Right to Repair and Freedom Tech movements should be more closely aligned than they currently are imo

I know, I am not suggesting to remove anyone. I don't think requiring relays to charge a fee is compatibles with the permissionless nature of #nostr . We will need smart ways to filter out the crud. I keep hearing about Web of Trust (WoT) approaches, I don't know how many clients use it. Coracle has a WoT score displayed on every post.
are you planning to release an electronic version of it?
Can't ignore them for long, they will flood the network unless we think of something, 20% growth per day is definitely unsustainable
bots - they follow and are followed by each other even though they have 0 notes
I think over 50% of my followers are bots with 0 posts, all followed within the last month. Have you all noticed the same? What should be done about it?

If miners collude, they could appropriate coins, true. The same is true for LN though, isn't it? (they could censor "justice transactions")
> "I think itās impractical and unaffordable because A: anyone who wants to (and has enough money) can write to your āsecuredā database (lol) and B: even authorized users cannot reuse the PoW."
I was referring to PoW in general, not Bitcoin's specifically. Of course PoW would not be the only security mechanism in place, just one of the pieces. Consider the Hashcash idea of using PoW to fight spam; an email with dedicated PoW attached has a lower likelihood of being spam because sending out large volumes of such messages would be very costly. Perhaps similar ideas can be applied to prevent some types of DDOS attacks.
> "So if there are no control values that make sense to put behind PoW, then the āpissing contestā argument doesnāt make sense to me either, because having nukes is very much a real threat."
Of course, no argument there, having nukes is a very real deterrent. Having thousands of nukes so powerful that you could never possibly make use of them without destroying yourself, is a pissing contest.
Whether or not Drivechains are a good design (not sure yet myself), the glaring problem is that it's difficult to understand, and that is incompatible with #Bitcoin imo. Bitcoin shouldn't require a PhD to understand or explain
I agree it's much weaker than what it was made out to be. Haven't read all of it though.
He does have a point that Bitcoin mining could be of interest in the "pissing contest" dimension of military posturing. Instead of maintaining thousands of nukes that could obliterate the world many times over (pointless except for show of strength) you can "project power" by demonstrating how much hashpower you can muster.
How exactly that hashpower could be used to digitally secure something, I did not see an answer. I guess that PoW can be used as a security building block in digital security, e.g. demanding a large PoW to gain access to a critical system, but I don't know if that's practical or affordable.
Haha ok, clearly it's less gripping to you than it is to me š
My reason for using FU tech is not to say FU just because I can. It is because of the uncensorability that it provides, which results in people speaking more freely, even if they are completely cordial. A bit like the point of having a gun is not to use it per se, but to have the option of doing so

I read chapters 1-3 this week, very stimulating. Where are you at?
