Since the Pre-historic ages and the days of ancient Greece
Right down through the Middle Ages
Planet Earth kept going through changes
And then the Renaissance came and times continued to change
Nothing stayed the same, but there were always renegades
Like Chief Sitting Bull, Tom Paine
Dr. Martin Luther King, Malcolm X
They were renegades of their time and age
So many renegades

Well, that may work for you and your nonstick pan, but cast iron is a different story. I came to learn that it requires a bit more care and attention to maintain but if you give it some love, it'll never let you down.
But I guess if you're satisfied with your easy-to-clean nonstick pan, that's your choice. Just don't come crying to me when you have to replace it in a year or two because the coating has peeled off.
(never would've guessed that arguing about pans was going to be a big thing for me today!)

dude, that sounds gross, so you just soak your nonstick pan full of egg fat and oil or butter or whatever it is you use in water and then cook in it again the next day 🤢 Congrats, you made me use the vomit emoji for the first time ever on nostr 👏

For me it's the opposite, since I discovered that cast iron should only be washed with water and salt, no soap, I've really been enjoying the cast iron and haven't touched the nonstick pan for weeks. I also like that the cast iron pan seems to have inifinte lifetime, while nonsticks' coating always eventually peel away.

I finally installed and tried Wasabi Wallet, and it's really good, the experience is much better and smoother than Samurai. Seems like there's less features, but for someone who wants to keep track of derivative addresses and coinjoin, it might be the best tool out there, especially for beginners. Also seems like coinjoin is cheaper than Samourai's.

Exactly and the incentives allow them to max their revenue if they behave rationally, meaning choosing transactions with higher fees. But now there's a parallel market outside of the protocol that directly competes with financial transactions in which 1 sat is not worth 1 sat anymore: pay a miner in FIAT and they'll mine a full block of JPEGs for you, without any financial transaction because the JPEGer knows they can "resell" each JPEG from that block at a much higher value.
It doesn't break the software, but it changes the incentives for sure, especially if it lasts.

Not to my knowledge... I've read some stuff about having relays update each other but it's a work in progress.
Meanwhile, nostr.wine (a paid relay) are running a filter that can broadcast your notes to the biggest relays and pull data for you from most public relays which addresses your concern.

If you want to explore Global, you're gonna need to pay for 3-5 paid relays (https://relay.exchange/), add then add them to your app relays.
Best way to find people is to look at followers/followings of accounts interesting for you to have a better Home/Timeline.

Too bad Africans can't afford to use Bitcoin because of a higher floor than needed on transaction fees or spin up nodes due to high storage and bandwidth costs.
But at least we got JPEGs and miners can keep their shareholders happy.

2023-02-11 07:03:07

Bitcoin needs to be as cheap and robust as possible. Bitcoin is becoming even more expensive to use now that there's a floor on transactions, nodes will become more expensive faster when they're already way too expensive for most of Africa.
We shouldn't worry about miners, there'll always be miners with access to cheap energy sources ready to work if there are transactions. We should worry about the cost of using Bitcoin for the people of Nigeria instead of accepting a floor on transaction prices.

If I didn't pay taxes, I'd still need to pay someone to take care of my thrash, roads, etc... There'd be several providers and the best one would come on top, but I'd still need to pay someone to do the work, which is btw exactly how relays work.
You can choose to pay the best ones, and the ones with the worst service will be eliminated by the free market, but work deserves fair compensation right?
Are you proposing that they should provide this service for free?
Because that's how you get ads.

They store and route our data, so I guess they deserve some kind of payment for that work (which has a cost) right?
Maybe wouldn't be necessary if most users ran their own relay, but even then, there are still feature big relays would offer.

Hey @npub18kzz4lkdtc5n729kvfunxuz287uvu9f64ywhjz43ra482t2y5sks0mx5sz I'm very curious about the current cost associated with the relay you're running. Do you already some stats that can help you determine if the current access price is viable over the long term? Thanks

2023-02-09 19:34:42

- reply

If spam cannot be solved for free here on nostr, then nostr's model will be similar to that of Twitter (although much cheaper and affordable): pay a few paid relays or you get spam and scammers everywhere.
I'm saying this while being convinced that relays must be paid, they route and store our data and that has a cost, simple as that, and I rather pay a few thousands sats than get ads and god knows what happens to my data.
I'd love to get some stats that help determine if paid relays are billing us enough to be sustainable over the long term...

This is not about stopping anyone, not at all. Everyone is free to enjoy the protocol as it is.
But at the same time permissionlessness and censorship resistance does not mean that a scam suddenly is not a scam anymore. One can adhere to these principles and live by them without suspending judgment about the world around us I think.

2023-02-08 00:12:11

I agree with both your statements, although I also believe that "caveat emptor" is only valid if the buyer actually has the expertise necessary to understand the products/services involved in the transaction. Right now, "buyers" of ordinals seem to have little understanding of what's actually happening or what it is they're acquiring. Even bitcoin veterans seem to be confused in spaces.
So in this case, where do we lean? Scam or Due diligence?
Honestly wondering myself.

2023-02-07 23:59:34

^ this.
Everyone is free to use their money as they see fit but I don't think it's fair to sell someone a sat and convince them through complexity that it's more than a sat because you built a piece of software that connects that sat with some data stored on the chain.
Doesn't sound like a fair transaction if the buyer does not exactly understand what it is they're paying for.

2023-02-07 22:48:33

The biggest issue I have with it is that people right now don't know what it is they're actually buying. Supposed buyers think they're buying a single Sat that is indisputably attached to a specific type of data... but that's not the case. What they're actually paying for should be made as clear as possible.
No problems at all with people buying this stuff and doing what they want with their money, but I kind of disagree with the idea that it's a fair transaction because of this confusion.

2023-02-07 17:40:45

So I got a nostr relay running through #[0] (super easy!), I then added the local relay (no VPN or tailscale for now) to Amethyst (ws://192.168.X.X:XXXX) but it seems like it's not working because the nostr relay's still showing 0 total actions.

For Bitcoin's mission (digital cash/store of value) to succeed on the long term, wouldn't it need to remain as lean and robust as possible?
Why not create another chain for Inscriptions? Would still be fun wouldn't it? Look at us having fun messaging each other on an infrastructure that does not bloat the Bitcoin blockchain.

The point was that I'm curious to know how the trilemma (not sure I got that part) could be solved without relying on owning another account that can itself easily be impersonated.
For examples, you might have seen the note from the guy trying to sell all the TLDs associated with Damus to resell them, it would be easy for someone to acquire a reasonably credible TLD for Damus and use it to try to impersonate the Damus app. Any phishing email is also a good example here I think.
Also, not that many people have a DNS or intend on owning their own DNS, it is not an easy task for an internet user and I don't think it should be a requirement to verify one's ID.
