Huge congrats to @obi and team on the launch of Fedi today. Couldn’t be more excited!

In a world where dictators use money and data as a weapon against free speech and individual frights and freedoms, and the surveillance state is emerging everywhere, this freedom and privacy protocol on top of Bitcoin is a critical path to bringing #Bitcoin to billions of people.

Hi, Nostr! I wanted to update you from this new client I'm building, things are going well and the code is developing faster than expected. 🤠

#NostrLayer2

WHY, DON'T YOU LIKE CAPSLOCK?

🙃

is this open source?

RSS feeds are live on nostr sites!

There are millions of people using RSS reader apps to follow their favorite publications. Your nostr-based websites are now serving these people well.

If your friends and family are using RSS readers, this is your chance to have them follow your nostr posts.

Just append /rss/ to home or tag or author page address to get a corresponding feed.

If you're publishing a podcast, the RSS feed of your podcast can now be served by your nostr site.

We are one step closer now in bridging nostr to the existing web ecosystem. Let's go!

Here’s an observation about shitty Twitter algorithms.

I’ve actually never blocked or muted anyone on Twitter. Never felt the need. 690k followers, countless comments, no filters.

If someone is an ass, I tend to just ignore them or akido them and move on.

I just went over to Twitter and checked my notifications. Some guy posted in an unusually negative way in one of my threads. For a brief moment, I was provoked. But then I looked: he has 8,700 posts and 6 followers. Briefly skimming his profile, it is pure negativity. Imagine this. Like actually take a moment to think about what that process feels like for him, let alone how he impacts others.

Posting eight thousand and seven hundred times, mostly negatively, and after well more than a thousand of those posts, someone elects to follow him.

The algorithm trains us to see this and get angry. When he shows up in our feed, he seems like a normal person who disagrees with us. But he’s not normal. Someone like that is literally and sadly more in the mentally ill camp, even as the algorithm presented him to us like any other normal person, saying we suck.

Imagine if we had more programmable filters and algorithms. Like, mute people with over a thousand posts but with less than one follower per five hundred posts. That filters him out, similarly to how we would visually filter out and thus physically avoid a man holding his own shit in his hand in public on a street, who needs help but not public attention and proximity.

The centralized algorithms we have normalized, are not real life.

We give people virtual access that we would not do publicly, partially because we can program our real-life algorithms with various behavior rules that we can’t do on most virtual platforms.

still gonna multisig and lay awake at night thinking about it

You think Mallers snitching on his clients to the authorities is classy? 😂

Pretty sure people can use nostr however they want and zap whoever they want.

HOW SECURE IS YOUR BITCOIN WALLET?

Are you afraid of getting hacked by quantum computers?!

I'm an entrepreneur / cyber security enthusiast risking my entire net-worth and time by building a bitcoin start up, so I had to do the math for myself. Buckle in because it's more secure than you can fathom.

Possible Combinations of BTC wallets per type:

Legacy Address: 25 commas

BIP-39 (12 word): 13 commas

BIP-39 (24 word): 26 commas

Legacy wallets (256-bit private keys):

2^256 = 115,792,089,237,316,195,423,570,985,008,687,907,853,269,984,665,640,564,039,457,584,007,913,129,639,936

(This is approximately 1.16 x 10^77)

BIP-39 12-word seeds:

2048^12 = 5,444,517,870,735,015,415,413,993,718,908,291,383,296

(This is approximately 5.44 x 10^39)

BIP-39 24-word seeds:

2048^24 = 29,642,774,844,752,946,028,434,172,162,224,104,410,437,116,074,403,984,394,101,141,506,025,761,187,823,616

(This is approximately 2.96 x 10^79)

The math above demonstrates that 12 word seed phrases are the least secure of all three wallet types. If there's 200 million bitcoin wallets and 160m of those are using 12 word seeds, this is the odds below of you getting hacked.

Let's say we have a supercomputer that can check 1 trillion (1,000,000,000,000 or 10^12) seed phrases per second. This is far beyond current capabilities but helps illustrate the scale.

We'll assume you're using this computer 24/7 for an entire lifetime. Let's say that's 100 years.

Now, let's do the math:

Seconds in 100 years:

100 years * 365 days * 24 hours * 60 minutes * 60 seconds = 3,153,600,000 seconds

Total number of seed phrases we could check in 100 years:

3,153,600,000 * 1,000,000,000,000 = 3,153,600,000,000,000,000,000 (about 3.15 * 10^21)

Probability of finding the correct seed phrase:

3.15 * 10^21 / 34,028,236,692,093,846,346,337,460,743,176,821 ≈ 9.26 * 10^-14

This means that even after 100 years of continuous checking at this incredible rate, the probability of finding a single valid seed phrase is about 0.0000000000000926 or about 1 in 10 trillion.

To put it another way:

If you had 10 trillion of these supercomputers running for 100 years each, you'd have about a 63% chance of finding one valid seed phrase.

To have a 99.99% chance of finding a valid seed phrase, you'd need to run this process for about 460 billion years - that's about 33 times the current age of the universe.

In conclusion, The number of possible legacy private keys is greater than the estimated number of atoms in the observable universe (which is around 10^80) 🤯🤯🤯

If you've heard this last statement before, they weren't exaggerating.

BITCOIN = HOPE
