Any attempt to rationalize or promote the madness of trusting your bitcoin with a custodian is a giant red flag.

The latest paper by two "mainstream economists" working for the ECB has basically been predicted in 1988 already.

"The State will of course try to slow or halt the spread of this technology, citing national security concerns, use of the technology by drug dealers and tax evaders, and fears of societal disintegration."

It's once again mind-blowing how visionary the original cypherpunks were.

So instead of falling asleep over the ECB paper, read this: https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/timothy-c-may-crypto-anarchist-manifesto

Testing ecash payments with bearer tokens stored on a physical card. You can see the card being topped up with one phone and pay the other. It feels incredibly fast and smooth.

Tap to pay UX with ecash is as good as it gets for payments. You're literally handing over the money.

For the first time we are talking about NOSTR along with decentralized tech, privacy and off-grid tools. If you are in Portugal, you are invited to visit us in Coimbra on the 26th of October at Edifício Embaixada (Largo da Freiria 4).

Come around to meet other like-minded people, to learn about NOSTR and to see how it works.

A new NOSTR platform/client will be presented during the event too.

Italy Plans to Raise Bitcoin Capital Gains Tax from 26% to 42%

Every account switcher sucks.

Is the Gmail app the best way to handle multiple accounts?

They allow single-click switching on the top right corner, but also allow you to see all inboxes at once and send the email from any account regardless of which one is being used at the moment.

YouTube sucks, Slack sucks, Discord sucks. Facebook and Instagram make you go to settings(!) to switch. It's just ridiculous.

It's so funny how everything is designed to get you locked into your own account.

Nostr has to fix this.

If you're not paying attention to what's going on with The Internet Archive, you're missing a BIG story.  This is NOT good.  Currently they are under DDOS and this is after they're being sued out of existence for digitizing 78rpm records that aren't even available anymore.  They're facing a $600+MM lawsuit.  They previously lost a suit during the 'demic when they released digitized books for free.  The likelihood that they will end up shut down and entire histories of the net will be lost forever is high.

DHH has a great post today, one section really caught my attention and is something I've been thinking a lot about recently.

"And that's what gets me. Everyone find it easy to nod in agreement with Jobs' ode to To The Crazy Ones¹. Everyone wants to believe that they'd support "the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers". That they too would cheer for those who are "not fond of rules. And... have no respect for the status quo".

But they won't and they don't. Most people are either aggressively or passively conformist². They squirm when The Crazy Ones actually attempt to change the world. They don't see genius as often as they see transgressors. A failure to comply and comport. And they don't like it."

So GM Nostr. 🌞 Be crazy and non-conformist today.

e-safety is the new “the climate™”


amazing


One amazing thing I learned about (out of many) at the ecash conference

A router for sharing internet

Someone from India, living in a place with a lot of internet access problems, built a set-up where people can buy internet without having any internet in the first place. 1 sat per minute

He built a captive portal that you log into and the page says — I take ecash from this one mint, get ecash from there and paste it into this text box — you paste it in, hit enter, and you’re online

You’ve made an offline payment and voila, you're now online

There are many exciting Bitcoin developments happening but it's becoming more clear that ecash is a wholly different, complementary technology that does different things, including many things that Bitcoin can't do no matter how many upgrades it gets


they want full control over the flow of all information


the fact australia has an e-safety commisar is all that needs to be said

No prisons, no limits.

It doesn't make sense to put a jpg or a blog post behind a paywall. If it's good, it will be available for free in no time. Someone will right-click save the thing, or take a screenshot, and send it around or republish it. Trying to fight that is stupid. Putting chunks of data behind prisons is stupid.

All data can be reproduced at zero marginal cost, leading to infinite supply. That's why market prices are ridiculous for blog posts, and why it's equally ridiculous to try to sell a single blog post. What you CAN sell is access to an exclusive club or community, as well as access to the author. That's what all Twitch/YouTube/OnlyFans have figured out. But make no mistake: they're not selling JPGs. They might sell early-access (in the case of OnlyFans) which is fair, but it's not selling a JPG as you would sell an apple. Early access because if the stuff is any good, it will be available for free to anyone everywhere.

Here's the thing: people love to support other people, so let them. No limits. The success of Patreon and Substack does not come from paywalls, but from the inherent willingness of people to support others. Lean into that. Let people give without limits.

Social signaling is important. Community is incredibly important too. Do that right, and we can 100x the whole space just like a switch from $50 per game to free-to-play 100x'd the gaming industry, selling cosmetics and social status only.

Computers are copying machines. Information yearns to be free. People want to support the stuff they love, and they're willing to pay for it. Not all people, but ~4% of them. And that is enough.

Absolute scarcity cannot be engineered in the open. It needs to sneak up on us. Grow roots in obscurity. Organic decentralization. Its true power and promise slowly unveiled. Until all of a sudden it is apparent. Non negotiable.

We had one shot, and it worked.

#bitcoin


shocking how few seem to be able to let go of the desire to contort nature to their will, and instead surrender to contorting themselves, to natures will.


Who defines hate? Who defines truth? All centralized platforms will inevitably be forced to be the arbiter, willingly or not. It's an impossible problem.

The only solution is to remove central control and push it to the edges. It's messy, it's imperfect, but it's much preferable to the alternative.

The dissonance of a smoothie is hard to over state.

My folks had a newspaper on the table.. i noted the  full page piece of US propaganda
framing Kamala as the saviour.

I noted it out loud, to which my old man responded “id rather her than trump. Trump will lead us into ww3”

So strange non americans taking such strong positions firstly

secondly;
“bro. There are so many wars right now and is trunp in power?”

My sense is that the “establishment” deepstate blue team does propaganda better and incredibly there is no limit to which the smoothies will stop falling for it.

it would seem likely many will continue to do this if the capital directs them to do so


yeah, not sure whether or not that statement is really true or not. But i take your point.

I guess the way im thinking about it, is you can sell it, like a hardcover book, and if people want to buy it from you then thats great. but people can also download the pdf for nothing.

hahahaha yeah. Ironic. But humans are control freaks


wait.. you have an X account ? :P


movement first thing each morning while fasted is very beneficial.
even just a light walk consistantly will really help


yeah. while i’m in the gigi camp on this completely, and think paywalling is suboptimal; i also concede that most people want to be able to monetize their efforts in this way - and that is not going to go away.

so we either make it possible, with all the shortcomings that includes, or they go elsewhere.

If we’re user-centric, lets be user-centric.

Uncomfortable Nostr Reality check:

I've tried to Nostr-pill all my YouTube friends (some of them have incredible amounts of subs), but none of them care about the censorship resistance or decentralization. Even though they know Nostr exists, they have no incentive yet to come here. Their audience would follow them anywhere, but they need the tools to create community communications.

It's a sad reality, but it all comes down to usability, UX, and ultimately the easiness of paying and signing up for the community. None of these can afford to have a sign-up problem or issues with someone being interested in joining the community/their platform. It needs to work flawlessly and feel and look professional. Some of them charge $3-5k a year just to get access to this closed space, and people are willing to pay for this.

Another big pain point is community management. All of these YouTubers create these platforms to help their audience have a safe place to communicate with each other and build their own tribe.

Nostr is capable of facilitating all of this - we're just not there yet. We need to somehow invest so much more into UX and design.

All of this will come when the time is due. So, knowing that all of this is possible and that ultimately, Nostr will be powering most of these via the social graph, is what makes me extremely bullish. But also, let's not get ahead of ourselves and expect them to come already.

The UX and features are not there yet for these people. I am more than happy to help anybody trying to make this a reality. I want nothing more than having these people join Nostr. But I also totally understand their pain points. So, if you're a dev or a company working on this, please feel free to reach out - I can tell you all the issues they told me. Or just tell me how to best do this; maybe I can jump on a podcast so the issues are open-sourced for the whole community to hear.

I never actually went back to 1996 to grok the ‘code is speech’ argument and how it played out legally. I’d naively just kind of accepted it.

Reading nostr:npub1mznweuxrjm423au6gjtlaxmhmjthvv69ru72t335ugyxtygkv3as8q6mak latest is very clarifying as to the legal argument and frame 🖼


Yesterday, Tornado Cash judge stated code is not speech, non-custodial software providers can be money transmitters, and specific knowledge of criminal activity is not required to be charged with conspiracy to commit money laundering.

There actually is “something in the water”


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!

## 1.  Relay = Community?
If spinning up a relay is getting easier and cheaper by the day, why can't the relays literally **be** the group/community?

Then:
* Any relay is by default a public community. The more restricted read- or write-access is, the more it becomes a private group.
* Any publication targeted at (h-tag) and stored, and thus accepted, by a relay can be seen as a publication in that community.
* All-in-1 hosting solutions (integrated blossom servers, lightning nodes, ...) are made easier.

## 2.  Why invent new kinds?
Why can't Kind 1 posts that are targeted and accepted by a relay (i.e. community) just be the forum-posts of that community? Why create new kinds for this? And even weirder, why create a new kind with that exclusively serves as a reply to that new kind?
Why not just use generic replies (kind 1111) and take the #otherstuff (event kinds and apps) as an opportunity to introduce those?

For chat messages, however, I get it. You need a kind + reply-kind for those.

## 3.  Community VS Private group
It seems like the only distinction you really need, both for the user and the apps implementing all this, is:
1. **Public Community**: anyone can read and follow this community but for writing the admins can set limits (pricing, white listings, ...)
2. **Private group**: only the profiles that even know this relay (i.e. group) exists can interact with it. Read-access has to be granted (invite, pricing, ...) and admins can set limits for writing too.
Beyond this distinction it's a bit naive to try to categorize them. Open vs Closed doesn't really mean much for example, since technically all groups/communities set limits and are thus closed. It's more interesting to look the ways in which they can be closed and build on the simplest distinctions you can make there.

The difference between Public communities and private groups is the most important one because they both have very different UX and specification requirements:

### Memberlist
**Communities**: None existent
Anyone can read and follow. It just has limits on who can publish what, when. So the most interesting thing to surface is probable something like a list of most active members or a highlighted set of profiles that have special characteristics within this community (top supporter, god-mode, resident artist, ...).
**Private Groups**: Necessary for it's existence
The whitelisted npubs for read-access are the members.

### Moderation actions
**Both types of groups** need a way for the admin(s) to:
* Block/remove users
* Remove events
* Edit metadata (name, description, guidelines...)
* Specify who can write publish what, under what condition

**Only private groups** need a way for the admin(s) to:
* Add/approve new members → specify who has read-access, under what condition

Generalizing too many actions like `add member`, `join request`,  etc... that are only applicable to one of these categories just creates bad UX for the other one. You don't "add a member" to a public community. People can follow it without asking anyone's permission (ok yes, some will AUTH for reading but that's besides the point). Some of its followers will then just choose to publish something there and the admin either allows them or not.

Having a common protocol for specifying the **conditions for this write-access interoperably** (as mentioned above) is what I would like to see instead:
* Both Communities and Private groups need it anyway
* You have to assume admins need granularity in the conditions they set for publishing in their group/community: Who, what, under what condition, ...
* You don't want to link out to custom websites (or similar) explaining their allowance schemes

*Sidenote*: we need a similar kind of spec for the services that allow you to spin up your hosting solution (relay, server, node, ...) so that, when you click "Create new community" in an app, those services can be surfaced. With their business models just there, in the app, without linking out. Same for the lines of communication and payments that are needed to make those business models work from within any app.

### Publication and Discovery
**Only Communities** allow for the exciting possibility of publishing
something in multiple overlapping communities at once. Someone writing about how [Bees are Capitalists](nostr:naddr1qvzqqqr4gupzp22rfmsktmgpk2rtan7zwu00zuzax5maq5dnsu5g3xxvqr2u3pd7qqfyyet9wdqhye2rv9cxjarpd35hxarna3k565) can target their article at the communities that most overlap with its content (and with the author's means and write-access of course). Members of a community around beekeeping can organically discover content and communities on Austrian economics relevant to them.

With **Private groups** publication happens only in the group and discovery is blocked on purpose.

I need help in understanding why Simple Groups are so complicated already. Here are some Noob Questions.

If you're curious about adopting a circadian lifestyle, I've put together a little cheat sheet from my experience and research. This is complementary to my documentary about the sun - at the bottom of this article you will find all the science backing everything up.

This is my Guide to Embracing the sun in your life

Living in harmony with my body's natural rhythms has been a game-changer for me. If you're curious about adopting a circadian lifestyle, I've put together a little cheat sheet from my experience and research. This is complementary to my documentary about the sun - at the bottom of this you will find all the science backing everything up. It's all about aligning our daily life with the natural cycle of our internal clock. Here's why it's worth it and how you can do it:

Why Go Circadian?

- Sleep Like a Dream: Syncing with your body's clock means better, more restful sleep. It's a night and day difference, literally.
- Mood Magic: Feeling brighter and more stable, mood-wise. It's like natural therapy.
- Health Perks: Lower risks of the big nasties like obesity, heart disease Cancer and Neurological diseases. Plus, my energy levels are more consistent throughout the day.

How to Circadian Your Life
Step by Step

1. Morning Sunshine: I kickstart my day with sunlight. Just a quick 10-30 minute dose as soon as I wake up. It tells my brain, "Hey, it's go time!"
2. Sleep Rhythm: Hitting the pillow and waking up at the same time daily. Yes, weekends too. It's tough love for my sleep cycle. Especially with combining sleeping on the floor - my sleep hasn’t been that good in the last years. (Sleep Video: https://youtu.be/ICnLS1BbZ_w)
3. Light Lowdown: Cutting down on bright and white lights and screens before bedtime to let my melatonin do its thing.
4. Eat Smart: I aim to eat my biggest meal when the sun's shining brightest and dial down on late-night snacking.
5. Move It: Daytime is for moving; it keeps my internal clock tick-tocking correctly. Evening activities are more chill, like a leisurely stroll.
6. Bedroom Bliss: My bedroom is a cave – cool, dark, and quiet. Blackout curtains and a hint of white noise can work wonders.

Early Days Expectations

- Adjustment Time: Took me a few days to a few weeks to find my rhythm.
- Energy Boost: Once I adjusted, my daytime alertness and energy levels noticeably improved.
- Sleep Quirks: Initially, there were some hiccups with falling asleep, but they smoothed out.

Pro Tips

- Patience, Frens: It doesn't happen overnight. Give it time.
- Consistency Is Key: Stick to the routine as much as possible for the best results.
- Body Talk: Listening to my body helped me fine-tune things. If something felt off, I tweaked it.
- Be Kind to Yourself: It's okay to slip up now and then. Just hop back on the wagon.
- It's a Package Deal: Sleep, light, diet, and activity – it's all connected. Keeping everything in check makes a huge difference.

This journey has been enlightening for me, and I hope my little cheat sheet helps you find your rhythm too. Remember, it's about making small, sustainable changes that add up to a big impact on your well-being. Let's live our best circadian lives!

If you're interested in living such a lifestyle let me tell you, you're not alone. We're a community of like-minded health conscious people talking in group chats daily and have video calls to talk about our experiences and help each other living a healthier life. Feel free to join us by subscribing and getting access to the groups. Looking forward to get to know you more 🧡

Then I switch devices entirely and post from nostr:npub142gywvjkq0dv6nupggyn2euhx4nduwc7yz5f24ah9rpmunr2s39se3xrj0. Then I open nostr:npub1v5ufyh4lkeslgxxcclg8f0hzazhaw7rsrhvfquxzm2fk64c72hps45n0v5 or nostr:npub1yfg0d955c2jrj2080ew7pa4xrtj7x7s7umt28wh0zurwmxgpyj9shwv6vg and zap my favorite songs and podcasts. If I’m really feeling it, I’ll share them on my #nostr feed.

All under cryptographically signed and published under my npub.

It’s practically beautiful and amazing.

Use the tools. Love #nostr.

i do, and yeah very much like that..


valuable addition


pepe le peux's ftw apparently


Yeah interesting.. Do you think they’re real people or bots? My bias in many case is just that they’re bots, because it seems so silly to me to waste your time being angry like that at someone who doesn’t know you, and that you don’t know. lmao


I just analogised the legacy social business model to try to illuminate it to my wife. It went like this...

First i described the simple nature of the business model - this is key:

There are 3 parties in the relationship.
The company, the companies users, and the companies customers. This is a critical distinction. The users are not the primary customers.

You - the user - typically thinks of yourself as the customer intuitively though, but this is not the case. You are a mere user. Advertisers (and most likely other far more nefarious actors) are the actual CUSTOMERS.

Lets keep it simple and limit to strictly advertisers for now.

Lets imagine I (the company) have a room, and it's raining outside and this room is open to the public (the users). Anyone can come in and spend as much time in this room as you like and there is no upfront cost. It's not "free" as people like to proclaim, but there is no upfront monetary exchange between me (the company) and you (the user).

Now imagine the room is a big square box, and all around the entire room is one way glass. Anyone on the outside of the room can see in, but if you're inside you would have no idea there is anyone outside watching, that can see in, and see you, and everything that you do.

This part is super insidious and exactly like the relationship that
exists within these companies, whereby you would never know their is another party involved, let alone watching and surveiling your every move. And paying to be able to do it. This is where the monetary exchange is happening.

So while you're in the room, escaping the rain,  the room seems like a great product and even more so because there is no upfront cost to you. My customers are all crowded around on the outside of the room staring into the one-way glass and analyzing and assessing your every move.

So fucking creepy.

yeah perfect. I considered muting, but i thought i’d monitor it more first. Tend to mute once the trend is clearly established, or I just really cbf with something specific. Normally just a vibe thing


doubtful.. but who knows


haha no need to apologise. it’s all good. I’m curious if anyone else has noticed any kind of shift. or maybe just a couple anomalies on my side


for sure. in many cases this is true. Often its because people don’t treat digital comms like real comms. They’re detached as if it were a video game.


oh totally, just thought it was weird. My base assumption is that they’re just bots tbh


I’ve received a few strange replies lately. Very un-nostr like.Name calling and seeming negative energy and unkind. Weird 😅🤷♂

It doesn’t bother me, I just kind of shrug and move on, but i have noticed a slight shift. Whether they’re bots or actual angry people is not obvious yet.. but stands as a significant deviation from the last year or two

Like to spin up a relay?

https://relay.tools/signup


I collaborated with Sam Callahan to analyze bitcoin’s correlation with global broad money supply.

The result was that it had higher directional correlation to money supply than other asset classes, at 83%.

We also looked at indicators for when bitcoin is more likely to deviate from liquidity. In other words, what’s usually going on in that other 17%. The answer, generally, is that the asset is coming down after major periods of extreme sentiment.

haha yeah. I don’t think so.. just saying, “what if”

Imagine it came out and he’d quietly stacked more than Saylor 🤣


good advice


Turn off mainstream media. Turn off also mainstream alternative media (that would be your Tucker Carlsons and Joe Rogans). Study and focus on your craft. Go outside. Read a book (actual, paper book). Don’t have pointless conversations. Ignore NPCs. Enjoy life.


The best #bitcoin denominator is not the US dollar. https://image.nostr.build/3f757263c4fd4803f7f83a922db1df36b684ea7d5fce67d46f24372c4e104fc3.jpg


What if Elon has been stacking this whole time, like a total psychopath.

The doggystylecoin thing was just a clever troll of bitcoiners, while helping to throw the mainstream off the scent and give him bulk opportunity to stack before price is USD Peso’s goes intergalactic


Competition is a powerful force

I’ve always found if you are focussed toward something improving; if you track it for all parties and share the information, the baseline performance almost always lift significantly.

Lets do this for governments, nation states and specific to privacy and how these entites can better compete for productive freedom loving sovereign individuals gracing them with their presence.


Can def be better, feel free to contribute https://github.com/L0laL33tz/PrivacyIndex


💚Say hello to Privacy Index: a guide of guides for all things digital privacy.💚

I started working on Privacy Index in the beginning of the year because I was frustrated by the one-fits-all solutions I was being sold by other privacy projects.

Privacy Index is the opposite: it's a resource for resources, so you can choose what tips, tools and tricks best fit your needs.

I would love for this project to grow and encompass all content others have found helpful on their own privacy journey – be it stories that inspired you, books that you read, tools that you use, or guides you found helpful – some of my favorite additions are highlighted below.

Privacy Index is by no means complete. But it's free and open source, so anyone can contribute on github. And the more people contribute, the better it will get 💚

nostr has no global source of truth, and that is a good thing

Out of interest, I follow the progress of a lot of other projects similar to nostr, and a couple links surfaced today:

BlueSky has a big "firehose" connection that streams all updates (new posts, reactions, etc) to subscribers. Unsurprisingly, this is difficult to process except on beefy servers with lots of bandwidth. So, one proposed solution is to strip out all that pesky cryptography (signatures, merkle tree data, etc): https://jazco.dev/2024/09/24/jetstream/

And over on Farcaster, keeping their hubs in sync is too difficult, so they want to make all posts globally sequenced, like a blockchain. The details are still being worked out, but I think it's safe to assume there will be a privileged global sequencer who decides on this ordering (and possibly which posts are included at all): https://github.com/farcasterxyz/protocol/discussions/193

In my opinion, both of these issues are symptoms of an underlying errant philosophy. These projects both want there to be a global source of truth: A single place you can go to guarantee you're seeing all the posts on a thread, from a particular user, etc. On BlueSky that is https://bluesky.app and on Farcaster that is https://warpcast.com .

Advocates of each of these projects of course would dispute this, pointing out that you could always self-host, or somehow avoid depending on their semi-official infrastructure, but the truth is that if you're not on bluesky.app or warpcast.com, you don't exist, and nobody cares that you don't exist.

nostr has eschewed the concept of global source of truth. You can't necessarily be sure you are seeing everything. Conversations may sometimes get fragmented, posts may disappear, and there may be the occasional bout of confusion and chaos. There is no official or semi-official nostr website, app, or relay, and this is a good thing. It means we are actually building a decentralised protocol, not just acting out decentralisation theatre, or pretending we'll get there eventually and that the ends justify the means.

Back when computers were primitive and professional data-centres didn't exist, it was impossible to build mega-apps like Twitter. Protocols had to be decentralised by default -- there was simply no other way. We can learn a lot by looking back to protocols of yesteryear, like Usenet and IRC, and still-popular protocols like email and HTTP. None of these assume global sources of truth, and they are stronger and better for it, as is nostr.

looks like a nice part of the world 👌


v0.1.10 of WoT relay just released

This version allows you to set your . env

ARCHIVAL_SYNC ="FALSE"

Which will stop the relay from archiving every note in the WoT and instead just filter notes that are sent to it

This will save massive amounts of space and hardware requirements, but won't be suitable if you want to use a single relay on your client

It should also continue to encourage clients to implement outbox model instead of having a single relay serve everything

I am now running this mode on my relay

That's a very American view.

He's doing everything possible to hold the hardliners back from all out war in response to NATO expansion over the last 30 years, especially the escalation since 2014.

And it's not just Russia. Most of the net producers globally have had enough of the US-led net consumers bombing the shit out of anyone who opts out.


It's quite the opposite. NATO is a net consumer invading the net producers becsuse they're trying to opt out of slavery.


He is very explicit.

What are these retarded western elites going to so


Clever


Love being exposed to new pod! ty 🫂


Awesome. New pod (to me)

Look fwd to having a listen!


It's great to see OpenSats going outside of Bitcoin and Nostr with Tor and now WireGuard

Welcome 🫂


This post by Riddy made me smile and inspired me to write an intro myself, as I too am new to Nostr.  So here goes.

Hi!  You can call me Bosstone.  Music has always been a huge part of my existence. I am the co-founder of a music service that has grown to 10+ million users over the past 5 years, primarily in Latin America where we are #2 behind Spotify in Mexico's Google Play store music rankings.

Before my entrepreneurial journey began, I spent 7 years in finance.  I was an analyst at an investment bank when Lehman collapsed and I remember that period of time well.  Years after the GFC, I was considered an upper earner in society, but buying a home still felt like a stretch.  Hence began my path down the 'what is money' rabbit hole that eventually led me to #bitcoin.

Like Riddy, I am also not a developer, but I am in a position to influence the music community's understanding of bitcoin, decentralization, privacy, etc.  In fact, I consider it an imperative as  "starving artists" are in the class of people most affected by worsening inflation, yet most are oblivious to the underlying dynamics affecting their quality of life.  Moreover, the bulk of "#crypto" activity (that music execs and artists wrongfully associate with bitcoin) in my industry has revolved around awful Web3 investments and the like.  Unsurprisingly, few music people - from record label workers to rights administrators - actually understand bitcoin.

To that end, I hope to contribute to the Nostr community for now by onboarding members of the creative and creative exec class into our movement.  I may sneak in a few music-related things along the way.

Many aspiring artists are anti-establishment by nature.  Nostr jives perfectly with their world.  They just don't know it yet.  Let's get them there.

Hi everyone, thought it’s about time for a proper introduction here on Nostr!

My name is Riddy, I’m a photographer, sailor and surfer from Australia.

As a photographer, I’ve always felt slightly uncomfortable sharing my content on traditional social media. Largely because I don’t want to feed the beast but also because I know that my audience is being tracked and manipulated.

After listening to quite a few @Jeff Booth interviews, the message of putting your time and energy into the systems and networks you believe in hit home.

I’m not a developer /coder but I can contribute my photography to this growing community! Hoping to connect with other  creatives and artists out there ✌🏽

Cheers,
Riddy

im not sure why, but it doesn't show up in Spotify, so not sure thats because their AI doesn't like some of the language, or if there is something about the actual .xml file they don't like.. but i tested in apple podcast app and fountain (testflight v) and both work on my end..


thats weird.. no, there is no reason i'm aware of. I tested it Tuesday and seemed to work fine.

I dont talk about it much i guess


Today's P2P Nostr using phone-running Relays trough Tor in production apps (works with no hacks) will be remembered as a key milestone in Nostr's history.


Bitcoins are not mined, they are issued over time.

Out of all the misconceptions when it comes to #Bitcoin, the misconception that “miners” are creating “bitcoins” is probably the most asinine one.

If we want Nostr to truly protect privacy and resist censorship—like when X faced a government ban—we need to stop relying on relays with known IPs or domain names.

We need encrypted traffic between clients and servers by default. That means Tor (and networks like I2P and Nym) should just work right out of the box, ideally without leaving the mixnet where traffic could be exposed at the exit node.

💡 A lot of relay operators are already running Tor onion services, which is awesome—but we need to make them easier to discover and use. If a public relay becomes unavailable, we should be able to switch to the Onion service version seamlessly.

What do we need to do to make this happen? First, it’s about getting Nostr relay software to publish the Onion address when it’s set up. Then, it’s about getting clients to handle alternative transports like Tor or I2P natively, letting users choose between IP (TCP/IP), Tor, or other options.

We could also explore mapping DNS records to onion addresses or including the info in HTTP headers. But maybe the most straightforward approach is extending NIP-11 to include alternate transport details so that everything's baked into the protocol.

What do you all think? How can we push this forward? Let’s brainstorm and figure out the best way to support these privacy-preserving networks and keep Nostr resilient. I think we need Tor support in native clients where users can turn it on with a single click. Or maybe even have it attempt Tor as a fallback when the normal way of connecting fails.

This isn’t a big change current relay info ospec here: NIP-11 https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/11.md

the reigning champion of online paranoia 😅👌


good number


debating as a modality for exploring ideas is interesting.

The efficacy and value of it seems highly dependent on the relationship, dynamic and the intention of those participating.

My sense is that when the intention of those individuals deviates from participating in a co-exploration in search of the highest truth, that there is an extremely limited value.

In that case, it tends to be more statement based. When the intention is more aligned toward that a coexploration, it is more about who can ask the better questions.

I am amazed at how far Nostr has come

It hasn’t been down a single day since I joined ✌and it’s been years

We’ve seen waves of Nostriches come and go, but overall we are still here, still strong and still growing


agree totally. But im grateful i witnessed it with my own eyes because it would have been impossible to believe otherwise.

Also; there are coincidences.

nostr is the first social-network where the mums and dads adopt it before the kids.

Which is ironic because normally the parents adopting it is a sign the laggards have arrived and it’s time to move along.

Delete your platform accounts. No fuss. No spectacle. No grand finale, no great exit. Leave their houses, leave their prisons, leave the golden cages behind. They all benefit from the noise that you make, so do the one thing that they can't censor. Be silent. Leave. And leave the noise behind.

HODLing and using Bitcoin can be a strange path to follow. At first, you want to try and 'save people'.

Then after a while, you realise you can't save them because lots of people don't want to be saved.

Help the people who are willing to listen, and be patient about it.
