I responded to your Monero comment and didn't say a single word about samourai or your beloved brown knots in my original comment. But youre still seething too hard about someone else in another comment thread to read correctly. Yes, you should pay attention. Yea that's very different from me saying that I said you can "stop a monero update" by swapping (All we have to do is scroll up and read to prove you wrong).
How do Monero users "swim through swamps of KYC" if it is delisted everywhere? Choose an argument. Are we "celebrating being delisted" everywhere? Or are we not being delisted? Make up your mind. The fuck. You can use a DEX, you don't have to KYC and bend over every time they ask you to. But hey man if thats your thing I'm not judging.
Your entire LN rube goldberg network that no one uses without custodians or LSPs that can see everything they do is a tenth the size of Monero. Liquid is 99.9% empty blocks. And all your coinjoin protocols combined are still smaller than Monero. It's sad. Bitcoin is 99% p2p larps, speculators, and tradfi.
We can pick apart the totally bullshit "70% self run" LN nodes by just looking at how many Bitcoin nodes exist vs Bitcoin users. You're telling me that even though only a tiny fraction of Bitcoin users run their own simple nodes...those same users suddenly decide to deal with all the complexities of running an LN node? What are you smoking? Sounds fun
I'll humor you. Let's say that were true. Sybil attacks have absolutely zero effect on Monero encrypted amounts and receivers, but you're probably too stupid to know that. "Hey some user sent Monero", "How much?", "Dunno", "To who?", "Dunno". Sounds devastating! lmfao
Meanwhile poor saps are being thrown in prison for a Bitcoin transaction they made 10+ years ago (not hypothetical).
The computer you're running your bitcoin wallet or node on has AMD or Intel chips, genius. Vast majority of ASICs come from two manufacturers so I guess that makes us both huh?
'LN rube goldberg network'
thats a perfect description. Hilarious because its true. thanks!
Is ODELL 8 years old?
The payment processo also leaves ID trace and IP leaks, eg alby.
Email is IP aware and hard to secure, even with VPN. Throw away ones are not useful long term.
They don't want you to do that. Or they wouldn't ask for your email.
No it isn't. With a private browser you can use duckduckgo and even google without logging in. Kagi is the ONLY search engine I know of where you have to register and log in to use.
I'd rather do a private (tor or vpn) not logged in search on google/duckgo than a non private registered search anywhere else.
Feel free to trust Kagi not to use your data or profile yoy, I see no reason why you would trust that more than duckduckgo.
Whatever happened to 'Don't trust, verify' that used to be the rallying cry of open source/ privacy advocates.
So why don't you trust the Orion browser?
Its laughable that a search engine requires personal data about you before you can use it. And a pinky promise they won't associate the data with your account. I find it odd that decentralised nostr bitcoin types are supportive of these kinds of closed projects with same data gathering capabilities as google et al?
They pinky promise 'We will be good stewards of any personal information you share with us. We do not log or associate searches with an account.'
How is that much better than trusting a closed source browser?
Its laughable that a search engine requires personal data about you before you can use it. I'm sure it works well, but then again so does gmail.
Lets face it, govnts can ban anything on the internet easily , without effort. Decentralization alone isn't going to help one iota. If you need an IP address to access information, its easy for govnts to kill it. NOSTR is not censorship resistant with online clients. The ONLY way around around this is Tor (and less securely, and only in some instances, VPN). The internet 'dark web' will be needed by most people to do lots of basic stuff that's legal today. All decentralised open source projects need to focus heavily on Onion and Veilid clients if they are serious about decentralizing anything.
If you're not using https://github.com/mikedilger/gossip you're missing on an absurd amount of speed and smoothness a web app cannot ever deliver.
no browser vpn support
This sounds a like a good compromise solution. Also, I kinda like community notes on Twitter, wish that could be implemented in a similar way.
Does this prohibit the possibility of being able to delete (or edit) notes on Nostr in the foreseeable future. Also won't relays need vast amounts of storage to hold copies of every post on Nostr. Rather like a blockchain
If a client reposts illegal eg copyrighted content to another relay, won't that relay owner now become an accomplice to the crime and legally accountable for its distribution? I foresee legal complications for automatically reposting things from one relay to the next.
Doesn't this mean every relay will end up a copy of every post. Won't that make the data requirements for hosting a relay prohibitively expensive for most, thus centralising relays into the hands of big tech firms in the long term if Nostr does become popular?
Can someone explain to me what the gossip model is please? In simple terms how is it different to the original Nostr relay model.
Thanks
cryptomus is the same. The whole point of crypto is to have permissionless direct payments, not to rely on 3rd party buinesses providing custodial services . So again, I ask where can buy something with crypto directly online as per the orginal vision of Satoshi, with no custodial third party ?
you have to signup and register to use coinpayments, its not permisionless, its custodial.
