I think revocation is needed, and more thinking on the spec

Repudiation is desirable (I believe SimpleX is actively working on it) ofc.

But the lack of it does take away the advantages of message timers in 99% of cases. It's a passive defense for when you are not being actively targeted.

Yes, if chatting with a fed and confessing a crime, it won't save you.

Absolutely correct, good job pointing it out.

What we need here is some form of repudiation of notes, so that you can later say "I never wrote that". It's effectively deletion.

One way is that you can limit the time your notes/posts are valid. Each note will be signed by a temporary key that's valid for, say, a week. The temporary key in turn will be signed by your permanent key which is your identity.

After a week you publish the secret key to your temporary key. This will dissociate any note you signed with the temporary key from your identity because now everyone could have written and signed it.

Then you generate a new temporary key for the next week. I would expect relays to purge expired notes on a regular basis because what's the point of a note without an associated identity.

If you want your notes to be valid for longer than a week you'll have to re-sign them each week with the current temp key. There can be good UX and automation to make this easy.

Good morning!

Evidently central banks do not print money, inflation is a thing of our imagination.

Running cryptographic functions on an esp32 is anything but fast. I'm trying to squeeze every bit of performance I can get out of this remote signer.

Stocks are fraction of a business, there are assets and cash flows behind them and they have a lawful apparatus around them

pePeElonCoin or whatever shitcoin people print up isn't remotely close to a stock

Transaction fees on Bitcoin is a supply and demand based system, which directly affects the energy put into Bitcoin mining. At 21,000,000 if there is not much demand for transactions, mining will become less profitable.

Will mining ever become less profitable than attacking the network?

Build a nostr relay that works for the next 10 years including nostr's upcoming eternal September.

It will effectively combat spam using a mix of Bayesian filters, AI, IP address reputation, peering agreements with other selectively approved relays, and some secret sauces.

It will offer filters for parental control, community standards and business compliance.

It will respond to law enforcement requests for the removal of illegal and DCMA content.

Algorithms will selectively promote notes for a fun and engaging experience including trending new products, sponsored notes and informative government news.

This will make it the relay of choice for a safe, family & business friendly nostr and the default relay for Microsoft Windows and Apple iOS.

It will do to nostr what Gmail did to email, Facebook did to the web and me very rich.

Fixing block subsidy at 3.125 seems absurd. Good luck with that one.
