Oh I see, are you using nostr wallet connect (NWC)?
Usually it does that for just a second or two, then a popup shows asking me which wallet I want to send from.
1. Did you install other bitcoin wallets?
2. Have you tried killing #Amethyst and opening it again?
You playin' like you ain't already the biggest nostr influencer on this goddamn Earth?!
Ugh! You all really made me do it!
Also doesn't make it "just a username"
Use habla.news or yakihonne and post links to wherever I want to share it.
Depends, elonmusk@tesla.com is a much stronger and verifiable username than potus@anon-nostr-identities.com.
This is because NIP 05 builds atop of the typical web security we are all used to relying on.
You wouldn't trust logging into a bank online if the domain was bank-of-america2.com but why do we trust bankofamerica.com?
We use domains to verify the source of content, NIP05 leverages this to enable verification of identities.
Not yet.
Its a simplification, but he is basically a martyr for bitcoin and a hero to anarchists and libertarians who believe government should have less power and rules should not be applied/enforced in an uneven manner.
A simple analogy, if a man targeted and killed your entire family and you confronted and injured him, is it really fair given that HIS family is the government, that you be punished to the highest degree while he gets to continue targeting and killing other families?
The government conspired against one man, they entrapped him, their agents took advantage and profited personally from his platform.
I don't believe this was about justice, I believe it was sending a message about who is boss.
Another analogy, you are hungry, a man named Robinhood steals from the rich to give to the poor. You survive another day.
The police find and capture this man. More people become homeless, the homeless are dying all around you, Robinhood is plastered all over the walls to scare anyone else from ever attempting this again.
No one does anything about the growing homeless, but immediate action was taken when the privileged were slightly inconvenienced at the benefit of the poor. And of course, it isn't like rich aren't stealing from the poor.
I know these are analogies and not proofs or facts, but some of the facts are not framed neutrally.
"Facilitated drug trade", or "opened a market for alternative medications that were originally outlawed to allow racists to target a minority group more effectively"?
We seem to live by arbitrary truths like "breaking the law is bad", and although it is generally true, it is an absolute statement that leaves no room for context.
I don't believe there were any correlations between drug related deaths and assaults, and the silk road being operational for example.
"Unique 0-click deanonymization attack targeting Signal, Discord and hundreds of platform"

> Signal instantly dismissed my report, saying it wasn't their responsibility and it was up to users to hide their identity: "Signal has never attempted to fully replicate the set of network-layer anonymity features that projects like Wireguard, Tor, and other open-source VPN software can provide".
Wow.
Hi Barry, thanks for the reply.
I did mention the sentence was double life sentence + 40 years and that he's served 11 years 3 months thus far.
Again, I think he should be free. A double life sentence is overly harsh. However, I do think he broke laws. Here's why:
- The Silk Road facilitated drug sales.
Unfortunately, that's considered illegal in the US and most countries in the world, including Iceland where it looks like the main server(s) were located.
If he and/or the servers were located in a country where that was not illegal, then I would agree with you.
I might even agree with you *if* the website didn't actually have a website menu category specifically called "Drugs" and sub-categories for "Opioids" and the like.
If there were no categories for drugs and users just listed the stuff under "Other", I would likely agree with you 100% that he didn't commit a crime but going out of your way to add those menu categories means you understood what you were doing. I think that's where he made the mistake, it's hard to argue against it.
Having said that, I think drugs should not be illegal. I think adults should make their own choices. I think it's immoral for the government to tell adults what they can or cannot do with their bodies.
It seems like he's a good person that made a mistake and I think he's definitely more than paid the price and should be free.

He provides a great use for the website, he was able to source his mothers cancer medication via the Silk Road website. It's unfortunate that some legitimate use cases for the website are considered a crime.
I'm glad a conversation can be had about it. This case is difficult because it's emotional and triggering for a lot of people. It's interesting to see peoples replies and reactions to this topic.
What is your thoughts on what he was and was not convicted for officially?
“Bitcoin is the first financial system in history that doesn’t require personhood for ownership of money.”
— Andreas Antonopoulos

I've always assumed and expected that machines follow rules because they do what they are told. Not because they have options and incentives.
So now a car earns for itself, why?
Maybe your car works for uber while you are not using it and returns to you, but you'd want the money for that. No human would allow a machine to earn for itself because that would lead to a machine thinking for itself and we want tools not companions. (For the most part)
I love it when legacy social platforms advertise and emphasize the need for decentralized protocols.
Oh, that's why it's called TON? Well if it is THE OPEN NETWORK, then what the duck am I doing here on Nostr?
We've had a wave of new users, most likely coming due to nostr:nprofile1qqsrpl96thl42ve0gsah63ypz75uunzpgfrd0g2x8nry4ggtef6crdgpzfmhxue69uhhqatjwpkx2urpvuhx2ucpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgqgawaehxw309ahx7um5wghx67t0wahxgctddehx7er99e3k7mgljk58c's recommendation.
This is beyond crazy now.
The western governments have gaslit themselves for so long now, that they seem to be willing to go to war just to convince us that it isn't just about favouritism, it's about something worth going to war over but... I'm sure they'll never know what exactly it is that they're doing this for. đź’©
