No. It can be used to improve DNS seeds which share node addresses for bootstrapping.
Although I am not sure if others would agree with this approach to support nodes with non-default ports in seeders. Cc: @npub1p23…rnl6

Let me know if you need NIP 5 addresses ending with rugmedaddy.info. These can be used to create QR stickers, cards etc. and shared with people at conferences.

1. First thing you can do as capital provider is to stop misleading. Its not necessary that only CEOs will get arrested. Tornado Cash smart contract still works and being used.
2. Nostr is a bunch of clients and relays. Clients can censor, in fact there are NIPs for it: NIP-56, NIP-51. Relays can censor some events and a few relays share this info using NIP 11.
A nostr developer and relay operator can be asked to "moderate" and they do control things.
3. Even ecash is being promoted as censorship resistant although its not. Mints can enforce KYC for mint, melt, swap etc. at some point and censor some users based on different things.

NIP 9 and NIP 40 allows clients to request deletion of events. Relays delete them most of the times. Not looking for security but to avoid manual deletion of events after shitposting. A user could enable expiry, shitpost for a few hours and forget it.

2024-07-16 08:57:14

Is there a nostr client that allows you to post things with an expiry? So the events will be deleted automatically after some time.

This is the IP address for a DNS resolver: 1.1.1.1
You can connect to the nostr relays that published this note, use this IP address to connect with DNS resolver. Associating npubs with IP addresses isn't a big deal either.
However, nostr works best when its kept simple. Adding more complexity and trying to do everything ends up in a system that cannot do basic things properly.
I had several options for joinstr and researched different protocols, distributed networks etc. however nostr was the easiest to work with because of its simplicity.

Freedom tech should give the users freedom to hold their own keys and do transactions permissionlessly. Neither custodians nor additional trusted third parties allow for this freedom.

- Create a vulnerable webpage that sends the private key to attacker

Ecash users do not hold any bitcoin and mints custody bitcoin for them. These users cant even hold their ecash tokens and need relays for it, so they can do anything for convenience.

User has to trust the nostr relay and mint for using this "nostr balance" . We increased the trusted third parties from 1 to 2 and also added the risk of losing funds if private key is stolen.

I don't think you read the docs or looked at the code. Joinstr is a protocol. I have built CLI, web app and electrum plugin as clients to use it. CLI and web app use full node.
You can create your own app that follows the same protocol if you don't like one of these. I am presently working on electrum plugin because I am the only contributor. Even electrum plugin can be used with own electrum personal server for better privacy.
