4 days of: cordial debates, technical workshops, talks and panels, interactivities, meshtastic devices, hardware hacking, the CTB puzzle. So much fun.

> I also think that without filters, monetary txs can displace jpgs, which doesn't look like it is the case in this graph.

I would generally agree. The minimum demand/value of a monetary tx/usecase would need to be higher than the highest demand/value of a "jpeg" tx in order to have zero spam/jpegs in the next block. This isn't intuitively represented I suppose for the graph (based on the x axis as you point out), but it's how I intended this to be interpreted.

~85% is generous imo. You could push it more aggressively to 95–99%, but I figured 85% would serve as a starting point, since I didn't want the whole discussion to revolve around the arbitrary majority needed for a filter to be noticed.

Can we objectively measure (point in time) relay filter effectiveness?

We can by looking at the friction a Tx/usecase faces getting into a block.

Filtering on datacarrier (preventing OP_RETURNs from exceeding 83 bytes) lives in the [pink box]

Sharing this as a discussion point.

Well not sure all of what MSM does, but specifically for TV late night that is also available over the airways (FCC stuff). We probably won't have to, streaming services and internet content will kill these things naturally. The question will be what will be the purported reason. Easy to blame externalities that are out of the hand of the decision maker.

nostr:nprofile1qyg8wumn8ghj7nn0wd68ytnhd9hx2qg4waehxw309ajkgetw9ehx7um5wghxcctwvsqzp6y2dy0f3kvc0jty2gwl7cqztas8qqmc5jrerqxuhw622qnc2pq3x3x7wj if you wanted me to use Nostr more, you should have just sent me this. Best marketing for Nostr I've seen to date.

Is it possible to think that late-night shows in general are on their way out? Ratings are tough because of competing platforms, these shows are expensive to produce, and the FCC shouldn't be used as a political arm to censor speech, the FCC very likely overstepped here.

AND

There was a nonzero chance this was used as a convenient excuse to suspend a late-night host as a way to bring publicity and help promote the next person who would replace this host.

Asking for a friend, because apparently whenever this is asked, the first thing that comes up are analogies comparing this supposedly "gross" question to something about Charlie Kirk's murder. Smh. We are so cooked in terms of being able to debate stuff.

We do. Bitcoin Knobs

It seems common place to compound stupidity in quick secession when terrible events happen. I'm hoping this doesn't backfire.

i decided to use https://nstart.me thoughts?

I'm working on the relaunch of my website and server backend, one thing I'm wondering if someone stumbles upon my game and wants to register with Nostr but doesn't have an account. Where should I point them?

https://nostr.com/ ?

I don't really want them to generate the keys on my website if I can help it because I want them to be responsible for not losing their nsec. Any ideas from what others have done?
