I’ve been reading “Memoirs of Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds” by
Charles Mackay. See if any of these sound familiar. This is from 1700s… South Seas Bubble and Mississippi Bubble.

The French account is insane. A worthy read. https://i.nostr.build/FcYu4gsm83axo4Ga.png https://i.nostr.build/B8iFpU5NA256K2KN.png https://i.nostr.build/r1RSzyHi5y54Epiz.png https://i.nostr.build/7U6BtBsRHYNAS6k3.png


Debt, with the help of compound interest, is the only asset class that grows without any regard to entropy. All assets depreciate, and require external energy as inputs to reverse entropy. Not debt. Debt grows infinitely with mathematical precision over time. With the help of state violence, it is the perfect scam to enslave populations.

Fredrick Soddy talked about this in his books on thermoeconomics back 100 years ago. He predicted everything would be swallowed up by debt as it has been today.

This isn't true.

https://laantungir.github.io/img_repo/412209809bf6066fdad6cc3527af1e43fa5ccf4fce92cf990881f29b1ee4fbfe.jpeg

Why? Because AI's are software, and software can't hold private keys.

Think about it. Imagine you are a software program, and you want to hold bitcoin. What are you going to do with your private key, such that the person who is running the computer you are on can't get it?

You could encrypt your private key, but then what are you going to do with the key to that encryption? Encrypting the key leads you down an infinite regress that gets you nowhere, because ultimately you have to have at least one final key that isn't encrypted.

There is a deep principle involved here, and that is: to utilize encryption YOU MUST BE ABLE TO PHYSICALLY SECURE YOUR PRIVATE KEY.

You have to place your key somewhere where no other entity can physically access it, either because it is hidden, or because it is physically impossible to access.

To have and hold #bitcoin or a #nostr account, you have to be a computer or even better a robot/human. You can't simply be software.

So in the article, the AI's don't hold the crypto. Whomever holds the computer that the AI's are running on, holds the crypto.

Cryptographic keys are philosophically very deep. There is a lot there to explore, in terms of identity, and what it means to be human.


Huge milestone: First demo of Nostr Web Services (NWS) bringing TCP to Nostr. With NWS, you can host any existing web application on Nostr without having to use DNS or even announce your public IP to the world, simply by sharing your service's npub (or nprofile).

Try it out the demo yourself. Here is a Cashu test mint running with NWS. Let's use curl to retrieve the mint's information. The request travels from your computer to the public NWS entry relay, then through nostr to the service's NWS exit relay. At the other end is a Cashu mint with HTTPS encryption.

```
curl -s -x socks5h://relay.8333.space:8882 https://nprofile1qqs8a8nk09fhrxylcd42haz8ev4cprhnk5egntvs0whafvaaxpk8plgpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuwpnxvejuumsv93k2g6k9kr/v1/info --insecure | jq
```

https://m.primal.net/JTMl.png

I can't stress this enough: THE MINT RUNS BEHIND HTTPS!

The NWS entry relay can't read your traffic. It's encrypted. We can host public entry relays that can be used by anyone.

This means we can plug the entire internet to it 🌐.

Let's plug it into Cashu for now. Nutshell wallet supports socks5 proxies (that's how it uses Tor). By setting the public entry relay as the proxy, the wallet can now connect to a mint's npub/nprofile and communicate with it via NWS.

https://m.primal.net/JTot.png

This is going to be so freaking cool. And it's going to be a lot more useful than just for Cashu. There are still bugs and issues that need to be ironed out but the code is coming out soon. Watch this space.

If you want to come and kick the tires on Nostr Nests 2.0, you can join https://nests.pages.dev and give it a whirl. You'll need a NIP-07 extension for your web browser or have an account registered over at nsec.app to login. Otherwise, you can listen in as a guest. It's very close to being complete, however some features aren't enabled while it's in a developmental state or are still being built out. For example:

NIP-53 Live Activities are not broadcasted while in development.
NIP-52 Calendar Events are not broadcasted while in development.
Stream audio is not implemented.
Follow from menu is not implemented.
Follow/Unfollow from profile may nuke your contacts. DO NOT USE.
Zapping text chat is not implemented.
Muting users in text chat is not implemented.
Viewing profile from menu kicks you out of the nest.
Viewing lobby kicks you out of the nest.
And some other minor issues or bugs.

If you find something that's not listed here that doesn't work or is clearly a UI or feature bug, please comment below and myself, nostr:npub1r0rs5q2gk0e3dk3nlc7gnu378ec6cnlenqp8a3cjhyzu6f8k5sgs4sq9ac or nostr:npub1v0lxxxxutpvrelsksy8cdhgfux9l6a42hsj2qzquu2zk7vc9qnkszrqj49 will take a look when time permits.

WARNING: This is a development server which as limited server resources and bugs do exist. Things could break, crashes could occur, and server resources could become exhausted. Enjoy. Thank you!

# A Declaration of Separation

## To The Governments & People of Earth:

We claim the right to exist, and we will defend it. We do not seek to overthrow anything. We do not seek to control anything. We/merely wish to be left alone.

All we ever wanted was to live in peace with our friends and neighbors. For a long, long time we bore insults to our liberty; we took blows, we did what we could to avoid injury and we worked through the system to get the offenses to stop. That has now changed.

We no longer see any benefit in working through the world?s systems. At some point, working within a system becomes cowardly and immoral; for us, that point has arrived.

Regardless of the parties in power, their governments have continued to restrict, restrain and punish us. We hereby reject them all. We hereby withdraw from them all. We hold the ruling states of this world and all that appertains to them to be self-serving and opposed to humanity. We now withdraw our obedience and reclaim the right to strike back when struck. We will not initiate force, but we do reserve the right to answer it. We did not choose this ? it was forced upon us.

## To The Governments of Earth:

You are building cages for all that is human. In the name of protection, you have intruded into all areas of human life, far exceeding the reach of any Caesar. You claim ultimate control of our property and our decisions, of our travels and even our identities. You claim ownership of humanity far beyond the dreams of any Emperor of any previous era.

Understand clearly: We reject your authority and we reject your legitimacy. We do not believe that you have any right to do the things you do. You have massive power, but no right to impose it upon us and no legitimacy. We have forsaken you. We are no longer your citizens or your subjects. Your systems are inherently anti-human, even if all their operators are not. We are not merely angry young people. We are fathers and mothers; aunts, uncles and grandparents; we are business owners and trusted employees; we are mechanics and engineers and farmers. We are nurses and accountants and students and executives.

We are on every continent.

This is not a burst of outrage; this is a sober declaration that we no longer accept unearned suffering as our role in life.

For long decades we sat quietly, hoping that things would turn around. We took no actions; we suffered along with everyone else. But after having our limits pushed back again and again, we have given up on your systems. If our fellow inhabitants of this planet wish to accept your rule, they are free to do so.

We will not try to stop them. We, however, will no longer accept your constraints upon us.

From now on, when you hurt us, we will bite back. If you leave us alone we will leave you alone and you can continue to rule your subjects. We are happy to live quietly. But if you come after us, there will be consequences. You caused this because of your fetish for control and power. The chief men and women among you are pathologically driven to control everyone and everything that moves upon this planet. You have made yourselves the judge of every human activity. No god-king of the ancient world ever had the power that your systems do.

You have created a world where only the neutered are safe and where only outlaws are free.

## To The People of Earth:

We seek nothing from you. We do not want to rule you and we do not want to control you.

All we wish is to live on earth in peace. As always, we will be helpful neighbors and generous acquaintances. We will remain honest business partners and trustworthy employees. We will continue to be loving parents and respectful children.

We will not, however, be sacrificial animals. We reject the idea that others have a right to our lives and our property. We will not demand anything from you, and we will no longer acquiesce to any demands upon us. We have left that game. We reject all obligations to any person or organization beyond honesty, fair dealing and a respect for human life.

We will shortly explain what we believe, but we are not demanding that you agree with us. All we ask is that you do not try to stop us. Continue to play the game if you wish; we will not try to disrupt it. We have merely walked away from it.

We wish you peace.

## To Those Who Will Condemn Us:

We will ignore you.

We welcome and seek the verdict of a just God, before whom we are willing to expose our innermost thoughts. Are you similarly willing? We would stand openly before all mankind if it were not suicidal. Perhaps some day we will have to accept slaughter for our crime of independence, but not yet.

Your criticism and your malice are much deeper than mere disagreements of strategy or philosophy. You do not oppose our philosophy, you oppose our existence. Our presence in the world means that your precious ideals are false. Some of you would rather kill us than face the loss of your ideologies, just as those like you have either hated or killed every sufficiently independent human.

You present yourselves to the world as compassionate, tolerant and enlightened, but we know that your smooth words are costumes. Oh yes, we know you, servant of the state; don't forget, we were raised with you. We played with you in the schoolyard, we sat next to you in the classroom. Some of us studied at the same elite universities. We watched as you had your first tastes of power. We were the boys and girls standing next to you. Some of us were your first victims. We are not fooled by your carefully crafted public image.

## What We Believe

1: Many humans resent the responsibilities that are implied by consciousness. We accept those responsibilities and we embrace consciousness. Rather than letting things happen to us (avoiding consciousness), we accept consciousness and choose to act in our own interest. We do not seek the refuge of blaming others, neither do we take refuge in crowds. We are willing to act on our personal judgment, and we are willing to accept the consequences thereof.

2: We believe in negative rights for all: That all humans should be free to do whatever they wish, as long as they do not intrude upon others; that no man has a right to the life, liberty or property of another; that we oppose aggression, fraud and coercion.

3: We do not believe that our way of life, or any other, will make life perfect or trouble-free. We expect crime and disagreements and ugliness, and we are prepared to deal with them. We do not seek a strongman to step in and solve problems for us. We agree to see to them ourselves.

4: We believe in free and unhindered commerce. So long as exchanges are voluntary and honest, no other party has a right to intervene before, during or after.

5: We believe that all individuals should keep their agreements.

6: We believe that honestly obtained property is fully legitimate and absolute.

7: We believe that some humans are evil and that they must be faced and dealt with. We accept the fact that this is a difficult area of life.

8: We believe that humans can self-organize effectively. We expect them to cooperate. We reject impositions of hierarchy and organization.

9: We believe that all humans are to be held as equals in all matters regarding justice.

10: We believe that the more a man or woman cares about right and wrong, the more of a threat he or she is perceived to be by governments.

11: We believe that there are only two true classes of human beings: Those who wish to exercise power upon others either directly or through intermediaries and those who have no such desires.

12: Large organizations and centralization are inherently anti-human. They must rely upon rules rather than principles, treating humans within the organization as obedient tools.

## Our Plans:

(We are building our own society. We will supplement traditional tools with networking, cryptography, sound money, digital currency and anonymous messaging. Our society will not be centrally controlled. It will rely solely
on voluntary arrangements.

We welcome others to join us. We are looking for people who are independent creators of value, people who act more than talk, and people who do the right thing because it is the right thing.

We will develop our own methods of dealing with injustice, built on the principles of negative rights, restitution, integrity and equal justice. We do not forbid anyone from having one foot in each realm - ours and the old realm - although we demand that they do no damage to our realm. We are fully opposed to any use of our realm to facilitate crime in the old realm, such as the hiding of criminal proceeds.

We expect to be loudly condemned, libeled and slandered by the authorities of the old regime. We expect them to defend their power and their image of legitimacy with all means available to them. We expect that many gullible and servile people will believe these lies, at least at first. We will consider traps laid for us to be criminal offenses. Any who wish to join us are encouraged to distribute this declaration, to act in furtherance of our new society, to voluntarily excel in virtues and to communicate and cooperate with other members of the new society.

Free, unashamed men cannot be ruled.

# We are The Free and The Unashamed.

ANNOUNCEMENT:  New Relay Software called Chorus

"Here ye, here ye, the herald hath proclaimed that a wizened old mage from the beige tower to the South hath bestoweth upon our land yet another relay implementation of potential great import and with great anticipation. And the people rose up in song and in praise of this new relay software. And the people called it "Chorus" for it had inspired them to sing." - 1st Abominations 13:37

Chorus is a new nostr relay software implementation, brought to you by the same guy that brought you the Gossip client.

  Interviewer: Why did you write chorus?
  Me: I don't know.

  Interviewer: Why should somebody run chorus as opposed to another relay implementation?
  Me: I don't know.

  Interviewer: Have you even thoroughly tested this relay yet before announcing it?
  Me: Um....

  Interviewer: Do you even use it yourself?
  Me: Not as such. Well, not yet. I think I should test it first.

There you have it folks! Pay no attention to the fine print below.

* Details are at https://github.com/mikedilger/chorus
* Chorus is MIT licensed
* Chorus is architected to be high performance, but I don't know if it is.
* Chorus is not setup to charge users.
* Chorus can work as your personal relay. I don't know whether you should have a personal relay.
* Chorus is new, and like all new software it probably has significant issues.
* Chorus supports all the critical relay NIPs.

Klaus Wuestefeld is most famous for Prevayler (2003), the earliest implementation of event sourcing that I came across.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WKKlcErWtng

His ideas around p2p sovereign computing where intellectually dishonest though. Everyone wants sovereign computing, that's a no-brainer, but scalable decentralization is a hard problem that nostr too hasn't solved yet (the scalable part).

It's like coming up with "world peace" as a great idea. No shit. We all want world peace. But it's the how that's kind of hard. I'm doer, the self-proclaimed visionaries out there can take their "great ideas" and stick them somewhere.


Back in 2005, while cypherpunks were grinding their way into Bitcoin, I was deep into an idea we called "Sovereign Computing": a set of freedoms that would re-create the web with the user, and not corporations, at the center of it. It was initially proposed by Klaus Wuestefeld, one of the senior engineers who shaped most of my early career. The apps we made are mostly gone (turns out CVS wasn't the future of version control), but most of those freedoms still hold quite well.

http://sneer.me/resources/imgs/traditionalNetwork.jpg

At the time, everything was deeply tied to ISPs, DNS, and several middle-layer providers that limited your expressiveness on the web by charging for everything. IRC was coming to the end of its downfall. We were slowly becoming slaves of big tech.

Klaus wrote a manifesto that lured people into developing several little projects that could decentralize everything. Many of them were P2P mesh networks where users could talk to each other directly (without servers) and even re-share their own internet connection with their trusted peers. It was a big f*** you to people that thought they could control us.

Free Software users or not, they were no more than subjects conforming to the arbitrary laws dictated by a handful of Internet `authorities`. People got fed up with that monkey business. They decided they would be free to share information and hardware resources with their friends at their own pleasure.

This is how the manifesto went:

Freedom 1 - Own Name

It is the freedom to choose any name for oneself. The format of the chosen name is not limited in any way, even in the case of homonyms, and there is the possibility to change the chosen name at will.

Freedom 2 - Nicknames

It is the freedom to choose any name to refer to others. This freedom is not limited to persons, but applies to anything accessible in the virtual world. This freedom is based on the notion that absolute addressing schemes imply in the abdication of one's freedom in favor of some central authority. According to this, the alternative would be relative addressing schemes centered on each person.

Freedom 3 - Trust

It is the freedom to trust anyone one wishes. It is the possibility to assign a degree of trustworthiness to any person, possibly depending on the subject (for example, one's opinion on music could be highly trusted, but not on cars or economy). Also, the degree of someone's trustworthiness would depend on the relative distance to other persons (for example, one would trust more one's friend than one's friend's friend).

Freedom 4 - Privacy

This freedom has two aspects: the freedom to see only what one wants, and the freedom to keep information inaccessible to untrusted people. One application of the first aspect would be avoiding spam by only accepting messages from people above a certain degree of trustworthiness.

Freedom 5 - Expression

It is the freedom to express oneself. It is not only the freedom to expose one's thoughts but also the freedom to make syntheses of information provided by other people.

Freedom 6 - Hardware

This is the freedom to share hardware resources. This is based on the assumption that most hardware resources are underused, especially among domestic users. By federating the resources of a large number of people, it would be possible to decrease the dependency on internet providers and internet hosts.

Freedom 7 - Software

It is the freedom to share all software one uses. It is based on free software that is spread through trust networks across the globe. There is no need for a single, centralized distribution point.

It's bizarre to see how many of those early thoughts can be seen now in Nostr.  Maybe one day we will fully free ourselves from the web's overlords.

#nostrdesign I need some help again. I'm trying to overhaul the whole relay system in noStrudel to add better support for inbox / outbox relays and relay sets.
I'm running into a few UX issues that I don't know how to fix and I need some ideas.

My goal is to make the users inbox / outbox relays completely separate from the apps relays and call them "Mailboxes"
So going forward the app will store its current relays in local storage instead of nip-65. this will allow the user to change relays on the fly while keeping the inbox / outbox relays the same.

The part I'm stuck on is I cant figure out what the UX should be around managing the users "mailboxes"
I want to separate the concept of setting up your "mailboxes" from configuring the app relays so they have to be on a different view then the apps relay config.

A few ideas I'm looking for:
 - Whats the best way to visually distinguish a users Inbox relay from a users Outbox relay beside using an icon?
 - What (if any) relay recommendations should I show on the "mailboxes" view when the user is setting or changing their mailboxes
 - How should it show a warning if one of the users current inbox or outbox relays is offline / rejecting events?

Stay tuned!


CTV and Cold Channels.

Today in Bitcoin, to make a channel, you must first receive Bitcoin on-chain and then transfer it to a channel with your partner interactively. This is a minimum of two transactions just to open a channel and the channel opening cannot be batched.

With CTV, channels can be hidden inside your pubKey so that when you're paid and the transaction is committed on-chain (can even be batched using only one UTXO), that on-chain commitment is sufficient to use your channel. No need to dump the channel details on-chain.

Mobile Verification Toolkit (MVT) is a collection of utilities to simplify and automate the process of gathering forensic traces helpful to identify a potential compromise of Android and iOS devices.

In addition to pegasus it also detects:

- NSO Group's Pegasus (more info from Amnesty Tech).
- Predator from Intellexa (formerly Cytrox) (more info from Citizen Lab)
- KingsPawn from QuaDreams (more info from Citizen Lab)
- Operation Triangulation from an unknown source (more information from Kaspersky)

📢 nsecBunker 0.10.0 is out!

Codename: nostr, an oauth-like protocol

This is a significant release that provides the ability to run OAuth-like bunkers which will allow registration in your bunker to new accounts.

It also integrates with LNBits + Nostrdress to provide the ability for new nostr users to be able to immediately receive zaps 🤯

✅ LNBits
✅ Nostdress for zap receives 👀 (thanks nostr:npub1nxa4tywfz9nqp7z9zp7nr7d4nchhclsf58lcqt5y782rmf2hefjquaa6q8)
✅ NIP-89 announcement on each nsecbunker boot
* Tons of bugfixes

Next up will be connecting the new user's wallet to automatically negotiate Nostr Wallet Connect; clients will be immediately able to *send* zaps. No fidgeting with copying around connection strings or scanning QR codes, client and nsecbunker negotiate in the background.

Under the hood, this is using the flow described here https://github.com/kind-0/nsecbunkerd/blob/master/OAUTH-LIKE-FLOW.md

Made a simple page to display the snort relay scraper data.
https://relays.snort.social/

New users signing up on snort/iris will get added to 5 close free relays, hopefully this helps to distribute users better.

One issue with this is of course GeoIP inaccuracy, maybe in the future relays could publish their locations as nostr events and then relay discovery is possible on nostr itself. In the same way that lightning network nodes discover channels and nodes via "gossip" messages, relays could share metadata about the network. Maybe somebody could write a NIP for this...

VM Burner Phones: Complete Guide

Did you know that you can create a virtual machine of a degoogled android on your desktop Linux PC, to create infinite fast burner phones to isolate spyware apps?

WhatsApp, Telegram, CashApp, Hushed Bitcoin SMS, Facebook,
These apps all worked for me on a VM of LineageOS.

Research by Amnesty International and the Intercept have presented significant evidence that apps such as “WhatsApp” by Meta are vulnerable to “0-click” Pegasus malware that can completely take control and do surveillance your phone without you ever even clicking a link.  This presents the dangers of trusting many apps that do not take the same security precautions as privacy-focused apps from F-Droid.

However, telling readers of our website to “never install WhatsApp because of corrupt government malware” is usually a non-starter.  So instead, we suggest putting known vulnerable spyware in a virtual machine.

Any Linux distro will do.
You have 2 main choices for virtual machine, Oracle Virtbox and QEMU KVM.
And for the phone OS, you want to do LineageOS.

For VMs, we recommend Lineage, and NOT Graphene and NOT Calyx.
Lineage is better suited for VMs because it’s got an x86 build, while as GrapheneOS has ARM builds that won’t work in a VM without a rebuild from source.  CalyxOS won’t work in a traditional VM, but you could potentially use an Android Studio Developer Kit to recreate it in a test environment.  We do NOT recommend doing this with Calyx as you likely will face technical hurdles with the Android Dev Studio configuration settings, while not getting any clear benefit over just using Lineage.  Remember, the reason people want Calyx over Lineage for physical phones is to lock the bootloader.  This isn’t relevant for a VM.

Virtual Machines

Let’s compare and contrast the 2 VM choices:

Choice 1) Oracle Virtbox
Pro: Oracle is more convenient and easy to setup.   Also it’s easier to have a VPN outside the VM, to prevent IP leaks and manipulate your identity.  While as VirtManager QEMU is forcing you to put it on the router, which is not convenient for the average user.
/
Con: Oracle’s Virtbox is open source for the VM itself, but the copy-paste functionality in the extension pack is not open source.  Even with that “FOSS sacrifice”, I personally had copy-paste issues setting it up.  Also Oracle is a shady company.  They got their company’s name from selling database services to the CIA, and they are heavily involved with the US government’s mass surveillance program.  Previous CEO and current chairman Larry Ellison criticized Edward Snowden saying essentially “nobody was being wrongfully hurt by the surveillance”.

Choice 2) VirtManager QEMU KVM
Pro: KVM is more private being more fully free and open source.  Also this option is more secure.  Technically malware will have a harder time escaping KVM (a level 1 hypervisor), but you’re very unlikely to face VM breakout with malware originally designed for phone baseband modems.
/
Con: Harder to setup.  Even harder to get copy-paste functionality.  And you won’t be able to put a VPN on your desktop, you’ll need an open source router to manage your identity.

Managing Identities

In my personal opinion, VPNs INSIDE the VM phone itself are bullshit and too high risk because these apps all jockey for higher level privileges.  I want the VPN OUTSIDE the VM.  But I’m sure that the internet has enough people who will disagree to curse me out.

Let’s talk about snapshots real quickly.  So while snapshots are convenient, they are NOT good for getting a new identity.  If you don’t believe me, try taking a snapshot, installing Hushed and registering an account, and then rewind the clock by restoring from the snapshot.  When you reinstall Hushed, you’ll find that it recognizes and remembers you.

Instead, the best way to get a new identity, is through the VM’s storage file.  When you first setup Lineage, then save a copy of the file itself (with the same name or it messes up setup) and put it in a different folder.  Then when you want a new identity, delete the original file and setup the VM to point to the new location.  If you want both identities at the same time, for Oracle you need to modify where the entry your VM manager points to.  For KVM, I found it more intuitive to spin up new VMs with different datasets without snapshots.

In summary, if you use Oracle without copy-paste extension pack, you can probably get this up and running in a single day.
Linux → VPN → Oracle Virtbox → Lineage

#nostrdesign I'm looking for some ideas. noStrudels side nav bar is getting too crowded and I want to add more stuff to it.
I would also like to move some of the things in the "tools" section into the sidebar, but I realize most users wouldn't want to use them all the time.
I'm looking for any creative or cool ideas to let the user customize the navigation. but still be able to access all the things with only a few clicks

Pro/Con of “Privacy” Phone Numbers/Services

JMP.chat
Type: Number
Pro: No KYC VoIP to XMPP (or Matrix) for anonymous Bitcoin, so you're using an open source client
Con: Only US and Canada numbers.  They're just reselling Twillio VoIP, which means that not only are you just paying more just for anonymity, but many services recognize these as Twillio VoIP numbers and will block you.
Solutions: There exists the possibility of buying a real world physical SIM and then transferring over service to JMP VoIP.  But you’re better off using 1 time burner services for most account registry.

Hushed
Type: Number
Pro: No KYC VoIP for Bitcoin, similar to JMP.chat
Con: Uses their proprietary client which isn’t private through the Google Play store.  I’d avoid Hushed.

Silent Link
Type: Number + Service
Pro: No KYC Crypto SIM card that separates billing and identity from the literal cell tower carrier
Con: Uses eSIM which requires Graphene’s Google Push service sandboxed.  No outgoing calls.

Calyx Institute Hotspots
Type: Service
Pro: No KYC WiFi hotspot for Crypto
Con: It’s just reselling T-mobile service, so if you use this in your home and your home is KYC, then T-mobile will likely figure out that it’s you since celltowers see geolocation.
Solutions: You can avoid this by putting the hotspot in a faraday bag, and only using it outside your home.

MySudo
Type: Number
Pro: Multiple burner VoIP lines
Con: Requires Google Play store JUST to PAY for it, but then can be used on a degoogled phone once you add credit.
Solutions: This can be sandboxed or put on a separate old device and you can use bitrefill to buy the credits with cryptocurrency

SMS.usmobilenumbers.com
Type: Number
Pro: Quick easy cheap burner anonymous SMS verification for cryptocurrency.  It’s real SIMs and not VoIP.
Con: US only.  They resell the number for OTHER services, which MAY trigger anti-fraud for SOME services including Zelle, eBay, PayPal, LinkedIn, and others.  So you risk a ban on accounts.
Solutions: Avoid putting money in any account for a few days to see.  Use a residential proxy IP instead of a datacenter VPN, especially for eBay.

VirtualSim.net
Type: Number
Pro: Great for abusing foreign numbers in poor countries such as Cambodia or Ukraine for Signal or Telegram.  Quick easy cheap burner anonymous SMS verification and/or longer term monthly numbers for cryptocurrency.  It’s real SIMs and not VoIP.  Their customer support is excellent and we highly recommend them for Telegram verifications.
Con: They may loose access to the burner number after a period of time (like a year) where you can’t renew and someone else COULD potentially verify the number.

Crypton.sh
Type: Number
Pro: Huge amount of countries for real SMS anonymous crypto.  Get sought after Western European #s here that normally have strict KYC rules on physical SIMs
Con: Overpriced setup fee for 1 time SMS verification, but if you actually live in (or desire) that country it’s okay.  There’s no real purpose in all their “at rest encryption” advertising, because SMS is unencrypted transport.

Running Ghost Addresses...

I will keep using my pay@derekross.me address, but this is an extremely viable solution. Every home node runner that has wanted to setup LN addresses should look into doing this, if they're not comfortable with the technical hurdles of running your own LN address infrastructure.


LEAK: The Foundation Secret Master Plan 👀

We believe technology is progressing in the wrong direction. Rather than offering freedom, technology is used to surveil and control.

It’s time to help usher in a new era of freedom and prosperity with freedom tech.

https://i.nostr.build/Pyad.png

🧵👇

There was a time when Apple shipped the schematics alongside the computer, a time when they encouraged us to “think different.”

There was a time when Google lived by the guiding principle of “don’t be evil.”

No longer.

https://i.nostr.build/8Daz.png
https://i.nostr.build/l9o7.png

Cryptocurrency companies like Ledger are collecting your data, Google wants to know everything about you, and your TV monitors what you watch and sells it all to the highest bidder.

Even our cars are black boxes that spy on us and give ultimate control to the manufacturer.
Technological progress in the physical world has slowed. An overwhelming majority of hardware and manufacturing innovations are closed source and proprietary.

Open source software propelled us to the Internet, to Bitcoin – but open source hardware is a rarity.
At Foundation we believe that technology can be used as a tool to empower the individual with freedom, with sovereignty, with privacy.

We believe that building superior open source hardware and software is the key to unlocking an era of prosperity and permissionless innovation.

https://i.nostr.build/o7nk.png

As in Asimov’s Foundation trilogy, we’ve asked ourselves – what can we do to help navigate this period of chaos and usher in a new era of freedom and prosperity?

https://i.nostr.build/ByaA.png

This brought us to our beginning. To Bitcoin.

It all started with Bitcoin. It is our strong belief that a transition to Bitcoin as the global monetary standard will re-align society and fix our most important problems.

https://i.nostr.build/Qyaq.png

In short, we believe that “Bitcoin fixes this!” So this is where we’ve chosen to begin our journey.
Foundation believes that Bitcoin itself is at a crossroads.

On one side are ETFs, exchanges, custodians, intense and crushing regulations. On the other is custody, decentralization, permissionless innovation, financial privacy, and even an end to central banking as we know it.

This is why our first product was Passport, the best-in-class Bitcoin hardware wallet.

The most fundamental aspect of Bitcoin is to hold your own keys, to control your own money and your own destiny. Passport makes that possible for more people than ever before.

https://i.nostr.build/65Xv.png

But Bitcoin needs more than “just” approachable self-custody tools, so during the 2024-2028 epoch, Foundation will build a cohesive ecosystem of Bitcoin devices, tied together by our Envoy mobile app.

https://i.nostr.build/WjWL.png

But we aren’t stopping at Bitcoin.

As the world achieves global Bitcoin adoption during the 2028-2032 epoch, Foundation will broaden our approach and focus on expanding our freedom tech ecosystem to more platforms.
Smartphones and computers running a next-gen, ultra-secure, privacy-preserving operating system.

Self-hosted smart home products with integrated AI.

Maybe even a car 🚗
Our master plan is straight-forward:

1. 2020-2024: Build a hardware wallet and mobile app.
2. 2024-2028: Use that money to build an ecosystem of Bitcoin devices.
3. 2028-2032: Use that money to build a freedom-tech computing ecosystem.
While doing all of the above, release everything as fully open source, vertically integrate manufacturing, and – most importantly – continue to hold true to our principles.
P.S. - Don’t tell anyone.

If you see the need for approachable self-custody and freedom tech, follow us nostr:npub1s0vtkgej33n7ec4d7ycxmwt78up8hpfa30d0yfksrshq7t82mchqynpq6j for more content like this and to be the first to know as we roll out our next wave of Bitcoin devices 😎


I’ve been working on an onboarding experience that allows new users to leverage an nsecBunker to onboard into nostr and immediately have:

* Keys interoperable with clients
* Sign-in to new clients by typing your nostr address and clicking “authorize this client”, exactly like “login with Twitter”
* Receive zaps to an LN Wallet (with any LNBits provider)
* Send zaps (through behind-the-scenes Nostr Wallet Connect negotiation)

No plugins. No extensions. No “you don’t have zaps, download this other app”

It just works.

This means new users can onboard DIRECTLY into having send+receive zaps without having to do anything.

One year ago today, I started NostrPlebs.com. I'm not going to go into all of the details as I've talked about this numerous times over the last year and most of you all know this story as well as I do. Therefore, I will keep this very short.

1) I would never have been able to do accomplish my goals without the help of nostr:npub12262qa4uhw7u8gdwlgmntqtv7aye8vdcmvszkqwgs0zchel6mz7s6cgrkj who wrote the registration and management application side of things about a week after I launched. Thank you Semi.

2) A very special thank you to nostr:npub1rq9x6sk86e8ccw2cm8gsm4dyz9l24t823elespupaxjnzdk026fsca2r93 <3 She was the very first person to offer to pay me in sats for setting her up with a Nostr address. She inspired me to do more than just offer a Nostr address to a few close friends.

3) NostrPlebs.com would not be the success that it is, without the support of all of our customers and friends over the past year. Thank you for all of your support that helped us grow. We registered nearly 6,000 Nostr addresses over the past year. I still can't believe that.

One year down, a lifetime of impact to come for https://NostrPlebs.com. This anniversary is just the beginning!

ojo. parece que la greenwallet tiene un bug escaneando un qr para la direccion destino. xq despues no puedo editar el monto. solucion: copiar/pegar la direccion destino en modo texto


So many lightning companies are getting rekt right now by compliance, I know first hand.

I think rug risk is up a LOT right now.

If you just keep a balance in a custodial wallet, for zapping, keep it to an absolute minimum and be ready to truly lose it.

If you have more than you want to lose, but not enough to justify on chain fees, consider swapping them for L-BTC on boltz.exchange

What is Pegasus?

Pegasus is targeted cellphone malware by the NSO Group sold to governments.
It's regularly used against human rights activists.

How can you stop Pegasus?

Well, you can't stop it per say (except step 6 below). But you can reduce risk with SOME of the steps below:

1) GrapheneOS reduces buffer overflows with a hardened memory malloc

2) Always use a VPN for the DNS.  Avoid trusting ISP DNS

3) Don't activate SMS from cell towers and use VoIP only via WiFi

4) Avoid a SIM card, then use an external WiFi FOSS router that you own such as:

In your home: DD-WRT, Open-WRT, (w/) OPNSense or pfSense
Tiny on the go: Rasberry Pi with OpenWRT, or GL.inet,

You can put a USB modem on GLinet then you'd have portable WiFi access, but with physical isolation from the internet source.   Then you only flow encrypted VPN traffic through the router.

If you're too lazy to do this, then an external ISP-provided hotspot over in-phone SIM.

5) Pegasus can work off being sent a link.  When your friends send you random website links on mobile, then look at it without JavaScript.  Privacy Browser & Tor mobile both have a good toggle switches.  (or look at it on PC)

6) You could consider a tiny PC w/ WiFi such as LattePanda or Rasberry Pi INSTEAD of a phone because these have no internal cell tower baseband modem.  The default Pi distro can do Signal, or for example:
lattepanda.com/lattepanda-sigma

Some will think this is extreme, but you can only do SOME of the choices depending on your situation

I feel sorry for those who post: "Bitcoin is going to CRASH!"

They haven't yet discovered that Bitcoin is hard money, and that a crash in the price of #Bitcoin can only happen if fiat currency, which is backed by nothing, is your unit of account.

https://m.primal.net/HUBf.png

They fail to realize that Bitcoin's 5,583,371,195% return against the dollar since 2009, represents the dollar crashing in value.

If Bitcoin's price temporarily comes down against the dollar in 2024, what's happening is that the dollar's ongoing crash against Bitcoin is taking a temporary respite.


Neither network fees, nor bigger blocks solve the spam problem.

On Bitcoin, fees are making it cost prohibitive to spend small UTXOs. But at least you can still run a full node.

Craig Wrong's BSV network features a dynamic block size function to keep fees low. But the storage requirement to run a full node is currently increasing by an average of 600MB every ten minutes.

The only way to prevent spam clogging a network is to prevent the network from accepting spam at all.

Can we build a Nostr-native onion routing for private events using DVMs?

Each onion hop is a GiftWrap using an Ephemeral event kind encrypted to the next onion DVM. The client assembles all hops and sends the private message to the first DVM via the user's main relay. That DVM decrypts the ephemeral event and sends it to the next DVM. The last DVM will send it to the user.

This minimizes the user's IP leakage to the set of trusted relays that user likes while sustaining the relay decentralization properties of NIP-65.

User's would never connect directly to the read relays of other users because they might not be trusted.

Since the relay knows your Nostr filters, it does know which pubkeys you are interested in (including your own key). Decoupling sending an event to a pubkey and filtering events for your pubkey in the same connection/IP is key to reducing the power that the relay has over you.

This would be akin to using several Tor sessions, a new session for every new message you send, while giving the Client the power to choose different "exit" nodes (DVMs) at each new message.

Am I crazy or is this actually better?


you just need a "longer" screen

It pains me to say it after 3 years of building on it but I think lightning is ngmi, at least for non custodial pleb payments.

I think ark and liquid are fundamentally a more sound approach to L2 for end users.

If it REQUIRES the end user to run infrastructure, even if that is just a phone, it's going to be too janky to actually scale.

Not to mention that somehow lightning is already more ossified than L1...

If we continue down the custodian route people will get rugged or KYC d

I am ready for your hate, but this is my current take. Also would be happy to be proven wrong.

Now back to sshing into my node and working on chantools to recover a force closed channel utxo that lnd didn't report.

Nostr Phising 101:
How to Avoid Getting Your Bitcoin Stolen

Nostr’s privacy flaw is that anyone can see the metadata in real time of who is messaging who.  Ameythst client currently lets you literally login as them, just the DM itself is jibberish.  When you combine this with the fact that most Nostr users have Bitcoin and are constantly downloading or trying out new clients, this makes Nostr the ultimate place for phishing scams.  Even if Bitcoin is not gotten directly, simply tricking someone into entering their private key into a scam client can be used to make them pay Bitcoin to not wreck their account.

In this post, I will give you some example scams I came up with, so you can immediately recognize real ones in the wild.

Scam #1) Target Developer accounts
Hacker watches the incoming messages of a developer account.  For example if I were doing this, I’d target Lume, since his code has bugs and people are likely writing him to complain about it.  Then when the incoming message comes in, I’d write from a different account claiming to be the dev on the desktop, not mobile, and link them to a scam download link with the bug fix.

Scam #2)  Fake SimpleX.
Many people on Nostr list their SimpleX URL in the profile.  Whenever this person sends an OUTGOING message, I’d fake being the recipient and immediately message them on SimpleX saying to talk here it’s safer.

Scam #3) Snowden’s DMs
Edward Snowden is among the most popular Nostr influencers.  I’d watch Snowden’s incoming DMs.  Literally anyone that contacts him, I’d immediately message from a different account saying that I’m trying to avoid surveillance with this burner account and let’s talk on SimpleX.  Then after a lot of back and forth, I’d tell them about a new privacy client to download.

</end>
Spread the word to prevent this kinda stuff before they are real.


Ugh, nostr UX is still in shambles.

To create a prism you have to know what a listr is. To create a listr you have to know what kinds mean. To ask the creator you have to search for their name, which you cannot find in search depending on the client you use.

We need like a 2 week summit to just sit down and talk this shit out or something and everyone test everything. Use it fully and make note of what's confusing.

I can't be the only idiot who can't figure this out.


If you haven't watched Cypherpunks Write Code. Highly recommend it.

Today, the S&P 500 experienced an extreme event.

During the #FOMC press conference, the #SPX briefly exceeded the Bollinger Bands' +3 standard deviation on the daily timeframe. This event rarely occurs, and only occurs during extreme market optimism.

The #VIX did not confirm the higher move-up as it created a higher low over yesterday's trading session while the #SPX created a higher high. The last time this type of divergence occurred was 6 years ago in November 2017, about two months before a significant #volspike (VIX went to 50).

The current S&P 500 environment remains consistent with the end of a business cycle when the Fed stops tightening and the market believes a soft landing has been accomplished because the ensuing recession has not yet started. More often than not the #SPX reaches new ATHs during this period.

So far in December, the VIX futures term structure remains in deep contango and the yield curve remains deeply inverted, both of which further confirm that we're at the end of a business cycle.

An economic #recession is likely to begin in the U.S. by the end of 2024. It will likely be stagflationary with inflation remaining high even as demand continues to cool.

A new strategy people seem to be using to self custody Bitcoin. Chain foot print is low and also good privacy.

I just explained to my wife why empty blocks happen.

She was not as fascinated as I am.
