Hey Nostr DEVS ! Are you ready to integrate the new EU Age Verification into the Nostr clients ?
EU:
"The EU Commission is facilitating a temporary age verification solution until the EU Digital Identity Wallet is available by the end of 2026. The design and development of this solution is supported by a contract awarded to T-Scy (Scytales and T-Systems), which will provide a white-label app in summer 2025. This app will be customisable to allow for translation into national language(s) among other things."

Bitcoin is a DISCOVERY, I posted this opinion of me on Reddit, 8 years ago:
“You see, Satoshi Nakamoto did not ‘invent’ the solutions to the distributed consensus problem. No, he *discovered* it. Distributed consensus is a math problem (aka Byzantine Generals' Problem) , and Satoshi found a solution and very likely the only solution. Pythagoras discovered the a2+b2=c2 properties of a rectangular triangle, and the properties are perpetual, independent of the discovery of those by Pythogoras.
…
I do not want to do Satoshi short, but I think it is the same with the Nakamoto Consensus, the Bitcoin way consensus is reached in a distributed open (anyone can connect, without permission) network of nodes.
….
The stroke of genius was to link 3 things in 1 proces: the validation of transactions, the reward by coinage of new coins in a lottery-like scheme and the costs of participating (solving an energy consuming puzzle), making attacks too expensive to undertake fraudulent activities.
….
It takes the stroke of genius to discover something fundamental at true academic level. Smart ass geeks can develop new technology but Bitcoin is not about technology, it is about a fundamental solution to a long standing math problem.
…
The search for a useful 'blockchain technology' will go on and will prove to be in vain. Meanwhile Bitcoin, which offers value transfer on the protocol level on the Internet, will march on and grow and grow”

I don't understand. UTXO's resulting from a tx in a hidden block will not be accepted by other miners as inputs when included in a newly found block. So this new block will be rejected globally. That is what I would think.
But I am curious to more details, of how this actually might work.

Adobe has deleted all its posts on Twitter-alternative Bluesky after a disastrous April 8 debut that drew over 1,600 angry comments from digital creators. The software giant's innocuous first post asking "What's fueling your creativity right now?" triggered immediate criticism targeting Adobe's controversial subscription model, continual price increases, and AI implementation.

Well, there are many things missing at Nostr to make it a popular public space:
• History
• Searchability (google (sorry))
At X/Twitter I can find tweets from almost 20 yrs ago. At Nostr 2 weeks?
Google, duckduckgo and AI crawlers should be able to access the Notes and other stuff (if we want that as a community).

As an European, I am looking forward to a criss cross Europe road trip this dummer, visiting Tuscany, Monaco, Genua, Torino, Heidelberg and more…
Alessandro Palombo: “Everyone thinks Europe is finished. In 20 years, they'll wish they had bought in early.
AGI takes over. Productivity is infinite. Everything is automated.
So, tell me: what actually becomes scarce?
NOT another piece of software — but authentic human experience.
When machines handle everything, what do people crave? Beauty. Meaning. Significance.
And Europe has been accumulating that for centuries.
It's sitting on the most undervalued asset of the AI age:
- 500+ UNESCO World Heritage sites (the US? 25)
- The world's greatest museums
- 50M+ cultural tourists in France alone
- Centuries-old universities, libraries, cafés
- The birthplace of opera, ballet, fine wine
The real arbitrage? Owning land in places machines can't replicate.
In the AI age, people will split into two groups:
- New "landlords" stacking assets
- New "renters" living off AI welfare (UBI, digital credits, whatever comes next)
So where will the new “landlords” want to live?
Not in a sterile AI-optimized city. Not in a hyper-efficient pod.
They'll want Paris, Rome, Vienna. Cities that weren't built for algorithms, but for the soul.
Europe today is like Bitcoin at $10—misunderstood, underpriced, and wildly asymmetric.
I talk to global investors every day. The smartest ones see it:
In an AI-dominated world, the ultimate luxury won't be another software tool. It'll be the ability to feel human.
Europe has that.
What's your take on this?”

Hi @npub180c…h6w6 , in Damus I cannot like or zap comments without ‘opening’ each one first. That’s two extra actions per zap.
This greatly discourages (me) to zap. By comparison, in Primal I can zap multiple comments by just tap-tap-tapping through the list.
Also, I like to see right away the number of zap and likes of each comment in the list. These number provide useful community-context.
Have these opinions been removed to get a more minimalistic appearance?
I assume this has all been discussed already ? You have link to that?

https://archive.is/2ZGnq

2025-01-16 22:53:03 GMT

Right versus Left is passé: the great dividing line of 2025 pits civic nationalists against global technocrats. The former – including great democracies such as the US, Israel, India and Argentina – believe that elected officials’ principal moral and fiduciary duty is to their country, citizens and constituents. The latter – led by Starmerite Britain and Justin Trudeau’s Canada – are convinced their responsibility is to “the planet”, “human rights”, “international law” and the “liberal international order.”
Trump cares about “his” people; the technocrats care about people in general. Abstractions are dangerous in real-world politics, and often lead to the warping of great ideals. Starmer is actually well-meaning, a true-believer in the righteousness of his mission, but his moral compass is drastically out of whack with that of most British citizens.
