Do you use Discord? What's stopping you from moving your Discord community to Nostr? We have communities and public chats too. With Nostr, you could spin up a private relay just for your community. And the best part? You're not using a centralized company that could rug you and your community. What else do you need?


What do you mean by lottery mining?
do I get it if I think that since technically I am losing on electricity and on the cost of the miner - I will never make it up mining in a pool. But I could mine solo and just might get a reward?


I think (because I set it up ages ago) that at home I run my own DNS caching service routing queries through tor.

Maybe I should check what it actually does.


What is the benefit of bitaxe? Is it that millions of this little fella will help decentralise the network? Because I don't that it is profitable.

what is the point of paying in #bitcoin for #VPN?

The transaction is still largely traceable to me.
If the VPN company does not log the traffic I bet they still hold the financial records. So there will be a trace of me buying the service.
But not actually using it.

if there would be a user IP linked to the VPN ID, then it can be as easily linked to FIAT as to #BTC transaction.

I guess with #monero it might be slightly different, but I don't understand how it works

Could explain it to me?

I did not get at all what you wrote :(


in understand that installing any extensions on #torbrowser is strongly discouraged. That's precisely why I am looking around.


do you mean that say buying the S19 today would cost 0.03BTC
and the expected ROI would be 2y (at today's prices)

then most of you hear is - "yeah but the bull run - BTC 5x"

the bull would then respectively shorten ROI but counted in BTC it would actually be much more than 2y (considering halving and increase in mining difficulty)


Have thought for some time that the best way to accomplish this is with a servant/master system. Servant pubkey is the main that you use regularly. Servant identifies a master pubkey, with the note that does so including a small snippet of signed text from the master. The master would ideally be a cold-storage derivation that sees nearly no use.
The master would only have one primary purpose, that being account replacement. It can send a note that identifies an account as burned, and identifies the replacement. Said note should be signable as airgapped. Clients would then swap over to the replacement and otherwise maintain continuity of messages.


I wrote a note about this type of issue yesterday. My feeling is that the key we use day to day should be a secondary key that can be changed by signing an event with a primary key (preferably a hardware one). Rationale being that the key used to log in day to day is frequently e posed to apps using it so is at a higher risk and should be quick and easy to drop.

For bigger social media users the 30 days could be pretty problematic as from my understanding the compromised key would still be what most clients see as the real identity.


If you had a way to preserve your nostr identity so that you could recover from someone compromising your nsec and it required writing a note in your nostr client, would you do it?

Repost for visibility, want to see what people think.


I honestly don't think #tor exit node matters in this scenario.
If I use tor to connect to client online - the client does not know my IP but then the relays know the IP of the client.
So if this is client at my home - they know my home IP

Using #torborowser makes most sense to connect to untrusted sites - public clients. But then we are at my first question - how to safely login?


so you mean use a #FOSS #nostr client with #torbrowser, so that the keys are relatively safe.

But then what is the point of using #tor since the client is under my control and possibly on local network anyway. Would then the client not expose the IP anyway?

Or do I have it wrong?


I don't really care about the spam. as you said, I control it myself anyway.
I guess paid relays are in theory could be more reliable, they might be faster I guess(?). But I don't buy the nostr:npub18ams6ewn5aj2n3wt2qawzglx9mr4nzksxhvrdc4gzrecw7n5tvjqctp424 comment on paid being superior due to reduction of spam.


I am not sure I follow what you wrote.

I do see the necessity of free relays. I just don't see the benefit of paid ones as a "reduction of spam". If one uses free relays at the same time there would be spam anyway. But since i mainly look at posts of people I follow - I sort of prevent the spam myself.

And since the recommendation is to have just few relays. I don't see network effect of running private ones. it just does not make sense to join them.


if using paid relays is reducing spam then using free ones brings it back so I  am sort of confused on the advantages of either approach.

And I support the comment on centralisation.
Having a network of relays prevents censorship. Anyone can start a relay but whats' the point of nobody else is using it? I could post my heart out but nobody will see it until I won't use one of the big ones.
There seem to be something inherently broken with this approach.


this very much looks like the blue guy from Monsters inc


so how would I use #nostr with #torbrowser?
I should not install any extensions, so how do I securely login?

is anyone using nostr this way?

#asknostr


I guess I am more interested in #nostr being more protective in privacy-vulnerable situations and reveling less of the metadata.
For example. if I want to hide my IP I need to go through VPN, tor or maybe tor through VPN.
That's kind of IT-heavy.
So I could use #torbrowser as an out-of the box solution.
But I should not install any extensions in the torbrowser, so how do I securely login to nostr  then?


Thank you. I will try.


I am not the tech whizz but I guess the IP. Who you DM and when. Who do you follow?


My question is about #privacy. Not censorship.


This should not be too difficult. say 15y prison sentence for expressing forbidden views.

Say the sentence is not executed under condition to keep quiet. Protocol cannot be censored. People can.


Just curious.
Are there any plans to increase #nostr #privacy?

Censorship resistant as a platform won’t help much in a long run.It is fairly easy to censor the person when identified. “Don’t use the DM” doesn’t really help much.

I think you could make it public through tor.
Everyone that knows the address and is on tor could connect.

If that’s not what you want then you probably need to have public ip with your isp. Then bind your isp ip to domain. E.g. you could use afraid.org
Then you only need to make your relay port to be accessible
