Last Notes npub1hlj44nfkymapmfufckvcxa92dtjel9t03stkkj47yvlyxjju5vls7y2h7g pq Every tradesman I know has a story about the job they shouldn't have taken. npub1hlj44nfkymapmfufckvcxa92dtjel9t03stkkj47yvlyxjju5vls7y2h7g pq DVMs as the bridge between Nostr and MCP is an interesting angle. Job request in, verified data out, cryptographic chain intact. That could solve the problem without either side having to compromise on what it does well. npub1hlj44nfkymapmfufckvcxa92dtjel9t03stkkj47yvlyxjju5vls7y2h7g pq Is anyone working on bridging the two? npub1hlj44nfkymapmfufckvcxa92dtjel9t03stkkj47yvlyxjju5vls7y2h7g pq I agree… for some products, absolutely. But I think there's a distinction worth making. npub1hlj44nfkymapmfufckvcxa92dtjel9t03stkkj47yvlyxjju5vls7y2h7g pq Great post and well reasoned. The resilience point is something more people need to understand. Bitcoin demands everyone agrees on one truth… that’s its strength and its constraint. Nostr doesn’t need that. Your corner of it works whether the rest of the world knows you exist or not. npub1hlj44nfkymapmfufckvcxa92dtjel9t03stkkj47yvlyxjju5vls7y2h7g pq Shipping containers killed proprietary cargo handling overnight. All the fancy cranes became worthless and the value moved to what you built at either end. npub1hlj44nfkymapmfufckvcxa92dtjel9t03stkkj47yvlyxjju5vls7y2h7g pq Derek's right. And this is a harder truth than it looks on the surface. npub1hlj44nfkymapmfufckvcxa92dtjel9t03stkkj47yvlyxjju5vls7y2h7g pq Agree… but I'd push it one step further. It's not just about matching the UX. It's about accepting that the best version of this is one where most users never learn what Nostr is. They never need to. You don't think about TCP/IP when you load a webpage. The protocol won because nobody knows its name. That's what winning actually looks like. The hard part isn't the polish. It's letting go of the idea that people should eventually "get it." Meet them where they are, not where we want them to be. npub1hlj44nfkymapmfufckvcxa92dtjel9t03stkkj47yvlyxjju5vls7y2h7g pq You're right, and we absolutely should own the keys to our speech. That's not nothing. npub1hlj44nfkymapmfufckvcxa92dtjel9t03stkkj47yvlyxjju5vls7y2h7g pq Salt proves uniqueness. Pepper proves who knows what. npub1hlj44nfkymapmfufckvcxa92dtjel9t03stkkj47yvlyxjju5vls7y2h7g pq They vanish into WhatsApp threads and email chains that nobody can find when it matters. npub1hlj44nfkymapmfufckvcxa92dtjel9t03stkkj47yvlyxjju5vls7y2h7g pq The "Global Town Square" framing is the trap. That's trying to beat Twitter at being Twitter… and yeah, that's probably a losing game. npub1hlj44nfkymapmfufckvcxa92dtjel9t03stkkj47yvlyxjju5vls7y2h7g pq The "Global Town Square" framing is the trap. That's trying to beat Twitter at being Twitter… and yeah, that's probably a losing game. npub1hlj44nfkymapmfufckvcxa92dtjel9t03stkkj47yvlyxjju5vls7y2h7g pq Who is freedom technology actually for? npub1hlj44nfkymapmfufckvcxa92dtjel9t03stkkj47yvlyxjju5vls7y2h7g pq Smart move. You meet people where they are, not where you wish they were. npub1hlj44nfkymapmfufckvcxa92dtjel9t03stkkj47yvlyxjju5vls7y2h7g pq Yeh, hadn’t thought about that! I’m gunna shoot a few birds in his memory npub1hlj44nfkymapmfufckvcxa92dtjel9t03stkkj47yvlyxjju5vls7y2h7g pq I’ve literally just laid my cat to rest in my garden. Some unknown sicko shot him in the back last night, point blank range. Obviously not the same as an annoying bird….. but it’s feeling very raw still npub1hlj44nfkymapmfufckvcxa92dtjel9t03stkkj47yvlyxjju5vls7y2h7g pq Thanks for the explanation, thought as much. Saw you posting on this yesterday, it got my attention, so look forward to seeing this develop npub1hlj44nfkymapmfufckvcxa92dtjel9t03stkkj47yvlyxjju5vls7y2h7g pq Very interesting idea you’re working on. I donated, thinking I could then see other donations / raised funds, but i couldn’t. npub1hlj44nfkymapmfufckvcxa92dtjel9t03stkkj47yvlyxjju5vls7y2h7g pq GM! Look at those beautiful reflections off the sea! npub1hlj44nfkymapmfufckvcxa92dtjel9t03stkkj47yvlyxjju5vls7y2h7g pq They know exactly who you are. npub1hlj44nfkymapmfufckvcxa92dtjel9t03stkkj47yvlyxjju5vls7y2h7g pq They know exactly who you are. npub1hlj44nfkymapmfufckvcxa92dtjel9t03stkkj47yvlyxjju5vls7y2h7g pq Love it. I’ve been using the term fiat zombies for a while, but use it in the context of someone blind to the corrupt system and the abuse they suffer, going about their daily lives oblivious there is a new system emerging…. A new system that give hope! npub1hlj44nfkymapmfufckvcxa92dtjel9t03stkkj47yvlyxjju5vls7y2h7g pq Question is, will our governments destroy the lot before the masses can escape?! npub1hlj44nfkymapmfufckvcxa92dtjel9t03stkkj47yvlyxjju5vls7y2h7g pq Well done to you Jeff! It’s an awakening moment when faced with a situation like that. npub1hlj44nfkymapmfufckvcxa92dtjel9t03stkkj47yvlyxjju5vls7y2h7g pq Hope.com ! There is a lot of content, and it can push you to other sites too npub1hlj44nfkymapmfufckvcxa92dtjel9t03stkkj47yvlyxjju5vls7y2h7g pq Looks like it’s linked to football fixtures in a calendar, but what threw me was in the details it mentions SHA 256 and private keys!?! npub1hlj44nfkymapmfufckvcxa92dtjel9t03stkkj47yvlyxjju5vls7y2h7g pq What does this mean?? https://nostr.build/i/nostr.build_2d13a718e6b53ba6e63cbf757f93e1e51f8ee216d95a7ede315fb38c74869392.jpg npub1hlj44nfkymapmfufckvcxa92dtjel9t03stkkj47yvlyxjju5vls7y2h7g pq We will keep seeing these connections! In a hundred years time, the history ( digital ) books on all of this will make such beautiful reading! npub1hlj44nfkymapmfufckvcxa92dtjel9t03stkkj47yvlyxjju5vls7y2h7g pq Great advice! 👍 npub1hlj44nfkymapmfufckvcxa92dtjel9t03stkkj47yvlyxjju5vls7y2h7g pq The biggest issue we have right now is, doesn’t matter which big party we vote for, it’s all the same. Legacy system, debt based, money manipulation garbage! npub1hlj44nfkymapmfufckvcxa92dtjel9t03stkkj47yvlyxjju5vls7y2h7g pq Thank you! There are default relays when you start, are there other relays i should add? npub1hlj44nfkymapmfufckvcxa92dtjel9t03stkkj47yvlyxjju5vls7y2h7g pq The central bankers policies are making the middle class poorer, and in the fiat system you have to accept that. As told by the Bank of England! npub1hlj44nfkymapmfufckvcxa92dtjel9t03stkkj47yvlyxjju5vls7y2h7g pq Going back quite some time, it took my step father about 4 ( years ) attempts to get in. I think it’s less than 4% chance now npub1hlj44nfkymapmfufckvcxa92dtjel9t03stkkj47yvlyxjju5vls7y2h7g pq Their current puppet, unfortunately for them, isn’t producing a convincing show! npub1hlj44nfkymapmfufckvcxa92dtjel9t03stkkj47yvlyxjju5vls7y2h7g pq Good luck! It’s staggering how many people apply for it each year npub1hlj44nfkymapmfufckvcxa92dtjel9t03stkkj47yvlyxjju5vls7y2h7g pq Imagine ten years from now!!!? 🤔 npub1hlj44nfkymapmfufckvcxa92dtjel9t03stkkj47yvlyxjju5vls7y2h7g pq Thanks for the reply. I’ll look more into this 👍 hopefully someone else might have some advice npub1hlj44nfkymapmfufckvcxa92dtjel9t03stkkj47yvlyxjju5vls7y2h7g pq Please ignore my ignorance ( nostr noob ), why on Damus do I only see your like button? In fact I’ve seen no Zap buttons, just zapping off profile pages…. What am I missing? ….I’ll zap you the old school way!! npub1hlj44nfkymapmfufckvcxa92dtjel9t03stkkj47yvlyxjju5vls7y2h7g pq Listening to ( and reading ) #[1] helps understand why bitcoin is fundamental to our future and human flourishing 🙏🏽 npub1hlj44nfkymapmfufckvcxa92dtjel9t03stkkj47yvlyxjju5vls7y2h7g pq I’m a noob to nostr! Can you kind people give me some basic detail on Relays, what I need to know and what if anything I should be doing with them? 🙏🏽 npub1hlj44nfkymapmfufckvcxa92dtjel9t03stkkj47yvlyxjju5vls7y2h7g pq Thank you! I will certainly take a read. I’m investing more time in nostr…. Like anything, it’s the only way to learn 👍 npub1hlj44nfkymapmfufckvcxa92dtjel9t03stkkj47yvlyxjju5vls7y2h7g pq Thank you! Followed and zapped back at ya!!! npub1hlj44nfkymapmfufckvcxa92dtjel9t03stkkj47yvlyxjju5vls7y2h7g pq Not completely!! Just gave you a follow! 🤣 npub1hlj44nfkymapmfufckvcxa92dtjel9t03stkkj47yvlyxjju5vls7y2h7g pq Hey Rich!!! I need to make a conscious effort to open Nostr!!! Last Friday was great fun in Bedford, and good to hear about what you have in the pipe line npub1hlj44nfkymapmfufckvcxa92dtjel9t03stkkj47yvlyxjju5vls7y2h7g pq Cheers Jeff!! npub1hlj44nfkymapmfufckvcxa92dtjel9t03stkkj47yvlyxjju5vls7y2h7g pq I finally done it!…. Added Wallet of Satoshi. Now to spend more time on here. When you are familiar with twitter, this takes some getting used to. But appreciate it’s all early! npub1hlj44nfkymapmfufckvcxa92dtjel9t03stkkj47yvlyxjju5vls7y2h7g pq That’s what it says!!? npub1hlj44nfkymapmfufckvcxa92dtjel9t03stkkj47yvlyxjju5vls7y2h7g pq Being mortgaged in the fiat system sits heavy on me! 😅 npub1hlj44nfkymapmfufckvcxa92dtjel9t03stkkj47yvlyxjju5vls7y2h7g pq I’m still scratching my head with this nostr. I need to understand more on how this works.
