For example, to make global validation work, given the distances covered and current technology (latency), a 10 min tact speed is optimal to secure the system. Or, the block size is optimal for current demand. Or the difficulty is currently optimal to main security and tact speed. Based on current computing power capabilities. That’s why the fear of quantum computing attacks is a non argument. Because it’s based in today, it’ll adjust etc etc; however, messing with the local optimum, like BCH, brings the system out of balance and sacrifices speed and security.
The implications of trading goods and services on …,
Bitcoin is the multi variable optimum of trade offs at any given point in time. It’ll always win.
We‘re not gonna stop at the moon. Straight to the sun and beyond
Another stupid question: How do you as a picture to a post?
You can buy/sell products and services that way, globally :)
Thanks for bouncing these thoughts off with each other! Today I caught myself in fiat thinking. I was pealing an “organic” orange. My wife said, how do you know it’s really “organic”? I said, you’re right, it needs a lot more regulation. My wife said, why would you trust it when the government says it’s organic? She’s right, I should trust the farmer who produces the orange. Bitcoin will bring us back to peer to peer trust. In communities. Somehow….
Agree with Dick. It won’t because it costs real money to use. Which is an example for the whole thing about capital allocation decisions using real money/scarcity.
So, does the price go up if it’s an important poll that someone may be interested in skewing? If that someone is really interested in skewing it, would their bots pay the hashcash?
As long as you keep the free option I’m good. I’m capable to decide on my own on whether or not to comment, boost, like or ZAP
The problem is, it doesn’t really help anyway. Because the dispute can happen after it shipped. After received, or not as promised, or broken etc. we should separate adjudication from the monetary transaction. Again, trust is a social value. And can not be superimposed on money. Anyway, cafe’s could start using Nostr now to charge clients. Since they are right there, for example.
I totally get what you mean. But we need to get out of the trap of inserting a third party (big brother). Maybe start small, geographically, or by community, where the community would know who’s trustworthy and bad people get voted off the island.
Ah, the trust thing. I think we have to trust each other. I would trust you, that you would ZAP me. That’s the power of Bitcoin too. Peer to peer will change social values again. Personal trust is important. As far as what’s for sale, didn’t I just advertise it? I agree that there needs to be a syntax for searching, but # initially? I think we have everything in place to get started.
Can’t you do it now? Let’s say I want to sell you my kid robot figure for 10,000 SATs. Can’t you just ZAP me 10,000 SATs when you receive it?
It could also be a marketplace? I’m going to try to sell something and get paid via ZAP shortly.
I can decide on my own whether I like a post, comment on it, boost it or ZAP it. Don’t need to pay for free speech thank you. That will kill Nostr in a minute.
The only thing I would add, in addition to monetizing content, Nostr will also be a free, peer-to-peer market place for goods and services. Game over.
Nostr is free speech and free market. Let’s use the Zap to buy/sell and we are free.
