Last Notes npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist You put a man without any respect for democracy in power to free one man from prison? You can check from following politic news but politics does affect you. The demise of American democracy will affect you. Good luck. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist Fundamentally, if we want rights we need to fight for them in the political system. Freedome tech makes it harder to outlaw privacy and limit freedom of speech. Companies does not have the same rights as people. If we stop relying on centralised companies we have more rights. Freedome tech makes enforcement harder. Torrenting is the example that comes to mind. Unlimited access music and movie streaming would imo not have happened without p2p piracy. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist Followed matrix quite closely for a long time. I have never really liked the user interface. I actually started to onboard people but they complained quite a lot. It used to be increasingly slow and unstable, that have gotten a lot better I think. SimpleX seems quite new to me. Will have to look into it. But it will be hard to beat the spousal approval factor and intense scrutiny that the signal is under. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist What do you see as the thing I should use instead of signal and what is the trade off? Finnally starting to get traction with people moving onto signal. Seems like a very hard step to move platform again... npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist Why is it a waste? npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist A really good question. Must be neo-liberalism. I like the idea of a free market world. Humanty shows its best side when we are able to cooperate on a global scale. They loose me when they think markets is the solution to everything, even things that create awful markets like healthcare, schools, etc.. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist Private platforms and actors = moderation Public platforms and actors = censorship Private platforms have the right to moderate. Moderation will increase on nostr as well. It is just that nostr is the innovation to separate identity from a specific moderator. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist That is indeed how 99% of people think. It is the "I have nothing to hide"/"nobody is interested in me" equivalent. I would expect the paranoid crypto anarchists to get a severe allergic reaction to giving up that kind of power even if they do not require the freedom right now. I would not argue against having a decoy government phone to keep up the appearance of being a normal citizen. That is not my level of paranoia though... npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist Any suggestion for good "community" nostr apps? Looking to have an alternative to the local Facebook group. Something along the lines of being able to join a community by scanning a QR code/follow a link. Then you are only shown notes and replies from the community. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist I can not understand the large number of people that are willing to sacrifice a lot to decentralice money and social media but use a phone that they need the governments and a private companies permission to run software on. I understand that 99% people do not care about neither until it is to late. But I would assume we, the 1% paranoid crypto anarchists would care about both. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist At least publicly, there is a worry from politics that cash is dissapearing. Not from a privacy aspect of course, but from a robustness aspect. In a crisis, cash is king. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist Dehumanization is dangerous. This is how we end up doing the most horrible things to each other. From a purely strategic sense. Violence feeds violence. Any violence that can be avoided gives makes the road shorter to a peaceful co-existence of Russia and Ukraine in the future. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist As I understand mixers, it is like everyone putting their coins in a pot to melt the coins and create new ones. Everyone then takes out one coin each. To an outside observer they just know what coins went in an what coins went out. Not any relation between them. So it is a lot better than just switching coins with each other. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist First episode I listened to was about why there would be no more episodes. Related to my frustration at leftist open source community for not appreciating bitcoin at all, and beeing aleanated from most bitcoiner because they have so many other weird ideas. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist "In both regulations, purely decentralised protocols are left out." npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist Diversity and competition , relays and clients can try things and follow visions freely without having the responsibility of the network that a centralized company have. Multiple different solutions can co exists while keeping a network effect together. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist Best thing I have read in ages #nevent1q…quwj npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist I would worry about collisions. The object with the id could livee longer than then pointer. When the memmory is free again we might have a new different object at the same point in memmory... npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist I think you are right that bitcoin should be for money. But not because it was the original intent, fuck Satoshi, kill your heroes, it should be money because i belive that is where it will do the biggest positive impact on the world. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist Yes we can not stop it, nor should we. But are you as exited about a future with a bitcoin blockhains full of rich people's jpegs as opposed to a future with a blockchain full off developing world people's channel open and close transactions? To me it higligt that bitcoins utility is threatened by global inequality. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist When shit hits the fan, that is when you pay for your past convenience. #nevent1q…3h7w npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist There is an "install" option to add a webpage to the home screen in Firefox on android. Seems to work fine. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist That was the first one I tried... But the add to Firefox button i greyed out and not working... https://i.imgur.com/HtBJzCM.png npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist Not finding any NIP-07 extensions for Firefox on android at all.... npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist Would be cool to have a feed with people close, but for that it zip code is way to fine-grained. Worked with maps before, any assumption you make about zip codes will break somewhere. Maybe some GPS coordinate grid, easiest could be to remove some digits at the end of the coordinated. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist Northern Europe. And I would have to be really desperate to want to live in 🇺🇸 😉 npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist Indeed, it is extra special as it is the first spring I have my own. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist Digging in the garden and learning postgres ☀️ https://i.imgur.com/fB2nkPj.jpg npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist I think the word Faith is central to my problem with religion. You HAVE faith, not convinced by the evidence into faith. (That is at least the picture I have gotten after speeking to and reading religious people) npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist All top 5 in HDI are in 20 twenty of lowest importance of religion. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist Good example could be to compare https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_Development_Index and https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Importance_of_religion_by_country npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist The argument that religious beliefs are good for society is IMO very week. I see very little correlation between safe, prosperous, high-trust societies and religious beliefs. What I see is religion beeing used as an effective excuses to do what you would have otherwise already done, bee it good and bad. The issues with that is of course that we often exempt religious beliefs from the scrutiny and demands we place on other beliefs. Both demands from within and for each others. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist People ask for features but reliability often has a bigger impact on experience. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist America is really good at things that private enterprise does well. Other things like planning cities and generally creating a society where people thrive, not so much. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist It is very dangerous to use past performance as an indicator for future performance. We bitcoin maxis should also remember that more often for what it's worth. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist Do you want to produce an OS image? npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist Hashtag emojis can easily be changed later, so just go for it and if someone have a better idea later it can just change. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist Reminds me of the the saying. Most people overestimate what can happen in a year and underestimate what can happen in a decade. 2 years is such an incredible short time. Applying general purpose technology takes time. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist Compose probably turned 3 hours of work setting up my relay to 20 minutes. dB, relay, proxy. Glue the stuff together and done! npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist I prefer using containers and docker-compose to configure it all. Dockerfiles and docker-compose.yml force me to document what I had to do to get something working. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist #[0] recommend npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist Verifying my Nostr Nests identity: sv2O0lvASTafkQhQuSsv3mbEMbmF8BrHsNYfSMNemog https://nostrnests.com npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist I do not envy the politician that want to try and enact this as a policy... 🙈 npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist Higher taxes would reduce velocity right? VAT/income tax will shrink the money supply in proportion to the velocity. If money moves really fast it will be taxed much more than if it just sits still in a bank account. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist I think this clearly shows that regular people should never know there is a lightning network nor that there is something called on chain. bitcoin should just take 2 seconds to send and cost 2 cents. Merchants accepting bitcoin in a way that does not meet this requirement is doing the network more harm than good right now. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist Worried about the #[0] trend. Feels like the proof of stake version of nostr while paid relays with lightning is the proof of work version. The user experience of having to convince 5 people you are not a bot before gaining proper access to the platform seems bad. If this is popular you might have issues to get the attention of verified people beacuse they filter out non verified bots. Reminds me of the torrenting sites where you where required to build a reputation by seeding but it was essentially impossible to get a good ratio as a new user. The decentralization aspect is troubling as well. This does not look to be just another NIP. It is by putting some people at the top of a trust hierarchy. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist Finnaly a good use of decentraliserad social media! On our way to the forest in the cargo bike! #DogsOfNostr https://i.imgur.com/thZXREw.jpg npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist Depending on where you are coming from, but making home made food, listening to when you are full, varied foods including vegtable/fruit, and reduce sugar goes a long way. Processed meat and beef can also be good to reduce, appears in a lot of studies in the wrong column. Incorporating som lentils, peas, and/or beans are good. Olive oil also. I am a fan of the milder taste of canola oil for cooking. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist Use podman instead? 😉 npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist We can never guarantee that governments will not make it illegal to use bitcoin in a pseudonymous way. Depending on technology we can make it more or less difficult. For example, It is much harder to limit the freedom of individuals than it is to limit the freedom companies are allowed to give customers. Further, torrenting is a good example of technology making legislation inefficient even if it actually becomes illegal for individuals. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist I care about buying groceries with bitcoin. Government can and and should ask questions if large unexplained sums appear. That does not mean that we should be ok with every transaction beein de-anonymized. There is still a value in moving away from the current system where all interactions with digital money is through companies with KYC requirements. My fear is that we just recreate the current system but with lightning as a settlement layer. We should aim to win back more freedoms than that. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist Loss of funds is not my primary concern. I see a clear risk that KYC-free custodial LN wallets will go the way of the KYC-free exchange. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist Non bitcoin/nostr-dev content Could maybe be bootstrapped with good account switching UX as bitcoiners have other interests as well. Normalize and make it easy to have multiple accounts for different interests. Better search and suggestions for people to get past the spam and bitcoiner content. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist Companies making billions in profits and firing people beacuse they updated their excel sheets with a new risk free rate to discount future earnings. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist If you want to do really fancy stuff with containers take a look at the SDKs. You can run either docker or podman as the backend. https://podman.io/blogs/2020/08/10/podman-go-bindings.html https://docs.docker.com/engine/api/sdk/ npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist The hardware wallet will make it really hard to take your bitcoin even if your main computer/phone is compromised. The steel backup protects you from the even larger dangers to your bitcoin: water, fire, and someone cleaning out your papers. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist Will of course depend on the amount of bitcoin and your threat model. Hardware wallet with a metal seed backup is a sweet spot for many. For example a coldcard + cryptosteel capsule. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist https://www.theonion.com/spacex-crew-member-realizes-he-fired-after-being-locked-1850213418 npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist Alright, that is what I hoped for. I might not share you deep suspicion of government (not growing up in the US probably helped 😅) But "the problem is real even if I hate all the solutions I can think of" is coherent and impressive position. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist Decentralization is really hard. But I am sceptical the solution lies in the buzzwords I hear at work. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist Sometimes it's is simplicity and limitations that foster the greatest innovations. In many cases less is more. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist I know climate change has ended up on one side of that weird "culture war" or whatever Americans are up to. But do you really think that climate change is not a major concern? npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist Decentralization has a network effect. Also the initial userbase preferences. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist I am using fedora silverblue. There is also a more traditional fedora workstation just like there are different flavors of Ubuntu. A tip is to try them out in GNOME boxes. That way you do not need to reinstall the entire computer to try out something new. There are no wrong choices, pick what works well for you. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist Why? Only to send? npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist Just uninstalled Twitter from my phone. That platform meant a lot to me, but enough is enough. Indirectly supporting that heartless asshole has stopped being an option. Will spend the time saved cuddling with the dog and working on my nostr relay. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist What is roughly the difference between relay implementations? Working on my own relay (mostly for fun and learning). Would be nice if it ended up in the "easy to get a client working with" category 😅 npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist https://media.giphy.com/media/YYfEjWVqZ6NDG/giphy.gif https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/223#discussion_r1125491704 npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist Had been away from my phone to long and missed that #[3] put us all to work bringing down github. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist Would the goal be a GitHub like experience but decentralized? npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist iPhone owners have no recourse when this happens. Shows the importance having control of the computers in your life. #[0] npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist 203 sats, I'll survive the rug pull 😅 npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist I did indeed! ⚡ npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist With only paid relays enabled for global I get some value from mine. There is definitely more room for curation innovation regardless. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist Invite only relays is another interesting idea I forgot about. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist Sooner or later the spammers will come into every comment section. I see no other solution tight now other than paid relays. Makes removing spammers a viable business model. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist Could not help myself, started to build a nostr relay for fun. Any recommendations for good BIP340 (Schnorr signatures) golang packages? A quick Google brings up btcec, will try that out 🤷 npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist But answering the steelman version of the question. Yes, I saw a thread about black holes and event horizons a while back. But I am confident It drifted into BTC and nostr eventually 🤷 npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist Would expand to bitcoin OR nostr itself... npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist Exited by the thought of specialized relays that presents a unique feed, clients that allow you have multiple feeds where you can mix and match relays. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist Would be really cool to present it as a regular relay that you can enable alone or with other relays as global feed. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist How are decisions about the code base structure and beat practices made? npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist Is it raspberry jam in there? 😮 I applaud the sight of a Semla on here, but appauled by the way it is defiled! This must be the work of a Dane? npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist Twitter probably have some super complicated algorithm for this. Maybe a start is to just collapse boost next to each other in the feed? npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist #[0] I love #[1] as much as the next guy. But I think we need to do something better when everybody boosts something. https://i.imgur.com/LeRhcGR.png https://i.imgur.com/P4ocpox.png npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist Why should a person who discovered some information ever lose their copyright on that information? Because it produce better societal outcomes if they do. If you spend 20 years of your life to discover some piece of information that creates real change in the world, why should the benefit of your blood, sweat and tears be limited in time? (This is based on my morals so your milage may vary) The economy exist to produce goods (including information) for consumers. The only consideration when constructing incentives is optimizing for the consumers. And how long should the copyright last? Just long enough so that the value of produced information covers the cost of production and a risk adjusted profit. This is highly sector specific and might change over time. One thing to note is that given constant revenue from the information, doubling the copyright does not actually double the vale of the information as future cashflows are discounted with the risk free rate. The societal cost of not having that information free double. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist Charging for information is acceptable as it will lead to more and better information. Good journalism cost money, and incentives matter. Copyright should be very short lived though. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist Out of band payments does not really change the incentives of the miners. Wastefull blockspace usage will sooner or later be outcompeted by truely valuable use regardless of market structure. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist You know, derivatives can be written as a division for a reason, nothing wrong too use that if it simplifies proving things right? npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist You can not imagine the math I have seen physics proffesors do. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist This is a typical physicists argument. "I do not see a use for this to be true" + "handwavy intuition" = proof npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist It feels pretty obviously true. Either something is continuous or it is not. We can already approximate continuous things with countable things as good as we need. If there is something in-between there it would be continuous for all I care. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist I love to argue about math. Warning though I am trained as a physicist so I am essentially a the math equivalent of a shitcoiner. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist It's just too much. Satire is dead. It all so incredibly embarrassing. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist Why not both? npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist How would this work with paid relays? Paying for every relay there seems unreasonable. npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist Missing some relay your followers are using npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist https://i.imgur.com/ZTlcMg3.jpg npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist Now that you have put it out there, probably way longer than before npub1la858y4tftya337f4dku3tjs6jl5hvvs2wfg72837umlhl8dze9s6xhyhx OpenSourceOptimist I have not heard a way that is possible. https://fedimint.org seems like least bad way to avoid opening channels.
