Oh also on the topic of git/VCS you might find Pijul at-least academically interesting https://pijul.org/manual/introduction.html
IMHO it’s patching model would likely work better for Nostr buuut it’s not very mature and no way people would just switch away from git 😂
Yeah, it’s just a bit of a shame – they were a tad early to notice Nostr and secp is a bit of an esoteric curve
As others have posted there seem to be some NIPs for that, but you could “just” secp256k1 Schnorr sign the binary/hash-of-it with the same private key you use on Nostr as its already associated with your Nostr notes
Yeah saw it was ed25519 — it’s not too late for them to switch to secp256k1 😉
Haha tbf “non-custodial” being the same thing as “self custody” is confusing
If you want to buy $10 for $1,000,000,000 I’ll sell it to you friend
Surely that’s custodial Lightning?
Using Nostr even just for IDs seems sensible, you get the existing Nostr social graph for free
👀 (though it’s not Nostr 🤔)

Hot take: Bitcoiners labelling an informed, consensual contract between adults “a scam” are freedom larpers
It’s a scam when one party is being deceived, otherwise it isn’t. They know they bought a sat for 3,300,000,000 sats
Oh no I kept UI designing.
Thanks nostr:npub1r0rs5q2gk0e3dk3nlc7gnu378ec6cnlenqp8a3cjhyzu6f8k5sgs4sq9ac for the direction, will keep working on this.
If it makes you feel better I like the way this is going! 💯
I like these 200-300 sat/vB fees. And over the next few years I think it’ll be the norm anyway.
Yes, it benefits my miners and mining stocks.
BUT options for lightning, ecash, low case remittance services via things like nostr:npub1ex7mdykw786qxvmtuls208uyxmn0hse95rfwsarvfde5yg6wy7jq6qvyt9 are getting better and better while folks can avoid high fee on chain activity (or pay 0 fee if they aren’t in a rush with many services)
Thoughts? Agree, disagree? #asknostr
Mostly agree; though it's always sad and painful to see people that aren't "in the Bitcoin camp" enough to have got the advice about Lightning and UTXO consolidation hitting pain with on-chain fees and not knowing what to do, feeling lied-to or misled somehow. Good motivation to keep building and be better, though
Yes, but if and only if you already know the merkle tree structure, no? If I’m looking at an old Nostr note and want to find the image it had in it now the original URL is dead, and only have the whole file hash, I wouldn’t know what the merkle root hash is. Pretty easy to solve by having both hashes available, but it is a slightly different problem
That has the issue that the merkle root hash is not the same as the file hash, so how do you then do discovery? (I want this file hash has to be resolved to a merkle root then I also have to download the whole thing before I can verify that that is indeed the file I wanted)
*technically* there’s no reason you couldn’t build BitTorrent on top of blossom, after all .torrent files are files and parts of files are also files 😉
Agree, I’m not a fan of the1001 different shades of dark grey-blue you often get. Inky black and decent contrast is way better
