Is there some specific aspect of slack that has contributed more to your hatred?

I think for me the worst aspect of Slack, and pretty much every chat application like it, is that it's so invasive on my attention. They are all guilty of this, so I can't say it's just Slack.


NOSTR is better if you follow randos only.


I have a buddy that is, I can ask him.


That's fair. Personally I feel it's number one, but it's because I am currently in an "old movies only" phase as a cinephile.

Not really, I'm just tinkering with a programming library. I was just trying to see if you can fetch events from some arbitrary amount of time.

Like "give me all events that mention me in the last ten minutes"

You can do this, You just add a `since` property to the filter.

I have thought that a possible end state of nostr is that there will be some small relays and some large ones. In theory you would have participants who never, in their lifetime, are aware of other groups. Except for a few black sheep who are curious about other groups maybe.

This is part of the beauty of NOSTR, is that it mimics the natural organization of peoples and cultures. It empowers groups to be what they are, with their own norms and taboos.

https://image.nostr.build/e491cc71ee412b272e0ef3cf00248eacd96051e6934597580dd9283c1507159f.jpg


I hope there is a day when all break free from the tiny box of thought we have been confined to for a long time.


Once you realize it you are free to consider other things, that otherwise you would think too heretical to consider.


One of the most liberating realizations you can have is that libertarian and the woke are born of the same thing: Liberalism. These two groups are the same, their end states are the same.


Learning is fun.

I can't say for certain it was Freerse. I was playing around with a few clients at the same time.

Overall my experience was positive, though.


"progressive" is older than that.

https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=progressive&year_start=1600&year_end=2019&corpus=en-2019&smoothing=50


TIL that "social justice" has been a concept since the 1800s

https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=social+justice&year_start=1800&year_end=2019&corpus=en-2019&smoothing=0


In https://github.com/mikedilger/chorus/blob/master/docs/PERSONAL_RELAY.md#the-dark-side

It says that if there are too many relays it would make NOSTRs usability bad, because clients would have to establish too many SSL connections (the 's' in https).

Is it possible to set up some sort of relay, that is in fact a load balancer of some kind that will serve as an SSL termination point?

Then you could in theory have a way to reduce the amount of SSL certificates?

I don't think I fully understand how termination works yet. It might only work for multiple instances of a single relay. Plus a bunch of other complications I am not aware of.

Plus it would be a point of failure if relays forwent having their own SSL certs.


You could also say "Just move somewhere you do" but that isn't really realistic, if there is no other place to go. OR I lose the choice after I move.

Not to mention costs of moving, etc.


What options would people have to run software on the internet? Obviously you can say "run your own infrastructure" but some ISPs block a lot of ports. I know mine does, and I don't really have alternative options for ISP in my area.


You know, besides simply abstaining from using it altogether.


This was spawned from the realization that being on an social media of any kind, even nostr, gives me cancer. So how do I participate, without being exposed to things that make me unhappy.


Maybe you can see your past threads, and if you do you can see replies to it, in that case. It is configurable so it can have 210 characters limit per note, for example.


A client just for authoring threads. It has no feed to speak of. You just have a nice, simple, interface for writing your notes before you yeet them into the NOSTR void.

Anyone who is for UBI does not care about human wellbeing, in my opinion.


Not even degenerate-lite, like smoking weed or something, but worse than that. Not to mention UBI will result in generations of people who have never gotten anything for themselves, only by taking things from someone else.


I also have to say no to UBI of any kind, also. Once you turn people into dependents they basically get stuck like that. They basically become degenerate.


I have also been unemployed, and I was borderline suicidal after a few weeks. I know I can be dour, but it's nothing compared to the darkest depths that await me when the day comes when I have no reason to get out of bed anymore and provide.


Obviously I am painting with a broad brush here. Additionally I this is from the perspective from someone who likes laboring, who likes working. Even my worst jobs were valuble to me. Granted more in hindsight, but still.


I'll never understand the blind optimism towards AI, but more generally technology as a whole. The idea that eliminating all human labor is good (eventually), also.

Obviously there is no way to enforce such a thing, I just find it increasingly frustrating to be faced with people who I perceive to be trapped in one way of thinking. No matter where I go.

But maybe I'm the one trapped, you know? Also who am I?


For starters, I can only see a small sliver of what is true. There is much I don't know, that I can't factor into my model of the world. From the get go that means I am either completely wrong, or what I think is true is actually incomplete.


It should be mandatory in debates to explain why you might be wrong.

I find a general application of tact is a good bulwark against getting banned. Also I have no other social media, so maybe it isn't the tact at all. 🤷♂


Everytime I start to think about quitting Nostr, something cool happens and it pulls me back in.


I relate to this a little. As much as I can without fully understanding the circumstances.

It's probably not much consolation, but keep your head down and one day you'll look back and wonder why you cared so much.

This is coming from my experience, so maybe not 100% applicable. But it is true.

When Napstr?


Who better to build a new holy land of truth than Bitcoiners and Nostriches?

Below are a few essays for some high level ideas on how this could be done:

https://graymirror.substack.com/p/designing-the-ministry-of-truth
https://graymirror.substack.com/p/twitter-should-be-in-the-truth-business


This is an opportunity for NOSTR. NOSTR, through the apps that are built on top of it, can become a place where the truth will be found.


However, from what I have heard and indirectly observed (I am not on twitter). Twitter is still a long ways off from fulfilling it's potential as this new source of the truth, beloved by all.


He has argued that, because of this there is now a spot for a new institution to come in and supplant the NYTs. Typically referring to twitter as that institution. Or at least having the potential to becoming that institution.


One of my favorite writers, Curtis Yarvin, in various podcasts has observed that the NYT has vacated it's position as the most trustworthy and high quality source of the truth. I can't currently recall which.


It used to be we had instiutions that were highly trusted. The NYT was, at one time, considered the crème de la crème of new sources. It still is depending on who you ask.


In fairness, clients can easily calculate the difference of character limits.

Maybe. NOSTR isn't twitter.


What was it about his portrayal that broke the immersion for you?


The nice thing about Bitcoin is the high level concepts are nebulous enough you easily deflect when you get tired of trying to explain it to a layman.


at the protocol level


I don't have any issues with clients setting a character limit. I just don't agree that typing 211 characters means I have to go to another client to write a long form post.


Imposing character limits on kind1 is lame. Impose limits on yourself and let the rest of us be as verbose or concise as we want.

This post aims to summarize the intention of [Pull Request #1076][1] for the NOSTR protocol.

If you do not know what a pull request is, or what github is I have links below in the [resources](#resources) section.

In simple terms, github is a place to store files and keep track of their changes over time. A pull request is a way to suggest changes to the file, or files, owner

## Summary

The primary aim of this PR is to bring greater clarity to the NOSTR protocol.

To achieve this clarity, the developer of the Amethyst client suggests moving the definition of the `kind:1` (a simple text note) to a different NIP (see [resources](#resources)). His rationale is that because [NIP-01][01] is marked as mandatory, developers assume that `kind:1` notes are mandatory to implement in their clients, which is not the case.

There is ongoing discussion about establishing more information about what the `kind:1` can do, such as:

- Can they be used to reply to other note kinds?
- Can they be used in DMs?
- Can they preview images?

This is just a sample, but no discussion has been happening because of where the `kind:1`is currently defined.

At the time of writing, the PR has had a little push back. Mostly centered around use (or misuse) of the `kind:1` in various clients.

This post aims to summarize the intention of [Pull Request #1076][1] for the NOSTR protocol. If you do not know what a pull request is, or what github is I have links below in the resources section. In simple terms, github is a place to store files and keep track of their changes over time. A pull request is a way to suggest changes to the file, or files, owner

## Summary

The primary aim of this PR is to bring greater clarity to the NOSTR protocol.

To achieve this clarity the developer of the Amethyst client suggests moving the definition of the `kind:1` note to a different NIP (see [resources](#resources)). His rationale is that because [NIP-01](https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/01.md) is marked as mandatory that developers assume that `kind:1` notes are also mandatory to implement

"Cut every human relation which has anywhere grown uneasy sheer asunder; reduce whatsoever was compulsory to voluntary, whatsoever was permanent among us to the condition of nomadic:—in other words, loosen by assiduous wedges in every joint, the whole fabric of social existence, stone from stone: till at last, all now being loose enough, it can, as we already see in most countries, be overset by sudden outburst of revolutionary rage; and, lying as mere mountains of anarchic rubbish, solicit you to sing Fraternity, &c., over it, and to rejoice in the new remarkable era of human progress we have arrived at."

Thomas Carlyle — Latter-Day Pamphlets No. 1 The Present Time

#quote  #Carlyle


"To rectify the relation that exists between two men, is there no method, then, but that of ending it? The old relation has become unsuitable, obsolete, perhaps unjust; it imperatively requires to be amended; and the remedy is, Abolish it, let there henceforth be no relation at all. From the "Sacrament of Marriage" downwards, human beings used to be manifoldly related, one to another, and each to all; and there was no relation among human beings, just or unjust, that had not its grievances and difficulties, its necessities on both sides to bear and forbear."

Thomas Carlyle — Latter-Day Pamphlets No. 1 The Present Time

#quote  #Carlyle


"Certainly the notion everywhere prevails among us too, and preaches itself abroad in every dialect, uncontradicted anywhere so far as I can hear, That the grand panacea for social woes is what we call 'enfranchisement,' 'emancipation;' or, translated into practical language, the cutting asunder of human relations, wherever they are found grievous, as is like to be pretty universally the case at the rate we have been going for some generations past."

Many people cannot think. They often operate on how a word or concept feels.

Let's take innovation, it has a good feeling and therefore all innovations are good. You can apply  this to almost any concept and determine how people will claim to think about it.

Let's do a couple more:

Democracy feels good - all democracy is good
Politics feels bad - politics is bad (yet politics and democracy are the same thing)

Progress feels good - all progress is good.

No, paying for someones services or product is entirely different than dangling rewards / money to get people to jump.

"Hey if you pretend to be happy more I will give you a zap"

Ultimately people are going to do what they want, regardless of what I think (as they should, after all who am I?).

The interesting thing about this whole NIP-37 (editable notes) saga is it's only a draft. it isn't officially part of the protocol yet. Yet it is fully implemented by the author in his client according to his specification. Despite there being competing specs for the same NIP in the works from the Coracle dev (links are on the bottom)

From the discussion I read, it looks like most of the contributors like the Coracles better than the one implemented by Amethyst.

So what now?

In his essay On Doing the Right Thing, author Albert Jay Nock writes:

"The point is that any enlargement, good or bad, reduces the scope of individual responsibility, and thus retards and cripples the education which can be a product of nothing but the free exercise of moral judgment."

The "enlargement" is in reference to the effect of expansion of laws.

The negativity you'll immediately experience as soon as a project catches on can be depressing and it's one of the reasons why some people can't emotionally deal with building in the open.

Most successful projects have their personal cult of haters that keep harassing the developers. I've experienced this myself. It is what it is. The haters will hate. The builders will build.

Please be mindful about this and encourage the builders around you if you like what they're doing. Even a small comment goes a long way.


I'm beginning to notice the early stages of  feeling contempt for people who can't or won't read long form.

More the latter, I think.


Imagine if you were walking down the street and someone, unbidden, approached you and started to give you advice about your clothes. You'd want to punch that person in the face or tell them to fuck off. Because it's rude to do that.

Telling people to fuck off is just setting boundaries.

Setting boundaries is good for you.

From an older Bitcoiner, enjoy the journey, it is much, much more fun than the destination.


I've been sleeping on this. I think this is in large part because the kind of goals you are encouraged to set or seek—like some many other things in modernity—are kind of warped. Additionally people are not really trained or encouraged to think and reflect on what is truly best for themselves—more cynically maybe many simply do not have this ability.

Modern society says "Get an education, Buy a house, live the American Dream" (if you're in the US) as if these things are universal things that are garunteed to give everyone fulfillment. It's all based on the notion that people are the same (i.e. equal). Turns out people are not the same, across almost any axis.

People have different strengths, different weaknesses. The things that will give them meaning and fulfillment are different. A Billionaire will be driven by different forces than someone in the middle class, the lower class, or under class. Some people are driven to achieve, some to earn money, others by power, other still to live a life of purely seeking pleasure. They should be allowed to do so. It is a mistake to try to put everyone in the same box, to desire the same things, or to think the same, or even speak the same. They should be allowed to be what they are and they should not be changed to be something they are not.

For myself: I wanted a nice car, to own a home, to earn a really good salary. I have done all of those things, and while it did feel good for a time, they were ultimately empty achievements for me.  In hindsight, I often wonder if I would have been happier if I had become a carpenter and started a family young instead. Maybe not. I can't change the past, I am where I am.

For any young person reading this: Don't be in a rush to do what everyone else is doing. Don't be in a rush to do what society says is good for you. You have to decide that for yourself. Whatever path you choose, seek to be excellent in it no matter what it is.

Whoever needs to hear this... the bitcoin community throws a lot at you and can feel overwhelming in terms of shaping your views of everything.

I like the people in Oklahoma. Friendliest I've encountered so far.


I'm torn.

On one hand:

What makes NOSTR, as it currently is, great is that it's niche and for the most part I am surrounded by the like-minded. As more people show up that will dilute over time.

It will get harder to interact with people because I will get buried as follow lists get larger. Effectively I might never interact with some of you ever again.

On the other:

The protocol will help some people escape algo hell. That is also good. I might find other follows, interact with other people, etc.

One of the things I like about the Bitcoin and NOSTR developer community is, they aren't reinventing the wheel.

The thing that I remember about my days in Ethereum is that everything had to be a blockchain, or have a token/NFT/smart contract.

Whatever reinvention was being done it had to include those things.

Not here. You're just using what we have and building on top of it when needed.

PrivacyTechPro tip: Be careful that your Wi-Fi name does not include sensitive details like your family name etc.

If so, you are just a search away from being doxxed.

Did you know the #Google Maps car also collects and catalogs wireless network names? #Microsoft and #Wigle do the same.

The good news is you can (and should) opt out.

Give your wireless network a new name with "_nomap" at the end to prevent Google from collecting your router's information.

EX: "YourWifiName_nomap"

Microsoft requires "_optout", but it can be anywhere in the network name.

If you want to block both from collecting and storing your wireless network information, this example would work.

"YourWifiName_optout_nomap"

Wigle wireless mapping service accepts both options so this format would be sufficient.

I wonder if there is a correlation between foot fetishism and the quality of footwear.


Bitcoin has 100,000,000 Sats per coin and in Lightning you have millisatoshis,  so there is no issue with price.

Layer 2's like lightning allow almost fee free instant payments and other L2's and sidechains solve lots of scaling issues.

BCH is not decentralised and only scales slightly greater than BTC.

Also, do you really need to keep every single transaction on a blockchain. i.e. does a coffee seller in Perth, Australia really need to keep a copy of a pizza seller selling a pizza in Rome 15 years earlier?

Fast payments have different needs to settlement layers.

I would suggest researching the banking RTGS (Real Time Gross Settlement System). It is the layer banks use for settlement between themselves and has a capacity of around 9 TPS. This is what I believe Bitcoin Layer is becoming with Layer 2's and sidechains providing faster payment solutions.

Personally, I see more of a case for Bitcoiners supporting a privacy coin such as Monero. Privacy is extremely important as we move forward and while Bitcoin has adopted several priavacy features during its evolution, Monero has priavacy baked in.

I have been reading a writer named Albert Jay Nock. One of his essay's is The Decline of Conversation.

The general idea in it is that you can tell how mature a civilization is by their ability to converse.

He writes

"How can you have any conversation if all you are expected to do is agree?"

then continues with

"It is a mark of maturity to differentiate easily and naturally between personal or social opposition and intellectual opposition."

We are not a mature peoples.

DLC stands for Discreet Log Contacts. A simple explanation of this, as I currently understand, is it's a way for 2+ parties to exchange money based on the outcome of some event.

During the great purge of Soviet Russia, there was a guy named Stanislaw Kosior.

He was an ally of Stalin.

He was not a good guy.

During the purge he was arrested and tortured to confess to being a traitor. To get him to confess they raped his sixteen year old daughter in front of him.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanis%C5%82aw_Kosior

"Kosior was arrested, and stripped of all Party posts, on 3 May 1938. During Khrushchev's "Secret Speech" to the 20th Party Congress in 1956, he disclosed that Kosior's case was handled by Boris Rodos, a particularly notorious torturer employed by the NKVD, who was ordered to force a confession out of him. Under interrogation, Kosior withstood brutal tortures, including being interrogated for 14 hours at a time, but cracked when his sixteen-year-old daughter was brought into the room and raped in front of him." After he had been broken, he was called to Stalin's office, to confront Grigory Petrovsky, the Chairman of the All-Ukrainian Central Executive Committee (de jure head of state) and the co-Chairman of the Central Executive Committee of the Soviet Union, who refused to believe that Kosior was guilty."

That is a good question. I'm not 100% sure about this. But I don't believe this is how DVMs work. A DVM only uses your data when you give it some as an input.

Additionally, NOSTR is a public protocol, so there is little you can do to stop what you post on here getting consumed by these services. Besides not using NOSTR.

I would go talk to the developers of DVMs to get the specifics of how they use data.

Regarding "DVMs",

I'm interested to see how people–who are used to getting pretty much everything on the internet for free–adapt to having to pay for them in this way.


For anyone who is curious about the jargon of NOSTR.

A "DVM" is a "Data Vending Machine". It is defined in NIP-90 (linked at the bottom)

It essentially allows a marketplace for data processing to built on NOSTR. The types of services that can be built could be anything: Search, Generative AI, and more.

Examples of services that are or will be "DVMs":

Okay, this has been weighing on me for quite some time:

I am afraid Ethereum is going to "win". The reason I think this, is because I think ETH is most like our current system, and therefore the easiest to transition too, and it's easier to influence.

At one point I, extremely hyperbolically, thought it would lead to the next great age of human suffering. What can I say, I have a flair for the dramatic.

I am probably wrong about my assessment of what ETH is, but one of the reasons I left it behind is because of above. There is also a social component that is out of scope, but also was a big contribution to why I stopped.

Here is the crazy part: even if you required KYC in an ecash system at every step of the protocol and it would still have amazing privacy.

Mining: Calle mints 1000 sats.

Mint knows Calle minted 1000 sats.

Swapping: Calle sends 500 sats to his friend. Friend swaps them to prevent double-spending.

Mint knows friend swapped 500 sats. Mint does not know that Calle sent 500 sats to friend!

Melting: Friend pays a Lightning invoice for 500 sats.

Mint knows that friend has melted 500 sats.

That's worse privacy than a system without KYC but the transactional ecash pricacy would still remain largely unaffected due to the properties of blind signatures. I'm not saying this is desirable, but remarking an interesting observation. Regulated companies will choose their own policies for operating an ecash system.

When I was in the algo, I hated constantly hearing about how men suck or whatever. Now I know it iss because I know they (people in the algo) are right, not because I disagreed.


I was relating to a co-worker about the struggle of being a software developer and the notion that no one knows (or cares) what it is I do. To many a computer is just a black box that does stuff.

Then I realized this applies to many things. These days, People don't even know what their car does, it's just a horseless carriage that moves along a plane. Not that I know much more, but I do a little.

Contrast that with the people that came before us. They were so much more capable than people now. Heck, even a generation ago. My uncle rebuilt an old 1950s truck. he didn't know what the hell he was doing. He figured it out though.

We're lesser people now, myself included. And it just breaks my heart.

## Chef's notes

The recipe is very flexible, so you can treat the ingredients as guidelines. It is easy to scale as well, depending on your needs.

To save time, you can just buy a rotisserie chicken and shred it yourself. Although preparing your own chicken is hard to beat in my experience. The prep time will vary depending on which chicken you choose: rotisserie vs cooked-at-home. Furthermore, the cooked-at-home chicken doesn't need to be complicated. Just some butterflied chicken breast, salt and pepper on all sides, baked for 25 minutes at 425F.

This dip pairs well with pita chips or bagel chips.

## Details

- ⏲ Prep time: 10 min - 35 min
- 🍳 Cook time: 1 hour
- 🍽 Servings: 6

## Ingredients

- 16 oz of shredded cheddar
- 8oz of cream cheese
- 1/2 cup of ranch dressing
- 1/2 bottle for Frank's RedHot Buffalo Sauce
- 3/4 lbs of shredded chicken

## Directions

1. Combine ingredients in crock pot.
2. Turn heat on high.
3. Stir occasionally.
4. Once it just begins to bubble turn heat to low.

Easy buffalo chicken dip for parties or for yourself.

How to reply to a PoS shitcoiner:

PoS has been around for thousands of years, it's nothing new. Government money is proof of stake, as are company shares.

Egyptians, Romans, and Chinese were using this 2000+ years ago. Italian city states perfected it 800 years ago. Stake based systems are not new.

Using stake to solve the Byzantine General's Problem is also not new. Cypherpunks have been working on this shit since the late 80s.

The cypherpunks on the mailing list (that Satoshi sent the white paper to for peer review) are literally the people who created the *entire body cryptographic of work* used by proof of stake coins today (stake based byzantine fault tolerance).  They are well aware of the fundamental limitations of stake based BFT because they are ones who came up with it in the first place...

If Bitcoin was proof of stake *you would never have heared of it* because it wouldn't have survived 5 minutes of peer review by any real cryptographers.

Time-based difficulty-adjusted PoW *is* the breakthrough and is the *only* reason you and anyone has ever heard of a "blockchain".

The failure modes of stake based BFT are well known, and it fails *every time* for a number of reasons, but if you are betting on a shitcoin to increase in value then the failure mode will probably involve the fact that stakeholders have an incentive to increase the supply to benefit from the cantillion effect.

Mathematical fact: you cannot deploy external capital to defend a system that is secured by internal history (stake). This is why stake based BFT does *not* secure against attack by a state or central bank, which means *anything* secured by PoS MUST comply with governments.

Bitcoin's value proposition is that Bitcoin let's you do things that bankers and governments *don't want you to do*. If bankers and governmensts can nuke your shitcoin, then you do what they say or they nuke it.

What's the value proposition beyond CBDCs if your shitcoin ultimately has to comply with governments and bankers?

You cannot out-stake a bad actor who has aquired sufficient stake to fuck with the system, your only option is to fork them out. Then it becomes a competition between charismatic personalities convincing the market to follow their authority (their fork) instead of the other guy.

So how do you solve the problem of removing a bad actor without requiring some form of authority? Read the Bitcoin white paper. Satoshi knew exactly how stake based systems fail, that's *exactly* why he used proof of work instead.

Bitcoiners are like the Alpha Legion in 40k.

For the unintiated this is a group of space marines who have a leader called a primarch (hard to explain, but a primarch is basically a demigod). This guy's name is Alpharius.

The Alpha legion's specialty is subterfuge. To make sure no one knows who they are, any time you meet a Alpha Legion member and ask who they are they will reply with: "I am Alpharius"

Satoshi Nakamoto is this demigod like figure in the Bitcoiner canon.

No one knows who he is, People claim to be him all the time, etc.

Anyways, what I am bascially trying to say is:

I am Satoshi Nakamoto.


Agreed, just something I noticed.

For the sake of the binary choice given: Collectivization.

Before the internet it was extremely hard to have a niche hobby and find kindred spirits who have the same interests.

Instead you would all watched sports ball, which you may have cared about, but not as much as you cared about painting Warhammer figurines.

Now it's easy to find people who are into Warhammer figurines as much as you. Now you don't really need sports ball to find your people.

The collectives are much smaller (we live in the most atomized time, ever, in history). The bonds you have with your collective are also much stronger, because niching down requires a certain amount of fervor to truly enjoy.

For quite a while I've been thinking it would be good to write about why I stopped being an Etherean, or more broadly a "shitcoiner". This is that story

> ##### Aside
> I choose my words carefully. You'll notice I say `sense` or `sensed`alot. Unfortunately, I am still largely uneducated in the nuances of economics and cryptocurrencies. I can't really explain to you through reason why I came to some of my conclusions. I just had my intuition. I accept that in all probability I am wrong about at least one thing, and at most everything.

## A Brief History

I knew about Bitcoin before I knew about Ethereum. I can't remember the exact date, but I believe it was early. I was a gamer at the time I learned of it. My earliest memory, foggy though it is, is of a gamer friend talking about his plans to build a computer to mine Bitcoin. That's why I think it was early. It had to be if someone could build a computer out of retail parts to actually have a chance of mining a bitcoin. Sadly, I was too obsessed with video games to explore further. I don't even think my friend ever built his miner.

### Fast forward to 2021

My first exposure to Ethereum was in early 2021 through a podcast called [Bankless][bankless-podcast]. They were the first podcast that gave me the resources to start collecting Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. After listening to the podcast for a while, they announced the [Bankless DAO][bankless-dao]. Which I happily joined as a newbie to the new and exciting world of cryptocurrencies – to me, at least. I was there for about two years before I got burnt out and also fed up with a lot of bs that was going on. I also started to make up my mind that Ethereum wasn't what I thought it was. Also Algorand, Doge, and Cardano – lol. Thankfully I managed to not get swept up in the fervor that seems so commonplace these days. I kept learning on my own. I stayed curious and slowly made my way back to Bitcoin.

## Reasons

### 1. Bullshit

In the DAO, early on things seemed great. There was a lot of energy, it was fun and exciting. For the first time in a long time I felt optimistic about the future. It was like a really great party. It felt like we were about to embark upon a revolution or something. However, over time that energy faded and it rapidly became apparent to me that there was going to be no revolution. In fact, I started to sense that Ethereum was essentially the same system as we currently have. Except with extra steps. The people I was around just wanted more of the same. The more I would try to talk to people the more I felt it was all fake.

### 2. Money Should Be Simple.

There is too much complexity in modern life. Money shouldn't be one of them. This is why Bitcoin is great, in my opinion. It does one thing. It's money. That's it. The more I used ETH, the more I began to sense that the more flexible something is, the more complex it becomes. The more complex, the harder it is to maintain. Even one of the lead devs [thought][lead-dev] [so][lead-dev-thread].

One conversation I remember having with a DAO member shortly before I left was about this. We had a back and forth about how Bitcoin is just money, and that's all it does while Ethereum can be anything. To which he replied "Yea, that's good"

### 3. Communists And Democracy.

I say this a bit tougue-in-cheek. I can't claim to be particularly well-versed in what communism actually is. My understanding is elementary at best. Sufficit to say, I am neither a communist nor a democratist. This post isn't really about that and it's not very important so I'll leave it at that.

Back to the main point.

I simply did not fit in. So many of the people I came across had no concept of boundaries. These were the kind of people that think because you're all working for the same group that you're friends, or worse, family. These types are very comfortable giving you unbidden advice. They are also very comfortable with telling you how you should merge your successful project with their not-so-successful project for the betterment of the community.

The other thing was the politics. I am not pro democracy

## Takeaways

My experience was not for nothing. I eventually passed the rubicon and became bitcoin only. I learned a lot of valuble lessons, I developed the confidence to get my first job as a developer. I made some good friends, who I w

I know I spew a lot of bullshit and am probably very cynical for a lot of people (I am, but I'm working on it).

BUT I WILL SAY THIS:

I do believe that things (i.e. the state of the world) will get better eventually.


One of the big reasons I left was because of how full of shit a lot of people were. There were other reasons too. I might write a post about it sometime.


Maybe. I was thinking of releasing one into alternative networks to shill NOSTR. Kind of like the Optimism and Starknet bot.

User: "I like cheese"

MyBot: "Hello, Heard of NOSTR? Come join. There are no airdrops or NFTs"

Or something like that.


I was thinking of an app to try to have a nostr powered dashboard of challengs like 100 push up. I was trying to think of ways a participant could signal they had completed theirs for a given day. One possible idea for me was they could tag a bot and then handle that somehow.


Does anyone know how to make a NOSTR bot? I will use it for good.


Because of all those Californians who left Cali and moved to Texas.


Yes, I would bet money that people do opt to pay. Especially people who are in the cult or want to be. Doing so signals they are good people.


Is it me or is NOSTR a sausage fest?


I used to be part of that world, which is why it shocks me so.


But it will get better at some point.

I changed my mind. Following a lot of people right away was a mistake.

While I still think you should follow a lot of people to have a good experience. Instead you should build your follow list from scratch. "A lot" will be relative. I have had ~750, I feel like I see mostly vacuous bullshit and I miss most of the notes I find interesting or insightful.

Maybe if I had simply been less discerning with my follows early on I would have found a better density for myself before curating.

Did you decide to go through with this?


Before I begin, Bitcoin is the only "cryptocurrency" I collect anymore. I still have some others from my time as an Etherean. I will always keep them, not because I think someday they might be worth something. I keep them and will never sell them for the same reason I have a push mower in my shed.  I like having reminders of the past. Remembering the past is useful. Why the hell did I get a push mower? Why the hell did I buy Algorand? or Ethereum? or Doge? I can't always say with confidence. But I did, and when I need to I can go and look at those things and recall a little bit about where I was at the time of making those decisions.

People are getting really triggered by the word "normie" today.


Maybe I just need to create a list, and the assign-a-weight functionality would not actually be a good user experience.


I really wish I could assign a weight to my follows so I could see the ones I want to see the most first. I know I could trim my follows, but that also isn't what I want. I like all the people I follow, just some put out certain content I would like to give priority.


Once you understand that pretty much everyone in the west is a liberal, even conservatives, it makes it much easier to break out of false diacotomy of thought there. There isn't one, only hegemony.

A vast majority of people in both groups all believe in the same things. They both want the same things, just their time preference is different. Conservatives want to move slow, Progressives want to move fast.

Take immigration, for example, talk to almost any conservative and they have no problem with immigrants, as long has they follow the process and do it legally (slow). Progressives just want open borders (fast).

Hence the adage: Conservatives are Progressives driving the speed limit. (h/t @MichaelMalice)


Saying everyone is normal is categorically false. You could say normal is relative, but then that still means there is no universal "normal".

Anyways, I use the word "normie" as a term of endearment. I love all the normies in my life and it's a tremendous pleasure for me that I get to be service to them whenever they need help in the niches I am in.

It doesn't feel like I have one. I'm also searching for  the healthy balance between not getting wrapped up with tech I don't need and doing something worthwhile with my time.

I like it on here. It's sane and many here are like-minded in a few ways. But it using leaves me feeling empty just like other social media.

Anyways, my thoughts are not very well put together. I can only apologize. I'll probably regret posting. Regardless:

Tomorrow is a new day.

Yes, but I just have so much to say.


You're welcome. Thanks for listening.


At the time I got frustrated by it. But after a while, I was sort of able to understand. I think that most people just want to be safe, that being the case I think it's easy for people to hold onto their perceptions about the world and society.

I think being an Uncle Jim is pretty much the only way to go (h/t @ODELL )


Hopefully it isn't filled with voicemails from Scam Likely, the solar panel salesman


100%.  I once was sharing a summary of an essay about how there is no such thing as objective law and I got shouted out of the room by a family member.
