Hey @npub1tt4…x9ud, did tw suspend your account or did you close it yourself?

2023-07-30 07:37:03

- reply

Yes they can see but cannot engage.
If you only post to free relays, who will see your posts?
If you respond to a viral post will anyone outside your following even see you?
Non-BTC people have zero reach, hence the echo-chamber.

2023-07-29 22:46:00

Sadly currently any nostr user *must* be willing to use bitcoin and pay for a relay in order to get a decent experience, that's the root cause of this being a BTC echo-chamber

Obviously gold would still be demanded in jewelry & medicine.
But would those two be enough to maintain its status as a wealth preserving asset?
Would its status be replaced by another metal? Maybe by the one used in the superconductor itself (copper)

2023-07-29 06:58:57

Say the room temp superconductor (LK-99) is real, it would then replace gold's usage in electronics. (or at least drastically reduce it)
Without its industrial usage, gold's status as a store of value would be dependent on.. what? 😳

Tor now uses Proof of Work to finally solve its long lasting DoS problem.
This is just the start, the era of CAPTCHAs is over.
Btw, this would not be possible without Monero's ASIC/GPU resistant algo #RandomX

Yeah but if you need to pay sats to an ASIC provider, why not just pay them to the relay directly instead?
To me the beauty of PoW based social media is that people wouldn't even need to "pay", it could be a "free" but still quality experience like current social media is.
Of course, everything needs to be paid for one way or another, but paying with your CPU cycles could perhaps be a more seamless experience than sats, on some scenarios.

2023-05-18 05:52:37

Hey, any thoughts in using RandomX (CPU-only POW algo) for these kind of things? So that in long term more clients can provide their own POW and not have ASICs messing things up.

2023-05-15 00:59:27

- reply

Is it using SHA256?
If it's just a POC it's fine, but if you would like to keep it accessible for regular peeps, then consider using a CPU-only mining algo like RandomX

And regarding gold-backed currency issuers, I'll believe in them when I see one last more than 15 years.
For some reason they aren't working...

Why am I being forced to conduct transactions in pesos or USD and not gold/silver coins like in the good ol' days?
Because gold failed as a currency.
You can argue that it's doing fine in other aspects but it definitely doesn't have the attributes to be used as currency, if it did, we would be using it instead of paper/digits backed by nothing.

And your argument is...?
If ETH surpasses BTC's marketcap, will you switch to it and deem it as the superior protocol?

Yes, but I meant that with TOR people can host "non-compliant" relays without fear of being targeted by authorities.

Can't people just zap themselves? I don't think it's the best approach but I agree interactions should be costly, what about Proof of Work?

2023-02-19 19:16:39

Nope, and even if a relay did attempt to censor, all you would need to do is to publish to a relay that doesn't (which can be anonymous / trough TOR)

2023-02-18 20:34:09

- reply

Oh interesting, I see your point.
Well, we can't stop people from revealing their own transactions if they truly want to, and of course people revealing their txs hurts Monero's anon set, thus its privacy, thus its entire purpose.
Two kind of users, NFT bros and digital cash people, completely different motivations and they seem to be destined to collide, destroying each other, hmm, we need to align their incentives somehow.

Also, I'm always referring to data storage, I don't care about NFTs

2023-02-16 16:35:11

- reply

There is already a PDF uploaded to Monero, removing tx_extra will make this more expensive, but it won't stop this, nothing will. Monero at its core is just a data protocol.
I just hope the futile attempts at "banning" stenography won't compromise other aspects of the protocol.
Also, why are u excited for storing data on a ledger that's:
1 - Doomed to collapse by its own emission schedule.
2 - Prone to censorship.

What about incriptions in *Monero* ?
Way more valuable imo... one of them will outlast the other.
