Building Arx, because private, sovereign networks matter ------ Developer, protocol tinkerer, neighborhood thought-criminal. When legacy media shouts “conspiracy,” I just call it Tuesday. • Shipping Arx commit by commit, code before commentary • Unapologetic free-thinker & digital-sovereignty maximalist • Bitcoin ⚡ & Nostr native • Living life permissionlessly, no rulers, only protocols ✨

The nostr protocol is incredibly simple (and that's a good thing), so making a bot isn't that hard. For example a simple bot that greets anyone that writes !greeterBot is as follows: you read any kind 1 event and then submit your own kind 1 mentioning #e the previous event. Does that make sense?

A Closed Community Network, you can think of it as a private, encrypted, invite-only community/group built on top of nostr

Explain

That's a message left in a Closed Community Network, for CCN members, the content is perfectly legible and accessible, but for those outside it just looks like a bunch of hex digits

In this case that's a simple note with a simple text message, but it could be anything, it could be a message in a forum, it could be a recipe, it could be their move in a super-secret chess game, heck it could be a plan to take over the world 😛.

Within the CCN, the sender's identity is transparent to all members. To outsiders, though, it's merely a solitary post from a random npub that will never publish again.

Members of the CCN also don't care if the message gets deleted in the relay because their private relay maintains a copy of all CCN content.

Outsiders don't know how many members a CCN has, all they can know is that there is an event happening in a specific CCN, in this case 8c268cfe-7db2-11ef-803e-98fc84e474e0, but this note doesn't have to be published anywhere specific, since the CCN maintains an association between its members and the relays they post to (similar to NIP-65 but only accessible to CCN members).

If you have any questions feel free to ask!

I know that this may look like complete gibberish posted by a new npub that will never interact with nostr again as far as the network is concerned, but it might be one of the most important notes in a while 😉

Also, one point that's not brought up often is that ancient african societies, like their european counterparts, engaged extensively in free trade, which contributed to their prosperity. The region's economic decline largely began when many of these societies shifted away from trade-based systems and adopted forms of proto-proto-communism.

It's not cringe, it's not evil, it's way past that, it's just straight up demonic. I know they're politicians so they don't have a soul to begin with but just how inhuman does one have to be to sign A BOMB? I just can't wrap my head around it

Honestly I've come to understand that when many people say capitalism they just mean "thing I don't like". Their indoctrination has made that association between "capitalism" and "bad" and so everything they don't like is capitalism's fault.

As far as IP protection goes, it's not my goal to compete with TOR or even VPNs, I would say that the user is responsible for that (tho in the future if there is a lot of demand I may change my mind).

All the code will always be fully available and licensed under AGPL3 but this is definitely a company, and we will charge users a license fee to use it, similar to the model that FUTO apps use

Yes, everything on Arx is end-to-end encrypted, between members of your CCN, both user to user messages as well as user to CCN messages (and more)!

https://arx-ccn.com but no code is released publicly YET (want to wait till I have a fully working and most importantly secure implementation)

nostr:npub10pensatlcfwktnvjjw2dtem38n6rvw8g6fv73h84cuacxn4c28eqyfn34f will probably turn out to be one of the most impactful organizations in history with respect to human flourishing.

We’ll just have to wait 40 or so years to find out.

And futo!

For uploads (including images) on #nostr should always be via torrents - change my mind

Do you have a license to buy groceries? It's part of the implied social contract that you must submit this information to protect against criminals who dare buy groceries without permission. I mean... what can you possibly do with those groceries, jeez. You never know what kind of chaos someone could cause with an unauthorized carton of eggs or a loaf of bread. Honestly, I'm just relieved the grocery police are cracking down on these lawless food buyers. I sleep better at night knowing that all grocery purchases are verified, tracked, and kept safe in a database somewhere. /s

We're all surfers, we surf through the wave of notes to find the ones deserving of the most zaps! We're all one big ohana. Ohana means frens.

Have you thought about using gift wrapping (NIP-59) to encrypt and sign the nsecs for each of your anon accounts, as well as the npubs of your followers?

That way you don't need an export function, just decrypt the message with your real nostr account (or one you use only for this purpose if extremely paranoid) and you have access to everything.

Use Nostr!

Government can only ever do three things, neither of which ever solves any problem:

- Make something illegal

- Attack someone

- Print money

And usually if one doesn't work they'll try the other two, just in case. And when that doesn't work it's due to how evil the opposition is, they had their hands tied, duh.

People can't afford to live because of inflation, there is only one solution: LET'S PRINT MONEY.

People aren't having kids because they're disillusioned with the state of the world, so there is only one solution: LET'S PRINT MONEY.

I can't wait for Bitcoin centric closed community networks / microeconomics to become widespread so people stop caring about the amount of fake money their real money buys

Don't leave your #yubikey unattended, fellas.

To be clear, this is an extremely sophisticated attack and I don't think that it's a realistic attack vector you need to protect against, for most people, but just in case, keep your #yubikey with you at all times.
