I don't think there is enough appreciation, from fans or critics, that a lot of what you see here -- in productive use and in planning -- is

STUFF THAT HAS NEVER EXISTED BEFORE.

That's why this place is crawling with engineers, mathematicians, scientists, and logicians (🙋‍♀️). That's why the passions run so high and the frenemies stick together. The scent of creative destruction and experimentation hangs in the air. We are not interested in making a knock-off of something that already exists and is widely-used. When the Internet came around, everyone was using Xerox copy machines and sending memos and faxes.

DO YOU WANT TO BE THE INTERNET GUY OR THE BUILD-A-BETTER-COPIER GUY?

We don't want to get rich. We want to win the fucking Turing Medal and then get rich.

Make your choice. Pick your side, Nostr. Are you man enough, for Nostr?

Cuz, I am.
