The term Cantillionair had slipped my mind ...
**Four times** did we try again to build Scamourai. Emanuel did. Others did. At some point it's ok to just call a liar a liar. Get some reputable engineer to support your claims. I'm not wasting my time before that.
As for the scam allegations: You refer to a token sale that I was not aware of literally until the day its website went live. For me it was something other parts of the company were doing and I was assured that a good legal team was on top of all my concerns that I did not hold back with internally. If you have issues, talk with Alexander Kuzmin.
I have no knowledge of amounts. I never promoted the tokens and never took tokens that I was offered. I do not work with Mycelium since about two years now. I have no knowledge of charges being pressed against Mycelium. Given that Mycelium is still on both Play- and Appstore makes me assume there was no successful charges so ... at what point will you stop calling me a scammer every time I call out Scamourai?
All your allegations are addressed in https://walletscrutiny.com/android/com.samourai.wallet/ too.
While many in Bitcoin get a kick out of the Whitepaper being on every Mac for years without being noticed, how likely is it it was put there by some random engineer who simply could do this? How likely is it there are not a dozen wallet stealing snippets by other engineers?
Do **not** trust Samourai! In the best case, they are just incompetent. In the worst, it's a honey pot that will rug pull you!

> And lo, there came a day when the flightless bird did stride, with wings outstretched and feathers wide. Its gait was swift and graceful, like the wind that blows across the dunes of the desert.

> Yet though the ostrich did run with speed and strength, it was also known to wander far and wide. Its path was crooked, meandering like a stream that flows without direction.

Nostr profiles should reference a canary event ID. If that event is ever found, the account was compromised.
So ... when creating an account, clients could allow you to author but not publish a revocation kind-1 message and store the event ID in the profile. Other clients would never (quickly) delete replaced such canary event IDs, so if ever such an event is found, the account could be marked as compromised.
Now, if I suspect my key was exposed to hackers, I can publish that event.
Even if not supported explicitly, clients could implicitly know what's going on from whatever the message contains as it can explain the whole concept.
These are just events recorded back in the time when I was working on that library, dumped into files. It's not a canonical set of test vectors but it helped me find many issues with my lib.
I wasn't suggesting that there was no room for improvement. My argument was more that even if it took as long as it took for Jack and even if you would not improve the performance, some people would pay for the CPU time. At Digitalocean they charge 7ct/h for 4vCPU/8GB. That's 3ct per query.
That's expensive! How much are 24 CPU minutes on the instance you are using? Charge it in sats and people would still want it.
https://nostr.info/resources/ lists projects and maintainers but I stopped working on it as it should be turned into a nostr-backed thing. Not quite sure how yet due to the desire to prevent spam and not be in charge of the content.
Who qualifies for an ID?
Lionel Shriver's *[The Mandibles: A Family, 2029-2047](https://www.amazon.com/Mandibles-Family-2029-2047-Lionel-Shriver/dp/006232828X)* is an engaging novel that captures the imagination of anyone interested in the future of money, particularly those who are participating in the Bitcoin revolution. Set in an even *more* dystopian near-future America, the story follows the upper-middle class Mandible family as they navigate the consequences of a devastating economic collapse that leads to the disintegration of the once-mighty USD.
Shriver's vivid portrayal of a world thrown into chaos by the collapse of the dollar serves as a potent reminder of the potential vulnerabilities inherent in traditional financial systems...and in the illusion of wealth that those systems promote. In the novel, the Bancor, a new global currency, emerges as a response to this financial catastrophe. This narrative thread is especially thought-provoking for Bitcoin users.
The author's keen insights into the societal, political, and economic ramifications of the dollar's demise make *The Mandibles* an essential read for anyone who follows current financial news. Shriver's exploration of a near-future where the world's biggest centralized currencies have lost their footing echoes the current discussions about the banking situation in the United States and abroad.
As the story unfolds, the characters must adapt to a new reality where traditional financial structures no longer hold sway. This aspect of the novel resonates deeply with the principles that underpin the Bitcoin movement, reinforcing the importance of reimagining our financial and political systems and embracing innovative alternatives.
The book's characters are well crafted, each embodying unique reactions to the new economic reality they face. Among them, a once-affluent social worker, a self-absorbed academic, an unemployed tenant, a well-known writer returning from living abroad, and a psychotherapist, all struggle to adapt to the collapse of the dollar. However, it is Willing, a perceptive and resourceful teenager, who stands out as the character with whom most of us will identify. Willing's skepticism of traditional financial systems, coupled with his quick thinking and adaptability, make him an embodiment of the innovative spirit that drives the Bitcoin movement. I, personally enjoyed watching him [MacGyver](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacGyver_(2016_TV_series)) his way through challenges that the adults around him simply couldn't grasp in time.
Enola, affectionately known as Nolly, is my second-favorite character (and probably will be yours). Nolly embodies a unique combination of seasoned pragmatism and unwavering moral integrity. Her presence in the novel as another outlier in the family adds nuance to the narrative.
Nolly's experiences and insights offer a compelling contrast to those of the other characters, including Willing. Her role in the story not only lends emotional weight but also serves as a powerful reminder of the resilience and adaptability needed to survive and flourish in a world gone completely pear-shaped.
It's a shame that I hadn't even heard of this book until quite recently. It's interesting how much has happened since 2016 when the book was published. I highly recommend *The Mandibles* to anyone imagining what the world might be like when the USS Petrodollar finally sinks.

Rough and tumble play.
* Rats deprived of this turn hyper aggressive
* Venomous snakes wrestle much like many other species - trying to get the opponent's head to the ground, without biting
* Many mass murderers have one thing in common - lack of rough play

It blows my mind how much of the internet's content would actually fit nicely into nostr relays to be interpreted by a multitude of clients that to the normal user would look like just another website but turbo-boosted by tapping into the nostr ecosystem.
This

can read "NWO".
How about **No**str **Wo**rld shorted to NOWO but with the W with two overlapping V so it reads a bit like NOVO - NEW?
I want to **run a relay** financed by a tiny percentage of its users and strongly believe
in the following being a way to align incentives for all clients and relay operators:
For this bounty, the minimum requirement for the resulting relay is:
* relay is as efficient or better than [strfry](https://github.com/hoytech/strfry) at supported nips, synchronization between instances and handling concurrent connections
* nip42 support
* all read and write operations are metered per connected pubkey: milliseconds spent on queries, query count, events sent, event kBs sent, etc. (If Alice pushes Bob's events, it gets tallied to her pubkey - the one authenticated via nip42)
* allow managing group of primary (TIER 0 or T0) users via API
* secondary users are those followed by T0 users etc.
* define limits depending on follows distance to primary users, using five tiers: 0 = primary users, 1 = follows, 2 = follows of follows, 3 = follows of follows of follows, inf = all the other pubkeys
* allow configuring hourly, daily and monthly limits per tier and metered aspect.
**This bounty was created with the goal of actually running a relay with this feature and will not be awarded for a proof of concept that is not a fully functional and performant relay. Strfry is "good enough". If you want to implement the proposed feature in a different relay, please reach out to discuss first.**
