Followed (kind 3) and Muted (kind 10000?) work just like custom lists, except you cannot rename them or delete them. You can add as many custom lists as you want. You can add new npubs to them. You can also go to a person page and flip switches to add/remove the person from any of your lists. And you can mark people as "private" on a list so when published it hides the fact they are on the list by putting them in the encrypted contents.

I will do a short video on it I think.

Something fun to do:

When it's well below freezing go over to your buddy's house after he's asleep. Set a sprinkler on top of his car and turn it on. Leave.

Tbh I'd like to see more porn, drug sales, and copyright infringement here. Otherwise how can we know if it's censorship resistant?

So in that same vein, why is the Ocean mining pool 'breaking'/not processing Samourai transaction 0 coinjoins ? You have influence at Ocean - don't be apologising for Ocean in another 5 years. Do the right thing and do the thing right.

Those labels don't apply in a freedom based environment.

People are actually just people, not labels. Nostr only does is revealing that not-so-evident truth.

After using #Nostr for several weeks, one thing that has taken me by surprise is how there are very liberal and very conservative people on here, and yet they both share a sense of community and don't spend all day posting content against each other. Despite differences in political persuasion, they find common ground on here.

Now that I've seen this, I better understand how dangerous centralized control of social media is -- where algorithms continuously drive inflammatory content to users to keep them addicted to the platform. I find it ironic that a censorship-resistant platform is largely devoid of much of the inflammatory content that's present on censorable social media. One may have thought the opposite would be the case.

People should come to Nostr with already some idea of how Nostr works, like at least a picture of a diagram of clients connecting to multiple relays. Is that asking too much?

Birthday lunch! Cheers!

Some extremely reliable facts that don’t get mentioned because “Muh NaRrAtiVE”…

Did you know?

• CO2, even as a greenhouse gas, has a declining marginal return on its effect? In other words, we have to double the CO2 concentration to have the same potential greenhouse effect.

— In other words, It’s like the bitcoin supply, only the first few halvings (or doublings for CO2) are meaningful in the supply change (or with CO2, the greenhouse effect change). After that it’s negligible.

— in other, other words, IF it has actually made the planet measurably warmer, we’ve already seen the overwhelming majority of any warming we will see?

• That CO2 is a *lagging* indicator of temperature historically, not a *leading* one?

• That the most reliable connection with CO2 levels and historical samples is a massive flourishing of life?

• At the end of the 1800s, CO2 concentration was in the 200 PPM range, and now it’s closer to 400 PPM. Wow! Thats scary huh? Except - 200 PPM is actually a multi million year LOW in CO2 levels and that the very ability for our planet to support plant life… and thus life at all at 150 or below is at risk. While on the other hand, the periods where life was literally exploding on earth (the literal Cambrian explosion and others) CO2 levels were in the 5,000-8,000 PPM range? That the AVERAGE is even something around 5k if I remember correctly? Something comically infeasible from merely burning fossil fuels?

— in other words, we were actually in such a horrible historical low in concentration that we were closer to a planet where life at all could have been unsustainable due to a LACK of CO2?

• That deaths and risks related to climate and weather have done nothing but plummet (like seriously drop like a rock, looks like the dollar value chart) for an entire century and are expected to do nothing but continue to plummet?

• That like 90% or more of weather/climate related deaths are because it’s too fucking cold?

• That for any honest view of the data: IF it should be expected that CO2 will alone actually cause a sustained warmer planet, that this just means more life, a healthier environment, higher crop yields, fewer weather related deaths, and that contrary to it causing a disaster, it’s more likely to have *averted* one?

You’re welcome 😚

The article postulates that a screen only protects against an address being swapped between the companion app and the hardware wallet. I don't see a discussion of the companion app being compromised, which is one of the scenarios a hardware wallet is supposed to protect against. After all, if the companion app cannot be compromised, why use a hardware wallet in the first place?

At WalletScrutiny.com, we tag products without a screen as "No interface to authorize transactions". The following attack is possible with all such devices. While the presence of an input device like a button or a fingerprint sensor can help to raise suspicions, NFC cards without a button can be attacked almost completely undetectable.

Let's say the release manager of the companion app gets under duress and forced to steal all the funds of all the users. He could change the companion app such that the first signing of a transaction is not shown on the companion app screen so the unsuspecting user presses that sign button again - we all know how NFC doesn't always work on the first try.

The first transaction is "pay that coffee". The second transaction is "send all the rest from all accounts to this address, please. And don't worry about any spending limits.".

The first transaction gets broadcast. The second transaction gets phoned home to the attacker but else disregarded on the app.

Now the attacker can collect valid transactions that wipe balances until somebody realizes what's going on. The attacker would simply wait for funds "under management" reaching some maximum at which point he sends all these transactions to the blockchain.

He is technically correct.

40 bytes OP_RETURN should be more than enough for any and all blockchain arbitrary data storage needs.

Don't let lazy programmers and greedy hype riders tell you otherwise.

I think there is a erudite and measured discussion to be had about the reasonableness of Luke. However, Samourai consistently goes out of their way to avoid erudite and measured discussion, opting for tribalism and discord.

That is regrettable.

Blockchain data storage limit disagreements date back to Satoshi times.

Luke's 40 byte limit is by no means unreasonable. People should just chill and keep coding.

I mean, they are STILL handling it poorly. Do you disagree with the narrative that they are *still* pushing (this very hour) that this is intentional, hostile censorship specifically against their platforms?

I believe Ordinals can solve it in the same way. An ipfs hash is only 32 bytes. It fits perfectly fine in a 40 byte OP_RETURN.

No need to panic about it, just store the meat somewhere else and keep using the blockchain for what it was meant for -- validation.
