Derek, I have been discussing my vision for the web with fiatjaf since before nostr existed. Any notion that I am derivative or lack creativity in systems design would be intensely ignorant and ironic here.

The idea that I would just see a protocol and copy it is obnoxious, self-serving and lazy.

I have been researching & designing related solutions deeply for a long time. When I say things, they come from experience.

I compulsively share what I learn on all platforms that engage with it. Nostr seems to really like engaging with my criticisms, but they can't figure out how to do so in any way other than to insult and act out.

As far as working together, Nostr will need to learn that the cultism of Bitcoin does not map to the web. Because, like my popular post this week highlighted, people like me can't work with children offering fearful insults and tribal struggle sessions.

Until nostr gets comfortable with the idea that nostr is broken and dying, there's no point in tolerating this nonsense.

So what if I'm brutally candid, wtf reason is that to make it personal?

So what if I think your idols are hacks? You should be interested in why I am so sure!
