Why no VPN?

Interesting.

Last time I was in China (2019) the use of VPN was the norm, and I was quite surprised by how well they worked, without much interruption! I suspect that the great firewall cannot close them all, would be like chokeing.

Definitely. Also university and big institutions can use vpn legally with registration.

BTW what is sms2nostr 🤣

I need to revamp it somehow; I have the NIP-26 delegation implementation ready by months but one day before presenting it the NIP has been suddenly boycotted by everyone hahaha; so I'm waiting the next delegation nip to udpate it.

Create your own nip

I hate nip 26 too 🧚‍♂️

NIP-46

Pablo, do you have an alert notification on the "nip-26" keyword, right? :))

PS: I'm waiting the nip26.lol sarchastic update ;)

Hahahaha 😂

I'm already in my pajama but will zap this note tmr getting up and open my computer

NIP-46 is nice and necessary, but it seems to solve a different class of problems, with a different paradigm. It requires a dynamic "signer" who must be online when the event is signed; since a not custodial signer is 99.99% a smartphone application, this means that events cannot be signed if the user's device is offline.

In the example case of sms2nostr, the user would have to configure a VPS with a signer, and obviously this is not feasible for consumer applications.
