I wish more devs understood that stability and functionality are more important than early releases.

#nostrudel can be hosted on #oonion.

It is even included in #start9

Nobody wants to be forcibly evicted from the place where their friends are. It’s asking a lot for people to pack up and start over.

With NIP-54's recent downgrade to asciidoc yeah it might be another 12 years for nostr lol

With the current state of tech education, it's probably still 12 years for bitcoin too

"why aren't people using bitcoin" - me for 14 years

"why aren't people using nostr" - me for 2 years

It's going to be another 12 years for nostr isn't it 😭

oh well, lots of time to build stuff. bitcoin NGU should help fund the latter at least :D

Wiki is key. People will come and go, nostr apps relying on their own relays and shit can rise and fall without contributing to the wider nostr ecosystem; until a decentralized wiki is fully developed and has multiple different versions of most content from Wikipedia, Fandom wikis, etc.

At that point, people will be quickly turning towards the decentralized web.

Masses follow brands and smooth use cases. So, until there’s a rock solid app/brand that pulls them in without a learning curve and with no tech overhead, they’re not going to flock to a protocol that’s a word they aren’t even sure how to say.

Nostr is a protocol. The masses didn’t flock to HTTP, FTP, SMTP, or IMAP, nor do they seem to be to NOSTR.

They took up AOL, Netscape, Yahoo!, GMail, and other use case tools. The nerds yelled, “you don’t get it, SMTP is the true invention”, while everyone else just heard a sultry voice alert them, “You’ve got mail.”

I downloaded Nos and ditched twitter. I downloaded Primal and ditched Reddit. I downloaded and migrated to Fountain from Overcast.

But, my friends that don’t play with tech are somewhere else, and they don’t see my posts. I have 21 followers here that I don’t know in the real world. This is an isolated bubble at this point. Although I want it to work, there’s nobody here for me that enhances my real world relationships, yet. I can’t seem to find others near me in Nos. I can’t search Primal and reliably find others that share my interests. If you’re on Nostr, you’re still early.

And anyway, when the masses arrive, half of them are going to get scammed out of their nsec’s if we don’t solve that loss permanency for them before they get here.

If you weren't naive, you wouldn't be complaining about that people are flowing to Bluesky instead of Nostr.

You think that most people are sophisticated enough to magically grasp that organically decentralized protocols fare better than "centralized platforms" in a context of censorship ?

Get your fingers out of your anuses, guys.

Technology adoption is not necessarily driven by "rationality". Think about people who still traveled on horseback even if cars were far superior.

I'm starting to think I need a Bluesky account, so i can market for nostr from within.

using #nostr through #tor seems to be fairly ok for #privacy too

the easiest option by far is web client through tor browser,

#grapheneos and tor-native app surely too

maybe add #onion relays

maybe paid ones to keep spam at bay

and if paid then in #monero

I'll see if newpipe will let me encode to webm. 👍🏾🔥

Perhaps a new #introduction is needed. I’m Nick Percoco. I’m the Chief Security Officer at Kraken. I’m responsible for all things security, IT, fraud and client support. I’ve been working in the crypto industry for 6 years and have 27 years of experience overall. What would you like to hear from me about on #nostr?

I used pipewire to find and rip from yt. Then, I save in a ratio under 25mb. Then, uploaded via Amethyst. Normally, I'd just use my blossom or voidcat servers, but I'm on mobile, today. I did it so we all can just use nostr, instead of a link that takes us back to yt.

We have to kill corporate social media by making them obsolete.

This isn't true.

Why? Because AI's are software, and software can't hold private keys.

Think about it. Imagine you are a software program, and you want to hold bitcoin. What are you going to do with your private key, such that the person who is running the computer you are on can't get it?

You could encrypt your private key, but then what are you going to do with the key to that encryption? Encrypting the key leads you down an infinite regress that gets you nowhere, because ultimately you have to have at least one final key that isn't encrypted.

There is a deep principle involved here, and that is: to utilize encryption YOU MUST BE ABLE TO PHYSICALLY SECURE YOUR PRIVATE KEY.

You have to place your key somewhere where no other entity can physically access it, either because it is hidden, or because it is physically impossible to access.

To have and hold #bitcoin or a #nostr account, you have to be a computer or even better a robot/human. You can't simply be software.

So in the article, the AI's don't hold the crypto. Whomever holds the computer that the AI's are running on, holds the crypto.

Cryptographic keys are philosophically very deep. There is a lot there to explore, in terms of identity, and what it means to be human.

What kind of music do you think Satoshi coded to?

Used nostrudel for the first time today. What the fuck.

Let me be even clearer:

FUCK ALL FREEDOM-HATING WHATEVERS
