Nostr Web Client

An agreed upon time-chain, with rules and not rulers, is a desired feature.

Do you run a Facebook or Twitter server at home? Do you have access to their database? Do you get to have a say in the rules of those social networks?

The answer to all is “no,” because you are not allowed to have a vote in those networks.

An agreed upon time-chain subject to agreed upon code is a benefit, not a weakness.

Nodes can be operated behind TOR if you choose. Coins can be mixed, atomic swaps on LN. What am I missing?

Who owns the following coins?

I can't host a node for Facebook or Twitter because its a private CDN, not because its a centralized database. Gawsh.

Bitcoin's singular database is distributed over an ad-hoc public CDN, thats the actual only difference. Oh, and it determines which singular state is authoritative through consensus rather than admin. Is the White House decentralized because its populated through consensus? Lol.

Bitcoin has a singular, public, centralized, grand unified ledger widely distributed over an ad-hoc public CDN (content distribution network, not content decentralization network lol).

Nostr should show everyone who didn't already know what actual decentralized ledgers (always plural and different if really decentralized) mean.

Private database = centralized database. Gawsh.

#Bitcoin has a grand unified ledger because I don't like my savings to just disappear due to no node holding my info. Who would believe me that I own 10 million coins, written on my own ledger if no other ledger has info about it.

Are you for real??

To call the ledger centralized, PROVIDE information about the central authority that can change the details anytime they wish. Again, YOU WON'T.
