Mining centralisation is on the following aspects:

Timechain content responsibility and reward distribution.

The chains in the timechain are created by single entities who determines what it contains. In order to manage income and combine hashing power to collaborate in order to get more (regular) profit, miners started to point their hashpower to centralized entities.

In order to collaborate, all the hashers must join forces on the same thing, so in general miners started to follow instructions of a centralized entity in order to get on one line. This however gave much power to the central entity who can essentially command a hashing network to do what the central entity wants. Including what gets inside the chain.

The second thing is coin distribution and it is heavily custodial for a network that is focused on non-custodial ownership. A miner cannot guarantee his ownership over his income unless he uses a special protocol.

Which brings us to the solutions: there is an unscalable but fully decentralized protocol called p2pool and there is an other protocol called stratum v2 which can distribute the responsibility for managing what is inside the chain. Then there are seperate pools that are as transparant as possible and then there are attempts to make the miner income non-custodial.

AltStore PAL Alternative App Marketplace Launches on iPhone in EU

One of the first alternative app marketplaces went live in the European Union today, with developer Riley Testut introducing AltStore PAL, a version of his AltStore that can be accessed in EU countries.

AltStore PAL is an open-source app that is designed to distribute apps from independent developers. At launch, it features two apps, including Testut's Delta game emulator and clipboard manager app Clip. Delta is also being simultaneously released in the App Store outside of the European Union, but it looks like EU customers will need to download it from AltStore.

App Store. The app marketplace is designed to be decentralized with no directory, so developers will need to self-promote their apps and direct users to their websites to install an app through AltStore.

Distributing apps through AltStore is free of charge, but it is worth noting that apps that see more than one million first annual installs will need to pay Apple an 0.50 euro Core Technology Fee. App marketplaces have to pay the fee for every install with no free allowance, so AltStore is charged 0.50 euros each time it is installed. To afford the fee, Testut is charging 1.50 euros per year for AltStore PAL access.

alternative app marketplaces in iOS 17.4. It is open to all apps, but Testut says that it makes the most sense for "smaller, indie apps that otherwise couldn't exist due to ‌App Store‌ rules."

AltStore PAL is equipped with Patreon integration to allow developers to monetize their apps. Developers can offer their apps to just their patrons, and this method of distribution also allows for a sub-1 million cap on those who can subscribe to use an app.

iPhone users in the European Union can download AltStore PAL from the AltStore website. Alternative app marketplaces are not available outside of the European Union.

How to solve the #spam problem on #nostr:

Make it ridicolously easy to identify content (using advanced search, diagrams, graphs etc).

Make it ridicolously easy to perform actions on content (providers).

Make it ridicolously easy to switch from "filter blocked content providers" to "filter accepted content providers"

But beware that regex (the main player when it comes to advanced search operations) might cause kinda risky code execution.

If you cannot truly lose something it cannot have true property rights. Try to change my mind.

Well code cannot have free speech because it does not have free will. It is unpredictable in a sense and code is not.

Also make an auto password scanner so users can have the convenience of not having to fill in their password, as the package installer will do it for you. Plus a secure connection to microsoft so they can scan every single for viruses. And what about a self replicating file to add redundancy? Amazing!!

Is that the one that newpipe uses?
