sent you an email... :-/ guess nostr dms decided not to behave today

No 😥

saw your DM, but you sent a nip04 dm (probably from primal or other apps not implementing nip17), this DM can leak my key as well as yours, I have replied, with a nip17

tried with 4 different servers for my vpn of choice (mullvad), all servers in europe, tried servers in it, de, no, se

I can't reach out to your support because I need to login in order to do that... And I'm unable to do that. How about nip17 DMs or white noise or signal?

until this is fixed, VPNs are allowed again, I will not recommend anyone else to use wave, and I'm going to be actively looking for a competitor. This matters to me

nostr:npub1wvspcey72fkea672jymfa28qzlqmlhafv0uzu3zppmtx7mwy5lkscv33pu guys, I like what you're doing, there's nothing else like it in europe as far as I know, but stop with the VPN blocking you've added recently. this is absolutely unacceptable; I'm currently unable to login to my account.

Nip04 DMs are just insecure. The algorithm used to encrypt leaks data, use nip17, always

To people messaging me with nip04: I'm sorry but I will only answer with nip17. Answering with nip04 risks leaking my key as well as yours

And this is why building systems where even if we wanted to we can't see anything about our users is needed

Someone needs to create an identity on the crazy side of the internet (bluesky, twitter, etc.) called "catching criminals", and every time a crime happens they should demand to know an explanation from car manufacturers, knife manufacturers, gun manufacturers or whatever have you.

Saying shit like "how could FORD allow this crime to happen?". Hopefully as this spreads people will realize how fucked up this is, or not...

It's pretty simple: people don't want "AI" and they don't want "cloud". All we want is products that work, and the more they shove either of those things into every product the more they don't just work.

Sounds like yet another format we need to add to binostr to see how it performs (and if it can beat dannypack) ~

On amethyst its fine. Images are a little slow to load but that's about it

I don't think it even matters WHAT device it is, permanent batteries were a mistake.

I wish phones had replaceable batteries again

It is your duty as a citizen of the world to not comply with terrible laws.

Breaking encryption just because some politician thinks that Orwell's books should be a guide for building a society is weak.

There is no way for them to enforce this because there's no way for them to ban this.

Encryption has and will always exist, and privacy is the most essential right; without privacy you cannot live.

Haven't seen that before, thanks for sharing

Honestly it's not that hard to use, and if you want LLM conversations over nostr they better be encrypted at least on my opinion

If you do this I recommend you to use MDK for encrypting the conversation. That way at least there's **some** privacy.

Ok now I'm getting pissed

Difference of opinions. Core is doing everything they can to decentralize

I actually hate ordinals and all the other shit that treats individual UTXOs (or worse, individual sats) as anything other than what they are... But I also acknowledge the reality of the situation

And your knots code will still let through any non monetary transactions ^^

The point is that if you want to store data you were always able to. You can create a merkle tree with a spending condition that's actually an image and do that. It's cheaper than OP_RETURN, and impossible to block.

E.g.: https://github.com/stutxo/labitbu

Run core.

OP_RETURNs are easier on your mempool.

OP_RETURNs are the worst way to store images and whatever else you have in mind (expensive).

OP_RETURNs are immediately prunable from the UTXO database since they can never be spent

OP_RETURNs are more honest than fake addresses or other data-embedding tricks that pollute the UTXO set

OP_RETURNs are easier to filter and identify compared to data hidden in other transaction components

OP_RETURNs don't require address validation, simplifying transaction construction for data-only purposes

OP_RETURNs are transparent about their purpose as they clearly signal "this is data, not a payment"

hating is easy, building is hard, why do you think so many people want communism, sorry, I meant "democratic socialism"

il diritto alla privacy è il diritto più fondamentale da cui tutti gli altri diritti possono discendere. senza privacy, non puoi avere libertà di parola. senza privacy, non puoi semplicemente... esistere.

I get that you're not trying to make a honeypot, you're probably doing some encryption to find messages that match something that the app is, probably for match making or something, not sure without looking at the code, but.... it is vibe coded... I don't trust LLMs, especially with security

I don't think you tested enough, generate another one, just to be sure

that's exactly how it works, it's not possible to capture the path of individual photons, due to the uncertainty principle. if you know their position you don't know where they're going and vice versa. there ARE devices that can see photons tho

incorrect. the correct way to describe it is that the camera is fast enough to watch a pulse of laser light travel a few millimetres between frames
