Autopoietic. Scratching things from chaos. Homesteading the noösphere. Opportunity farmer: Reading things that are not yet on the page. Haskell. Dollars only, thanks.

Those are secp256r1 not k1. What role do they play in Bitcoin?

Where are the details on that exploit?

Can you not? In the relationship between the user and the relay, who is providing a service to whom?

Are nostr users consumers or content providers?

Should YouTube ask users to pay for hosting videos? Turns out that's not how it works, instead YouTube is paying its (contributing) users.

Twitter/X/Elon were also at least contemplating paying users for Tweets.

Remember your relay is useless if it doesn't carry notes worth reading.

Your asset is scarce but useless?

Fiat has a lot of use.

Also "past performance is not indicative of future results", remember?

The cargo cults of the South Pacific developed because the locals couldn't get their heads wrapped around the fact that there are societies out there that are far more sophisticated than their own to the point that they can produce airplanes and umbrellas and canned food.

America's Joe Shmoes developed moon landing conspiracy theories because they couldn't get their head wrapped around the fact that there are fellow countrymen and communities that are far more sophisticated than their are to the point they can just travel to other celestial bodies.

Following nostr:npub10jnx6stxk9h4fgtgdqv3hgwx8p4fwe3y73357wykmxm8gz3c3j3sjlvcrd's post I want to raise the question of whether man went to the moon.

Despite being a conspiracy theorist, or so I am told, I believe that man did go to the moon for several reasons.

- Images of the lunar landing sites (Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter). These images are from 2009, although we can argue that they were taken by the US and could be false.

- The Chinese Chang'e 2 probe managed to capture images of the Apollo landing sites in 2012. Although not at the same resolution as NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) images, these photos also showed the location of lunar modules and equipment left on the surface.

- Retroreflectors on the Moon. During the Apollo 11, 14 and 15 missions, astronauts left retroreflectors on the lunar surface. These devices allow pulses of laser light to be sent from the Earth to the Moon, and the retroreflector returns the light, allowing the distance between the Earth and the Moon to be measured with great precision. Some observatories and universities have conducted experiments using these retroreflectors, and the results are publicly available.

- Moon rock samples. The Apollo missions brought back 382 kilograms of lunar rocks, which have been analyzed in laboratories around the world, including institutions outside the U.S. These samples have been studied by independent scientists and have unique characteristics that differentiate them from terrestrial and meteorite rocks.

- International verification. It is not only the U.S. that has monitored these missions. Other countries, including the Soviet Union, which was competing in the space race, and nations with advanced tracking capabilities, verified and acknowledged the landings. For example, the Soviet Union did not refute the Apollo missions despite being in the midst of the Cold War.

What do you think?

Acknowledging the moon landings means acknowledging that there are people out there that are skilled and sophisticated on a level far beyond you and your community.

NASA is to Joe Shmoe from Boise, Idaho what Joe Shmoe from Boise, Idaho is to the Papua New Guinean hill tribes.

That's why nostr:nprofile1qqsrhuxx8l9ex335q7he0f09aej04zpazpl0ne2cgukyawd24mayt8gprdmhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuam9wd6x2unwvf6xxtnrdakj7qgnwaehxw309amk7apww468smewdahx2tckuej4c created nostr. A congregation where cointards can provide and receive the continuous mutual reassurance of their beliefs that they so badly need on an ongoing basis.

Like the belief that Bitcoin is sustainable or that nostr scales.

Nostr is like Jehovah's Witnesses' Kingdom Halls or Muslim mosques. It's not so important who is inside, it's important that dissonance stays out.
