bitcoin has "physical" fairness - unflinching, uncompromising, unbreakable, universal. this is perfect for money.

not all fairness should be physical. most other areas of fairness should account for mistake, intent, etc. but for money maybe not

Back in the #fiat #world, I used to #hate #Sundays.

Because I knew what was coming.

Another #week of stolen #time, #wasted #energy, and playing a #game I didn’t believe in.

Now, I #love Sundays.

And I’m already pumped for #Monday.

When you breathe Bitcoin all day, every day, #life hits different.

Guess it’s pretty tricky to sell off meme coins if people donate them to you

Legacy social media is abuzz with the news that Twitter is partnering with Visa to enable peer-to-peer payments. To the inexperienced, Twitter embracing the value for value model could seem like a positive step. However, there's more meat to this story. Twitter has a history of censoring users. Why would anyone want their money to be subject to the same censorship as their communications? Better solutions exist.

sorry but no partnership with visa is peer-to-peer by my understanding of the term

hi, I think so, but tbh I'm not enough of a dev to weigh in on that. I just think these UX patterns are really disruptive. I don't know what web browsing on nostr would look like but I think it should strive to solve these.

I don't think any gov should be able to regulate how clients build their sites and require things like cookies banners. Cookies architecture is something that could be replaced - by what, not sure.

Verification codes could be sent to an npub instead of a phone number. Can't wait for this.

It's annoying when bad UX patterns are adopted by businesses because 1) they're mandated, or 2) they choose to adopt them bc "experts" have recommended. 2 factor verif involving a phone is a good example - imo completely reckless due to sim swap attacks. "Best practice" tho!

It all revolves around separating web from identity: Stop trying to figure out who I am, just let me browse and do business on the web.

thanks for the thoughtful response brother. i am not a UX expert either but i think a lot of this could be handled with secure local key storage/signing. for example, couldn't a signature from your nsec function as a cookie?

this world does require cryptography to become an integral part of each layer in the stack but nostr may the the path toward an internet where the user is in complete control of their identity

I’m a tattoo artist from Denver, CO and I’m looking to share my work with this crowd. I’ve been working digital since 2008 and I primarily design in procreate and photoshop.

Here’s a background study from last week.
