Subnostr

Tried being nicer to the haters… didn’t work very well. Guess we’ll just build and let ‘em bicker over their analogies and labels. Tech’ goes brrrr. 🤷‍♂️ https://video.nostr.build/7c815749f8d5ca3c3556b42bbcc29ba5de521120509a4837612fea27fdafac13.mp4

the thing that helps them so much with nostr is how underspecified everything is. it's obvious to anyone that there has to be some kind of consensus, but there isn't really a consensus on what kind of consensus. negentropy works pretty good, but you know the deal with that. peter todd has been getting some clout out of trying to argue it needs a stronger consistency like a blockchain. lol. and we know he knows nothing about scaling, or weakly consistent systems.

they should all go and read the Kafka whitepaper and Paxos and pBFT and all the rest and come back to us after they have some basic ideas about how replication actually works.

Great points. It’s easy to criticize what is poorly represented. Things may look very different a year from now… with optimized relay discovery, syncing and clear specs — their tune may change.

i really doubt that the leopards are gonna change their spots. if you catch them out lying, twisting things, wasting your time, more than a few times, and more than a few different ways they are not going to suddenly become reasonable.

they are in it to hurt you. that's their prize, their goal, and why the main strategy for dealing with them is shunning.
