Mempools are clearing (and I'm not talking about the sats per vbytes )... GN.
This is considered true for anything that is public on the internet. Especially when the internet archive was in its prime scanning and copying everything it could find on the public web.
The key difference here is that the content is signed. We see screenshots of tweets and archived copies of content, but how can we ever know that the data/screenshots are genuine and undoctored? We must trust that the copies are genuine and that the re-publishers are honest and unwavering in the face of pressures to doctor their data.
With Nostr, all content is signed. As long as we know a person's npub, we can always verify copies of nostr content and prove that it is data created by our person of interest.
This means that if someone wants to twist our words, run a smear campaign, or wants to hide their words by denying their own content, as long as we can find copies of the original content, we can know what is real and what is not.
Lock to pubkey is not the same.
You need to send the ecash to the mint and have them reminted. I was thinking if there was a cheaper (smaller payload) way of doing it.
Still the idea of having support for comms over LoRa or USSD (whichever is better in a particular region) is a small incremental cool idea either way.
GM. I was thinking about ecash and how we could ever have double spend resistance. Here is my train of thought.
Even though Bitcoin transactions can be signed and handed offline, the blockchain is necessary to prevent double spends.
1. In cashu, you give me something. Great.
2. I still need proof that you didn't give this to someone else.
3. We need a central trusted source of spends as anonymous as possible.
3. Machunkura has "offline" payments using USSD
4. LoRa is also an interesting messaging mechanism for small messages.
Key word here being SMALL messages.
What information would we want sent and to who?
Possibly sending to the mint is a good idea, we already have their ultimate trust.
Could we hash the cashu token and lock it to ourselves with a small key or password or hash of a password?
If you attempt this and the token is already locked, you get "immediate" notification to reject payment.
The hashing idea is my attempt to reduce the payload but it might be a silly idea 😄
You couldn't hash multiple tokens together because the mint wouldn't be able to lock an individual cashu token if it were hashed along with other tokens together. So it wouldn't be effective at preventing double spends for offline users.
Curious what anyone else has thought about regarding this topic.

Ooh, how about posts made by your most interacted with followers in the last 4h but anyone with more than 1 post only has their last post shown and an indicator lets you click to see the rest so you can see everyone else's posts before you dive in.
From a tax perspective, they are income, but who is gonna know or care to track such small amounts?
Source? I can't see it. Although I am looking for a UK source ideally.
GM. I remember when I could keep up with Nostr. I could come and scroll down a few posts and see the messages I saw yesterday.
This is no longer the case. Today I open Nostr and start to scroll and then give up. I can't read it all, it would just take too much of my time, I'll just scroll to the top and read a few posts and hope the most relevant posts bubbled to the top via boosts and likes.

The one gripe I have with it is that if and when Block goes under, you gotta sweep to another wallet because now:
1. You are in a 2 of 2
2. It is unlikely that the app/account will transfer to a new phone anymore
3. Social recovery is non-existant as it actually relies on Block servers to work (for some unexplained reason)
4. The only thing left is your recovery kit and you better use it before you lose any of your keys now.
I can't call this long term for that reason.
Someone get nostr:npub192wm8uz7qgfvkung6zznxqgr4uc8hw0uszqzy330cpsw0y0v3fxqzkl9njto comment here so I can zap him for this magnificent poem.
Zap this. All zaps go to Tom from here.
More stupid and sad that people fall for it.
It's both stupid and sad that the media is just throwing a tantrum and begging their followers to follow them somewhere that they can't be challenged but they frame it like they are making informed decisions and empowering their followers to follow their lead.
I feel proud to be one of your 24 followers but....
You gotta cut out 3 more for the golden number.
Is that a bad wtf? Or a good one? Like W T F ?! 😶🫨😏🤤🤓🤯🍆
GM.
Which one makes you more motivated to protect your personal and financial privacy?
We don't want a dystopian world where...
1. A beurocrat can freeze or seize our funds for having the wrong opinion on social media.
2. A charming politician or ruler can silence any criticisms and nuances by defunding anyone who might speak out and peddling propaganda so they, no matter how many there are, can't reach anyone.
3. The wealthy are able to monitor and punish the poor while incentivising behaviours that are not in their favour without any recourse or justice.
4. Give your sound bites if you got a better one.
Overall, I'm curious if not talking about direct personal attacks and focusing on systemic attacks that affect your neighbours and maybe affect you indirectly are more likely to move people.
It has always been considered possible to place a legal order to seize your bitcoin.
They can't "seize" what you don't hand over to them.
Does this make it a taxable event 🤪.
Yes...
And then he's pushing it as if it is some massive ko over the Lightning Network as a technology because of his new found appreciation for big blocks.
It's cool to talk to big blockers and get different perspectives to be clear, just don't do something as dumb as this and then use it to create propaganda.
This is a Vlad problem, not a Lightning Network problem... ESPECIALLY when his wallet of choice even does splicing. 😵💫
