Truth social valued at approx $4bn. congrats to nostr:npub108pv4cg5ag52nq082kd5leu9ffrn2gdg6g4xdwatn73y36uzplmq9uyev6 on becoming a bajilionaire
I have no stock in the company.
The CI server in my living room when me and nostr:npub122glfka8k4m5p8g5radee5hmhmh620slp5jyt7fhwvcjs6nd7azq722h6e push code to it at the same time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LEEtU0os8h4
I got all the medals in Mario Wonder and then the final-final level showed up, but I don't think I'm doing this bros.
ON BLASTR:
The main problem I have with blastr (nostr:npub1t0nyg64g5vwprva52wlcmt7fkdr07v5dr7s35raq9g0xgc0k4xcsedjgqv) is that it works too well. So well that lots of nostr software is broken and the developers don't even know it is broken because blastr fixes it for them. It is like everybody is riding their bicycles with training wheels on, and we don't have a clear idea who what software would fall over if the training wheels came off.
If events were not being copied (at least for a while) then the community of devs could find and fix the insufficiencies. But is that a pipe dream?
Secondarily, I don't like the inefficiencies of copying events all over the place and I think that won't scale as nostr grows. But that is a self-correcting problem.
ON THE INBOX MODEL:
Outbox model is now also being challenged by "inbox model" (https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/discussions/1134, https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/1135). I think these relay usage patterns can co-exist.
These models of following people have different properties. Compared to the outbox model, the inbox model has these properties:
* The publisher improves their reach by pushing their events to many relays
* It is easy to see and count who is following the publisher
* The publisher can cut you off, and you cannot follow someone secretly under this model
* Readers only have to read from their own approved relays, not random ones they might not trust. This might also be nice for power-limited phones.
* Worse overhead because events are copied to all the recipient relays, which might be a lot of copies.
* It is not clear where reactions and replies go, or if everybody participating in a converstaion sees the reactions/replies of everybody else participating

This is actually the reason ActivityPub chose to do it. This is a feature, not a bug, to them.
Inbox and outbox need to coexist to get all the benefits of Nostr.
Every man dreams of staring directly into the sun.

I am building upon and investing in Lightning. But I feel like a sane person should also be looking into future possibilities.

People are highly critical of it these days, for good reason. I think we need to be exploring other possibilities.
What is the best alternative to Lightning right now? Bitcoin only.
I thought they were friends.

What domain should I use? zuckislovezuckislife.com?
Mark Zuckerberg blocked gleasonator.com before federating his profile. I will have to fetch from a different domain.
I hope that Hasbro fires all artists of Magic: The Gathering and generates new card sets with ChatGPT + Midjourney gaining a 99% profit margin.
