do you agree that the purpose of cryptocurrency is self-sovereign control? That people should control the private keys to their own funds?
Right, they need to create a programmable unit to follow the rules. We’re going to be releasing some articles on it in the next week. There’s also docs.arweave.org with a lot of good info.
Bitcoin lightning could be good money if people actually self-hosted their liquidity and owned their private keys, but these are big obstacles for the average person. Fighting Bitcoin lightning vs Monero vs others, is in my opinion not that great, it just divides the community. Instead, we focus on accepting all of them, and encouraging people to get off banks.
Today Monero is listed as a front-page trending coin on Coinmarketcap
https://simplifiedprivacy.com/posts/cryptocurrency/Monero-JapaneseYen/images/MoneroCoinmarketcap.png
But it isn't rising that much, it's just that it didn't collapse with coins primarily traded on centralized exchanges. Monero's attitude of "use it" over hodl & leverage keeps it stable.
And special to this situation, as I've written about below, this entire collapse is triggered by Japanese yen carry trades.
Monero's history of being banned from the Japanese exchanges, makes it very few people long XMR/JPY on leverage
nostr:nevent1qqsy8e2auwjs628jzlv5kpaf99cqcw5zz6j9falxcdl6t4h4s8u58eqpzpmhxue69uhk2tnwdaejumr0dshszrnhwden5te0dehhxtnvdakz7qg4waehxw309aex2mrp0yhxummnw3ezucn89um562fu
Fast Bird's Eye View of Market Collapse:
--From 1993 to 2021, Japan had essentially no inflation
--From 2021 to now, Japan's inflation is rising
In response to this:
--Bank of Japan raised interest rates
--This strengthens the Yen
At the same time:
--US Federal Reserve is lowering
--Weak US jobs
This sent the USD to Japanese Yen exchange rate down.
(weak dollar, strong yen)
Because:
Since 1993 Japan's currency has been nearly free to borrow
And the central bank can print as much as it wants
Then:
Everyone and their mother borrows yen (at lower interest rates) to buy assets overseas at higher yield,
But now:
Huge players are having to pay more to borrow,
As the exchange rate moves against them,
Therefore:
They sell.
Fast Recap:
Bitcoin down 15.74% - 51,593
Nasdaq down 3.33%
S&P500 down 3.66%
Japan's Nikkei 225 down over 12% in its biggest-ever daily loss
Monero down 5.71% - $144.53
US jobs report was weak on friday:
The US economy added just 114,000 jobs in July, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Friday.
Economists had been expecting slower monthly growth, with around 175,000 jobs added and an unemployment rate that remains at 4.1%
Mainstream Propaganda Outlets:
Fed waited to too long to cut rates
Alternative Media:
Bubble is collapsing, the Fed will never be able to maintain normal rates again.
What's Nostr think,
Buy the Dip today, or wait?
No Cloudflare. No DDoS.
It’s live! Our new website is a solution to Cloudflare. Let’s break it down:
Problem:
Cloudflare breaks SSL encryption and acts as a man-in-the-middle to see all passwords. And by seeing the bulk of all traffic, they are able to do mass surveillance.
Issue:
When you bring up getting off Cloudflare with website creators, they say “But what about DDoS?”. And then you’re just directing them to less centralized alternatives, which could become the “next CF” if they got popular.
Solution:
Arweave is on-chain data storage functioning similar to Bitcoin Ordinals (but it scales). There's a brand-new testnet of global gateways for Arweave, to serve this content: For example I’m “Privacy”
So you just put the name “Privacy” then a dot, in front of the Gateways.

Pick one close to you, and try it out!
It's amusing that you're trying the crypto volatility angle, as Bitcoin drops over 10% today. And Bitcoin does nothing but "store value", while Arweave has useful market purpose.
Even if Arweave suffers heavy volatility, they collect for 100 years upfront at today's prices. Considering storage prices are dropping, there would have to be massive downside volatility to not have at least 10+ years...
which is wayyyyy more than most blogs/websites need. A blog can update every day or week. So you've really failed to address the main issue of decentralized storage/CDN to avoid Cloudflare.
What you are saying is not logical and disconnected from reality. Blockchain as a whole has thousands of different things.
The bandwidth that can be gotten from Arweave gateways would be a reflection of how many gateways and how much use the network is getting. This is not something you or me know right now.
The idea that promoting Cloudflare and Blockstream's Lightning on Google Cloud, as decentralized.. is ridiculous. You are essentially spewing low level dribble
ok, I don't know enough about ICP to comment on the first part.
Nostr is very different from Bittorrent, there is only the sharing of data on discovery. You're pulling the actual data from 1 relay from my understanding of gossip's model
and notice you did not mention arweave's gateways,
nor did you mention cloudflare or the centralized internet.
So your answer is what? do nothing and more of the same? no thanks
Thanks for your reply.
a) The chart is spiking up and down, that's not a trend. Arweave has over a billion dollar market cap, and value is subjective in the eye of buyer.
b) Bitcoin has no binding contract. Systems such as Arweave enable trustless systems. As opposed to a system where you pay for something and don't know if the counter-party will deliver. Instead of thinking of this as currency, it's more like a stock in a semi-decentralized company.
c) Ok. But I think you should properly learn about it before dismissing it.
d) True wealth is created by investing in businesses that produce valuable things. Equities have and will always outperform Gold in the long run, and Bitcoin is essentially just digital censorship-resistant gold now. Bitcoin is not cash, you’re not talking about getting off banks.
Are you sure you're not mixing up ICP and AO (arweave's "super computer")?
As far as I understand, this is renting the nodes out to run code. The nodes are different then the gateways.
https://ao.arweave.dev/
This should not change the speed of gateways, and if it did from extra traffic, then more gateways would come on with all the extra revenue the service is doing to the coin(s) value(s).
Arweave uses modified BitTorrent as part of it's "Proof of Access" system to share among nodes. But the gateways serve it to the end-consumer using regular https in a regular web browser.
you're correct that just pure AR has no incentive to run gateways. That's why ar.io is now doing a system to pay gateways to run them, coming from the profits of those who buy DNS and update it.
It's unclear what your point is, that we should all just use cloudflare? There is no Bitcoin binding contract

@Lucky Kite wishes to force me to obey Karl Marx and rails against the evils of capitalism. But yet he has private ownership of his Nostr key? I seek to draw attention to his hypocrisy.

Under this proposed legislation, we as a community, take control of any Nostr nsec keys under the control of corrupt Marxism. To bring peace and justice to Nostr.
All Those in Favor 453, Like this post. Repost for double.
