“Nostr is a very humble protocol - it is little more than an empty shell which users can then fill with content types that solve their use cases.”

Rules for standards-makers
“In many ways, Nostr has the potential to be an upgrade to the entire internet. By decoupling data storage (relays), identity (keys), and functionality (clients), it becomes much easier to compose whatever pieces you might need in new and interesting ways.”

Downloaded and weekend plans obliterated!
I’m here for the protocol because I can build the platform for the people I love.
No government required.

She had Lyme’s disease last year. All cleared up, but her rear legs were weakened/paralyzed for a few weeks. Not sure if she 100% recovered so we have to manage her walks.
Yeah, we might need to get one for #npug
That’s worth a zap and a follow.
FWIW, we had hippies and draft dodgers move into our general area. Let me count the ways we had to help them out as neighbours.
Off grid fantasies are a distraction, not a destination. The goal isn’t to vanish. The goal is to be harder to track, influence, or exploit.
You don’t have to disappear. You just have to stop being easy to find.

Yup. Grew up on a remote farm. Not really keen to return to the romanticized version of living off-grid.
That’s a pickleball court out front. Need to helicopter in a constant supply of competitors and pickleballs.
Next house. No need to mow the lawn.
Actually, it’s:
people > protocol > platform > government

Audio is fine. Message is pristine. But the video is as jittery as hell.

If your investment advisor tells you to invest your life savings into ice cream scoop coins, head for the nearest exits.
"When your local grocery store launches its own stablecoin, it's time to check the exits."
With nostr:
1. Every npub is its own identity
2. Every event has its own identity
3. Every event is signed by a npub
Thanks. That’s all I need for rules
And with a few basic tech choices like JSON, SECP256K1, and Schnorr, I can build without permission.
#nostr #permissionless
Nostr doesn’t need permission to scale.
It’s pretty simple - we are just looking for a way to support the atomic transfer of data, goods and money.
It’s very simple - Bitcoin has no concept of ‘price’ and ‘ownership’ - those traits are ascribed to Bitcoin by users like you and me, who have paid a ‘price’ to ‘own’ some bitcoin.
Paying a ‘price’ for new Bitcoin comes in only one way - proof of work; the schedule was set out starting with the Genesis block. ‘Price’ for existing bitcoin is negotiated entirely outside of the system, either a price set between two parties or a price offered on an exchange.
As for ‘ownership’ - the concept does not exist in Bitcoin- only proof of possession, which is mathematically upheld by private and public keys.
The true genius of Bitcoin, in the words of the philosopher Niklas Luhmann, is that the system was successful in externalizing moral judgment (pricing) outside of the system.
Read all about it.
After the biggest global event so far, mainstream #ssi is hitting a brick wall of complexity and capture.
Thankful we have #nostr and nostr:npub1s0veng2gvfwr62acrxhnqexq76sj6ldg3a5t935jy8e6w3shr5vsnwrmq5
A swap line between two central banks is pretty much the same as a Lightning channel between two nodes.
So the new financial infrastructure is this.
Bitcoin is the reserve asset backed by central banks
Lightning is the swap lines between central banks.
Cashu is the IOUs issued by the commercial banks.
It doesn’t take a genius to see that this financial structure will take over, and Bitcoin will be the store of value, medium of exchange, and unit of account.
Right now, the aim of stablecoins is to preserve liquidity in relation to the unit of account, USD, but that will eventually go away. But it will be a bumpy ride for USD fiat holders and even more bumpy for non-USD fiat holders

Build systems that favour commitment over coercion.
Nobody knows….
If I zap you, it’s nothing personal- I’m just testing Nostr Wallet Connect with #nostr #safebox
Don’t beg, negotiate.
Repeat to yourself 100x
“Bitcoin is the asset.
Lightning is the rail.
Cashu is the credit.
And Nostr brings it all together in a permissionless way.”
This is what the global financial infrastructure will look like in the future.
This is what I’ve concluded in building #nostr #safebox
#unstoppable
Banks don't have money - they have IOUs in context.
If you make an assumption, let it be the Diffie-Hellman assumption.
