That relay attack is such a straw man. You can say the same thing about a custodial lightning provider rugging you. What’s the solution to that? Running your own node? Well it’s a hell of a lot easier to run your own relay to back up events than it is to manage your own lightning node

I’m not familiar with satslash. Is that related to sat names based on Casey’s docs?
I think the biggest issue with any new unique name protocol is avoiding squatters. You need some means of making it costly to occupy valuable names

I think nostr poses a unique use case where given that there is not just one type of client, there shouldn’t be just one type of relationship. There is space in the protocol to have “friends”, “followers”, “connections”, and many others

Another concern that I have is once you start spreading funds across hundreds of mints, then you start to lose the beauty of how easy and seamless it is to send and receive ecash.

2024-06-01 19:24:41

- reply

With the torrent model, the consequences of a dishonest actor are limited and the incentives to be dishonest are virtually nonexistent. Whereas with ecash there is a financial incentive to rug users and little recourse for users beyond lowering the attackers web of trust score.

I heard some Vc guys talking about something similar a few weeks back. It would be a group chat app where periodically all identities are randomized. That way you would still have “trusted” groups where you know everyone in it, but, you don’t know the identity of any individual sending a message. The hope is that this would allow for a more free discussion of ideas without opening the door to a bunch of spam and trolls.

I would love to have more papers freely published in the open, but it doesn’t seem like it’s worth building this out on Nostr yet. There are lots of other projects working on this and we can always import uploaded papers from there.

With that being said, if this is something that you’re motivated to do, don’t let me stop you!

1. Calling everything inscribed “ugly” is subjective and irrelevant as to whether or not they are scammers
2. You can say that they are spam, but the intention of the inscribers is to attach provenance to their art. You may think that is dumb, but at least understand their intent.
3. You are the one calling them scammers so the burden of proof is on you. I agree that anyone making bs promises about “utility” or shitcoins going up in value are acting maliciously and can be considered a scammer. But if someone is just selling a jpeg to a willing buyer I see absolutely nothing wrong with that. Who are you or I to tell someone what they can or cannot purchase? Bitcoin is freedom money, and it’s nobody business outside of those who are part of the transaction. Sure it may be pure speculation, but who gives a fuck, let them speculate, it’s a free country. Pura vida 🤙
