Yes, it was NIP-55; how was the issue resolved? Combing through the Amber and Quartz code it seemed like it was potentially a pubkey decryption bug but I wasn't sure. I felt like a crazy person debugging a single line of code over and over. 😅

Also, Amber isn't a NIP-46 compatible signer correct, or have I just not looked hard enough through the app? I'm planning on implementing NIP-46 as well, I've just gotten a bit more inbound asking for Amber support.


NIP-04 decryption with Amber is going to be the end of me...

Local-first social media experiences are where the future is heading, particularly when it comes to #Nostr. There will always be a place for the "town square" model, but with more and more AI content and not knowing what information is real or not (plus spam), local networks will help newcomers bootstrap their web of trust and act as a gateway to the rest of the online world.


To be fair, it's not unreasonable to have this primal desire for subkeys and key rotation. The problem is that:

1) it's not possible to do without centralization (or a blockchain) -- Bluesky tried, and the best solution they came up with was a big server that hosts a history of keys for everybody and can censor anyone;
2) doing it by means of Nostr events that declare subkeys or delegation or whatnot, creates insurmountable complexity that turns Nostr into an unusable pile of bloatware and away its most basic feature: the chance of working;
3) it's not the only way to protect your key from rogue computers and apps -- NIP-46 and other methods exist and are much nicer to use, with still many unexplored possibilities;
4) it's not clear that more than 16 people in the entire world want this at all -- when was the last time a normal person thought about rotating their PGP keys?

It's a little more nuanced than just copy-pasting nation states into the digital realm. Taken from the book:

"A network state is a highly aligned online community with a capacity for collective action that crowdfunds territory around the world and eventually gains diplomatic recognition from pre-existing states."

Diplomatic recognition is still something I'm not sure is necessary, but it's an interesting model of what "nations" and collective human action could look like in the future.


Neutral digital spaces to "meet" others are going to be necessary in order to defend freedom of assembly and establish network capitals.

Prepare accordingly:

NEW CLIENT ANNOUNCEMENT
https://m.primal.net/LDNn.mp4
I wanted to build on nostr and I asked OpenSats for a grant to work on ONOSENDAI one day per week. I scaled back my hours at my fiat job and began part time nostr development to work on a novel metaverse project where all actions require proof of work. This was the beginning of my nostr career. Today is a huge milestone in that journey.

It took me 52 Fridays from proof of concept to reality, and now ONOSENDAI functions as the first cyberspace client.

Today I present to you the thermodynamic update to #ONOSENDAI https://onosendai.tech
#welcometocyberspace folks. It's finally here. Check it out on desktop for the best experience. More updates for a better Mobile experience are in the pipeline.

I'm working on a video to explain cyberspace and how to use ONOSENDAI and I'll post it ASAP.

The short tutorial is this:
- WASD for movement (relative to camera)
- Q = down, E = up
- ESC to put camera behind avatar
- Mouse Click and drag to move camera
- Mouse Wheel to change Throttle

Sections of the app:

LOCAL
This is the on-the-ground cyberspace view. The shiny polygon you begin your journey in is your Home Coordinate, which is simply your hex pubkey. Your journey always starts here if you derezz (or get derezzed) at any point, but your progress is saved to nostr and your avatar will travel even when you're away from the app!

SECTOR
This is the 10,000ft view of cyberspace. Nearby sectors are automatically scanned for objects of interest and mapped in 3D: other avatars, hyperjumps, shards, and constructs (coming soon).

GLOBAL
This is the 100,000,000ft view of cyberspace. The staggeringly large full coordinate system is shown.

BUILD
This tab is a 3D editor that lets you build 3D objects called Shards. Shards can be mined and planted wherever you are at in cyberspace for everyone to admire. In the LOCAL tab you can mine and deploy a Shard at your current position. The size and complexity of the shard determines its mining difficulty.

Terminology:

- coord - a cyberspace coordinate is a 256-bit number, just like event ids and public keys.
- chain - the nostr events representing your movement which contain proof-of-work and are linked together via hash
- sector - a 2^30 cube area of cyberspace
- G - Gibson, the unit of measurement in cyberspace named after William Gibson (the author who invented the concept of cyberspace)
- plane - The last bit in a cyberspace coordinate determines its plane. Depending on your pubkey you will either be in D-Space or I-Space. You will be able to switch planes in a future update. All points in D-Space map to a real point in reality, including Earth. All points in I-Space are virtual.

Despite the polish I was able to muster, ONOSENDAI is still in its infancy, and so is cyberspace. It's up to you to explore, build, discover, and push it forward, because unlike other metaverses, this one belongs to everyone and is controlled by no-one. That's the whole point!

I would like to invite all #cyberspace enthusiasts to join my new ditto instance at https://straylight.cafe and use your nostr identity to ask questions, discuss cyberspace, futurism, and how to build this new world together. I think it's going to be a lot of fun. I want to shut down the ONOSENDAI telegram group in favor of Straylight Café because it's nostr based, so hop on over and make it happen!

When you join Straylight.cafe, it isn't connected to any external relays on purpose, so you must edit your profile and customize it for how you want your npub to appear on this site. Whatever you post on Straylight stays there and doesn't go out to the rest of nostr unless you do so manually. It's like an open telegram group -- public, but not broadcasted by default.

And so concludes my OpenSats grant. I want to thank so many people for supporting me, encouraging me, and helping me along this journey.
I am going to try to list everyone I can and I apologize if I miss someone:
OpenSats and the whole team there
Gsovereignty and Bitkarrot for having me on their podcast. This was a huge break for me into the nostr scene.
Johns and Marina for encouraging me and inviting me to awesome bolt.fun hackathons which were a wonderful opportunity to meet great people!

Do you have any idea of what I could be doing wrong? The messages are properly encrypted, sent, and decryptable on other clients, btw.

Tornado Cash? Needed a banking license. Samourai Wallet? Needed a banking license. WhatsApp, Apple, X, probably all need licenses too.

Sounds retarded? Correct. That's why the SEC has proposed a rule to formalize licensing requirements for communication protocols.

In a speech at the annual U.S. Treasury Market Conference, Gensler announced to rule on proposed amendments to the Exchange Act by November, which expand the definition of the term "exchange" to mean "systems that bring together buyers and sellers of securities [...] (i.e. "communication protocols")."

Critics argue the rule may be weaponized to criminally indict software developers given the already hostile environment for crypto- and privacy devs.

If this rule passes, we are fucked beyond comprehension.

I can somewhat agree; Anthropic is a big player and already has better models. Coupled with the fact that top execs and founders of OpenAI are leaving or have already left just spells out doom for the company in due time. Open-source models are also starting to catch up with support from Meta.


All of the people who actually built the tech and vision behind it are leaving or have already left; Sam Altman is a grifter; Anthropic models are already much better; open-source is starting to catch up.

Initial thought is that it's due to the import script.


A personal or paid relay is what I would most recommend, but we blastr every note to ensure the notes exist somewhere even if you move relays. Any relay you trust and that won't have notes periodically deleted works.


If you went to pay right after signing out, that could have also caused the relays to disconnect and the token to not have been published. Might have to force a page refresh after signing out if that's the case...


The only reason it wouldn't show up is if the relays you're connected to aren't the same across clients or aren't online. Nothing is showing up under the "Messages" page once you're signed in?

Working on it... 👀


nostr has no global source of truth, and that is a good thing

Out of interest, I follow the progress of a lot of other projects similar to nostr, and a couple links surfaced today:

BlueSky has a big "firehose" connection that streams all updates (new posts, reactions, etc) to subscribers. Unsurprisingly, this is difficult to process except on beefy servers with lots of bandwidth. So, one proposed solution is to strip out all that pesky cryptography (signatures, merkle tree data, etc): https://jazco.dev/2024/09/24/jetstream/

And over on Farcaster, keeping their hubs in sync is too difficult, so they want to make all posts globally sequenced, like a blockchain. The details are still being worked out, but I think it's safe to assume there will be a privileged global sequencer who decides on this ordering (and possibly which posts are included at all): https://github.com/farcasterxyz/protocol/discussions/193

In my opinion, both of these issues are symptoms of an underlying errant philosophy. These projects both want there to be a global source of truth: A single place you can go to guarantee you're seeing all the posts on a thread, from a particular user, etc. On BlueSky that is https://bluesky.app and on Farcaster that is https://warpcast.com .

Advocates of each of these projects of course would dispute this, pointing out that you could always self-host, or somehow avoid depending on their semi-official infrastructure, but the truth is that if you're not on bluesky.app or warpcast.com, you don't exist, and nobody cares that you don't exist.

nostr has eschewed the concept of global source of truth. You can't necessarily be sure you are seeing everything. Conversations may sometimes get fragmented, posts may disappear, and there may be the occasional bout of confusion and chaos. There is no official or semi-official nostr website, app, or relay, and this is a good thing. It means we are actually building a decentralised protocol, not just acting out decentralisation theatre, or pretending we'll get there eventually and that the ends justify the means.

Back when computers were primitive and professional data-centres didn't exist, it was impossible to build mega-apps like Twitter. Protocols had to be decentralised by default -- there was simply no other way. We can learn a lot by looking back to protocols of yesteryear, like Usenet and IRC, and still-popular protocols like email and HTTP. None of these assume global sources of truth, and they are stronger and better for it, as is nostr.

And if you can't see the "Orders" and "Inquiries" tabs up top on the "Messages" page it might be due to the window size; will push a fix if that's the case.


The messages are probably showing up under "Inquiries", so you need to switch over to that tab on the "Messages" page to see them. BTW, we're currently pulling in all NIP-04 DMs, so messages aren't all listing-specific; that will be changed in an upcoming release.

Usernames are also already displayed, they might just not appear due to network issues or latency. Refreshing usually fixes that.


This is what the Network State thesis is all about.

Introducing HAVEN - The Ultimate Relay For Sovereign Individuals
 https://i.nostr.build/eB85EFdyAIOQzeyU.png
HAVEN (High Availability Vault for Events on Nostr) is the next evolution of personal relays that take self sovereignty and decentralization to the next level.

https://github.com/bitvora/haven

It's a 4-in-1 Relay with:

 - Private Relay - for your drafts, ecash/nutsacks and anything else only you should be able to see

 - Chat Relay - for your web of trust to be able to send you DMs or to host private group chats.

 - Inbox Relay - for people to send reactions, zaps and likes to your notes. It also pulls these notes from other relays in real time. Protected by web of trust

 - Outbox Relay - for others to read from. This will contain all the notes that only you publish. Anyone can read, only you can write. Every note sent to your outbox relay will be BLASTR'd to other relays.

It also has many SMART relay features, including:

 - It imports all your old notes to your outbox relay, and imports any note you're tagged in to your inbox relay
 - It protects your relays using your Web of Trust
 - It automatically backs up all your notes to a 3rd party cloud (currently only AWS S3 support - more soon™)
 - It blastr's your notes to other relays

Amethyst users will love this relay because it gives you every relay you need to complete the relay configuration.

It is my hope with this relay that we can significantly increase the decentralization of Nostr by giving people an extremely powerful and reliable personal relay that gives them control over the longevity and privacy of their notes. With more people running personal relays, clients should be more inclined to implement the outbox/inbox model.

You can see HAVEN in action on my personal relay:

 - wss://relay.utxo.one/outbox
 - wss://relay.utxo.one/inbox
 - wss://relay.utxo.one/chat
 - wss://relay.utxo.one/private

I am extremely excited about this release and can't wait to see what the nostriches think of it!

To get started, follow the instructions in the README here:
https://github.com/bitvora/haven


NIP-99 support! Very similar spec to NIP-23, just with "location" and "price" tags added.

New steps achieved today!

 Robosats' federation is sending now notes to clearnet relays, you can now find orders in:

- wss://freelay.sovbit.host
- wss://nostrvista.aaroniumii.com
- wss://nostr.satstralia.com

Furthermore, with the magic of Negentropy,  nostr:npub1m0str0d7z2ww8rdh20t2n9lx520xjwhaq24p68umqp06wwrwtsnqen40un orders found on these relays are being also synchronized to the federation relays, just by using this same action.

That means that now you can find MostroP2P and Robosats orders in a single place 😀 And should be fairly easy for both apps to displays other's orders on their clients!

Thanks  nostr:npub1gnwpctdec0aa00hfy4lvadftu08ccs9677mr73h9ddv2zvw8fu9smmerrq and  nostr:npub1wdsu4yfj6s5vkcktfx2l7y9tvprfsmwp55e2gj5xp266gff0eeks9cjda5 for offering their relays!

Rock good.


I sometimes think about the totality of how many people throughout human history have gotten totally fucked by their governments and had to flee their homes and communities with nothing more than what they had on them.

What has been the economic cost of this, what is the cost of always living in a state of fear that it will happen again?

While it can happen, at least with bitcoin you can keep some of your property beyond the violent expropriations of any government. The value of such a thing cannot be understood by dollars or purchasing power, but only through the cost of life and what real economy security means to someone who has seen just the smallest amount of the horrors of the genocides of the 20th century.


LFG! 🤼♂😂

SEC has just granted accelerated approval for the listing and trading of options on $IBIT.

And you think they are not controlling bitcoin?

- First they created cash-settled futures (Fiat), which made it possible to create paper bitcoin.

- When they already had a huge futures market with the CME, then they gave way to ETFs to be able to control the price, ETFs are also cash settled (Fiat).

- Finally they have approved options, also not redeemed with the underlying, redeemed with Fiat.

You must understand that the three Bitcoin institutional instruments, Futures, ETFs and options all revolve around Fiat and not Bitcoin, they are all cash settled. The only one that affects Bitcoin volume are the ETFs and even then they are not redeemed on the underlying.

They are trying the same play as with gold.

The money changers, i.e. the old bankers (Rothschilds) knew that to get into power they simply had to have as much gold as possible and create the loan/interest system.

This is what they are doing now with Bitcon, taking Bitcon away from the people.

Saifedean explains very well in his book Patron Fiat that in a Bitcoin system it won't make much sense to lend Bitcoin for interest.

What can you do?

 - Never deposit Bitcoin in a bank.
 - Create circular economies, black market, grey market, counter economy.
 - Never pay taxes on Bitcoin.
 - Never give Bitcoin to a government, before they are lost.

Seems some dont realize that nostr relays are powered by http.  The first call to a relay is an http request which is then "upgraded" to a websocket (connection).  Given that it's http, it just works, can get through a firewall, where most p2p fails.  Many dont realize this, in fact, fiatjaf didnt even realize this, until I explained it to him.  The http part is what gives nostr a chance of working where p2p inevitablly fails.


At least with deletes, it works pretty seamlessly. Sure, you can't guarantee your note is actually gone, but from my testing and experience, once I delete, I can't find the note on any client.


While Africans argue about which of the African-resource-evacuation/Lobito-Corridor parties in DC to support in November (because the U.S. is really a militarised 1-party state divided only on issues like pronouns, Algerian Olympic boxers, and fictitious cat-eating Haitians), consider this:

US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken yesterday accused African Stream of being part of a global "Russian propaganda network" while announcing new sanctions against RT. African Stream's YouTube channel, on which I was scheduled to begin hosting a new podcast from next month, has since been suspended by Google.

It is the latest in a tried-and-tested American habit of giving a dog a bad name in order to hang it. In the 19th century, Dr. Samuel Adolphus Cartwright from Mississippi theorised that Africans escaping from slave plantations must be afflicted with a mental problem because slavery was such an elevation from the natural status of an African that any African seeking to be free must be mentally ill. He called the proposed mental illness "Drapetomania," and he published multiple papers suggesting corrective treatments for "Drapetomania."

A century later, during the Cold War, the US State Department and CIA began doing something similar whenever they decided to carry out an assassination or regime change. The CIA accused Patrice Lumimba of being a Soviet-linked Communist, and he was subsequently captured, tortured, murdered and dissolved in sulphuric acid by their Belgian proxies.

The same people also accused Kwame Nkrumah of being a Soviet-linked communist, and the 1966 coup in Ghana was the result. Whenever any African leader emerged with a vision for national or regional growth and independence, the immediate accusation that followed was "The Russians are sponsoring him."

It is a core tenet of American propaganda that Africa is fundamentally not supposed to have ideas, ideologies, thinkers, voices and leaders of its own - the continent exists for mining cheap resources and sending them to the coasts to be shipped to the Places Where Human Beings Actually Live. Africans, you see, are apparently far too stupid and unevolved, with our behind-the-bell-curve gorilla brains, to actually come up with ideas, voices and plans for our own future that do not coincide with the Western model. So when we do come up with these things, there is only one explanation - the Russians did it.

Every single African liberation movement was accused of being Communist Russia's creation because Africans wanting to be free, independent, and economically prosperous must be a symptom of Drapetomania. Even Nelson Mandela, prior to his rebranding as Jesus Morgan Christ Freeman, was also accused of being indoctrinated and sponsored by the Russians.

Unfortunately, the Lobito Corridor People are not capable of changing their worldview or adopting new tactics, because here we are in big 2024 and Blinken is here accusing me and the guys in Nairobi of being Russian government cutouts. This tells me 2 very important things:

1.) The work that African Stream and others in the non-western-controlled African media space are doing is having a real effect in cutting through decades of foreign propaganda and raising the independent consciousness of the new generation of internet-savvy young Africans. The US state propaganda machine cannot keep up with social media, and so it is lashing out with petulant stunts like holding a press conference falsely accusing an independent media platform in Nairobi of being "run by RT" WITH ZERO ATTEMPT AT PROVIDING ANY EVIDENCE FOR SUCH A CLAIM.

2.) Washington DC's Lobito Corridor government is planning to go to war in Africa. The first act in war is controlling the narrative. This is an attempt to destroy sources of alternative viewpoints so that Africans can once again go back to having only "America, woo woo!" as our news. When the information war is won, then the shooting war will commence.

Dear African, you are under direct attack!

Silencing the Press, Silencing Democracy

In Suriname, the government is weaponizing defamation lawsuits, violence, and intimidation to stifle journalists and muzzle free speech. The world stays silent—perhaps we're too small for the global stage to care.

But censorship here is real, and it's growing. As media platforms like Facebook are used to suppress local news outlets, we look to decentralized solutions like Nostr as a lifeline for our democracy. Yet, despite the urgency, we’ve been met with silence from the global community.

Our largest news outlets are under attack, with pages facing deletion. Facebook has become a tool for censorship, with false reports leading to suspended pages. We haven’t received any support, but we refuse to surrender.

Freedom of speech shouldn’t depend on a platform’s whims—or a government’s threats.

Starnieuws, Suriname Herald, SUN News, ABC, Rasonic TV… they all face the same crackdown. The time to act is now.

Aaron Swartz would have loved nostr.

Effectively the culmination of his life’s work.

1999: At the age of 12, he co-authored the RSS 1.0 specification, which is a format for syndicating web content.

2000: Swartz became a member of the Creative Commons organization, which aims to expand the range of creative works available for others to build upon legally.

2002: He founded the Infogami platform, which later merged with Reddit.

2005: Swartz joined Reddit as a co-founder after a merger with Infogami.

2006: He left Reddit and began working on various projects, including the development of the web application framework, "Open Library," which aimed to create a web page for every book ever published.

2008: Swartz was involved in the development of the "Demand Progress" organization, which focused on issues related to internet freedom and government transparency.

 2010: He played a significant role in the campaign against the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and the Protect IP Act (PIPA), advocating for internet freedom. He also developed a tool that allowed users to download large amounts of data from PACER  (Public Access to Court Electronic Records), which was typically behind a paywall.

 2011: Swartz was arrested for downloading a large number of academic journal articles from JSTOR with the intent to distribute them freely.  The U.S. Attorney's Office in Massachusetts pursued the case against Swartz, and he faced the possibility of severe penalties, including up to 35 years in prison.

 2012: On January 11, Aaron Swartz tragically passed away at the age of 26. He allegedly took his own life due to the pressure of government prosecution.

Web of Trust Relay:

This relay looks at who you follow, and who they follow, and saves every note in this trust network automatically.

I added it as my only relay in amethyst and spam is now completely gone.

NIP-99; it's very similar to the long form spec, so it shouldn't be too difficult for the short note clients that do long form already to support.


I had the honor to interview María Corina Machado, the leader of the Venezuelan opposition, about how fiat money was weaponized against the Venezuelan people by the Chávez and Maduro regimes

She says Bitcoin is a "lifeline" and "vital means of resistance" and said that a future democratic Venezuelan government will use Bitcoin to rebuild the national reserves that the Chávistas stole and put Venezuela back on a path to peace and prosperity

I've put out a lot of content in the past few years but I think this is the most important thing I've done -- the implications are vast considering a) Venezuela is one of the world's largest energy exporters with some of the world's largest oil reserves and b) María Corina Machado is not some rogue leader or dictator but a US ally

Look, it’s pretty simple:

If the state can identify you, it can target and kill you.

Doesn’t matter why, it just can.

There is a reason Satoshi was anonymous and why bitcoin isn’t an LLC.

That’s because if you don’t have a physical space or identity to be located, the state can’t physically or economically harm you. With cryptography, you actually have a shot at hiding from the state, and building things that they cannot stop.

Congrats, Alex! 💜🫂


Years ago, every week I drove past properties for sale in the mountains that were 100-2000 acres.

I would dream about ways to buy one of these properties with friends, since the idea of doing it alone seemed out-of-reach, or would turn into me being a landlord for people with nothing personally invested.

I looked for others with a similar desire, and found some, but they were often "all talk and no action".

I finally found a few folks that were willing to hold regular meetings, (which seemed like a miracle), and get tasks completed. I learned a lot, and it helped me fill in some gaps as to how it would all work.

The idea, for me, has grown in several ways. First, was realizing that the group would have to be an investment group first.  This concept alone turns away a lot of the subculture that is attracted to the idea of sharing rural land.

The original idea was to secure a single property, now I see that a network of properties is better. Each plot specializing in what that land best provides, and trading with the others.

I see people on Nostr mentioning Citadels, and realized they may be describing this same desire. Please correct me if I'm wrong!

If I'm correct, then realize that there are enough people wanting to make a new and better reality to have multiple "Citadels" in most states.

My friend had to leave India for a country where free trade was allowed. He was separated from his mother, and she passed away last week. Thankfully, he was blessed to spend her last few days by her side. If free markets and the free movement of people were universally allowed, mothers and their sons wouldn't be separated, and economies would thrive.

One common complaint we hear from Nostr haters is that there is no economic incentive to run relays or that the network will be centralized in a few central big relays. These claims often come from confusion or misunderstandings.

I think this 40s video will clear all the matters and answer all the criticisms: https://cdn.satellite.earth/8e48f90f4889d6d8def300e9d843b9b353375426212f6b6253a8ee6aaaefcf07.mp4

"<thing> doesn't scale" is one of the dumbest things you can say to any new idea. Everything scales. If there are users using it, humans will find ways to scale it.

Scaling issues are always the best problems to have.

Now, if no one uses your thing though.. then it really won't scale. But not because it can't.

Outbox and blastr fix this.


"no clear incentive" argument doesn't cut it, never did.

There is 100m self-hosted sites on the web, and owners _pay_ to host every one of them. Their incentive is their business/hobby/etc. On Nostr, creators/businesses have the same incentive to run their own relays and to pay for good relays to have their notes delivered to followers. There would be at least 10m relays if Nostr got widely adopted, not counting all those phone relays serving as local caches.

Creators pay for web hosting. Creators will pay for nostr relays/media-hosting/etc.

I know free social platforms made this a bit non-obvious, but please look around the web. Hundred million people and businesses pay to have their own online space. Nothing new here.

I would think it's because he's a citizen of France, so they have a more direct legal course of action to pursue him with.


The lesson seems to be more like the state will throw any bullshit around to persecute people building technologies they don't like, meaning systems that use these technologies should be built to be resilient to single points of failure while giving companies plausible deniability that they tried but couldn't enforce restrictions. Compliant noncompliance is the way.

The third point is especially important. For businesses that run unstoppable infrastructure, even if the operators are persecuted, the idea and vision behind the technologies used can still live on. The Pirate Bay is an incredible example of this. Martyrs in the freedom tech space are unfortunately inevitable (and, as I've grown to believe, might actually be necessary), but if things are built right, in a local-first, modular manner, any force that the state throws at us will ultimately fail.

This is the way.


I have been using Nostr for two years now, and the lack of a NIP-09 (event delete) or its equivalent standard on Nostr is, more than ever, a significant privacy and safety issue built into the current version of the protocol.

Snowden warned us of the dangers of a permanent record. Have we not learned anything?

Nostr, as it is right now, is a permanent record that seeks to tie all of your apps and your coin transactions to one key pair.

If that key pair is ever compromised, EVERYTHING is compromised.

If you accidentally doxx yourself, you are HOSED.

It's bad OPSEC. And it sounds like a honeypot waiting to happen.

Amber (event signer) is a decent workaround, but it has not passed a third-party security audit, and I still believe a parent/child key system is the way to go as it does not expand your attack surface by having to depend on a third party to keep all of your Nostr business safe.

Now back to event deletion...

The protocol is the protocol. Relays must use the protocol to participate in the network.

If the protocol requires honoring event deletion requests to participate in the network, then Nostr will have avoided this festering security and safety issue.

If certain #Nostr devs don't stop saying universal post deletes can't happen because of xyz (insert biased limiting belief/excuse here), and start figuring out how it can be done... it's a protocol design that's dead in the water to anything but mostly nameless, faceless anons.

The future is privacy-first, client-side computing, not relays. The clock is ticking.

While you were busy making fun of the UK for criminalizing free speech, the UN finalized its Cybercrime Convention which will overrule bank secrecy and criminalize hacking, whistleblowing, and security research.

The convention, which was finalized last friday, drastically expands government surveillance powers and enables the widespread sharing of personal data between UN member states.

The convention mandates the identification, tracing, confiscation and seizure of "proceeds of crime, property, equipment or other instrumentalities" and the collection of real-time traffic and content data on behalf of requesting member states.

It further mandates member states to establish criminal offences for "the concealment or disguise of the true nature, source, location, disposition, movement or ownership of or rights with respect to property" and  "the conversion or transfer of property [...] for the purpose of concealing or disguising the illicit origin of the property" when committed intentionally.

As the Electronic Frontier Foundation explains, the convention includes "documents saved on personal computers or notes stored on digital devices. In essence, this means that private unshared thoughts and information are no longer safe. Authorities can compel the preservation, production, or seizure of any electronic data, potentially turning personal devices into spy vectors regardless of whether the information has been communicated".

While the treaty defers most articles to the governance of local laws, it states that states "shall not decline to act [...] on the ground of bank secrecy".

Did you know Google Fonts is installed on approximately 111,579,992 websites, with around 50,103,810 of those currently live?

Did you also know if you visit a site that uses Google Fonts, it automatically collects user:

- IP address: Which identifies your device on the internet (as of 2022, Google stopped storing users' IP addresses, but they still collect this information).

- User agent: Information about your browser and operating system.

- Referer: The URL of the webpage you are visiting.

...and is therefore "out-of-the-box" in violation of GDPR law?

If you are a website visitor:

You can block 3rd party fonts (web fonts) with uBlock Origin.

1. Open uBlock Origin's dashboard.

2. Go to the "My filters" tab.

3. Add the following line to block Google Fonts:

*$font,third-party

4. Click "Apply changes" to save the filter rule.
There is an even stricter option that blocks ALL remote fonts (not just Google Fonts) that you can activate by selecting "Block remote fonts" in the extension's settings.

*Sites that do not display properly can be excluded from the block.

If you are a website owner:

You can protect your visitors' privacy by hosting your own fonts locally (on the same server as your web pages), using basic OS fonts, or checking out Bunny.

If you haven't heard of Bunny CDN, they offer the only fully GDPR-compliant fonts powered by a CDN as a drop-in replacement for Google fonts.

According to Bunny:

"Bunny Fonts is an open-source, privacy-first web font platform designed to put privacy back into the internet.

With a zero-tracking and no-logging policy, Bunny Fonts helps you stay fully GDPR compliant and puts your users' personal data into their own hands."

https://bunny.net/fonts/

As a side note: Bunny CDN also has one of the most transparent, easy-to-read and understand privacy and data policy pages I have ever seen.

Well done Bunny, well done.

Good thread. The namespace value accrual is definitely something I see happening as the protocols grow larger and the applications built on top of them start developing some sort of moat.


The US just recommended a 30-year prison sentence for alleged Bitcoin Fog operator Roman Sterlingov.

Sterlingov's case became known as the case to "put cryptocurrency tracing on trial", as much of the evidence presented was collected using Chainalysis' blockchain analysis software Reactor – The prosecution "haven’t pointed to any smoking-gun digital evidence retrieved from Sterlingov’s possessions or devices", as WIRED reported following Sterlingov's arrest.

Chainalysis described Sterlingov's guilty verdict as setting precedent for "Chainalysis blockchain analytics being used by prosecutors as evidence when they take criminals to court", arguing that the verdict "affirms the ways in which our solutions have become the industry standard, made possible by our partners in government who use our tools everyday to fight illicit activity".

The only problem: experts believe that the government's got the wrong guy, and that the jury has convicted a user of Bitcoin Fog as its operator – arguing that Chainalysis' tools are "flawed" and "shouldn't be trusted to convict defendants when they face decades in prison".

2024 is the year of dangerous precedents in which not just your right to privacy is on the line, but the very question of how much science matters in a court of law when it comes to BTC.

Mexico City is not far and very developed.


Since the finance sector of the economy (investing, lending, payment processing, etc) just enables other things we more directly care about, the more efficient it is the smaller share of economic activity it should be.

Ideally the financial sector should be a half or a quarter of its current share of GDP. It should slip into the background.

The financialization of everything is largely attributable to bad money and bad structural incentives.

When considering the reality of things, I agree. In my hopeful middle-ground utopia, taxes would be the only source of income a government has, and anything that falls outside of that budget wouldn't be paid for by the public sector.


Do you think paying taxes counts as paying for public parking? In my eyes, anything owned and operated by the state should be free to me as long as I pay my taxes.


alt A GIF of Jack Nicholson nodding his head up and down.


If it's parking on public spaces, those are operated by the government, which inherently means it's not priced or operated by the free market.

And what if you're only parking for a few minutes in a private lot? Sometimes the minimum time you can pay for is substantially higher than the time you'll be occupying the space.


What if the parking is operated by the state (public street parking)?
