gm welcome to day 1 in buenos aires, we’re going to hang out with some bitcoiners 👌
https://m.primal.net/Llzr.mov


gamblers gotta get in + out


you gotta be careful what you manifest in this life!! your legacy chooses itself 👌


prediction: solana is going to stay the memecoin factory king of this decade. this is SBF’s legacy. every bitcoin L2 will fall to solana


every single bitcoin L2 pitch is the same: bitcoin is a big market which we will onboard to our ecosystem by giving them degen tools

guys the degen tools have existed for years on other chains, just aint no bitcoiners interested https://image.nostr.build/4a62e7f65f3b04a7456407eb4f84b946363a3ebf1a57d2d87fad5c07ed313932.jpg https://image.nostr.build/b7308c5d665054078750a0958b41d7a247953c1c56ebfe04a1238bdd4b25217e.jpg https://image.nostr.build/8f28a2abb20930581fc10ba75de2c7d494f73c0bee29fde58c287d5e7246706b.jpg https://image.nostr.build/8095340d6c6394e14447bf54018a1079901cd9a157cc849d1400f3331b4dd5fd.jpg


i feel like my life just 10x’d ❤ (brought on the world’s best assistant nostr:npub1s8dcec2r32yemn036tpqwp6wlj9whkcsymhu5lp3qhvfdyqmtvtq2vjalq)


Great report on channeld using 100% CPU and getting laggy on giant nodes. Random backtrace via `gdb -ex` showed memmove in the to-gossipd queue.

Ok, it's a bad implementation for big queues, which is easy to fix, but I also added a backtrace first time we surpassed 100k entries.

This hit *gossipd* first: and, because it was the queue to the main daemon and I'm an idiot (writing the backtrace before setting the "done-once" flag) it recursed infinitely.

But the root of *this* was a known issue, that we spam the logs when we get lots of gossip. So a log level below "debug" was added a while ago, "trace".

But we had explicit logic to suppress debug messages from making the queue too long, which *wasn't* extended for trace! One line fix.

Now, I went to look at the original issue: connectd flooding gossipd and slowing down. This is definitely possible, if we get a lot of gossip at startup: gossipd may have its hands full keeping up. But actually, I'm pretty sure what was happening was gossipd running slow  *because* of the slow performance of its own queue to lightningd!

So there's a trivial commit at the end of the series which raises the queue size before reporting an issue to 250k and explains why the other commits (which didn't touch channeld) actually fixed the issue!


it felt like forever 🤣

hoy mismo, si!!


also not sure I’d recommend flying down to latam during the day vs overnight. I have mixed feelings about it


i decided to do something “interesting” and fly Aerolíneas Argentinas, the argentinian airline, to get to Buenos Aires this trip. here’s a few things i learned:

- lunch was beef 🥩 very nice
- everyone expected me to know spanish. great for feeling like you’ve arrived before you even leave the states!
- the foreigners line at customs was super short because most of the people on the flight were argentinos
- plane was a bit older, but an airbus not a boeing

also got a hot tip from a door porter when catching my Uber: rather than walk to the pick up lot tell the driver to come get me at the nearest arrivals door. it worked amazing, i felt like royalty 🤣


damn. i need to go so much harder


I think it’s mostly on delving, been a very long time since i’ve posted anything 😅

Matt’s a great person to ping about it, he led a working group on gossip balance proposals about 2y ago


big thanks to Brandon Iglesias, Michael Tidwell, Brianna d’Estries and the rest of the TABCONF organizing team for a fantastic 4-days in atlanta 🙌

I live in Las Vegas, Nevada.

I can literally go into almost any store and gamble my money away. I can buy weed on almost any corner. In certain counties, I can go and swap cash for sexual favors. Almost any vice you can think of can be satisfied in minutes. Almost.

My state government draws the line though when it comes to personal finance and protects me from using financial services like  nostr:npub1xkere5pd94672h8w8r77uf4ustcazhfujkqgqzcykrdzakm4zl4qeud0en.

STDs and addiction good. Savings and compound interest bad.

I’m a travel app maxi, especially for airlines. having all my tickets in one spot and notifications about when i need to be where is 👌 they also sometimes have airport maps and it’s easier to check on baggage limits or cancel/change a flight than having to dig through my email to find the reservation info

oh you smart smart


i think this is why introversion is hard to pin down, it’s really the shadow universe of what living without that external magnet is like


high extroverts experience a feeling of desire to interact with the external environment that i’ve best heard described as “greediness”; introverts otoh are way more satisfied with *not interacting*, there’s no strong magnet of emotion pulling you into interaction with your environment in the same way


the radical self-love one ☝


I don’t advocate taking the tests, you can easily figure it out for yourself imo once you know the basics of the letter categories

HUGE UPDATE!!

We just established a Meshtastic repeater on top of Big Bald Mountain on the border of North Carolina and Tennessee.

We had a @Starlink Mini in our pack and maintained connectivity the entire time. Big shout out to Elon Musk.

The really amazing thing was the 194 nodes we have connected from Raleigh, to Knoxville, to Charlotte, to Greenville and all the way down to Atlanta!!

The Freedom Tech Revolution is hitting another gear.

I’d like to give a big shoutout to nostr:npub1e0z776cpe0gllgktjk54fuzv8pdfxmq6smsmh8xd7t8s7n474n9smk0txy for putting on a wonderful nostr:npub1dwah6u025f2yy9dgwlsndntlfy85vf0t2eze5rdg2mxg99k4mucqxz7c52 conference.

Absolutely, the most high signal bitcoin conference I’ve ever attended.

I’m excited to see what comes out of a room full of productive people thinking about ecash.

I’ll add, don’t sleep on the nostr:npub1uq70uqgas9pyhds2zt57kr9se8rg3s68ztphjnq82ts8rzeknmeql7u0c2 team. The minds they have assembled are brilliant. The amount of thought they’ve put in to make that ecosystem robust is breathtaking.

One amazing thing I learned about (out of many) at the ecash conference

A router for sharing internet

Someone from India, living in a place with a lot of internet access problems, built a set-up where people can buy internet without having any internet in the first place. 1 sat per minute

He built a captive portal that you log into and the page says — I take ecash from this one mint, get ecash from there and paste it into this text box — you paste it in, hit enter, and you’re online

You’ve made an offline payment and voila, you're now online

There are many exciting Bitcoin developments happening but it's becoming more clear that ecash is a wholly different, complementary technology that does different things, including many things that Bitcoin can't do no matter how many upgrades it gets

Entirely possible that I'm mis{sing,interpret}ing things here but: it's a shame that the dual funding in c-lightning is still behind a non-default experimental-dual-fund flag and that when i search for the "option-will-fund" in the listnodes output I only get like 5-10 out of 90K. To be clear, by following fairly simple instructions in an old blog post, I was able to make a well-funded and perfectly balanced channel, within a couple of minutes.

For those interested in coinjoin, note that this *is* coinjoin and arguably one of the best types, since by nature of the offchain payments, this kind of CJ can actually hide flows better. If we want to get the real power of such a thing we'd ideally start batching *multiple* such channel opens together, but that's putting the cart before the horse here. Dual funded channels are such an obvious good, why is it not a more widely used system, or am I missing something? #lightning

Just installed #alby hub alongside my home node.

https://guides.getalby.com/user-guide/alby-account-and-browser-extension/alby-hub/alby-hub-flavors/desktop

Interesting experience; I did not opt for the purist route of own LN and BTC node (not sure how purist that actually is, in the end) but the more 'default' option of LDK talking to esplora (as I understood). Very interesting how different the modern onboarding experience is.

Of course even this is a bit too much responsibility for most users most of the time (an always on PC!). Cloud hosting makes sense, but I think the fee will put people off, a bit (no judgment).

All of this is super lax privacy wise to be clear. Even more so than my every day expenses LN wallet, Phoenix.

As a result I've finally reenabled zaps for myself after more than a year's hiatus 😄

in the last post we talked about how we need introspection to make more restrictive statements about where bitcoin is allowed to be spent. for example, to only let the bitcoin be spent in a transaction that pays nifty 500k of the sats.

how do we make introspection happen in bitcoin scripts? there’s a couple of proposals, each one a bit more involved than the last. we’ll start with the simplest proposal, and work our way to the most complex.

the simplest is probably the least well known: op-tx. this opcode will take a flagset as its input. the flagset “flags” which parts of the tx should be added onto the stack. the interpreter will look at the flags, find that data in the tx, and then pull it in by putting it on the stack.

once the data is pushed onto the stack, you can make assertions about that data. for example, you could flag to op-tx to push the first output amount and script onto the stack. this would then let you check that the tx is sending at least 500k sats to nifty’s address.

op-tx is very simple, but powerful. there’s open questions about how to design the flags that refer to different parts of a transaction, as well as how expensive it can be to do operations on the data. could you maybe make a script that has too long of a run time because of having access to so much transaction data? there’s also issues with limited amounts of data being allowed onto the stack, which you might run into if the tx info is too big.

to try to alleviate concerns about access to too much data, op-txhash has been proposed.

txhash works similarly, in that it lets you define a flagset which points to different parts of the transaction. instead of pushing the data directly onto the stack, however, it instead hashes the data and pushes the resulting *hash* onto the stack.

so if i wanted to check that the first output of the transaction paid me 500k sats, i’d have to figure out the hash of that when writing the locking script. i’d then use op-txhash to push the hash of the first output onto the stack, and them compare that to the one i calculated when i first locked the coins up. instead of looking at data directly, we’re looking at hashes of data.

there are some downsides to using hashes. for example, this makes it impossible to do comparisons like “at least” 500k sats sent to nifty. you’d have to only accept txs that send exactly 500k sats.

using hashes has definite upsides though. you can verify a lot more information in a single check. for example instead of checking the amount and address separately, you’d check a single hash value that compares them both. this also saves space, and reduces the number of checks that need to be done.

which brings us to op-ctv. op-ctv is an opinionated version of op-txhash. instead of allowing you to choose what set of fields from a tx you want to hash and check against, it picks a fixed set of data from the tx that goes into the hash. this means you need a better understanding of exactly what the tx your bitcoin will be spent in to use ctv. you can’t just compare the first output’s hash, for example.

op-ctv stands for “check template verify”; the “template” in this case is the fixed set of fields in a tx that will be hashed together.

one downside to using op-ctv is that you can’t change the amounts or outputs in the spending tx, which makes it more difficult to add fees later to ensure the tx can be mined.

ok that’s a good stopping point for the “simple” hash and direct access proposals for introspection opcodes in bitcoin scripting.

in the next post we’ll look at the craziest way that introspection can be added to bitcoin: op-cat 🐱

it’s easy to spot this kind of behavior— if you’re providing the bitcoin address to send funds to you can have confidence that your funds are unencumbered

the usual argument is that you can do what you describe today merely by making all funds require a signature from another party (you can’t spend them w/o the other party’s explicit sign off). this idea is used extensively in lightning to ensure funds end up in agreed upon places


definitely not in japan anymore; people on the train are being loud!! 😂


planning to spin up some study clubs next month! will keep you posted 👍


it’s weird how “taking the train to berlin from prague” has become a non-exotic behavior

i don’t feel like a foreigner or a tourist. i feel more endemic, like a person with connection to the place and business being here


Language is power 🪶


!!! wow


not without them sending your bitcoin to an address your wallet doesn’t recognize — if you’re the one providing the address for the sats to be sent to, you’re the one fully deciding how those bitcoin can be spent


@walletsardine and @anchorwatch are building/have timelock capabilities, but theyre the only ones i know of. the reasons for this are a bit complex


there’s a lot of talk about “covenants” but not a lot of understanding what that entails. lets do a little dive into how i think about the opcode proposals and how they relate to “enabling covenants on bitcoin”

what is a covenant?

great question. a covenant is the ability to specify what the transaction that spends your bitcoin must look like. for example, you could say “the transaction that spends this bitcoin must pay 500k sats to this address” or “the transaction that spends this bitcoin must have a locktime set to block 880,000”

in order to make these kinds of assertions in bitcoin transactions, you need the ability to find out what information is in the transaction that is spending an output. this information needs to be accessible when the script is running.

bitcoin script is a limited programming language that you use to write locks for bitcoin. one of the limitations is what data you have access to while the program is running.

so in order to write more “expressive” bitcoin scripts, which can say “one output must be to my address and pay 500k sats”, for example, you need to be able to look at the outputs on a transaction.

this ability to look at the info on a transaction is called “introspection”. being able to introspect a transaction is a big missing piece in bitcoin. adding introspection enables you to write covenants.

so how do you get introspection in bitcoin script?

you have to add a new opcode for it. in fact, we’ve added two opcodes to bitcoin that enable introspection already: op-checklocktimeverify (op-cltv) and op-checksequenceverify (op-csv)

these look at the locktime/sequence of a transaction and require a certain value to be set in order to be valid. they were added in order to enable lightning, which uses both op-cltv and op-csv to make “primitive” covenants. these were added to enable LN, to help scale bitcoin.

today you could write a bitcoin script that asserts “the transaction that spends this bitcoin must have a locktime set to block 880,000”. you’d use op-cltv to make that script, and any coins locked to that script wouldn’t be spendable til block 880,000.

there’s no way to look at the output fields in a transaction though. you cant write a script that requires funds to go somewhere, you’d have to use presigned txs (like how lightning does) to make that kind of assertion.

ok so the goal of introspection is to let you look at what information is in a transaction that’s spending a bitcoin output. we can do this already with op-cltv and op-csv. but this is limited just to timelocks, and doesn’t let us make assertions about outputs, or other inputs.

in the next post i’ll talk about how the current opcode proposals (op-ctv, op-txhash, op-tx, op-cat) work and how they enable more broad tx introspection !

thought my train left at 5p; got to the station at 4.12p. couldn’t find my train on the board, no luck finding my ticket in my email.

checked the train ticketing app, next train is at 4.28p. yep, i can definitely see that train on the board. it’s now 4.16p.

i smash buy a ticket on the app and start looking for the track but cant find it. head to the information desk, ask where the track is. turns out it’s all the way at the end if the station on the second floor. it’s now 4.21p.

i run. make it to the platform, there’s a big flight of stairs up. I have 100lbs of luggage, there’s no time to look for an elevator so i start dragging.

I make it to the platform. it’s now 4.26p. the train is still there. I head to the nearest door and climb on.

ive been on this route before and know that the regular fare cars always get overbooked. you end up spending the 4 and a half hour ride sitting in the aisle. i paid extra for a first class ticket so i could avoid this fate (and tried to arrive forty minutes early rip)

problem is, i have no idea where the first class car is. im stuck in the middle of the train. the aisles are crowded. I’m dragging two oversize suitcases.

i start walking towards the front of the train but it’s ugly. the aisles are strewn with people who are hunkering down for a long ride. they are very much unhappy about me pushing past them. i feel bad but at this point i have paid for not one but two tickets on this train. i am getting to the first class car, preferably before we get to the next station and more people board.

it’s insane to me that the tickets are sold without reservations, this whole situation feels extremely chaotic. sure it’s partly my fault, it’s also completely nuts to me how oversold trains here are.

i only have to walk through three cars to get to the first class car. it’s also packed but there’s no one in the aisle and there is one empty seat next to a sleeping lady. i wake her up to so she’ll move her stuff off the unoccupied seat. there’s even a luggage rack on this car, what a luxury.

luggage stowed, seat acquired,
and we’re on the way to Berlin 🙌 🇨🇿 🚆🇩🇪

yeah when i cant remember what the command i ran a month ago was 🤣


i picked up a really amazing wool skirt in kyoto and have been so grateful for it in the chilly weather here in prague. walking around, i noticed lots of ladies looking a tad chilly in pants and it sorta occurred to me that traditional “women’s clothes” are a lot cozier in colder weather than pants are

i used to wear two pairs of pants from October to April when i lived in NYC. kinda funny to realize i probably would have been much happier in long wool skirts

women get cold more easily, makes sense that we’d have “blankets that attach to your body” as a fashion statement before central heating existed 🤣


if it passes, would you move to the US?


thank you for this reporting 👌


I read the just introduced Saving Privacy Act so you don't have to, and it's pretty fucking badass. If passed, it would completely reform financial privacy in the US.

The Bill removes SARs and CTRs filing requirements, makes financial information only accessible via a search warrant, specifically introduces fourth amendment protections, bans the creation of central databases holding personally identifiable information without the establishment of a dedicated law granting a US agency such right, bans the US Government from creating CBDCs, and introduces criminal penalties for any US official violating your financial privacy rights.

Yes, please.

not mentioned is that the winters in this region are really long and hard (feet of snow on the roof etc). pickling was the main way to make preserves for the long winters, which explains why there’s so many pickled veggies in the cuisine in japan

i gotta see all the shrines now, im chasing that high 😭


i visited one shinto shrine in tokyo, the ana-hachimangu, and it was so beautiful. i’m obsessed ⛩

it haunts me. no photo could do it justice. i didn’t spend enough time staring at it, i want to see ut again. i wont make it back this trip.

somehow a lot of the interiority of Japanese design and architecture were made clear with that one brief glimpse of the divine https://video.nostr.build/3c5f291d83c4c1ab91665c1e46b3c49e246a5b0e694491104289624192af3700.mp4


want!


it makes sense that a landing place for birds would also be a spirit portal 🦅


no one really knows the origin of the practice of constructing torii gates but can trace them back to a mention in a text from 922; the oldest wooden one was built in 1535

one theory is that they were originally bird perches, but that since birds are considered a symbol of death the “bird” word isn’t written onto them and the connection was lost with time. korean religions still have bird perch totems in their culture, which lend credence to this idea.

torii are seen as portals where kami (spirit archetypes/deities) arrive; the kami “counter” word is the same word as pole

when i look at pictures of torii with the double lintels on top its not hard to see a bird perch with a little roof on top https://image.nostr.build/2148fe611cb40132f4ed45ac54cd331164867aeb428569da51f6a9461de52163.jpg


torii gates are meant to delineate the transition from the mundane to the divine; at inari shrines they're typically bright red and contributed to the shrine by successful businessmen as thanks for their success https://m.primal.net/LEWm.png


i really understand why a certain type of autistic really likes japan; there are scripts for everything here. the commitment to systems (communication/social/building/maintenance) is unparalleled

being a foreigner and wanting to eat in all the places you’re not supposed to in japan really makes me question my life choices

ok fine now that I’m considering it eating a cookie in the work phone booth is a weird choice


Last three weeks I've been working on improving payments. Critical to this are five things:
1. Better payment routing, a-la min-cost-flow.
2. Better low-level payment injection API
3. Simpler, more reliable implementation.
4. Better simulation and realistic testing.
5. Better gossip maintenance.

For the first, I took the heart off renepay to make "askrene" the payment oracle, which provides "getroutes" for other plugins to use. A primitive version shipped in the current release, but it's already getting better as I start to use it.

Today I finished "injectpaymentonion" which takes incoming payments the same way we deal with incoming HTLCs, unifying things that were previously difficult, like self-pay and bolt12 blinded paths that begin at our own node.

Tying these together is a new plug-in called "xpay". This calls getroutes then injectpaymentonion, then iterates as results come back, feeding back information to askrene as we learn more about the network.

To figure out how well this actually performs, I've got a new format for representing topology, with minimal information (no node names, just channel capacities, details and topology). A simple tool compresses this from a node's gossip store (and decompress back for use). The result is small enough that we can include graph snapshots on our repository for testing.

Then I have written a fake "channeld" which simulates payments through this graph (it knows all the secret keys). This needs to be enhanced with simulating capacity of the channels (deterministically, based on a seed value) and realistic network delays, but it already does MPP timeouts and checks fees and cltv delays.

This should allow me to test this system's performance in a way that mirrors what people actually see, and also measure it against what we have now. It may uncover bugs, but even better it will let me know where to optimize (min cost flow can definitely be a CPU hog!).

And nostr:nprofile1qqsx533y9axh8s2wz9xetcfnvsultwg339t3mkwz6nayrrdsrr9caagpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezumt0d5hsdqzu7w is working on ideas for more aggressive gossip gathering: if we're missing part of the map we cannot expect to have reliable payments!

a lot of regulations are in place such that people can transact via counterparties they place trust in; trustless protocols are revolutionary for value exchange, especially at a distance


bitcoin is changing payments — it’s really obvious to me that the regulatory framework for payment businesses is due for a big update now that immediate transfer of value is possible in a trustless manner. whatever jurisdiction figures this out is going to unleash a really interesting revolution in terms of peer to peer transactions


also big shoutout to nostr:npub1cpzpxu5w86mkvvjncl6g4gm723u6vhqv34lj7dxtszsq9ed0nrqqqqsfvr for his support and work to pull off such a great event. really lucky to have him helping make the event a huge success

I’m checking out taiwan/taipei ahead of the japan bitcoin conference next week and decided to try making a vlog of my adventures 📸

first impression is really good!

if you need a new backpack for fall, I can’t recommend the ucon acrobatics Hajo series enough. i’ve had mine for almost a decade and i love it as much today as when i first got it. the roll top design makes it infinitely expandable for putting stuff in + also makes it a difficult  target for pickpockets. expertly designed and well made 👌

The next three days is the online fediverse conference the fediforum.

It’s a great unconference talking about everything social media protocol. Nostr is part of the fediverse even if we’re very different from the classic Mastodon. It’d be great to get more folks from Nostr to attend.

ok but how does the mint know they’re lost?


TABCONF was my first ever bitcoin technical conference and i really had a great time running the base58 village there last year! def check it out ✈ nostr:note1n5d8qjzvalde9q8xeysvdqlxzymwqx9fqsl7qnux25dh09h2lj3qj8kad8

yeah its been down for months due to a cascade of failures; i finally have all the pieces back under my control, just need to find some time to debug the call chain now


pode ser. que quiser dizer?


someone finally answered my question about how you make sure your nostr note data stays around (run a private relay); im not really sure i’d rely on public relays to save my ecash balance yall 😂


how do turn this on?


biggest “problem” is there’s at most 5 new things to look at in my feed before it starts repeating things I’ve already seen. i’ll scroll through about two before closing the app


ive been posting on nostr more because i deleted twitter off my phone and i gotta say the content is not nearly as compelling. its been working great

i haven't read @vgr's book "tempo" but it comes to mind every time i feel like i'm on the clock for getting something done (responding to a DM, sending an update, shipping some code)

momentum matters


honestly 5m is insanely good, apparently friend.com recently sold for a measly 1.8m


ooof. well you should definitely put it on your asset sheet of the startup if youve already proven that a 5m market exists for it!!

omg 🤣


wuem instalou o Alexandre de Moraes?


you can’t block step one unless you block the creation of every taproot output and that’s pretty absurd


making an inscription is a two-step process. first, you send bitcoin to the hash of a script. this creates an output in the utxoset

second, you spend that output revealing the script. this is the part that gets blocked by filtering, but it leaves the output created in step one forever stuck as a utxo


trying to convince a plebdev that filtering ordinal inscriptions is technically contributing to utxoset bloat and failing


Once a week I work on Core Lightning things, with a particular focus on doing code reviews.  One of today's PRs that I looked through was for updating CLN to the latest spec updates.

Here's a short write up of what's changed in the last few months on the specs (tldr: mostly renaming things for BOLT12)

ohh this explains why it was surprising. i was looking out for other dogs and walkers, bikers weren’t on my radar at all. because they’re normally looking out for me!


oh she figured out i didn’t speak her language without me having to say anything. she had reached “laugh it off” as i brushed past her 😉


she did basically play chicken with me on her bike until we reached a stand still it was mildly impressive that she held her ground so resolutely


had a sort of funny interaction today while out walking the dogs. i was distracted and walking on “the wrong side” of the sidewalk near the lake in austin. a lady on a bike just … came at me until she stopped and we were face to face. she says “you’re on the wrong side”, clearly upset im not following the unspoken rule of rights of way

i just ignored her and walked around. the next biker we encountered did the normal thing and just routed around me.

i was probably in the wrong but im not sure it mattered. do you get where you’re going or do you confront the obstacles in your path 🤣


oooh 😯

ok i’ll bite, why blue corn?


ok but why is that


funny that doesn’t look like wiz …. 👀

i feel like people are more interested in telling me how they feel about having follower counts than explaining why there’s such drastically different reports on them 😂


thanks for the explanation!


what is the "outbox model"


how did they find out about me then? i'd expect they're not getting any of my notes if they're not connected to any relays i'm on


does this also apply to DMs?

why would primal lie to me??


well who's right?


so how many people am i actually reaching by posting? 😂

URGENT: PROTECT YOUR PRIVACY COMMUNICATION RIGHT NOW!

on 4th Sept 2024 #ChatControl regulation representatives of EU goverments will resume work based on a secret document according to Patrick #Breyer, former Member of the European Parliament.

Help to mobilize everybody to defend our #privacy of communication and its developers, investors!

If no preventive actions from your side now, this regulation will be endorsed on 12/13 December 2024.

According to the draft regulation dated 28 May (Council document 9093/24), ChatControl deploys to do, for instance:

🔻 “upload moderation”, users of apps and services with chat functions are to be asked whether they accept the indiscriminate and error-prone scanning and possibly reporting of their privately shared images, photos and videos.

🔻Scan by “artificial intelligence” technology previously unknown images and videos;

🔻If a user refuses the scanning, they would be blocked from sending or receiving images, photos, videos and links (Article 10).

🔻End-to-end encrypted services such as Whatsapp or Signal would have to implement the automated searches “prior to transmission” of a message (so-called client-side scanning, Article 10a).

During the last discussion on 24 May, the Council Legal Service made it clear that indiscriminate chat control scanning of non-suspects is still envisioned and remains a violation of fundamental rights.

Nevertheless, most EU governments are determined to go ahead. https://netzpolitik.org/wp-upload/2024/05/2024-05-28_Council_Presidency_LEWP_CSAR_Compromise-texts_9093.pdf

🌎 Tell your goverment and parliamentarians, that the proposal should be rejected altogether!

🔴Is your government in favour?
→ Ask for an explanation and for your government to revert its course.

🟡Is your government abstaining?
→ Ask why and demand that they take a strong stance against chat control.

🟢Is your government opposing?
→ Great, but take a closer look at the reasoning: Some governments like #Germany e.g. only object to the scanning of encrypted communications, but are fine with the indiscriminate scanning of other private and public communication, with the end of anonymous communication by requiring age verification, or with introducing a minimum age for “risky” communication apps. Also critical governments need to do more, exert their influence in the Council of the EU and agree on a joint list of necessary fundamental changes to the proposal. Absent such revision they should ask the European Commission to withdraw the chat control proposal as it stands.

🔴 In favour of ChatControl: France, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Denmark, Finland, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden.

🟡Abstained: Estonia, Netherlands, Slovenia, Czech Republic, Austria

🟢 Opposed the proposal: Germany, Poland

When reaching out to your government, the ministries of the interior (in the lead) of justice and of digitisation/telecommunications/economy are your best bet. You can additionally contact the permanent representation of your country with the EU: https://op.europa.eu/en/web/who-is-who/organization/-/organization/COREPER/

If you have never made pull request to a free open-source project you should make that your weeks challenge. Even something simple, like fixing some spelling in a readme doc. Don't be scared. There's a bunch of technical ways to make a pr, but the easiest is to edit a doc directly in github, it will make the pr for you. Just register on github, go to the page you want to edit and click the edit button 👍.
Even if your pr is rejected, you made a pr, well done, you are a modern human again, welcome to the revolution 🤝.

what would you do with your real friends that you dont do with your current ones?

biggest ath you can hit is your own stack size 😉


what would privacy look like to you?


there’s no obvious tell that its dropping messages, its a pretty silent failure case


you just wont get messages and you wont even know you didn’t get them


one thing that’s kinda obvious/annoying to me about nostr is there’s no way you know what youve missed because of a relay mis-sync


ok i wanna know: what’s missing in your bitcoin life??


remember when she hit 15k in a massive slide, that one time 😅


me, watching the price dip back down to 58k again:

bitcoin, you’re doing amazing sweetie 🧡


oh!! thanks jestopher ❤


I'm excited to announce the first release of NWS, a resilient connectivity solution that leverages NOSTR as a transport for TCP. NWS enables seamless communication between devices without public IP addresses. Below are the key features introduced in this release:

- **Exit Node Internet Relay:** Exit nodes can relay public internet traffic, allowing entry nodes to access the internet using the exit node's outgoing IP address.

- **.nostr Domain Support:** NWS now supports `.nostr` domains, which are valid RFC 1035 domains. This feature ensures compatibility with most existing clients.

- **Reverse TCP Connect Mode:** We've added a reverse TCP connect mode where the exit node initiates a TCP connection to the public entry node upon receiving a request. This mode utilizes NOSTR for service discovery while forwarding data packets through the reverse connection, enhancing connectivity and reducing load on public NOSTR relays.

This is just the beginning. With many more features and enhancements on our roadmap, we are excited about the future of NWS and its potential. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to develop NWS.

Every time when I was said “bitcoin doesn’t care” I was telling that we need to protect and PREVENT attacks against developers, investors, end-users and entire ecosystem of Bitcoin, including miners.

Case of #Durov is a bright example what we can expect if technology is labeled with negative language by regulators in western countries, especially EU.

If it isn’t protected now, privacy will be classified as a crime, just like in the case of Durov by French law enforcement agencies:
🔻providing cryptology services aiming to ensure confidentiality without certified declaration;
🔻“providing cryptology services aiming to ensure authentication or integrity monitoring without prior declaration”. https://image.nostr.build/91a93be826c3267398b89d74f02bb2546d8bc9dc46d853d4593046c10a721b1f.jpg https://image.nostr.build/1b74af5fa48c90fac634de47454ee595e464e36278ec2abc7ac574279ff993cd.jpg
