Again with the help of nostr:npub17nd4yu9anyd3004pumgrtazaacujjxwzj36thtqsxskjy0r5urgqf6950x I updated my profile with io21@getalby.com

He says he had to ask for an invitation code, it's all complicated for me, I haven't figured it out yet, I'm a boomer through and through.

I have to admit though, Nostr is fascinating.
Thank you all for the warm welcome.

You don’t have a #Nostr account. You have a key that signs events, and you publish those events, and then anyone who wants to read those events can do so by retrieving them from anywhere they exist. There’s no one to turn it off, there’s no account to suspend or restrict. There is simply information flowing to and from you and everyone else who uses it. This puts the power of speech back in our hands.

After taking a close look at it, it appears to me that Neil's principled stand is a little rough around the edges...🤔 It seems he's going to continue with all the streaming services regardless of Rogan's ongoing presence. Well, I guess a guy's got to make a living.😜

Meanwhile, it turns out that Rogan's concerns about the vaccine are well supported. People in droves are dropping dead suddenly, dying at all ages and stages of life. Meanwhile, the medical establishment acts totally mystified. Yet, thousands of peer-reviewed research papers are pointing to the vaccine and its content as the culprit.

# "People go through their whole lives without realizing that if, like, one conference center's worth of open source developers all happened to disappear at the same time, humanity would end up gnawing bones in a cave by the end of the year.

#privacytechpro tip: provide anonymity for yourself and others. use tor more often, not just for mission critical "secret" stuff.

the anonymity tor provides comes from blending in with the crowd. i.e. more traffic is better.

use it for everything that supports it and makes sense based on your threat model (probably not your bank, financial institutions, or netflix).

if your email supports tor (like proton etc), start checking your email over tor, read the news over tor. use tor with https sites that don't ban tor, especially use them when they have an official hidden services onion site.

even facebook has a hidden services onion site where they can't see your ip (they can over clearnet) even without a vpn.

note: i do not recommend using fb...ever.

show companies that blacklist tor that tor is for everyday legitimate privacy and anonymity purposes not just for "suspicious activity".

normalize using the tor network.

p.s. malicious exit nodes cannot see your traffic if it is encrypted ex: tls (https sites) or .onion sites. http sites are not encrypted and should be avoided whever possible.

It's amazing to witness this all.


The last two months in #Madeira with the #SovEng cohort, building freedom tech have been absolutely incredible.

It has widely exceeded the (very abstract) expectations nostr:npub1dergggklka99wwrs92yz8wdjs952h2ux2ha2ed598ngwu9w7a6fsh9xzpc and I had when we started working on this.

Plenty of seeds have been planted which make me extremely hopeful for the future.

the upcoming few days will likely include a wild dissemination of these ideas, concepts and emotions.

We’re all building a better, freer future, and I couldn’t possibly be more excited!


What's going on dude! Do I miss something? God bless.

"Stella Assange, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange’s wife, said the “world is watching” her husband’s extradition appeal hearing Tuesday.

“We have two big days ahead. We don’t know what to expect, but you’re here because the world is watching. They have to know they can’t get away with this,” Stella Assange said at a protest outside of the Royal Courts of Justice in London, in a clip highlighted by Mediaite.

“Julian needs his freedom, and we all need the truth,” she continued."
https://thehill.com/policy/international/4478370-assanges-wife-world-watching-extradition-appeal-hearing/


Okay, I understand. Thank you. Assange is 52 by the way. And I don't like conspiracy theories either. Footage from the ecuadorian embassy in London showed he was still strong. It's only the last five years inside Belmarsh prison that weakened him physically and mentally. But you were a damn youth of 19— that's a huge info. I never knew someone could break his rib by excessive coughing.


Omg! So this happens. I understand. May it also happen even to an adult? To a strong 6 feet structure like #Assange? They must have broken him to the bones.

"Don’t be fooled. It doesn’t matter if #Assange is a journalist. The Assange prosecution places journalists squarely in the DOJ’s crosshairs by seeking to criminalize common ways that journalists cultivate and work with sources. But perhaps even worse, it attempts to criminalize journalism itself, by asserting for the first time that a publisher can be criminally punished just for publishing classified information, no matter how it was obtained.

"If Assange is convicted, it will drastically alter the risk assessment journalists and their lawyers undertake before engaging in what was previously routine journalism — especially when their reporting might embarrass or anger government officials. The result will be less reporting on some of the most important issues of our time."

"This time, Assange was finally granted the right to appear in person. Although an empty iron cage sat in the courtroom waiting for Assange, Assange was too sick to show up. He had broken a rib due to excessive coughing.

"The situation is dire. And not just for the life of one man. Assange’s case is the press freedom trial of the twenty-first century.

"If the United States succeeds in prosecuting Assange under the Espionage Act for publishing information about its war crimes, it will be shredding the First Amendment’s press freedom guarantees. But the damage will extend far beyond US borders. Assange is not an American, and WikiLeaks is not based in the United States. The United States is asserting the right to track down any journalist anywhere in the world, seize them, haul them to the United States, and disappear them into a US prison."

A digital realm where creativity thrives, unshackled by corporate overlords. In this alternate universe, a social media protocol emerges—a beacon of freedom, openness, and resilience. It's not just a protocol; it's a movement.

Nostr -a name whispered among the digital pioneers. It's not owned by faceless conglomerates; it belongs to YOU, the dreamers, the rebels, the meme lords.

Here's the twist: You decide how to dance with Nostr. Want to waltz through threaded conversations? Go ahead! Prefer a tango of ephemeral stories? It's your call. Nostr's got a wardrobe of client outfits—each tailored to your taste.

And guess what? Nostr's secret ingredient is #Bitcoin. It sprinkles sound money like stardust, rewarding the creators who spin tales, compose symphonies, and meme their hearts out.

Step into the Nostriverse. Paint your profile in hues of orange and embrace the decentralized groove. 🧡 nostr:note1ld3d3vfrmgz54m3wsh2p8cqykq6kmm3njhdmlm0qnz4srrms7rpqezmdcy

Bitcoin is best understood as a force of nature, like the coming and going of the tide, like the sun rising in the east and setting in the west. You can have an opinion on it, but your opinion doesn't have any influence on the phenomenon whatsoever. The tide will come and go, the sun will rise and set, and Bitcoin will produce a new block. Every 10 minutes.


Crypto does not compare to Bitcoin. If you want to compare Bitcoin to something else, compare it to fire, the number zero, the wheel, the printing press, or electricity. Yes, it is that important. It is an autopoietic network that is internally stable and can't go bankrupt. The antidote to the corruption of money.


say the truth
and set yourself free
but only if you are ready

Freedom means people can fork your stuff and send their merge requests back. You are free to ignore them, but they have the agency to do so. True freedom is hard :)


That's why I boost them.


Remember, existence has no obligation to fulfill your desires; hence, the sentence, THE SPRING COMES… You may be in a different season, and the grass may not grow. Don’t complain that “I was sitting silently and the grass was not growing.” You were out of tune with existence. You have to follow existence. - OSHO

Demand the Immediate Release of Julian Assange. Sign the petition by RFK, Jr.

Here: https://www.kennedy24.com/assange-petition

https://image.nostr.build/6b596d0f301450ea22a2d098d2f701a9c428ef03b481b2b03f471ba82c64baee.jpg

"When whistleblowers like Daniel Elsberg, John Kiriakou, Chelsea Manning, Edward Snowden and Julian Assange revealed government corruption – they weren’t betraying America – they were returning America to its democratic and humanitarian ideals. But instead of championing free speech and celebrating these truth-tellers, today our government actively persecutes journalists and whistleblowers– which is why I’m calling on every citizen to sign our petition calling for the immediate release of Julian Assange.

"This isn’t the Soviet Union. The America I love doesn’t imprison dissidents. Our founders put free speech as the First Amendment because all our other rights depend on it. If you give a government license to silence its critics, it now has license for any atrocity.

"Julian Assange, a newspaper publisher, has spent 13 years behind bars for revealing crimes committed by our government. From torture at Guantanamo Bay to anti-democratic actions taken by the DNC to civilian casualties inflicted by the US military in the War On Terror, time and again, Assange has shed daylight on America’s moral corruption. Since when did revealing crimes become a bigger crime than the crime itself?

"It’s time we stood up for Assange the way he stood up for us.

"On my first day in office, I’ll pardon Julian Assange and investigate the corruption and crimes he exposed. I will also issue an executive order to end all attempts by federal agents and federal agencies to censor the political speech of Americans.

"Attacking the messenger is never good policy. The government’s war against whistleblowers has turned national heroes into criminals, and, it has deterred others who might still come forward. Only if we stand together can we protect whistleblowers, which is why I am encouraging every American – regardless of your political party – to sign our petition to demand the immediate pardon and release of Julian Assange from incarceration."


SURROUND YOURSELF WITH GOOD PEOPLE.

SUPPORT THEM. THEY WILL SUPPORT YOU.

nostr:npub1x2nsd57m43rt663drdxgnzlfsmmu6p5j7z0xzec2tpxwyvy79sts35u4eh member of the European Parliament for the German Pirate Party:

“The detention and prosecution of Assange set an extremely dangerous precedent for all journalists, media actors, and freedom of the press. No journalist should be prosecuted for publishing ‘state secrets’ of public interest because this is their job. The public has a right to know about state crimes committed by those in power, to be able to stop them and bring them to justice. Julian Assange has changed the world we live in for the better, bringing in an era where injustice can no longer be swept under the carpet.”
#FreeAssange


Fox News:
In a letter Monday, 46 members of the European Parliament called on U.K. Home Secretary James Cleverly to "ensure the protection and safety of Julian Assange".

Assange, 52, is facing 17 charges for allegedly receiving, possessing and communicating classified information to the public under the Espionage Act, and one charge alleging a conspiracy to commit computer intrusion.

The charges were brought by the Trump administration's Justice Department over WikiLeaks' 2010 publication of cables leaked by U.S. Army intelligence analyst Chelsea Manning detailing war crimes committed by the U.S. government in Iraq, Afghanistan and the Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, detention camp.
The materials also exposed instances of the CIA engaging in torture and rendition.

WE MUST BUILD THE FUTURE THAT WE WANT. THIS INCLUDES ALL OF YOU, BUILDING IN YOUR OWN SPECIAL WAY.


Bro, I was born and raised in Silicon Valley. It used to be an innovative place oh like 40 years or so, but then got corrupted and over hyped by fake people and fake money.

Every10 years a hoard of people come here and think being a cog at big tech is glorious and then their dreams are shattered because its not what its all chalked up to be.

Every 10 years or so a hoard of people then move out of the bay area when the market crashes and layoffs en masse. Those who do make something?  They buy a million dollar house, tear it down then spend 3 years remodeling it, move in for 3 years, then go bankrupt cuz and then move out within a decade. Irrational exuberance and hubris doesn't last.

My 2 Sats : Ignore the status quo that keeps shitting on you, your crazy ideas and your dreams.  Put these "top of trend followers"  on Mute.

That's what I do. It keeps me sane.

Build your own business or project, and grind at it like there's no tomorrow. This is where its at, and where its always been.

And then You will Win.

STAY HUMBLE AND STACK SATS


Same. Silicon Valley was my dream. So glad it never worked out. What I'm doing now is 100x more meaningful.


It sounds ridiculous to me now, but back in the day my dream job was to work for Apple. To me, this is where the world's top design talent worked and where I wanted to end up.

Fast forward to today, I want nothing to do with Apple on a professional level. If the day came where I was offered to work there, I would decline. Working to promote bitcoin and free speech IS my dream job now. I am fortunate to have found something I am 100% dedicated to and can happily say I will spend the rest of my life on.

Also, I passed up jobs at Uber, Amazon and some other unicorn startups. Had I taken any of them, I probably would not have ended up here. Could not have been happier with those decisions! Things worked themselves out.


Lovely kids! 🤗🤍

Introducing nsec.app and nostr-login!

I've shown the prototype of https://nsec.app in December, and it's essentially an nsecbunker in your browser. It is non-custodial - your keys are stored locally in the browser, and apps can get access to your keys using NIP46. We've now turned that prototype into a real thing, and I invite you to try it. Shoutout to nostr:npub149p5act9a5qm9p47elp8w8h3wpwn2d7s2xecw2ygnrxqp4wgsklq9g722q for the designs!

Now how do we help Nostr apps adopt NIP46 for remote key access?

That's where nostr-login library comes in. If your app uses NIP07 to talk to a browser extension, then with just two lines of code you can make it talk over NIP46.

Both of these tools support the new OAuth-like flow proposed by Pablo. Below you can watch a demo of how nostr-login (added to my fork of Snort) works with Nsec.app (or would work with any other nsecbunker).

What this all means is that people could join Nostr on the web, without installing extensions or mobile apps, with their keys stored non-custodially in the Nsec.app, and then could log in to other Nostr apps without copying their private keys.

Keep in mind that the new format is not designed to replace your **nsec**, but to work side-by-side with it. Keep your nsec in the safest place you can and use the **ncryptsec** to move your key between devices, deleting it as soon as you are done with the transfer.

New Additions:
- Adds support for NIP49 to login and back up key screens
- Adds cryptographic support for NIP-49 to Quartz
- Enables citation on chats via @
- Adds "₿itcoin" to the set of custom hashtags

Nope, I can't. 😢


Lemme check if I can mention Vitor.


Now my Android suggests me to clear cache. I checked. It 1.67 GB. I cleared.


Can't even mention vitor here.


Whenever I mention a name with @ sign, #Amethyst crashes.


the super-app is probably Spring, the nostr-browser, you can access any nostr app and also verify signatures before signing, like using an extension sign up method where the client holds no keys


GOOD MORNING NOSTR, WE ARE GOING TO BUILD A FREEDOM SUPER APP ON TOP OF NOSTR AND BILLIONS WILL USE IT BECAUSE IT WILL SIMPLY WORK BETTER THAN THE SLAVE TECH ALTERNATIVES 🫡

## Flash News (with no rated uncensored notes)

### Flash News publishing process.
1. Create a plain flash news or link the news to one of your articles/curations.
2. Add media files or links (preferable with known extensions).
3. Include the source of the news to convey that your news is authentic.
4. Add relevant tags to categorize the flash news.
5. Flag the flash news as important or not (additional payment required).
6. Pay the overall amount for publishing the flash news.

![image](https://yakihonne.s3.ap-east-1.amazonaws.com/20986fb83e775d96d188ca5c9df10ce6d613e0eb7e5768a0f0b12b37cdac21b3/files/1706690283381-YAKIHONNES3.png)

### Flash News workflow
1. Payments for the flash news publishing go directly to the funds pool used for the uncensored notes contributions ![image](https://yakihonne.s3.ap-east-1.amazonaws.com/20986fb83e775d96d188ca5c9df10ce6d613e0eb7e5768a0f0b12b37cdac21b3/files/1706690344861-YAKIHONNES3.png)
2. Chronologically ordered flash news based on date and time, with the ability to select a specific date
3. Users can toggle between existing flash news only or view all dates at once, including dates with no flash news
4. Users can toggle only important flash news  to keep track of what is highlighted
5. Users can view their notes on the “My Flash News” tab and delete their flash news if desired
6. Users are not allowed to alter flash news to prevent news manipulation
7. Users can zap, bookmark, upvote/downvote the flash flash based on their point of view
8. Users can view the original source of the flash news if it is added by the author
![image](https://yakihonne.s3.ap-east-1.amazonaws.com/20986fb83e775d96d188ca5c9df10ce6d613e0eb7e5768a0f0b12b37cdac21b3/files/1706690539838-YAKIHONNES3.png)

## Flash News (with rated uncensored notes)
1. Each flash news may have a verified and rated uncensored note that assesses the flash news as misleading and provides false information.

![image](https://yakihonne.s3.ap-east-1.amazonaws.com/20986fb83e775d96d188ca5c9df10ce6d613e0eb7e5768a0f0b12b37cdac21b3/files/1706690692472-YAKIHONNES3.png)

2. Community reviews determine whether both the flash news and the uncensored note are sealed, based on their perceived helpfulness (whether misleading or not) or lack of helpfulness altogether.
3. If the rated helpful uncensored note contradicts the original flash news, labeling it as misleading, it will be attached to the related flash news. Users can then view all notes (sealed helpful or deemed unhelpful) contributed by the community.
4. Similar to flash news, the uncensored note associated with it may include a valid source that contradicts the original flash news source.
5. A flash news might feature a rated helpful uncensored note asserting the flash news is accurate and authentic. This note is not visible within the flash news page but can be accessed by viewing the flash news itself.

![image](https://yakihonne.s3.ap-east-1.amazonaws.com/20986fb83e775d96d188ca5c9df10ce6d613e0eb7e5768a0f0b12b37cdac21b3/files/1706690877656-YAKIHONNES3.png)

# What is Uncensored Notes ?
Introducing Uncensored Notes, a revolutionary feature where the power of community collaboration meets real-world news verification. In an age of rapid information dissemination, YakiHonne uncensored notes was inspired from the Twitter “Community Notes” to empower users to actively participate in verifying the authenticity of published news all while using the Nostr Protocol. Here, users play a vital role as contributors by adding notes to existing flash news, offering valuable insights, context, or additional evidence that either supports or questions the veracity of the information and getting rewarded for that.

Our commitment to transparency and accuracy sets us apart. By harnessing the collective wisdom of our community, we create a dynamic environment inspired from the Twitter “Community Notes” where users contribute to the ongoing validation of the flash news. This collaborative effort not only enhances the credibility of news but also fosters a sense of shared responsibility and benefits in ensuring the dissemination of accurate information.

# Uncensored notes workflows
1. Uncensored notes contributors receive funds mainly from the flash news publishers.
![image](https://yakihonne.s3.ap-east-1.amazonaws.com/20986fb83e775d96d188ca5c9df10ce6d613e0eb7e5768a0f0b12b37cdac21b3/files/1706692005198-YAKIHONNES3.png)
2. Each user has an associated writing impact and rating impact, which are updated based on their activities related to the uncensored notes.

![image](https://yakihonne.s3.ap-east-1.amazonaws.com/20986fb83e775d96d188ca5c9df10ce6d613e0eb7e5768a0f0b12b37cdac21b3/files/1706692061290-YAKIHONNES3.png)

3. Simply put, flash news publishers support the uncensored notes contributors to prove their news are correct and beneficial or not.

![image](https://yakihonne.s3.ap-east-1.amazonaws.com/20986fb83e775d96d188ca5c9df10ce6d613e0eb7e5768a0f0b12b37cdac21b3/files/1706692152239-YAKIHONNES3.png)

4. The published flash news goes straight to the new tab within the uncensored notes page for contributor to view and validate.

![image](https://yakihonne.s3.ap-east-1.amazonaws.com/20986fb83e775d96d188ca5c9df10ce6d613e0eb7e5768a0f0b12b37cdac21b3/files/1706692179661-YAKIHONNES3.png)

![image](https://yakihonne.s3.ap-east-1.amazonaws.com/20986fb83e775d96d188ca5c9df10ce6d613e0eb7e5768a0f0b12b37cdac21b3/files/1706692231174-YAKIHONNES3.png)

5. The validation is achieved based on 2 factors: uncensored notes and ratings:
- Contributors have the ability to write a single uncensored note to a published flash news with the ability to flag the flash news as misleading or not
![image](https://yakihonne.s3.ap-east-1.amazonaws.com/20986fb83e775d96d188ca5c9df10ce6d613e0eb7e5768a0f0b12b37cdac21b3/files/1706692415232-YAKIHONNES3.png)

- The uncensored notes will then be rated based on raters judgement whether they think this uncensored notes is helpful or not (whether it says the flash news is misleading or not)
![image](https://yakihonne.s3.ap-east-1.amazonaws.com/20986fb83e775d96d188ca5c9df10ce6d613e0eb7e5768a0f0b12b37cdac21b3/files/1706692471387-YAKIHONNES3.png)

6. Based on the initial raters threshold, the flash news and its associated uncensored notes will jump from the new tab to the need your help tab where raters can view all uncensored notes that need rating and close from reaching the final status (helpful or not)

![image](https://yakihonne.s3.ap-east-1.amazonaws.com/20986fb83e775d96d188ca5c9df10ce6d613e0eb7e5768a0f0b12b37cdac21b3/files/1706692584332-YAKIHONNES3.png)

7. Based on the overall raters that agrees whether the associated uncensored note is helpful or not, the final status of the uncensored note and the flash news it belongs to will be determined:
- If the uncensored note final status is helpful and says that the flash news is misleading, it will consider the flash news sealed and show the associated uncensored note within the flash news page and the uncensored notes “Rated helpful” tab. However, If it says the flash news is not misleading then it won’t show up and the flash news is considered sealed, while it stays viewable within the “Rated helpful” tab.

![image](https://yakihonne.s3.ap-east-1.amazonaws.com/20986fb83e775d96d188ca5c9df10ce6d613e0eb7e5768a0f0b12b37cdac21b3/files/1706692703380-YAKIHONNES3.png)

![image](https://yakihonne.s3.ap-east-1.amazonaws.com/20986fb83e775d96d188ca5c9df10ce6d613e0eb7e5768a0f0b12b37cdac21b3/files/1706692766501-YAKIHONNES3.png)

- If the uncensored note final status is not helpful, then the flash news will not be considered sealed and will wait for the next uncensored note to catch the final status.

![image](https://yakihonne.s3.ap-east-1.amazonaws.com/20986fb83e775d96d188ca5c9df10ce6d613e0eb7e5768a0f0b12b37cdac21b3/files/1706692883300-YAKIHONNES3.png)

- At the current time, only a single uncensored note is considered a final status of a flash news meaning the first uncensored note reaches the final status it will be considered the sealing trigger. Later on, uncensored notes can be overtaken or overturn.

8. All uncensored notes writers and raters (until the flash news does not have a sealed uncensored note) will be incentivized by a portion of SATs sent automatically to the my rewards tab whenever a user writes an uncensored note or a user rates one the only different is that the raters needs to wait 5m countdown to claim their SATs while the writers can directly claim their initial SATs rewards.

![image](https://yakihonne.s3.ap-east-1.amazonaws.com/20986fb83e775d96d188ca5c9df10ce6d613e0eb7e5768a0f0b12b37cdac21b3/files/1706693029611-YAKIHONNES3.png)

![image](https://yakihonne.s3.ap-east-1.amazonaws.com/20986fb83e775d96d188ca5c9df10ce6d613e0eb7e5768a0f0b12b37cdac21b3/files/1706693274618-YAKIHONNES3.png)

9. When a flash news reaches the final status by having a sealed uncensored note, both the author of the uncensored notes and its raters which their rate matches the final status of the uncensored note (Helpful or Not Helpful) will be rewarded by a predetermined portion of SATs.

![image](https://yakihonne.s3.ap-east-1.amazonaws.com/20986fb83e775d96d188ca5c9df10ce6d613e0eb7e5768a0f0b12b37cdac21b3/files/1706693350667-YAKIHONNES3.png)

10. Upon the sealing of the uncensored note all related entities whether the raters or the author of the uncensored notes will receive an update for their impact attributes:

**a. If the uncensored note is sealed as a helpful note:**

- The writing impact of the uncensored note author will increase.
- The rating impact of the uncensored note raters that have a rating matches the final status of the note will increase.
- The rating impact of the uncensored note raters that have a rating contradict the final status of the note will decrease.

**b. If the uncensored note is sealed as a not helpful note:**

- The writing impact of the uncensored note author will decrease.
- The rating impact of the uncensored note raters that have a rating matches the final status of the note will increase.
- The rating impact of the uncensored note raters that have a rating contradicts the final status of the note will twice decrease (supporting low-quality notes).

![image](https://yakihonne.s3.ap-east-1.amazonaws.com/20986fb83e775d96d188ca5c9df10ce6d613e0eb7e5768a0f0b12b37cdac21b3/files/1706693916766-YAKIHONNES3.png)

![image](https://yakihonne.s3.ap-east-1.amazonaws.com/20986fb83e775d96d188ca5c9df10ce6d613e0eb7e5768a0f0b12b37cdac21b3/files/1706693920940-YAKIHONNES3.png)

11. Raters will have a countdown of 5 minutes to change their judgement on an uncensored note after the countdown is finished it is not possible to edit the rate.

![image](https://yakihonne.s3.ap-east-1.amazonaws.com/20986fb83e775d96d188ca5c9df10ce6d613e0eb7e5768a0f0b12b37cdac21b3/files/1706693978724-YAKIHONNES3.png)

12. At the current time, users can write only a single uncensored note to each flash news, with no ability to rate their written notes. Later on, changes may be applied for restricting the maximum number of uncensored notes that can be written in a day based on both writing and rating impacts.
13. Writing and Rating impacts are viewable from the user profile page, where others can determine the credibility of each user.

![image](https://yakihonne.s3.ap-east-1.amazonaws.com/20986fb83e775d96d188ca5c9df10ce6d613e0eb7e5768a0f0b12b37cdac21b3/files/1706694041802-YAKIHONNES3.png)

14. Users will not be able to delete the uncensored notes they wrote, and if deleted from elsewhere the associated flash news will be considered ignored.

Join us in redefining how news is verified to uphold the standards of truth and authenticity in the ever-evolving landscape of global information. All while guaranteeing the decentralization of global information via the nostr protocol.


In any case I would like to know if you have any other example because I've been paying attention to all these NIPs (even though I'm not personally interested in some so sometimes I may not look very carefully) and I've been trying to not allow breaking changes to be merged, so I want to know where I have failed.

FORTUNATELY WE HAVE A LOT OF GREAT PEOPLE IN THE SPACE 🧡


Improving repudiation (deniability) in SimpleX protocols

Please send any questions/comments!

We believe that repudiation (aka deniability) is very important for communications. See this discussion with Session CTO about it, for example:
https://twitter.com/JefferysKee/status/1754336020857029013
https://twitter.com/SimpleXChat/status/1754455524068720762
https://twitter.com/JefferysKee/status/1754762787119919587
https://twitter.com/SimpleXChat/status/1754840209936543977

Currently only a part of SimpleX protocol stack provides it – client-to-client e2e encryption, that includes double ratchet (aka Signal) algorithm in one of the layers.

Client-relay protocol, on another hand, does not provide it, and as relays are chosen by the recipients, a modified relay can provide non-repudiation for sent messages, which is undesirable in the context of private communications.

We believe there should be a possibility for digital off-the-record conversations, in the same way as it is possible for in-person meetings - while recipient can keep the memory and even transcript, it should not be a strong proof to a third party.

This proposal adds repudiation to client-relay protocol by replacing cryptographic signature with authenticator (see this WIP document for the details: https://github.com/simplex-chat/simplexmq/blob/ep/cmd-auth/rfcs/2024-02-03-deniability.md).

It is already mostly implemented and will be fully rolled out by v5.7.

A more detailed post about repudiation importance and its acceptance in society and legal systems is coming.


Without the ingenuity of developers, we would not be here, yet they are the least likely people to explain what they do.


All journalists are fully biased, because all humans are fully biased.

This idea you should read journalism & suspend your critical thinking because they are somehow unbiased super humans is hilarious.

I prefer journalists who are partisan and overtly biased because that's more honest. We at least know where they "pretend" to stand.

There was some debate over whether Craig Wright would show up at all today. He did.

#COPAvWright

https://image.nostr.build/a52e9523a4100af45552337ca3f4eb8840c42597194803c0f76b37646fa3ab53.jpg#m=image%2Fjpeg&dim=1920x1440&blurhash=%23GHo8%234UxI9FW9ayV%5E-%3Bxu0KRP%3FH9Ej%3BM%7Bxu%25Mxu%7Ep%25LodIUoeIUxuofxbXSIUNGt7WVt7WAWCs%3A9aozbItRbcozRkt6RPt7o%23NGf%2CfjRkt7RjoLoLaeWCt6ofaefRWBj%5B&x=7b5b839a92681387c30743d964f2e717f2b287be69b798f37c799174da490507


For context re: Craig Wright and Calvin Ayre and why there should be no mercy.

My life changed completely on March 29th, 2019. Almost five years ago now.

I had made several tweets, warning people about Craig Wright, and making my opinion about him clear. A matter of very public interest.

I was sent a legal letter on twitter DM, where it was made clear that I either had to apologize and acknowledge Craig as Satoshi, or they would file a libel case against me in UK.

When I didn't comply, Craig and Calvin put a public $5000 bounty on my identity and then firmly doxxed me after finding out who I was.

They proceeded to put private intelligence surveillance on me, that have tried to gain access to my social circle, both online and physically. Presence in 100s of groups. Monitoring my house. Producing regular, detailed reports on all my activity. Travelled where I travelled and so on. And god knows what else. This is still going on today.

I have been continuosly smeared and lied about on social media and in Coingeek, the publication owned by Calvin.

Threatened directly/personally with bankruptcy and worse by Calvin and his followers on twitter, with my real name, on countless occasions.

Anonymous phone calls with indirect threats.

My dad was fighting against cancer when this all started. I was dealing with constant legal pressure and threats throughout his fight. When he finally died late 2020, the legal pressure was at a peak and my funding situation was uncertain.

I've had to give up tons of private communication in discovery, to prove I had not been behind "an organized and vicious campaign against Craig."

I've had to turn down professional opportunities, since a good percentage of my bandwidth has been continuously occupied with defending myself legally. The amount of legal letters, hearings, appeals, judgments etc are beyond belief.

I've lived since 2019, with the constant knowledge that my house and belongings are on the line, and Craig's stated goal of bankrupting his enemies would be reality if I lost.

All the while I've tried to, and largely managed, to shield my child and family as well as possible, but I know all of this has put stress on them as well.

No mercy for these people.
Only Welcome to Law.

Crypto, on the other hand, is fiat on steroids. Worse, it is fiat on methamphetamines. It is the belief that honest money doesn't matter, which is why every project, every person, every exchange, every network, every system, every community, and every jpg needs its own separate form of money. It's economic nihilism.

Thank you, nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m. Whenever I get connected to you this way or that way, I don't know why and how but I feel a deep, submerged connection with you which uplifts me to a greater energy-field. 🧡🙏💜

After reading your tweet (and Snowden's) I joined Nostr during Christmas 2022.

After you shared Darko Velcek's wordpress site, I researched him with a lot of time and then I began following his SHP protocol. I lose 5 kilo of extra eight. I feel much better. I feel blessed. 🌿🌺🌿


Wow! Mother nature bless you.

Do you take sea sal water as Darko protocol suggests?


Someone tell me what Purple is, please!

I use.


Why don't they do this then?!


hehe, sure. Have you run a server? I did.

The protocol requests that servers MUST NOT do many things but that doesn't mean they CAN'T do them. If servers WANT to track, they CAN track. It's on you to TRUST the servers.  The fact that SimpleX servers don't have your profile information doesn't mean they don't know who you are.

For instance, the protocol requests servers to not log client commands and transport connections and to NOT use a persistent DB in the production environment. That is just a request. There is nothing blocking server operators from doing so.

Queue IDs are generated by the server. The protocol requests a strong pseudo number generation. But who knows if they are actually using one for your account. They can just generate sequential numbers to more easily identify you out there and you won't even notice.

The default servers from SimpleX do not use Tor and do not create a new TCP/IP connection for each new Queue/contact, which is against they own procotol recommendations. Their terms describe that they don't associate IP with Queue IDs now, but it's clearly possible. With IPs, you can get rough locations with enough precision to try to identify you with the rest of the data set they have.

And I am not saying anything new or hidden somewhere. SimpleX is very upfront about the need to trust the server you are using.

Don't get me wrong. SimpleX is better than many other platforms for privacy and security, but it still assumes a trusted model with their servers.


I agree, they are not the same. SimpleX is more private than Signal and Matrix for sure. But the protocol still grants a lot of info to the server.

While Nostr relays also have a lot of info from users, especially if you mix private and public events, a fully private client can make it so that the relay doesn't even know if the computer connecting to them is a user or a proxy. The relay doesn't know if a DM is new or not because date/times are all random. In fact, many GiftWrapped DMs transfers are different encryptions of the same message (or any other private Nostr event), all from random accounts, being broadcasted by bots to generate noise. It fact, that same private client can just transfer directly in P2P if the two phones are online and relays won't even know about it (which is my main use right now)


Another curiosity, nostr:npub1gcxzte5zlkncx26j68ez60fzkvtkm9e0vrwdcvsjakxf9mu9qewqlfnj5z. Is the info Signal servers receive not encrypted? They say they store no metadata in their server. Is not that true in reality. Why is then Signal so much celebrated in the infosec community?

I'll be very obliged if you take your precious time to enlighten us.

Thank you.


Is there a fully private #nostr client, nostr:npub1gcxzte5zlkncx26j68ez60fzkvtkm9e0vrwdcvsjakxf9mu9qewqlfnj5z, as you talked about?


Yes. It has to be like those of Signal. It has to be super customizable too.


Are you a dev bored of single app CI, simplicity, and order?

Do you crave chaos, and novel challenges caused by inconsistent implementations on an open protocol in nostr?

Dreading the fiat mines, and looking for “..a task bigger than any human.” (h/t nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6 )?

Look no further! You are looking to become nostr’s first CI engineer, and go where no man has stepped foot before.

NostrCI is looking for a CI dev or nostr bridge and road engineer to take on a world first challenge.

ALWAYS GOOD TO SEE NOSTR ACCOUNTS BECOMING ACTIVE AGAIN AFTER MONTHS OF INACTIVITY.

NOSTR WILL BECOME THE STANDARD. GRADUALLY THEN SUDDENLY. 🫡


Microsoft Teams is down. Nostr doesn't go down.


Just a quick reminder. If you're using the Internet, you are leaking your IP address to any server or network administrator. Nostr is no different. Assholes exist everywhere. Any asshole can leak your IP. If this concerns you, use a VPN.

Hey nostr:npub1gcxzte5zlkncx26j68ez60fzkvtkm9e0vrwdcvsjakxf9mu9qewqlfnj5z can we get a new application option to help combat potentially leaking IP addresses via image loading? Maybe add a following only option here? So that we can always load images from people we're following. Thanks.

Thanks for reading this far and happy #creatr to all 🫂🙏


This is my #Creatr profile:
https://creatr.nostr.wine/subscribe/npub17nd4yu9anyd3004pumgrtazaacujjxwzj36thtqsxskjy0r5urgqf6950x

My joining #Creatr is not to become an artist for a select few, but to have support to become an artist for many.

Including behind-the-scenes content in the making of my paintings is time-consuming in the making of the painting itself and takes some of the joy out of the moment of pictorial execution.

Placing a camera, editing a video, taking photos during or after, is not a painterly thing. No artist of the past would ever do that.

Can you see Monet or Van Gogh carrying tripods with camera in addition to easel, canvas and paints, placing the frame and then starting to paint?

But alas, we are in the time of sharing every aspect of our lives, and many are rightly curious and interested about how I make paintings, so I have joined #Creatr.

To see my exclusive content, just subscribe in the link above, for a period of 1 to 3 months and then you can see it directly in your clients, like Amethyst, Damus or on the web with snort.social or coracle.social.

I hope in time to have enough subscribers that it is worth creating content behind the scenes, otherwise I simply won't make any more and patience if I sell fewer paintings.

Making art is a joy; I don't want it to become a bore.


By the way, today marks one year since we launched Wavlake. There are now 500 artists with nearly 5k tracks uploaded. Here’s to another year!


I love that man.

Is that chomsky?


Just another reason to opt out even faster.

Over Thanksgiving the banks were close for like 4 days plus it was payday weekend. So all my bills came through but my check would not clear. The bank charged me 4 seperate over draft fees 😤 even though they had my check in their system. That was the nail for me. At that point I decided to do everything I could to not only put my money into bitcoin but to also exit from the traditional system completely.
I'm paying debt down faster I'm nit taking on any new debt and I'm finding ways to pay for my life with btc instead of fiat. It's a process but it's my fucking money and I should have every right to use it however and whenever I like.


Imagine all services worked like banking. Imagine going to the grocery store to beg them for an increase your meat allowance. Or having to justify yourself as to why you want to buy a bottle of tequila.


I had to drive to the bank yesterday, in -35 C weather, to plead them to increase my maximum e-transfer allowance per day & week, because I wasn’t able to do it online or over the phone for “security” reasons.

Once I arrived at the branch, despite my efforts, they only agreed to a limited increase, citing "my safety" as the reason. They adviced to write cheques for amounts that exceed the limit.

Ironically, I'm paying them to use "my" money, which they leverage tenfold, and they still dictate my transaction limits. They’ll also freeze my funds if I ever protest about something the Canadian government doesn’t like.

On a brighter note, the reason for this request was to increase my ability to acquire more sats through e-transfer.

My Bitcoin journey would have looked a lot differently if it wasn’t for Nostr. I understood some of the fundamental ideas and bought/sold at times of hype several years ago, but my tie to Bitcoin died down after that. I joined Nostr not because of Bitcoin Twitter and I never actively used Twitter, but because of the appeal of censorship resistance and decentralization. After joining, I’ve been surrounded by amazing people who happen to be Bitcoiners and I’ve learned so much from them. Admittedly I still don’t understand enough. I still don’t know how to read a Mempool.space page, what certain sat/vB numbers really mean, and I haven’t found the time yet to start using a cold wallet, but I’m here to learn. I’m thankful to the community here that I’ve been fortunate enough to connect with, and I’m excited to see what’s next in this journey.

Bitcoin is not perfect for every possible money use case. The same way the discovery of electricity didn't fit every use case of energy.

You don't use electricity to push water, you can use electricity to push a propeller

Bitcoin is at least a million times better than any other form of private property system we ever had.

It will enable many propellers.
