Nostr is a distributed system. That takes some serious sysadmin'ing to keep popular services up that go against the distributed nature of nostr (like indexing or search). The service was too popular, everyone used it, then it died because (I assume) it doesn't have the time or money to keep it alive. These are the things that slow down growth because we become dependent on things that are inherently unstable and have no mechanism to account for time or funding being spent. When you recommend a service or utilize a service in your apps, keep this in mind. Don't use or become a central point of failure.

No authority. Only Nostr.

“Big drama today in the Tor community.

Conrad Rockenhaus, a Tor operator based out of Michigan, United States, was arrested in 2020 after refusing to cooperate with the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation

Rockenhaus, a disabled United States military veteran, ran the fastest Tor node in the United States. He was approached sometime in late 2019 when the FBI requested he allow them arbitrary access to his exit node and allow them to decrypt traffic. He denied their request.

Subsequently, in February, 2020 his home was raided. He was arrested for violating the CFAA (Computer Fraud and Abuse Act). It was alleged that he was a disgruntled ex-employee causing problems at his former place of employment.

Interestingly, to "help resolve the matter", law enforcement requested he decrypt his Tor exit node to prove his innocence (???). After he refused, he was held in a pre-trial detention cell for over 3 years. He was denied bail after law enforcement stated Mr. Rockenhaus used Linux to "access the dark web" and he was "not complying" and not allowing them access to this Tor exit node.

After Mr. Rockenhaus' wife filed an official complaint, and Mr. Rockenhaus was miraculously released, he was raided by the United States Marshal Fugitive Task Force TWO TIMES(???).

They took him out his home, threw him to the ground, beat him, smashed his windows, and threatened to murder his animals.

They are still requesting Mr. Rockenhaus allow them to access his Tor exit node. Mr. Rockenhaus still has not granted them that privilege.

All of this has been captured on home security camera footage. Additionally, his wife has released all court documents.

> In sieben europäischen Ländern ist Deutsch Amtssprache – zumindest in bestimmten Regionen. Dazu gehören neben Deutschland, Österreich, der Schweiz, Liechtenstein und Luxemburg auch noch Ostbelgien und Südtirol in Italien. In weiteren acht Ländern existiert es zumindest noch als Sprache einer Minderheit. Das sind Russland, die Ukraine, Ungarn, Rumänien, Polen, Tschechien, Frankreich und Dänemark...

> Doch ganz sicher ist Deutsch nach Russisch die Sprache mit den meisten Sprechern in Europa. Hinter Englisch und Spanisch hat es auch die meisten Interneteinträge.

I2P is mostly GPL, which is incompatible with Amethyst's MIT License. This will make things hard to integrate and ship them together with Tor :(
