I think there's acknowledgement of that, but users are aware from what I can see that nothing they post is private on Nostr. I don't see people using their real names and there's a tendency to use some desktop clients (phones are registered to real IDs).

Actually a big concern has been getting relay access without VPNs. Technically VPNs are illegal as well and make content choppy.

Having said that, user privacy is a huge concern and a slipup would be dangerous, yes. There is room to do more work educating people on that for sure. That said, it's a lot harder to tie down who you are from a private key - which is why a lot of Chinese people still transact with BTC/USDT despite the risk. Versus X or any other apps tend to need some way to communicate with you ex: email that can tie you down.

Yeah, it says "In a speech late Friday, he threatened to..." but it would be better if they had included a link to the speech, even if it were in Spanish.

Except nostr is not a storage system. Its a way of relaying notes, and other stuff, from one user to another. Relays will nuke your data.

bitcoin is ideologicaly agnostic. It's sovereign and all encompassing, and I love it.

Also a huge fan of Bukele. I don't know the context of the latest headline, but calling for price controls does raise an eyebrow. Curious what's going on down there.

Nostr Identity + Relays scales to 1000s

Nostr Identity + NIP-98 scales to billions

I dont disagree. This is what TimBL refers to as client/client standards, which is what we tried to build into Solid. The client/client standards suffer from the weakness that first movers get an advantage and that technical debt gets ossified quickly. 2+ different key management solutions (which is where we're heading btw) would indeed be indistinguishable from a fork for the end user perspective. The NIPs are a bit of a war zone, too centralzied, and it's hard to get people to agree on something. So we are going to have this problem in any case. If you zoom out, though, there are likely to be a first gen of clients, and a next gen of clients. Subkeys are a simple non intrusive addition. Just add a subkey array to your profile or to your nip-05, and then use that key, and signal to clients provably that it's part of your master key. Those that accept it can, those that dont want to, dont have to. IMHO the only way to do it is a full solution that has full version control anchored in the time chain, but we are a long way from that. Not just nostr, every social project needs this.

It's not a fork in the network, because the network of relays remains the same, and all events are both standard, and according to consensus. It's a fork in the clients, not the network. But nostr is exactly designed to have diversity of clients.

Yes, to key rotation. Not a soft fork, just a NIP. Opt-in. Just like HD wallets were opt-in on bitcoin. Nostr is not that centralized, that adding functionality requires a soft-fork, imho.

Yes, subkeys fixes this

I mean that the transaction fees for self-hosted Lightning Network transfers are much more expensive than ecash.
