Just realized Amethyst is displaying longform content inline.

If these articles could link, and if they could honour nostr: links to other articles then we can do away with legacy web completely.

No more domains, no more namespace, no more publishing websites to webhosts. Pure post note to relay and link to note in client. An entirely new web.

Is anyone here from Australia or New Zealand? Is there a downunder Nostr scene? #aussie #kiwi #downunder

“Who wants to strike my rod?” 😂

I’m exploring a concept I’m calling a “codex”

It’s a concept at this point. The idea is to gamify client exploration. You are guided to perform various tasks for which you collect badges.

You also “rank up” as you progress to more challenging steps or requirements.

Achieving a certain rank could unlock premium tier of the client, or perhaps other benefits (not sure exactly what yet). Attaching a very rough idea

#nostrdesign

Sure, the Nostr may be tiny compared to, well…basically anything, but I’ve never had 6000 followers anywhere else, ever.

Thank you for being here and sticking around while we bootstrap the freedom together.

Gn! 🌙🫂💜🤙

Yup! I was thinking that it would be beneficial for nostr to be accessible via radio & that this was the most straightforward way to do that. Not sure how much it’d be used, but it could be the start of a healthy mesh system.

G'day :)

Reticulum + Nostr

As developed nations continue to enter sovereign debt crises akin to the 1940s, there are a few main outcomes.

Option 1) In a world without bitcoin, or if bitcoin fails, central banks and their governments recapitalize themselves with gold, devalue the people, and do another cycle of this inflationary policy for the next few generations. The Treasury/Fed handbook literally has a written option for this, although it is stated more opaquely. It can be done in the US (and probably many other countries) based on current laws if shit hits the fan. Denmark's central bank and China's economic ministers have also written similar things regarding extreme outcomes. It's pretty straightforward based on the past.

Option 2) We go into a centralized technocratic future. Centralized AI and CBDCs win. People have cuck money that the AI+government control. It's like Brave New World, 1984, take your pick. Hard to say, but not free.

Option 3) Open source money wins. Bitcoin and its ecosystem win. Governments get defunded from their fiat printers, and have to be more honest with their ledgers or default and get reconstructed since they can't print what their people hold as savings, or in the hegemon's case, can't print what the world holds. Probably a world of chaos for a time during the transition, but also an opportunity for peace and building the next era. Keeping track of the nukes would probably be a big deal, like when the Soviet Union fell. It's actually kind of remarkable that they collapsed economically and politically but in an orderly enough way to keep track of and secure most of the nukes.

I don't know which one will win, but I consider Option 3 to be the honorable method; the path of transparency. That's the one I am rooting for and building for.

If I fail, I would like it written that it's the method I tried for, but realistically the AI+government will probably delete most of the records of all of the failures anyway, since that is how history works, without any sort of objective truth keeper. Our best hope is to hide records in a distributed way and hope they can remain undisturbed for a while. At least bitcoiners have a tendency to write stuff in steel and make low time preference things. Some psychopath will hopefully carve a life work in steel in a cave or something, but who knows, lol.

And ironically, if Option 3 wins, any of the losing factions could still insert their ideas and paths into the Bitcoin blockchain, now or in the future. It's the most immutable database that we know how to build, and would preserve their ideas as it does our ideas. Like, you know what? I *want* the Communist Manifesto to be in the immutable Bitcoin blockchain, because I want people in the future to know how *bad* it is. It might already be in there; I don't know. I wouldn't want people centuries from now to think about those ideas and believe they came up with something new; I want to preserve my enemies' texts because I believe I can win through markets, force, virtue, and truth.

I think that's almost always what determines the winning side. Losers want to burn their enemies' texts to ensure that their good ideas don't spread too much. Winners want to preserve their enemies' texts to ensure that their bad ideas are never repeated.

Testing shipyard PWA

Won't they just blacklist all known Nostr relays if Nostr becomes popular? Seems like it's just too small to be on CCP radar.

NOW IT IS.

EU is few? lol

One more thing. In addition to building a Slack alternative on Nostr & embedding a mini Nostr client in our existing apps we are launching a public relay on some decent iron.

The server is based in Switzerland and the datacenter runs primarily on geothermal and hydroelectric.

We should have the relay ready to go early next week and we will share it widely. More will come after that.

We want to help and this is a baby step.

#nostr #relay #public

main reason i won’t open up twitter atm, saw some traumatising content of the ukraine war unintentionally..

I can not give a fuck about nostr for a whole week and then at the weekend I can obsess like an OCD madman over nostr.

Love that feeling. That's natural. X/twitter wasn't.
