That’s based. Thanks for the explanation, I’ll figure it out asap. Honey badgers, ostriches, and porcupines are my favorite covertly political animals haha

How did you put NOSTR Pleb in your bio with the Ostrich?

Hi 👋🏻 guys. There are problems to solve in life.

Now, I can just connect to #Nostr and read your notes

Final step before serving. #foodstr

I prefer truly ephemeral chats in most cases. Even on SimpleX and Signal—unless I'm talking to family or clients—I have notes set to disappear in 24 hours and screenshotting disabled for many (not perfect, but it's better).

I feel like people can talk more freely, just like in real conversation, when they know that everything won't be easily copied, recorded, and hanging out on someone else's server somewhere.

I find it funny that we've had public chats for nearly 3 years and they're mostly dead, but ephemeral chats are all the rage right now. Why is that?

A network is either permissionless or authoritarian. Open or closed. Censorship-resistant or censored.

Open networks inevitably run into the issue of spam and impersonation. Sybill attacks, DDoS attacks, resource exhaustion, and worse.

It's tempting to solve these issues in a centralized (read: authoritarian) way. But this just introduces new problems, turning the open network into a closed one.

These issues can't be solved perfectly. However, a clever combination of PoW + WoT will solve most of them, and yes, I include sats in this equation implicitly, because sats are just difficulty-adjusted PoW.

Identity has to be cryptographic, which means taken and defended, as opposed to given. Keys, not accounts.

Money has to be money proper, which means a bearer instrument as opposed to credit linked to an account. Cash, not credit.

Keys and sats have the power to usher in a new era of the internet. We must be careful to not repeat the mistakes of the past, however. It will take time. But it's fundamentally possible, and we're slowly but surely getting there. Key by key. Sat by sat. Npub by npub.

The Web is dead. Long live the web 🤙

Buenos días
