Old man, still learning, Slowly as is appropriate for an old man, and incompletely as is appropriate for all men.

By birthdate, I am a boomer. By learning, I don’t think so. But, By God! I am still old. Ohm, Nostr, keep me deluded.

When any institution, public or not, relies on something other than its own sovereignty, you really shouldn’t attribute independence to it. We are all in this together, not independent from each other. The more you complain about your rights being trampled, the more trampling naturally emerges.

Often I find myself confused in conversation, and then it is clarified when I find I am talking to one who believes in an eternal, unchanging universe, about which we can hold some truths, while I myself am thinking not so much of what is changing as to the change itself being the only eternal. Your reference to “the water of reality that we swim in’ makes sense to me as what I call a stable complexity of conversation - that about which our experience allows us to share in understanding. It is all beautiful to me, what I get @walker to mean about ‘Drink the Sunlight’. Those things conversing and that which the conversation is about both change. What emerges from that process cannot be understood by what came before.

Can someone explain the difference in the way Nostr processes a response to a post versus an original post? Is there a preferred way to share on Nostr? 1) Responses to post or 2) Original posts?

I appreciate this way of thinking. Temporary Illusions make sense to me as Temporary Rationality - that which binds the complexity as stable to us and informs our ability to communicate. Understanding the layers of incentive that drive action (all action, not just human action) does not come from reason. More than etymology relates the Theological, the Theoretical and the Theatrical.

Subvert the state? Until I understand the Power and Authority of what follows, undermine the power and authority of the current state may be premature. Perhaps subverting my Neigbor will do instead.

Other than being able to see what you are cooking, are their benefits to this oven door cleaning? I perferred my range without a window.

My daughter believes his politics represents those of the poor, working class, deplorables that the ruling class want us to believe is the biggest threat to our democracy. She told me the line about ‘the obese milking welfare’ is a racist dog whistle.

I am more inclined to believe he is making a statement about the means by which the ‘Rich Men North of Richmond’ prioritizes the re-distribution of wealth to secure their own positions, but i am a boomer.

There are many ways to lay the blame for the obese situation. I don’t particularly believe one more than another. It does make sense to me that the churn those beliefs produce is more responsible for change than the beliefs themselves. Churning something new is the work of creators and songwriters. Let us keep churning and watch what happens.

The SEC delays, 'but there are signs that momentum is shifting toward the crypto industry'. Most crypto, not all, are securities. All ETFs are securities.

I am using the Private Nostr Relay app on umbrel. Does anyone know with the new update whether I ever need to connect my client to the relay, or if the relay will update itself using my public key.

One might go so far as to say that more people owning guns under his authority might be best.

My opinion on the issue of gun control (perhaps it is not nostr's opinion) is that the issue is inevitably related to the authority under whom the gun is controlled. For now, I am not ceding that authority to others.

Hello #nostr #friends and #family. I hope you are all doing well today. We are here to share an investment proposal with you. 🤙🏻

Executive Summary

We are seeking an investment of 1,672,627 sats to expand the #Nostr #relay #infrastructure in under-served regions. This investment will enable us to purchase domains, build out infrastructure, and launch at least one new Nostr relay per month for the next six months. By increasing the number of relays, we will improve the performance, reliability, and censorship resistance of the Nostr network, benefiting users worldwide.

Background

Nostr is a decentralized communication protocol that relies on relays to store and transmit messages between users. Relays are the backbone of Nostr's decentralization, ensuring that network control doesn't fall into the hands of a few entities. Currently, there is a need for more relays in geographically under-served regions to enhance the network's performance and resilience.

Objectives

* Purchase domains and build out infrastructure for new Nostr relays.

* Launch at least one new Nostr relay per month for the next six months in under-served regions.

* Improve the performance, reliability, and censorship resistance of the Nostr network.

Strategy

* Identify under-served regions where new Nostr relays will have the most significant impact on network performance and resilience.

* Purchase domains and set up infrastructure for new relays, ensuring they meet Nostr's technical requirements.

* Launch new relays and monitor their performance, making adjustments as necessary to optimize their operation.

* Promote the new relays within the Nostr community to encourage users to connect to them, further enhancing the network's decentralization.

Budget

The requested investment of 1,672,627 sats will be allocated as follows:

* Infrastructure setup: 80%

* Contingency fund: 15%

* Marketing and promotion: 5%

Conclusion

By investing in the expansion of Nostr relay infrastructure, we will improve the performance, reliability, and censorship resistance of the Nostr network. This investment will benefit users worldwide, ensuring that Nostr remains a decentralized and resilient communication platform. We kindly request your support in this endeavor and look forward to working together to strengthen the Nostr network.

If this is an investments you are soliciting, can you be more specific about what return the investor might reasonably expect? If it is a donation you are requesting, then I understand.
