The Internet connectes the entire world, Bitcoin unifies the entire world.

So fucking cringe

Yep.

Npub-based Web of Trust could be a substitution of both DNS Hierarchy and Public Certificate Authorities.

They said it was impossible! But, as of today we have de-facto solved a long-standing problem in computer science. And that is of decentralized global naming, that is human readable, and fair.

1. Register a name on the bitcoin block chain, on a first-come, first-served basis

2. Name is in an OP_RETURN and human readable

3. That name has an npub associated with it.

4. The npub publishes the name to nostr relays, and also has a pubky

5. The name is globally resolvable using pubky protocol, and has bittorrent level censorship resistance

A truly censorship-resistant, human-readable, naming system that includes decentralized DNS. Quite an achievment!

Starbucks in most of the EU already serves your drink in glass or porcelain (but not for takeaway - imagine sitting down for ten minutes!).

For LED hypochondria there's probably easier technological fixes than going back to incandescent (though I have nothing against those if you don't mind the extra power bill and having to replace them all the time).

You can already cook steak yourself, no need to wait for McDonalds.

I don't understand what the wait for 2035 adds. Lower coinbase subsidy, that's for sure.

No, not ready

What if "God" is just what people call the computer that runs the simulation we perceive as reality?

😭

Domain name registrars are still the most relevant and critical centralized component of the Internet.

I'm surprised that we have not been able to transition to a more decentralized, distributed, or federated system.

Despite various attempts, nothing has been able to gain significant traction. (I still remember the excitement of using Namecoin to set up a .bit domain that no one visited ...)

Perhaps this is an area where Nostr could play a role?

Anti-human policy and mandatory “services” result in energy poverty for a quarter Germans, and a cost of living to where families are not having kids.

What’s the truth then?

Don’t forget Germany pays 2.5 x for auto fuel, and three times the US rate for electricity.

And we’re open. Bedford has a new cafe…and of course we accept Bitcoin. Come by and check us out.

My Nostr post from two years ago where I criticized Elon (which was probably the only time I ever lost my temper online, being actively censored, and still stand by it) is getting a lot of new replies lately. People agreeing or disagreeing, etc.

It seems to be an influx of users, rather than a resurgence of the post itself.

Noting this because it’s statistically interesting.
