Yes! Users can help by setting up topical relays. Cooking relays, travel relays, etc.

whats your myers-briggs type? for science.

Our nostr account was hacked.

The attacker posted the previous post about evading taxes. Our organization can not be held responsible for his horrible views. Everyone please pay your taxes, we are in full compliance. I am only leaving up his horrible post to aid our investigation.

Nostr and relays protocol

Is like

HAM radio and repeater technology

Both decentralized

Run your own relay and repeater

This looks great. Along with a static site rendering long form content this is essentially a full fledged blogging engine.

This is pretty cool but what I'm envisioning is a replacement to Hugo/ghost/etc where you out of band write longform content (as markdown), publish it to your relays, and have a static site just pull every kind 8 from a set of npubs and display them. The hope is to not have to run a server at all (other than your own relay if you want)

logic is to point out that proton encourages centralization

and they are not doing "real" PGP

i agree but i also think this is just a flaw in the original social media. one that nostr does not have to repeat.

it seems that the more popular someone is on trad social media, the less they are willing to use it 'like they used to'. they become big, they enjoy the influence but they must retreat to other methods of communication 'with their friends'..

isn't social media for being social? i think so. after all, we are social creatures and the queston is, if we arent here to be social, then what are we doing here?

if my theory is correct, big influencers would engage more, if their apps were better, their experience more in their control. many who are already influencers, this is all they've known and they had already stopped 'being social' before they even got here 😎

suddenly OP showed up in the thread. Here are questions for you

1) why are people and podcasters so quick to advertise a non fully free non fully foss software?

2) why when we ask "where is bitcoinj-core", most people disappear and don't reply, like the interactions I've had so far on nostr and X?

3) Are you & others contributing anything by omitting this important fact? Maybe shedding light on it would invite more java devs to rebuild it, but this fact was hidden and censored, what would be the reason?

My contribution is that I CHECKED the code, which actually I WAS checking already, I was studying samourai's code for my own personal projects and decentralized knowledge makes it more resiliant, which then a month ago I noticed a missing piece, then this is released and it seems I am the ONLY person to notice... where are those devs that you mention? I see zero efforts to make a full source available, but 100% effort to release it as is, and for the podcast crew to advertise it as soon as possible.

What we need is a movement that is pro-privacy and PRO-FOSS at all costs, no exceptions. Samourai has been working on bitcoin since 2011 or something, I started working on this for 2 years max. They had plenty of time to distribute copies of codebases, write in many different languages, write docs for new devs, not just focus on java lmao, but they don't have the FOSS spirit. I could also get into the "where is OXT?" or "where is KYCP?" discussion. But I don't have time to rebuild someone else's work for free from scratch, unless you pay me for it I already have a job and family to take care of, plus interesting how it's "oh you noticed? well rebuild it yourself!" why not set the same standards for whoever built the new fork and force them to release APKs only after THE FULL SOURCE is available, since they are already working on it?

I myself risk my life and my family's because I live in a dictatorship, they banned X, telegram and Rumble so far for supporting free speech. And this is why to me it is FOSS or nothing. If I had the complete source code that made samourai, I would've reimplemented the wallet and whirlpool and made it work without a centralized coordinator that could be shut down and seized, even while living in a poverty state with zero funding/donations.

Umm... That's actually the tower of babel rising. Back to Sunday school!

Good morning Nostr!

This. I'm hesitant to go near that stack again until I sufficiently review the code. Samourai wasn't reproducible to build. Lots of holes in that stack IIRC

They ask:

"Hey you're doing security, is this 2FA secure for my banking?"

Me:

Don't use fiat banks. The government is typing a numbers on a screen, it's purely propaganda that it has value.

They ask:

"Is this anti-virus secure?"

Me:

Don't use Windows, Linux doesn't need anti-virus.

They ask:

"Is it a good time to buy cryptocurrency? Can I make a lot?"

Me:

Don't buy to just hold it, use it for cash, instead of credit cards.

They ask:

"What's your phone number?"

Me:

I don't use SMS, it costs money and is completely unencrypted and insecure. So you're paying to get less, while as there are many free and easy-to-use encrypted messengers, I can show you one.

They ask:

"You really think people will adopt this?"

Me:

Where's the candles? Where's the horse & carriage? Where's the bucket to take a shit in? Oh you accept technology changed the past, but you are pushing for fiat banks, windows, or SMS because you're married to the network effect of yesterday?

Bro calm down. He did it for the betterment of the protocol. Imagine when state actors try to compromise nostr and make it unusable…
