They might not know who you as an individual poster are, if you practise good op-sec, but they certainly know which relays you are using.

Relay’s have an IP address that can be traced back to your home address or hosting provider (in the cloud) address.

That is either a company (like voltage, AWS) or a household address.

I’m aware that next to Core Lightning and LND there are two other Lightning implementations: Éclair from ACINQ, and LDK from Square Crypto, but their market share is very small.

My understanding is that “the code” for BOLT12 has already been written.

The true problem is that @lightninglabs is obstinately blocking all merge requests in favour of other projects (like TARO) that they want to implement and monetize.

The Lightning ecosystem is unhealthy dependent on LND, which is weird because we have one other working Lighting implementation, namely Core Lighting.

The whole ecosystem is held hostage by LND and their >80% marketshare. If they had like 25% and there were more players, then sure, we would already have BOLT12 today.

To prevent DCMA’s or takedown requests from governments and copyrights organisations it’s imperative that #nostr relay’s are also (or ONLY) discoverable on @TO, @I2P, @Indra or other yet to be invented dark-web protocols.

What if you post a lot of obnoxious stuff and one after the other relay just blocks you because they get tired the DCMA or other type of takedown request?

Govenrments can still ban/block/prevent you from posting this way 🤔

What if a very popular person only chooses to relay messages via 1 relay, that happens to be a paid relay? Only paying “subscribers” can now read his messages, right?

OR, do relays also talk to each other 🤔 and pass on relayed messages?

Even so, those relays would still all have to pay to this one payed relay that has the original messages.

It’s not shadow banning, but an exclusion system to keep the non-paying plebs out.

I haven't had a TV in my house since 2006.

But I do have a projector that I install every now and then for a fun evening with friends watching an old episode of Columbo or a movie or whatnot 😊

This is the way.

Is there a good place to buy reasonably priced bitcoin stickers packs??

Your options please 😊 👇

I’m very bullish on the bitcoin Chaimian #ecash wallet https://wallet.nutstash.app 😃

With both studies that show an effect and studies that show zero effect I ask the exact same questions:

1. Was the study done sufficiently?

2. Who paid for the study?

3. Did they pay for the study before seeing the results? Or did they buy a study that “proved” their point of view?

If any of these questions are not clearly answered that the study itself can be disregarded in my view 🤔

Just imagine that you are a cat... And allergic to humans 😱

How does this open chat work? It works very sleek I noticed 😃

It’s not p2p audio is it?

The whole ecosystem is being held hostage by LND. Until they implement bolt12 the others can't switch on their implementations either. Too bad too many noobs are running Raspi or Umbrel with LND 😢

Login does not work for me. Not in Safari, not in Chrome and not in Firefox. 😢

You misse me 😢

Thanx for sharing. I gave all these baddies a follow 😃

I've been using Yandex once in A while.

Their image search is much better than Google’s nowadays.
