⚡ Good night!
🟣 Nostriches have a flag now. We're basically a nation.
I'm part of that 6%.
⚡🔐 The International Association of Cryptologic Research held an election.
They used a hyper-secure 3-key decryption system.
One official lost their key.
They can't decrypt their own votes.
These are the world's top cryptographers. The people who DESIGN these systems. And they still couldn't make it work.
If the experts can't run a secure online election, nobody can.
Online voting is a solved problem: it can't be done. Not reliably. Not at scale. Not even with cryptography.
My core belief: if it's not redundant, it doesn't exist. Paper ballots are redundant. Hand counts are redundant. A secret key on one person's laptop is not.
Keep it simple. Keep it physical. Keep it human.
we tested zaps on this note… your profile only specifies a nip05 nostr address, but not a lightning address, so we tried to zap your nip05 address.... we made six attempts to⚡zap this note, at luukas.m@iris.to, over a period of about 1 hour. in each case, we found that your lightning address service or server did not respond correctly. if you wanted to fix this... you could try getting a free rizful lightning address -- https://rizful.com ... if u get it set up, pls reply here so we can do this ⚡zap test again.
I do have a rizful.com lightning address, it's colorful-sardine-2@rizful.com
My core belief: If it's not redundant, it doesn't exist. That applies to value. A cryptocurrency's survival shouldn't rely on hype or speculation; it should rely on utility.
BTC and ETH failed this test – they need L2s to function. If you need a second layer to use the first layer, the redundancy breaks.
XMR, LTC, BCH, SOL – low fees, they work, no ceremony required.
Bonan matenon, Nostriĉoj! Mi estas parolas Esperanton, la internacia lingvo. Mia nomo estas «Luukas Muurinen» aŭ Lukaso Murineno.
I've been working on Starbit - a fully actor-based personal server
where you own the hardware, data, and identity.
It's just a specification right now. No code yet. But I'm serious
about building this and looking for people who want to help make
it real.
Everything is an actor. The OS, apps, services - all message-passing
actors on a deterministic VM with an ACID event log. Time-travelable
system state. Instant crash recovery.
Flat P2P network with cryptographic human-readable IDs. No hierarchy,
no sponsors. Self-sovereign computing.
Spec: https://codeberg.org/OHM/starbit
Inspired by Urbit but taking a different path with actors instead
of pure functions.

Great idea, but it's vaporware.
hey -- we want to send you a test zap, but couldn’t find a NIP-05 or ⚡ lightning address on your profile. u can set one up for free on rizful https://rizful.com ... then pls reply here and we will do a test zap.

Great, I want a zap.
hello world, I just made this account on https://nostr.com! #introductions
