What am I missing on my car's dashboard?

Todo los Pacos quejándose de que Amadeo Llados es un estafador pero ningún imbecil se queja de que el estado es un estafador.

Si le pagas al tal Llados no es de forma coercitiva, es de forma voluntaria y en cualquier momento puedes dejar de hacerlo, no ocurre lo mismo con los impuestos.

I’m glad that my legacy is that I wrote a whole ass book about money.

Money is broken, so we need a whole ass 500 page book to explain why.

HODLing and using Bitcoin can be a strange path to follow. At first, you want to try and 'save people'.

Then after a while, you realise you can't save them because lots of people don't want to be saved.

Help the people who are willing to listen, and be patient about it.

Most websites have Google Analytics installed to help track their details.

I used to do this. It expired on my website some years ago, so I fixed it.

It then expired again. Always updating their tech. I was too busy to give a fuck that second time, so I still haven’t fixed it. My followers don’t care about Google anymore. And we’re not based on advertisers.

I don’t track numbers on my website anymore. I just post based on vibes. I write what I want to and I observe the feedback on any medium that people provide it. And now there’s Nostr.

So I go on vibes. Not numbers.

Nostr is pretty far along and already well committed to the whole "every user is not a relay" paradigm. Which is fine, it's probably "decentralized enough". One of the key pressure points coming up is going to be the cost of hosting media for relays and the tendency for relays to centralize a bit as the average relay hosting cost increases due to increased users and particularly increased media. If we integrate a P2P way to store and to distribute media now, we can avoid much of that.

For example, we have a NIP for associating a pubkey with a LNURL (lightning address). We can also have a NIP for defining a link to an "external media" which is downloaded via Freenet, Hyphanet, IPFS, etc. Let the client do the work of downloading and re-sharing media content while the relays are responsible for text and links to media. At least for Freenet, you talk to it via your web browser via a localhost port. So a nostr client can easily make links to, upload, and download through it without ever needing to leave the browser. The only thing that needs to be true for that to work is for the user to run the freenet client in the background. Unfortunately, they don't have a client for Android or iPhone, but proxy services (like currently used for media) can help with that. IPFS may be another route, I am less familiar with it.

If you're doing nostr dev, this could be something that I think would be on the easier side to implement. I'd gladly contribute to a bounties for it, this is something I'm passionate about.

If we assume x number of events per day on the network, the more relays, the fewer events each relay needs to store. Text events are tiny, you can fit all of wikipedia's text on a DVD. If we integrate with other P2P networks like #IPFS, #Freenet, #Hyphanet, etc for storage of media, then space isn't much of a concern. Tor isn't needed, NAT punching protocols exist and are mature, plus IPv6.

Think of it this way: Can your phone store all the text from all your social media posts? What about all of your 10 closest friends? Yes? Then this can scale.

But you don't need to take my word for it, look at existing P2P technologies which have been doing this kind of routing for years. There's no need to centralize around relays.

People complain that "not everybody will run a relay", well, why is that? Because the architecture of the network and the UX of the software doesn't automatically do it for them. Why is running a relay not automatic when running a client? It could be. Every client could be a relay.
