rolling Seneca moral letters to Lucilius feel like I'm learning how to live

so italianish, so little italian😂

el flipperino

really "closing"? No strange web keep-connection-active browser spyware going on?

nothing, I followed exactly the same pattern when tried coinos 😂

when I tested coinos address failed cause you need to keep opened the webpage to be ebale to receive, so not so great for nostr, is intended as POS in meatspace mostly

like stoics would say, winning without merits dont last much.

I want you to work hard and be disciplined reaching your goal: this will be the real winning, and is all sbout you.

noted damus relay down some minutes ago, maybe related

how does it scales? Like how many notes/vbyte we can timestamp?

note long enough, prior the ice ages probably our ancestors were eating like chimps

the smart-client/stupid-relay and the autentication of notes with keys is a new approach that has never been tried, different from other attempts like mastodon, activitypub.... I think it has a lot of potential. Momentum and convergence of developments makes the rest.

S.O.S. !!!!

Has someone experienced appendicites??? I think I can have something like that now, I want to see if my symptoms could be related. In particular I have a strange abdominal pain when I press with my fingers just 2 cm up the belly button (umbilicus.. IDK whats the correct term in english).

The pain is similar to what I experience when I hurt something and then I have a bruise/livid. But I didnt hurt nothing with my umbilicus.

"optionally show username in feeds"? I'm in 🫡

absolutely yes, theres no illegal substances hidden in the shampoo and toothpaste recipients, they are legit shampoo and toothpaste and I daily use it 🫡

idk, if someone want to try this route having a mint is irrelevant.

WoT filtering I mean this

I like the idea, and incentivize use cases for relay-based and more generalli WoT filtering.

do you mean reply with multiple notes that seems to be just one note in the UI, or literally reply to multiple threads with "one single note"?

I know

This note is a thinkering about full-reserve banks and scalability

#ecash is a "how to do a better bank" protocol, in case of #cashu is based on bitcoin.

Banks are not necessarly bad, especially when it is a not-enforced opt-in service that one can choose (as for all things, drugs=bad, choosing-drugs-if-is-the-fuck-you-want=good).

Now the sauce, the unpopular opinion:

<< Large-scale fractional-reserve banking is bad, especially if we want to defeat a central authority that can repay printing money in case of bankrupts.

Little-scale fractional-reserve banking is mostly neutral, nor bad nor good. >>

Now take the uncle Jim cashu mint as example: he runs a mint for ~50 people, he started with his close relatives and now other friends has started trusting him with their money to have a reliable cashu-based near-zero-fees "homebanking" service. They didnt give in his hands all their wealth, just some portions of it.

Some local stores in the city are now familiar with uncle jim mint and they "dont swap immediately the all the jim-sats after being paid"; they put some trust in Jim, they store some so they dont pay lightning fees for swappin, and instead they spend directly the jim minted sats in other stores.

This is a mental experiment for a small scale bank; in the city there are a lot of uncle jim and a lot of analogous situations, some bigger, some smaller, some trusty, some evidently recognized as scammy.

Why, in this case, Jim doing fractional reserve is neutral?

Because Jim is involved in the community, he has skin in the game, he has great advantage in being a good person. He will beaten and his family will be upset (and, theirself, at risk) if he start act malicious.

He can literally phone to most of his user in one day and just propose if its ok for them if he use some bitcoin to buy a new server, he will have the money after a month. There could be no problem with fractional reserve, is a neutral option.

Its one of the multiple ways Jim could act maliciously, but in a small scale it would easily catched; on a small scale it becomes pretty indistinguishible from a bankrun.

In conclusion, I think cashu wouldnt benefit much from solutions to give users "imperfect proofs of full reserve"; it will greatly benefit, instead, in a focus and optimizations of the protocol to make easier to have networks of little mints instead of remote-managed big ones.

In case the old Jim will fool me I will keep for myself his robot lawnmower he lent me, thats no problem.
