Pubiky is competing for the same user base as nostr, but its dev is so scared of failure that he won’t even let people try it because he already knows they’ll hate it. 😂
Discussion
I dont hate it
Yes actually I do... i like buttorrent tech a lot and the dht mainline holds a lot of familiarity for me... plus the key signing is super clean and partitioned
If p2p nodes build appropriately, there's a really robust network for indexing there
Gives early bitcoin build meets pirate bay vibes
Buttorrent lol i hate android keyboards that 4 sure
Seems he should want more people to try it then.
I didn’t know people weren’t able to try it…
Wait… have you even tried it?
Yes I have like 6 active personal indices running on it
It’s only available to try by invite code.
You can literally ask John or the pubky team for an invite and they will give you one… permissionless protocols do not equate to permissionless coercing of server space
There are hardware limitations in p2p networks and it’s expensive af to host a server
Access codes bottleneck bad actors that would destroy the protocol instantly by coercion of hardware space
Nostr is built off of relays and TR L1s… the only reason this is possible is bc there was an early Satoshi era where people built nodes
Just like what will happen with the execution of pubky… its literally no different
You’re just farther down the line and able to piggy back off of 14 years of early development work that you didn’t see take place under the hood
Nostr doesn’t run on Bitcoin nodes and has only been around for about 4.5 years.
nostr is just P2TR repurposed
^^^ you wouldn’t have nostr/zaps w.o taproot, you wouldn’t have taproot without LN driven development, you wouldn’t have LN without bip 0001, and you sure as hell wouldn’t have any of it without Satoshi peer node 1
Well then how about not dunking on people like John and his team who are v intelligent and putting forth an insane amount of energy and resource to build a censorship resistant P2P cryptographically secure protocol- calling pubky permissioned is active defamation of FOSS development {which fine… but don’t do it from a platform of self righteousness}
If you really support decentralization, user freedom, and sovereignty then you support a future where permissionless P2P protocols exist in the HUNDREDS… otherwise it’s just leeching off of NGu tech
Because John is an insufferable asshole who likes to insult everyone who dares to counter his opinion or question his intelligence. If he wants to dish it he can also take it. Why is your head so far up his ass as to jump in and white knight for him? 😂
Because I like mainline DHT 😂 and I believe in Satoshis original vision
All I’ve seen is John arguing with and insulting anyone who wants to try Pubky 🤷♂️
Talks shit about nostr, on nostr. But a meme mocking him gets a mute. He cant take the heat. He should go back to play with his little invite codes
He’s here to be agreed with.
He’s here to tell us nostr sucks. And we’re here to agree with him 😂
If we were smart we would be building on Pubequay
Let me ask for permission to use Pubegay first
pubiky? pubky?! ist this https://github.com/pubky the stuff? https://www.pubky.org
Youre doing better than most gj!
