That's exactly the reason why I was browsing to this repo. I think, nostr:nprofile1qqsgydql3q4ka27d9wnlrmus4tvkrnc8ftc4h8h5fgyln54gl0a7dgspz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7qg4waehxw309aex2mrp0yhxgctdw4eju6t09uq32amnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwv3sk6atn9e5k7tc45s480 will at some point pay the bounty but to a project that ultimately will not make a dent.

Some teams started cloning GitHub but with relays as backend.

Jack to my knowledge never defined what he would consider a valid solution and that's why I think that these GitHub clones might end up getting the bounty.

I think the main component of a real solution should revolve around discoverability and cross instance merge requests. For example, when reviewing Android wallets I usually search for the appId on GitHub and conclude it must be closed source if I can't find it there. This heuristic is right 99.9% of the time. If the solution doesn't cover finding stuff on GitHub I don't think it will be able to break the network effect. On the other hand, storing commits on relays doesn't fix any problem but probably generate a dozen new problems. Git is very well understood as a server for commits and mirroring is common. There is no benefit in using relays for this kind of data.

Where I see nostr being interesting is for:

* logins: use your pubkey across instances

* events that store where to find stuff: records of repository clones for example

* code reviews: imagine a GitHub PR and a code review on nostr. With the right browser extension you could import that code review into your GitHub project or open it on a mirror that has better support for interactions with the code review. The latter would allow to mention the reviewer on nostr etc.

* merge requests from other instances: Git already allows me to clone open source projects from GitHub into my Gitea or GitLab instance. If I could open an MR towards a GitHub repo I could link to that in the issue that is fixed by my MR for example. Again, a contributor could use his browser extension to import the MR which could mirror my git branch into their repo and open the MR under the member's name.

Which open source project has the most open issues? Is there any project with more than 50930 open issues?

As developed nations continue to enter sovereign debt crises akin to the 1940s, there are a few main outcomes.

Option 1) In a world without bitcoin, or if bitcoin fails, central banks and their governments recapitalize themselves with gold, devalue the people, and do another cycle of this inflationary policy for the next few generations. The Treasury/Fed handbook literally has a written option for this, although it is stated more opaquely. It can be done in the US (and probably many other countries) based on current laws if shit hits the fan. Denmark's central bank and China's economic ministers have also written similar things regarding extreme outcomes. It's pretty straightforward based on the past.

Option 2) We go into a centralized technocratic future. Centralized AI and CBDCs win. People have cuck money that the AI+government control. It's like Brave New World, 1984, take your pick. Hard to say, but not free.

Option 3) Open source money wins. Bitcoin and its ecosystem win. Governments get defunded from their fiat printers, and have to be more honest with their ledgers or default and get reconstructed since they can't print what their people hold as savings, or in the hegemon's case, can't print what the world holds. Probably a world of chaos for a time during the transition, but also an opportunity for peace and building the next era. Keeping track of the nukes would probably be a big deal, like when the Soviet Union fell. It's actually kind of remarkable that they collapsed economically and politically but in an orderly enough way to keep track of and secure most of the nukes.

I don't know which one will win, but I consider Option 3 to be the honorable method; the path of transparency. That's the one I am rooting for and building for.

If I fail, I would like it written that it's the method I tried for, but realistically the AI+government will probably delete most of the records of all of the failures anyway, since that is how history works, without any sort of objective truth keeper. Our best hope is to hide records in a distributed way and hope they can remain undisturbed for a while. At least bitcoiners have a tendency to write stuff in steel and make low time preference things. Some psychopath will hopefully carve a life work in steel in a cave or something, but who knows, lol.

And ironically, if Option 3 wins, any of the losing factions could still insert their ideas and paths into the Bitcoin blockchain, now or in the future. It's the most immutable database that we know how to build, and would preserve their ideas as it does our ideas. Like, you know what? I *want* the Communist Manifesto to be in the immutable Bitcoin blockchain, because I want people in the future to know how *bad* it is. It might already be in there; I don't know. I wouldn't want people centuries from now to think about those ideas and believe they came up with something new; I want to preserve my enemies' texts because I believe I can win through markets, force, virtue, and truth.

I think that's almost always what determines the winning side. Losers want to burn their enemies' texts to ensure that their good ideas don't spread too much. Winners want to preserve their enemies' texts to ensure that their bad ideas are never repeated.

> secure most of the nukes

Thanks. One more thing to worry about. 🤣

Did we slay the bear whale?

Are Ordinals winding down? I don't know much about them but looking into recent heavy transactions with low fee rate (1-2sat/vB), I noticed this pattern.

I reply more than ever. Changed my name to "Join Nostr" ;)

Might it be Elon opening the flood gates on bots so he can sell us all some blue checks while burying the rest under a pile of bots?

Half my follows I found thanks to nostr:npub1xhe9408d5hm3dpwax78sy9nuc5warycnvcy4r3qzv6jacwu26r6s5m56yf 's https://nostr.directory

Xitter pulled the rug on this great open source project like on so many others but we can fix it!

Open source developers work on what is needed and I think, this tool is desperately needed for new nostriches to find the people they already know and trust, so they can follow them here, too. Therefore I want to give nostr:npub1xhe9408d5hm3dpwax78sy9nuc5warycnvcy4r3qzv6jacwu26r6s5m56yf a shout-out and will match up to 400k sat all zaps to his recent note nostr:nevent1qqsyvwzjzpax0tpkhsywg9pky3cgefsv6zuquyf8dl89fgfptrhkt5spz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsygp47fdtemd97utgthfh3uppvlx9rhgexymxp9gugqnx5hwrhzks75psgqqqqqqseedayn

Zap, follow him and check out his work.

Fair point. But reporting issues is also lacking. I like to believe I'm already helping a lot with the issues I open all the time. If you don't have the bandwidth to fix issues, at least report them consciously.

"followers" is such a poor metric on nostr as accounts are for free. You can literally generate a million followers in one second.

That said, it's also a poor metric on Xitter for the same reason.

Would people pay for a micro service that gives them a million followers? 🤔

I love to see this screen but it's buggy itself (opens twice I think) and too technical for the normal user. And in this case it reveals an issue I also ran into - relays that normally work are not working.

I just realized ... Lagarde sounds an awful lot like lagartija which is Spanish for "lizard".

Under which concept is attacking Silk Road punishable with one year in prison while operating it is punishable with life in prison?

The article did not go into funds taken from him. Did they take his Casascius coins? His gold?
