I just don’t know if it’s going to happen man. Images seem like the logistical and legal hurdle to overcome first before audio.

Do any relays support uploads of media (regardless of serving protocol) yet?

I will say this. I admire your confidence. lol.

Met a friend of a friend who used to work at Santander and recently started a new role at a money remitter.

It’s a company similar to Western Union.

By the Main course I’d gone off on one about how these companies are parasites preying on the poor and that KYC/AML is borderline evil.

Yeah… how not to make new friends 🤦‍♂️

Anyway, he was genuinely curious why I thought that way.

Really decent bloke coz in hindsight I was being rather insensitive.

He naively said that at banks and these remittances companies, we have AML to stop terrorists. And it works!

I was like, hmm. How deep do I go on this.

His job pays him to think that the incumbent system is good at stopping terrorism and stopping the bad guys.

He hasn’t realised that he kind of is the bad guys. But it’s certainly not on me to tell him that!

naturally he has no idea that KYC/AML is a retardio system that affects the poor and the misfortunate the most and it does sweet f*ck all to stop terrorism.

I gave the example of Peruvians not being able to get bank accounts, Ghanaians then Cape Verdeans cut off from banking before the conversation moved on. Oh and how stupidly expensive it is to send money across borders coz of companies like his. (Oops)

I showed him how to send bitcoin and we talked about how last year, my immediate friend got a bottle of wine paid in btc and it’s now 2x.

I sent him my latest peru video and *I think* I managed to save my first impression.

Anyway, I took two things from this.

a) calm down your arrogant muppet.

we’re in a bizarre bubble in that we’re a bit obsessed with how messed up money is. But some people we literally paid to look the other way. And so, they think their system is helping people. It’s not their fault.

Don’t put your foot in it like me.

Be a bit more understanding. oops.

B) people need a few more triggers and they will eventually get it.

This guy is either really nice or he is on his way to getting it.

TIL someone thinks that AML and KYC actually stop net 0 money laundering and terrorism within its jurisdiction.

Like, that’s minds blowing to me.

Single point of failure.

I’ve noticed that mute doesn’t seem to work in Damus as well when in recent notes. I think I’ve seen it mentioned before but I’m unsure if that got traction to be looked into.

Will do!

I keep trying to get back to this but it’s not just going to happen. I’m just not going to get to spending the time on it or make an account somewhere to do it.

The dev can do what they want with the info or ask a question.

Take care.

Except for the reason they are banned. But we can pretend there wasn’t one, if that helps people.

*rose tints off*

Disjointed inflexibility.

Jokes aside though - “we’re early” and it will get better.

Probably worth looking here if you haven’t yet.

I just realized you may have meant a list of relay software which would be here along with a lot of other stuff.

http://nostr.net

I know this is late but you probably found https://nostr.watch/relays/find

You can check the website GUI for relay details or via API

This URL will return all relays that support nip #5.

I wish you weren’t right but I just got a BSOD 5min ago totally unrelated to the CrowdStrike. Looks like a GPU driver issue after Win11 upgrade.

At least it’s easy to know why Windows is broken but it’s like a house of cards.
