The world is at war.

The hurricane response has been poor.

Port workers on strike.

Inflation is high.

Middle class decimated.

We need new leadership.

We need ppl to stop watching TV, and consuming MSM propaganda in general.

Any new leaders we elect within this system will fail. Some more than others.

NEW CLIENT ANNOUNCEMENT

https://m.primal.net/LDNn.mp4

I wanted to build on nostr and I asked OpenSats for a grant to work on ONOSENDAI one day per week. I scaled back my hours at my fiat job and began part time nostr development to work on a novel metaverse project where all actions require proof of work. This was the beginning of my nostr career. Today is a huge milestone in that journey.

It took me 52 Fridays from proof of concept to reality, and now ONOSENDAI functions as the first cyberspace client.

Today I present to you the thermodynamic update to #ONOSENDAI https://onosendai.tech

#welcometocyberspace folks. It's finally here. Check it out on desktop for the best experience. More updates for a better Mobile experience are in the pipeline.

I'm working on a video to explain cyberspace and how to use ONOSENDAI and I'll post it ASAP.

The short tutorial is this:

- WASD for movement (relative to camera)

- Q = down, E = up

- ESC to put camera behind avatar

- Mouse Click and drag to move camera

- Mouse Wheel to change Throttle

Sections of the app:

LOCAL

This is the on-the-ground cyberspace view. The shiny polygon you begin your journey in is your Home Coordinate, which is simply your hex pubkey. Your journey always starts here if you derezz (or get derezzed) at any point, but your progress is saved to nostr and your avatar will travel even when you're away from the app!

SECTOR

This is the 10,000ft view of cyberspace. Nearby sectors are automatically scanned for objects of interest and mapped in 3D: other avatars, hyperjumps, shards, and constructs (coming soon).

GLOBAL

This is the 100,000,000ft view of cyberspace. The staggeringly large full coordinate system is shown.

BUILD

This tab is a 3D editor that lets you build 3D objects called Shards. Shards can be mined and planted wherever you are at in cyberspace for everyone to admire. In the LOCAL tab you can mine and deploy a Shard at your current position. The size and complexity of the shard determines its mining difficulty.

Terminology:

- coord - a cyberspace coordinate is a 256-bit number, just like event ids and public keys.

- chain - the nostr events representing your movement which contain proof-of-work and are linked together via hash

- sector - a 2^30 cube area of cyberspace

- G - Gibson, the unit of measurement in cyberspace named after William Gibson (the author who invented the concept of cyberspace)

- plane - The last bit in a cyberspace coordinate determines its plane. Depending on your pubkey you will either be in D-Space or I-Space. You will be able to switch planes in a future update. All points in D-Space map to a real point in reality, including Earth. All points in I-Space are virtual.

Despite the polish I was able to muster, ONOSENDAI is still in its infancy, and so is cyberspace. It's up to you to explore, build, discover, and push it forward, because unlike other metaverses, this one belongs to everyone and is controlled by no-one. That's the whole point!

I would like to invite all #cyberspace enthusiasts to join my new ditto instance at https://straylight.cafe and use your nostr identity to ask questions, discuss cyberspace, futurism, and how to build this new world together. I think it's going to be a lot of fun. I want to shut down the ONOSENDAI telegram group in favor of Straylight Café because it's nostr based, so hop on over and make it happen!

When you join Straylight.cafe, it isn't connected to any external relays on purpose, so you must edit your profile and customize it for how you want your npub to appear on this site. Whatever you post on Straylight stays there and doesn't go out to the rest of nostr unless you do so manually. It's like an open telegram group -- public, but not broadcasted by default.

And so concludes my OpenSats grant. I want to thank so many people for supporting me, encouraging me, and helping me along this journey.

I am going to try to list everyone I can and I apologize if I miss someone:

OpenSats and the whole team there

This is just the beginning. Nostr isn't just for tweets. It's for cyberspace, and I think that's a big deal. Thanks everyone 👾💜

Dare I say I am off games and fake reality?

I've spent the equivalent of 2 to 3 years of full time work playing Warcraft and Civilization and it was fun but nowhere close to the satisfaction from real life achievements, however small.

Congrats on proving your mettle and delivering a product. What will you do next? ;)

How do you have patience with people when you see your government putting all of the pieces together to literally destroy the lives of millions and then have to see people cheer for it, having no clue what they are doing?

I feel like I’m just getting angrier and shorter tempered with anyone pushing their political bullshit and it’s getting harder to reel it in.

Maybe I’m just in a bad mood with things that have been happening lately and I’m focusing on the wrong things, but Jesus it’s frustrating as hell.

The best you can do is teach where possible and ignore stupidity rather than fight it.

About a year or so ago I thought the future is in altcoins and BTC is just an initial stab at what we need. People can change :)

So embarrassing & narrow minded from the Dutch organizers of Bitcoin Amsterdam. 😡😳🤦🏻‍♀️

You’re probably not aware of this, if you’re not on X. See all screenshots.

I watched Eva in an interview with someone at the height of the Dutch farmer's protests and really liked what she had to say.

The way the EU is looking to shut down some of the most efficient food producers in the world for far fetched environmental reasons reminds me of the insanity and counter productiveness of safety measures during COVID.

I hope the Dutch organizers realize how ridiculous it is to censor someone fighting state overreach at a BTC conference.

The environment affected by a nuclear power plant can be seen in a photo, to show the environment affected by a field of wind generators would require thousands of photos.

All right, environmentalists, most of you have never set foot in the mountains in your life and do not realize the damage you are doing.

Hmmm, I know so many EV owners, including ourselves, we live in the UK and have never known any vehicles to explode. If the rise in regular car fires jumped up, that would never get reported in this way. People are more likely to be concerned by the unreliable public charging network we’ve got than this. Scaremongering!!

nix 1y ago

You are right to an extent.

The title is a bit attention seeking and the actual numbers are less scary: 89 incidents involving cars in 2022, and 118 in 2023.

Spread across a million cars in the UK it is not a lot, but it is a risk and it can cause major problems where lots of cars are parked in small places, like airports.

I am certain an EV was the cause for the recent fire in Luton airport in spite of the nonsensical official cause.

I graduated veterinary medicine, left my country to study psychology & did 200 hours of analysis, became a builder, then moved into IT and was employed as a penetration tester for 4 years. A few smaller jobs scattered in between.

I've enjoyed the variety for sure, but it comes at a cost. It is easier to earn if you are concentrating and specializing.

nix 1y ago

I don't bother putting it all on a CV, just the IT stuff is varied and long enough lol.

HR ppl look for clear cut specialists.

I am looking to switch from pentesting to python coding right now, and can't make it to an interview as I don't have a Python Developer position in my CV...

I'm past doctoring CVs though so may have to go back to cyber security, if my business ventures keep failing lol.

My CV is hilariously long if I add those six universities and five absolutely different professions.

But at least I started stuff, imho it's better than never trying just to feel safe. Proud loser.🤌

I did get mine, with two years delay. By that time I had discovered graphene so sold it straight away, at about 40% loss. There were a few of the on eBay.
