I gotta hand if to nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5. While, bitcoin is disrupting finance, and lightning is disrupting bitcoin, Zeus is disrupting lightning.

I don't mean disrupt in a bad way, just shaking things up.

I appreciate their attitude of getting people to self-custody on Lightning and not caring if this causes the entire network to break.

I agree. If too many people using it, or it being "too decentralized" breaks the network, then I giess the network better change and adapt. Because complaining and telling people they can't do that doesn't work in a permissionless system.

That’s why I had to quickly post this note to present a 𝘭𝘪𝘮𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘳𝘶𝘯 of hoodies to commemorate this moment on Citadel Dispatch 113 with nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx and nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5

All proceeds will be evenly split with 2/3 going to support their respective projects. This hoodie will only be available within the next couple of weeks and there are two options to grab one.

OPTION 1:

https://shop.thebullishbitcoiner.com/products/zeus-the-node-is-in-the-phone-hoodie (Bitcoin is accepted — just select that option during checkout and I’ll send you an invoice)

OPTION 2:

Send me a DM here or on SimpleX. I’ll send you an invoice (ZEUS PAY ofc) and collect your shipping info there.

NOTES:

⚡️ Payments in bitcoin will get a 21% discount

⚡️ If I’m unable to ship to you, I will let you know beforehand

If you can’t tell, I’ve been super excited about ZEUS PAY. I’m grateful to be able to contribute in this way, and give both projects a $boost 🫡🏛️🧡⚡️ nostr:note1zz04c8pajk72h3ahgq4gal3s0ad55u3mu88nctfcfjuw9xkf7sjqdh2jae

nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6 begged me to come up with this.

NOSTR is a set of agreements on a file system. Everyone indexes their own files using cryptography to describe under whatever name the data is published.

Because these names are random and unique, there is no conflict among the identities so they can all exist next to each other.

This means the data can be gathered and redistributed by anyone, and they don't have to concern themselves with indexing such that others know what to ask for.

You yourself can be such a relay, or  use any (multiple of) services out there to transmit your notes and other stuff to anyone who asks for it.

This Notes and Other stuff Transmitted Over Relays (NOSTR) protocol is not special because it uses public private key pair cryptography.

Its method of success among all attempts out there is realizing that the indexing part is not what is ultimately important in becoming an open standard; but the practical, concrete means used in applying the index amongst each other.

Complexity in integrating the protocol into other systems results in centralization of development. The consequence is a limited offer in software resulting in a no longer really open standard that is in the hands of those who facilitate the tools used to speak the protocol.

By being specific on its simple set up, NOSTR can be a new starting point to set up the infrastructure we use on the internet; where we are free to name, share, find and experience.
