Private property should always be respected, except when a car alarm goes off at 5am and for literally hours. I think I have a natural right to destroy such car.

Olá, Brasil


GM, we've created a Brazilian #Ditto server! We're still working on the name. We are looking for feedback, and to make connections with Brazilian influencers. This is our time to shine, Nostr!

https://verdade.us


Escribiendo desde https://hispanostr.com/, un cliente de Nostr y relay para la comunidad hispana, la intención es curar contenido en español y mejorar la experiencia del usuario para aquellos que no tienen una buena conexión a Internet. Este servidor utiliza Ditto, lo que significa que solo te conectas a los relays para publicar, pero no para descargar eventos, ya que estos ya están almacenados en nuestra base de datos. Por lo tanto, el consumo de ancho de banda y la experiencia del usuario deberían mejorar.

Aviso importante: Este es un experimento sin ninguna garantía, y no prometo que el servicio perdure, aunque es lo que me gustaría.

Aviso adicional: Ditto aún se encuentra en desarrollo y tiene algunos fallos conocidos.

A Brazilian justice just ordered Apple and Google to ban not only X but also any VPN app. There’s also a $10k/day fine for any person using a VPN to access X. Unbelievable.

- Many walkable, green, safe areas
- Cheap! Definitely cheaper than all previous locations
- Visa-free for 100+ countries (see https://www.migraciones.gov.ar/accesible/indexdnm.php?visas#U)
- Day trip options, or take advantage of AEP (an airport located in the heart of the city) to visit other local destinations
- Experience first hand a society that endured decades of populism and hyperinflation!

Best weather: March-April or September to December

Depending on the month, maybe piggyback off LaBitConf 2025 (Bitcoin conference, https://labitconf.com) or Nerdearla (a free, world-class event in software/tech/science that had over 10,000 in person participants in 2023, https://nerdear.la/en/)

There is a word buried in here that I think is key... OSMOSIS

Not only for broader freedom tech adoption, but for being more open to other points of view. There are great minds out there that don't yet "get" freedom tech -for whatever reason- and from who we can learn a ton.

I'm personally also looking forward to expand my horizons, and talk to more people outside my usual circles, and why not plant a few freedom tech trojan horses along the way.

alright😄


Don't you think Amazon has plenty of review data? They can verify purchases. Why do they keep using stars?


Badges are great but we need a relative rating


Sure, I will only be persuaded when I actually see a computation yielding decent ratings from zaps and comments. Sorry if I'm very skeptical.


Zaps and replies are high signal, true, but you need relative measuring here which they don't provide.

You might have an excellent app that got 2x 21 sats, vs a mediocre app that got 10x 5 sats but simply because it was discovered a bit earlier. The computation will give 2 stars to the former and 5 to the latter?

Plus, you introduce another thing to trust (the computation). Ratings are signed by users and are incredibly low friction - in the context of wanting to rate something, write, zap, etc


Not writing ratings yet, we were just talking about it. nostr:npub149p5act9a5qm9p47elp8w8h3wpwn2d7s2xecw2ygnrxqp4wgsklq9g722q is totally against them. I'm not, I think it's a short way of expressing an otherwise written opinion (plus its low friction).

I would use NIP-32 (on a NIP-94 file metadata) for rating a release. I don't think it's equivalent to rating a whole repository. First because it's fine grained (release) and because it's the actual product the user is using. The repo is way more general and upstream.

Ugh I know what happened. I have ~/.cargo/bin/ngit too (that one is 0.0.1) - for some reason that one was loaded before in $PATH. But weird that loads the zs version (1.4.3) in other terminal session. So the zapstore cli is working correctly. I'll look at the publishing hanging issue


That is so strange. I'll dig deeper


Welcome!


Use this tool: https://github.com/zapstore/zapstore-cli/releases/tag/0.0.4

You need a zapstore.yaml file, I can help you write it. Is the APK on Github?


When I try that yaml snippet on 0.0.4 I get this:

https://image.nostr.build/f12c580a0eb6aed2eaecf911210112073885e8ece85507150ac8a3ed6de080ed.png

It correctly pulls 1.4.3. What did you see when publishing? Can you try again?


Damn you're right. I've tried lots of other package and always pulls the latest release, wth? I'll have a look


Today for the first time in zap.store , a developer has published their own app 🤩

That is ngit by nostr:nprofile1qqs2qzx779ted7af5rt04vzw3l2hpzfgtk0a2pw6t2plaz4d2734vngpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzv9hxgtcppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyv9kh2uewd9hj7hycrvd (a CLI package)

We'll be reaching out to more CLI and Android devs to follow suit!

Oh nvm. I see it works now!


There is no zapstore cli for windows yet. I have nowhere to build or test.


I know, the relay will check event validity but not specific tags. I'll add the validation client side


Do you have an APK release?


Platform is an array and roughly based on `uname -sm`


I see, the YAML is the issue. Try the following:

```
ngit:
  cli:
    identifier: ngit
    name: ngit
    repository: https://github.com/DanConwayDev/ngit-cli
    artifacts:
      ngit-aarch64-apple-darwin.tar.gz:
        platforms: [darwin-arm64]
      ngit-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.tar.gz:
        platforms: [linux-x86_64]
```

Fixed: platforms (they need to follow a specific format, will document later), no need to specify executable because the tarballs have ngit (package name == executable name) at the root

Can you retry with this snippet? You may have to use the env var OVERWRITE=true


Probably something like https://safing.io/spn/

Good point. There are likely workarounds but blocking IPs from the top 20 VPN providers will leave most of current VPN users vulnerable


VPN IPs are well known and already blocked by many sites.

ISPs are few, heavily centralized and will comply with any regulation.

It's just a matter of time until countries demand blocking connections at the ISP level, on the basis of whatever the "current threat" is.

Are we preparing for that?

I used iOS a lot and actually love the UX.

But the App Store introduces a real master/slave dynamic

Apple can also remotely prevent you from resetting your phone.

Most think Apple sells iPhones, they don't, they rent you their hardware for an unspecified amount of time and subject to conditions.

Thank you Riga.


speed is the most important feature.

being able to send a note/post via text, have it fully render, and instantly load when someone clicks on it, is one of the biggest things that will help build network effect.

communities, such as ditto, and giving people the option to make them private and encrypted, is a net new feature not found on any other platform that will draw people to the nostr social app protocol, and be the best onboarding and discovery tool out there. people care a lot more about privacy than censorship-resistance.

getting as much content and information on here, welcoming of the bots and agentic AI, will allow this protocol to be the only one that can definitively state: "see everything." especially since no individual/corporation/government can delete your content or account.

this is what i would prioritize. the past two years of nostr has been about exploring the breadth of the protocol. great! it's now time to go deep and focus on quality and differentiated experiences. not copies of copies.


Great to see you brother and keep up that great work!

Why Nostr is struggling…

There is too much of an overlap with X, not only in the feature sets among the primary applications, but more importantly, in the kind of audience that Nostr is catering to.

Sure..censorship resistance at the protocol level is a differentiator, but the to the average person, you may as well be talking gibberish. They don’t know wtf a protocol is in the first place - let alone why it matters for censorship resistance to happen at that level, or more importantly, WHY they should trust Nostr to deliver on that promise. “Bcoz nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m said so” is not an argument.

————

Bluesky is a case in point here.

It’s got a VERY similar feature set to X, claims to be open source / censorship resistant (similar narrative to Nostr), and is growing MUCH faster than Nostr, bc it has captured a key audience, ie; people with TDS and EDS (Elon Derangement Syndrome).

https://www.reuters.com/world/uk/bluesky-signups-surge-uk-amid-musks-row-with-government-over-riots-2024-08-13/?

I’ve been on there a few times, and the content quality is enough to make you want to throw up….but at the very least, it’s working for that kind of content, and for the people who want it.

I don’t have a direct answer here..but I think it’s something to do with the over-emphasis on technicals.

nostr:npub1az9xj85cmxv8e9j9y80lvqp97crsqdu2fpu3srwthd99qfu9qsgstam8y8 mentioned increasing the emphasis on design the other day. I agree this is a move in the right direction. We’re taking a very design-focused approach with nostr:npub15xd2mmjnh3caykh77djsv73e0zkrp42jp5mwerx8f4m6su40wdvss7t3l3 (we’ll have ALOT more to show in the next 6wks).

That being said, it’s not enough.
IMO, Nostr is technically mature enough for us to go out there and talk about it to more people, and build a narrative BEYOND the 500 of us that are talking to each other on here.

People like nostr:npub1l2vyh47mk2p0qlsku7hg0vn29faehy9hy34ygaclpn66ukqp3afqutajft or nostr:npub1dergggklka99wwrs92yz8wdjs952h2ux2ha2ed598ngwu9w7a6fsh9xzpc can correct me if I am wrong here. Maybe there’s alot more to do technically.

But if I am right, I’d like to see more initiatives that are marketing oriented being supported by nostr:npub17xvf49kht23cddxgw92rvfktkd3vqvjgkgsdexh9847wl0927tqsrhc9as and nostr:npub10pensatlcfwktnvjjw2dtem38n6rvw8g6fv73h84cuacxn4c28eqyfn34f and other coalitions. Maybe we even need a council of Nostr businesses, who together pool some funds to help drive some marketing initiatives?

Whatever the case, we need to expand upon the Nostr narrative, make it more compelling and speak to more people about it.
At the very least, we have to conquer then Bitcoiners. If we can’t get the segment who are into freedom money onto the freedom of speech network, we’re DOA. That’s a first step.

I know nostr:npub1hz5alqscpp8yjrvgsdp2n4ygkl8slvstrgvmjca7e45w6644ew7sewtysa is working on a very cool initiative in relation to this. The Nostr Booth is IMO a great way to make Nostr more “real” for bitcoiners by having a physical presence at all the conferences.

I know nostr:npub1utx00neqgqln72j22kej3ux7803c2k986henvvha4thuwfkper4s7r50e8 + nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6 are doing some Podcast outreach. That’s super important too. nostr:npub16vrkgd28wq6n0h77lqgu8h4fdu0eapxgyj0zqq6ngfvjf2vs3nuq5mp2va and crew are putting on Nostriga. Amazing. nostr:npub16c0nh3dnadzqpm76uctf5hqhe2lny344zsmpm6feee9p5rdxaa9q586nvr / nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg are doing great things with nostr:npub1spdnfacgsd7lk0nlqkq443tkq4jx9z6c6ksvaquuewmw7d3qltpslcq6j7, etc on the content side. I’ve got some things up my sleeve personally which I will begin to do once nostr:npub15xd2mmjnh3caykh77djsv73e0zkrp42jp5mwerx8f4m6su40wdvss7t3l3 is in a position to represent a NEW kind of Nostr-product..

But we need MOAR..

And…we also need to find another angle that is NOT about censorship resistance. That’s clearly not working against X.

I don’t know the EXACT narrative or spin, but it has to be more “running towards” than “running from”.

More white pill, less black pill.

Anyway.
I will probably turn this into an article. I’ve been thinking more and more about “writing in public” as we build Satlantis, and sharing more about how we’re thinking about growing a “network product” on top of a “network protocol”.

If you think this was valuable, please repoast so more people can see and get involved in the discussion.

Right on dude


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

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

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

Please shill me all projects that you know of that combine Nostr and Cashu.

No matter how big or small. Making a list for my talk at Nostriga. 🙏


I go fly fishing


can't find your linked long-form


Thanks!


Love your metaphors 😅 I agree with you. Still relays won't necessarily be directly monetized. We'll see. We need to learn from high volume low margin industries like -I think- online travel agencies (kayak etc) where data is sort of open, volume high and competition fierce


Barely anything is monetized these days so I don't have actual great examples, but Damus making money with premium subscriptions can subsidize their relay operations. Similar for zap.store


repair them!


PSA 🚨

Without a direct innovation in the monetization structure of #Nostr I think we should expect a highly successful #Nostr to evolve like other protocols before it. I think there are 2 most likely comparisons:

1. #Nostr ends up looking more like email. It is still open and decentralized, but dominated by a small group of companies with enormous insight into everything that is happening and acting as huge semi-centralized custodians of everyone's data and messages.

2. #Nostr ends up looking more like RSS & podcasts. It is open and decentralized, but most users and all serious content creators pay for hosting platforms (relays) that sell it with a bunch of other features, analytics, and secondary services attached to it - or built in advertising and monetization splits.

Understand I'm not predicting that it will go either direction or that only these two options exist. I'm saying that --- without a significant innovation in the monetization method --- it will very likely take one of these two paths. Also understand that neither of these are bad outcomes, per se. Both present a VASTLY better internet sovereignty and user/server power dynamic than the current Web 2, but this is far from realizing #Nostr's true potential.

I only say this to get people thinking about the fact that we still have a very serious problem funding relays at scale, and it hasn't been solved, it's mostly been covered up with some very generous grants and *extremely* generous volunteer developers and relay runners. But it WILL have to be addressed or nostr's success will come hand in hand with some hard truths about how we use it and what we think it is.

It won't be unlike the people who thought all #Bitcoin transactions were going to be free forever, settle instantly, and that the whole world could be sovereign with their own UTXOs. That's simply not how it worked, and we had to have a 4 year, vicious, all out civil war within the community when we were finally forced to come to terms with that reality.


"Confirmation bias" is a psyop to make you gaslight yourself. Your biases don't come from nowhere, they are in fact a product of your deepest held beliefs. That doesn't make them true, and they should be challenged, but beware people who try to alienate your from your own mind.


Agree with Pip, most relays will be paid for by monetizing other related services


Very interesting. I don't have much time for zapthreads but thank you for all the improvements. nostr:npub1xdtducdnjerex88gkg2qk2atsdlqsyxqaag4h05jmcpyspqt30wscmntxy interested in some of this?


What I've learned about Nostr by improving ZapThreads and how do we improve NIP-07 UX

https://codonaft.com/improved-zapthreads

I forked ZapThreads to add something:
- Voting for comments (Reddit and YouTube-like)
- Comment removal
- Auto thread collapsing for too long discussions
- Customizable comments filtering, sanitizing and ranking
- Moderation (reporting and mute-listing)
- Relays retrieval from browser extension and from relay list
- Optional persistent sessions
- Relay capabilities testing using NIP-11
- Callbacks for better website integration
- Bugfixes and performance optimizations

This is NIP-07 only version (no anonymous posting/raw nsec authentication).

There is a lot of censorship going on in the UK right now. Social Media companies are being forced to delete posts, deplatform accounts which are deemed to be spreading "misinformation" and "hate speech".

Of course the UK government is the self appointed Ministry of Truth.

If you are an Englishman, please advise your fellow citizens to join Nostr.
We should be using this platform to return people their voices, other than shitposting/cringeposting and being nerds.

Personally, I am in of the opinion that western governments have become too big and wield way too much influence for the level of competence they display. We need to get it through people's head that Bitcoin is how you defund these parasites with dictatorial aspirations.

Thanks!


Maybe time to try that one!


That makes sense, forgot about Muun


Thanks. I rarely need to do operations like this so don't care much about fees, just getting it done quick


Nostr the culture and nostr the tech are different things and as I understood he's not as bullish because of the former

Sure lots of things could be improved

To be honest, I ultimately don't care what works so long as it allows an open sovereign identity and data portability

Absolutely insane


We should face the issue of Nostr's lack of positive economic incentives like Bitcoin. The more people use #Bitcoin , the more miners, infrastructure providers, mining machine manufacturers, and trading platforms can survive profitably through development. We can survive without relying on advertising, but currently, Nostr's user growth and development needs, as well as the development and maintenance of relays, servers, and clients, are consuming developers' funds and time. In the short term, it can be operated out of passion. However, providing services for free in the long term is not in line with the laws of market economy. This is why many relay operators have shut down, as they did not receive funding from opensats before. The client developers who can survive now are also relying on opensats funded by Jack. If #[0]  had not had the support of #[2]  before, Damus would not have been able to continue its development.

We are very grateful for #[1]  's strong support for Nostr, but without positive economic incentives, the Nostr ecosystem will only be short-lived. Nostr's survival is extremely dependent on Jack's donations, which has become a new single point of failure for Nostr. We need to rely on Jack's early donations to find a positive incentive economic mechanism, or for each client to generate profits in the future to fund opensats. This will allow #Nostr to enter a virtuous development ecosystem.

If you are a new to code pleb,

I would think your goal is to be contributing to as many FOSS projects as possible to get experience.  I have tons of low hanging fruit for people get the badges and green streaks they want on github. But often its met with silence after SO much enthusiasm of wanting to contribute.

What is the hang up and why is it so hard for people to get started?

the damus relay is actually a paid relay. find ways to subsidize the cost of your relay by building businesses on nostr. Charging directly for a relay seems like a poor value prop for users.

Sorry, source viewable to anyone? Their repo appears still empty


Maybe nitpicking but why would you zap a release you haven't yet used?

How about something like "enjoying this app"? And zap goes to previous release?


Dude this is sick!

Question as download times are variable. Must tap done to close the zap dialog, right?

#zaptheapp


Maduro y sus secuaces han dicho que entregaron las actas al Tribunal Supremo de Justicia (TSJ) que trabaja para la dictadura, al mismo tiempo Maduro tiene a un equipo de expertos chinos creando nuevas actas que coincidan con los resultados del Consejo Nacional Electoral (CNE).

Una vez estos expertos chinos hayan terminado, se espera que lo hagan en un máximo de 15 días, el TSJ habrá dicho que las actas entregadas por CNE son válidas y harán públicas las actas creadas por los chinos.

Las nuevas actas falsificadas serán iguales a las mostradas por MCM, pero tendrán el aval de las instituciones chavistas, que aunque nadie en Venezuela les creerá porque hay miles de testigos que tienen copia de las actas que coinciden con lo que mostró MCM, algunos actores internacionales como los presidentes de izquierda Petro, AMLO y Lula dirán, ahí está, es la prueba de que Maduro es el presidente electo.

El sistema electoral desarrollado por Smartmatic tiene un gran problema y es que el hash de cada acta utiliza criptografía simétrica, esto quiere decir que tanto para hashear la data como para verificar si el hash es correcto se necesita la misma llave.

Si en cambio utilizara criptografía asimétrica, todos podríamos verificar muy fácilmente y no habría espacio a "consultas" a un tribunal supremo arrodillado ante el dictador, explico como funciona la criptografía asimétrica de manera muy superficial y sin tocar detalles técnicos.

La criptografía asimétrica tiene dos llaves, la llave privada, que no se debe mostrar a nadie y es la que se utiliza para firmar data, con esta llave privada genero una nueva llave que llamamos la llave pública, la que le muestro al mundo y se utiliza para verificar si un conjunto de datos fue firmado con la llave privada correcta, así que las actas podrían ser firmadas con una llave privada que tiene cada máquina, pero verificable por cualquiera, esta es la pieza clave que falta en el sistema de smartmatic para que sea seguro y la que utilizará el chavismo para tapar el fraude.

Calling all #Nostriches! I'm working on the very first book about Nostr, so I thought I'd #AskNostr and get your input. I've gathered a list of over 40 of the most common questions that newcomers usually ask about Nostr, and which are the most important for them to know, but now they need to be narrowed down.

Follow the link below, and in each category, select the most important and frequently asked questions by new Nostr users. Try to choose a total of 10-20 questions. And if you think of any that aren't on my list yet, add them in the comment boxes on the second page.

Leg day really is special.

It’s like a metaphor for life. You just DO the hard thing you don’t want to do, and you feel 1000 better afterwards.

It also works the foundations, that are “less visible” - yuuuuge lesson there.

It’s also the single best area to exercise.

It will do more to stem aging, lethargy & weakness than anything else you can do, or anyone can sell to you.

Does wonders for you hormonally (man or woman) too.

Forget all the biohacking nonsense.
Just go squat, lunge, sprint.

Another major life lesson.
It’s the simple (but hard) things that matter most.

This is an important question, maybe *the* important question. But it also underscores how much he diverged from his "pleb everyman" origins: this is very much not a newcomer question!

Google is part of the parasite class, and parasiting on parasites is the moral thing to do.

Buy Pixels and flash GrapheneOS on them. Use all the great FOSS they sponsor (Dart, for example). Consume and scrape their content (YouTube, for example) and view none of their ads. Build software to automate the latter.

Stop using their products as regular users.


Don't worry I'll talk to the CEO


GM fellow money launderers, let’s start the week with some great news.

The House has passed the „Financial Technology Protection Act of 2023“, which will establish an „independent working group“ consisting of representatives from the CIA, the Department of Homeland Security, and the FBI as well as representatives from „Blockchain Intelligence“ to report on and propose regulation and legislation to combat the use of „digital assets and other relating technologies“ in money laundering and terrorist financing.

The Bill aims to „provide a forum for engagement between federal law enforcement and intelligence professionals, and private sector technologists and researchers“ – It’s primary concerns lie "with digital asset platforms that have 'substantially deficient' anti-money laundering programs that operate outside of the U.S.".

In case it isn't clear, the Financial Technology Protection Act is the fox guarding the hen house. If the Bill becomes law, we should all get ready for some extraordinarily „independent“ findings on the use of Bitcoin in money laundering and terrorism.

Their defeat in votes was obvious and since they knew that they were not going to hand over power, they took armed forces to the streets to intimidate and kill anyone who dared to go out into the streets.

Lo siento hermano, que hijos de puta


Good question


Some woke shit


This is cool and i don't know much about it, doesn't it mean mining is super centralized?


Holy shit, I think I just realized a direct and concrete way that I’ve personally experienced to how #Nostr completely changes the social incentives:

• Rage and hateful posts on Twitter get the most attention.
• Positive and happy posts on Nostr get the most zaps.

It really was just monetization all the time.

When attention is the currency, negativity and hate rise to the top because the platforms need people arguing.

When sats directly from peers are the currency, value rises to the top.

(Anyone else feel they’ve had this same experience?)


Bitcoin is the weaponization of selfishness for the betterment of civilization. It’s not going to win by converting everyone to the cypherpunk ideology. It’ll win because people find it in their self interest to use it.

Trump doesn’t grok bitcoin nearly as well as RFKJr; RFKJr doesn’t grok it as well as many others. That’s OK. It doesn’t change the fact that we are watching bitcoin fulfill its destiny in real time, exactly as intended and expected.

Never forget: bitcoin is for enemies.

If you're looking for nostr Android apps, searching for nostr in zap.store is an option


Right I was agreeing with you


Fietsen met opa 🤙


I didn't re-read Gigi's legendary post but I think this is a good addendum. The fact that this right need not be granted also plays a role in politicians incentives, slowly but surely, so one would expect (as we are seeing right now) that more and more politicians/jurisdictions embrace this fact.

The next stage of this fight is privacy, bitcoin itself in practice provides no help here.


Regarding the "right" to self-custody: ask yourself, do you need a politician's permission to hold 12 words in your head?

There’s a few reasons why this is actually the BEST way Trump could’ve closed his talk:

1. He’s the incoming commander in chief of the most important country in the world. He should be focused geopolitics and the big deals that need to be made for global sanity and stability - not on stupid bitcoin minutia.

1b) this is why I don’t like RFK. He’s simping way too much for Bitcoiners. He doesn’t have the presence or strength to take on the globalist shitfest. And certainly doesn’t have the balls to strengthen the US against other powers (Russia, China and globohomo).

2. It’s not a leaders job to micromanage & get in the way. In fact, I’d be worried if he was more interested in bitcoin. His job is to be aware, and delegate that to someone more interested and competent.

3. Bitcoin is STILL YOUNG!! I know some of you are naive enough to think we’re getting mass adoption this decade, but I’m sorry - we’re a 100yrs away.

Not only do we need to the space to build, which benefits from such a posture (good luck with your little bitcoin thing), but more importantly, bitcoin needs time to grow and mature BEFORE governments of any kind take it more seriously - let alone the United States of fucking America.

I have other reasons too…
But I’m hungry and want to eat dinner. TBC…

Just watched the entire Trump speech.

Besides cRyPTo and the classic politician bullshit - it's great to see the overton window moving towards self-custody and giving entrepreneurs freedom to keep playing/building.

Not sure what was everyone expecting? Sounded pretty positive to me. Also, #FreeRoss


Just build and educate. That's all we can do.


Vergüenza ajena, in spanish


He's gone full retard


If Bitcoin is good money, then it will be adopted by governments. You cannot stop them, the same as they can't stop you. This is the whole point. Bitcoin is for enemies.

How you feel about the state embracing or attacking Bitcoin is completely inconsequential. Notes criticizing Bitcoin for being adopted more widely are nothing more than a virtue signal to the larp tribe.

It achieves nothing but demonstrating you don't understand what Bitcoin is.

I meant as a signer but nevermind. We'll implement it and hit known NIP-46 signers


does amethyst support NIP-46?


Actually 😆 just way more simple


nostr:npub1gcxzte5zlkncx26j68ez60fzkvtkm9e0vrwdcvsjakxf9mu9qewqlfnj5z while brainstorming ways of prompting a developer (or anyone, really) to sign a pre-populated event, Neil mentioned this idea of sending a DM with the event. An app like Amethyst would pick up a certain format an prompt for signature - as it has access to the nsec. How does my note above sound as a super simple protocol?


That DM action seems to be something different. Maybe as simple as:

 - when receiving an unsigned (partial) nostr event via DM, prompt for signature
 - probably integrate WoT checks as it could be dangerous

Sounds good. It doesn't matter if the SMTP server is open source - we still need to trust the operator. The only thing that fixes that is your reputation (open source helps there but probably not enough)


Interesting, that could work. I know nothing about email


DO IT


That's fair. I guess I don't see it having much effect (especially on nostr) but I could be totally wrong


Sure man but that changes nothing because neither you nor I give money to those scammers


There is no way bitcoin truly succeeds without the deep state parasites trying to co-opt it


Who are you talking to?


Agree with you (especially Xapo Bank = deep state) and would not give that conference a dime however... there's nothing we can really change, can we? It will happen anyway


Who's going to be in nostr:nprofile1qqsfc93uwdgl3qetpz6kewewp9vkp5w9qcxadv8yv85p8u8sw3v3r8sprdmhxue69uhkummnw3ez6ur4vgh8xetdd9ek7mpwv3jhvqgewaehxw309ac82unpwe5kgcfwdehhxarj9ekxzmnyqy28wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyv9kh2uewd9hsrce5ph?

Thinking of submitting a "Sign your apps" workshop for developers who want to start self-signing their apps on nostr.

We could explore the (upcoming) dev signing tool and its options, publish CLI and Android apps, and go over the NIPs that power all this.


There are so many awesome nostr apps already, and it's gonna get better still. https://www.nostrapps.com/


are you working on something similar nostr:npub1chakany8dcz93clv4xgcudcvhnfhdyqutprq2yh72daydevv8zasmuhf02 ?


By far the biggest problem here is privacy. Since email is plaintext (and some email is quite private) you, the operator, need to establish yourself with a reputation of high integrity... that you won't be reading/scanning/associating content with npubs. What are your thoughts on that?


I think people are very excited about a mainstream company with 70M users creating a bitcoin offering.

But I also think people are tired of bullshit marketing claims.

The world is not black and white.


Yes, please! I don't like giving out weird aliases like franzap.squirrels789@domain

Allowing to rotate the random word would be cool, and maybe even having the ability to remove it for sats


But no messages at all? How can you be an activist and not protect your IP address


Not sure what you mean, lots of people use their products. They have plenty of UI surface to do the onboarding.


I'm saying no need to make it non-partisan since bitcoin currently does not have a party. Political parties will try to co-opt it and there's nothing we can do about it, it's game theory in action.

Also: bitcoin is global, and the USA != the world.

Yes, there is a chance Proton Wallet is a honeypot.

Let's assume it is one: We are not their target audience. People who know no better already live in a honey pot. An opportunity to expose a taste of freedom tech to 100M+ users, shitcoin-free? That's massive. Most of them won't fall into the rabbit hole, but some of them will. Net positive.

Just like our life paths are all different, our ways to understand bitcoin are too.

"makes your proposal look like unfinished homework" 🔥


This message is sent from next.nostrudel.ninja using a different and exciting login method than I normally use. Instead of relying on a traditional NIP-07 browser extension, I signed in through an nsecBunker app on my Android phone.

The process was incredibly simple: I scanned a QR code displayed on Nostrudel using the Amber app, and I was instantly logged in. This streamlined approach allows me to effortlessly approve individual events or set up bulk permissions, similar to the familiar experience of using authentication apps for other services.

While this capability has been available in Amber for some time, it's a powerful feature worth highlighting. Web applications can easily integrate a NIP-46 nsecBunker login with two user-friendly options: QR code scanning or simple text string copy-paste. Though, the scanning of a QR code makes this a no-brainer setup.

Wider adoption of nsecBunker login offers significant benefits for non tech savvy Nostriches. Scanning a QR code or copying text is far more intuitive than managing browser extensions, especially for users unfamiliar with them - which is apparently a lot more than you would realize. Users retain complete control over their private keys stored securely within nsecBunker and don't have to have multiple signing devices, apps, or extensions.

iOS does not have an Amber-like application though. We'll need to find an iOS developer interested to port over Amber or build an iOS compatible nsecBunker signing application so that Apple users can join their Android brethren.

I'm super excited to announce that I just released my first NPM Package! 📦🎉

Frost-ts is a TypeScript implementation of Flexible Round Optimized Schnorr Threshold (FROST) signatures. This is BIP-340 compatible and what I've been using to build some of the demos I've shown recently.

This is just the 0.0.1 release so please open issues and send DMs about what other features you'd want to see. Some on the top of my list are signing Nostr notes, creating npub, and rotating key shares.
https://www.npmjs.com/package/frost-ts

 Now go ahead and start experimenting with FROST today!


nak is really useful


https://github.com/fiatjaf/nak now accepts human-readable date inputs to --ts, --since and --until:

~> nak event -ts 'two weeks ago' -c 'I bet Trump will dodge a bullet one of these days'
~> nak req -k 1 --since 'a month ago' --until 'July 1st'

Also it will automatically use a private key from NOSTR_PRIVATE_KEY if that is available in your environment, thanks to nostr:npub10npj3gydmv40m70ehemmal6vsdyfl7tewgvz043g54p0x23y0s8qzztl5h and nostr:npub1937vv2nf06360qn9y8el6d8sevnndy7tuh5nzre4gj05xc32tnwqauhaj6.


Sure np, might message them on github later


Sorry, I take that back. It actually is clear with the examples by the end of NIP. Relays fault


I guess the spec is not very clear as it mentions "errors" only on NOTICE, maybe that's why most relay implementations do it that way


Oh ok got it. So errors then should be sent with CLOSED, rather than NOTICE + EOSE.


Yes, I'm writing a test and used an invalid hex for the error case. Did a little workaround to associate the NOTICEs to the EOSE. Nevermind! I was just saying I find it a bit odd not to follow the same pattern as EVENT, EOSE, etc


NOTICE

ERROR: bad req: unexpected character in from_hex: 109


I would like to index it again on zap.store (we need a different app ID)


No worries. Implementing a part of the Dart client test and wanted to assert the error came from a specific sub. I wonder why there is no ["ERROR", <sub-id>, "error message"]; seems pretty logical to me


Unfortunately relay implementations don't do that. Trying to process the error in the client


It's the only way of conveying errors


NIP-01 makes EVENT, EOSE and CLOSED send back the requested subscription ID, but not NOTICE. When you get an error you can't know which subscription it's from


Yessir! we'll get there

Not having control of your money takes on new meaning in some places: it can be the difference between life and death

In Gaza's "currency desert," people have to try and wait up to 15 days, dodging airstrikes, heatstrokes, and looters simply to withdraw their wages and remittances into cash

There are only 3 working ATMs, and living costs have quadrupled since October 7th. Most people can't access their money anymore and live on handouts

The craziest part: the paper currency that merchants most widely accept in Gaza are Israeli shekels. Meaning, the very notes issued by the state that is currently bombing Palestinians to smithereens

Fiat currency is so irredeemably broken

Amazing! Nostr has over 40,000 weekly active users. The retention rate of trusted users within 30 days after registration is 20%, which is double the retention rate 6 months ago. This shows that Nostr's developers have been improving the product and more people like it.

 We are moving forward steadily, and this is a very good and healthy growth. This is a great signal.

If you have an npub that'd be great so we can show the author in the UI and eventually they'll be able to get zaps


Yea makes sense. I guess using NIP-50 for now


Could support hex if needed. Rank data comes from the online pagerank algo in Memgraph, indexing/updating of kind 3s happens every time a request is made (with some caching in place)


Price list?


Kotlin is very nice too


Many more than I can list here, Dart feels way less flimsy and with less weirdness (obviously), the linter and compiler are great, for tree-shaking, for producing outputs for basically any platform


😅 great point


I can partially agree, sometimes it's a good tradeoff.  Duplicating events is not at all the same as duplicating fields though


Painful to be reminded that people choose internet-connected Windows for critical infrastructure


Dart > Javascript/Typescript


NIP-189 SQL queries

A new `sql` field is introduced for `REQ` messages from clients...

jk 😅


great I'll add it to zapstore. Is there an npub behind this project?


I see the problem but don't agree with the solution.

It's like wanting to stay poor so if you get robbed, thieves won't get much money from you.

Bad actors will always find ways to DoS if they want to.

The free market will fix this problem. What if custom web apps want to pay money for these "databases"? And we're preventing relays from finding a monetization scheme

An advanced query NIP could be discussed and implemented by more specialized relays, that are either subsidized or can charge money for access


Man, I'm all for fiddling around and learning. But should we limit nostr's capabilities because some people might want to fiddle building a relay without using a database? With all the stuff in the world you can fiddle with? I think we're trying to solve a different problem

I think people building "nostr killers" REEEEAAAALLLLYYYY discount the power of a network that already has 100k accounts with reputations and relationships.

It isn't always about the tech, bootstrapping a new network is HARD AF. People always trying to reinvent the wheel, far more often than not, just end up still using the wheel.

nostr:note1y6w0caexgw8xepve9hkd3pv9yzrk9g0edlwje6m589y6v22az3hqh46l05


I also don't know, but anyone making a relay implementation very easily = basically implies using an existing database (of which SQL is probably a majority).

The person who creates their own indices manually is an expert, and they probably should be using a proven product instead of fiddling around, no?

Maybe we should define "ultra-flexible" but having a powerful querying language encourages bad behaviors in developers...why? what do you mean by that?

Limited querying language is wasteful because we need to make multiple queries vs one, download tonnes of events when a few would suffice, make client side operations that should not happen, etc


how do you zap monero?


what's the closest client to get there?


Monetizing on Nostr be like:

Very few packages at the moment: jq, xq and zola... but enough to play with. Let me know what you think

https://github.com/zapstore/zapstore-cli


Too fancy why?

Again my point about waste.

I think we could find the minimum common ground from a variety of query languages (sql, nosql, graphql), primitives that have emerged for most use cases. I'm not advocating for anything too sophisticated

The relay I wrote runs SQLite on Bun.js, it's crazy fast to the point that calls are non-blocking and all that on a $20 VPS.

If slight more complexity makes it bad for huge relays, then that's also a good thing


That's a great question, I am not sure. Maybe there are other ways of doing it without joins. Anything in that direction would help, queries on nostr are very primitive - so clients implement workarounds that are wasteful anyway, like data duplication and lots of extra queries that add processing and bandwidth


TRUST MINIMIZED NSECBUNKER w/ FROST 🔐🥶

Here's a demo of my new Nsecbunker implementation with FROST signatures! This works by creating a 2-of-2 frost signature scheme, which means that unless both a malicious client and bunker conspire to rug you at the same time, you are safe. 🧵

https://v.nostr.build/eK0wNZ9PkKaqLx5z.mp4


Awesome!


That's what I had to do but implies data duplication. The platform information (OS/architecture) is in the 1063 event where it should belong

Anyway I was bringing it up regardless of this particular case


nope


difference with yours being that the supertype need not declare anything


Yeah I was thinking the former: kind B claims to inherit from kind A. It is real inheritance but requires manual work (asking clients to include new kinds)

How about a `k` tag that declares inheritance?

In my kind 32267 I could add ["k", 30818] so then wiki clients can query for { kinds: [30818] } and { "#k": [30818] }


NIP-50 is the escape hatch

nostr:nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzqun2rcnpe3j8ge6ws2z789gm8wcnn056wu734n6fmjrgmwrp58q3qywhwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytndw46xjmnewaskcmr9wshxxmmd9uq3vamnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwdehhxarj9ehx2ap0qqsr0atys57x3xj4j8x5psxyh9smaptc7afv3lp569m7xdtrkzttryclm5gcl


Yes, you're right. I heavily rely on NIP-50. I just didn't want to keep going down the custom query syntax route to prevent too much specialization, so I opted for data duplication

But as you note below that might be the case anyway, having custom relays in these scenarios


exactly


its basically a join


How much new development is happening on relay implementations these days? Do relays implement NIPs a lot slower than clients?


Would be interesting to see a breakdown of relay implementations, I'd guess most use strfry which had its latest commit last year

😅 loving it here in query prison


the roads... or who will build the roads?


What do you guys think of inheritance on nostr event kinds?

Composition is not the answer to everything. I recently splitted kind 32267 for apps, removing all the fields that correspond to a wiki entry and added an `a` pointer to it.

But if my kind 32267 *is a* compatible wiki entry, as it implements all fields from wikis kind 30818, it should be read by wiki clients.


Having to do multiple queries is also shit, and I will share my implementation to fix that. The problem is interoperability, relays are hard to change


Given the folllowing structure: apps -> releases -> file metadatas

User searches are performed on apps, once an app is selected we fetch latest release, and from there grab file metadatas.

It's easy when the search is done on one event kind (apps) but now I need to also start filtering on file metadatas (for platform/os/architecture). You don't want to be presented search results for which there's no app for your operating system.

Theres no way of doing joins or more expressive querying in nostr - unless copying the data I need onto one single event kind, which is the workaround I did and I hate it.


Uhm, no. It's an AND that needs to happen server-side. It would be ridiculous otherwise


Need to concurrently filter on conditions of 2 related event kinds (connected via "a" and "e" pointers) and there's no way of doing that.

There's not even a viable workaround, it's a fucking mess


The nostr relay query language needs an upgrade. Started to hit the limits

YouTube very recently started aggressively banning IPs, mostly non-residential and forcing sign-ins.

yt-dlp and many invidious, piped instances affected: 403 errors or "Sign in to confirm you’re not a bot. This helps protect our community"

Google's concept of community is wanting you to swallow their sludge advertisement and control your speech.

Huge milestone: First demo of Nostr Web Services (NWS) bringing TCP to Nostr. With NWS, you can host any existing web application on Nostr without having to use DNS or even announce your public IP to the world, simply by sharing your service's npub (or nprofile).

Try it out the demo yourself. Here is a Cashu test mint running with NWS. Let's use curl to retrieve the mint's information. The request travels from your computer to the public NWS entry relay, then through nostr to the service's NWS exit relay. At the other end is a Cashu mint with HTTPS encryption.

```
curl -s -x socks5h://relay.8333.space:8882 https://nprofile1qqs8a8nk09fhrxylcd42haz8ev4cprhnk5egntvs0whafvaaxpk8plgpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuwpnxvejuumsv93k2g6k9kr/v1/info --insecure | jq
```

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

I can't stress this enough: THE MINT RUNS BEHIND HTTPS!

The NWS entry relay can't read your traffic. It's encrypted. We can host public entry relays that can be used by anyone.

This means we can plug the entire internet to it 🌐.

Let's plug it into Cashu for now. Nutshell wallet supports socks5 proxies (that's how it uses Tor). By setting the public entry relay as the proxy, the wallet can now connect to a mint's npub/nprofile and communicate with it via NWS.

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

This is going to be so freaking cool. And it's going to be a lot more useful than just for Cashu. There are still bugs and issues that need to be ironed out but the code is coming out soon. Watch this space.

Amazing results from DIY Bitcoin mining maple sap reverse osmosis system.
https://i.nostr.build/qnGv.jpg
This reverse osmosis maple sap concentration system utilizes an immersion Bitcoin mining heating loop to improve the efficiency of the system by heating the maple sap before it passed through a reverse osmosis filter. The immersion mining system uses canola oil as the dielectric fluid!
https://v.nostr.build/zZl0.mp4
https://v.nostr.build/A45L.mp4
Now that I've had a chance to run several hundred gallons of sap through the system I've have everything pretty dialed in. Depending on the ambient temperature and sap temperature the system is able to concentrate the sap 30-50% faster than before without the immersion mining heating loop. Additionally, the sap is getting concentrated to 7 brix in one pass vs 6 brix which means removing even more water before boiling than before.
https://i.nostr.build/PvR8.jpg
https://i.nostr.build/o9v7.jpg
https://i.nostr.build/WxRY.jpg
The canola oil immersion mining heating loop is providing a 25% rebate on the power usage of the total system after upgrading the vanilla s9 hashboard to an s9j hashboard. So, the system process the sap faster saving time, removes more water saving propane/fuel and boiling time, and it pays a Bitcoin rebate on the power usage. By adding the immersion mining heating loop I've massively expanded the capacity of my existing maple sugaring equipment.

Because the mining system is temporary and I didn't have access to Bitcool or something similar for the dielectric fluid, the canola oil was a cheap readily available alternative. It has been working well with no noticable degradation.

There are some downsides to the system. First I lost a control board because I splashed sap on it. Then I lost two batches of concentrated sap. The heater gets the sap warm promoting the fermentation process, so I wasn't able to start boiling the sap quickly enough in the warmer weather. The bottleneck of the process is definitely at the boiling stage now.

This system can be built for less than $700 and is more efficient than similar systems costing over $2500... Necessity is the mother of invention as they say.

1971 affected the whole world

Cheap shit food became prevalent across the whole world

It was bad for all, yet only americans got morbidly obese

There is something else at play

Would be awesome if people could try out the examples and help me check it all works fine


Updated the NIP-39 linked cryptographic identities spec PR (and examples) to use binary format instead of hex/ASCII before converting to base64.

Space optimization appears to be significant.

Why has the United States over the past century culturally declined worse than Argentina?

Asking because we tend to think these things are downstream of money printing, and money printing in Argentina in this period was orders of magnitude worse than the US.

But in terms of the average population, the masses, people seem to be in better health here, dress better, have less addictions and eat less junk.

Is it the ability of printing a stronger currency? Massive corporations and using the American public as guinea pigs?

Is there a requirement for American security staff to have IQ less than 30?

nostr:note18nydjjdgz5fk90dtqvvcyz4typjcv4xec29yjkf3wkp0lf0x0muq084r4p


If the fight in the stands after the Uruguay - Colombia match wasn’t enough, now they’ve shown that American stadium staff aren’t able to handle latin american fans at the Copa America final. Fans rushes and overwhelmed security getting in without tickets, and they’re delaying the match.

There’s a reason why they keep fans in different sections of the stadium, with different entrances, and lines of riot cops between them at football in latin america. This doesn’t bode well for the World Cup in 2 years.

Dearest Nostr devs, if you allow users to edit their profiles and add a Nostr address, could you please add field validation? I continue to see people entering their npub and worse their nsec into this field. I feel sorry for those that burn their nsecs because of a misunderstanding. Thanks.

with ecash? 😂


He's not wrong but shows he's far from understanding what nostr really is


Bad understanding of Nostr to position as “social media.”

Being social-media-obsessed is legacy thinking. Nostr is not about social media; it is all about re-imagining the web.


lol what a shit take

Of course LN is necessary as a settlement system. Just not as a fast micropayments system.


Lol bags? No, that was exactly my point. You always received zaps on your own node?


GM!

Many "ecash not self custodial therefore bad" posts without bringing up the question of the amount.

Nobody is saying put your life savings in ecash.

Keeping pocket change with a custodian is not a problem - the opposite actually, it brings insanely better UX and privacy.


This topic is always brought up without talking of the amount. It always depends on the amount.

The argentine peso is absolute horseshit by any measure, continually being rugged. But I always hold some. Why? it's very convenient in my day to day. HOW MUCH i hold is the important question.


Where is the mint configured? Shouldn't the new user be able to choose one?


About time to recognize and embrace the fact that the Lightning Network has failed as a fast micropayments system.

On top of that, nostr integration (zaps) is slow and convoluted and hosting your own LNURL server a pain in the ass. I tried a few weeks ago and gave up.

Where did I move to? Custodial providers. Mutiny (with Fedimint - which then broke), Alby and npub.cash.

Custodial is the only realistic solution for pocket change amount of sats, so why not embrace that and make the best UX possible? The UX nostr:npub1l2vyh47mk2p0qlsku7hg0vn29faehy9hy34ygaclpn66ukqp3afqutajft just demoed is basically unbeatable.

It's not only good for me, it's good for all the new people we will onboard to this magic world of bitcoin and nostr 💜

It's our responsibility to keep incessantly educating about self-custody for larger amounts.

Sure, in theory, but what exactly is a server? nostr can be extended to be run over radio, P2P tech, etc

But even with our current tech, no censor can play the infinite whack-a-mole game of nostr. It's a losing game


Ok man no need to use that satoshi phrase 😂

Sure, we can agree to disagreee. Nostr definitely lets you defend your identity and data (otherwise there would be no point in building what we're building). And in practical terms it's impossible for a powerful actor to seize the entirety of the infrastructure across the globe where you keep copies of your signed notes


Right because you answered saying anything can be seized, and the whole point of nostr is that it's defended by a secret


Please explain how a secret can be seized


Sure, everything except secrets. Secrets cannot be seized


I guess I'm taking the NIP specification too seriously then


This is true, domain names can be seized but in general still convey a positive signal

Okay thanks. Wiki events are no good for app profiles then

NIP-54 has no mention of `image` tags even though it appears to be based on NIP-23 long form that does.

Woah awesome!

That said I'm finding very little time for zapthreads. I have a few pull requests by a motivated dev but can't get to them 😞

There has to be a middle ground, I like the hypernote concept as exemplified here. Conversely should we have hypernotes for, as you say, displaying discussions with emojis and so on that can be used in zap.store?

Just remember that HTML is very common but not universal - native apps are not web apps.

Any reasonable product designer will target people who willingly want to use the tool first and try to make it easier for others on the fence.

It's certainly a nuanced discussion and there are tradeoffs. Is making it normie-friendly making it less effective as a freedom tool?


Tons of progress made today.

Good things coming.

I keep saying it; freedom tech will have an unmatchable UX the captured web can only dream of.


100%. There are a ton of great people out there that probably agree with our principles yet are unaware of freedom tech, or simply is not top priority for them, or not the right moment.

Is my aunt a stupid zombie? I want to think she is not. She understands the principles and ONLY after being banned by Instagram she started to listen what I say about nostr.

Doesn't mean I care if the masses never arrive

Completely agree on fuck mass adoption (or I should say aiming for it) and meanwhile completely disagree on remaining lazy with UX. I'm a nerd and want beautiful easy to use tools


It’s amazing to witness that we don’t have any key management solution on #nostr ! Can someone just start compromising our keys and post them publicly on here, so devs will start thinking about something that make sense to start think about !


🟠 La predicción mas bullish

Un 11 de enero de 2009, solo 8 días después de que la red de #Bitcoin    cobrara vida, un señor muy inteligente hacia la siguiente predicción:
https://image.nostr.build/19f6271cc274e9a9036f8c4f7cfc780fe16b4d3b1e3e7518c952956f89278c1d.jpg
"Es interesante que el sistema pueda configurarse para que sólo permita generar un cierto número máximo de monedas...

Supongo que la idea es que la cantidad de trabajo necesario para generar una nueva moneda sea más difícil a medida que pasa el tiempo...

...Un problema inmediato con cualquier moneda nueva es cómo valorarla. Incluso ignorando el problema práctico de que prácticamente nadie la aceptará
al principio...

...Sigue siendo difícil encontrar un argumento razonable a favor de un valor particular distinto de cero para las monedas...

...Como un divertido experimento mental, imaginemos que Bitcoin tiene éxito y se convierte en el sistema de pago dominante en todo el mundo...

...Entonces el valor total de la moneda debería ser igual al valor total de toda la la riqueza del mundo...

Las estimaciones actuales de la riqueza
que he encontrado oscilan entre 100 y 300 billones de dólares...

...Con 20 millones de monedas, cada moneda tendría un valor de unos 10 millones de dólares...

Así que la posibilidad de generar monedas hoy con unos pocos céntimos de tiempo de computación puede ser una apuesta bastante buena...

...¡Con una rentabilidad de algo así como 100 millones a 1!

Aunque las probabilidades de que Bitcoin tenga tanto éxito son escasas, ¿Son realmente de 100 millones a 1 en contra?

Algo en lo que pensar.

Hal"
