they will finally feel the flames

flames that run down through my veins

i will make the city burn

we're not planning to return

trying so hard to be free

to make you see what I see

hold on to your wishes

if you can't hold on to me

Sticks across the bowl 👌

eyes burning a way through me

eyes destroying so sweetly

now there is a fire in me

a fire that burns

this fire is out of control

i'll burn, i'll burn, i'll burn it down

Bitcoin is Consistent and Available but not Partitionable.

Nostr is Available and Partitionable but not Consistent

Bunkers are okay, but complicate the system. Do you have a link on how FROST deals with lost keys?

I'm still surprised that people consider the separation of identity and authorization unnecessary. Combining them might be a core Bitcoiner philosophy though

nostr doesn't trust relays

I'm happy to engage with arguments, but "go read all these things" is some else's homework.

If the definition of "what you have said" is the contents of a computer, then:

- Your ISP can remove you from the network

- Anyone else's ISP can remove you from their network

- Your server dying will remove you from the network

- Malware or a hack can arbitrarily change what you have "said"

There is no censorship resistance in this

Replying to Avatar Guy Swann

lol, brand new, still in beta. It’s basically a P2P protocol for “home servers” (just think relays) and then personal “domains” (think keys). Similar in concept to Nostr, except the record of users is placed in the DHT, so it’s insanely censorship resistant and if you ever want anyone to find you or your content, nobody can take down your DNS record because it’s stored through the BitTorrent network.

So there are solid censorship resistant benefits to pubky, but the server model is more traditional, where you don’t really have control, you are just using their server space. You don’t sign every message like you do in #Nostr. Great for UX because you don’t have to keep keys online, but a trade off on trust because each “relay” has the ability to arbitrarily change your messages (like Twitter or any other server).

So my take on Pubky v Nostr nostr:nprofile1qqsw4v882mfjhq9u63j08kzyhqzqxqc8tgf740p4nxnk9jdv02u37ncxzszx8:

the trust relationship is worse in Pubky in some regards because all activity isn’t signed by the user, decentralization makes the likelihood of abuse slightly higher, but the UX of just having to “sign in” and it works as expected and you can use as many clients and servers as you like, plus run your own at home is a solid benefit, and the censorship resistance of the DHT is probably best you can get.

Honestly I think they can be used in tandem where each is optimized for a particular piece of the puzzle. Delays and DHT domains could be used with Nostr. It’s a matter of the right tool for the right job. Curious how each will be used in the long run. Watching both closely

"You don’t sign every message"

Wait... really? 🤦🏻‍♂️
