Yesterday I was in a forest with zero signal. There were mosquitoes around. I remembered that some B vitamins are supposed to repel mosquitoes, but I needed to confirm, to sound cool with my family. Luckily, I had the MLC Chat app with the tiny Gemma 2 2B model (only a few GB) downloaded for offline use.

Unfortunately, it said it's a common myth, no B vitamins can repel mosquitoes.

But the app is a must-have for prepping and emergency situations. Imagine you are somewhere in the middle of nowhere, infrastructure is down, you have this tensor enabled hyper AI turbo phone and it could have answered your question, but you did not install the app. Install it now.

Add this to Obtainium: https://github.com/mlc-ai/binary-mlc-llm-libs

The future is now, AI in your pocket, in the forest.


Damus is not on Android I believe.

There's  nostr:npub1yzvxlwp7wawed5vgefwfmugvumtp8c8t0etk3g8sky4n0ndvyxesnxrf8q for both I think.

But if it's better, recommendations for Android and iOS can be different. It seems that Primal is the way to go though, the only thing I don't like that much is the integrated wallet with all the things required to sign up.


If I flip, it is OK, I did not try that before, thanks. I don't really use the phone flipped.

I don't know if the blinking issue remains when flipped, it only happens sometimes, so I don't know how to reproduce it reliably.


Thank you, fixed!

Is it also the case with "secret chat"?


My nephew just created (with my help) a Nostr account for his drawings.  nostr:npub1uq663j5sc7a68g82mcy8zqp2zw7j8hskmjwjtrz53y06ggh7nz7smzfty4. I created an npub site for him as well. Facebook/Instagram would not have him, it's since 13/18 years (even though his parents approve).

Question: Are there kids nostriches here he could follow? Especially if they like drawing.

Veľmi pekný článok od R. Chovanculiaka.

Večná téma, aplikovaná v závere na školstvo.

"Pri „krajine zdatnosti“ je potrebné pripomenúť, že to nie je nejaká statická hádanka, ktorú má evolúcia rozlúštiť. Krajina zdatnosti sa neustále mení. A to nie len kvôli tomu, že sa v prírode neustále vyvíja fyzické, neživé prostredie, ale súčasťou krajiny zdatnosti je aj živý svet. Evolúcia jedného živočícha mení tvar a rozloženie krajiny zdatnosti pre druhého živočícha. Keď predátor zrýchli alebo vylepší svoj zrak, musí sa potenciálna korisť naučiť nový trik alebo zlepšiť v starých. To, čo bol včera evolučný vrchol, po ktorom ste stúpali hore, môže byť zajtra údolie, ktoré smeruje do priepasti vyhynutia. Preto evolúcia nikdy nezastavuje. Je to neustály proces učenia sa."

- toto platí aj o trhu (podnikateľské objavovanie je trhová verzia evolúcie) a toto väčšina ľudí o trhu nechápe.

Hey nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg, there is this annoying bug.

I have a folding Android device (Pixel Fold with GrapheneOS). It either looks like this, where only half of the screen is used, or it is full screen and blinks through black screen a few times per second (that's when I close it and switch to Amethyst for a few days).

would someone look into it?

Wait, it allows nostr wallet connect with external wallet now?

ooooooukeeeeeyyyy!


that was my hunch, I like it, except for the integrated wallet based on email and custodial.


Yes, they are basically sharing nsec, only you can just tell them the password, they don't even know there's an nsec. It's calculated in JavaScript on the page. So this works for communities that think they are blogging online.

I've migrated one such community that is operating since 2006 to Nostr -  nostr:npub1az5kfqpg5hqdma3dxt4yn4wln9ly2wvqjseauq8nhhz3vd9dg7fqv5meat. The backend was ugly PHP and shell scripts, now it's Nostr native, but the interface to the users looks exactly the same, many probably did not even notice it's on Nostr. But now you can repost, zap, ...

I was thinking about sharing password on traditional social media, but for several of these communities they would probably be cancelled. And changing password is a problem. Another problem is an e-mail, or the need to KYC in some cases. With shared nsec, no one has any extra power over the account, with traditional social media, the person that controls the e-mail has extra power and possibly extra responsibility.

With the Nostr approach, all there is are one to four static files (HTML / JavaScript), which can be hosted on blossom drives. And the only thing people need to know is the password.


I don't understand your question.

Green Wallet has mobile and desktop versions, the mobile (Android, iOS) is pretty good and up to date, the desktop version is based on an older version of Green.

It has nothing to do with hardware wallets, although you can use Jade and it works pretty well.


Which Nostr client has the best new user onboarding experience and why?

Needs to be multiplatform (at least Android and iOS). I am updating an older article on Nostr, which shows a client that no longer exists. Where should I point new users?

Preferably it should be able to scan QR codes with npubs - in that case I will use it also during a keynote to follow me and the conference account.

I am working on collective identities on Nostr, such  nostr:npub1w8y9gff9t3uukezqwrvl557uqca9mgj2w23qh0c5hh4758vr03nq8plssr.

It is basically an anonymous microblog based on Nostr. But you don't have to use Nostr to use it. You can read it through

https://prostate.npub.pro/

and write through clicking the link, or here:

https://cypherpunk.today/static/prostate-poster.html

You need to know the password to post, the key is derived from it. So everyone who knows the password can post. No one has any additional privileges, the password is direct knowledge of the private key.

You spread the password enough to enlarge the anonymity set, but not too much in order to not degrade the quality and vibe of the account.

Code here: https://github.com/jooray/anonmicroblog

I've updated the article on encrypted communication tools again. I've added Keet, I've completely updated Status because they have an epic new version that's more decentralized and it's a replacement for Discord rather than Signal. I threw out XX messenger because they stopped developing it. And I added Nostr-based messengers - direct messages, 0xchat and keychat.

Znova som aktualizoval článok o šifrovaných komunikačných nástrojoch. Pridal som Keet, úplne som aktualizoval Status, lebo majú epickú novú verziu, ktorá je decentralizovanejšia a je to skôr náhrada Discordu ako Signalu.

Headless is default, so that should not be a problem.


Venice.AI is a service that operates open-source image and text generation models in the cloud for end users. They offer a reasonably priced subscription service for state of the art image and text generation models (similar to ChatGPT, Midjourney, Claude). But there is a (legal and supported) way to get a lifetime Pro account without a subscription (do you hate subscriptions as much as I do?), for one-time cost (by buying a MOR token, which I'll simplify for you by just selling you the account where all this is activated).

Check out Venice (it's really cool) and if you want a Pro account, I have them for sale!

yes


Yes. One possible angle is that they won't do it like that. If you post a photo, someone might look at it in a photo viewing app like Instagram, some might see it as a blog or a microblog.

People looking at Nostr on Twitter often search for social media management app that can repost content from Twitter to Nostr. I always suggest not to do that, Nostr is different and has its own language and interactions are different. And it's best to get a feel for it first.

For creators, there are two ways of looking at it. First is that there is not much engagement here, you can't target, you can't convince the algorithm to show your posts. The old tricks don't work. On the other hand, for some niches, Nostr still is the least crowded channel (idea I got from Tim Ferris's work). Your competition is probably not here yet. It feels like town square, there is a nicer vibe to it.

But maybe it just isn't for creators, maybe it's for a few of us and it'll stay like it and it's ok.


I think the best narrative is interconnection of different apps. You get app with reviews of restaurants from your friends. Highlights of content. Posts and images. You can meet your friends at events.

All these apps use the same identity and social graph.

It's like if Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Medium, Yelp, Meetup, ... used the same backbone.

Príloha A: Popis projektu

Pominuteľná fasáda: Lamentácia nad spoločenským rozkladom

V tejto zdrvujúcej kritike súčasnej spoločnosti autor obnažuje zákernú eróziu hodnôt tvárou v tvár všadeprítomnému politikárčeniu. "Pominuteľná fasáda" je zmiešaná multimediálna inštalácia, ktorá predstavuje dystopický obraz sveta, v ktorom sa nenávratne zotreli hranice medzi pravdou a propagandou.

Prostredníctvom kakofónnej amalgámie zvuku, obrazu a textu umelec odhaľuje spôsoby, akými neúnavné bombardovanie straníckou rétorikou prispelo k rozkladu občianskej diskusie a rozpadu sociálnej súdržnosti. Víchrica protichodných ideológií a manipulatívnych správ hrozí, že pohltí samotnú štruktúru našej kolektívnej ľudskosti a zanechá za sebou pustú krajinu plnú dezilúzie a zúfalstva.

V srdci inštalácie sa nachádza strašidelná socha rozbitého zrkadla, ktorého roztrieštené črepiny odrážajú rozbitú psychiku spoločnosti, ktorá je rozpoltená súperiacimi záujmami moci a chamtivosti. Okolité steny sú polepené závratným množstvom propagandistických sloganov a ideologických mantier, ktorých prázdne istoty a cynické polopravdy sa vysmievajú samotnému pojmu objektívnej pravdy.

Medzitým na zmysly diváka útočí kakofonická zvuková kulisa televíznych diskusií, diatribúcií v rozhlase a ozveny sociálnych médií, ktorá vytvára zvukový ekvivalent bojiska, na ktorom sa upustilo od samotného pojmu občianskej diskusie. Je to víchor protichodných ideológií, z ktorých každá je ešte prenikavejšia a netolerantnejšia ako tá predchádzajúca, a slúži len na prehlušenie tichého hlasu rozumu a empatie.

V konečnom dôsledku je "Pominuteľná fasáda" zdrvujúcou obžalobou spoločnosti, ktorá sa stratila v púšti politikárčenia a propagandy. Je silnou pripomienkou, že hodnoty, ktoré sú nám drahé - pravda, súcit a spravodlivosť - nie sú len tovarom, ktorý sa dá kúpiť a predať na trhu s myšlienkami, ale skôr základom, na ktorom je postavená naša ľudskosť. Toto dielo je preto výzvou na znovuzískanie našich kolektívnych hodnôt a na obnovu spoločnosti, ktorá sa riadi zásadami empatie, porozumenia a múdrosti.

influence is not such a problem, many people have influence and it's warranted.

what is nice is that contrary to Bitcoin with strict rules, Nostr can be (and is!) much more punk. most of the times if you want to do something, you just do and it usually works.

Ollama runs your model locally

This project is a code different from Ollama, it pretends it is ollama but uses models through Venice.

So any app that would talk to local model through ollama can use Venice instead.


it's not effectivity. it's a very important realization, education is rarely a solution, even if it sounds like a good idea


no idea, I live free of carriers and contacts for years now. I shop for data on world wide market, so I pay for unlocked phones


I have a new micro-project.
It allows to use venice.ai lifetime Pro account with local apps that communicate over the ollama API (open-webui, or continue.dev your VS Code IDE / JetBrains IDE).

Check out the demo video, it's quite nice.

I can also provide a pro account if you don't want to fiddle with MOR tokens.

I started doing this because llama-3.1-405b is really a great model (I think better than ChatGPT for many coding tasks), but I can't run it locally on my laptop.

With this, I have everything set up to make it work locally, with the best open-source model available today.

Educating rarely helps. It's not lack of education, it's a worldview that is biased. They will seek "education" from MMT or their local communist friends. They have explanations for everything.

Groups have one very practical issue on nostr:npub1exv22uulqnmlluszc4yk92jhs2e5ajcs6mu3t00a6avzjcalj9csm7d828 that each message is basically sent as a DM to all other people, because of how delivery works on SimpleX.

If you were a message to a group with X people, you send X messages. If the message is a photo, you do the math.

Also the user experience is not superb with groups, there are glitches. But it's getting better. Doing this right is surprisingly difficult.


Oh, my life is orthogonal to normies. I prefer them staying on Telegram, so I can easily avoid them.


mostly correct.

Most emails are actually encrypted in transit these days, non TLS SMTP is actually pretty rare these days (estimates say that around 90% is actually tls encrypted).

you can also publish a policy that an email to your domain has to go through tls or fail delivery, protecting against active downgrading attacks.

of course end to end encryption is the best, so the SimpleX recommendation (or any other e2e encrypted messenger) stands.

what? wow!

telegram is a spyware run by dishonest people. Durov's FUDding that signal is insecure because of his conspiracy theory, yet not having end to end encryption for groups, with "we encrypt our database" security was hopefully eye opening for most. I never used Telegram for anything, it's very suspicious.

I've just published the draft NIP to bring highly secure DM and group messaging to Nostr via the MLS protocol.

I've been studying this space for months now and after looking at a lot of different options, MLS (messaging layer security) stood out as the right way to approach solving DMs and group messages. It's highly scalable, an internet standard, and allows for graceful upgrading over time.

Done right – this NIP allows us to build extremely secure, uncensorable messaging clients that have no centralized coordinators or servers. Which is what I plan to do next. 😉

There is no point in complaining about AI "taking jobs" of creative professions. The technology is here and it will not be uninvented.

I am grateful for it, it greatly expands my capabilities. It's like when the smartphones got cameras. Suddenly everyone is a part time photographer and the good photographers need to really stand out.

So stand out, don't complain. Be better than the machine. Or merge with the machine and be even better together.

Is there an Android client that supports creating NIP-23 long-form content (kind 30023)- meaning adding title, content, image and most importantly editing?

I know there's Habla and many other clients that work decently in web browser. I am looking specifically with Android app that has decent support for working off-line - like writing a blog while offline and posting it later.

I wonder if you have a Pixel 8 with GrapheneOS, which AI features from the Pixel also work on nostr:npub1235tem4hfn34edqh8hxfja9amty73998f0eagnuu4zm423s9e8ksdg0ht5 ? Because a lot of stuff pretends to be local only, will they work on GrapheneOS too?

For example, things like that feature with photos, you take multiple shots and you can choose for each person where they don't have their eyes closed and stuff.

I am using Pixel camera app with networking disabled on Graphene.

I'm wondering if the other local stuff on the Pixel 9 Fold Pro will also work on Graphene or just with stock Android. And what is really local only.

The Gemini app for example won't install for me, I use Gemini through web interface only.

Also, I wonder if Gemini Advanced is somehow tied to a Google account or to the OS - supposedly every Pixel 9 user should get a Gemini Advanced subscription. Maybe linking the device with stock OS to google account should activate the subscription?

That Pixel 9 Fold looks really cool, I didn't originally want to upgrade but I guess I'll have to when it gets Graphene support. The support for the original Pixel Fold was superb since the beginning.


You can have this. Or you can have orange summer. Your choice.

Everyone has a choice, Nostr is not locked out.

If you have a good content there it might be useful for you, although I did not find much good content there (I also follow security).

I am not against socialist relays, the problem was socialists blocking everyone else and breaking the network effect completely. You can't do that on Nostr, which is why it's superior.

eSIMs are their product, not a gift card. You get a QR code with esim directly from them.

I use mobimatter, keepgo and bitrefill. None of them do KYC, all can be bought anonymously with some cryptocurrency. mobimatter and keepgo are valid for a year without a top up, but you can top up with 3$ at least in keepgo to keep it alive for another year.

I just buy 50GB of data and when it expires, I but a new esim.

Also, the price is around 1/3rd of silent link last time I checked.

I am glad that all options (including silent link) exist. KYCed sims are just for normies.


The federation is the problem why it is censored. because the socialist home servers censor whole servers that are not socialist. I'm not exaggerating.

So the right question is - do we want to win these people over? I don't think we need to grow in numbers that badly. I'd rather keep it small and based on some values than have a lot of people.


I usually have to go through it and fix it anyway. It just saves a lot of manpage lookups and typing.


Well, if they were started and did not cooperate, they would have starved to death.

Which is exactly what happened to Mastodon. It's so censored and cross blocked that even Twitter has more freedom of speech. So no one uses it.


Mastodon is a completely lost case, I wouldn't waste time with it.

it was a fun experiment, but it's flawed at its core


Unless you have an edge, like super cheap electricity, it's always a good idea long term to just buy Bitcoin.

Mining is super competitive business with right margins and a lot more risk than just buying BTC. It's best left to the entrepreneurs who specialize in it because they have an advantage most people don't have.


I don't need it at all. It's just way faster. Do you remember how to format dates exactly? What is the name of EXIF parameters I need to set in image (vs in video, because they are different)?

I could have done it with manpages, but it would take me at least 3x as long.

Inak dostať sa k uspokojivému campervanu za rozumnú cenu je projekt cca na dva roky kľudne, čiže najvyšší čas začať riešiť.


Etalón fiatového dobra, banka, má pre domácich neviditeľnú scammeskú stratégiu. Doma poskytuje účty pre modrú planétu, financuje hudobné festivaly či robí školenia o scamoch. Stačí však keď k ich bankomatu príde niekto s kartou vydanou v inej mene a banka sa premení na hamižného scammera, takmer v ničom sa nelíšiaceho od tých, pred ktorými varuje v emailoch a webinároch.

Scam funguje nasledovne: Turista omámený krásou Bratislavy alebo Prahy si chce kúpiť suveníry. Vloží kartu do bankomatu a zvolí možnosť vybrať hotovosť. Banka mu po zadaní sumy povie, že rada poskytne službu výmeny domácej meny v ktorej má vedený účet (aj keď často netrafí tú správnu), pretože vaša banka, ktorá vás pozná a má s vami vzťah vám určite dá zlý kurz. Nikde nesvieti veľkým "pozor, sme podvodníci, za túto službu si zaúčtujeme 10% z vyberanej sumy, čo by vás toľko nestálo aj ak máte najhoršiu banku na planéte".

Za vami stojí rad ďalších turistov, chcete lokálny fiat, kliknete na zmenu, aby ste mali v ruke rýchlo cash. Keď sa vrátite z východnej Európy a pozriete sa na účet, už sa nejdete sťažovať naspäť, poviete si, jasné, Balkán style scamming. A poviete si, že tá Bratislava alebo Praha nebola až taká kúl, aj keď je na banke napísané, že je to Tatrabanka alebo Česká spořitelna, čo by mali byť civilizované inštitúcie vedené zo západnej Európy.

Asi im to za tých pár drobných stojí.

Na západe sú rôzne siete malých bankomatov, v potravinách a podchodoch. Tiež potrebujú zarábať na turistoch, tak tam proste napíšu, že výber stojí 5$. Oveľa lepšie ako zmiasť a ozbíjať.

Bitcoin fixes this.

No, the term is way older,  Wei Dai used it already in 1998.


When there is an opportunity for explanation, we can explain. Bitcoin is not a crypto appears to be a shortcut, but it's shortcut to "I am not talking to this person, who is obviously insane, even I know Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency".

Use full sentences, make your case.

The only problem that the term cryptocurrency was used at least since 1998 (Wei Dai's b-money paper). And people use crypto just as a short for cryptocurrency.

So the category was invented way before, it included the predecessors to Bitcoin and Bitcoin itself, way before other coins joined.

Your analogy is this completely wrong.


Not only for newbies. This is not a conversation about dialing down on expert language so the laymen would understand.

This is about semantics of words and basic set theory (something is a node in a set).

Talking in a language that newbies understand is not even it.

We once had a substitute teacher on math and she used the word "or", but she meant "and". Even though she would speak more expert language than us, she was simply wrong, she did not understand the meaning of the word.


is reasonable truth that Bitcoin is not a cryptocurrency?

self defense is not murder.

https://m.primal.net/JrSl.png


I'm not trying to coalesce the meaning. First - Meaning is created by how people understand words. You cannot create it, you can participate in it, but it's an emergent effect.

It's the same as how you can't centrally control economy. economy and language are emergent phenomena.

Second - being part of a category does not make everything equal. Water is a liquid, but that does not mean it's same as all other liquids, in fact, it's a very unique liquid, making life on this planet possible.


You are still talking about "Bitcoin not crypto", I did not post about this. The original post was about Bitcoin is not crypto, which I keep hearing (last time yesterday in local 21 group), that's why I'm writing about it.

if you mean Bitcoin not crypto, don't say Bitcoin is not crypto, that's all.


most people talking about crypto are referring also to Bitcoin, not only the nonsensical stuff.

That is what I'm talking about precisely.

Bitcoiners often exclude it, but that's not how most people understand the word.  If we go out of our bubble, people use words differently. If we actually want to warn them, we should use the words to communicate, not confuse. And inside the circle, people already know...


What about chip and contactless?

Even if the name is not transmitted, is it somehow revealed during the communication with the merchant? Either at processing or settlement time.


Again - words are defined by their use. There is no other meaning that what the speaker uses it for. Many words changed their meaning. When people say "crypto", they don't mean hidden, although I personally like that meaning, when you utter this word, that's not what people understand. It is usually followed by a question "you mean something like Bitcoin?".

That's the Schelling point aspect


termux and lynx there?


Another Schelling point example (AI is good at these actually).

https://image.nostr.build/adfda089b1728fa3ba126fb310d2604b6162655fb0ae97e719744501b1ea45d2.png

Crypto = Cryptocurrency.

That is what people mean when they use this word. They don't mean "only the shitty currencies except Bitcoin".

Words are a Schelling point and their meaning is emergent of how they are used. We might not like it, but trying to redefine how people use the words is useless.

Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency. Probably the best example of a cryptocurrency, in short crypto.

But yes - you can say "Bitcoin, not crypto (in general)" as in "I focus on Bitcoin, not the whole category, because I think other cryptocurrencies are horseshit". You should not say "Bitcoin is not crypto", because it is, it is what people mean by the word crypto (=cryptocurrencies) and Bitcoin is a perfect example of a cryptocurrency.


Correct: "Mona Lisa, not paintings (in general)". Incorrect: "Mona Lisa is not a painting".


To podcasters: please, stop with zoom calls for interviews. The sound quality is horrible. Use zencaster or something similar that records audio locally on every participants computer.


For the third time: I am not criticizing "Bitcoin, not crypto". I am criticizing "Bitcoin is not crypto".


"beach fishing, not ocean fishing" <- correct, meaning "I am doing one thing, not the general thing"

What I am criticising, if you read the post is:

"beach fishing IS not ocean fishing"

That is incorrect.


Yes, use one less word:

Bitcoin, not crypto

Correct - meaning "we are here for Bitcoin, not crypto, we are focusing on Bitcoin, on crypto".

Bitcoin is not crypto

Factually incorrect.


I don't disagree with how you use it in your article. I am saying "Bitcoin, not crypto", "Bitcoin, not blockchain" is correct. That's what you focus on.

The slight part that is wrong: "I am writing this in the hopes that some of you, dear fiat bros, will finally understand that bitcoin is not only different from all of
"crypto," but that it is different from all other currencies, your
beloved government-issued shitcoins included."

Bitcoin is crypto, but it is unique. With currencies, you said it correctly (different from all OTHER cryptocurrencies".

But otherwise, the article is good and that's not the use I've been referring to in the post. You simply state that we should focus on what is important and not all the shit noise around it. With that I mostly agree.

We need to use correct words and be factually correct. There is a way to have a good punchline, get the message without being factually incorrect (in this case - the facts are the Schelling point of the meaning of the words, see:

nostr:nevent1qywhwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnr09cxsetjwp6ku6eww3hkgcte9uqsuamnwvaz7tmwdaejumr0dshsz8thwden5te0dehhxarj9e3xjarrda5kuetj9eek7cmfv9kz7qgmwaehxw309ahx7um5wghx7unpdenk2urfd3kzuer9wchszxnhwden5te0dehhxarj9ecxcetzvd5xz6tw9ehhyee0qyd8wumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytn6v43x2er9v5hxxmr0w4jz7qgnwaehxw309ahkvenrdpskjm3wwp6kytcpzdmhxue69uhhqatjwpkx2urpvuhx2ue0qyd8wumn8ghj7urewfsk66ty9enxjct5dfskvtnrdakj7qgcwaehxw309aex2mrp0yhxxatjwfjkuapwveukjtcqypmay88z2e6d8umvlk29nc0rj03evgwrqudsmyhdww7ppwdjqt4lykmmnwh


People use the word "crypto" as a short way of saying cryptocurrency, it is a long word.

I am saying "Bitcoin not crypto" is OK - it is an opinion of what you want to focus on ("air not gas (in general)", "medicinal plants, not plants (in general)", "gold, not all metals"). Saying "Bitcoin is not crypto" is just wrong. There's a distinction and I have literally heard people saying the latter and meaning it at the same time!

The point with using words is that you are referring to a Schelling point that the word represents. In that, your perception is not important, it is what others agree on the word means.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Focal_point_(game_theory)

A good way to extract the Schelling point of meaning of words is AI, that is basically what the statistical model does (it does it on semantic vector embedding layer, so very early AI, pre-gpt was already good at it). This is one of the rare examples where you can actually use AI output as an argument, because it's a direct task that the AI's statistical model is trained on.

Also what is funny to me is that Bitcoin is the best example of a cryptocurrency. I don't think it's a good strategy to deny common knowledge, it will never change everyone's mind. A good analogy would be - when people talk about plant medicine, please understand that many plants will just kill you. Not every plant is good for you, even though it's natural. If you want to use a cryptocurrency, use the best one. What is the best one? Well, we have a thing for that, it's called a market, what do people agree on (Schelling point again)? Check the cryptocurrency market cap.

Much more useful than denying obvious reality of how people understand words.

https://m.primal.net/JrEz.png


Denying reality and saying something but meaning something else is a good mindfuck strategy, but the only thing it separates is the person saying it from the sane people who know meaning of the words they use.


I see it because they have to write it down and I send it to credit card processor.

The question is with which cards the name is actually checked against the card holder. I know in some cases it is and the payment is refused, in many cases, any string would work.


When someone says Bitcoin is not crypto, I know they are just parroting something they don't understand.

Bitcoin uses cryptography to create digital currency. It is a cryptocurrency. Saying it's not is like saying air is not gas. Yes, many types of gas are toxic and dangerous.

When people say Bitcoin not crypto as their focus, it's like saying that for example a conference is about air and not the general category of gas. But that does not mean air is not a gas.

Bitcoin not crypto means that whoever says is focusing on this particular one, most of them think that other representatives of this category are junk, but this should not mean denying reality. Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency. Pretty good one, maybe even the best one. But a cryptocurrency.


Yes, the question is a bit more complicated though. When I accept cards, I see a name, usually the one they write in the card owner input box on the web.

But consider SEPA - even if you only use IBANs, the name actually gets resolved during payment. So people who think they write John Doe in order form are actually not anonymous at all, because when the transaction is settled, I see their name.

The question then becomes - is there an API call or part of the settlement process that reveals the user name to the merchant? I don't care about card number, I consider it doxxed anyway.

Probably, the question is how to do it in a way that the team can keep working on it. sustainability is key here, otherwise it would result in a very underfunded project.

I'd rather have a separate service with its own token and a wrapped representation of bitcoin providing additional services like anonymous exchange and lending products than an underfunded L2.

Ultimately it's on the team and the users to agree on model (including financial model) that works for everyone. I don't think they are thinking about Bitcoin L2, although it's FOSS, so if someone invests energy into turning it to L2, they are free to do so.


Quick question about the payment surveillance networks. When I pay by credit and debit card, the issuer of course knows where I paid - in many cases even the location. But the question is - in the payment protocols (not only visa/mc, but apple pay, Google pay), is the name or other information communicated to the merchant? Either during the payment or later during settlement?

Of course when I pay online, the name of cardholder is usually a mandatory field, but what if I pay for parking for example in person, or a restaurant, ...


I don't know, probably possible. If it's smart, I don't know. The team that's been working on it full time for years has to be paid.

I don't even know if it's that great, I'm just telling you what they have right now.

I remember a story by the author of the original coin that became Monero. He said that Monero is proud to have a fair launch and he replied that fair launch is super easy when you take someone else's months of work, change the name of the coin, release schedule (probably one day worth of work) and post it on GitHub.

I'm not that strict with Bitcoin only and launches, I think open market for discovering what is fair and how to do these things is great. I think Ethereum was too much, but the market seems to be ok with it, it's very successful, people are actually paying fees and even holding, because they find it useful.


I personally did not see any moral contradictions, so I can't say if overlooking is worth it, because I don't have to overlook anything.

If you had trouble with his morality, forgiving is almost always a good idea.

Plus this has been recorded quite some time ago and I didn't even notice it was Breedlove to be honest, I don't know him that much, I played it because there was nostr:npub1klkk3vrzme455yh9rl2jshq7rc8dpegj3ndf82c3ks2sk40dxt7qulx3vt in it and because of the topic.


There probably will be a base token when they launch, but they've been focusing on building the primitives, not the token. The mainnet is not launched yet, but you can use the language, proofs and verifiers and of course all the infrastructure for developers. They have built for example anonymous voting infrastructure (AnonDAO).

It has nothing to do with Eth, Vlad is mistaken in this, they are not compatible with Eth, don't have a token on Eth nor use any infrastructure. They build it on utxo not account model.

I am not sure how successful it is going to be, but I'm glad that they are actually building some very interesting stuff that did not exist before at all, they did not do any kind of scam raising of money or anything.

Yes, we organize the program of HCPP together, which is probably the only cypherpunk/ cryptoanarchy conference left.

I am a co-founder of Paralelni Polis Prague and Bratislava, but few people know it actually has its roots in Progressbar in Bratislava.

BTW: His project does not have any monetary policy, they did not launch a token, now it is more of a zero knowledge compiler and infrastructure. Plus a lot of infrastructure for anonymous development and coordination. And they are behind the Lunarpunk philosophy which I perceive as the natural continuation of Cypherpunk.


We lived in the same city for a while (Bratislava). He was an author of an independent implementation of Bitcoin back then (libbitcoin). One day we met in the hackerspace (Progressbar) and he drew a giant tree with many branches and said "I am going to teach you everything there is to know about bitcoin". And we went down every branch. Opcodes, mining, P2P, ...

It was back at the time when Bitcoin was much simpler and it was really possible.

Amir is amazing.


very unlikely unless you are trying to pirate software.

it is not unthinkable to use a vulnerability of media players and hide trojans in video files, but they would be fixed very quickly if it's a public torrent, if they are zero days they are usually used in a more targeted matter in order to keep the value.

of course keeping your media players up to date is essential.


From the bird app by Amir Taaki:

"How to basically get any media (movie, series, anime) for free:

1. install qbittorrent
2. view -> search engine
3. click "Search plugins..." on newly appeared Search tab
4. click "Check for updates"
5. click Close
6. search whatever you want. Make sure you order by Seeders
7. BONUS: use "download in sequential order" (when downloading new, or from right click menu) to stream your movie and play it in VLC or MPV

cypherpunks don't use 'streaming services', they use torrents."

is it in nutshell or some other mint?

I've tried looking, admittedly briefly.


Does anyone know how the stablesats (usd denominated) Cashu mints stabilize the value? Do they hedge on a centralized exchange? Is there a public code for these stable mints, can we run them or is the code proprietary for folks like Boardwalkcash and umint?

I know how it *can* work, I am interested in specific real-world implementations today and if I can run such a mint myself.

Run a relay where it's allowed?


Yes, link sharing would not be great, but I want to basically just link it from an nostr:npub1pr4du5xl28dy5sh4msz9uddnwxgzupkk4qzjzklv84edc6ruevzqlxmkzp site, for this page I don't care about SEO.

I'll try it out, I was afraid of mime types


That only works if your there is a stablecoin that is the same denomination in your company's accounting currency.


no, you can't. at least not legally without tax in most countries.

if you don't want to pay tax, there needs to be no capital gain, so the exchange rate has to be the same. you have to buy and use all the monero for payment, holding zero at any moment.


It's it possible to host a static website with html, JavaScript and images through blossom?

Good blossom servers and possibly tooling for updates? I guess I need to edit the html to point to files by hashes.


Relax, the world is not black and white,.

Yes, I do know of this problem and it's real. nostr:nprofile1qy88wumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmv9uq3kamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wdaexzmn8v4cxjmrv9ejx2a30qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyv9kh2uewd9hj7qg3waehxw309ahx7um5wgh8w6twv5hsz8rhwden5te0dehhxarj95cjumnzduhxzmn8v9hxjtnrduhsz8rhwden5te0dehhxarjv9n8y6trvyh8qcmyddjzuenedyhsz9nhwden5te0dehhxarj9e5kummnw3sjucmr9uq3gamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wd4skgmewd9hj7qgcwaehxw309ashgtnwdaehgunhdaexkuewvdhk6tcpz4mhxue69uhkummnw3e8xct5wesjumn9wshsqgzu4kpv3x8wvcqnwyv5t4587lv4f8mytgq3s3na4ch4uf6vtxxklunvhgqx  speaks about it a lot for example, helping people in Africa get onboarded. On-chain fees are a real problem and we should not price out some people just because we think everything should be solved only in one way.

Bitcoin is about open mind, expanding options, competition of ideas, not about some predetermined unshakeable ideology.

Hal Finney understood and wrote about this in 2010, as did Nick Szabo. https://rextar4444.medium.com/hal-finneys-theory-of-bitcoin-backed-banks-6b6484880c14

We will use plenty of technologies and let people choose their price sensitivity and need for privacy, security and censorship resistance.


I am not a btc maxi.

I told you that you can choose when it's useful, some people want to participate in lightning but the fees will price them out.

Also - which FEDs? The signers are geographically distributed.

It is a tool that can be used in some situations. This bitcoin-shitcoin thing was cool three years ago, now we talk about real world solutions to real problems.


it happened with Facebook. It has become so bad that people who were addicted to it don't even notice they forgot to install the Facebook app on the new phone and when they login because their friends tell them they messaged them through it, they find hundreds of unread messages.


neither imho. not very cool, but also not cringe


I think so. Drop me a DM, I'll look into it when I get to a computer.


Also, there's not one "we". Someone wanting to dollar cost average 3$ per month to escape extreme poverty has a very different opinion on what is a corporate shitcoin and what is useful to them.


WBTC is one entity, Liquid is a contractual consensus of financially unrelated entities who would need to block you by majority. Also, lightning payments backed by Liquid channels don't go on chain, so they don't have much say about payments (this is very different to for example wallet of Satoshi, they can do lightning payment level censorship, Liquid not so much).

Also, since it's one Lightning network, you can get out through independently operated bridge, not through their multisig.

Yes, it's not Bitcoin mainnet, but it has pretty good balance of fees vs privacy vs distribution of decisions for many smaller channels that would otherwise not be possible.


no, swap fiat to monero, just to not have to use banks for payments.

selling bitcoin would be a tax event. buying something else and then immediately using it all to pay an invoice is tax zero.

so you can both save Bitcoin as a company and use advanced third millennium payment technologies (i.e. Not legacy camping system)


I don't like the other way, because there we have problem with discovery of cool people.

That's something I'm trying to tackle, especially in situations when you can't use your real world social network (like an anonymous project).


Cool, I did not know that. I mean more "trading scammers" in my inbox than imposters, but I did not report them, only muted.


Depends on the country, but in Slovakia, if the unit is the same, then it's not selling, just changing form. That is one of the best use-cases for Monero in entrepreneurship.

Say you want to have a Bitcoin reserve in a company, but also want to pay suppliers with some crypto. Sale is a taxable event that goes to weighted average and triggers capital gains. So actually buying Monero and spending it at the same moment is a tax free event (buy and sale price are the same, minus the fees), but doing it with anything Bitcoin (does not matter if Cashu/fedi/lightning) would be taxable event. Of course you can also use stablecoins.


Probably they feel like rebels


Idea: Crowdsourcing muting of scammy/spammy users. Muting is a public event, so if some scambot writes me, I can mute them. But if I mute someone, my close friends probably want to mute them too.

Sort of "mutesync" would make our lives much nicer here.

Of course, I would carefully choose people whose mutes I follow, because some people are just drama queens and mute is their final act.

I tried, but this does not look good, it's the image, it is cut very weirdly.


Yes. A distributed custodian at least, which is very unique (basically I know of only Fedi attempting to do it this way, and Cashu doing multimint payments, so distributing the risk by amounts).

And it's chain level compatible with Lightning and can be one network.

You could even bridge your coins to channel backed by mainnet Bitcoin, or pay from both channels atomically.

Or do things like "bump this mainnet channel when fees are low, but in the meanwhile accept through Liquid".


Great note. The grouping (with right incentives) that we can do right now is to open some channels on Liquid and bridge the payments. It's one network. The peg ins are essentially the grouped UTXOs.

Here's how to do it:

Mostly thanks to menonites, who are ultimate agricultural entrepreneurs.

They don't let anything stop them. In Bolivia they did not want to lose 20 minutes going around some area to cross the river, so they built a bridge. And not some wooden bridge, concrete bridge for cars and machinery. They did not ask anyone, they just did it.

Not really.

There are many really good hackers with a Mac and I even know a few that run (and hack) Windows.

Ubuntu is good, you need wide tooling for hacking.

Also, we don't use "cyber security expert", no one who is one would use this phrase to describe themselves, ever :).

If their business card says "cyber security expert", the only answer to that is "good for you, bye" :)


Optimistic = it will not remain widely adopted.

yes.

thankfully we can ride the waves


I only meant it for global feed to be usable. If you go to the global feed of that relay, no statists nor spam should be there.

Of course the way Nostr is designed the notes will be rebroadcasted by clients, etc


No, but relays where statists are banned or discovery mechanism for non-statists I would appreciate. Or maybe badge-rating mechanism.

You can't ban people, that's not how Nostr works. Mastodon works that way though, through the power of network effect of the servers, it was (last time I checked) very socialist-leaning. Thankfully something like that is not possible on Nostr - your identity is not tied to any particular relay, so if someone bans a relay, your identity can be (and usually still is) multi-relay.


unpopular opinion - most apps are cool when there are fewer people there. mass adoption adds noise.

it was the same with email lists, Usenet, irc, silc, first web based social networks, big social.

I enjoy the moments when Nostr is still small and irrelevant. We can build and enjoy.

S veľa ľuďmi nesúhlasím. Ale haluz je toto - s anarchistami si pohundreme, dohodneme sa, že sa nedohodneme a život ide ďalej. Ale pri etatistoch je to úplný pain - vidím, že nemajú páru o čom točia, prečítali si nejaký článok nejakého vymletého novinára, čo netuší, o čom točí, videli tri youtube videjká a aj kamarát v kaviarni pri latéčku povedal, že to tak je. Ak je to náhodou téma, ktorej rozumiem, tak viem, že je mimo, svet je zložitejší. Zhodneme sa, že sa nezhodneme. Ja možno urobím nejaký trejdík na predikčných trhoch alebo si kúpim viac BTC, lebo na skoro každý problém sveta je najracionálnejšia reakcia kúpiť viac BTC.

A on už rozmýšľa, koho ukecá, aby sa svet zmenil podľa neho, teda aby zakázal racionálne správanie v situácii, ktorú poznám a regulátorom aplikoval na mňa násilím utopickú halucináciu z toho článku toho novinára. Hádajte, či novinár má skin in the game? Presne tak - je platený od normostrany. Super KPI.

A preto ma etatisti serú a hundrem na nich. Nie len preto, ale hlavne preto.

Super interesting episode. I'm from Czechoslovakia, I of course knew about Frantisek Fuka back then, but this is a new perspective.

https://fountain.fm/episode/gHm6Zcd2cJDKS76Mpe4T


of course, I am promoting nostr:npub1mftv2j67vayavkks8rqev3u8jjhefe86tf80msstfxvpunk9vmps6prkl3 heavily and there are other good platforms as well. But that does not remove the problem completely. Say you sold something illegal and dangerous, like unpasteurized milk. The counterparty of the sale was selling heroin. The cops caught him and they want to trace the coins. He does not know your name, but tells them where you met. You wore a mask, right? unfortunately the CCTV recording leads them to your car which you entered after the trade.

It's overblown story, but I'm saying this - don't be fooled that if you don't show your ID, you have privacy. Real privacy is extremely hard. Were you carrying a phone in your pocket? Did you take Uber? Bought a coffee around a corner and paid with card?

Right now this is hard and you have to be a target, but this is getting automated and soon it will be all automatic.


People get easily fooled by AI models showing empathy and emotion. They are trained to react like humans who can feel these emotions and have empathy.

Learning to deal with this and recognizing it from the real thing actually teaches us to deal with psychopaths. They also don't have empathy but many of them have mastered pretending they do.


Wow.

I can't make it but I'm very interested how is Bitcoin in Thailand. Acceptance, community, ... Seems the are quite a few nostriches from Thailand here.

Maybe we should make a documentary. This might be interesting.


I think he understands that. He was just saying that this is a Bitcoin conference, which should reflect Bitcoin values and ideas. And that is not "regulate us harder daddy, we want NgU".

Bitcoin is inherently anti-hierarchy and anti-central banking and that is clear since the beginning.

Of course politicians want to collect points and not everyone who uses Bitcoin will agree. We can't stop them and don't want to stop them.

But we don't also need to listen to them at a Bitcoin conference, let them talk about it at some statist cocktail party or wherever these people meet.

you can't influence which communist will be in power. that's delusional, and I'm not saying it because I would like to mock you. even if you have 100 followers and you convince 1% of them, it won't change the outcome.

you can influence what you do. learn the cypherpunk strategy, it works.

Since I am running my own relay, I want to back up my notes to it. Is there a command line tool that I can run from Cron, I give it an npub, source and destination relay and it would synchronize all posts from one to the other?


True to some extent, but nuance will change the picture to some extent:

- you can't scale the production continuously in industry. You can allow other productive use by building a power plant. Bitcoin is the buyer of first resort in this case, allowing other production that would not otherwise happen.

- combined with energy futures, it's the best regulator, allowing the energy to be cheaper. Overproduce base load that will be consumed by miners, but incentivize them with futures to turn off the machines. It's cheaper than producing expensive peak load. This lowers the prices for productive use.

Energy is complicated.

Waiting for politicians to solve your problems is a fantasy. Life happens here and now.

That's the Cypherpunk strategy


we don't need regulations.


both are politicians, not interesting to bitcoiners if you got what nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a just said.

Bitcoin does not need miners in America, nor expansion of energy production. It's the other way around - miners find good energy opportunities around the world.


Bitcoin doesn't need governments to win. It doesn't need governments to stack it. It doesn't need to ask for help.

Instead, the bar is much lower. Bitcoiners, in their preferred jurisdiction, would benefit by not being hassled by their government. They'd like to be able to buy it without problems. They'd like to be able to pay for energy and equipment and mine it in peace. They'd like be able to write open source code without facing legal problems. They'd like to be able to operate reputable businesses related to it. If they can't, then some of them will move as necessary.

It's helpful for the ecosystem to have non-hostile jurisdictions in the world. And for those that can't move without great sacrifice (i.e. most people), it's helpful for them that whatever jurisdiction they are in, is non-hostile.

So it's good that bitcoin is getting into the Overton window. The industry has some power now. Bitcoin benefits from builders and educators and advocates. It benefits from those who do their best to prevent the worst legislative outcomes against self-custody, against privacy, against running a business, against mining, etc.

But Bitcoin doesn't need to pander to them to proactively support us, and bitcoiners should recognize the sliminess of politician incentives when they come to pander to us. While it's in their best interest to build national reserves if they actually figure this thing out, we don't need them to build reserves.

I think that's the helpful line. That's where the signal is. To the extent that we minimize how much we are tread on, and build multi-national accepting footholds to pivot around, we gradually build what we want to exist.

We ask to be treated fairly, we use our resources to help ensure that we are, and to the extent that we are not then we adjust as necessary.

Fiatoví hudroši vyčítajú Bitcoinu volatilitu. Ale stabilita voči fiatu by z neho urobila shitcoin.

Problém nie je volatilita, ale chudoba. Áno, ak niekto zarába 1000€, z toho 854.90€ idú na hypotéku, energie, tresku a rožky a úspory má človek vo výške nula, pád hodnoty z 1000€ na 500€ nie je príjemný. Ak má niekto v tejto situácii pol Bitcoinu, je to iné.

Preto kritika volatility Bitcoinu sa týka najmä chudobných. A zároveň problém chudoby je to, čo BTC rieši.

Bitcoin je teda odpoveďou na problém chudoby, problém volatility mizne ako pribúdajú Satoshi v peňaženke.

The problem is also the other side of the transaction. Which he talked about too.

My friend is one of the best hackers in the world and he does not share his PGP key. I asked him why she he said he does not trust that people who communicate with him can protect their endpoints. Having a false sense of privacy then makes things worse.

I don't agree, but I can see what he's talking about. You can be doxxed by the people you transact with.


Moja banka mi poslala nové platobné karty kuriérom do európskej socialistickej únie. Kus plastu s magnetickým pásikom a čipom. Celková cena asi 20 socialistických eurocentov. Jasné, že to ide cez colníkov, ktorí to budú skúmať mikroskopom, vyhodnocovať či to nie je z trilobitích sŕdc a potom ma skásnu za túto skvelú službu 50 eurofiatónov.

Keď som kamarátovi z civilizácie za oceánom vysvetľoval, že toto sa fakt deje, mal som pocit ako keby som mu rozprával nejaké dystopické sci-fi a tak trochu som predpokladal, že tomu nemôže veriť, že mu je jasné, že si robím z neho srandu.

Nerobím, tak si aspoň zahundrem.


One of the reasons I liked building on Nostr was that I did not have to run any infrastructure.

Korasonka (corasonka):

"Hudba" z latinskej Ameriky, pri ktorej máš pocit, že spevák precitene umiera, buď od smútku alebo od extáze (oboje znie presne rovnako), pričom problém je vždy srdcovocievneho charakteru (mi corason a.k.a. moje srdce). Tento verš je spievaný ešte útrpnejšie, o pol tona vyššie a je to úplný vrchol daného diela, vtedy najneskôr by si chcel, aby to skončilo, ale rýchlo zistíš, že to bol iba začiatok a srdcovocievny systém si zaslúži ešte niekoľko opakovaní. Keď to skončí a dúfaš, že ďalšia téma bude napríklad o pohybovom aparáte alebo nervovej sústave, zistíš, že treba ešte niekoľko pesničiek venovať srdcovocievnemu systému. Väčšinou kým skončí jazda uberom, vyjdeš z obchodu alebo zješ obed, ale nie vždy máš to šťastie a niekedy ťa to prenasleduje hodiny.

Ale stále lepšie ako daň z príjmu.


Details please! :)


It's actually good it does not use the key used for posting, but it would be cool if we could publish a signed note that ties the normal npub to the keychat identity for discovery. If I added someone to Nostr, having an option to write to them without exchanging some contact information would be good.

They can write me Nostr DM anyway.

But then this could also work for SimpleX and others, essentially rebuilding the identity part of keybase, which was quite a good idea. No need of web of trust if you already got a social reputation - a website, GitHub account, PGP key, Twitter account, ...

Nostr could be the thing that ties it up and does not rely on Keybase corporation which was acquired by Zoom and more or less stopped working on the project.


I published one of those I think! Just for fun. I also published a think tank looking "policy paper" :)


don't get bitten by central bankers


I've been doing the same for over 20 years now, I had an ezine before blogs were a thing. I always found this approach of headlines for the algorithm silly.

The recipe for me is - deliver huge value, if people don't know about it, their loss. If someone finds it valuable, the cheapest way to deliver some value to their friends is to share it with them.

I don't have many listeners or readers, certainly don't write bestsellers, but the satisfaction from the relationship with my audience is something I would never swap for a bunch of normies wanting to know what pumps next week.


In some Nostr posts from a while ago, I vented about how I hate YouTube's algorithm and how it incentivizes people to make sensationalist headlines and images.

Like, I'll do a serious macroeconomic interview with a great and well-informed host, and then when it gets published I see that the headline image is like a picture of the dollar exploding with me smiling next to it, along with a sensationalist text description, for the algo.

I hate that.

So I'm going to aggressively shill an example of the opposite. Someone doing it right. I did an interview the other day with an institutional investor and bitcoiner, who doesn't do that. He has normal headlines, and normal pictures, to talk about serious things. Robert Dewey.

Bob has basically gone out there and told YouTube's algorithm to fuck off. He has a small subscriber base, despite being a more informed interviewer than most, as a gray-hair institutional investor who also gets bitcoin at a really deep level. I've met him in person, and he's great.

So my shill for today is, go check out Bob's channel, and consider giving this interview or any of his other interviews a thumbs up.  Let's be conscious regarding shitty algorithms, and highlight things that push back on them.

We are the fucking algorithm.

over from the bird app via DrNicka:

"I did some digging into this.

It’s real, the EU have put out tenders for people to develop asset register platforms and they do want to force everyone to register all of their valuables in the name of catching money launderers.

Even the CCP haven’t gone to this level of financial surveillance. And I suspect the trend of the EU becoming more like the CCP will continue.

But, I don’t think it has a chance of becoming policy.

Why?

Not because of any kind of democratic process or anything, but because it’s completely unenforceable.

They’d need Hans Landa style raids and shakedowns to check that what people are putting on there is accurate. It simply wouldn’t work, compliance is impossible.

Do they want to do it though? Absolutely.

So it will creep in through different vectors. Any vendor selling anything above a threshold value will have to doxx the purchaser (or else). Any trade above peanuts size will go into EU level transparency databases. Cash will die.

Crypto is a threat to this extreme surveillance of course, which is why they’re trying to turn every crypto thing into a “VASP” that has to doxx and record everyone’s activity.

The very obvious direction of the EU is centralised ultra surveillance and paternalistic regulations for basically everything. Digital IDs pointing to aggregated centralised data sets and CBDCs are the very real and near target. They’d roll it out today if they thought it was feasible. They’ve been working on the tech for years.

Will it stop money laundering?

lol, obviously not."

yes, I like this feature as well.


Cool, thank you, that makes sense.

Three more questions if you want to answer
 - can I use my own relay?
 - how would you compare keychat to SimpleX and Signal? When would you use which?
 - groups support?

I'm going to set it up, play with it and update:

https://juraj.bednar.io/en/blog-en/2022/05/03/encrypted-messengers-comparison/


Of course. Recalculation is the job of think tanks. These journo analysts don't know how to use Excel. And they are paid by word, so they optimize for cheapest cost per word.


Well, if you have edge, you don't write about it. So only not so interesting stuff is written about, the really interesting stuff is traded.

That's why I like market prices (including prediction markets) more than journalists. I once wanted to bet 100$ with a financial journalist ("analyst") so he has more skin in the game in his "prediction". He did not want to do it - he earns a salary as a journalist regardless of whether the stories he invents in his head are true or not. The real category of financial journalism is "entertainment".

(Here's a chapter from my book about prediction markets: https://juraj.bednar.io/en/blog-en/2021/06/23/prediction-markets-crowdsourcing-information-for-good-decisions/ )


Very cool. Do you know how identities are protected if it uses Nostr keys as an identity? Are the Nostr keys randomized?

Is there a way to write to an npub? I notice that your identity does not look like npub.


Na Lunarpunk festivale vám poviem ako sme urobili web festivalu bez toho, aby sme niekde museli uvádzať čo i len e-mail adresu, ako fungujú anonymné mikro blogy, ako mať AI backend doma na stole a prepojiť ho s front-endom cez notebook. Ako fungujú Nostr podcasting appky, prečo taká "blbosť" ako Nostr má celkom kúl využitie. Prednáška vhodná najmä pre technických ľudí, ak aj nevedia detailne ako Nostr funguje, ale dáme aj netechnické intro.

Sharing code with my latest experiment - a Nostr based (but does not force users to use Nostr clients, works over web) anonymous microblog. Have a community that would like to create a persona that would want to share something, but anonymity is good? You can do it now on Nostr.

nsec is derived from the password you just tell people (using salted PBKDF2). No one has any extra privileges, because everyone has the nsec. You relinquish control of the network identity and let it form by everyone telling the password to right people. This is a continuation of an older project, but now fully nostr-capable, so there's not even a webmaster!

Heuristics are bias by definition. We have to be somehow biased in order to operate in this world. It's good to stochastically not apply our own heuristic sometimes though.

I do it the opposite way though. I look for positive heuristics (does this person want more liberty?) and then I interact with them. Other people are not ready, or not likely to be ready.

The #Accrescent security and privacy focused Android app store is now available in the #GrapheneOS app store.

Accrescent is a mobile security and privacy project that closely ties to our values. We hope the Accrescent project can benefit from having more users.

Accrescent features:
- App signing key pinning: first-time app installs are verified so you don't have to TOFU.

- Signed repository metadata: repository contents are protected against malicious tampering.

-Automatic, unattended, unprivileged updates (Android 12+): updates are handled seamlessly without relying on privileged OS integration.

- Designed for split APKs: downloaded APKs are optimized for your device to save bandwidth.

- No remote APK signing: developers are in full control of their app signing keys.

- No account required: users don't need an account to install apps, improving privacy.

Continue is pretty cool. I can ask coding questions (I use Gemma for chat), it has code completion (does not work for me with deepseek-coder-v2 nor codegemma, but starcoder-v2 works). It can refactor code and has simple RAG with "@codebase" reference, as seen on the screenshot.

All is local on my laptop, no data is sent to third parties, running ollama.
