Have you tried the Hellcat? SA nailed it.

I hope so. Still disappointed in the community’s lackluster support for Samourai. It’s really soured me to the “bitcoiner” crowd.

Things I love about #Urbit:

1. Deterministic computing

2. Human-readable and finite DNSDNS names

3. Server-to-server network architecture

4. (The future) possibility of networked apps that will last generations without the need for a dev team to update them

5. Portable VM overlay OS

6. The people 🤝

Things I hate about #Urbit:

1. The tools yo run Urbit. It breaks literally every month on average (I self-host multiple planets and a star on Proxmox VMs, and everything works great except GroundSeg. It's ridiculously unreliable.)

2. No serious Bitcoin/Lightning/Cashu integrations at all. Bitcoin is the only crypto that matters.

3. WAY too much $h!t coin shilling.

4. Completely VC-controlled Arvo core.

5. Based on Ethereum NFTs for the DNS.

6. Fake signal/grifting from many Urbit-affiliated cultural and tech influencers (Blimp, Holium, Milady, UqBar, etc.).

7. "Free planet hosting!" This completely destroyed the community incentives. It was predictable, and I talked about it as often as I could

I have been using Urbit since before OS1. I was sending chat messages through the terminal. I have gone through Hoon school three times. I own a star ( ~lanlyd).

The people using Urbit are brilliant and amazingly talented, but the focus has gotten off somewhere over the past few years, and the ship needs to be set straight.

I'm so happy to see Yarvin returning to #Urbit. He is desperately needed. The project needs to grow up and focus.

I love Urbit as a P2P computing platform and hate Urbit as a VC "crypto" next big opportunity.

I will continue to watch the space intensely, drop into groups now and then, and when Urbit gets its priorities straight, I may continue to contribute to that ecosystem once again.

I recently got a planet from your star. Hope Yarvin sets things straight. P2P internet is needed. Nostr is just a work-around.

Of course. But it won’t become the global reserve if mixing isn’t legal.

Remember all the energy behind space cat just to beat Craig Wright?

Where is all that energy now that actual cypherpunks are in court against US Gov?

#freesamourai

Bitcoin doesn’t become global reserve without privacy.

US, Russia, China, etc. don’t want each other knowing the status of their reserves.

Samourai wins or bitcoin suffers.

But maybe that’s just the US front. Ultimately looks like a Chinese company.

Try it with Foundation Passport

Stoked for Passport Prime. Imagine the possibilities for nostr!

In ancient indo-European languages, “to be” was synonymous with “to grow”. This is not a concept that emerges from the Middle Ages. It emerges from nature itself. Successful being is growth. Success is not defined by people. It’s a natural and objective standard. Success is just the word we’ve assigned to that natural standard.

Lol people are mad at nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a for calling Rolexes shitcoins on twitter.

As a Rolex enjoyer I have to say, they are absolutely shitcoins.

Why isn’t that a Cybertruck?

I think that 18th/19th century colonialism is the best way to achieve world peace and human flourishing.

Is this ok?
