So uh, what exactly do we do during a #zapathon? Just zap notes more than we usually do?
also a real option
Yeah, I know. But this representation is aesthetically pleasing.
Thinking about getting the bitcoin elliptic curve (secp256k1) as a tattoo. Would that be cringe? 
Agreed, itβs a great universe. Also a shockingly good video game.
To a nerdy audience this is like throwing a grenade into a room of people. While weβre at it, vim is the best text editor and Debian is the best distro.
Some people didnβt learn anything from 2017-18.
I still donβt know what Cashu is, and at this point Iβm embarrassed to ask.
We haven't really seen (AFAICT) determined impersonation scammers on nostr yet. If it gets mainstream-popular, we definitely will. I'm kinda worried that NIP-05 (at least in its current form/implementation) will actually it easier to impersonate people.
Say I want to impersonate #[0]. Here's what I would do...
0. Set up a pubkey with his avatar, description etc.
1. Register a domain that looks similar to his NIP-05 domain - say, werunb1c.com or something like that, and set up verification there with the same username he uses.
2. Start cloning all his activity (trivial on nostr) on my fraudulent pubkey for, say, a week - so the timestamps are authentic
3. Start running "send me 1 btc, get 2 back" scams in replies (or something more nefarious).
Nobody on nostr right now would fall for something like this but mainstream CrYpTo morons definitely will. My fake account will be way more convincing than the average Elon impersonator on twitter - it'll have the shiny purple tick in current Nostr clients and only those looking *very* carefully at the NIP-05 domain would be able to tell it's not really him.
We definitely need more robust verification/anti-sybil schemes before this thing takes off for real.
Haha, this turned out to be a major PEBCAK. My dang site was down! Fixed now.
Really loving this colliding of worlds with Japanese nostr. Japanese netizens are awesome, I see it in ham radio too.
I'm one of them! Hello!
The peanut butter thing sounds delicious, I'm definitely going to try that.
