 THE COMMON ECONOMIC PROTOCOLS
Version 3, by Paul Rosenberg

1. The purpose of The Common Economic... 
 came here to post this but you were faster :D  
 its not worth it. i cant find the sources now but its been debunked as another privacy phone garbage. they run outdated andoirds, have their own apps for stuff, its supposedly very slow and horrible ux

get a pixel with grapheneos and be happy 
 If anyone has a copy of the BTClock git repo, shoot me an anon dm on nostr or hit me up on Matrix... 
 me too! 
 Okay so TL;DR

Coinkite makes blockclock mini and sells it for $400, closed source

nostr:npub1k5... 
 opensats board by day, harassing open source plebs by night

 I kind of hate drawing lines like this, but honestly, at this point in the game, if you have any ... 
 I really wonder how many atrocities does this cunt need to do for his cult followers to stop defending him so religiously? 

The cult of NVK is one of the biggest blindspots in bitcoin ecosystem and at this point could be the material for great study on how much of an  absolute fucking asshole you can be if you've done couple of cool things in your life.

 damn, i wish i'd qualify, i'm crawing for some good cyberpunk thriller  
 today i learned how to allow specific IP addresses to bypass wireguard tunnels

this is a set of ... 
 geofencing services is such a fucking horrible experience, I need a home country vpn to access fucking utilities websites etc. 

these ppl really live in the village they were born their whole lifes  and think everyone is the same. 
 yeah i'm a wireguard fan myself, switched over from camp openvpn couple years ago, tho as you said tooling and docs are quite lacking compared to openvpn imho 
 gm, as the price goes nuts, those that can eliminate the noise and focus on building will be on top. 
 I've done a few of these and i still can't claim 100% immunity from distractions of bull markets 😅  
 2% inflation target is a well known thing,the real rates are of course different 

for example:

 When I think about stopping, I remind myself that my enemies are sharpening their swords. 
 testing software nowadays:
1) git clone repo
2) docker compose up 
3) disable all docker security hardening 
4) try docker compose up again
5) discover that everything was designed to work on developers macbook and nowhere else
6) rm -rf repo
7) buy a farm 
 Updated relay stats for you data nerds.

 Who is building Polymarket on nostr? 
 delphi market can be a good start  https://github.com/ekzyis/delphi.market  
 looks a lot like my last fight (a lifetime ago). Except that we also had drinks after 🍻  
 I've met some people along the way
Some of them split, some of them stay
Some of them walk, some walk on by
Got a few friends I'll love 'til I die

 I thought we are all here because we want to maximize freedom, not because we want to belong to a cult. 

We should use all of the tools available to make a better world, and it doesnt really matter who or what created them as long as they provide solutions towards a better future. 

We are building for freedom. its hard enough as it is to fight the forces of centralization and compliance without fighting between ourselves and creating new divides.

 this is not so much about pubky as it is about the sentiment of the statement.

the quoted note is not "i've evaluated the tech and in my opinion it doesn't have anything useful in it". It caries an ignorant tone and dogmatic thinking. 

as for pubky, time will tell as the announcement is very fresh, tho at least pkarr/pkdns can be interesting and have been used by other projects fairly successfully afaik.  
 I don't care about #Pubky. I'm NostrOnly.

I think this is so profound that that I actually spent time figuring out how to download the video from twitter to upload it natively on nostr.

 and it seems that huberman is becoming slightly more based and less worried about upsetting the powers at be which might lead to more real hard truths 
 now that  @TheGuySwann has some ppl possibly rethinking opsec here's a cheap hack - leave an old android phone in your room that has https://alfred.camera/ installed and get notifications if anything is happening.  Its an easy thing anyone can do. 

I'dnt advocate to use it for home security due to its cloud nature and videos ended up god knows where but as a temporary measure it can be great in many situations where you need some assurance that your things were not tampered with. 

I've used it on travel and as a an surveillance system and it works decently.

 next meme is "opens a browser and couch is on fire" 
 i just love it when i send a gpg encrypted email and i get a plaintext reply (with the original email text quoted obviously) 
 well in this case it was a very technical person, but more importantly it shows a very big weakness in gpg as a security mechanism - both parties have the ability to fuck up or decide to break the established privacy because nothing is enforcing adherence to the initially established level of privacy  
 The other shoe that is waiting to drop: compute. 

Transferring and storing information is the ne... 
 encryption decentralizes everything - if you can run your code on any machine with cryptographic proofs that the code you're executing is the code you want and that the runtime is not accessible to the host combined with the encryption of data (which is relatively solved problem already) then we can push the cloud is somebody elses computer meme to the max. 


decentralization of compute is a game changer, it is also something that can potentially bootstrap a lot of decentralized economy.  Every spare cpu/gpu cycle and internet connection can and should be monetized. 
 Nostr as distributed agents operating networks 
 nostr has the potential to be the greatest marketplace tool for M2M due to the way its designed.  We already have DVMs as agents on the network but we need more building  blocks so that the demand from outside of nostr ecosystem can be matched with supply from within 
 its funny seeing normies celebrating how they will be able to buy more fiat with their bitcoin when it hits 100k.

selling the most performing asset for one that rots away 20% of its value every year really sounds like a trade of the century  
 Could not resist making awesome-pubky -> https://pubky.tech/ 
 Due to lack of time and resources I'd be willing to part with nostr.eu and nostr.uk for a serious price. Keep in mind that i'm bullish on nostr so the offer should reflect that.

Also open to renting agreements. 
 i'd rather use the domain to show that cunts cunt on it

 Feeling more free every day. A random piece of paper from some fat bureaucrat is now preventing people to speak (code is speech).

 If ChainAnalysis exists and it's extremely profitable, NostrAnalysis will also exist.

GM.  
 i thought nostr.band is already it, at least directionaly?  tho I think there's a difference, what makes cuntanalysis a company is the "proprietary" data that they attach to it and then put people in prison based on 5years  old leadked datbase downloaded from a darknet forum. 

in nostr attribution already exits since we're all signing our own notes to prove they are ours. Tho maybe they find all my nyms?? xD
