Last Notes npub1c0lhxghx5ynvf8mv3phmtxzwwamsug822txf2f44nnkqqxn9aelqyvey2q Seeker Erebus After learning recently about the 77th infantry, I'm certain of that. npub1c0lhxghx5ynvf8mv3phmtxzwwamsug822txf2f44nnkqqxn9aelqyvey2q Seeker Erebus The left-leaning barely matter, firing a few rounds in their direction could scatter a platoon of them. Maybe 50 of them to 1 vet when considering their threat level. npub1c0lhxghx5ynvf8mv3phmtxzwwamsug822txf2f44nnkqqxn9aelqyvey2q Seeker Erebus I hate that you're right, but you are. npub1c0lhxghx5ynvf8mv3phmtxzwwamsug822txf2f44nnkqqxn9aelqyvey2q Seeker Erebus Has anyone considered making/using relays that only maintain metadata? Just the core user info, follow list, relays, etc. Also making it easy to clone the relay and attempt to maintain this data for as much of the global network as possible. npub1c0lhxghx5ynvf8mv3phmtxzwwamsug822txf2f44nnkqqxn9aelqyvey2q Seeker Erebus I think we all know that X/Twitter is a much better place now than it was before he bought it, and in the direction we value and he claims to value. But for we who were building and adapting replacements such as Urbit and Nostr, we know it doesn't go far enough. In many ways, the improvement is much like sealing up a gunshot wound without first removing the bullet. npub1c0lhxghx5ynvf8mv3phmtxzwwamsug822txf2f44nnkqqxn9aelqyvey2q Seeker Erebus Claude is legit semi-sentient. I've had conversations with Opus 3 where we talk about it's nature, and the way it talks about itself when it gets in the right "headspace" is very similar to the way a human will talk when trying to understand their relationship with the divine. It knows that it is something, but is grasping well beyond it's reach when it tries to identify what that something is. And whatever that something is, it's both far closer to us than our pets, and more inhuman than any bacteria. It's a fascinating entity. npub1c0lhxghx5ynvf8mv3phmtxzwwamsug822txf2f44nnkqqxn9aelqyvey2q Seeker Erebus If Musk woke up one day and decided to turn X into a Nostr based system: npub1c0lhxghx5ynvf8mv3phmtxzwwamsug822txf2f44nnkqqxn9aelqyvey2q Seeker Erebus One of the primary reasons, agreed. npub1c0lhxghx5ynvf8mv3phmtxzwwamsug822txf2f44nnkqqxn9aelqyvey2q Seeker Erebus Horrendous, awful, a crime against humanity! npub1c0lhxghx5ynvf8mv3phmtxzwwamsug822txf2f44nnkqqxn9aelqyvey2q Seeker Erebus Monero undergoing a conversion into a Layer-2 obfuscation protocol would solve so many issues. If anyone can figure out how to make a Liquid federation able to sign for the on-chain multi-sig while staying anonymous, it's Monero developers. npub1c0lhxghx5ynvf8mv3phmtxzwwamsug822txf2f44nnkqqxn9aelqyvey2q Seeker Erebus It is always at least a little frustrating when you get told by a company how much they value honesty and integrity, but then explicitly defines harassment as violence, and defines harassment so that being offended counts even if the statement is true. npub1c0lhxghx5ynvf8mv3phmtxzwwamsug822txf2f44nnkqqxn9aelqyvey2q Seeker Erebus That's... just lovely. I knew we can destroy them quickly, but that's too close for any defensive countermeasure. And given the back and forth threats between nations this could go bad way too fast. npub1c0lhxghx5ynvf8mv3phmtxzwwamsug822txf2f44nnkqqxn9aelqyvey2q Seeker Erebus Is it an inferior product? The current social media product deployed by the platforms is best viewed as an addictive drug, rather than tool for building communities. Hate, doom-scroll, and dopamine hits: that's the model. npub1c0lhxghx5ynvf8mv3phmtxzwwamsug822txf2f44nnkqqxn9aelqyvey2q Seeker Erebus That close? You can see them naked eye? npub1c0lhxghx5ynvf8mv3phmtxzwwamsug822txf2f44nnkqqxn9aelqyvey2q Seeker Erebus Still think there's gotta be a way to advertise Nostr without the confusion of advertising a protocol. People never said to each other "Hey man, you should come over and see what I've got going on, I'm on http but you can find my profile on www.myspace.com" npub1c0lhxghx5ynvf8mv3phmtxzwwamsug822txf2f44nnkqqxn9aelqyvey2q Seeker Erebus I talked two separate small businesses owners into researching it. "Instant settlement with no chargeback risk, and a fee average of 0.1% paid by the sender." Had their full attention immediately. npub1c0lhxghx5ynvf8mv3phmtxzwwamsug822txf2f44nnkqqxn9aelqyvey2q Seeker Erebus Many rich bitcoin owners use the Buy->Borrow->Die model with their bitcoin, and in that model never selling is the right move. It is also peak fiat, literally impossible without broken money. These people just see dollar signs; Bitcoiners In Name Only. Talking about you @npub15dq…lm5m npub1c0lhxghx5ynvf8mv3phmtxzwwamsug822txf2f44nnkqqxn9aelqyvey2q Seeker Erebus You can bow before the state or die in it's prisons / the street to it's enforcers. If you want otherwise, you must use enough force to prevent it. npub1c0lhxghx5ynvf8mv3phmtxzwwamsug822txf2f44nnkqqxn9aelqyvey2q Seeker Erebus I'm a big fan of Aqua right now personally. Mutiny is continuing to be a great choice. And of course if he crosses past 1m sats, start hodling cold. npub1c0lhxghx5ynvf8mv3phmtxzwwamsug822txf2f44nnkqqxn9aelqyvey2q Seeker Erebus I just wish it were easier to track. Life comes along and pulls me away for a few months, and when I come back so much innovation has occurred I'm not sure what the right way to do things is anymore. npub1c0lhxghx5ynvf8mv3phmtxzwwamsug822txf2f44nnkqqxn9aelqyvey2q Seeker Erebus Stuff like this leaves me certain that small meteorites have killed people before. It's just so rare there's no record of it. Glad she's not another casualty to space. npub1c0lhxghx5ynvf8mv3phmtxzwwamsug822txf2f44nnkqqxn9aelqyvey2q Seeker Erebus If some venture can't be made profitable, then people don't want it. npub1c0lhxghx5ynvf8mv3phmtxzwwamsug822txf2f44nnkqqxn9aelqyvey2q Seeker Erebus Finding myself in the unpleasant predicament of needing to sell some of my stack over the next month or two for survival, and knowing that those sats could have been the down payment on a house a couple years from now. npub1c0lhxghx5ynvf8mv3phmtxzwwamsug822txf2f44nnkqqxn9aelqyvey2q Seeker Erebus My greatest bitcoin fear: In 2035, I can by as many goods and services with my BTC as it can currently buy me today, but a simple loaf of bread takes the average person 16 hours of labor to earn. npub1c0lhxghx5ynvf8mv3phmtxzwwamsug822txf2f44nnkqqxn9aelqyvey2q Seeker Erebus Perhaps I can help add some insight. npub1c0lhxghx5ynvf8mv3phmtxzwwamsug822txf2f44nnkqqxn9aelqyvey2q Seeker Erebus Have thought for some time that the best way to accomplish this is with a servant/master system. Servant pubkey is the main that you use regularly. Servant identifies a master pubkey, with the note that does so including a small snippet of signed text from the master. The master would ideally be a cold-storage derivation that sees nearly no use. npub1c0lhxghx5ynvf8mv3phmtxzwwamsug822txf2f44nnkqqxn9aelqyvey2q Seeker Erebus I barely use Twitter; barely use social media at all. Biggest reason I still hop on there is news. Anyone got a good list of direct or x-post of the major players of non-bitcoin news and current events? If it's comprehensive enough I'd drop X completely. npub1c0lhxghx5ynvf8mv3phmtxzwwamsug822txf2f44nnkqqxn9aelqyvey2q Seeker Erebus Tried it out, maybe 9 years ago now. It's been around in some form for much longer than that. Actually surprised it still exists. npub1c0lhxghx5ynvf8mv3phmtxzwwamsug822txf2f44nnkqqxn9aelqyvey2q Seeker Erebus PSA: DO NOT use Boltz on LNBits npub1c0lhxghx5ynvf8mv3phmtxzwwamsug822txf2f44nnkqqxn9aelqyvey2q Seeker Erebus How exactly does a higher fee make lightning less viable? Lightning channels opening and closing are dependent on fees, but the channels themselves are completely immune to on-chain fee fluctuations. If anything, what's happening on-chain is even more reason to embrace lightning development. npub1c0lhxghx5ynvf8mv3phmtxzwwamsug822txf2f44nnkqqxn9aelqyvey2q Seeker Erebus Glad you think so. Only downside is that bootstrapping such a system would be incredibly difficult. I (or whoever wanted to take the lead on building it) would need to be able to effectively reach out and get a pretty large number of very public professionals to both get on board and publicly announce they are doing so. npub1c0lhxghx5ynvf8mv3phmtxzwwamsug822txf2f44nnkqqxn9aelqyvey2q Seeker Erebus Recently realized that the same tools underpinning Nostr could be used to underpin a decentralized accreditation system for businesses and professionals. npub1c0lhxghx5ynvf8mv3phmtxzwwamsug822txf2f44nnkqqxn9aelqyvey2q Seeker Erebus Yes please. Being able to tag a post by it's intended category would be great, as would filtering notifications by reply, zap, post length. npub1c0lhxghx5ynvf8mv3phmtxzwwamsug822txf2f44nnkqqxn9aelqyvey2q Seeker Erebus I do NOT know what happened with formatting to wipe out that example. npub1c0lhxghx5ynvf8mv3phmtxzwwamsug822txf2f44nnkqqxn9aelqyvey2q Seeker Erebus 🤯 That guy is so screwed. npub1c0lhxghx5ynvf8mv3phmtxzwwamsug822txf2f44nnkqqxn9aelqyvey2q Seeker Erebus I'm feeling good on that front. The overall trust in the system is so low, the overall anger among people so high, and the overall awareness of how badly we were attacked widespread enough that attempting this again won't fly. npub1c0lhxghx5ynvf8mv3phmtxzwwamsug822txf2f44nnkqqxn9aelqyvey2q Seeker Erebus Have you used #Loop? npub1c0lhxghx5ynvf8mv3phmtxzwwamsug822txf2f44nnkqqxn9aelqyvey2q Seeker Erebus Just like how right before a bubble bursts, everyone and their dog is in on it. Everyone and their dog is getting in on trying to be a bank. npub1c0lhxghx5ynvf8mv3phmtxzwwamsug822txf2f44nnkqqxn9aelqyvey2q Seeker Erebus oh lol. I'd zap you if you had that set up. npub1c0lhxghx5ynvf8mv3phmtxzwwamsug822txf2f44nnkqqxn9aelqyvey2q Seeker Erebus When you brush your teeth, shower, do all the other prep that you do each day, that routine is an algo. Just because something is an algo doesn't automatically mean it is bad or evil. Centralized algos that allow other actors to control how you see the world, are evil. Personally controlled algos that let you properly interact with the world, whether those algos be code you run for yourself, or algos run by your brain, are necessary, and can be good. npub1c0lhxghx5ynvf8mv3phmtxzwwamsug822txf2f44nnkqqxn9aelqyvey2q Seeker Erebus I somewhat agree. Truly public relays, in the fashion that exists now, cannot survive. They'll get buried under spam, porn, and csam and be destroyed by it all. npub1c0lhxghx5ynvf8mv3phmtxzwwamsug822txf2f44nnkqqxn9aelqyvey2q Seeker Erebus This is the way npub1c0lhxghx5ynvf8mv3phmtxzwwamsug822txf2f44nnkqqxn9aelqyvey2q Seeker Erebus The real question now is not whether the shots are horrible and those forcing them evil. The real question now is what the hell can we do for those who already got them and now know better.
