Nostr Web Client

i am a n00b.

if you want me to explain the ins and outs of proof of work and its' history i know a shitload of it... there was a huge culture around it for some time and i soaked it up and after returning to bitcoin on bitcoin twitter i figured out a heap of things... oh yeah, maybe i could be some kind of influencoor to try and teach people to not be fooled

there is only one valid PoW

bitcoin

there is no other PoW with any kind of security

if you want to hassle me for an hour on a podcast to talk about exactly why i'm more than willing

i could improve bitcoin's difficulty adjustment

but i don't think it actually could really improve anything

i've dug deep into this

i remember the early days of hashcash, i was deep into the tor mailing list, you can find me on there, David Vennik that's me.

it took me a long time to realise that there can only be one

proof of work for nostr notes isnt about security or a form of value. its simply a kind of signal similar to vanity addresses, npubs, and more.

ᴛʜᴇ ᴅᴇᴀᴛʜ ᴏꜰ ᴍʟᴇᴋᴜ 1y ago

signalling what exactly?

if that signal becomes worth something you are toast

Nice and Kind Vic 1y ago

it signals that i felt it important enough to expend resources to achieve a desired result. the fact that the result doesnt have a monetary value, or resources used could have been allocated elsewhere in a profitable way vs a loss isnt the goal.

what makes you think that SHA256 hashes are going to be distinctive for your protocol versus 16gb typical thousands of cores GPUS?

i am not moving the goalposts

what the fuck do you think that nostr PoWs are?

are you gonna be like me 5 years ago and try to use more complicated, CPU based PoWs?

maybe you could ask me what i leaned from trying? no?

GFY

have fun staying retarded

Nice and Kind Vic 1y ago

I'll pass. The world has an abundance of fools already.

ᴛʜᴇ ᴅᴇᴀᴛʜ ᴏꜰ ᴍʟᴇᴋᴜ 1y ago

yeah, and i went through all that effort to make a ... 5 year history for your amusement

good luck mate

you and all the other nostr pow idiots

Nice and Kind Vic 1y ago

Go write a long form nostr post explaining it

ᴛʜᴇ ᴅᴇᴀᴛʜ ᴏꜰ ᴍʟᴇᴋᴜ 1y ago

i already wrote it many times

i'm not inventing something new here

you are the one that is deluded into thinking you can use this tech for something

Nice and Kind Vic 1y ago

ᴛʜᴇ ᴅᴇᴀᴛʜ ᴏꜰ ᴍʟᴇᴋᴜ 1y ago

Nice and Kind Vic 1y ago

Oh thank you, but you rate me much too highly. Im not in his league.

ᴛʜᴇ ᴅᴇᴀᴛʜ ᴏꜰ ᴍʟᴇᴋᴜ 1y ago

no, you are garbage because you run off and say "proof of work" without actually studying what that means
