Someone should inscribe government leaks as Ordinals so we can put bitcoin’s censorship resistance to the test

It's a great feeling when you spin up CLN and LND on regtest after 6 months using 5 different shells and your channels are still there online and working.

When we add lightning bandwidth incentive to relays, we could even do recorded livestreaming over nostr.

You'd save the stream in chunks that refer to the previous chunk id. You'd update the latest chunk id in a nip33 replaceable event such as '#d': 'streams/[streamName]'.

Obviously all relays don't need to do this bandwidth & storage intensive stuff.

Whoa! You can map caps lock?

I find Brave very shady, not only for their shitcoinery. Didn't they inject their own ads, replacing other ads?

TINA is not a person, it’s an acronym

so bullish on bitcoin it is almost guaranteed we dump

my twitter feed is dominated by screenshots of nostr conversations

I am not confident Tor doesn't allow a Stateless relay to be placed between you and your own Tor relay. For me, the safe way is to hardcode the relay's pubkey in the app to make sure only that key can decode incoming payloads and the relay only take encrypted msg from that key

Http and https definitely not. I am not sure about onion. For https, the only way to avoid gov takeover is to check if the certificate is using the exact keys of the original party. Beyond the usual https checks.

Governments can modify DNS entries as well as the pure IP graph, making a different computer reply in your relays behalf, adding a censorship filter, for instance.

I know. It's not about trusting relays. Its about making sure you are talking to the right relay. If you set up your private party relay, you must take additional protections to make sure you are talking to your machine.

Hum.. It's too easy for governments to intercept any relay and make their server reply as if it was your relay. Maybe relays need to encrypt their comms with an application key as well.

Nostr also needs to somehow finance infrastructure and I'd rather have people sponsor that than to do POW.

I'd rather have 900sat go to you for Astral development than to POW. My client can then consider "Astral 900sat receipts" until you gift them away to spammers.

Mining bitcoin only works with a tiny fraction of all the asics ever produced but those obsolete units might still be good for spamming nostr?

who tf is running nostr asics when they could be running it on bitcoin instead.

Guys, POW in nostr is a dead end!

Yes, I get it, it removes all the spam ... now. But as soon as 5s of ASIC POW can get your spam to millions of users while the equivalent time on a cellphone is 5 weeks, it will be irrelevant.

Ah ok. Thanks! Are the nsec/npub prefixes part of that as well?
