Which I for the first time read today

Interesting time capsule… there’s a clear dichotomy between the Twitter of 2009 vs. 2023.

What was righteous can become unrighteous with time.

thoughts?

So, Nostr is the same thing exept

- It's open, not privately owned

- You can transfer monetary value

?

That's 👍🔥🧡🏋️‍♀️🕺

looooove this

enlightening really

💯 only unless you didn't even "think" of exploiting these "protocols".

how do you mean? trying to understand

by simply reading the docs. and simply doing what's provided within "specific" region than actually using hops or even if you're doing it why'd you broadcast it at the first place? :|

sorry i still dont understand what you're trying to say, can you rephrase?

idk wym with "within "specific" region"; "using hops"; and "broadcast it"

i mean, i like only those people who uses open relays by paying "literal" sats. and who ignore bats along with TLS, cool domain, cool hash and! - "wss" - aka. encrypted web sockets only implemented within typescript or deno. else someone who boycotts discord. =)

man.. i dont understand all these terms, not a tech-y 😂

thanks for trying to explain tho 🤝

tq. just broadcast-ed u via wss lolz. =)

#new pub @everyday but only till early 2024 - 2025 | full permanent "nsec" id impl.

oh shit

think before u click. competition - hope ur doing all good. pv! btw. haha.

:( pv

Good morning.

Wow

Bitcoin: an “exceptionally cute idea”

cute, ftw tho, so…wagmi

This is an awesome find too... 🙏

Ha! Great find!

Holy crap that's og. And from the very beginning, there were those of believed in the possibility of bitcoin being freedom money for the people, and those pessimists who said it would never work and refused to even consider it. 14 years later, these two distinct groups of people are very much still visible!

“No wireless. Less space than a Nomad. Lame.”

Now we have the same groups forming around Nostr

amazing

Damn. So long ago yet . . . not.

the vision was always there

Perfectly describes #nostr up until the private company part:

“The reason is that it's a new messaging protocol, where you don't specify the recipients. New protocols are rare. Or more precisely, new protocols that take off are. There are only a handful of commonly used ones: TCP/IP (the Internet), SMTP (email), HTTP (the web), and so on. So any new protocol is a big deal.”

🤯

The bird will fall from the sky.

"Because they haven't tried to control it too much", 2009.

But yes, nostr protocol clearly becoming what twitter could have been, before the greed, bloat, and weaponized surveillance.

Wise

"...you don't specify the recipients." on one relay

on nostr, it's the same for recipients, but it allows you to specify and add more than one relay

and someday relays may even talk with each other

Cool piece of history. I had no idea.

He has good points. The early Internet with open protocols has enabled so much what we have today.

Maybe, its time to do it again, and nostr leading the way.

you mean private comoany vs open protocol? yeah, but adoption here is dismal. make it make sense for businesses or media, that they can monetise instantly, and they'll start to come around. so far there's no pull to come here, at all.

Internet protocol connects machines and leads to the unprecedented continuous optimization of what computers can do together.

Nostr protocol connects people and can lead to the unprecedented continuous optimization of what humans can do together.

Imagine that!
