 Of course, you can audit the proof system. New one is called Sephardis. It separates view and spend proofs iirc. Which will make it easier to audit. Still not something most people will do. 

In this context it doesn't make much different because an average bitcoin fag is too lazy and unskilled to audit bitcoin core or even to read the white paper.  
 Exactly, time saved and can be used for productive activities like smoking weed, masturbating and eating cheetos.

 7 Rules of Monero

1. Never say how much Monero you have.

2. Never say how much Monero you have.... 
 No. It underperformed BTC by 80% in the last 5 years.

 This is the wrong way to look at it. We have gotten used to content and services being free, and the only way to provide that is via ads, and targetted ads in particular. It's not hard to opt out of algorithmic feeds and use search like a properly developed mind. It's not hard to block ads. Then those services are actually quite valuable and beneficial. 

I never used social media much because I just don't see how it can benefit me. What's the point of talking to strangers unless I got something to sell or buy ?

Nostr will fail at replacing regular social media but it doesn't matter. It needs to find a profitable niche for itself.

Nostr is thick client architecture, so development will be centralized around Amethyst and Damus. There is no need for more than a handful devs. Amethyst tries to add every possible feature and it makes the UI confusing and spreads dev time thin. Once again, a properly incentivized niche needs to be found and focused on. Otherwise, Nostr will join IPFS in the garden of failed projects.  
 This is just to point into the right direction before I leave Nostr. Yes, this account is pure nonsense. I'm just sizing up the userbase. 

I actually want Nostr to become more popular. I'll give you one more hint. It needs to provide better UX than the Tor browser. You can make more money without having a boss if you tap into the scene. Just need balls and imagination.  
 Not classified. I never worked for government agencies and likely never will. They don't pay well, and theyre lame. Still better not to publicize it as it will be against the terms of service of anything that relies on DNS. These days I don't have the patience for writing software or maintaining servers, I'm more on the auditing and architecture side. 

I was looking for relays that are DNS free / onion only and couldn't find any. Tor integration is an afterthought. Maybe I just didn't look well enough. 

If you have a few hours free time a week, you can create something better than existing solutions but on Nostr with better UX. Send me a DM if you want more details.
 
 #nostr will not replace social media, because free relays will not scale to the desired network effect. Paid relays will survive at 5k daily active users. Those will not use nostr for social media. 

What's the problem with social media in general? It's likely you, lazy unskilled nigger. There is no incentive to read mainstream news (yid propaganda) or to see political garbage reverberated by primitive minds. 

The silver lining is that when the hype is over in a couple of years, the users of paid relays will still have decent client apps making the UX of browsing deepnet significantly better.  
 ArmaLite is mightier than both of those  
 It's not murder if they're an enemy of your government😉

 Flutter is the best for you. Cross platform, WYSIWYG UI editor, more efficient than Electron. Being a noob, you won't complain about Dart. Once you learn it, you can call JS monkeys nigger faggots. They deserve it.

 Vitalik and his gang will mint 90% of the ETH. Proof of stake is a scam. Additionally, there are various attacks that allow double spending. Those can only be solved by centralized verifier servers. Proof of stake = magic bean yid scam to be exploited.  
 It is quite shocking that #bitcoin fags in their majority are blissfully unaware of Dr Back being the author of the white paper. Stay ignorant, my niggaz, it's your superpower

 Why? They were making fun of blue collar workers 10-15 years ago. "Learn to code, faggot". Now it's "Learn to plumb". Fuck those niggaz, especially JS monkeys.  
 I don't need them. The economy doesn't need them. It was a fluke that that many devs were hired in the first place. If you understand open source, you know how much wasted effort was in the field. Plus, it's boring as fuck. It's all for the better. 95% gone within 5 years. You'll see.  
 Desktop Ganoo Lennox is a failure. In terms of adoption and default hardening 
 Its not about fiat number go up, its about separating money and state. 
 Bitcoin fags are mostly greedy hoarders and speculators. Your message will be lost on them. If you care about freedom, you should promote illegal trade.

 Dead and failed project that is only used for hosting meme NFT pictures for some shitcoin. That is despite being integrated into Brave. Nostr is likely gonna be the same in 2-3 years or even sooner if the crypto winter intensifies.

 That's called an imageboard. Should be relatively simple to implement it. But do you want the type of content and users this format attracts? 😀

 Feminism has been laced with fentanyl  
 Not anymore. Fentanyl is illegal in China now. It is made by Mexican cartels.  
 Yeah, cannot export it like 15 years ago. Doesn't really matter it's shit compared to heroin in terms of duration and rush. Now gotta pay top dollar to get unlaced black tar.  
 It's from zerohedge, so sources are likely shit. Also, they're equating/conflating trafficking and manufacturing. No mention of how the CCP changed laws to help the DEA.  
 Tranq is not a drug. It's a combo. It's just benzos and fent. Nothing new about retards mixing benzos and opies together. The tissue death is likely due to impurities. Or it's propaganda aimed at cowardly and gullible folk.  I just like to smoke black tar once in a while. It's good enough as it is. 
 
 Laws may be a charade but they create and maintain numerous jobs. Fent is not a problem. Just needs to be measured carefully.  
 I saw a vice report about it and I have big doubts about anyone wanting to use that. I thought it was a benzo. I'd try it with proper dosages. That article is a joke. Sample size 1. IV user. Same myth was wide spread about desomorphine. And similar shit said about cocaine and booze by pussy ass niggaz who never do cocaine. It's bad taste to tell not to try something if you have no experience with such 
 Hate 
 Hah yeah, something like that. I don't remember at this point. Mastodon also tends to hate crypto probably cause they're pinkos.  
 Bitcoin is the first step. It is not in itself the final step. XMR is the second. 
 Doge/LTC is the second. XMR is 3rd.  
 Here's a fun / painful challenge depending how you look at it:

 I joined mastodon.social a year ago, they banned me within 2 days cause I posted a video of a robot saying nigger. 

I simply don't like the micro blogging format in general. Chat rooms feel a lot more organic and fun.  
 People will tell you to use Lemmy or kbin instead if you're topic focused. But those are totally unnecessary. Just create accounts on forums and blogs like it was before reddit.  
 4/20 is also the stoners day, and Hitler's birthday, cause he's the biggest pothead

 Sometimes they are. Especially for Bluetooth. Check the layout of your phone SoC.  
 Why not get a hardware wallet? It's pretty much exactly what you want.  
 Quick search suggests Trezor. I've never used a hardware wallet. If I needed one, I'd make one myself.  
 Welcome. You are likely greatly overestimating your threat level. Hardened Android in airplane mode is totally fine. $300 you put into building and configuring your own wallet is well worth it in terms of gained skill. The scene needs more physical projects like that instead of another bullshit service for speculation

 Once the speculatory fever is gone. Unlikely as it is. BTC will have close to zero trade volume. American government will create ETFs and you'll see how that plays out.  
 They will use ETFs to reduce the trading volume to zero, and thus being in control of the price. It doesn't matter if you switch to superior coins. Let BTC rot, it has far outlived its usefulness 
 Are you a speculator? If so, go ahead :) 
 You can buy poison on the dark web with XMR 😂
