This boy SAVED the INTERNET… but couldn't save himself.

10 years ago, he was persecuted by his government, and ultimately paid with his life.

Aaron Swartz is a modern hero that most people DO NOT KNOW.

But they should.

https://image.nostr.build/a5163a2d322330e5853e14ddf87d1613eecbdff0e23451d9f3059d3c1e0cd723.jpg

Aaron was creative, focused, and brilliant.

At 14, he invented RSS; He dropped out of Stanford; At 19, he was in the first Y Combinator class; He co-founded Reddit.

Most likely, if he were alive today, he would be involved with #Bitcoin.

But that’s not EVEN 1% of what he did for us 🙏

Let’s take a look 👇

https://image.nostr.build/37c7dd4a0ddbad0ae5a98babc66adc4916cc4a03b13d63d0fced0e6c3e0541fd.jpg

From a young age, Aaron believed in an OPEN INTERNET. In computers as a tool for LIBERATION.

"But wait, wasn’t the internet always open?"

No.

Believe it or not, there was a time when they wanted you to REGISTER your ID before you could browse or send an email.

https://image.nostr.build/77deabc6b94e160f43a3dd1522c5dac30061ac5423e6b2e3df10162a25e8e612.png

He believed that PUBLIC LEGAL RECORDS and SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH should be accessible to everyone.

But in the U.S.,

• 98% of scientific articles are behind paywalls; and
• ~80% of legal records are too.

Imagine being sued and still having to pay to view the documents?

https://video.nostr.build/2af872c7a7d1b74ce0fb8d42369a87df45a7ee2d23df006d287b58ac60fcfe26.mp4

Aaron's war had 3 major battles.

The first was against PACER.

A legal records database.

PACER is PAID... but it was "free" in 17 public libraries.

With friends, Aaron wrote a script on a USB drive, plugged it into a USB port, downloaded 2.7 million documents... and SET THEM FREE.

https://video.nostr.build/21b565dd1742bc950748be2ac0e0ce2868f4b94c54d1da9321a198c49fe85d1e.mp4

No charges were made against the group.

But the FBI began to take notice.

That had only been the beginning. That boy would still challenge the system.

The following year, Aaron would enter the biggest fight of his life — and the greatest battle in internet history against censorship ✊

https://image.nostr.build/ab43c6a3d189953bfee2fdc26760e819bc9e637dce97d0c8362a36192487b0aa.png

"SOPA/PIPA" 👉 if you're over 20, you probably still remember these acronyms.

A bill to "combat piracy"... which was just an excuse for the government to shut down ANY SITE, without warning.

Some companies loved the idea.

But those who loved the internet fought back.

https://image.nostr.build/605d066f5a7cc73cf8efe620725ac19f3fa9e85b760acd9e66b6f637b6837681.jpg

And then, something wonderful happened.

We still knew how to fight against online censorship.

In a coordinated response, the biggest websites on the internet "went on STRIKE."

Wikipedia and Reddit went offline. Google turned black.

Protests also erupted in the STREETS.

But...

https://image.nostr.build/605d066f5a7cc73cf8efe620725ac19f3fa9e85b760acd9e66b6f637b6837681.jpg

... but people have short memories.

This battle was won.

However, the NEXT one would be the LAST for young Aaron.

This MIT security camera was the final straw that ruined his life 👇📹

https://image.nostr.build/e48beb62bce1cdc7554d8e602786a29969a687202f7c7e6971f9f203de3160e6.png

JSTOR was Swartz's final target: the largest database of academic papers in the world.

Aaron wrote a script to download MILLIONS of papers, over the course of months, using his MIT access, in a small room.

MIT has a rebellious culture.

But the FBI could no longer tolerate the boy's defiance.

https://image.nostr.build/0f98f712709cacd788a841186630069f9b8877bbea34374f83c529e0b29d1385.jpg

With the video evidence, the U.S. prosecution charged Aaron with 13 crimes. Up to 50 years in prison.

In January 2011, he was arrested by undercover agents near the Harvard campus.

From then on, he was legally tortured.

Two years later, he would be found dead at home.

https://image.nostr.build/0e6b2b6d4ac93cc031267d6a3ae4fdd1afbaf7154c3d1b28db144e703325eff3.png

"Aaron would be 38 years old today.

He was accused of 'pirating' scientific papers funded with public money.

Facing up to 50 years in prison, he took his own life.

Those he inspired continue to democratize access to science.

Let us remember him."

*These are the words of Susan, his mother.

https://image.nostr.build/cb82dfbd1b0675e53a6a24ba2b6c6c50be08b60dc315f9a3cfbf3de4ded0a191.jpg

After his death, the charges were dropped by the government.

Aaron never considered entering a 'plea deal'. He would have faced millions of dollars in legal costs.

The father of the internet, Tim Berners-Lee, published a short poem at the time that says it all:

“The world was a little worse for his passing,
But a lot better for his being.”

https://image.nostr.build/110bd2ce6b535252ecff250b6609cc6f301b906f6681c2459d375c09af2a9548.png

Aaron wasn’t a unanimous figure. You may disagree with his methods.

But he was faithful to his ideal.

He was genuine. Firm in what he believed.

He was a person who used his prodigious skills not to enrich himself, but to make the internet fairer, and the world a better place.

https://image.nostr.build/570b43a6887dfa430be76e33a416c7bbc65d05e9acf0404ae46ad1a522bf9abc.jpg

Aaron had worked with Virgil Griffith (former Ethereum, now imprisoned for "teaching about crypto" to North Koreans).

He knew Elizabeth Stark (from Lightning).

He was friends with Zooko.

And he wrote about #Bitcoin — on the DAY he was arrested (1/6/11)! 😢

Curious? To learn more about the story, start with this documentary (on YouTube) 👇

[https://youtu.be/9vz06QO3UkQ](https://youtu.be/9vz06QO3UkQ)

We’ll finish with an excerpt from the "Manifesto for Free Access," by Aaron himself:

"Information is power. But, like all power, there are those who want to keep it for themselves. There is no justice in following unjust laws. It’s time to come to the light, and, in the tradition of civil disobedience, declare our opposition to the private theft of public culture.

We must take information, wherever it is, make our copies, and share them with the world."

RIP, Aaron ✊

Do not turn to your thoughts, but to your feelings and go where they lead you. And wherever they lead you, remember only one thing: Remember to embrace your power. The power of love is the cause and effect that will change the world by making you and all your brothers and sisters what you truly are. This cannot happen from the outside, but must happen from within. It is the transformation caused within that will influence the world outside.

SATOSHI'S QUOTES EXPLAINED

https://i.nostr.build/j5Mg9NPW2suPfhMb.jpg

nostr:nevent1qqsqzsthuvjd8tfw4wzv88wmdvkynyzwvp0mf3jdsgyfzdcj5xt827cpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsygy82ury0j3mw4y7vm9kcjac6xtlt0y3meemtr434hncerwatlk8avpsgqqqqqqsn8crc2

In this quote, Satoshi explains how the Bitcoin network resolves conflicts when two or more nodes (computers on the network) broadcast different versions of the next block in the blockchain simultaneously. This situation is known as a "fork" or "branching" of the blockchain.

Satoshi states that when nodes receive different versions of the next block, they will initially work on the first one they received. However, they will also save the other version, in case it becomes the longer chain. The "longest chain" is considered the correct one, meaning the chain with the most blocks.

The tie is broken when the next proof-of-work (PoW) is found, which is the solution to a complex mathematical puzzle that requires significant computational power. The node that finds the next PoW gets to add a new block to the chain, making it longer.

When one branch becomes longer, the nodes that were working on the other branch will switch to the longer one. This is because the longest chain is considered the most secure and trustworthy, as it has the most cumulative proof-of-work behind it.

In essence, Satoshi's quote describes the Bitcoin network's self-organizing and self-correcting mechanism, where nodes adapt to changes in the blockchain and eventually converge on a single, longest chain. This ensures the integrity and security of the blockchain, even in the presence of conflicts or simultaneous updates.

This concept is often referred to as the " Nakamoto Consensus" and is the foundation of Bitcoin's decentralized and trustless architecture. It allows the network to function without a central authority, relying instead on the collective efforts of nodes to maintain the integrity of the blockchain.

"Knoten betrachten immer die längste Kette als die richtige und werden weiterhin daran arbeiten, sie zu erweitern. Wenn zwei Knoten gleichzeitig unterschiedliche Versionen des nächsten Blocks senden, können einige Knoten den einen oder den anderen zuerst empfangen. In diesem Fall arbeiten sie an dem ersten, den sie empfangen haben, aber speichern den anderen Zweig für den Fall, dass er länger wird. Die Pattsituation wird aufgelöst, wenn der nächste Arbeitsnachweis gefunden wird und ein Zweig länger wird; die Knoten, die an dem anderen Zweig gearbeitet haben, werden dann zum längeren wechseln."

In diesem Zitat erklärt Satoshi, wie das Bitcoin-Netzwerk Konflikte löst, wenn zwei oder mehr Knoten (Computer im Netzwerk) gleichzeitig unterschiedliche Versionen des nächsten Blocks in der Blockchain senden. Diese Situation wird als "Fork" oder "Verzweigung" der Blockchain bezeichnet.

Satoshi erklärt, dass die Knoten, wenn sie unterschiedliche Versionen des nächsten Blocks empfangen, zunächst an der ersten Version arbeiten, die sie empfangen haben. Sie speichern jedoch auch die andere Version, falls diese die längere Kette wird. Die "längste Kette" gilt als die richtige, d.h. die Kette mit den meisten Blöcken.

Die Pattsituation wird aufgelöst, wenn der nächste Arbeitsnachweis (PoW) gefunden wird, der die Lösung eines komplexen mathematischen Rätsels ist, das erhebliche Rechenleistung erfordert. Der Knoten, der den nächsten PoW findet, darf einen neuen Block zur Kette hinzufügen, wodurch sie länger wird.

Wenn ein Zweig länger wird, wechseln die Knoten, die an dem anderen Zweig gearbeitet haben, zum längeren Zweig. Dies liegt daran, dass die längste Kette als die sicherste und vertrauenswürdigste gilt, da sie die meisten kumulativen Arbeitsnachweise aufweist.

Im Wesentlichen beschreibt Satoshis Zitat den selbstorganisierenden und selbstkorrigierenden Mechanismus des Bitcoin-Netzwerks, bei dem die Knoten sich an Änderungen in der Blockchain anpassen und schließlich auf eine einzelne, längste Kette konvergieren. Dies gewährleistet die Integrität und Sicherheit der Blockchain, selbst bei Konflikten oder gleichzeitigen Aktualisierungen.

Dieses Konzept wird oft als "Nakamoto-Konsens" bezeichnet und ist die Grundlage für die dezentralisierte und vertrauenslose Architektur von Bitcoin. Es ermöglicht dem Netzwerk, ohne eine zentrale Autorität zu funktionieren, indem es stattdessen auf die kollektiven Bemühungen der Knoten setzt, um die Integrität der Blockchain aufrechtzuerhalten.

I will not be voting in this election, or any others for that matter.

Not because I don’t believe in democracy, nor because I don’t believe in the political rights that have been won by generations past; but because of how atrophied both have become in the mutilated abomination that we currently call our form of politics and voting. The false dichotomy that is the current forms of red and blue I believe are much more damaging and pernicious than refusing to vote for either could ever be. Our political agency has been lost, and politics is most squarely to blame.

There once was a time that our elections were actually free and fair, that voting for the right people in the right places and circumstances could make significant differences that actualized The Political; but that is no longer true of the system of politics that has replaced The Political. All that we have now is a system of false and petty differences that will ensure that the machine of government and military continues to crush on, be it under a banner of blue or red—this is the only real ‘political’ choice that we are given. As for everything else, it will continue on to masquerade and marionette towards the promise of possibilities that will never come, just as the broken dreams of change will continue to tell.

I say this to you as the US federal government funnels billions of dollars into foreign wars and shell corporations that will get their money no matter who wins. I tell you this as every budget continues to spiral out of control with every politician having more concern with how they will get their cut, than how they will stop the madness. I say this at the very moment that some child is being killed with munitions from money that each of us as citizens had our dollars financed, and with there being no possibility for any of us to end any of this—at least not as far as voting is concerned.

While I believe in democracy, it is not the one of the state provides, and while I believe in voting, it is not a principle that doing once every four years can solve anything at all. Our current system of politics is at its end, and it has been for quite a while. It is all entirely clear and apparent for anyone to see, and yet the consequence of this truth is far too profound and existential for anyone to actually speak to. That is because the terror of having to admit to ourselves that our political system has been overthrown and taken over by non-elected officials who are responsible to no one but themselves and their contingency of politics is all that matters within the engine of the state, and its demand to remain in power no matter what. The real danger is the state of emergency that has become every day of our lives, with no possible hope of it ending, no matter who is elected to whatever role it may be. The machine of the state operates in one direction, and it is to continue to gather more power for itself no matter what.

To accept the truth of the darkness that we are in is to also accept the fact that this is not something that we can vote our way out of. If we are to create the radical change that we must manifest not only to save ourselves from the destitution and squaller that the current system of politics seeks to impress upon us, but to also create a radical new hopeful future where the vote and democracy can means something again, than it is something that we must build for ourselves alone. If we are to give ourselves and posterity a future that is more free and far than the one that we were given, where The Political can open itself up to politics once again, we must accept that the current path leads to nowhere. We must demand of ourselves to go out into that darkness and seek out new and different solutions that are outside and beyond the power of the state to influence or control so that we may access The Political once again and see what the truth of voting and democracy can offer, or what new and different political systems can offer.

The Political is the radical power that all people everywhere are alway entitled to when the see that the power to create change comes not from asking for approval from the old systems; but to neutralize them with something new. While I do not know what these new systems are, or how they will be created, I do see that there is something immensely powerful in what is being built here. The internet and the possibilities that it offers along with decentralized, censorship-resistance systems imbedded with cryptography at their heart, and sovereignty in mind may just be the kind of protocol that we need to breath life into The Political once again. Few of you will believe in the possibility of such new system of politics for the future, and even fewer will participate in attempting to building such systems, but I believe it is our only hope to create a future which is more free than the one that we have been given, and it is the only hope we have now to ever access The Political again.

SATOSHI'S QUOTES EXPLAINED

Satoshi is discussing the reliability and speed of broadcasting blocks in the Bitcoin network.

In this context, a "broadcast" refers to the transmission of a new block to all nodes on the network. Satoshi is saying that these broadcasts are expected to be very reliable, meaning that the data will almost always reach its destination without being lost or corrupted. This is because the underlying technology, TCP (Transmission Control Protocol), is robust and rarely drops transmissions.

Furthermore, the Bitcoin protocol has a built-in retry mechanism that allows nodes to retrieve data from other nodes if they miss a broadcast. This ensures that all nodes on the network will eventually receive the new block.

However, Satoshi notes that if the broadcasts are slower than expected, it may be necessary to increase the target time between blocks. This is because nodes need to receive and process new blocks quickly, so they can focus on generating new blocks rather than wasting resources on obsolete ones.

In essence, Satoshi wants the block propagation time to be much faster than the block generation time. If blocks take too long to propagate, nodes will spend too much time working on blocks that are no longer valid, which would be inefficient and waste resources.

This highlights the importance of efficient block propagation in the Bitcoin network, as it directly affects the overall performance and scalability of the system.

"Übertragungen werden wahrscheinlich fast vollständig zuverlässig sein. TCP-Übertragungen werden heutzutage nur selten abgebrochen, und das Broadcast-Protokoll hat einen Wiederholungsmechanismus, um Daten nach einer Weile von anderen Knoten zu erhalten. Wenn sich herausstellt, dass Übertragungen in der Praxis langsamer sind als erwartet, muss möglicherweise die Zielzeit zwischen den Blöcken erhöht werden, um den Verbrauch von Ressourcen zu vermeiden. Wir möchten, dass Blöcke normalerweise in viel kürzerer Zeit verbreitet werden, als es dauert, sie zu erzeugen, sonst würden die Knoten zu viel Zeit damit verbringen, an veralteten Blöcken zu arbeiten."

Satoshi diskutiert die Zuverlässigkeit und Geschwindigkeit der Übertragung von Blöcken im Bitcoin-Netzwerk.

In diesem Kontext bezieht sich "Übertragung" auf die Übermittlung eines neuen Blocks an alle Knoten im Netzwerk. Satoshi sagt, dass diese Übertragungen sehr zuverlässig sein werden, was bedeutet, dass die Daten fast immer ohne Verlust oder Beschädigung ihr Ziel erreichen werden. Dies liegt daran, dass die zugrunde liegende Technologie, TCP (Transmission Control Protocol), robust ist und nur selten Übertragungen abbricht.

Darüber hinaus verfügt das Bitcoin-Protokoll über einen eingebauten Wiederholungsmechanismus, der es Knoten ermöglicht, Daten von anderen Knoten abzurufen, wenn sie eine Übertragung verpassen. Dies stellt sicher, dass alle Knoten im Netzwerk letztendlich den neuen Block erhalten.

Allerdings bemerkt Satoshi, dass, wenn die Übertragungen langsamer sind als erwartet, es möglicherweise notwendig sein wird, die Zielzeit zwischen den Blöcken zu erhöhen. Dies liegt daran, dass die Knoten neue Blöcke schnell empfangen und verarbeiten müssen, damit sie sich auf die Erzeugung neuer Blöcke konzentrieren können, anstatt Ressourcen auf veraltete Blöcke zu verschwenden.

Im Wesentlichen möchte Satoshi, dass die Block-Verbreitungszeit viel schneller ist als die Block-Erzeugungszeit. Wenn Blöcke zu lange brauchen, um sich zu verbreiten, werden die Knoten zu viel Zeit damit verbringen, an Blöcken zu arbeiten, die nicht mehr gültig sind, was ineffizient und ressourcenverschwenderisch wäre.

Dies unterstreicht die Bedeutung einer effizienten Block-Verbreitung im Bitcoin-Netzwerk, da sie direkt die Gesamtleistung und Skalierbarkeit des Systems beeinflusst.

Satoshi was describing a fundamental principle of economics: the law of supply and demand. When someone attempts to buy up all of a scarce asset, their demand drives up the price. As they continue buying, the price increases, making it more expensive for them to purchase more.

Satoshi was pointing out that this situation is beneficial for the initial owners of the asset. They can sell their holdings at the inflated prices, reaping a profit. However, as the price continues to rise, some sellers may choose to hold out, expecting even higher prices in the future. This creates a self-reinforcing cycle where the price keeps increasing, fueled by speculation and the expectation of further gains.

In essence, Satoshi was highlighting the concept of a "corner" – a situation where a single entity attempts to dominate the market by buying up all available supply. However, the more they buy, the more they drive up the price, ultimately making it impossible for them to achieve their goal. This phenomenon is often seen in markets with limited supply and high demand, where prices can skyrocket due to speculation and the actions of a few large players.

Satoshi's quote may also be interpreted as a commentary on the potential for price manipulation and the dynamics of speculative markets. By acknowledging the potential for prices to be driven up by speculation, Satoshi may have been cautioning against the dangers of market manipulation and the importance of understanding the underlying economics of a scarce asset.

"Wenn jemand versucht, den gesamten Weltvorrat an einem knappen Gut aufzukaufen, desto mehr er kauft, desto höher steigt der Preis. Irgendwann wird es für ihn zu teuer, noch mehr zu kaufen. Es ist großartig für die Leute, die es vorher besessen haben, weil sie es an den "Corner" zu verrückt hohen Preisen verkaufen können. Da der Preis immer weiter steigt, halten einige Leute aus und warten auf noch höhere Preise und weigern sich zu verkaufen."

Satoshi beschrieb ein grundlegendes Prinzip der Ökonomie: das Gesetz von Angebot und Nachfrage. Wenn jemand versucht, den gesamten Vorrat an einem knappen Gut aufzukaufen, treibt ihre Nachfrage den Preis in die Höhe. Je mehr sie kaufen, desto höher steigt der Preis, was es für sie teurer macht, weitere Mengen zu kaufen.

Satoshi wies darauf hin, dass diese Situation für die ursprünglichen Besitzer des Gutes vorteilhaft ist. Sie können ihre Bestände zu den aufgeblähten Preisen verkaufen und einen Gewinn erzielen. Allerdings können einige Verkäufer, wenn der Preis weiter steigt, beschließen, noch höhere Preise abzuwarten. Dies schafft einen sich selbst verstärkenden Kreislauf, in dem der Preis weiter steigt, angetrieben von Spekulation und der Erwartung weiterer Gewinne.

Im Wesentlichen hob Satoshi das Konzept eines "Corners" hervor - eine Situation, in der eine einzelne Entität versucht, den Markt zu dominieren, indem sie den gesamten verfügbaren Vorrat aufkauft. Je mehr sie kaufen, desto mehr treiben sie den Preis in die Höhe, was es ihnen letztendlich unmöglich macht, ihr Ziel zu erreichen. Dieses Phänomen wird oft in Märkten mit begrenztem Angebot und hoher Nachfrage beobachtet, wo die Preise aufgrund von Spekulation und den Aktionen weniger großer Spieler in die Höhe schießen können.

Satoshis Zitat kann auch als Kommentar zu den Möglichkeiten der Preismanipulation und der Dynamik spekulativer Märkte interpretiert werden. Indem er die Möglichkeit anerkennt, dass Preise durch Spekulation in die Höhe getrieben werden können, mag Satoshi vor den Gefahren der Marktmanipulation und der Bedeutung des Verständnisses der zugrunde liegenden Ökonomie eines knappen Gutes gewarnt haben.

Satoshi made this statement about the SHA-256 hash function used in the Bitcoin protocol. In essence, Satoshi is expressing his confidence in the security of SHA-256.

To understand this quote, we need to consider the context of cryptographic hash functions and their history. MD5 (Message-Digest Algorithm 5) was a widely used hash function that was later found to be vulnerable to collisions, which are instances where two different inputs produce the same output hash value. This vulnerability led to the development of SHA-1 (Secure Hash Algorithm 1), which was designed to be more secure than MD5.

However, Satoshi is saying that the improvement from MD5 to SHA-1 was incremental, meaning that SHA-1 was not a fundamentally different or significantly more secure hash function than MD5. In contrast, SHA-256 (Secure Hash Algorithm 256) is a much more secure hash function that represents a major leap forward in terms of security.

Satoshi's statement suggests that SHA-256 is so secure that it can withstand attacks for "several decades" unless there is a "massive breakthrough attack." This implies that any potential vulnerabilities in SHA-256 would require a fundamental flaw in the underlying mathematics or a groundbreaking cryptanalytic technique to exploit.

In other words, Satoshi is expressing his confidence that SHA-256 is a robust and secure hash function that can resist attacks for a long time, making it a suitable choice for the Bitcoin protocol. This is important because the security of SHA-256 is crucial to the integrity of the Bitcoin blockchain, which relies on the hash function to secure transactions and control the creation of new blocks.

"SHA-256 ist sehr stark. Es ist nicht wie der inkrementelle Schritt von MD5 zu SHA1. Es kann mehrere Jahrzehnte halten, es sei denn, es gibt einen massiven Durchbruchangriff."

Satoshi machte diese Aussage über die im Bitcoin-Protokoll verwendete SHA-256-Hashfunktion. Im Wesentlichen drückt Satoshi sein Vertrauen in die Sicherheit von SHA-256 aus.

Um dieses Zitat zu verstehen, müssen wir den Kontext kryptografischer Hashfunktionen und ihre Geschichte betrachten. MD5 (Message-Digest Algorithm 5) war eine weit verbreitete Hashfunktion, die später als anfällig für Kollisionen erwiesen wurde, bei denen zwei verschiedene Eingaben den gleichen Ausgangs-Hashwert erzeugen. Diese Schwachstelle führte zur Entwicklung von SHA-1 (Secure Hash Algorithm 1), das als sicherer als MD5 konzipiert wurde.

Allerdings sagt Satoshi, dass die Verbesserung von MD5 zu SHA-1 inkrementell war, was bedeutet, dass SHA-1 keine grundlegend andersartige oder wesentlich sicherere Hashfunktion als MD5 war. Im Gegensatz dazu ist SHA-256 (Secure Hash Algorithm 256) eine wesentlich sicherere Hashfunktion, die einen großen Schritt nach vorne in Bezug auf Sicherheit darstellt.

Satoshis Aussage lässt darauf schließen, dass SHA-256 so sicher ist, dass es Angriffe über "mehrere Jahrzehnte" hinweg widerstehen kann, es sei denn, es gibt einen "massiven Durchbruch". Dies impliziert, dass potenzielle Schwachstellen in SHA-256 einen grundlegenden Fehler in der zugrunde liegenden Mathematik oder eine bahnbrechende kryptanalytische Technik erfordern würden, um ausgenutzt zu werden.

Mit anderen Worten, Satoshi drückt sein Vertrauen aus, dass SHA-256 eine robuste und sichere Hashfunktion ist, die Angriffe über einen langen Zeitraum hinweg widerstehen kann, was sie zu einer geeigneten Wahl für das Bitcoin-Protokoll macht. Dies ist wichtig, da die Sicherheit von SHA-256 für die Integrität der Bitcoin-Blockchain entscheidend ist, die auf der Hashfunktion basiert, um Transaktionen zu sichern und die Erstellung neuer Blöcke zu kontrollieren.

COUNTDOWN: 4 days left.
Me, at 48, opening my very first business.
Friday (1/11/24) seems auspicious.
#thatbitcoinprojectinbahía

to be honest, it's just serving coffee in the mornings, on a street where all of the tourists pass. it's hard to believe nobody else is already doing this. I bought a pop-up and a table and all the things I need to make coffee and some mugs and sadly even some to-go mugs (with plastic lids 😢) and everything I need for a total cost of about 1.5 million sats. imagine a lemonade stand, but with a REAL Costa Rican coffee, not that sh*t they made in a coffeemaker, served my my Costa Rican friends and neighbors. ☕🍊🚀

in the month of november, we will be open Fridays Saturdays and Sundays only. if there's more opportunity to justify doing more days, that's good news, but I want to  grow the biz slowly, intentionally. December January and February, I'm all in. peak season is known as the only time of the year to make money in Bahía... and 90 days is the perfect amount of time for a business incubator/ test. my coffee shop is just the "proof" that it's true and it works.

the goal is to make $100 a day in profit-- that's my take-home pay. included in the overhead is $1 a coffee for the friends who are helping me.

so unlike the traditional model in Costa Rica of paying someone $4 an hour, if we can sell four coffees in 15 minutes, they'll make waaaaaay more money. and the more coffees they sell, the more money they'll make. I think that's what's missing in this economy --every time I see someone local working in a restaurant in the Bitcoin Jungle they're on their phone. they're not motivated to work. they're not motivated to sell anything. they're not making any money unless they work more hours.

while initially I pondered some of those "pay what you think it's worth" ideas, everyone around me said that probably wasn't going to work in real life. (most people from most countries don't tip, and pretty much everyone from the US knows you don't have to tip in Costa Rica bc the 10% service is already included.) I'm kind of sad about not trying that idea, especially when it's really obvious to me that this is what's called "the Bitcoin standard."

but whatever.
I figured out a better way-- commissions are very motivating. and the point wasn't TO WORK, the point was to build a community. and earn bitcoin for services provided.

the photo is me, mid-pandemic, living my best life on Little Corn Island in Nicaragua. it was not Christmas season, but the coffee mug shows how little one cares when in search of a good caffeination... i was clearly grateful. i even took a photo!

THIS IS A MUST READ

DEUTSCHE ÜBERSETZUNG

**Sie putzen das Internet gerade sauber**

Die Fälle von Zensur nehmen zu und werden zur Normalität. Trotz laufender Gerichtsverfahren und zunehmender öffentlicher Aufmerksamkeit sind die großen sozialen Medien in den letzten Monaten aggressiver denn je. Podcast-Produzenten wissen genau, was sofort gelöscht wird, und debattieren untereinander über Inhalte in Grauzonen. Einige wie Brownstone haben YouTube aufgegeben und sind zu Rumble gewechselt, um ihre Inhalte überleben zu lassen, auch wenn sie dadurch ein großes Publikum opfern.

Es geht nicht immer darum, zensiert zu werden oder nicht. Heutige Algorithmen umfassen eine Reihe von Werkzeugen, die die Suchbarkeit und Auffindbarkeit beeinflussen. Zum Beispiel erreichte das Interview von Joe Rogan mit Donald Trump auf YouTube 34 Millionen Aufrufe, bevor YouTube und Google ihre Suchmaschinen manipulierten, um es schwer zu finden zu machen, während sie sogar einen technischen Fehler verursachten, der das Ansehen für viele Menschen unmöglich machte. Rogan ging daraufhin zur Plattform X, um alle drei Stunden zu posten.

Die Navigation durch diesen Dschungel von Zensur und quasi-Zensur ist Teil des Geschäftsmodells alternativer Medien geworden.

Das sind nur die Schlagzeilen. Unter der Oberfläche gibt es technische Ereignisse, die die Fähigkeit von Historikern grundlegend beeinträchtigen, zurückzublicken und zu erzählen, was passiert ist. Unglaublicherweise hat der Dienst Archive.org, der seit 1994 existiert, aufgehört, Bilder von Inhalten auf allen Plattformen zu erstellen. Zum ersten Mal in 30 Jahren haben wir eine lange Zeit - seit dem 8. bis 10. Oktober - ohne dass dieser Dienst das Leben des Internets in Echtzeit dokumentiert hat.

Zum Zeitpunkt des Schreibens haben wir keine Möglichkeit, Inhalte zu verifizieren, die in den drei Wochen vor der Wahl gepostet wurden. Entscheidend ist, dass dies nicht um Parteilichkeit oder ideologische Diskriminierung geht. Keine Websites im Internet werden archiviert, um Benutzern zugänglich zu machen. Im Grunde ist das ganze Gedächtnis unseres Hauptinformationssystems gerade ein großes schwarzes Loch.

Die Probleme bei Archive.org begannen am 8. Oktober 2024, als der Dienst plötzlich von einem massiven Denial-of-Service-Angriff (DDOS) getroffen wurde, der nicht nur den Dienst lahmlegte, sondern auch ein Maß an Ausfall verursachte, das ihn fast völlig aus dem Verkehr zog. Durch rund um die Uhr arbeitende Mitarbeiter kam Archive.org als read-only-Dienst zurück, wo es heute steht. Allerdings können Benutzer nur Inhalte lesen, die vor dem Angriff gepostet wurden. Der Dienst hat noch nicht wieder begonnen, öffentlich Inhalte von Websites zu spiegeln.

Mit anderen Worten, die einzige Quelle im gesamten World Wide Web, die Inhalte in Echtzeit spiegelt, ist deaktiviert. Zum ersten Mal seit der Erfindung des Webbrowsers selbst sind Forscher um die Fähigkeit gebracht worden, vergangene mit zukünftigen Inhalten zu vergleichen, eine Aktion, die ein wichtiger Bestandteil der Forschung in Regierungs- und Unternehmenshandlungen ist.

Es war dieser Dienst, der es Forschern von Brownstone ermöglichte, genau zu entdecken, was die CDC über Plexiglas, Filtersysteme, Briefwahl und Mietmoratorien gesagt hatte. Diese Inhalte wurden später von der Live-Internetseite entfernt, sodass der Zugriff auf Archivkopien die einzige Möglichkeit war, zu wissen und zu verifizieren, was wahr war. Es war dasselbe mit der Weltgesundheitsorganisation und ihrer Herabwürdigung der natürlichen Immunität, die später geändert wurde. Wir konnten die sich ändernden Definitionen nur dank dieses Tools dokumentieren, das jetzt deaktiviert ist.

Was dies bedeutet, ist Folgendes: Jede Website kann heute alles posten und morgen wieder entfernen, ohne dass eine Spur davon bleibt, es sei denn, ein Benutzer irgendwo hat einen Screenshot gemacht. Selbst dann gibt es keine Möglichkeit, seine Echtheit zu verifizieren. Der Standardansatz, um zu wissen, wer was gesagt hat und wann, ist jetzt weg. Das heißt, das ganze Internet wird bereits in Echtzeit zensiert, sodass während dieser entscheidenden Wochen, wenn weite Teile der Öffentlichkeit volle Transparenz erwarten, jeder in der Informationsindustrie alles tun kann, ohne erwischt zu werden.

Wir wissen, was Sie denken. Sicherlich war dieser DDOS-Angriff kein Zufall. Die Zeit war einfach zu perfekt. Und vielleicht ist das richtig. Wir wissen es einfach nicht. Verdächtigt Archive.org etwas in dieser Richtung? Hier ist, was sie sagen:

Letzte Woche, zusammen mit einem DDOS-Angriff und der Offenlegung von Patron-E-Mail-Adressen und verschlüsselten Passwörtern, wurde die Website-Javascript von Internet Archive defaced, was uns dazu brachte, die Website herunterzufahren, um Zugang und Sicherheit zu verbessern. Die gespeicherten Daten von Internet Archive sind sicher, und wir arbeiten daran, die Dienste sicher wiederherzustellen. Diese neue Realität erfordert erhöhte Aufmerksamkeit für Cybersicherheit, und wir reagieren darauf. Wir entschuldigen uns für die Auswirkungen dieser Bibliotheksdienste, die nicht verfügbar sind.

Tiefenstaat? Wie bei all diesen Dingen gibt es keine Möglichkeit, es zu wissen, aber der Versuch, die Fähigkeit des Internets zu zerstören, eine verifizierte Geschichte zu haben, passt gut in das Stakeholder-Modell der Informationsverteilung, das offensichtlich auf globaler Ebene priorisiert wurde. Die Erklärung der Zukunft des Internets macht dies sehr klar: Das Internet sollte durch den Multi-Stakeholder-Ansatz regiert werden, bei dem Regierungen und relevante Behörden mit Akademikern, Zivilgesellschaft, Privatsektor, technischer Gemeinschaft und anderen zusammenarbeiten. All diese Stakeholder profitieren von der Fähigkeit, online zu handeln, ohne eine Spur zu hinterlassen.

Um sicher zu sein, hat ein Bibliothekar von Archive.org geschrieben: "Während die Wayback Machine im Read-only-Modus war, wurde das Web-Crawling und Archivieren fortgesetzt. Diese Materialien werden über die Wayback Machine verfügbar sein, wenn die Dienste gesichert sind."

Wann? Wir wissen es nicht. Vor der Wahl? In fünf Jahren? Es gibt vielleicht technische Gründe, aber es scheint, dass wenn das Web-Crawling hinter den Kulissen weitergeht, wie die Notiz suggeriert, dass auch dies im Read-only-Modus verfügbar sein könnte. Es ist nicht.

Beunruhigenderweise geschieht diese Auslöschung des Internet-Gedächtnisses nicht nur an einem Ort. Für viele Jahre bot Google eine gecachte Version des Links an, den Sie suchten, direkt unter der Live-Version. Sie haben genug Server-Speicherplatz, um dies jetzt zu ermöglichen, aber nein: dieser Dienst ist jetzt völlig verschwunden. Tatsächlich endete der Google-Cache-Dienst offiziell nur eine Woche oder zwei vor dem Archive.org-Crash, Ende September 2024.

Somit verschwanden die beiden verfügbaren Tools für die Suche nach gecachten Seiten im Internet innerhalb von Wochen voneinander und innerhalb von Wochen vor der Wahl am 5. November.

Andere beunruhigende Trends machen die Suchergebnisse im Internet zunehmend zu AI-kontrollierten Listen von etablierten Narrativen. Der Web-Standard war früher, dass die Rangfolge der Suchergebnisse durch Benutzerverhalten, Links, Zitate und so weiter bestimmt wurde. Diese waren mehr oder weniger organische Metriken, basierend auf einer Aggregation von Daten, die anzeigten, wie nützlich ein Suchergebnis für Internet-Benutzer war. Sehr einfach gesagt: Je mehr Menschen ein Suchergebnis nützlich fanden, desto höher war es in der Rangfolge. Google verwendet jetzt sehr unterschiedliche Metriken, um die Rangfolge der Suchergebnisse zu bestimmen, einschließlich dessen, was es als "vertrauenswürdige Quellen" betrachtet, und andere undurchsichtige, subjektive Bestimmungen.

Darüber hinaus ist der am häufigsten verwendete Dienst, der einmal Websites basierend auf Traffic rangierte, jetzt verschwunden. Dieser Dienst hieß Alexa. Das Unternehmen, das es erstellte, war unabhängig. Dann wurde es eines Tages im Jahr 1999 von Amazon gekauft. Das schien ermutigend, weil Amazon gut kapitalisiert war. Der Kauf schien das Tool zu kodifizieren, das jeder verwendete, als eine Art Metrik des Status im Web. Es war üblich, früher einen Artikel irgendwo im Web zu lesen und dann auf Alexa nachzuschauen, um seine Reichweite zu sehen. Wenn es wichtig war, nahm man Notiz davon, aber wenn es nicht wichtig war, kümmerte sich niemand besonders darum.

So funktionierte eine ganze Generation von Web-Technikern. Das System funktionierte so gut wie möglich.

Dann tat Amazon im Jahr 2014 etwas Seltsames. Es veröffentlichte seinen Home-Assistenten (und Überwachungsgerät) mit demselben Namen. Plötzlich hatte jeder sie in ihren Häusern und fand heraus, dass sie alles herausfinden konnten, indem sie "Hey Alexa" sagten. Etwas schien seltsam an Amazon, das seinen neuen Produktnamen nach einem nicht verwandten Unternehmen benannte, das es Jahre zuvor erworben hatte. Zweifellos gab es einige Verwirrung durch die Namensüberschneidung.

Hier ist, was als nächstes geschah. Im Jahr 2022 nahm Amazon den Web-Ranking-Dienst aktiv herunter. Es verkaufte ihn nicht. Es erhöhte die Preise nicht. Es tat nichts damit. Es machte ihn einfach völlig dunkel.

Niemand konnte herausfinden, warum. Es war der Industriestandard, und plötzlich war er verschwunden. Nicht verkauft, einfach weggeblasen. Niemand konnte mehr die Traffic-basierten Website-Rangfolgen von irgendetwas herausfinden, ohne sehr hohe Preise für schwer zu verwendende proprietäre Produkte zu zahlen.

All diese Datenpunkte, die einzeln betrachtet unabhängig erscheinen, sind tatsächlich Teil einer langen Trajektorie, die unsere Informationslandschaft in unerkennbares Territorium verschoben hat. Die Covid-Ereignisse von 2020-2023, mit massiver globaler Zensur und Propagandabemühungen, beschleunigten diese Trends stark.

Man fragt sich, ob jemand sich noch daran erinnern wird, wie es einmal war. Der Hack und die Verkrüppelung von Archive.org unterstreichen den Punkt: Es wird kein Gedächtnis mehr geben.

Zum Zeitpunkt des Schreibens fehlen uns drei Wochen Web-Inhalte, die nicht archiviert wurden. Was wir vermissen und was sich geändert hat, ist jedermanns Vermutung. Und wir haben keine Ahnung, wann der Dienst zurückkommen wird. Es ist durchaus möglich, dass er nicht zurückkommen wird, dass die einzige wahre Geschichte, auf die wir zurückgreifen können, vor dem 8. Oktober 2024 liegt, dem Datum, an dem alles geändert wurde.

Das Internet wurde gegründet, um frei und demokratisch zu sein. Es wird herkulane Anstrengungen erfordern, um diese Vision wiederherzustellen, denn etwas anderes ersetzt sie schnell.

Satoshi is talking about the early days of Bitcoin, specifically about transaction fees. The `-paytxfee` switch was a manual option that allowed users to set a fee for their transactions.

Satoshi is saying that instead of relying on manual control, the software could be designed to automatically adjust fees based on the size of recent blocks. The idea is that if recent blocks are full (or close to being full), the software would increase the fee to incentivize miners to include the transaction in the next block.

However, at the time of writing, Satoshi believed that the network was far from reaching its capacity limits (the "threshold" he mentions), so there was no urgent need to implement automatic fee adjustment. He preferred to keep things simple and see how manual control worked out before adding more complexity to the software.

In essence, Satoshi is expressing a cautious and incremental approach to developing Bitcoin, preferring to observe and learn from the network's behavior before introducing new features or automation.

"Derzeit wird die Zahlung einer Gebühr manuell über den -paytxfee-Schalter gesteuert. Es wäre sehr einfach, die Software so zu konfigurieren, dass sie automatisch die Größe der letzten Blöcke überprüft, um zu sehen, ob eine Gebühr gezahlt werden sollte. Wir sind noch so weit davon entfernt, die Schwelle zu erreichen, dass wir das noch nicht benötigen. Es ist ohnehin eine gute Idee, zunächst zu sehen, wie es mit der manuellen Steuerung läuft."

Satoshi spricht über die frühen Tage von Bitcoin, insbesondere über Transaktionsgebühren. Der `-paytxfee`-Schalter war eine manuelle Option, die es Benutzern ermöglichte, eine Gebühr für ihre Transaktionen festzulegen.

Satoshi sagt, dass anstatt auf manuelle Kontrolle zu setzen, die Software so konzipiert werden könnte, dass sie automatisch die Gebühren anhand der Größe der letzten Blöcke anpasst. Die Idee ist, dass wenn die letzten Blöcke voll sind (oder fast voll), die Software die Gebühr erhöht, um die Miner dazu zu bringen, die Transaktion im nächsten Block zu includieren.

Zum Zeitpunkt des Schreibens glaubte Satoshi jedoch, dass das Netzwerk noch weit von seinen Kapazitätsgrenzen entfernt war (die "Schwelle", die er erwähnt), so dass es keine dringende Notwendigkeit gab, eine automatische Gebührenanpassung zu implementieren. Er bevorzugte es, die Dinge einfach zu halten und zu sehen, wie die manuelle Kontrolle funktionierte, bevor er weitere Komplexität in die Software einführte.

Im Wesentlichen drückt Satoshi einen vorsichtigen und inkrementellen Ansatz zur Entwicklung von Bitcoin aus, bei dem er es vorzieht, das Verhalten des Netzwerks zu beobachten und daraus zu lernen, bevor er neue Funktionen oder Automatisierungen einführt.

Es ist höchste Zeit, dass wir uns gemeinsam für den Schutz, unserer Privatsphäre einsetzen! Genug Werkzeuge haben wir am Start und Devs bauen einfach geile Scheiß auf Nostr auf. Niemand muss sich dafür rechtfertigen, dass er Wert auf seine Privatsphäre legt. Niemand sollte sich damit abfinden unter Generalverdacht gestellt zu werden. Und jeder Staat der das anders sieht, sollte mit absoluter Härte daran gehindert werden.

In this quote, Satoshi is describing the fundamental concept behind decentralized digital currency. He's envisioning a system where individuals can make online transactions directly with each other, without the need for intermediaries like banks, payment processors, or other financial institutions.

In traditional payment systems, transactions involve multiple parties: the sender, the recipient, and one or more intermediaries that facilitate the transfer of funds. These intermediaries often charge fees, impose restrictions, and require users to trust them with sensitive information.

Satoshi's idea is to eliminate these intermediaries and enable peer-to-peer transactions, where the sender and recipient interact directly. This approach would allow for faster, cheaper, and more private transactions, as well as greater autonomy and control for users over their financial activities.

In essence, Satoshi is proposing a decentralized system, where the power to make and receive payments is held by individuals, rather than centralized institutions. This concept is at the heart of Bitcoin to enable secure, transparent, and trustless transactions between peers.

"Eine rein peer-to-peer-Version von elektronischem Geld würde es ermöglichen, Online-Zahlungen direkt von einer Partei an eine andere zu senden, ohne dass eine Finanzinstitution dazwischen geschaltet ist."

In diesem Zitat beschreibt Satoshi, das grundlegende Konzept hinter dezentraler digitaler Währung. Er stellt sich ein System vor, in dem Individuen Online-Transaktionen direkt miteinander durchführen können, ohne dass Vermittler wie Banken, Zahlungsabwickler oder andere Finanzinstitutionen benötigt werden.

In traditionellen Zahlungssystemen sind Transaktionen an mehrere Parteien gebunden: den Absender, den Empfänger und einen oder mehrere Vermittler, die den Geldtransfer erleichtern. Diese Vermittler erheben oft Gebühren, legen Beschränkungen fest und verlangen von den Nutzern, dass sie ihnen sensible Informationen anvertrauen.

Satoshi möchte diese Vermittler ausschalten und Peer-to-Peer-Transaktionen ermöglichen, bei denen Absender und Empfänger direkt miteinander interagieren. Dieser Ansatz würde schnellere, günstigere und privatere Transaktionen ermöglichen sowie eine größere Autonomie und Kontrolle für die Nutzer über ihre finanziellen Aktivitäten.

Im Wesentlichen schlägt Satoshi ein dezentrales System vor, in dem die Macht, Zahlungen zu tätigen und zu empfangen, bei den Individuen liegt und nicht bei zentralisierten Institutionen. Dieses Konzept ist das Herzstück von Bitcoin, um sichere, transparente und vertrauenslose Transaktionen zwischen Peers zu ermöglichen.

As a gift for Bitcoin’s sweet 16 my friend Tomer Strolight (I’d tag him but the client keeps crashing when I do) and I have been doing a few calls a month where we rap deep about Bitcoin, how it has changed us, and how it is changing the world.  We thought that we would try sharing it as some folks might get some value out of it.

With that, I present the first episode (and maybe the last, who knows) of what we decided to call The Spirt of Satoshi!

My thoughts today

I HAVE A DREAM.

(White paper day)

16 years ago today, the Bitcoin whitepaper was published by Satoshi Nakamoto. A document that changed the world of finance forever. It's a day that reminds us that the future is not dictated from above, but built from below.

I think of the words of Martin Luther King, who over 50 years ago said: "I have a dream". A dream of a world where all people are equal, where all people have the same opportunities. A dream that still hasn't been fulfilled to this day.

But I also think of Satoshi Nakamoto's dream. A dream of a world where finances are not controlled by a small elite, but by all people. A dream of a world where transactions are secure, transparent, and decentralized.

The Bitcoin whitepaper was a call to this dream. A call that encouraged people to question existing systems and seek new solutions. A call that inspired people to work towards a better future.

We stand at a crossroads today. We can choose a future where finances are dictated from above, or we can choose a future where finances are controlled by all people.

I have a dream of a future where the Bitcoin revolution is not just a technical revolution, but a social revolution. A revolution that frees people from the tyranny of central banks and the financial elite.

I have a dream of a future where people control their own finances, where people make their own decisions. A future where people are free.

This is Satoshi Nakamoto's dream. This is Bitcoin's dream. And this is the dream we must fight for today.

We must fight for a future where finances are decentralized, transparent, and secure. We must fight for a future where people control their own finances.

I ask you, let us fight for this dream together. Let us fight for a better future together. A future where finances are controlled by all people.

Bitcoin is a one-way street.

You don’t see bitcoiners becoming fiat people; once they change they stay that way (with the fun exception of bitcoin derangement syndrome).

This means every single day the fiat system gets a little weaker and bitcoin gets a bit stronger.

It’s just a matter of time before the crossover inflection point happens.

Relay list to store private content from this author


Thx so much Vitor


You can either take control of your relay lists, or they will control you.

This is a long form article, you can read it in https://habla.news/a/naddr1qvzqqqr4gupzq3svyhng9ld8sv44950j957j9vchdktj7cxumsep9mvvjthc2pjuqq9hyetvv9uj6um9w36hq9mgjg8

If you don't know where your posts are, you might as well just stay in the centralized Twitter. You either take control of your relay lists, or they will control you. Amethyst offers several lists of relays for our users. We are going to go one by one to help clarify what they are and which options are best for each one.

## Public Home/Outbox Relays

Home relays store all YOUR content: all your posts, likes, replies, lists, etc. It's your home. Amethyst will send your posts here first. Your followers will use these relays to get new posts from you. So, if you don't have anything there, **they will not receive your updates**.

Home relays must allow queries from anyone, ideally without the need to authenticate. They can limit writes to paid users without affecting anyone's experience.

This list should have a maximum of 3 relays. More than that will only make your followers waste their mobile data getting your posts. Keep it simple. Out of the 3 relays, I recommend:
- 1 large public, international relay: nos.lol, nostr.mom, relay.damus.io, etc.
- 1 personal relay to store a copy of all your content in a place no one can delete. Go to [relay.tools](https://relay.tools/) and never be censored again.
- 1 really fast relay located in your country: paid options like http://nostr.wine are great

Do not include relays that block users from seeing posts in this list. If you do, no one will see your posts.

## Public Inbox Relays

This relay type receives all replies, comments, likes, and zaps to your posts. If you are not getting notifications or you don't see replies from your friends, it is likely because you don't have the right setup here. If you are getting too much spam in your replies, it's probably because your inbox relays are not protecting you enough. Paid relays can filter inbox spam out.

Inbox relays must allow anyone to write into them. It's the opposite of the outbox relay. They can limit who can download the posts to their paid subscribers without affecting anyone's experience.

This list should have a maximum of 3 relays as well. Again, keep it small. More than that will just make you spend more of your data plan downloading the same notifications from all these different servers. Out of the 3 relays, I recommend:
- 1 large public, international relay: nos.lol, nostr.mom, relay.damus.io, etc.
- 1 personal relay to store a copy of your notifications, invites, cashu tokens and zaps.
- 1 really fast relay located in your country: go to [nostr.watch](https://nostr.watch/relays/find) and find relays in your country

Terrible options include:
- nostr.wine should not be here.
- filter.nostr.wine should not be here.
- inbox.nostr.wine should not be here.

## DM Inbox Relays

These are the relays used to receive DMs and private content. Others will use these relays to send DMs to you. **If you don't have it setup, you will miss DMs**. DM Inbox relays should accept any message from anyone, but only allow you to download them.

Generally speaking, you only need 3 for reliability. One of them should be a personal relay to make sure you have a copy of all your messages. The others can be open if you want push notifications or closed if you want full privacy.

Good options are:
- inbox.nostr.wine and auth.nostr1.com: anyone can send messages and only you can download. Not even our push notification server has access to them to notify you.
- a personal relay to make sure no one can censor you. Advanced settings on personal relays can also store your DMs privately. Talk to your relay operator for more details.
- a hidden, but public relay if you want DM notifications from our servers.

Make sure to add at least one public relay if you want to see DM notifications.

## Private Home Relays

Private Relays are for things no one should see, like your drafts, lists, app settings, bookmarks etc. Ideally, these relays are either local or require authentication before posting AND downloading each user\'s content. There are no dedicated relays for this category yet, so I would use a local relay like Citrine on Android and a personal relay on relay.tools

## Search relays:

This is the list of relays to use on Amethyst's search and user tagging with @. **Tagging and searching will not work if there is nothing here.**. This option requires NIP-50 compliance from each relay. Hit the Default button to use all available options on existence today:
- nostr.wine
- relay.nostr.band
- relay.noswhere.com

## Local Relays:

This is your local storage. Everything will load faster if it comes from this relay. You should install Citrine on Android and write ws://localhost:4869 in this option.

## General Relays:

This section contains the default relays used to download content from your follows. Notice how you can activate and deactivate the Home, Messages (old-style DMs), Chat (public chats), and Global options in each.

Keep 5-6 large relays on this list and activate them for as many categories (Home, Messages (old-style DMs), Chat, and Global) as possible.

Amethyst will provide additional recommendations to this list from your follows with information on which of your follows might need the additional relay in your list. Add them if you feel like you are missing their posts or if it is just taking too long to load them.

## Final Considerations

Remember, relays can see what your Nostr client is requesting and downloading at all times. They can track what you see and see what you like. They can sell that information to the highest bidder, they can delete your content or content that a sponsor asked them to delete (like a negative review for instance) and they can censor you in any way they see fit. Before using any random free relay out there, make sure you trust its operator and you know its terms of service and privacy policies.


They're all coming back, cause they have to.

But I also think of Satoshi Nakamoto's dream. A dream of a world where finances are not controlled by a small elite, but by all people. A dream of a world where transactions are secure, transparent, and decentralized.

The Bitcoin whitepaper was a call to this dream. A call that encouraged people to question existing systems and seek new solutions. A call that inspired people to work towards a better future.

We stand at a crossroads today. We can choose a future where finances are dictated from above, or we can choose a future where finances are controlled by all people.

I have a dream of a future where the Bitcoin revolution is not just a technical revolution, but a social revolution. A revolution that frees people from the tyranny of central banks and the financial elite.

I have a dream of a future where people control their own finances, where people make their own decisions. A future where people are free.

This is Satoshi Nakamoto's dream. This is Bitcoin's dream. And this is the dream we must fight for today.

We must fight for a future where finances are decentralized, transparent, and secure. We must fight for a future where people control their own finances.

I ask you, let us fight for this dream together. Let us fight for a better future together. A future where finances are controlled by all people.

You are having a public one (above one) and a private one (starting with nsec). Never give that one away. Keep it secret.


On your profile page


Imaging dollar and cents. Sats are the cents from bitcoin. Bitcoin and Satoshis (sats)


We were just joking. You for sure knowing more about it, then most of us.


That's your npub address


You already have one. What you don't have is a lightning address, so that we can send you sats


Welcome to the nice people


Hoffe deine Ersparnisse stackst du in Lightning und -wenn's mehr wird- in einer onchain Wallet


Klappt


You made my day 🤣🤣🤣


OMG


In meiner Wallet sehe ich die 21 sats. Danke


Du musst in deinem Nostr Profil deine lightning Adresse eingeben

Satoshi, made this statement in an email to Mike Hearn on October 28, 2010. In this context, Satoshi is referring to the automatic adjustment of the Bitcoin network's difficulty level.

The "difficulty" in Bitcoin refers to the computational power required to solve the complex mathematical problems needed to mine new blocks and validate transactions. As more miners join the network, the difficulty level increases, making it harder to solve these problems.

In this specific case, Satoshi mentions that the difficulty has increased by a factor of 4, meaning it is now four times harder to mine new Bitcoins. This increase in difficulty has a direct impact on the cost of mining.

Satoshi then mentions that the cost of mining is now US$0.02 per Bitcoin (BTC). This means that, at the time, it cost 2 cents to mine one Bitcoin. The cost includes the electricity and computational resources required to solve the complex mathematical problems.

In essence, Satoshi is highlighting the dynamic nature of the Bitcoin network, where the difficulty level adjusts to the number of miners and the computational power they contribute. This adjustment ensures the security and integrity of the network, as well as the decentralized and competitive nature of the mining process.

"Die Schwierigkeit hat sich gerade um das Vierfache erhöht, daher betragen deine Kosten jetzt 0,02 US-Dollar pro Bitcoin."

Satoshi machte diese Aussage in einer E-Mail an Mike Hearn am 28. Oktober 2010. In diesem Kontext bezieht sich Satoshi auf die automatische Anpassung des Schwierigkeitsgrads des Bitcoin-Netzwerks.

Die "Schwierigkeit" bei Bitcoin bezieht sich auf die Rechenleistung, die benötigt wird, um die komplexen mathematischen Probleme zu lösen, die erforderlich sind, um neue Blöcke zu schürfen und Transaktionen zu validieren. Wenn mehr Miner dem Netzwerk beitreten, erhöht sich der Schwierigkeitsgrad, was es schwieriger macht, diese Probleme zu lösen.

In diesem speziellen Fall erwähnt Satoshi, dass die Schwierigkeit um einen Faktor von 4 erhöht wurde, was bedeutet, dass es nun viermal schwieriger ist, neue Bitcoins zu Minen. Diese Erhöhung der Schwierigkeit hat einen direkten Einfluss auf die Kosten des Schürfens.

Satoshi erwähnt dann, dass die Kosten des Minens nun 0,02 US-Dollar pro Bitcoin (BTC) betragen. Das bedeutet, dass es damals 2 Cent kostete, einen Bitcoin zu minen. Die Kosten umfassen die benötigte Elektrizität und Rechenleistung, um die komplexen mathematischen Probleme zu lösen.

Im Wesentlichen hebt Satoshi die dynamische Natur des Bitcoin-Netzwerks hervor, bei der der Schwierigkeitsgrad sich an die Anzahl der Miner und die von ihnen beigestellte Rechenleistung anpasst. Diese Anpassung gewährleistet die Sicherheit und Integrität des Netzwerks sowie die dezentralisierte und wettbewerbsorientierte Natur des Mining-Prozesses.
