I hate this woke-ass trend too. It's gotta end sometime.

Oh yeah, and stay TF away from Star Trek Diversity. (Discovery) It's the mother of all woke series.

BT devving could pay out if someone clever came up with the right incentive model in their client...

He talked about that here:

I've literally never met anyone who is using bluesky, nor have I even heard of activitypub. Is that like a bar where they do arts & crafts?

These aren't serious competitors, and even if they were, the serious privacy advocates are all working on Nostr, so it's the only one that activists are going to use.

...And the more authoritarian govts become, the more everyone becomes an activist.

Yep, it's an authoritarian shithole everywhere now. (But I can argue that in the US it really started when our own govt shot JFK.)

Like with bitcoin adoption, I see nostr adoption as slow going but assured because there will always be people out there that desperately need an uncensorable speech platform.

Bitcoin will make it all the way to a global money used by everyone someday because of the network effects of money. They won't have a choice. However Nostr's future isn't as assured. Like you said the average person isn't likely to worry about being banned, and payments over social isn't as appealing to them as we like to think it is.

But Nostr, like Linux, has that awesome usefulness in solving techie problems behind the scenes that will keep it growing regardless, even if the mainstream keeps using their microsoft and apple products forever. I think we need to be prepared to accept this future for it.

Can't tell where exactly you've gone wrong here... Are you calling cashu tokens altcoins? Or are you saying that bitcoin is becoming too complex for people to use anymore?

Damn, good show, man!

This looks like we're close to a perfect bitcoin wallet finally... One that few critics will find fault with. (Just have to build the exchanges & abstract away a few things like mint selection first.)

What else am I missing that this thing can't do yet but still needs for full mainstream adoption?

It's about damn time someone wrote a NIP for torrent incentivization! Countless projects in the past tried and failed to use some kind of shitcoin for torrent seeding... Even a few on-chain bitcoin projects like Frostwire were attempted, back in the days when fees were always zero sats.

Nostr as a comms channel beside zaps as a monetary incentive finally fulfills the promise of torrenting we all wanted since around the year 2000.

Rachel's boyfriend from "Friends," obvious.

Well no clients are using any form of key revocation as far as I can tell. Maybe key-control ID management would be better done on a new layer above (or below?) Nostr.

I don't think using the world "clown world" is helping anything. It makes these disgustingly brutal acts seem too jocular.

We left clown world around covid hit. We live in a complete authoritarian dystopian shithole world now.

That's so bold that I won't even make a joke about your penis size.

Followed.

Do your clients both use the same relay list?

People mean 2 different things when they refer to their social 'accounts.'

1. Their identity, specifically the credentials, but also the settings of the attached environment. (i.e. retaining their mute list & dark mode.) We can simply refer to this as our "npubs" or the less-geeky "nostr number."

2. Their presence, which includes their followers but is really the idea of themselves that they've marketed to the world. This is the part they really don't want stolen, and they could care less if it is protected by their identity. I don't think referring to this as part of your npub does is good enough... Once we have revocable npubs it literally doesn't fit anymore.

So far we've only referred to the latter as an 'account', but it does deserve a name of its' own. Perhaps something like their 'social soul' or the more obvious 'social presence.'

TOR is the best they have in that scenario but would you literally bet your life on it? They need Nostr to do more.

Nostr Wallet Connect - Calle writes a lot about it here.

The two tools often overlap... Speech in oppressive countries isn't ever free.

These would be awesome options on some kind of key management client. Something that (at the time of posting) allows you to choose your npub and revoke compromised npubs.

Key control is something that has many solutions but none agreed on yet... One approach would be for an individual software to manage all your keys... Offering a Revoke function.

Maybe bitcoin wallets could offer this add-on. They are key management software at heart, afterall.
