That’s good news. I need to look at the details, but the general idea is that if you ‘buy’ something and the merchant refuses to accept cash, your obligation to pay is then discharged and you get to keep the good - and your cash!

NOSTR COULD BE MORE IMPORTANT TO THE HUMAN RACE THAN AIR!!!

nostr:nevent1qqsv46nwzzuww9ckvsfjy3n8u0ajm85xeplchnj6el35758uvjnzdaspzdmhxue69uhhwmm59e6hg7r09ehkuef0qgsqfjg4mth7uwp307nng3z2em3ep2pxnljczzezg8j7dhf58ha7ejgrqsqqqqqptm2nhx


A myth in nostr is that if one relay goes down 3 spring up.  This is an irrational myth.  Observation is closer to the opposite.  If 3 relays go down, one new one starts.  Continuing that trend leads to a small set of centralized relays, which most people will use.


“Time is basically an illusion created by the mind to aid in our sense of temporal presence in the vast ocean of space. Without the neurons to create a virtual perception of the past and the future based on all our experiences, there is no actual existence of the past and the future. All that there is, is the present.”

Which should we develop next on Amethyst?
- a Jobs board where you can offer your services and find people to hire, fiverr style.
- local feeds, where the app will present a feed based on locations and allow you to post only to people in your location.
- integration with nostrnests, with voice participation, like on Nostur/Twitter spaces.
- realtime voice and video calls that integrate with 0xchat.

Just for reference, this isn't perfectly accurate because i can't find exact measurements of the booster only, but the entire starship is a little over 400ft.

This makes the Statue of Liberty a tad taller than the booster alone from what it looks like, but this should give some references to try to picture the scale of what just happened and why this is a big deal.

This is the rocket that they expect to be able to potentially take humans (back? 🤔) to the moon and further, and it just launched into space, returned on its own, and was firmly and safely placed back to the exact same position where it will take off from for its next mission. 🤯

Nostr is fun


I'm sure you did man, youre one of the hardest working people I've had the pleasure of interacting with on this side of the internet. Using NIP05 to do this is a pretty cool idea like I said, I'm sure there's a ton more interesting stuff you've solved that you didn't talk about, I'd love to hear about some of it.

So I'm curious, you and I have both seen the terrible effect of admin fiefdoms in the fediverse over the years, you probably more than anyone else. You're not concerned about recreating that here? Turning relays into community servers, admins of community identities, youre not worried about block lists and flame wars and people getting booted from communities for having the wrong friends? A key getting blocked from fetching from a relay because their posts are on a specific "bad person" relay or anything like that? The fact that admins can't take your keys is wonderful, bit did you put any thought or work into trying to avoid all that mess from happening here?

So guys I've been posting only on Nostr for a few months now. I'm basically done with the Fediverse. I built new software and been enjoying the new world. But they don't want me to leave quietly. They want me to go out with a bang. Alright.

Today, 2563 years ago, Cyrus captured Babylon, ending its dominance as an Empire. https://image.nostr.build/3f3fa74e4d6e00d08929cf6890fe077f54e49589dd89572644d7ace84bcebb6c.jpg


You can use disappearing messages if you're worried about device access. Disappearing messages require ratcheting, otherwise the message history will be found on relays and decryptable. Ratcheting protects your past and future messages even if your main key is stolen by a compromised client or one-time device access.

On Signal, maybe someone who borrows your phone could link another device without you noticing? Idk. But double ratchet still protects from all the other scenarios.


The full decentralized web stack I believe is now there.  Nostr is one component in it, namely the relay component, but there are many other components in it, for example bitcoin for payments, and other solutions for storage, and so on.

The challenge now is to roll it out.  A solution is not enough, people need to be ready for that solution.  You can only successfully roll out a solution that people are ready for.  Even to a small group.  So the skill becomes finding which part of the stack people are ready for.

Interestingly, machines will be part of a future stack for the first time.  The roll out to machines will be different to the roll out to humans.  But potenially more impactful.


Nostr is not a privacy solution.  In some aspects it is an anti-privacy solution.  It makes notes easy to publish and harder to censor.  Lose your key and your health history is there for everyone to see, forever.  This is the danger of over using nostr for things that it is not good at.  Unsuspecting users will get rekt, and that will give nostr a bad name.

It's a step in the right direction, but it still reveals the recipient and doesn't do key rotation, so all your message history and future messages are revealed if your main Nostr key is ever compromised. It's a tradeoff between security and availability. I'd personally choose Signal-style key rotation.


🚀 Excited to introduce the SAND stack, the first open decentralized stack built for both humans and machines! 🌍

Integrating 4 amazing technologies—Solid, ActivityPub, Nostr, and Ditto—this stack offers more features for users and an open, permissionless platform for developers to build on. 💻✨

This will help countries circumvent illegal Western unilateral sanctions.

It will also let them settle transactions in local currencies, not the US dollar.

Secure DMs and groups might be how Nostr wins. Like Signal, but better: no phone number or centralized service provider needed. Actually there are no publicly visible user IDs involved, so in that regard it's similar to simplex.chat.

Unlike public messaging, DMs do not depend on the network effect. Great for onboarding people and keeping them returning with push notifications. They get a bitcoin wallet, zaps and all the other Nostr greatness on the side.

Many people don't want to let go of their existing follower base on X, but "Nostr DMs only" is easier to do. I could imagine that becoming a thing in the Bitcoin scene at first.


It's weird to see external people that are aligned with Nostr's goals and even the overall design to complain about petty bugs or small details -- well, even big issues.

"Oh, I like the idea of Nostr, but it's so bad because I tried a random client and the search button doesn't work, therefore I will assert that Nostr is retarded and will never succeed."

The thing is: to whom are you complaining? Nostr isn't an organization trying to sell you anything, and if you are aligned with the goals then that supposed "Nostr problem" is also your problem so start trying to solve it. Or maybe you have a better alternative?, otherwise the tone of the complaint doesn't make sense.

Flag trees are typical of places where strong winds blow continually from the same direction. Branches on the windward side are killed or deformed, giving the tree a characteristic flag-like appearance.

Nostr weekly users seems to be (hopefully) stabilizing at 30k WAU from a peak of 60k WAU.  Right when nostr was starting to take off due to Twitter issues, nostr experienced two devastating attacks (Colorado and RG).  The network has halved and is approaching yearly lows.  What bad timing.  I wish they would attack our competitors, rather than attacking us.

I'm at Bitcoin Amsterdam, but spent half the day finishing some Signal-style double ratchet messaging.

Deployed an experimental version on https://iris.to. You can create chat invite links and give them to friends via QR or other messaging. The UI is still lacking and glitchy, but just had to demo at the conference.

The chats cannot be publicly linked to either participant, and even if your main Nostr key is revealed, the content and existence of past messages stays hidden.
 https://image.nostr.build/b4533acd973793f7114fd5c272ccd5b5045ea0bd127c214e8314fc4c8282a354.png

Also published npm package nostr-double-ratchet 0.0.1: https://www.npmjs.com/package/nostr-double-ratchet

It's not actually double ratchet yet, but the single ratchet already achieves forward and backward secrecy.

The second ratchet would help secure the latest consecutive messages by same author, in case a message key for the most recent of their messages is compromised. That makes disappearing messages or manually deleted messages more secure. I guess we'll have to do it so we can say "Signal-level security".

This is obviously not tested or audited yet, but probably it's not worse than normal Nostr DMs 😅

You can take a look at the source code, but I'll write a better technical description later. It's using existing Nostr cryptography + some key derivation stuff. Chat invites use gift wrap -like arrangement addressed to the inviter's temporary session key. https://github.com/mmalmi/nostr-double-ratchet


Last night, HBO published a documentary that claims to reveal the identity of Bitcoin’s creator, Satoshi Nakamoto.

We believe this narrative goes against the very ethos of Bitcoin and strongly oppose this kind of sensationalism.

Speculating on Satoshi’s identity isn’t just unnecessary; it’s irresponsible and dangerous.

The power of Bitcoin lies in its design, and Satoshi’s anonymity has been essential in allowing Bitcoin to grow free from individual influence.

This isn’t a flaw—it’s one of Bitcoin’s greatest strengths.

Knowing who Satoshi is wouldn’t contribute anything positive to Bitcoin; instead, it would create a target, invite unnecessary attention, and compromise the principles on which Bitcoin was founded.

We discourage this type of speculative behavior and urge everyone to respect Satoshi’s choice to remain anonymous.

Let’s focus on advancing Bitcoin for a freer future, and honor the decisions that have allowed it to flourish.

Welcome nostr:npub1lvcacv2qhs0m6hspzf8klwghnzy2cky5ftnp4fsfdfj7h2pqzqxqmlaw2q - Anon Innovator to Nostr. She is a shared identity that can be used by people who want to share cool Cypherpunk projects anonymously. Usually, this is quite a big problem, because if you want to share open source code and want to stay anonymous, you can't use your existing social network.

The password to posting is going to be shared widely among devs. If you are a free software and cypherpunk author (even if not anon), ask for password and spread it wisely.

We want the anonymity set to grow, plus it's not defined, it's just the knowledge of a password. So it can't be really pinpointed who knows it.

On the other hand, there is a password, otherwise the account would be just taken over by spammers, reducing usefulness.

Lizz is accessible through Nostr (give her a follow) and you can also access her website for people who are not Nostr enabled yet. Through the web you can also easily post, the Nostr private key is derived from the password in JavaScript.

Most people don’t have any serious mental health issues.

Just ordinary misery.

A little depression and a little anxiety are normal.

That’s part of an ordinary life. Not something that needs to be medicated.

Not something that requires years of therapy.

Just the normal course of events.

And can be remedied quite easily with exercise, nutrition, social relationships, sunlight and a feeling of purpose.

when they resort to pejoratives as the primary substance of their arguments, you know they are lying.


TLDR: I am labeled “antisemitic conspiracy theorist” & “woke”.

This is how strong & effective the propaganda, mind-control, brain washing machine is:

I am Jewish, Israeli. Granddaughter to holocaust survivors. My roots are both from Europe & Africa. My grandparents immigrated to Israel after WW2 with the hope to find a safe haven.

While I honor my heritage, I also boldly expose lies told to my ancestors, and Israeli/jewish society as a whole.

I am a dissident voice to the government & state, and I care about human lives of Israelis & neighbors.
I criticize the government & state, and point out how they steal from citizens, violate rights, exercise their monopoly on violence, and cause harms to innocent people who just want to live quietly and safely. I dare to also ask questions, research & speculate about the broader sets of interests & global powers driving this.

For that, I am being labeled “antisemitic conspiracy theorist” & “woke”.
Following that “logic”, my views risk all Jewish people in Israel & around the world. My views are “threat to Jewish lives” - because I say that the Israeli government does not have the best interest of the people, and is not really protecting them.

Propaganda 101.
The easiest scare tactic, and silencing method.

I think the solution to the next leg up, is a simple one.  And that is:  "let nostr be nostr".

Nostr is a relay system that transmits notes, and other stuff, from one user to another.

It should be used for that.  Nostr is a terrible database, and should never be used that way.  Of course, developers love to break the rules, but it comes at the cost of bugs, lack of scalability and technical debt.  Which nostr is now swimming in, and no one wants to admit it.  Eventually they will have to.

If you let nostr be nostr, then you can let a database be a database.  You can let the cloud be the cloud, and so on.  Everything just works when you use the right tool for the right job.

Just like the LAMP (Linux-Apache-Mysql-PHP) stack allowed different techs to specialize in what they are good at, and avoid what they are bad at.  But all working together are greater than the sum of the parts.  That's how facebook was built, by an unexceptional programmer, in 2 weeks, and we're nowhere near to a facebook on nostr after 4 years, even with talented front end coders.

If you have a mentality of "nostr or nothing", you will most likely end up with nothing.  The solution is simple, just let nostr be nostr, and everything esle falls out.

European Court of Justice: Police may search phone for minor crimes

The European Court of Justice has ruled that police services may search the telephones of persons involved in minor crimes. EU member states must have a clear legislative framework for this and prior permission is required for non-urgent cases.

"If access to data on mobile phones is restricted to serious crimes, this could seriously limit the investigative capabilities of the authorities," the Court wrote in a press release . According to the Court, the risk of impunity for criminal offences could also increase in that case. The Court stipulates that EU Member States must have a legislative framework in place that specifies with sufficient precision when and in which cases an interference with a person's private life is legally valid, and in which cases it is not. Law enforcement agencies that wish to access data on a data subject's mobile phone must, in non-urgent cases, obtain prior consent. Such consent may be granted by a judge or by an independent administrative authority. The data subject whose data is accessed must also be informed of the grounds on which such consent was given.

The European Court of Justice is providing further clarification on a recent court case in Austria, in which a suspect's mobile phone was accessed by the police. The suspect, who was arrested after being caught with 85 grams of cannabis, had sued the police for taking his phone and attempting to search it.

Clouds in the shape of a portal..in Tennessee. shows a circular cloud formation with the sun shining through, creating a ring of light. This is likely a result of a rare weather phenomenon called a "fallstreak hole", also known as a "hole punch cloud".
It occurs when the water droplets in the cloud are supercooled, meaning they are below freezing but haven't yet frozen into ice crystals. When something disturbs the cloud, like an airplane passing through, it can cause the supercooled droplets to freeze rapidly, falling out of the cloud and leaving a hole. https://image.nostr.build/7fbe7a8aa9a67294995119b62f14934e27b355df1daf39ba21f670dd4b2eb388.jpg https://image.nostr.build/15d092c99d40b65ec6280eeb5e32ea903cb8b6928cba38e102efb94001b44fe0.jpg https://image.nostr.build/37af792e2d027310108104f169866d33dcf34e5d0be447dc7b1d2adae738d13e.jpg https://image.nostr.build/8f9c75124379b6dc85d82eaf1cb1c1e78e3f38aa38af42dea8548afe3c02e0a6.jpg

This is really an under rated client that does the simple things well.  Most of the time "it just works".


Newton was a great mind and Lucasian professor.  Hawking, who was also Lucasian professor, titled his book "On the shoulders of giants".  The theory goes that he was trolling Robert Hooke when he wrote that phrase.  My view is that he was referring to some of the great thinkers of the past, such as Kepler, Bracho, Galileo.  But Newton as an alchemist was probably refering to John Dee, who founded Trinity College, Cambridge.  Dee was the greatest mathematician of his age, and wrote the Monas, which is still not deciphered.  But the best guess is that the glyph is to transform things from a lower nature to a higher nature.  That is cypherpunk af.  True cypherpunk.  Satoshi dematerialized this idea by turning inert hard drives into digital gold.  Newton got a few things wrong, such as light particles and relative motion.  He was also first Lord of the Mint, his job was to prevent double spend, which was punishable by death.  Satoshi follows in a long tradtion of what we call cypherpunks today, and what were called al-chemists, in the past.

Happy Birthday, Giovanni Battista Piranesi! Born on October 4, 1720, Piranesi was an Italian artist, architect, and engraver, best known for his extraordinary etchings of Rome and his imaginative series of architectural prints. His works captured the grandeur of ancient Roman ruins and helped elevate the city’s cultural status in the European imagination.
https://m.primal.net/LLDM.png

Piranesi grew up near Venice and trained as an architect before moving to Rome in 1740, where the city’s ruins inspired him to focus on etchings that would preserve its architectural legacy. He quickly gained fame for his Vedute di Roma (Views of Rome), a series of detailed and dramatic views of Roman monuments and ruins that combined both accuracy and artistic flair. These prints not only became highly sought-after by tourists but also played a crucial role in shaping European views of Rome as a timeless, majestic city.
https://m.primal.net/LLDW.png

One of his most famous series, Carceri d'Invenzione (Imaginary Prisons), showcased his ability to blend realism with the fantastical. These prints depict massive, labyrinthine structures that evoke a sense of mystery and awe. Piranesi’s visionary approach in these works has influenced architects, artists, and writers for generations, inspiring a sense of the sublime.https://m.primal.net/LLDY.png

Piranesi’s contributions to art and architecture go beyond his etchings. His passionate defense of Roman architecture in his writings and artworks helped reignite interest in classical forms, laying the groundwork for the later Neoclassical movement. He also influenced archaeology by encouraging the preservation of ancient ruins and drawing attention to their cultural significance.
https://m.primal.net/LLDa.png

Today, Piranesi is remembered for his technical brilliance, architectural imagination, and his role in preserving and reshaping Europe’s view of ancient Rome. His works continue to inspire awe and admiration, combining precision with a grand vision of the past and future.
https://m.primal.net/LLDd.png

These "on this day" posts are inspired by my love of the greatest minds of the Western canon. It is in this spirit that I post these tidbits for the #bitcoin community as a way to bring beauty and knowledge to the world.

Why support Trump for this? RFK also said the same thing. You compared these two in a podcast and you know one is saying what needs to be said and the other is articulate. I'm not following why based people are falling for this. The dude wanted Assange assassinated and could have pardoned him, Ross, or Snowden, but didn't.


One thing I've come to appreciate about fiction writing is that it's as much problem solving as it is creativity.

Creativity is the spark of it. You start with a story idea. Vibes.

And then there's the basics. You have to put in your hours on reading fiction, and looking up tutorials on dialogue, exposition, structure, etc. Basically, spend a thousand hours reading things you like and reviewing all the mostly-right rules so that you can selectively break them when need be.

But the majority of the time actually spent on the craft, is problem solving. And as an engineer, that appeals to me. You have a series of scenes that need to happen for the story to occur, and have to figure out how to fill in the gaps to make one lead to another properly, i.e. mostly invisibly to the reader as though they're immersed and it's totally organic and really happened. And then you realize a plot hole with one of your scenes, and have to figure out how to tweak that scene or other scenes to fix the plot hole without creating more plot holes in a butterfly effect.

It clicks all the same fun challenge sensors that my brain has when it comes to engineering design or financial analysis.

Growing Nostr is hard. Not because we don't have the tools, but because it requires the hard work of many of us, not just the few. Decentralization is great, however this means that no centralized growth team is going to step in and do the work that's needed. We'll have to rely on a multitude of people to accomplish this. These people will be cultivating and nurturing Nostr's growing ecosystem. They're seeking out unique communities, on-boarding new users, and educating them on the tools at hand, so that new users can create their own spaces on Nostr.

These have been initiatives of mine since the beginning days here. I love building communities, helping people use technology, and speaking about my passions.

Many people across Nostr are working on similar initiatives, trying to #grownostr and foster community. nostr:npub1hz5alqscpp8yjrvgsdp2n4ygkl8slvstrgvmjca7e45w6644ew7sewtysa is one of them. We spoke at extent last week about her current project. She volunteered at the Nostr Booth that I organized at nostr:npub167n5w6cj2wseqtmk26zllc7n28uv9c4vw28k2kht206vnghe5a7stgzu3r a  few months ago, got purple pilled in the process, and is now planning on doing similar initiatives at three Latin American conferences coming up soon.

I had a conversation with the organizer of LaBitConf in Prague, who expressed a strong interest in having a Nostr presence at his upcoming conference. He asked that I replicate the same level of involvement he witnessed in Prague, including a booth, speakers, panels, and more. He clearly recognized the significance of Nostr and was eager to feature it prominently at his event. Unfortunately, I had to decline, as it’s not feasible for me to attend every conference. However, this is where the strength of the Nostr community comes in—others can step up and make it happen.

This is what Tanja is doing! Check out her project.

Interestingly, these seminal works were published in the mid-sixties, early-seventies and I’d say that we don’t yet understand the full implications of this ‘electric society’ we are in.

I am trying to crunch the key ideas into my #nostr efforts. At the risk of sounding over-simplified, here we go:

1. The nsec/npub enables the extension of the self into the digital realm.

2. The model (signed events) is the medium that shapes us.

HISTORY TO BE REWRITTEN?

Archaeologists have long suspected that some of the "heads" on Easter Island had a buried body. At the same time, the "giant heads," several meters high, were thought to be an exception. In fact, if these heads had an underlying body, they would have had to be real stone giants, at least 20 meters tall, to meet the proportions.

Recent excavations have shown that the "giant heads" on Easter Island are actually buried "stone giants" whose heads emerged from the earth.. How did statues weighing several tons end up almost 20 meters deep? If they did it on purpose, how did they manage to do it without breaking them? Easter Island is little more than a small island. Where did they get the manpower to bury dozens and dozens of "stone giants" in the middle of the Ocean? Unanswered questions.

The Egyptians were able to do similar things, but they had the manpower of an empire at their disposal. What labor force did the islanders of tiny Easter Island have at their disposal? The same thing happened in Nan Madol. A mysterious people built a metropolis on a small island in the middle of the Ocean. Of course, it is possible to do that. But provided you have the manpower of an empire. But what manpower was available on a totally isolated island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean?

The same thing happened on the border between Turkey and Syria. An entire megalithic complex was completely buried, no one knows by whom, no one knows why. This site has been called "Göbekli Tepe," meaning "the belly hill." But under that hill is one of the deepest mysteries of humankind. Recent studies with georadars have revealed that there are dozens of sites similar to Göbekli Tepe "buried" many meters deep. Was it a civilization unknown to us that later disappeared due to a natural cataclysm? Or what?

Several scientific articles appearing in the famous scientific journal Nature tell us that over 10,000 years ago a series of comets passed through Earth's atmosphere, shattering into thousands of pieces. The Earth was hit by a veritable bombardment of fragments that struck at least four continents. Nothing was ever the same again. There was a real "Apocalypse" in prehistory, which wiped out an unknown number of "homo sapiens." Do the ruins of Easter Island correspond to those of Göbekli Tepe?

America is not a Democracy. America is a Constitutional Republic.

That is a good thing because our Constitution exists to protect individual rights from the whims of would-be totalitarians and the easily-sway-able masses.

"Our First Amendment stands as a major block to the ability to be able to hammer [disinformation] out of existence. What we need is to win...the right to govern by hopefully winning enough votes that you’re free to be able to implement change." - John Kerry

When the Constitution stands in the way of would-be totalitarians, they naturally suggest we disregard it… After all, freedom of speech can be quite dangerous (to the would-be totalitarians trying to centralize power), so perhaps it’s better to just get rid of that pesky First Amendment…

“To fight disinformation.”
“For your safety.”
“For the greater good.”
“To save democracy.”

Of course, the greatest spreaders of disinformation are the totalitarians themselves. They fear free speech because free speech removes the State’s ability to monopolize “The Truth.”

When speaking the truth becomes a crime, dissent itself is criminalized.

This is their goal.

“Our first amendment stands as a major block to the ability to just hammer [disinformation] out of existence”

This is actually a really interesting clip because Kerry is entirely correct in his overall analysis - democracies cannot function in this age.

When they cannot wrangle people to their narratives any more they lose their legitimacy which (rightly) terrifies them. That’s what is really behind these attempts at controlling social media across the world. https://v.nostr.build/8CowVItDMeMTAj23.mp4

WoT should not exist at the relay level.

Users have no granular control.

Unlike a WoT implementation at the client level. Prime example being Nostur.

Nostur hides the spam and replies outside your WoT, but still empowers you to view them, should you choose.

This is freedom.

We must push for WoT, but only through clients who let the user have full control to decide what they can see.


I have a right to listen to any state-funded propaganda outlet I want to, and that includes RT.

US doublespeak is just ... wow.  Only idiots (unfortunately there are plenty of those) can follow what the US government says in their self-contradictory statements packed with heavy judgemental Russell conjugation to try to mask the contradictions.


AI deep fakes are free speech.

I'm not saying I like people deceiving each other with these. I'm saying nobody is authorized or trusted to determine what is and isn't a deep fake, or when a deep fake can or cannot be used, or what lies are done for good reasons and which ones aren't.  Those decisiosn are eminenty personal and always will be.

We all have to adjust to the changes that are coming at us fast.

I am sorry to see so many relays now require AUTH for reading.  I don't AUTH to read.  I want to read anonymously, just like I can read RSS or websites anonymously.  Why require AUTH for reading (other than for DMs)?

NOTE: I totally understand requiring AUTH for writing.  And if I reply to somebody and their inbox wants me to AUTH to send that reply, I get it. That is a good policy to prevent reply spam.

It feels to me that nostr is splitting, and a bunch of relays that have taken this AUTH-to-read policy are now unavailable.


After having added web-of-trust to gossip, I think that 2-degrees of separation is good enough for now.  All the people I follow, plus all the people that they follow.  I follow 262 people.  They follow 17751 people.  That is 67x as many people.

Some people are suggesting 3-degrees of separation.  I didn't try it, but I suspect this would not grow another 67-fold because the nostr community isn't big enough for that.  So if you do 3-degrees of separation today, you'll get just about everybody on nostr that isn't a spammer... which is ideally what we want.  So go for it if you dare.

However, there is a cost to maintaining 3-degrees of separation data.  As nostr grows, your table will grow to probably over a million people. And you will need to keep the contact list data for all of the people at 2-degrees of separation, so that as they follow and unfollow people you can apply increments and decrements to those people's WoT score.  For me that is 17751 lists of public keys... which I feel is too much data for a client to be maintaining just to slightly reduce spam false positives.

Feel free to disagree if you feel the juice is worth the squeeze.

#politics #opinion

Netanyahu gave a speech at the UN general assembly. Most people walked out. The place was only about 1/4 full when he took the podium. A large crowd entered the gallery up above. Apparently he brought his own audience to clap for him.  Remember, the General Assembly are the diplomatic representatives from all the countries of the world. This expresses the general view of Israel worldwide.

He claimed Hezbollah "put a missile in every kitchen, a rocket in every garage." This is apparently a pretext to strike at all civilian targets in Lebanon (many recent airstrikes by the IDF have hit weapons caches as evidenced by many secondary explosions and/or missiles flying wildly out from the site bombed, I don't dispute that, but in every kitchen? in every garage?)

They levelled 6 apartment buildings in Beirut claiming there were military underneath, and that the apartment buildings were "human shields". Despite whether or not there were military underneath (this is still to be determined), it is a war crime to strike that location given the massive civilian deaths it caused.

Remember, military officers can go home to their wives and children at night. That does not mean they are using their families as human shields. N12 News in Israel claims the strike killed Zeinab Nasrallah (Hassan Nasrallah's daughter), indicating that this was likely Hassan Nasrallah's residence and not a military installation.

Netanyahu does not care about war crimes anymore because he is already a war criminal. What incentive does he have now to avoid further war crimes? None. He continues to trash Israel's international standing, turning Israel into a recidivist terrorist state.


#politics #opinion

I'm probably too one-sided against Israel.  So let me make a case for Israel.

Hezbollah has been firing rockets at it for almost a year. Those rockets are not guided and their targets are not certain, making them war crimes and "terrorism".  They come from various places, mostly from valleys in the mountains, but also from residential areas.  If Israel is held to the standard of "you cannot use war crimes or terrorism in response" that puts Israel at a distinct disadvantage and they just lose. Of course they aren't going to just sit there and take it.  When they did air strikes on Southern Lebanon they hit many civilian residential targets which then experienced many subsequent explosions (indicating they hit a cache of weapons) or several rockets came flying out in spirals like a fireworks stand (again indicating that they hit a cache of weapons).  You can find the videos. I can attest to seeing some of these on live-stream so they aren't AI generated.

Now I believe that Hezbollah's aims are noble, to pressure Israel to stop the genocide. But their methods include terrorism, war crimes, and intentionally placing military assets among cilivilan neighborhoods.

Just because one side is committing crimes doesn't mean the other side isn't.

Many innocent Lebanese are dying, as well as many innocent Israelis, and war is hell.

I predict it will get much worse, because Israel has just repeatedly escalated over and over without even IMHO a good reason to have done so, leaving their enemies little choice than to escalate and possibly even do a ground invasion of Israel or S Lebanon or both.

I hear there are 40,000 Hezbollah ground troops in the Syrian Golan Heights ready to invade.
I hear there are 40,000 US troops throughout the middle east, as well as new troops amassing at Cyprus and the 101st Airborne.
Russia has a naval base at Tartus (North of Beirut in Syria) a city that Israel attacked four days ago (I don't know what the target was). They have an S-500 here, the placement of which put an end to Israeli fighter jet activity in Syria (Russia said they would shoot them down). Russia should be able to shoot down Israeli fighter jets attacking Beirut, but they haven't done so and I don't believe they ever told Israel they would shoot down their planes in Lebanon, only in Syria.

There are lots of ways this could pay out.

How to collapse NATO:

Step 1: Turkey incites Israel, with rhetoric, supplying Israel's enemies, maybe even launches against them.
Step 2: Israel attacks Turkey (the 2nd most powerful NATO country)
Step 3: NATO countries now have to defend Turkey due to article 5
Step 4: USA breaks with NATO and defends Israel (of course they would)

There is no mechanism to expel a NATO member.
Turkey is very pro-Palestine and has threatened to invade Israel and forcibly keep the peace.
Putin would love to weaken or collapse NATO, and this lever has to be on his mind.


In general, trusting relays is a less-good solution than trusting in yourself.

I genuinely can't wait to see where Nostr is in 5yrs. We've already had a lot of great development in the past ~2yrs. Sure, it hasn't always been perfect. Projects have come and gone and NIPs can be all over the place. But the core of Nostr is alive and well and when people's voices are trampled upon elsewhere, they'll be at home here.


Here in El Salvador I come to realise how tyrannical Canada has become.
Almost 50% of the people in the bitcoin space here are Canadians and it's the largest foreign nationality in El Salvador.

I've met already two persons who's bank accounts were frozen.

The government is going after free speech with the introduction of Bill C-63.

People can bring in complaints for zero cost.  The incentive structure is aligned for the accuser. An approved accusition (which is decided centralised) has zero cost, but might bring the accuser 20000 $, while the accused person can be fined up to 50000$.
Penalties are reaching up to life long imprisonment.

Furthermore just on the premise, that you might cause harm online the government can ban you from social media.

The first thing that is taken away in the decline to tyrannism is freedom of speech. (Besides money of course!)

People will start to snitch for reasons, that aren't existent and you will find yourself in the Sowjet union pretty soon!

El Salvador is truly the Ark! 🇸🇻🌅

* ReplyGuy-free experience: automatically hides content by users not in your social graph
* "Unseen" feed. Click "home" or switch tabs to refresh.
* "Adventure" feed. Shows content from everyone in your social graph.
* Social graph based fast user search
* Better scroll position retention on back navigation

"Add to home screen" for better mobile use experience & push notifications.

This new version is based on NDK. I think it's a good idea for web devs to work together on shared core libraries.

Not perfect, but I'll keep working on it! If you preferred the previous Iris version, you should use https://snort.social which is basically it.

We had a Cashu dev call yesterday and four (!!) new wallets based on NIP-60 were presented. NIP-60 is a standard for storing ecash on no:str relays, encrypted with your keys.

You open a wallet for the first time, login with your nsec, and boom, your balance appears.

Don't like this wallet? Switch to another one, enter your nsec, and your ecash appears there too.

This is pretty insane. If you're building a wallet, you're immediately plugged in into a social net. Now you can also carry your money around from app to app, or website to website.

If you're a Cashu dev, you should join our monthly open dev calls. Hit me up!


I would really love to know why #Christian churches in the United States love to go on their fancy missions trips to tell themselves they are doing good works, meanwhile there are countless people that are lost and unsaved in the very city that their church operates in. This concept has never seemed genuine to me.

But want to know the worst part? Most of these churches that do this do not even understand grace nor the message of salvation. They adhere to Calvinistic & Lordship Salvation teaching. Telling people to invite Jesus into your heart; give your life to Jesus; say a Sinner’s prayer; or ‘accept Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior’ are found absolutely nowhere in scripture, NOWHERE. Why isn’t what Jesus said to Martha enough?

Is not the Gospel of John’s very purpose to tell unbelievers how they are to be born again? Did Jesus not say on countless occasions that we are to believe in Him for eternal life? Has the Lord not revealed to us in John 20:31 that the entirety of John’s gospel was written so that we may come to know that we may have life by believing in Christ?

There is not even a political nor social issue that infuriates me more than the heretical views many people have (and TEACH) on soteriology. Yes #Bitcoin is important for this life, but it is absolutely meaningless if we do not have Christ as the foundation of our lives before we use tools like Nostr and Bitcoin to create a more just and purpose-driven Christ-centered world.

For it has been stated clearly — “And if by grace, then it is no longer of works; otherwise grace is no longer grace. But if it is of works, it is no longer grace; otherwise work is no longer work.” (Romans 11:6) It can ONLY be one or the other, and it is certainly not of works.

It is God’s very grace that saves us THROUGH our faith. Faith is the instrument we use to obtain the salvation that God has freely made available to every single human being.

John 6:47 — Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me has everlasting life.

This is present possession. We are believing in Jesus FOR the eternal life that he promises. (see 1 Timothy 1:16). The moment we believe in Jesus, you HAVE (present possession) eternal life, permanently, and will not come into judgment.

How glorious is the Lord, for He sustains us always, and His name shall be praised for the rest of our days. #faith #bible

Been exploring alternative social media.


Alex is right.  Moving nostr in the direction of Social Credit comes at a cost.  New users will have a worse time.

nostr:note1wrfrdmjuuw2rapdmclf4jzka0dh3uzevca87xyazgf92psc4z5qsmwp6ax


Great question! Many who claim to know or be a cypherpunk often aren’t. There’s a manifesto by Eric Hughes, but it’s really an extension of an older idea: using mathematical techniques (cyphers) to improve your world. This approach goes back to innovations that shaped the modern world.

The core principle is to use current technology to make things better, without needing permission from central authorities—the 'punk' part. It’s mostly about privacy, a human right that needs defending, but also extends to broader freedoms and protections. Satoshi is a great example, believing in privacy and financial freedom, coming from the cypherpunk community that inspired Bitcoin. Still more work to be done!

https://www.activism.net/cypherpunk/manifesto.html


Nostr is being pushed as 'impossible to censor,' but that’s a stretch. It started as 'censorship-resistant,' which was honest. Now it’s verging on dishonesty and could mislead people—activists, for example—into thinking it’s like a cypherpunk project that protects them, when it doesn’t. Assange protected his sources and paid for it; with Nostr, the activists could end up paying the price.

On the technical side, this narrative is harmful too. Developers hesitate on basic spam-blocking to avoid being seen as anti-free speech, leading to degraded feeds and frustrated users. Censorship resistance shouldn't be a psy-op we play on ourselves for the benefit of spammers. Nostr improves on the status quo by preventing platform lock-in and making it harder to cancel legit users, and that’s already a valuable step forward.


Nostr, as it stands through the NIPs, is heavily geared towards being a Twitter clone. It doesn’t help that it's driven by a drivechain maxi, which has unfortunately sidelined a lot of potential financial innovation. Cashu is a rare exception that breaks that trend. We could be seeing so much more, but Nostr isn't really set up for it. Your friends have a point, and I’m glad you’re one of the few working to create the change we need. Cashu is one in a thousand, but there should be a thousand projects like it.


What you’re admitting to here went beyond disruption. Targeting devs, especially while some were on vacation, cost them time and money they can’t afford, and there were also serious cross-border implications. I hope actions like these are prosecuted where necessary. Nostr devs shouldn’t be treated like punching bags for testing theories.

Proper WoT is not just critical for nostr to work, it’s critical for the internet at large to work. (Although “nostr” here could be used interchangeably with “internet”)

Producing garbage is extremely cheap and getting increasingly cheaper, or, said another way, it’s getting increasingly more expensive to discern what is garbage.

You either go with an authority that helps you remove 99.99% of the existing garbage or you use an approach that, much like cryptography, makes the cost of putting garbage in front of your eyes asymmetrically expensive.

We’ve tried the authority-first approach and it has led to the current state of manipulation, polarization and reduction of individuals’ agency.


True bitcoiners are actually quite thoughtful problem solvers.  Not everyone that claims to be a bitcoiner is, many just bought some and blindly believe.  Ditto Nostr 😉

Simple, sharable steps to adopt a Proper Human Diet

1. Eliminate anything containing added sugar from your diet.
This sugar provides no benefit to your body and leads to high blood sugar, high insulin levels & chronic inflammation. This includes fruit juices which in many cases contain more sugar than a Coke.

2. Eliminate all grains & legumes from your diet. Wheat, rice, oats, corn, soybeans, etc. These have very little in the way of meaningful nutrition and contain 2 things to avoid; i. starch-long chains of sugar that break down into sugar in your body & ii. gluten-like inflammatory proteins that lead to chronic inflammation.

3. Eliminate seed oils from your diet. Canola, soybean, corn, peanut, sunflower, safflower, etc. These oils are new to the human diet and contain too much Omega-6 fatty acids that research has shown to lead to chronic inflammation in some people.

*** These 1st 3 steps will remove 100% of ultra-processed food from your diet and will give immediate results (in weeks) for 80% of people.

4. Make sure each meal contains meat, seafood or eggs. These foods were eaten by your ancestors for millions of years and are very nutrient-dense. Although many main-stream sources claim that these foods are inflammatory, we've seen bloodwork from 10,000's of people whose inflammatory markers go down on meat.

Carbohydrate Knob theory: Some people can tolerated more carbs than others. People who fatten easily or develop diabetes easily need to turn down their carb intake knob closer to zero. Young, active people can tolerate more natural carbs in their diet. Remember, there is no Need for carbs in the diet. As you turn down the Carb Intake Knob more & more you will be eating more meat, eggs & seafood...

Snacking: Snacking is never healthy, regardless of the snack. Eat discrete meals during the day separated by periods of not eating. Eating due to boredom or stress is never a healthy choice.

Plant Toxins: All plants use chemical defense chemicals to protect their parts, this is inarguable. Some plants are more toxic than others. Some people can tolerate these toxins more than others. Anyone suffering from inflammatory or auto-immune disease should try 90 days of Carnivore to see if they are reacting to the plant chemicals.

DAIRY: All mammals (you) can tolerate dairy as an infant. At about age 4-8 years most people (70% +/-) become lactose intolerant. That is not the only problem with dairy. Many people also become sensitive to the Caseins & Wheys in milk. This manifests in inflammatory conditions of the skin, joints, gut, mental... Dairy also contains caso-morphins that mimic morphine in the brain and can make dairy addictive to some people. This is good for keeping babies interested in mother's milk, but can cause adults to over eat/drink dairy for the good feeling. Some cheeses actually concentrate the caso-morphin content...

OK, that a good beginner course, I will answer every good question you ask here...

Thing that should not be normalized of the day:

Wearing glasses.

Human beings used to be able to see all distances just fine for their entire lives.

What happened?

SHORT ANSWER:

High-carbohydrate diets. All carbs break down into sugar, which glycate your cells and leads to inflammation across your entire body.

The capillaries in your eyes are extremely sensitive to this inflammation, so they're the first to start malfunctioning when you're metabolically unwell.

(Another early barometer for the dudes out there is your DICK. Yes, if you're dealing with ED at a young age and can't figure out why, go #carnivore and thank me later. But I digress...)

GM/PV☕☕✝

As Jesus passed by,
he saw a man named Matthew sitting at the customs post.
He said to him, "Follow me."
And he got up and followed him.
While he was at table in his house,
many tax collectors and sinners came
and sat with Jesus and his disciples.
The Pharisees saw this and said to his disciples,
"Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?"
He heard this and said,
"Those who are well do not need a physician, but the sick do.
Go and learn the meaning of the words,
I desire mercy, not sacrifice.
I did not come to call the righteous but sinners."✌💜🌅
