Well, that certainly sounds like an interesting premise.
I've operated a Lightning node for a couple years now, and I'm not sold on ecash yet. As far as anonymity goes, I always thought that running Lightning over Tor was enough - is this not the case?
I can imagine that, if I want to give friends access to operate through my system, I'll need to have some standard for keeping track of how much each person holds. It seems that this is the use-case that ecash aims to solve, but it certainly seems like a complicated way to go about it. Is there something I'm missing?
Neat, I like the simplicity of that approach. So the "wallet" here is an ecash wallet, which can send and receive tokens to a cooperative Lightning node in exchange for a lightning transfer of equal value?
Neat! There's a lot here, I'd have to read up on everything else it does but this seems to be a good option for the use case I'm looking for. Thanks for fielding the questions.
I mean, the 5 emoji of their password will be added to the selection grid along with 20 of the other 3659 available emojis. Is that grid randomized every time? Can someone narrow down the password by seeing which emoji change and which don't?
It's almost like being progressive is... a progressive thing. Things change over twenty years, and if you don't put effort into changing then you shift towards whatever makes you feel comfortable.
I would probably catch flak for this if I had more of a platform here, but, whatever.
The nostr community is... not the best. Maybe I haven't explored enough, but everyone seems caught up in this collective echo chamber of self-serving bitcoin capitalism. Y'all are posting about extravagant trips to remote destinations and eating steak for dinner, meanwhile I'm over here living with my parents because I'm utterly repulsed by the idea of working for the same system that is responsible for the enslavement of the global south and most minority populations.
Like, is there anyone out here actually using their newfound wealth to lift up impoverished people in their community?

I'm having a hard time parsing the main 'app.py'
What do you mean? We're talking about people randomly generating new keypairs to flood accounts, right? Phones have enough compute to run basic PoW on a metadata event

Is your implementation of WoT equivalent (not necessarily compatible) to how it works in systems like OpenPGP? If not, what needs to be done to get there?
Cool, I think it's a path worth exploring. It's probably something as simple as an event with someone else's pubkey as its content. Throw in some proof-of-work to give the signature some weight, perhaps?
I mean, PGP's main trust condition is meeting IRL, and I don't think anything should supplant that. I'm pretty sure that everything else is based on degrees of separation
yea, but I'm irrelevant to you and everyone you know in your West African coastal community. Whether or not we talk all the time is irrelevant, I could be a chatbot.

Is there an established NIP for that workflow?
Douglas Rushkoff has a really interesting talk on the concept of an "economic operating system". He covers a lot of thinking that is bitcoin adjacent, but also does an excellent job of diving into the how and why we got ourselves into this collective mess in the first place. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0EnmH95016w
Rushkoff seems doubtful about Bitcoin, judging by some recent articles. I don't blame him, or anyone, for not holding on to hope when the people who are getting rich are going completely "Atlas Shrugged" about it and conferencing on remote islands.
When I think back on this interview, one of the things that comes to mind is the statement that family businesses (which tend to make everyone around them wealthy) out-perform corporations almost across the board, apart from boom cycles.
To connect those two thoughts, I would say that getting people like him on board is all about using the wealth and affluence afforded by holding Bitcoin to support one's local community and help pull others out of poverty.
Ultimately, I want to release something that feels 'professional'. I'm confident in my writing and playing abilities, but I feel hamstrung by a lack of support. I've put stuff together with Audacity, a DAW, and a microphone, but it doesn't sound polished and I have no idea how to make that happen.
