With the current board, definitely

This isn't accurate. All of the relays do some filtering, so the algorithm is just a level lower. You don't know what was sorted out before it got to you, even if it was a bot or spam from one of the npubs you follow. The relays would eventually collapse under notes, if they didn't curate, at least a bit.

That is a simple attack vector: just flood them with nonsense notes saying "Happy Birthday!" or containing kiddie-porn, or whatever, and shut down the server.

This is something all clients do. All of them. Nobody is using a client that doesn't do this. The client has to do this or it would have nothing to do.

There is no such thing as an executable software program without algorithms. It has to contain some set of instructions that are used to compute something, otherwise, it's a data file, not a program.

All we are discussing is whose algorithms users can use where and how easily they can customize them or view the logic behind them. The "Nostr Ethos" is not "Stop people from developing or using algos you don't like". It's "Make algos personal again". Allow people to customize them, turn them off, add their own, buy one and plug it in, etc.

You could make an algo that searches your feed for notes about astronomy and puts a little ✨ emoji in the top-right corner of the note, for instance.

yesterday i unfollowed everyone on twitter to reset and test the algorithm.

my experience generally stayed the same, with a pretty high quality of signal. it will only get better, towards what tiktok was able to do.

the algorithm isn’t the problem. the problem arises when the algorithm is a black box, can’t be turned off, or can’t be replaced by another one someone else wrote.

being able to choose if an algorithm is used, and which one is used, is key. no one is done this well yet. twitter is the only one that allows a choice in the first place.

Get new gas and electricity contracts. Soooo much cheaper, now.

Lol don't know, not American! We don't have EBT or most of these products here, we're too backwards in South Africa

So let me get this straight you get over $1000 a month and that's not enough? Damn, that alone is more than average wages in most countries

How far does this go if you bought real food though? Genuinely curious

Yes. But Strike is piggybacking Bitcoin to supercharge Fiat, it's wierd.

Mallers gets crazy airtime.

Europe is hostile to Bitcoin but Strike is np, come right in.

I dunno.

Way too easy to spoof and abuse in this day and age unfortunately.

Bastard ass scam numbers getting my fucking hopes up, calling my business phone, ringing for two rings, and then hanging the fuck up and not leaving any messages.

But they have ln addresses? 🤔

Have bots got more sophisticated recently? To include bio details? Addresses?

Are you saying that we shouldn't pay taxes?
