Sidenote: I love the author Jon Hassler. He wrote a lot of stories about small towns that depict really well this experience of having to socialize among diverse communities. It’s something that young people may not be able to relate to. Cyber bullying and cyber hating is a very different experience imo.
The risk of course is in surrounding yourself only with like minded people. In prior generations, you had to regularly socialize with those that you might despise. Thesis: This tension made us better/stronger people. I think Gurdjieff would definitely agree
I think Mutiny is the only choice if you want something comparable to Venmo or Cash App
Addresses do exist on the monero blockchain. It’s part of the reason that the UX is so good.
Grin doesn’t have addresses on chain and the UX is not as good. https://grin.mw
Here is the famous Bitcoin developer Peter Todd on his opinion on Tail Emission:
"Surprisingly, Tail Emission Is Not Inflationary"

There’s nothing surprising about that. It has no downsides
Agree. But as a tool, it should be available.

Idea for a geo-fenced Nostr Relay:
1. User enters in their mailing address to the relay sign up page
2. If address is within a certain city / area code range, the relay presents a payment screen
3. After payment is received, the service mails a physical access code to the user’s address (this could all be automated)
4. User receives mail and enters access code on relay sign up page
5. Every year, the user renews access by following the same process again.
This would work really well for smaller towns that don’t want to get brigaded by bigger cities.
I’m dirty dan…

We need more certainty than that, sir! 😄
On Damus, I don’t even see the username if they have an NIP-5. I only see the display_name with a check.
Is the idea that the name will ideally remain stable while the display_name will change more frequently?
Re-contextualize things during new user onboarding. Basic social media actions take on new meaning in a decentralized network.
Example: when they “like” a note for the first time, pop a hint that explains “when you like something, it signals to your followers that they might also want to see it. Your actions help to shape their algorithm”.
Are you saying we should 3 names? Two was already one too many 😂
I doubt that he had a bad connection. He’s in a regular city afaik. I wonder how many people that has happened to
How does NASA explain the fact that the moon is the exact size and position to fully block the sun when aligned?
Do they think it’s a random accident or what? nostr:note1y5knelgpyw8zyw8hnzkh80sch5v4svru9du3atu9ql8zfsd7f8cseqc9xy

If Im reading this correct nostr:npub1jmqznxuxxxrnaj3m7esjrwauxmvg742ltj0gsgumlmtxukzq99yqfrl6g5 created his keys using coracle.
From looking at his profile from two apps other than Damus, the relay list limbo is not an issue (rather damus does not currently recognize the relay list kind coracle uses. I created a damus issue for this).
I see no need for Mitnev to ditch his keys.
The ditching of keys was for my OTHER friend that didn’t get follows or following showing up on their account after creating account with Damus
>When you receive a Silent Payment you have to go through every transaction, compute the shared secret for each input and compare to the outputs until you find the right match.
Would this happen on the user device? If cake wallet is running the compute for this, doesn’t it then make it non-private? Because cake would know what you’re looking for
nostr:npub1zafcms4xya5ap9zr7xxr0jlrtrattwlesytn2s42030lzu0dwlzqpd26k5 so ditch the account and make a new one? Wouldn’t Damus refresh the profile every time a change is made like a person following them or them following someone else?
