If humans manage to digitize themselves and live on a network in which their essence has no single point of failure, will they finally be able to achieve freedom from government since there won't be a monopoly on violence?

ANYONE CAN STORE, DISTRIBUTE, AND VERIFY NOTES IS SIMPLY A BETTER MODEL THAN ONLY ELON CAN STORE, DISTRIBUTE, AND VERIFY POSTS.

EVEN IF NO IMPROVEMENTS ARE MADE NOSTR SCALES BETTER THAN X.

The only thing I miss about Twitter was my favorite way to make morons and lunatics quietly go away:

Block them, and then immediately unblock them.

This would make them unfollow you without them knowing. So they wouldn’t see your content anymore. It was a wonderful tool.

Maybe it’s just me but i am getting spammed bad in my notifications. They would have to do this specifically to me due to ip ratelimits on the servers i use.

[Sets VPN to Brazil]

Twitter: doesn’t load

#Nostr: works the same as always

I actually did this to keep myself off of Twitter and to give more Brazil VPN traffic for their govt to sort through, but it also just kinda hit me how important of a difference that single thing implies.

I also realize that Nostr could be even better, more resilient, and more censorship resistant. I think it will be, and I hope to have something one day to meaningfully contribute to that.

Today I learned that the new Surat Diamond Bourse in India is the biggest office building in the world in terms of square meters of floor space.

Until this was built in 2023, the Pentagon was the world’s biggest office building. More floor space than any skyscraper. Now this one is bigger.

But my first thought is, “why the hell does a diamond exchange have to be so big!?” Like, I can’t imagine what they need so much space for.

Carmel by the Sea is pretty epic.

Denver is a shithole tooavoid every city

Just had a FANTASTIC experience with LND support.

I’ve had funds in limbo for a month after several #lightning force closures. 🫨🫣

I tried resyncing blockchain, resyncing wallet, rebroadcasting transactions but nothing was working.

I got in touch with LND support on telegram and within 90 minutes we worked through the problem and all my funds were safu.

Thanks so much to the amazing and helpful #bitcoin community! 🧡

NOSTR HAS BEEN MY ONLY SOCIAL MEDIA FOR A YEAR NOW AND IT IS FUCKING AWESOME.

WE HAVE MADE INSANE PROGRESS. ONWARD.
