secure scuttlebutt by Dominic Tarr

where is he, why isn't he on nostr ?

on his sailboat still?

simple: he is not amongst us !

kind of dead, right?

or take David Chaum. not dead, I guess, but not on nostr and won't be.

that's what I mean by saying: these giants are either dead, or not amongst us.

and their worthy successors?

They are already here.

That will have todoo, I guess.

Grok:

"Das englische Wort „scuttlebutt“ lässt sich ins Deutsche am besten mit „Gerücht“, „Klatsch“ oder „Tratsch“ übersetzen. Es bezeichnet informelle, oft unbestätigte Informationen oder Gespräche, die in einer Gruppe kursieren. Der Begriff stammt ursprünglich aus der Seefahrt, wo „scuttlebutt“ ein Trinkwasserfass bezeichnete, an dem Seeleute sich versammelten und Neuigkeiten austauschten."
