Around 800 million people worldwide make less than $10 a month.

I earn about 10k sats a day through zaps.

Just wait till the world catches on, Nostr could lift so many out of poverty and oppression, keep building.

Volla Phones ship de-Googled on MediaTek hardware with a firewall, tracker blocklists, and per-app network controls, all fine for escaping the surveillance apparatus of Mountain View. But let's not confuse privacy theater with actual security. MediaTek chipsets lack proper verified boot with rollback protection, the closed firmware blob situation is a mess, and Volla's "at least two years" of patches is a gentleman's promise on an unreliable short timeline. The Holochain "distributed cloud" they trumpet is more whitepaper than reality.

GrapheneOS, by contrast, actually hardens the system: hardened kernel, hardened_malloc, memory tagging, exploit mitigations throughout. It ships on Pixel hardware with a real secure element chip and seven years of same-day updates. Volla occupies the same tier as LineageOS and /e/OS, adequate for those who simply wish to stop feeding Google's data, but offering no serious resistance to a determined adversary.

In February 2014, Apple removed the last Bitcoin wallet from its App Store without explanation. A decade later, the freedom technology community has built an answer: a complete mobile stack where no corporation can decide what you install, who you talk to, or how you manage your identity.

Bisq, vexl, robosats, friends.

Recognition of the problem is the first step.

The rest is comparatively easy.

Was wenn nur eine verschimmelte Zwiebel in seinem Schädel drin ist?

Not so long ago, most comments I got under my posts were from people I already followed.

Now it seems to be the opposite.

Nostr is growing.

We should finally fix key rotation in Nostr.

I think this approach makes a lot of sense.

Let me know! nostr:naddr1qqgrydtrvyekywfev56nvdfjxsux2q3qklkk3vrzme455yh9rl2jshq7rc8dpegj3ndf82c3ks2sk40dxt7qxpqqqp65w2k68hy

Starting today

Nostr only 💜
