Nostr needs key rotation like Bluesky, where you can rotate your compromised client key using your compromised master key to a new key, all by just clicking buttons that will instruct a compromised cloud server to perform signatures that no one will ever see and that no other user will ever check.

Without that it will remain an absolute joke.

Enjoying an afternoon coffee and I see a spiced cider in my future. Steaks tonight. Wagyu for the GF and her bestie who's over for a visit and rib eye for myself.

Excellent day so far! You?

Test.

Updated my relay lists.

Say hi... 👋

Internet Archive's Wayback Machine is now back after cyberattacks, as read-only

This is after losing the copyright lawsuit against them.

This is why Arweave is so important, to not trust a single company/organization with all of humanity's history.

Just think how corrupt and distorted Wikipedia is? Do you really want them to control your legacy in the history books?

Here's my take-away:

Nostr protects one against the censorship of TODAY.

Arweave protects against the censorship of TOMORROW.

> haha "decentralized" between quotes

And yet it's somehow still more decentralized than Nostr, where users tend to flock to few big relays. I know that Alex is striving to solve this problem, but there's a really long way ahead.

Also there's "nomadic identity" feature in ActivityPub, which is being actively developed. So who knows... I think it's too early for laughs.

FACT: 🟠 This is almost half a million people actually using #Bitcoin 🔥

Friendly reminder 👍

Be honest

Which of these seems like a better pitch to a normie?

a)

When you spend Bitcoin, it creates tiny capital gains taxes, which nobody wants to keep track of. So to avoid this, when you buy Bitcoin on a KYC exchange, you should then mix it with hackers and criminals, which immediately lowers it's value, and can be seized if you deposit it back on the exchange. But this is just to then deposit it into a channel, which you might want to self-host with $500 worth, but it could be a smaller amount with the right non-custodial wallet. Make sure to backup your channels by saving that information, in-case the lightning wallet provider screws you over, which happened with a few US-based ones during the previous crackdowns. Now if the other person is online, you can send them layer 2 coins, which can't be traced. So you can argue to the tax authorities that you spent the original layer 1 Bitcoin when you mixed it with criminal coins. And then they should be will be willing to accept that you owe no tax, even though Bitcoin's price went to the moon. Just ignore the fact that they jailed other people for tax evasion, because those convicted felons didn't do it right. Those other people didn't separate their identity from the activity of the coins, but you're going to master this better than them, despite no experience. Because you can count on me to teach you. Next I'll go over how you can receive coins for your business, and then separate the fluctuating value from that business. Bitcoin is freedom.

b)

Use Monero. There are liquid global peer-to-peer markets with reliable arbitrators, so from the perspective of your bank, you're just paying some random dude. But even if you get it on a KYC exchange in your name, the moment you buy it, it becomes completely untraceable, and so you can say you spent or lost it, and effortlessly pay no tax. It costs 1 penny to send.

i haven’t found anything that isnt a centralized or tokenized shitcoin grift.

anywhere in the bio works, I forgot to edit the LNURL field to be XMR instead (like it works in garnet) but that will be an option this week as well to be "hidden" from the bio
