At least they have Bitcoin! ...Right?
Enjoy your Bitcoin... And woke communism at a slightly different speed.
One of my favorite YouTube channels
They throw in the cancer for free.
How long will you be more active on nostr before going back to centralized options?
KYC is for people who don't yet understand Bitcoin.
The truth is, there is no spoon.
I hope it gets 21m views.
I always laugh at those ghetto girlfriend starting fights for their men videos, or talking back to the police at traffic stops... completely unable to measure risk. Good fun.
Though I didn't know I could force women to delete apps. I'll give this new super power a try. Wish me luck.
Not just Christian, but rooted in biology. If I have to die for you and the offspring, I'm going to tell you what risks you're going to take, if any, and set the bounds.
100%... I imagine my #4 to encompass that.
Hope your day goes perfectly, ending with a brief snow storm as a reward.
Well, I mean, I'm only here because my husband made me delete Whatsapp and Facebook because of Zuckerberg, but he sees Nostr as this indy/punk version of the same sort of thing, so he grudgingly tolerates it and even sometimes helps with our project. I'm only allowed to buy Bitcoin because of his Occupy Wallstreet mentality.
Without his influence, I'd be exchanging cat pics with my neighbor ladies and arranging our next wellness spa vacation and shopping trip. I'm totally out of that loop because Hubby is like, that's a stupid loop.
The most extreme form of this is trade-off is the submission expected of Christian wives. You gain massive amounts of leverage over the actions of one particular man, but you give up most of your direct agency and can only navigate "independently" within the bounds he sets.
That's why the most-powerful or influential women in Christian history tend to be never-married or divorced. Marriage basically takes her out of the running, and she can't "move up in rank" until and unless she is widowed, so she has to carefully consider if that's the best choice of vocation.
This is why being an active member of a church, extended family, club, or similar organization can lead to higher agency, even though you are agreeing to follow their rules and contribute with time and/or money. You are essentially part of a team and that gives you the team as a sort of leverage.
Google fuels a lot of my SearXNG results, they just don't get paid
I have some amount of 1 (living below my means and not engaging in any consumerism at all) and 4, doing what I want through effort.
I'm just jealous of those who have no brain to turn off sometimes.
1. Money
2. Stupidity
3. Disinterest/Apathy
4. Willpower/Determination
5. ...?
#2 always pisses me off, I hate how happy NPCs are day to day doing whatever they want.
Money isn't the only thing that gives you agency.
Few know this, so they assume that people with high agency must be rich.
This certainly beats my nerd brained "buy a drone" solution.

We should start a Deport the Greens Party. 😂
With that reasoning, very few people would be able to vote at all.
I was thinking the other day that if nativist populist parties promised to deport gay race communist natives, they'd get even more support.
If you ask me, spiteful mutant natives are an ausländer group that is currently the most dangerous.
Yup.
I thought it was nuts, but I knew how the vote would turn out because I've got teenagers at home. 😂
The Greens are panicking.
They gave 16 year-old Germans the vote and they immediately voted against them. 🤣🤣🤣

Get your intihuatana ready
I think it's up for debate how well it might work. I'd prefer my enemy to be weakened as much as possible before I actually have to take calculated risks myself.
We need to bide our time though to get things in place. These are cycles that span multiple decades. I also support a preference for a non-violent solution by defunding them.
I managed to pay my daughter's judo teacher in Bitcoin. Gen Z are not quite as bad as the average freedom-hating Spanish person.
Either it's so tyrannical that it needs to be overthrown immediately, or it isn't.
If it isn't (and we apparently agree on that, seeing as how neither of us are storming any capitols), then it is worth influencing through political agitation and voting.
Which is why we rid ourselves of them rather than giving in.
Any state that exists should be small, homogeneous and local, made up of you and people like you. Anyone supporting or participating in anything else should be resisted, violently if needed.
They rule, whether you are interested or not.
I'm not interested in the normie populace's rulers ruling me.
The quality of the politicians reflects the quality of the populace.
That doesn't change the way the government works.
Don't waste your right to draw a large phallus across the names of criminals who hate you.
I suspect anyone who tries to discourage me from voting of working for the opposition or being ignorant of how governments work.
They're literally trying to stop you from spending 5 minutes filling out a form and putting it in a mailbox. Because it's supposedly not worth the effort to even attempt to influence government. 🤨
Think about.
People wouldn't be trying to rig the votes, if voting didn't matter.
Mats are bourgeois

When you take "Stack sats and stay humble." A bit too seriously. 😂
Write it on your hovel welcome mat.
People be like, I'd buy Bitcoin, rather than a house.
You can't live in a Bitcoin, tho, and if you don't own your own home, you have to pay rent and rent is crazy-expensive and is money thrown down an endless black hole. And if you have a family, your tiny, crappy apartment will feel very tiny and very crappy.
They be like, Well, my kids will thank me, when they're older and it be like, You think you're going to have them growing up in a hovel, despite having money, and then you bust out 2 Bitcoin on your deathbed and any of them will be there to say goodbye?
People listen to me, when I talk about Bitcoin, because I don't have much of it.
I can relate to them.
From boiling the oceans to destroying the rainforests. I hope you Bitcoiners are pleased with yourselves.
Cut all TV and streaming. Jellyfin only from local personal library.

Yes, those are all translations, tho.
>>The word “sin”, as it appears in the Bible, comes from the Greek word Hamartia or the Hebrew word Hata, which both mean “to miss the mark” or “flawed”. The word was used in archery and spear throwing. When a person missed the center of the target, they erred, or “hamartia-ed”. So, as this applies to sin, we should ask, “What is the mark that we are missing?”
And the answer is: The holy righteous perfection of God.<<
https://www.patheos.com/blogs/e2medianetwork/2016/11/wwutt-sin-means-to-miss-the-mark/
You cannot be sure. You take it on Faith, out of Love and that gives you Hope, but the greatest of these three things is Love.
Every moral order defines a "mark" or "target" of the most virtuous, perfect human and moral people try to get as close as possible to that mark before they die.
To sin is to miss that mark and the gravity of the sin is defined by how far away from the mark it was.
Virtue is the greater and sin is the lesser.
I think the sum doesn't change, the weighting of the parts shifts.
Hell is eternity spent separated from God.
Christ has always existed.
Sin is "to miss the mark".
Christianity means that moral laws are breakable, but never without consequences. That makes them more like physics.
Every moral failing results in an opposite and equal reaction.
Islam is a religion focused on the exersize of good habits, that is why, such as the pillars.
Christianity is more about forming the conscience and the soul, and other religions are more about holding on to established traditions or getting in tune with the universe.
They each try to divine the Natural Laws and teach them to their members. Obviously, I think Christianity's cerebral self-reflection brings everyone closer to Nature, but other people are like,
Ugh, whatever. Just tell me what to do, please.
"It's a bad thing to do because God forbids it and we know He forbids it because it goes against Nature."
Killing doesn't necessarily go against Nature, tho, so long as it isn't murder.
Not dull because people can appeal to the authority of God or Natural Law and that can have an effect on the behavior of their neighbors or make someone want to not be their neighbor.
Someone can refuse to follow moral laws or occasionally be opportunistic, but that can have a tangible negative effect on their life, even without state enforcement.
Moral laws are also laws.
I'm not saying the entirety of the Government and population are evil in the EU and Norway... I'm saying that like most countries, on the most part, the entirety of the Government and population are stupid.
Any country that engages in blanket "regulation" and "legislation" is an enemy of human rights. I'm surprised that conference is allowed to take place.
Devs aren't really elite. They're more like info channels for software updates. 😂
They can't afford to be too removed from the masses because they're selling consumer goods to those masses and they need every customer they can get and they need to do market research.
And then you have a couple of very large accounts who are here to chat and socialize, so they're not emotionally removed.
Elite behavior is distant and cliquey and overly scrupulous about manners. That's what defines them: being "set apart".
Keep going. It's just a time preference issue. Crying means it's working.
Life hack: if your children are too small, feed and water them and eventually they'll grow.
The Moors were a Berber people, a Semitic people recently conquered by Arabs and converted to Islam. They didn't pass through what is today Morrocco, they were from there. They were pale (but not "white"), many were even gingers. They were big into slavery of subsaharan Africans. They reintroduced civilization back into western Europe, which they themselves had lost because of the collapse of the Western Roman Empire and the invasions by Germanic peoples into north Africa. But this civilization they got from their Arab conquerors, who had taken it from the Greeks and Egyptians they conquered prior.
I've replied there. I'd be interested in finding out what happened that made this necessary for you.

Someone once told me they can't open websites because all they have is a smartphone. They asked if there was an app version.
Everyone I know tells me that they can't get emails because all they have is a smartphone. Can I send it over WhatsApp?
No punchline.
Let me just open my Coinbase... Oh look it's down again... I'll keep trying while you prepare the pizzas.
Someone needs to order 60 pizzas then ask to pay with lightning.
Twitter is brain cancer for ego-retards.
Jack is right, but you engineer the better world on the foundation of the one you just destroyed.
My point was more that I ignore every law and process that conflicts with my morals. So I have to spend most of my time outside the system.
But this should be less-important to a Christian than how his own church sees things, of course.
Well, the State has its own paperwork stuff, like deciding who inherits which property, determining paternity, and so on. Keeping a consistent marital register doesn't really overstep the bounds of government, per se.
That's how I treat whatever comes out of the state.
I've always wondered about that, as Catholics don't really care about what's happening with the civil courts, except as evidence for a case.
They have their own rules and their own processes and certificates.
Do non-catholic congregations still do annulments, or do they just issue divorce certificates for invalid marriages?
Or do they let the civil courts lead?
What animal is this that was large enough to weigh 20kg and was armed with knives?
Data integrity checks.
Stuff like making sure the date field contains an actual date, the follow list contains real user IDs and not nicknames or emoticons, etc.
I don't really care if they post garbage, since it doesn't show up in my feed, but having these universal trendlists so prominently placed in some clients is a bug, not a feature, as it can leave an awful first impression about what the majority of the people here are actually like.

Let's be honest here.
If he doesn't want to pay for a reasonable date, doesn't want to buy you flowers, etc., then it's safe to assume:
1) he's running through a lot of women,
2) he's broke or stingy, or
3) you're out of his league, so you don't agree on what is "reasonable".

We had some grilled steak in Croatia last year. OMG so good.
Our village, too. So many of the wives are Slavic. Amazing.
My mom's family is Bohemian. From Egerland. They were driven out, after the war, but they're actually more Czech than German, according to her DNA test.
If you took the Slavs out of Germany, the eastern half would be empty of people. Including me! 😂
We love that, yum! I make it myself.
I used to work on a software project based in Hamburg. I was there for weeks at a time and just ate my way from one end of the city to the other. 😂 So much good good!!
There's this Italian restaurant off the Reeperbahn, near the stadium, that is even better than what we usually get in Italy.
The best thing in Berlin is the Döner. 🥙
Yes, haggis! And black pudding and crumpets and marmelade with clotted cream. And the roasts. Yummy!
I taught myself to make crumpets, after that, because the kids were like
Mom, when crumpets? 🥺
And in Britain! Last time, we were in Scottland and stuffed our faces every day. It was all so delicious.
I have no idea. We always eat really well, in Germany.
But, then, we always eat well in America, too. 🤷♀️

I've noticed that I don't get sexually harrassed on here, anymore. Hasn't happened in weeks.
I suppose I'm too prominent, now, and have too many followers. They've probably moved on to the newer female arrivals.
Would be nice to see a privacy "Streisand effect" where people not particularly interested in their privacy will want it just because they are being denied it.
Same. Generally though I predict a process similar to... off-shoring, then near-shoring, then re-shoring.
I wonder what the narrative will be when everyone rejects it because it's shit.
But AI is going to be so successful and replace everyone's jobs!
Nothing is wrong with Bitcoin being a store of value. The current attack, led by people like Saylor, is to try to make Bitcoin be a store of value only and nothing more, allowing it to be captured and the world enslaved by government issued currencies.
Always scope for more of them, and copy-cat attacks, in these multicultural cities I suppose.

So from your description, CoinCorner.
Cuz I am writing a post about our repo publishing and got side-tracked. 😂
Of course, it could be implemented. It's a matter of setting priorities.
That's why I've been saying that we should have option to send our follows private notes, or to take an entire npub private, with encryption.
In addition to private relays. Some people need more reach than they provide, but they want to be able to block someone in particular.
DMs aren't enough.
That's what that accomplishes, but it doesn't prevent someone from downloading or screenshotting, same as everywhere else.
I can imagine the normies forced into CBDCs think they are using Bitcoin.

Congrats. You have hundreds of people here who'll be happy to answer questions and point to resources as soon as you need them.
Most things transitionally seem to have worked out in FOSS because of hobbyists and enthusiasts. But this has probably only led to the top 0.1% of projects surviving when maybe the top 5% of projects are worth while. But I don't know.
Yeah, but the people with more money have to pay, for that cross-subsidy to work.
A certain segment of users in this position are always going to be subsidized by the charity of others. That has typically been the case in FOSS, and in freedom tech there are lots of other ways to contribute anyway.
I'm not sure you realize how many of the kinds of apps we're talking about here depend on an expensive backend to allow for interaction, connectivity etc. even if distributed.

Too often when I mention it, like to my parents etc, there's a massive amount of tension. I can only imagine it's what you'd get if you decided to support Al Qaeda. Or if you were promoting the KKK, or... you know, something like that. Like you've brought up some taboo subject that threatens them or what they know in some threatening way. Was the same deal with them with not taking dangerous experimental vaccines. But that's not the worst, because you can just not mention Bitcoin, or facts general, to close family and still get along.
What's worse is when you mention it to people you meet, and a smile comes across their face, and they think you're stupid. They don't know anything about anything, but they're sure you're wrong about everything. https://image.nostr.build/aa742492d0aaa36733c71de204dc2dd556bfb1572558389d9b478859f1795549.jpg

Turkish Lira is the best performing. I hear they're all millionaires now.
I agree completely. Whenever I see bunks of some kind discussed though it's treated like an abomination of cost cutting and airline profiteering.
Which means we always seem to come to a system that's about 50% better than now, rather than 100%.
Yes. Which is why I think Bitcoin will lead to peasant organisation through government and laws.
I think that's only possible when you have an illiterate peasantry without the tools necessary to mass organize and shoot you.
You can just own assets and demand rents. I guess you would have to build armies to protect your rents, which is effort, but probably not very productive.
It'll be like in the medieval ages, under the gold standard, where people who owner the gold make the rules and demand tolls through gatekeeping and soldiers.
The ETF buyers are just your average moron. Look at interviews with hedge fund managers and large investors on legacy media. They are idiots who went to the right schools and know the right people. They were assigned their station in life.
This is what I'm expecting. I think these ETFs guarantee the continuation of the cycles and big swings for a while longer, they're just a bigger version of retail.
Maintaining ownership of income generating assets and keeping them productive over time involves work and taking risks to adapt them to changing times. If they can do that, then they ought to be the ones doing it.
Most assets are maintained (the productiveness of, the ownership of) today with fiat subsidies.
Yes, long-term there might be some realignment.
Although, they can use their Bitcoin to skew markets or capture income-generating assets, to prevent competition from rising and ensure their permanent superiority.
I doubt the Rothschilds will spend their Bitcoin on slot machines in Vegas.
Exactly. That's essentially the caveat I mentioned just extended internationally. I guess you can argue that this is "being close to the money printer".
Remains true that once everything is Bitcoin there's no more cantillionaire effect. Once everyone is competing, those with more Bitcoin who don't produce bleed wealth.
Bitcoin is a commodity and some people simply have more purchasing power because of their currency.
Bitcoin doesn't redistribute wealth. It allows for wealth conservation. You can only conserve what you already have.
It doesn't rise or narrow for you any more or less than anyone else. Whether you have 1 ₿ or 0.1 ₿, obtaining more would depend on work and risk.
The only argument here that makes sense is saying that someone has obtained Bitcoin "illicitly" by benefiting from printed fiat to obtain Bitcoin, but you can also put that down to intelligence. They probably would have been capable of doing the same if starting from zero.
You don't have to create more Bitcoin to be a cantillionaire because your wealth rises automatically, as the supply narrows and then shrinks.
It works in reverse, but it's still a first-to-the-trough feeding system.
If we assign social value to whole-coinerism (I have no idea if it does or will carry a social value) then it's still not a new cantillionaire class because they can't use that status to create more Bitcoin.
If being a whole-coiner gives you social status, that's actually an argument against Bitcoin. 🤔
Exchange one group of cantillionaires for another.

No need. 9 out of 10 normies will kill themselves. Best we can hope for is reverse decimation.
I have no idea what it is about but was recommended it by two people. Should I watch it?
No, you'd run a hosted server on another IP that would then have a VPN connection to your home server, so that only your hosted server knows your true identity. The hosted server would be the middle man.

I have seen several new generally angry no-coiners who pop up when something bitcoiny is mentioned.
Spoken like a true statist, unable to break out of the statist paradigm. If you were worth the time and effort you could probably list 10 bad things the Serbian state did... and the individual you're attacking could write an essay about why she'd morally appose each one. But it would be pointless, because you're dumb.
You're a very confused individual. From what I can understand @npub1dhv…lcq6 was 9 years old, and is today an anti-war probable pacifist. She has no soldiers to command and I doubt she supports any particular state or favors any particular ethnic group over another.
You on the other hand sound like a dangerous ethnonationalist statist.
There's probably a million ways to justify the fight of a legitimately defensive war... and definitionally that would put many people in group 2, though I think many of those would feel more at home in group 1. This is even if it means you enemy's children end up cowering in fear, or any other terrible inhumane outcome.
That said, with reference to specific wars in recent decades, if you have to travel halfway around the world to fight... Then it's not a defensive war.

Jokes on them, I've been specifically looking for cow village houses at or below €998k. Losers!!!
We just found out that someone is selling a single family home with a small garden in our cow village for €999k.

Stack your sats.
In a mirror universe someone's trying to convince you to abandon Bitcoin and use their new fiat, and they think you're mad for rolling your eyes.
This stuff is going to continue happening until the local plebs abandon the dollar. If they remain plugged into the dollar system then their bitcoin system will have to continue following the dollar's rules.

Exception: "What if tomorrow I could have more bitcoin than today?"
If your new fridge requires you to live in Greenland for it to work... It's not a traditional bug, true, but if you weren't told beforehand it would have to be returnable... even if you already tried putting some ham in it.
A couple of Mexican landscapers would have done that quicker and for less.
You should be able to return both on account that they have a serious bug. Can't be selling faulty equipment.

He should be welcomed to Nostr, congratulated for interoperability and then insulted *without* being told to leave.
I assume this involves good eating and exercise and is why you mentioned it? If so, best of luck.
I'm not sure centralized depots owned by non-person entities, or their processes/organization, have anything to do with the personal sovereignty we're talking about being historically normal. And I think you're assuming that Bitcoin's only purpose is multi-generational inheritance.
Historically all plebs and elites alike would keep their personal wealth at home and spending money on their person and think this was completely normal.
Sure, we have more wealth today than we did before.
I heard the Nostr CEO was planning on hiring some old women to manage the relays.
They left their bits of coinage at the local blacksmith.
Perception of time and generation differences are irrelevant to having 3 denarii and 4 sestertii in your leather pouch.
As authorities fail and disappear people will readapt quickly, as they always do.
Tens of thousands of years of human history of being responsible for your own wealth was trained out of people in a just a few decades. It's 100% not a normal reaction. We need to go back to normality.

Where's the Chinese TV "deflation will kill us all" guy? He said there'd be deflation!
It's ok to disagree if you're right.

Exactly my point. The limit exists because they figure it will hinder you from using bitcoin seriously, and registering a legal entity in Switzerland allows them to enforce that.
Robosats is at least cheap and easy to do a few buys at at time (and has a model that doesn't bow to government)
Well this is the point of the limit, isn't it.
If you ever need more than the basics then you have something to fix about yourself. That said, you should arrange to give yourself a taste of the luxury here and there as a treat i.e. not go out of your way to deprive yourself.

My tips on saving fiat to stack more sats
- move in with other people
- get rid of your car, share your car, or combine trips to reduce gasoline usage
- reduce the size of your living space to save on things like heating
- if you have older dependents, stop paying for their stuff directly, just figure out how much money they need for everything over the year, add 20% to that, divide by 12 and transfer that every month
- cook every day, or cook ahead
- buy groceries in bulk
- drink tea, instead of coffee
- only drink coffee from beans you grind yourself
- go through your recurring payments and see how you can reduce or eliminate them
Not as bad for Ukraine as my original daydream scenarios of a NATO invasion of western Ukraine to "protect it" with an eventual annexation into Poland.

They'd pay you in their "tokens" anyway. That's how their scams work. They pay their devs in the scam tokens too. Basically it's for free, then they have you on the hook to keep promoting the scam for free so you can offload the scam tokens in someone else.
Yes, but what about the Kardashians and/or sports?
Equal to or above chain fees? I wouldn't think so, but simply uneconomical for many many cases, yes. Right?
Spend and Replace.
That said, fiat zombies, especially those in unfortunate economies, will have never heard of or have understood the concept of saving. Explaining that "if you don't spend it today, it'll buy more more tomorrow" will be a new concept for them. They're an audience where it would be acceptable to tell them to hodl only.
If they can comfortably self custody, considering their fiat legal entity status it might make sense to use something like [https://river.com/private-client]. If they need support in custodying, maybe something like [https://unchained.com/]. With either option like these they get hand-held through the process of making a large purchase.

As I said, every major client has a "create account" button and sets you up with your first relays. If you can't click a button, you probably won't remember to breathe and so won't need Nostr anyway.
So yes, you just to to the play store and install an app. It's not December 2022 anymore. Try it.
The weaknesses of Nostr are elsewhere. Ego+network effect for one. A certain amount of slow jankiness with relays. Rapid client development and the ease of running into bugs.

That's kind of my point. No-one with a Twitter account sat down and read the Twitter manual before creating that account, there was no need. It was easy enough to post things, and some basic reading the room and clicking around eventually got them the experience they wanted.
I don't see what's different with nostr. Fundamentally, you create and npub and go. By reading the room, you find out about relays and zaps and how npubs are transferable between clients. Typically I see many new nostr users on iPhones (the normiest of normies) think the Damus actually is nostr, at that's fine at first, but even they seem to grow out of it.
And I think all the popular clients follow the "sign up/create account" paradigm for normies, that automatically adds some public relays and gives them some people to follow.
Every client has a noob friendly "create account" button that does no such thing and instead generates and npub. There's probably enough, no?

Men and women fail to grow up in very different ways, but ways that seem absurd to the other gender. It's an interesting dynamic.
Women can be such suckers, no matter how smart we are. We never stop believing in fairy tales.
Still hanging around, waiting for the White Knight to swoop in and save us, but he was never the White Knight, he was just charming. We're being naive and gullible, and now we look silly, standing around, waiting for help that will never arrive.
And waiting.
Perhaps we just need to wait some more.
Maybe he didn't notice that we're waiting, yet.
But, once he does, he will surely rush to our aide.
We just have to signal more clearly, so that he can't miss it.
We just have to be patient...

US elections were fraudulent. Putin is defacto dictator of Russia, albeit an oddly popular one due to the Russian mindset. Ukraine had Nazis and US biolabs. Donbas is full of Russians. Russia is corrupt. BBC is operated by the British establishment as a formulaic and systematic brainwashing and propaganda tool. Epstein didn't kill himself.
Stepping outside the matrix can be bewildering.
There are many people far less "problematic" than Putin who wouldn't dare get interviewed by Western MSM. Why would Putin, or why would he care until someone controversially unapologetically neutral comes along and says he'll post the interview unedited and unmanipulated?
For this interview, what part of Tucker is full of shit? Or any of the other interviews?
Again, Putin's version of the truth (likely a fog of half truths) hasn't been aired in the West without opinion and commentary given over the top. You don't have to be pro Putin or pro Authoritarian to admit that.
Where is this same energy for every single interview of a Western leader in environments where there is no journalism just narrative pushing?
It's definitely what shitcoiners who do some Bitcoining wanted and the reason for allowing shitcoins on Bitcoin.
Cannon fodder don't stand, silly.

The good thing about SA, and similar countries, is that the weak government can make it less of a problem. In Peru (I'm not from Spain) the last time I got in trouble with taxes I just let it get drawn out until they eventually forgot about me.
But the direct tie from KYC exchanges to government is almost everywhere now. Here too.
I don't care if people are ignorant, it's when they're ignorant and confident about it that gets me.
Lots of shitcoiners and ignorant KYC folks around... But you see quite a lot of "Bizum" as a payment option on Peach and RoboSats, which is like a local interbank cashapp, showing that there's a lot of P2P trading going on.
Spain already makes you declare your Bitcoin stack for wealth taxes, so KYC Bitcoin is already completely unviable here.

I don't think they want to pour chemicals onto my food, they are complaining that the Ukrainians have free reign to do so and full EU support... Along with German and EU support to raise energy prices and costs, and wider ranging green initiatives with the aim of starving and enslaving humanity. Sounds like Nazis to me.
A common main stream media technique.
Odd that Nazis around the world piggyback on all the pro-freedom protests. Worst Nazis ever.

It's bad for YOUR privacy, but obviously isn't bad for an entity that is doing it's upmost to not be private for reasons of transparency.
Reusing an address means every transaction you make leaves an immediately identifiable footprint of who made that transaction (or at least who received it). Every time the same address is used, it is immediately known that it is going to the same person. It's like printing out your bank account statement and posting it at a nearby bus stop, albeit with your name blanked out.
And while later spends may mix two UTXOs from two distinct addresses and thus link funds if you have poor coin control, at least by not reusing the address you're not doing this *immediately* and by *default*.

But, it also creates the boom-bust cycle because everyone growing apples has to also become more efficient, to keep up with the debtor. Otherwise, he would repay his debt and then remain more efficient than them and sell his apples at a discount forever. He can "reap the rewards" of his debt and it was like an investment.
So you end up with a market with more, cheaper apples. And some orchards go bankrupt because they can't meet the new price.
And that is how debt-based money leads to interest and inflation, but also spurs innovation because you have to be more efficient to cover the debt that was created out of thin air.
That's why such a highly-abstract system only arises to record debts.
You give him a cow and he promises you apples and then his apple harvest is bad, so you make an apple-token and he gets that token, if he can manage to bring you the apples the next year.
And -- here you see the next step -- you can eventually start charging interest. So, you say, as punishment for not giving me 10 baskets of apples, you owe me 11 apple baskets next year.
And then you make 11 tokens, instead of 10 and you have inflation, unless he can manage to produce 10% more and expand the economy.
Everyone applying for the ETFs is in contact with the SEC and know the outcome.
I do. 😂 The clay barley token thing has kept me awake. GN.
His point was that this is what it does, once it comes into existence, but it comes into existence because someone owed money at some point. Usually arises after a bad harvest or when transacting over long trade routes, when so many people owe so many things, that you have to start counting and keeping track and paying your debts abstractly.
That the monetary order (when dealing with tokens, only), is debt leads to money and money leads to savings. That, once enough debt payments have created enough money, people can begin taking some of that money out of circulation.
Mesopotamian clay tokens.
It was barley, not wheat, sorry.
My next thought was that everyone knew what an ox or a bushel of wheat was worth, so you could use those tokens to then purchase something else.
I want your apples, I will give you this debt-token for Samuel's ox in exchange. You can give it to Samuel next spring and he'll give you an ox.
Which works well, so long as Samuel actually manages to produce an ox.
His argument is that the very first coin money came into being as a promise note, for harvests. That's why they had bulls and wheat pressed into them. They were abstract representations of what was owed.
The person who owed the wheat couldn't give the wheat in trade because the wheat hadn't grown yet. So, they used a token.
5 bushels of wheat = 5 wheat tokens
In Dr. Stelter's best-of-2023 podcast, a German economist posits that there can be no money without debt, because money is a "promise to pay".

I actually see the same "big tech" influence, here, consolidating market share. There are whole areas that are basically impossible to break into, now, unless you're already popular or on some payroll.
I think that's why I noticed it and am so loudly encouraging people to "figure out how this new Internet works", "form development teams", and "claim new spaces".
If we want to keep Nostr weird, we have to keep it distributed. We can't have a handful of people writing NIP after NIP after NIP.
Hmm. I've been active since long before 4chan.
But, you see, my comments describe how Nostr doesn't exclude the resurgance of market concentration, it actually encourages it and has to be actively fought against.
This is how people build in uncharted territory: defensively and iteratively.
There is no "outside law" to depend upon to defend your property. It's just you, with your shovel, your axe and your rifle.
So, you have to start digging and chopping, immediately, as fast as you can, while posting a guard.
You are own your own.

I woke up and thought about the Romans, again.
Building on Nostr is like the Roman legion transversing possibly dangerous territory. As soon as you find a spot you want to stay in for a bit, immediately dig trenches and put up a palisade, to protect the space.
Within the palisades, you can take time building a nice fort, and -- if you really like the area and want to reside there permanently -- later transitioning the fort slowly into a castle.
Maybe your castle can then collect a toll.
If you collect enough tolls, you might eventually be able to build a palace...
That's fine, tho.
People who want to build a nice house to their own specifications and make that the standard, simply have to learn to throw up a rough shack first, to claim the space. Then they can tear it back down and build something better in its place, at their leisure.
Sort of the way some Brits eventually wisened up and learned to get up a bit earlier than the Germans and draped their own towels.
A towel is a towel. A shack is a shack.
You always build a wooden fort and replace it later with a stone castle. Lesson learned.
I think it's the other way around:
People who like experimenting the most, like it the best, because you can quickly establish dominance in some particular area, without much effort. You just have to be creative and identify new areas nobody has fenced in.
So, you can just fence in areas and throw up shacks, willy-nilly, and quickly dominate all sorts of spaces, without intentions to stay in those spaces and invest further there.
Reminds me a bit of the way Germans are notorious for leaving their towels on the pool chairs and then wandering off to the breakfast buffet.
I think this doesn't conflict because Bitcoin is not the equivalent of Nostr. It is the equivalent of a single NIP. Bitcoin was the first implementation of a particular concept and has set the standard within that space.
A hard-fork in Nostr would be a counter-NIP, not a fork of the entire Nostr protocol.
Yes, I think some of us who came here from the Bitcoin-side, with our 🟥🟩 fetish, have completely misunderstood how the Nostr protocol works.
It's a pioneer-model, I suppose you could say.
You find an unoccupied space and build a fence around it. Whichever group (or person) builds a house within that space first, owns the space within the fence. Everyone else within the fence models their house on that first house, even if they have to rebuild their house, or they are not considered "someone within this space".
It doesn't matter if the house is rickety, the building materials are shabby, or etc. It only matters who managed to build something resembling a house, first. You don't get extra-points for building a nicer house and painting it pink, and adding a rose window.
When the whistle blew, they had a house.
And you didn't.
It's a type of implied-in-fact contract. You establish the content of the contract by acting.
Yes, like I said. There's no need for wider consensus.
This is the most novel thing about the protocol, I think. I'm used to this with company governance, but haven't seen it in a development protocol before. Interesting.
Once you know this, realize you have three tactics for influencing the direction the protocol will take:
1) Establishment: Find the biggest, most-powerful army, join it, and try to influence its decisions.
2) Start-up or spin-off: Build a counter-army and attempt to get past the flagpole first, by quickly building implementations.
3) Experimenter: Focus on occupying a space nobody has taken much interest in and tinker around alone.
Or some combination of those.
I am not complaining about this, simply explaining the dynamic we can all easily observe. It can be confusing to watch.
The Nostr protocol is less overtly-constricting than other protocols (and it changes more rapidly) because it leaves room for interpretation, but it gives a disproportionate advantage to first-movers. They define the protocol for everyone following, without the need to form a consensus.
In that way, it is truly more like human speech. The most-effective development army (for each topic) can determine which language will be spoken. As if each NIP were a new dialect, established by the persons who have claimed the space and put up a flagpost.
This is what makes rhetoric so much more difficult than dialectic.
In dialectic, you only respond to the precise words the other is speaking. And they respond to your words and vice-versa.
In rhetoric, you try to understand not only what the other is saying, but what they precisely mean by that, and how that is an important puzzle-piece to their entire worldview.
That is why it is not enough to merely counter the argument they have voiced:
You have to convince them to exchange their entire mental puzzle, so that all of the pieces continue to fit together.
Methinks Nostr is the right room for an argument.
Most people have only understood the side of the argument that they agree with and they think everyone who disagrees with them is some sort of idiot or crazy person, who is simply incapable of thinking clearly.
But, as I've said before, human behavior is inherently reasonable. In that humans tend to do, think, or say things for a reason -- even if they are not cognitively aware of the reason and/or capable of explaining it.
Never assume that there is no reason. There is always a reason. You just don't understand it. You are the one who is clueless.
Oh, I'm Catholic.

Talk amongst yourselves.
I am convinced that all people are of equally worth, but they are not the same. Not everyone is meant to be sovereign.
Anarchist mutes republican because he can't emotionally handle a counterargument.
My argument was morally neutral.
Any group that can enforce a draft effectively owns the property covered by the draft, and that group includes the willing participants in the draft. That is who the sovereign is.
For the sovereign to change hands, you have to either rebalance the power by mounting a larger or more-effective army, demoralize the willing draftees and convince them to join your pacifistic stance, or engage mercenaries of some sort.
Then you are the sovereign.
But in the time you are doing that, the foreign army will probably have taken the land, so they will then be sovereign.
Yes, it is like real-life chess. Chess is a military strategy game.
Bitcoiners often understand private property rights, but not the concept of "communal property". That's why they think every state is a criminal enterprise.
Communal property adds another level of abstraction and complexity.
There are always some men who prefer other people fight to keep them safe. The draft forces those men to choose to join the fight or leave the country.
After the war, they often aren't allowed to return or they face prison time for draft-dodging.
You own what you are willing to protect. If you are not willing to protect the land, then you are just a visitor on someone else's property.
The draft brings clarity.
Husbands won't make that deal. They all want to die first and have us weep at the funeral and wear a snazzy black hat with a little veil, like a mafia wife, and then help raise the grandkids.

If they don't want to lose money on it, yeah.
Everyone is writing code.
But you have to think about what the code should do. Which can require research and experimentation on new encryption methods, data models, search engines, machine learning, or similar.
Is anyone in here writing an academic paper on solving particular problems with Nostr?
With encryption being so good now, you don't have to care as much about where things are stored. You can make little packages of indecipherable strings and just toss them around and store them wherever and then just keep track of what is stored where or run a search engine over relays.
Like a chaotic logistics system, but for data.
I just went to highlighter.com and copy-pasted a different address into someone else's highlight. Hacking. 🤌
Are you using it? Which app are you making them with and how? I can't figure it out.
I'm legit crazy about the highlighter because I have two completely unexpected use cases for it and those are the most interesting NIPs to me.
I also like the long form with markdown because that was someone breaking out of the Twitter-clone cage.
And the application data NIP because you can use it to transmit technical data by relay, which protects you from someone attacking your server and shutting down your transmissions. It's a web of storage devices, then, that can mirror each other, like an open-source cloud. Open-source global document storage. You could have an event-driven database receiving events over relays, for instance, or a data pool.
I have now read all the NIPs.
It is done.
@npub1l2v…ajft How can I use highlighter.com to make a highlight?
Nice UI, by the way.

They're coming. Again.
I see that the inmates are still running the asylum.
Yes, but I think it's odd that most of the people using the protocol don't know this. It's never really talked about.
And sometimes the person who came up with the vision doesn't have the personality required to hold the vision. The inventor doesn't necessarily have to be PO. Anyone can.
I'm not saying they should stop. They're going to help mature the libraries and come up with some cool stuff.
I'm saying...
If you work in a hospital IT department, Nostricize your department's scheduling script.
If you work in a factory, Nostracize your workflows.
If you work in accounting, create a Nostr bookkeeping app.
And so on.
Build things you are used to working with.
Nostr where you are.
I think it was an important use case because it gave us all a place to come to and created a concentration of the similar-minded. They also laid all the groundwork for later developments. We're using their technology, but different application. We still need keys, notes, relays, zaps, etc. We can reuse their GUI libraries, so our stuff looks pretty.
But innovation is slowing. Tangible. Gazillion versions in development, but they all do something similar.
I'm eyeing insurance and banking backoffice, but we already have a project that will take years to finish.

Meet the old Internet. Same as the new Internet.
We need lots of groups. Agile groups.
Lining up a never-ending list of features and knocking them over, like dominos. Features for this project, features for that project, maintenance for a third project, concept phase for the next project.
High-throughput development.
This is why corporations are rich and we are not.
But we don't need corporations to organize. We don't need an employer or a leader or anything. Just build teams with your bros and start working.
The emphasis on Lone Wolf project teams is holding the ecosystem back.
They're justified in certain contexts, but you can see how much faster we move forward, when even two developers team up. That advantage scales, on a slowing trend, for up to 9 people.
Above 9 people, communication breaks down and you need to split the group.
For a large, complex project, you need a bigger team.
The sweet-spot is 7±2 people.
5 people working on a large project are faster than 1 person working on a small project.
If we want bigger projects, we need bigger teams.

Well, yeah. It's an attention industry.
You can also effect public development projects. Especially by simply working on them.
Get yourself hired. Define the spec.
Depends upon where you are. It's often actually from a private company.
No. Just add it in to the present system and then make it the default.
Blocking accounts, mostly. Censorship, shadowbanning. That's why @jack is here.
Imagine you had medical records based upon your npub, rather than your name and date of birth.
Imagine the layer of privacy added, at the same time that they could automatically be connected with all sorts of other systems, without you having to offer any personal data to any of those systems and none of those systems needing to come up with an ID number for you.
Just have to sign with your nsec.
It actually has nothing to do with social media. That was just the first application because the first developers were mad at Twitter.
And then it just got stuck there. We need to move on and expand our repertoire.
Nobody needs 55 Twitter clones.
We need Nostr tolls.
Nostr medical records.
Nostr insurance websites.
Nostr car communication methods.
The npub/nsec is just a personal key and you can have as many as you want.
Views.
Time spent on post.
Tips and other monetization.
Number of users.
Number of posts per user.
Number of reactions per post.
The point being that they can't necessarily identify your house from your npub. They wouldn't know where to send the SWAT team.
Social media is a commodity.
Literally me.
https://i.nostr.build/DZ49.jpg
Have you been following the NIP discussion? Must be interesting, for a newbie.
I don't always post recipes. But when I do, they are always excellent recipes.
The projects until now have been basically cute little app reproductions or nifty scripts, etc. I never took an interest in development because it was all too small for me. I need.... scale.
Give me a challenge.
Have me design a fucking air traffic control system or replace MS Teams, or something fun like that.
My own. It's so fucking awesome. So stoked. Totally bullshit.
😂 Hey, you asked.
Or have different npubs and rotated through them. The toll company doesn't care. They just want their money.
Sure. They use SMS for it because Telekom built it and Cheseapeake Bay bridge has that EZ Pass system tied to your license plate.
Lots of different methods, but they all require personal identifiers and bank account or credit card info. So the government can confiscate the records and track you down.
But you could have an npub solely for your toll system. Then they could find out where the npub went, but not who that was.
And you could use the npub in any car you were in.
I am particularly partial to roasts.
You started following me for the recipes and the selfies.
That's what I'm talking about.
And can't we use Nostr and LN for toll systems?
Nostr ties everything together and got enough people onboard that even we corporate types have shown up. 🤷♀️
Network effects matter.
This is actually more attractive outside of social media than inside of it, but I think nobody noticed because the users until now have been social media fans.
For the reason that you don't have to personally identify people to interact with them, so if you get hacked, all they walk away with is a bunch of npubs. This reduces the anonymization burden on business archives. Or you can use the npub for identifying a person online and just never save it centrally.
Or you can communicate with your customers pseudoanonymously without e-mail, by DMing or @ing their npub.
That's where the NIPs come in. They generate the network effect by defining the different ways keys can be used in different contexts.
The first context was "social media post".
Another context could be "spending card for vending machine" or "login for utility company website" or "automatic alarm sent from home to fire department".
No, the innovation is in trying a key to an entity on a universal scale, but anonymously and not 1-to-1.
The entity is "provider of key". It could be a machine, a person, a group of person, a dog, whatever. In most contexts, it isn't actually important to know who the key provider concretely is or what other keys they might have.
You just want to be able to differentiate key providers.
Even if the personal ID were important to some context, you could still build everything based upon the keys and use 2FA and basta. Or you could assign people organization-level keys.
Sort of.
The innovation is not in having a key.
The innovation is having a universal key and using that key in lots of different contexts, but anonymously and leaving the user the ability to have mutiple keys, share their keys, or change keys at any time.
So, any system that needs to know who it is interacting with, can use it.
The most innovative thing about Nostr is not the NIPs.
It's the keys.
They're the identity.
They're the credential.
They're the security.
They're the communication.
They're the login.
They're the encryption.
Anything that uses any of that can be rebuilt upon Nostr.
https://i.nostr.build/ldJP.jpg
https://i.nostr.build/jdJE.gif
And once they have a set of keys, the hurdle to using a Nostr-based social media app is removed.
It's a new paradigm. Until now, the focus has been on building social media clients and side-modules for them, like zap splits.
So, the focus has been getting "lots of people" and "famous people" to come use a Twitter or Reddit clone because otherwise, what is the point of Nostr?
But you can also use Nostr to build larger, more complex things. Like GoogleDocs or Sharepoint or GitHub, Google Maps, patient management systems, home security or automation systems, enterprise search engines, app stores, industrial machine configuration software, and etc.
Things that don't require the end user to know or care about Nostr and that don't have to convince people to "join Nostr" because they automatically join by using the products.
1) Build a better mousetrap.
2) Build it with Nostr underneath.
3) Require keys for login.
4) Winning.
We have reached that moment where IT professionals -- who we're not involved in the development of the protocol and are operating independently of the majority -- start heavily utilizing the protocol to build stable and reliable systems.
Much hilarity ensued.
But, we'll be fine.
https://i.nostr.build/od8Q.gif
A decentralized protocol means that all development is decentralized and all quality controls are also decentralized.
You could even have a quality relay that just analyzes all of the notes for conforming to a minimum standard (defined by the relay, by referencing particular commits of NIPs) and use that to objectively rate the products in an app marketplace.
That would actually help decentralize development by allowing new or small projects to get certified.
As it is, you basically have to stick to the big ones, unless you have a large appetite for risk, like I do.
If data quality is important to my own product, then there is no Nostr CEO to whine to. I have to assume the quality is low and have a plan to deal with that. Defensive programming.
Repo-level mute lists, basically, as if they were npubs. They can always communicate that they have fixed the issue and get removed from the list.
My concept doesn't assume malice, merely incompetence or laziness, or simply someone experimenting with a new concept.
Just publish the block list.
I don't know what this means or what purpose it serves, but I'm curious.
Also, if you are developing a system to utilize notes and it is important for the notes to have a particular form or quality of content, then you should probably
* create a data model (similar to an ORM, I suppose),
* test incoming notes against this model,
* throw an error if they fail the test,
* block senders that regularly send errored notes,
* and sort all errored notes out for correction or disposal.
Figured this out, as well.
You have to assume that tools implement NIPs differently or create notes that aren't based upon accepted NIPs or their software is simply buggy, so some might create events you can't later interpret.
Also explains why you can sometimes see an event in one client, but not in any another.
There's currently no simple way for a user to determine whether a client sticks to any standard. You have to analyze the code (for every version you use), stick to the larger products that drive the standard, or resign yourself to the event mess.
#nevent1q…74s4
What I now realize is that someone used to developing airplane navigation systems or banking apps can also use the protocol to create software. They just have to see the NIPs as a document permanently in draft status, that is more inspiration than precise specification.
The precise specification will be in their own implementation documentation because that is one layer closer to the resulting code.
And they can't just write "use NIP-3927 here", they have to write "use NIP-3927 with the commit from May 1st" because it could change while they are working.
Treat it like a concept snapshot.
The parable of the protocol.
Gardening is a good metaphor.
1) Someone makes a rough sketch of a tomato garden or simply plants one haphhazardly and scribbles up what he planted.
2) He writes "A Tomato Garden" across the top.
3) He submits this sketch to a group of other gardeners and suggests that everyone else can use his picture to plant their own tomatoes. Some do, and their resulting garden looks roughly like his. It at least contains tomatoes.
4) Someone used to producing pasta sauce on an industrial scale for canning and sale to the wider public, comes along and looks at the sketch and says, "How in the world am I supposed to use this? This doesn't contain the information I need to produce tomatoes! And, look, the tomatoes planted in the top-right corner are below a shade tree and will rot!"
5) Everyone else in the group just stares at him, in bewilderment, and says, "Dude, we all planted tomatoes just fine, using this sketch. What is your problem? Just take it, fix everything that is wrong in your own garden, add what is missing, and plant some tomatoes."
6) So he does that, comes back and says, "I did it completely differently in the end, but I also ended up with tomatoes."
7) Everyone else, "Welcome to the 🍅 club! 🥳We've since completely redone the sketch and we're all producing bell peppers, now, so it's actually a🫑club, but welcome anyway."
Yes, what I didn't understand is that reverse-engineering from existing implementations is defined in the protocol. And that those implementations can be different, so you have to pick one.
And that is why the NIPs can be incomplete, incorrect and inconsistent: you're supposed to go look at (what you hope is) running code and code executes dynamically, so they are forced to define it there. And what you see there doesn't need to match what you saw in the NIP because the NIP-repo and the code-repo are not maintained in unison and there is no configuration management. They probably matched at some point, and then diverged.
Some of the NIPs are stand-alone and heavily-reviewed, but that is an artifact of the people working on the NIP. Like Uncle Bob. He comes in and cleans up his favorite NIPs periodically, before he adopts the latest version.
Theoretically, any collaborator can do that, which leads to the constant changing of NIPs.
I'm feeling quite sanguine about all of this, now. I'm glad to finally understand why the quality of Nostr apps is so often low: people who aren't used to developing reliable software find the protocol concept easiest to understand and use because they aren't accustomed to clearly documenting their work.

Likewise, ig you rely on the imported data actually matching the NIP-01 implementation, then you need to run QC in your imports.
Here's a concrete example from @npub1u5n…ldq3
The NIP-01 has field names like "created_at". To import other people's notes, you can either:
* Implement those names the way they are now written and keep up with any changes
* Implement them and then forget about it until something breaks
* Don't use the names at all, or use completely different names, and just analyze the field data to figure out which ones are tags, dates, etc.
So, you don't need to follow or implement the changes carefully, and they don't really expect you to. That's why they feel free to constantly tinker with stuff.
Just implement something that does roughly whatever NIP-01 describes and is compatible with some other people's implementations and then move on with your life.
It's not like anyone is going to check or care.
Yeah, and they often do it by coming up with some new form of speech and differentiating themselves by being the select few who speak it.
Same feels.
You can't fix your confusion by reading the NIPs harder, so don't bother.
The NIP is just a way of saying:
1) I am going to do something like X.
2) I did X, here's a link to it.
Think of it more like a public announcement.
Once you realize that there's hardly any quality control on the NIPs, it all makes sense.
Stop clapping.
Get on the stage.
It's like they're a theater play and we're all just spectators, waiting for them to finish their act and proclaim, "...and the moral of the story is...", so that we can all start clapping and throw flowers on the stage and beg for an autograph.
Not realizing that we could just put on costumes and get on the stage, ourselves.
Only a handful of people know enough about the protocol to influence the protocol and fully utilize the protocol.
That's why it seems like they are supercoders and their implementations drive everyone else's development. Their implementations are the protocol.
I think we all thought you use Nostr to decentralize your information. They didn't know that the protocol itself is decentralized.
If you don't write it down and only point to your code elsewhere, then everyone will be tempted to just copy-paste from your code, so that their version works with or like your version.
So that's an external enforcement of the reuse and interoperability goals, but the biggest implementers can direct all other implementations.
And, yet, everyone happily uses that one.
It took me all day to digest this, but this is now my understanding:
* The Nostr protocol is not focused on reuse or standardization, so there is no expectation that you can look through the repo and understand what the NIPs do.
* The NIPs are not necessarily independent of each other, but they don't have to match up and nobody is coordinating their maintenance.
* Implementations of the same NIP are not necessarily interoperable, nor is there an expectation that they be so.
* The documentation of a NIP can simply be hyperlinks to two websites that implement it and a vague description. Those websites could later change and no longer cover the NIP, but that doesn't effect the NIP.
That doesn't negate my argument.
Ah, I was looking at the wrong repo, thanks.
Yes, very different to Nostr because they actually clearly define things, just with different possibilities noted.
Nostr sometimes just says "these two people implemented a thing someplace else that does something vaguely like this".
That's mostly code, tho, right?
Nostr itself doesn't contain any code.
Bad example, but I get your point.
What is the benefit for writing a dictionary for a language only two people speak? Why bother even writing that down? Nobody is going to look at it, after it's written.
It's only worth writing down if you want to standardize the language, so that lots of different people can use it to interact without creating confusion.
But then you need to write it down clearly.
A protocol is a lingua franca, not a dialect from a remote mountain village.
It exists to raise and clarify interaction between a maximum number of individuals.
Wait, what is this about removing the authors? I must have missed that?
I would like a definition of done for all NIPs, including existing ones.
The protocol repo should be the place to go to find out what is in the protocol.
#nevent1q…3j6c
Favorite is when the note is just a BT link, so that most of us can't even read it.
Just use NIP-01 and cram everything into the "tags" and the "content" and then parse later.
Come back anytime, for free tips.
What is the "definition of done" for a NIP?
Does it have to be complete and directly contain all information needed to implement it?
Does it have to clearly document all of its dependencies to other NIPs?
Does the ReadMe file have to be updated?
Does it have to have an issue that it closes, that includes all documentation, including
* the user story or use case,
* acceptance criteria,
* justification for the need for the new NIP, including comparisons with already-existing NIPs,
* text/code example of the full NIP,
* a reference to at least one implementation proving the concept, that can be tested dynamically,
* and etc.?
You misunderstand. I'm not looking at applications of the protocol. I'm looking at the protocol, itself.
I was this many days old, when I found out that there's such a thing as spaghetti documentation.
Jokes on them. Code is also just documentation.
Yes, but the closed-source stuff isn't publishing to the entire world. A lot of it really will not be read by anyone who didn't work on it.
Having lots of reviewers is the main goal of open-source software, otherwise you would have a private repo and don't have to deal with everyone staring at your stuff.
Nostr is an open-source protocol that is kept private through obscurity.
I mean... it's on the Internet.
Why is so much open-source stuff written like they think nobody else is ever going to read it?
I also don't understand how an implementation of an event proves that the new event is necessary.
The hurdle for creating a new NIP should be quite high and the criteria should be objective.
