 Nostr keys are the identity and web of trust layer.
Nostr relays are the data delivery and availability layer. 
 That's excellent progress!
I've become increasingly more enthusiastic about script restoration, specifically the stark constructions this opens up.
Thanks a lot for pushing this forward! 
 It's really incredible what can be done with Bitcoin script.
Taproot is such a gamechanger.

 Thinking about doing an audio book of the graphene os documentation.

wdyt? 
 Do you know of such an article / book? 
 Yeah that's an issue, but a big chunk of it is evergreen.

 Always.

 Nostr relays are cool, but so are Tor relays, you should run one of those too pls 🙏 
 Bundle it into haven, run relay node by default, run exit node optional, profit.  
 Thanks for digging this up!  
 This is a really really really wild story, we are standing on top of unknown giants.

 A monopoly is defined by utilizing aggression to keep new entrepreneurs from providing a service in the market.

Since bitcoin miners are anonymous, and since they only need compute power to provide a service, bitcoin mining is hardcore anti-monopoly, or in other words, a radical free market. 

Whenever there is no opportunity for monopoly, new entrepreneurs can always sweep in to provide the service, even if there's only a tiny bit of profit possible. Thus the price for the good (hash price) will tend towards the marginal cost of production, so that there's very little profit opportunities, meaning if you're not incredibly efficient and provide the hash at very low cost, you are likely unprofitable and just burning your money.  
 Is nostr still eating up my data on the road or did we solve this? 
 Amethyst has settings to not download certain things on mobile or metered wifi.  
 Would be cool to have a filter for the notifications in amethyst so to only see replies.  
 Yes, that's already useful, but inside amethyst UI would be useful as well.  
 That's actually a great idea!  
 The EINUNDZWANZIG Board has unanimously decided to support the developer team of the Nostr client... 
 Bullish. 
Thanks for the support!  
 Glad you enjoyed the book!
By the way, this was written 1997-2001, and was first published in 2002, the second edition is from 2007 with mainly style changes.  
 First the book was published anonymous, later Paul attributed himself to it (and you can rather easily verify by checking his other writings published at the time and after). 
I found the book years ago, and did the audiobook recently.  
 Trademarks are theft.  
 Basically all form of intellectual property. 
https://mises.org/library/book/against-intellectual-property 
 No, the trademark holder steals the physical media which the trademark violator owns.  
 tl;dr, property rights are a solution to the problem of requirement to allocate scarce resources. 

Ideas are non-scarce, and if property rights are applied, then it's not protective, but in fact violates the property in actually scarce resources of peaceful people.

 If Alice signs a contract that says Bob will deliver a good, but it's actually Charlie that signs it pretending to be Bob, den Charlie has stolen the money from Alice. 
He has not stolen the image of the logo from Bob.  
 I guess the first is a clear intent and preparation to use violence.  
 Going to give this a read.

I’m an artist. If I come up with some original characters, are you saying that I shouldn’t have the right to protect my creations? Shouldn’t be able to prevent others from trying to steal my art and then make money from it? 
 Did I just steal anything from you by right click copy paste?  
 Are you going to take away my computer because I took away "your" words?  
 I even got zapped for the cloned text, are you going to try to take my sats now too?  
 Exactly, interesting book, haven't heard of it!  
 If I claim to be you and sell a product to Alice, then I didn't steal an idea from you, but I stole money from Alice.  
 Huge!
That's a massive milestone, and shows your insane effort to build such an important project. 
Thanks to all contributors to make this happen, you're heroes!! 💚

 In most cases personal identity is not salient.  
 It's a good point!

 Insanely great end to an insanely great scene. 
 There are a couple of these logical walkthroughts of tough ethical questions in the book. Beautiful! 
It's great for initiating others.  
 What’s the best book you read in the past year? #bookstr 
 Glad you liked it.  
 Thinking about doing an audiobook for the lodging of wayfaring men. 

Zap if you'd like to hear it.  
 He's a bitcoiner alright. 
Knows of nostr and likes the idea, but he's an email kinda guy, doesn't even have a smartphone. 
 Yeah, he knows, I don't know a more optimistic and hopeful person.
