Do I understand correctly that #nostr is not suitable as a record of *when* a note was published? i.e. that you can publish a note today and backdate it to last Thursday or to 700BC?
#asknostr #nostrdev
I always write stuff down, because I assume that future me is a moron and won't remember anything.
But I never read what past me wrote, because I assume that past me was a moron and didn't know anything.
Present me is probably the biggest moron.
I knew it

believe it or not. Your the first one that could at least describe an advantage of it.
Just to really recap an understand.
The hardware wallet is dooing the same as if i was using a client to stack sats, then backup it to a Usb drive ann write down my keys somewhere else and delete the Client from my online device?
Is that right?
But in this case i still have to trust a software and a hardware developer.
If you used a software wallet, your private key has been on your computer, and hence was potentially exposed to a hacker. With a hardware wallet, the key never leaves the wallet itself.
A hardware wallet is also very useful for making transactions. How do you make a transaction with your private key on paper? You can't, you have to re-enter it into your computer (again exposing it to hackers). The hardware wallet allows you to sign a transaction while not exposing the private key.
Yes, you have to trust the hardware maker, but the good ones are as open/verifiable as possible.
The core property of #nostr is that it is a permissionless protocol; any relay may join. (Analogous to Bitcoin's decentralization). In this light, banning relays would mean fundamental failure.
I don't think privacy is a central element, our data is out in the open, even moreso than when posting on mainstream platforms because there it is behind closed doors (they have an incentive to protect it in order to better & exclusively monetize it). However, the fact that anyone can create an nsec/npub without any kyc does benefit privacy.
Success (IMO) means that a significant portion of "public square" conversations are held on nostr
The advantage of a hardware wallet is that it keeps your private key offline (well, except for Ledger's planned update, that they walked back afterwards IIRC). In principle it does not expose the private key to your computer, which is good because your computer can be hacked
It matters because if SHA-256 is broken it means it's breakable, which means that a hostile actor (e.g. Fed) could make all the accumulated Proof-of-Work worthless in an instant. I think we should be using multiple hashing algorithms
We don't know if SHA-256 hasn't been broken, because a highly profitable way to monetize that knowledge would be to silently mine bitcoin at near zero cost.
There is also trust in the hardness of SHA-256, which is not mathematically proven
Peanut butter house!
How likely is it that Satoshi would have built the ultimate timechain, and chosen not to use it to reveal his true identity at some point in the future (probably post-mortem)?
#Bitcoin
Zap a ton? Zapatron? #Zapathon
True, although supply is capped and demand seems to be increasing.
At the end of the day, I buy it because I know I can't be inflated into oblivion, and this fundamentally feels right to me. The gamble is whether the rest of the world will see it the same way (and when).
People who started in 2014 or 2018 felt the same for 3-4 years
When in doubt, zoom out. This is sats per USD, in log scale. Maybe it's bonkers but the other side looks worse
If you already have two users A) 70% and B) 30%, and then you add a new user C to the mix, what should the config change to?
