Lets say you start receiving lots of different ecash zaps from many different mints. How so you know which are legit and which are not? There is no guarantee that any of them are actually redeemable? nostr:note1qzye7ekjgq2gw6rr5v5vc3h6mf2043tshtnsmdk6vskx26dlgx5qskqz34

Unpopular opinion: <1% of the Western world is both willing and able to RTFM

It was the Privacy figure in the Bitcoin white paper that stopped me cold years ago, and when I realized it was a radically different architecture.

I have tried to replicate in the figure below the radical essential difference between the traditional platform models and the ‘new protocol model’ that is #nostr.

The radical difference is that identities remain behind the veil while all events are signed and relayed for public benefit. In contrast to the traditional platforms, the custodians remain behind the veil, controlling identities and database records for their own benefit.

I see. That's a shame.

Well, as long as that isn't solved it will be very hard to convince any non-single-person entities to use nostr. One guy leaves your company/team/org & your nsec is forever rekt.

I know it’s not a story per se, but a movie adaptation/inspired-by of this #bookstr could be awesome!

Do you call them “scabs” over there too?

Contrary to Churchill’s take, I believe Democracy is perhaps the worst form of government to exist.

100,000 Lichtensteins is the model I think can work at scale. Lots of smaller autonomous communities who are not beholden to the whims of people hundreds or thousands of kilometres away let alone on the other side of the planet, with localised leadership of people who have skin in the game.

This accounts for social/cultural differences between areas and peoples. The people of Broome shouldn’t be beholden to the Socialists of Melbourne - in fact they should share zero governance between them. And the people of Broome and Melbourne should have absolutely nothing to do with edicts from cunts like the WHO or IMF or any other supranational body.

Decentralising will force those with a collectivist mindset to focus on their own backyards rather than being enabled to virtue signal about the poors that they have zero interaction with.

Seeing chuggers successfully go around collecting money mostly from women to purportedly send to some poors overseas whilst there are homeless people sitting 10m away, junkies all over, kids down the street who don’t get regular meals and men forced out of work by immigrants who those women supported importing, that really drives home the need for decentralisation and localisation over these retarded globalist socialist forms of governance.

Isn’t it crazy how the movement for “inclusiveness” and “tolerance” has become the most excluding, hateful, selfish, and intolerant bullshit ever? 🤔🙃 nostr:note1xpf5gyg2c7wn448zwq38jqznkr6kjpfckk96266cs4t0ru9qwacq3ee85l

I had trouble finding system resource information about running a liquid node so I’ll document some info here:

~27GB disk space

~6GB RAM free for IBD

The IBD is RAM hungry, so best to have spare free space and swap setup.

I suspect it was basically intended as art. Someone thinks it's cool that bitcoin can do all of these weird things and decided to showcase them all in one transaction.

of course Damus Notedeck supports multi-account from day 1 !
