We are in a honeymoon period before the "criminals" of the world figure out $NOSTR.

It's like Bitcoin before Silk Road.

GM fellow freedom fighters.

Here I take an example of a #nostr event published by nostr:npub1s5yq6wadwrxde4lhfs56gn64hwzuhnfa6r9mj476r5s4hkunzgzqrs6q7z and show you how to nicely extract the tags from the event using #Javascript.

#Bitcoin is uncensorable because you can't turn it off.

However, if you bought your Bitcoin through KYC, the government can see your transactions, and censor you or other parties (like the banks) from interacting with you.

#eCash is ruggable. The mint can turn off.

However, with eCash, the mint can't censor you personally. All they can do is turn the entire mint off, or keep it running. Those are their two choices. There is no database of who has what. All transactions are completely out of band.

A fascinating set of trade-offs from nostr:nprofile1qyg8wumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnddakj7qgcwaehxw309ahx7um5wghxvmt59emkj73wvf5h5tcqypgdjn7zmpvqc6ptqud9gtutrcc6yq9s2z96h9dr80hss4wl9qwkxy23axc.

So imagine you had a fedi-mint with 1,000 well known custodians, and at least 333 had to go bad in order to rug you. How comfortable are you?

Comparison of some hardware devices used for Ham Radio Digital Modes

https://void.cat/d/4Rvq38apHRKqgyVQqVgRcA.webp

As I'm often having to choose how to use what digital mode on different radios that I have, it has meant also trying to understand which device works with which radio, and what modes it will support (not to mention radio functionality).

It has taken me a while to try to understand some of the differences, as there is no one device that just does everything. So this linked webpage is my attempt to clarify this for myself. I'd be happy to also get input from others so that I can improve or correct it.

For anyone else trying to decide which device they should buy first (or do they even need one?), this webpage will hopefully help to quickly clarify things a bit.

For now, I have just added details for the SignaLink USB, Mobilinkd TNC, and the DigiRig, as these were the options I'd been actively looking at.

This is fantastic. Thank you.

Yes. Or even more fundamentally a function call within that binary where you send an #ecash parameter.
