Devil in the detail. TLS, DNS, are centralized and can be cancelled.
And how do you know the version of the website the owner released is tgeir version and hasn't been hacked?
The revolution is cryptography all the way down.
Why is Nostr underestimated? Watch this and replace "Internet" with "Nostr" and replace "AT&T" etc with "X" etc.

Nostr the protocol is much much bigger than that. It will rewrite the web as every web site will need to have signed its contents, and every visitor will need to sign their intersections with the web site.
The current web will be seen as rudimentary and crazy space because we pay ($, or attention ads) for an ID from a centralized provider and have to ask permission fromthem powers that be.
Love elixir. Cool work
Cryptography as the base layer. Few.
The media wants you to know theyâre kind of a big deal.

Losers
What project are you working on?
Born into a fiat world, we are prone to fall quickly from our path and goals. We keep believing comprises can work.
I love that the pie isnât even labeled!
PSA cashu.cash is not owned by anyone affiliated to the Cashu project. It was sniped by nostr:nprofile1qqsdulkdrc5hdf4dktl6taxmsxnasykghdnf32sqmnc7w6km2hhav3gpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezumt0d5hsz9thwden5te0wfjkccte9ehx7um5wghxyee0qyqq78r794 who's squatting the domain ever since. nostr:nprofile1qqsdulkdrc5hdf4dktl6taxmsxnasykghdnf32sqmnc7w6km2hhav3gpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezumt0d5hsz9thwden5te0wfjkccte9ehx7um5wghxyee0qyqq78r794 stated he would not transfer ownership of the domain to the open source project.
The best thing would be to transfer ownership of the domain to me or anyone else in the Cashu project. If he won't do that (which he indicated) I wish him good luck with his domain of a project he doesn't contribute to and isn't affiliated with.
Adversarial world. Change Cashuâs name and create the future you want.
Rebrand.
Breedlove playing himself in his own ice bucket is too funny
State of the Protocol.
Current NIP consensus (battles won, lost, different directions).
How did you find the time to read that!
This is why Cashu is the secret sauce. It will be the gradually, then suddenly part.
Additionally, it might be helpful to look at the nostr-openmls rust crate I've been working on. The idea is that this library would serve as an abstraction layer between nostr clients and the OpenMLS API. Essentially handling some of the boilerplate and making sure that you're using the right settings and doing the right verifications along the way.

Cool. This is super needed ... And I think your conclusions for why MLS for nostr are spot on too.
The one co located with Honeybadger this year looked good for content. But I think theones Bali sounded more exotic...
So you love the cool-aide... You should have voted harder.
Check your facts... and No, mass media headlines are not facts.
I hear you. Branding is an interesting edge case, when copycat brands try to steal part of another's goodwill. The question then is it on a Brand to establish its own authenticity and verifiability. Or ask the governments to police it, through market regulation, legals, and courts. The later is expensive in many hidden ways... most of all having to ask permission (register) to engage in the market.
Coinkite Inc. is the developer of the "BLOCKCLOCK," a product featuring seven electronic ink digits that provide customizable cryptocurrency and blockchain information, including cryptocurrency price, volumes, exchange rates, current coin supply, block height, and Merkle root. Coinkite Inc owns the trademark "BLOCKCLOCK" (Registration No. 7237159) in Class 9 in the United States.
The infringer BTCLOCK identifies its product as "BTCLOCK". It is defined as âa block with electronic ink displays, which can show stuff related to Bitcoinâ. The use of "BTCLOCK" has strong similarities, both in name and functionality, with Coinkiteâs registered trademark "BLOCKCLOCK", as follows:
1) Phonetic similarity: "BTCLOCK" and "BLOCKCLOCK" sound very similar. Both emphasize the term "CLOCK," with "BT" and "Block" being the only differences. The phonetic similarity can cause confusion, leading consumers to mistakenly believe the two products are related or come from the same business origin.
2) Visual similarity: The appearance of "BTCLOCK" and "BLOCKCLOCK" is also quite similar. "BT" and "Block" both consist of short prefixes followed by "Clock", which could easily cause confusion at first glance. In addition, the use of seven screens with electronic ink to display Bitcoin information gives the same impression in the users. The word BTCLOCK is displayed in the same exact position that it is in the BLOCKCLOCK.
3) Same functionality: Both products are aimed at a similar audience - people interested in cryptocurrency, specifically Bitcoin. Since both products appear to perform a similar function (displaying cryptocurrency prices), there is a high likelihood of confusion. Consumers might believe the two products are from the Coinkite, which is not accurate.
4) Risk of confusion: Since both devices seem to have similar functionality (displaying Bitcoin prices), this increases the chances that consumers could be confused about their origin. They may think "BTCLOCK" is a version or a rebranding of Coinkite's "BLOCKCLOCK." If "BTCLOCK" becomes associated with a different company or quality, it could dilute the distinctiveness of Coinkite's "BLOCKCLOCK".
The use of "BTCLOCK" in GitHub could be infringing Coinkiteâs trademark rights.
What would be the best solution for the alleged infringement? Are there specific changes the user can make other than removal? (e.g., transfer of trademarked username to an existing company account, removal of trademarked logo or references to company)
(1) Cease and desist the use of the words BTCLOCK, BLOCKCLOCK or similar words in the following websites: https://github.com/btclock; https://btclock.github.io/web-flasher/
(2) Remove any pictures, documents, links with the words BTCLOCK, BLOCKCLOCK or similar words from the following websites: https://github.com/btclock; https://btclock.github.io/web-flasher/
(3) Suspend and/or terminate the infringer's account BTClock.
IP laws (inc Trademarks) need to be scrapped, and this is point in case.
First to market doesn't give you a right to exclude others who produce a similar or copied product. Market monoply is anti competition. That leads to higher prices, patent trolls, and more regulation. Open Markets is capitalism.
A property right means you own something to the excision of others. If you make a wheel and own it, your neighbor can do the same. Their creation doesn't infringe on your ownership and exclusive use of your wheel. And they own their wheel. A product by all reason and logic can't be a property right.
IP is another cronyism hack on the free market that makes everyone poorer.
