You analyzed it correctly. Makes every npub a censorship-resistant dns so you can own a piece of the internet.
Where nostr is 6 nodes #pubky is 6 million.
The two systems can work together but pubky is working now. Nostr could integrate it. It might take a day, it might take a year, but it wont take 10 years.
Users get 10x or 100x more options. So some are adopting early.
IT WORKS WITH NPUB!!

Took me ages to find this. But worth watching 1 minute of this. I set the time stamp.

Decentralized dns is working with #pubky and nslookup. HUGE!
Decentralized DNS means no more takedowns, no gatekeepers, and your data is stored across a resilient, battle-tested, massive network of nodes

What can you do that is more effective than voting? Easy. Find a small project on github that you like. And add a star to it. Most developers do not get any payment whatsoever for their work. A simple star can make all the difference between having a good life, or being motivated to help others. Especically on the smaller projects, I guarantee it will be noticed. And it will have a much bigger impact than voting harder on your designated election day.

Other side of the coin is that if you vote for one or the other (both are deep state) they feel they have a mandate. They also know how the game is rigged, they know the lies they tell, and what they see is turkeys voting for thanksgiving.

I would not pay too much attention to these charts. Consider the inflow/outflow and coins on the exchange, plus the Greyscale sales. Extrapolate back to the start of the ETF, and compare with mined coins. Then look at the delta of coins on exchanges, and extrapolate those flows. It's a fairly regular pattern barring mass liquidations. I guess we get 1-2 liquidation dates per year. ETFs are going to drive it steadily up. I guess the only MAJOR risk is a chain split via a contentious fork. I hope that does not happen before 2026.
I know what you mean. I dont often do this either. But I do happen to have the best track record in the history of bitcoin, and other things outside bitcoin, I won the biggest and most famous prediction competition in europe. Generally I lean towards your stance. But if you have a sound methodology, you can buck the trend. This is simply supply and demand trends. Nothing magical going on.
You are conflating random outcomes with games of skill. There's no place you can go from that starting point. FWIW bayesian analysis is what you want to use here.
Adoption is correlated to supply demand dynamics, but folks normally misguess the impact. For example lightning is everywhere but only actually 5000 btc. Capital is more important.
Prohibition is likely to happen on alt coins, these things dont happen fast and are given with lots of notice. There could be prohibition in the next 14 months, but that would be an unexpected game-changing event. More likely is a liquidation. Or something like a contentious fork that could split the chain. Then all bets are off.
However supply/demand with a business-as-usual next year, should see it trend to 100k+.
Ecash is better than the status quo. But it can be over hyped. In a small set its possible to match ip addresses to users. I think a mints over tor would help alot here.
This is impressive work. Now, if you put your decentralized censorship resistant domain name in your NIP-05, you might just win the internet!

Webfinger was by far the weakest part in the stack. So many mistakes like spinning up a new URI scheme, inventing a new JSON format, and moving away from its original use case.
FWIW the inventor of unhosted/remotestorage, now works on Solid. I remember going to the first unhosted meetups over 10 years ago, and still know one of the team. But after a decade it's yet to take off in a major way, and newer solutions have come along.

Yes, indeed. Pear should be a simple integration after #pubky. It almost drops out for free. Question is who will be first to innovate. Relays I think have evolved towards the email type model. I strongly believe that relays are still better than the status quo, but we are heavily reliant on damus, and the relay network is centralized. If you remember a few lawyers once went after bittorrent and sent lots of shutdown and litigation letters. Nostr would not survive such a wave. But bittorrent did survive it, and so its censorship resistance is proven and powers pubky. Once we have that then we could have pear, pretty much for free, but I think there's alot of pear skeptics. To give you an idea I integrated pubky into my software in about 2 hours this weekend, it's an easy task. The technical barrier is small, the psychological barrier is large.
You made me realize something incredible. Nostr's value proposition is that many clients can be built using the same rules. Leading to a diversity of clients doing different things. And so many different developers are funded to give different features. But actually not one client is innovating here, they are all innovating in a centralized way according to a centralized group-think. Something has gone wrong. But this is also an opportunity. Tweak the funding model to get back to innovation.
Agree, better than the status quo. However the devil is in the detail and there are nuances. If you want to maximize impact and do the most good for the most people, choosing where to invest your time and energy is critical. And it is a moving target. That is why scrutiny is so important. Having observed 1000+ projects over more than a decade 90% do not make it. You cant always predict which ones will, but you can see the ones that give themselves a good chance, and you normally have to get most things right. Worst thing for a dev is to invest time in a project that doesnt make it. But, especially with AI coming, we are on the brink of something big.
Yes, about right. Nostr was in fact one of those destined for the scrap heap. Even its creator had moved on to other things. You have no idea the work and team effort it took to get it to where it was noticed by jack. After that it was relatively easy. But still to level up nostr is at this point going to take enormous work, and luck.
Whoever wins between #nostr and #pubky, I can’t lose since I’ve got both. The nsecs are the same in each systems. It’s like having both an Android and an iPhone; either way, I get the best of both worlds. But then it hit me – we just recreated walled gardens all over again. Why can’t these systems work together seamlessly? How did we end up back here, building fences instead of bridges?
Hyperlinks are universial. The U in URL stands for universal really. But it is also uniform. Everyone uses it the same way. Which is why the web won. Nostr is an http upgrade protocol so it inherits some of that from the parent protocol. Network effect still play a role.
You're defeating your own argument here. Your thesis that bittorrent mainline is censorship-resistant because it verifiably has millions of nodes and 15 year track record, and something smaller is untested and experimental.
Git also has 15 years track record and millions running the software. Something new is untested and experimental.
As you keep pointing out we'll never get a chance to bootstrap such networks again.
Bitcoin is definitely more trust worthy than ICANN. There's no rent seeking with bitcoin, it just operates as a time-chain to operate as a tie-breaker if two people want the same name. And you can also make a fun trading game. There's no rent seeking because it's not renewed every year, bitcoin is property rights.
Global naming system creates a standard reference point. It's useful for some things, and less useful for others. If it were not useful, everyone would let their domain names expire. But they dont, so people see value in it.
I did orginally say it was for free, but nuh corrected me. Yes there is a tiny 1kb storage cost which I estimated to be 1/1,000,000 of a satoshi or a "microsat". For 1 satoshi we could get everyone on nostr a domain :)
It almost became the number of time:
"the adoption of the mathematically simplest, and most Christian, implementation of the 33-year cycle would logically specify the existence of a meridian or narrow band of longitudes within which, and only within which, the Nicene edict could stay correct. This would probably have come to be seen as God's chosen meridian by all Churches that recognised the Nicene council."

Absolutely. John Dee was the person that invented the term "British Empire". He was not only the greatest mathematician of his day, he was the greatest linguist and the greatest scienitest and alchemist. His theories, especially on conic sections, optics and geometry were centuries ahead of his time. He co-founded Trinity College Cambridge, where Newton was professor. He had the biggest library in europe, and the influenced the wizard archetype. It's possible he advised Queen Elizabeth to purchase New Amsterdam from the dutch and make it New York. With that line being the stable equinox. 8 leap years in 33 is vastly more accurate than what we have today. Humans will often celebrate annivesaries on the wrong day and not notice. But crabs would notice. His work the Monas is one of the most powerful books written. He also unified religoin and science with his work on communicating with the angels, Enochian. He did change alot, and people like him come around every few centuries. He was kind of the Satoshi of his day.
