I follow about 100 nostr profiles; I don't understand why every time I stay away from Nostr for 8+ hours, when I come back @npub12vk…pugg always shows me some fewer post than @npub1nz6…0w5y. There is always some post missing on primal, like 1 out of 20.

Relays are the same.
What am I missing ?

Try the best to be responsible, but at some point you can only go Burak

Will Lightning network end up being fought by regulators like mixers?
Don't know
But we must be prepared for that

While Trump wants U.S. to dominate BTC issuance, Chinese companies are placing Exahashes in North America and shopping for U.S. miners stocks and Bitcoin ETFs.
What could go wrong?

Has anyone already implemented a GPT-like service payable with #Bitcoin Lightning?
I think of a VPS with Ollama as backend and to use it you have to pay some sats per-request or per-month.
Imagine having the frontend chat inside a #Nostr app and being able to pay and use it with just a Zap.
You can view a list of public servers and choose the one you want to use based on the price they ask or other properties. So there could be a market of them.
Inside an app like @npub12vk…pugg, which already has builtin Lightning wallet capabilities, it would also eliminate the need for the user to have an external wallet, reducing friction even more.

Many of the things you state are difficult to verify, therefore difficult to discuss.
I hope you'll be able to publish some of your own research. The privacy community would benefit a lot.

Thank you.
The paper focuses on the fact that when using webmail the Proton server could serve you a malicious client-side code and steal or misuse your key. But all web apps have that problem.
Since Proton has implemented their "one-password" login, the PGP key is on the server, encrypted using your password salted+hashed. That means Proton could try to bruteforce it. But it also means man in the middle attacks are avoided.
I would call them tradeoffs, but I wouldn't say their implementation is fundamentally flawed or insecure.

"Protonmail is creating their private key on their end and then giving it to you."
Do you have a source for this?

"your private key in their web app, that's cloud to cloud"
Not necessarily true.
The fact it's a web app doesn't mean private key leaves your device.
Code is open source for you to see. You don't trust they run that? You can always inspect what happens client-side.
I'm not saying I did. I say strong claims need strong evidences.
