 As in a small token of my appreciation? 
 why don't clients use the Bitcoin logo for zaps instead of the ⚡ lightning? 
 The sats symbol debate was interesting. I liked the döner kebab. More recognizable at 16 pixel. I think that's where symbols beat logos.
 
 How many have had their nsec leaked or hacked?
I don't understand why it's necessary to invalidate a key, I've never used a pgp sub-key.
I feel this does this not concern me and I don't feel like I'm missing the need for another network. 
 From The Simplest Bitcoin Book by @SimplestBitcoinBook 
A mnemonic on #Bitcoin mechanics - level39's Satoshi #numbers (369 Clock)

- Bitcoin is designed to mine 6 blocks per hour (one block on average every ~10 mins)

24 hrs  .. 2+4=6
144 blocks/day .. 1+4+4=9
52560 blocks/year .. 5+2+5+6+0=18 .. 1+8=9
52704 blocks per leap year .. 5+2+7+0+4=18 .. 1+8=9
21 Million coins .. 2+1+0+0+0+0+0+0=3
33 Halvings .. 3+3=6
Difficulty adjusts every 2016 blocks .. 2+0+1+6=9
Block reward halving every 210000th block (~ four years) .. 2+1+0+0+0+0=3

 These are automated? If so they should recruit a few humans to send those at 3~5 sats/vB. Or there's sth I'm missing? 
 If humans manage to digitize themselves and live on a network in which their essence has no singl... 
 Would digitized humans still need to interface with the physical world? I feel that would be a single point of failure.
If not then maybe so but I can't imagine how a perpetual network would sustain itself organically.
Would that not mirror nature with humans as some kind of mycelium? 
 In my house I believe: 
You are brainwashed by Marxism.
Policing is not ideal.
Capitalism is necessary even in communist states with capitalist characteristics.
Colonialism was partly a response to military campaigns.
The founding fathers were largely righteous in their aims.
I hope American values endure and I am not an American.
Seeking peace is the better solution.
Land is nearly always the reason for war and subjugation.
Your logic is broken and your curriculum.

 My conclusion, messaging. 'Hey look there are others who really, really dislike him too. The irrational mental gymnastics that leads you to keep thinking that geriatric man and clown woman are okay is justified.'

 hit back intelligently with "They started it" 
 People can certainly object through nonrecognition (mileage may vary.) It will be pushed through as you describe, so that it cannot be connected to the eventual pitch for a  'new deal' or whatever phrasing the incumbent far-left gov decide to go with.

From my token first hand observations of how those who have grown up and done okay being on the winning side of the outsourced manufacturing boom *are doing, a successfull life (having a home in a city) is no longer as fun as it used to be twenty years ago. I guess that's not just an issue with 'capitalist decadance, borgoise hedonism' or what ever are the ills or western values. More than that, I personally feel that the need for the US to realign itself with the core values of the constitution, amendments and bill of rights is the last hope for humanity. I'm no expert and the US has it's own problems, but I also know socialism is far from paradise.

Great piece of writing.

 "Mobilization in the EU of those who care about privacy is a key."

I'm sure your right that it is key but many not in the EU (perhaps many more than in the EU) care. If the idea is to filter all communication and content, I'm guessing that messages and content originating from outside of the EU would be the within the scope? So far, I've onlt seen European Pirateparty and resources aimed at direct EU consultation. Would widening the engagement to help voice opinions be a reasonable idea? 
 Give me some feedback about amber and citrine, the good and the bad. 
 I've only toyed with citrine, but it seemed a bad idea if you have limited data, love to have it on a powerful phone with wireless internet. 
 I don't know. Personally, I believe you can look on this in two ways. 

A self-proclaimed free-speech absolutist being a free-speech absolutist, and this is wrong, because it leads people to act on volition. The zeitgeist of the algo. The other way is that we start sentences with "According to a new report from the Center for Countering Digital Hate.." or "In the UK, far-right thugs.." but not a grain of contextualization from the light of those that would object to far-left that are now redefining words to encompass meaning that extends to suit the sensitivities and whims of tyrants. Basically, Musk and The Guardian are the perfect counterbalance to each other.

 Markets exist because people want things. Therein lies the problem. There's little difference if a messaging app facilitates vice that exists. Large-scale drug cartels etc. should be visible and therefore feasible to police (see images of Myanmar's compund of trafficked slaves for example. I feel these problems are largely often unrelated. 
 Demanding backdoors in whilst using the same tech to build opaque systems and moats is disingenuous.

I was just saying that trying to outlaw the application of math and discreet comms is authoritarian and lazy.

But I agree that the peak value is in stripping away civil liberties. We are all N.Korea now.

 Happened a few times. I think it's a syncronization/stale event thing. I've seen warnings on Primal to effect that commiting to a follow might lose data (so don't if you see that.)

It is handy to put a relay on a local node or vps to backup all your events, sth like Start9/Umbrel or on a vps. If anything happens can rebroadcast events from other relays back to yours. I used https://usenostr.org/relay (uses same frontend as Umbrel) then broadcast with https://github.com/leesalminen/nostr-broadcast can use a tool like https://github.com/rot13maxi/key-convertr to convert my npub/nsec from decimal to hex.
