For the past 9 years I've been trying to orange pill my family. It's been mostly fail after fail.
I always gush about proof of work, censorship resistance, Byzantine's general's problem etc. but today I realized I've been doing it wrong.
I don't think my family realizes that the central banks are insolvent. I don't think they know the dangers of fractional reserve banking, quantitative easing, and monetary debasement.
I need to shut up about Bitcoin and instead talk about the root issues.

I'm having a mental breakdown... On #nostr!
My headcanon is that the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory is Satoshi. Just like they invented TOR, they could have invented Bitcoin. Only the stakes are so much larger with Bitcoin that they were sworn to secrecy.
I managed, with some coercion and a few hours, to get ChatGPT to help me implement the raw NIP01 in Unity.
The problem is when you suggest the Nostr protocol, GPT throws it's shit out the cot and adamantly refuses to help.
It took some time but I was able to finally get a JSON object out and receive an "OK" message back, with an error for indexing or some shit. After about two and a half hours of hacking at it, I turned to the repo Kieran sent me for Nostr.Client, a #C implementation (https://www.nuget.org/packages/Nostr.Client).
This will indeed make things quantifiable easier, but the challenge still lies ahead in hacking Unity to run such things without breaking. It's a nuget package for one thing, so I have to use a utility to install the package into Unity (which is currently failing).
But! once I overcome this, I should theoretically be able to send events to and from Unity to a relay, using Nostr.Client #C implementation.
Why does ChatGPT refuse to help with Nostr? Have you tried Venice.ai? It's far less censored and run by OG bitcoiners.

I attended the hearing for William Lonergan Hill (TDevD of Samourai Wallet) in the Southern District of New York on behalf of nostr:npub1t8a7uumfmam38kal4xaakzyjccht4y5jxfs4cmlj0p768pxtwu8skh56yu today.
Here’s what I learned:

I must respectfully beg to differ.
I have been on Nostr since back when astral.ninja was a popular client, and we had ZERO native mobile clients. Client UX has improved massively since then, and is only continuing to do so.
I will respond to a few points in particular:
1. Amethyst is my go-to client on mobile, and I am no dev, just tech-curious. Considering that nostr:nprofile1qythwumn8ghj7anfw3hhytnwdaehgu339e3k7mf0qy88wumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmv9uq3zamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wwa5kuef0qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyv9kh2uewd9hj7qpqgcxzte5zlkncx26j68ez60fzkvtkm9e0vrwdcvsjakxf9mu9qewq6txrvx is building an client with as many features packed into it as possible, it is remarkably intuitive to find the things that most users want.
2. You can't mute users on Primal? Mobile or web? Pretty sure you can on web, which means it is almost certainly coming to mobile, too.
3. Ummmm... Browser extensions absolutely work on mobile... You can use either nos2x or Alby with Kiwi browser or Firefox. However, I highly recommend using Spring for web clients on mobile. Amethyst + Amber for native clients and Spring for web clients is really all you need on Android, IMO.
And yeah, I would not bother with trying to onboard normies to Nostr right now. It is a protocol with an INCREDIBLE amount of potential, and is currently rough around the edges such that only those who really care about censorship resistance and open protocols will likely stick around, and that's fine.
With as fast as clients have been improving over the last year and a half + that I have been around here, I have no doubt that Nostr will be ready for prime time in the very near future. Until then, enjoy it for what it is, help shape what it will be, and share it with those who care about its core value of permissionless and censorship resistant public speech.
I use Primal on web and Android and can confirm that you can mute on both. mute effectively blocks, idk what OP is talking about
I think anarchy is 3 rules.
1. Self ownership
2. Property rights
3. Non-aggression principle
I set up a Temporal server on Kubernetes. I think I deserve a PHD now.
I grew up in an environment where there were consequences to expressing myself. Complaints and deviations from the "right path" were not allowed, punishable with spankings. To this day I have not overcome this. I see every stranger as a person who is ready to verbally cut me down, tell me everything I said wrong, call out my weaknesses, and report it to the authorities. "Hell is other people" is a mantra I tell myself. #TraumaDump
