Happy birthday!!

It seems it's very hard to start building a protocol and not ending up building a platform instead.
Respect to protocol builders.
Do you know if Peter is on #nostr?

Wait, what is a "protocol revenue"??
How can a "protocol" be profitable?
They should call it a "platform" or "service" and stop misleading people.
Btw, protocols > platforms.

"Angor has no backend"

TIL backends are shitcoins.
So, that'll make it a 'pull payment', as also credit cards work right now, won't it?
Physical keys are to access security as paper signatures are to identity proofs.
An illusion from the offline world.
Agree.
NIP-05 doesn't verify a npub.
NIP-05 just adds a DNS alias to a npub.
Very, very different.
The identity is in the npub, not in the DNS name.

I would like to test Strike but it is distributed only by the app store, and anyway it says that the app is not available in my region (it is), what a mess.

Yesterday we were playing around with ideas at nostr:npub1s0veng2gvfwr62acrxhnqexq76sj6ldg3a5t935jy8e6w3shr5vsnwrmq5 , we needed something to preserve anonymity for blossom users that communicate with DVMs.
π’ Introducing Onion-routing for event publishing
This introduces insane privacy guarantees, someone can publish an event and not even the relay they are publishing from can now it's them, nor their IP address.
Technically this works very similar to Lightning, the sender constructs a route of pubkeys and can bounce around the message through pubkeys willing to route for them.
The sender can include small ecash tokens inside each onion layer to pay for the routing.
No hop in the route until the last one knows what they are routing, who its coming from and the sender very explicitly defines through which relays it should hop.
(for the sake of debugging, I built a traceroute-like view, so the sender can see the event being bounced around the different relays; in real conditions a sender wouldn't use that to preserve privacy)
Think of this like tor, just faster.

Platforms go down.
Protocols never go down.

It's called Time-based OTP for a reason.

I wouldn't.
Sorry, but that ship has already sailed.
Elon is a childish egomaniac with control obsession.
He doesn't like Bitcoin because he can't control it.
