My #bitcoin channel (not a group chat!) on WhatsApp.
All about Bitcoin. I post once or twice per day.
I don’t think @dotkruger is on #nostr (yet) ?
But his latest interview with Bob Burnett is a great intro into mining and the possibility of a nation state or even an orchestrated coordination of nation states to attack bitcoin by switching mining capacity at the network’s most vulnerable moment in time: the block just before the difficulty adjustment.
The network expects more capacity so the difficulty has just I creased. Now we switch a lot of hash rate off. Now the network grinds to a block per day instead of block per 10 minutes 🤯
This means the next difficulty adjustment isn’t in two weeks in 4 years 😱
This is a serious attack vector.
Next time you cheer for another big mining project coming online in the USA 🇺🇸, ask yourself: is this really making the network safer in the long run?
Probably that hash rate should have been deployed in a not-friendly jurisdiction instead of centralised in the USA.
After longing out and logging back in, there is a + button now 👍
Very strange. Will test again now 🤔 👍
It would be great if there was an explainer somewhere about what a Lud6 and/or Lud16 are 🤔
nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg maybe in the next version 😊 ?
The fact that nostr:npub18m76awca3y37hkvuneavuw6pjj4525fw90necxmadrvjg0sdy6qsngq955 doesn’t show a button to post anything to a newly registered user is like the worst UX ever, no?
This is what confused me a year ago or so when I tried to use it for the first time. 🤔
Hey nostr:npub18ams6ewn5aj2n3wt2qawzglx9mr4nzksxhvrdc4gzrecw7n5tvjqctp424
I loved listening to your recent interview in the Ben Wehrman podcast 😃
The fact that many relais can and do relay messages from censored individuals made me think 🤔
Could we access the stuff that’s behind the Great Firewall of China by asking them to run nodes on TOR, I2P and IPFS and having clients on our end that know how to receive these notes?
Or maybe TOR is enough for communication between relais but not needed for the “last mile” between a node and a client?
Seeing the direction that “free democracies” are moving, wouldn’t it be prudent to build this stuff now before we desperately need it? 🤔
Just some thoughts 😅
Cheers 🍻

A premium feature of a Nostr client could be the ability to repost your own notes some hours later.
Time zones affect who gets to see posts and resharing (automatically) means content shared in Europe or Africa will be visible in America, and that if Americans will be visible some hours later in Asia 😃
I stole this idea from nostr:npub18ams6ewn5aj2n3wt2qawzglx9mr4nzksxhvrdc4gzrecw7n5tvjqctp424 😇

Machine Learning could be used to filter NSFW images on device in any Nostr client app that would wish to integrate such functionality 😊 👍
Nuzzel.com was an app and a service and was bought by @jack or at least by Twitter and stopped working soon afterwards.
God I loved Nuzzel. It would give me a short list of all the stuff that the people I follow where liking and/or resharing.
It was like the highlights of that day, in one handy list.
Could somebody please build a similar thing but in Nostr 😅 🙏

I’m wondering when I comment on a podcast, is that in fact not a Nostr message that I’m posting?
And if so, is there a way (outside of fountain itself) to view these messages?
Or are they more like centrally registered Lightning texts? Like the app Sphix Chat used to use. Or still does? 🤔
Apple App Store in EU showing #1, #3 and #5 #Bitcoin and/or #Crypto related apps 😃
Bull market incoming 🐂?
This is how you request a timestamp for any post.
Timestamping puts a reference to the post on the Bitcoin blockchain and can be used to show the post existed at least since that timestamp. Because it uses the blockchain, it stays with Pending status until miners add it to a block and 6+ confirmations pass.

I am using nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg , which client is this 😃 ?
The world is running on autopilot
But we seem to be heading for a polycrisis.
Hear me out.
“Community notes” like on twitter, but on Nostr 😃
When somebody is obviously wrong the community note that is visible to all, even those that don’t follow the person who wrote the note, can review it and vote on its accuracy 🤔
I’ve seen many times now that these notes aren’t abused or toxic but help keep popular messages honest.
Maybe this is worthy of its own NIP?
