no response to my questions, seems to be a common theme for the pro-PR crowd!

Love him or hate him, you gotta give it to nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx for still hanging around after all these years without burning out. Not easy
he bailed on real discussions with dissidents on twitter to be here in his echo chamber of praise.
let me know what i am missing thanks
not to mention the conflicts of the people who are spearheading the discussion for the âpro-PRâ side
itâs not about full-stop prevention, it is about allowing choice to node runners, keeping incentives aligned for monetary transactions (no reason to make clearly identifiable spam easier), cultural norms in development and discussion surrounding interventionism in the code base.
please tell me wherever I am wrong

GM #nostr if you arenât engaged with the Bitcoin Core discussion right now you arenât paying enough attention.
go to twitter and share your voice, the people who need to hear it are not here đ¤ˇââď¸
there is a huge discussion happening on twitter.
content is signed by nsec, the signature is then verified with the npub, so yes you need both to post anything to nostr.
any unsigned or unverified content will be rejected by nostr relays/clients
go to twitter and engage in these types of threads, vocally support Knots (you donât even have to run it imo but running it is a strong signal), vocally detest shitcoins and educate on their detriments
He attacks Bitcoin
This motivates a major change to Bitcoin
In the resulting discussion on github, he approves of this change (that is motivated by his attack)
If you point out this conflict of interest - no matter how politely - you will be banned.
nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx hope you're paying attention to all this
even if heâs paying attention heâs not doing shit by siloing himself here
this is the brilliance of cryptography, in essence the âuniquenessâ doesnât need to be ensured.
the npub that can be trusted has all posts signed by a valid signature from its nsec.
so long as the post is signed, the npub is verified to âbelongâ to the nsec.
even if someone had custom derived 1 million npubs from their nsec, each new npub requires a signature to be trustworthy.
all posts on nostr are signed or they are not valid! so thereâs no database needed, only a protocol which ensures that strong cryptography is being used.
now, you canât verify that new npubs are unique human beings in real life, but that is why in the information age we must verify the content provided and not concern ourselves only for sources.
if you are making a legitimate post and you put a buzzbot bounty on it you are retarded.
canât see any signal through a wall of âpay meâ noise
yes and no,
and unfortunately I am bridging knowledge from bitcoin here and not aware of the details for nostr keys specifically so take this all with a huge grain of salt.
the (single) nsec is used to derive the (single) npub with secp256k1 cryptography, which is the same as bitcoin priv/pub keys. so it is one-for-one, and only the one npub will exist for the nsec.
in bitcoin, BIP-32 added hierarchical deterministic derivation, which treats the secret key as a master key and generates sub-keys (additional private keys) which are unique and can be used to generate their own public keys.
this is effectively unlimited.
but in nostr, there is no BIP-32 equivalent to my knowledge, meaning we do not have a standard for generating HD derivations.
in theory, you can still generate them yourself.
but in practice, because this is not a standard for the nostr protocol, this would mean you are creating multiple nsec/npub pairs and would have to figure out how to generate them in a compatible format to what your client is accepting for valid keys.
otherwise to integrate your ânew keysâ (which all come from and are usable with your âmasterâ private key) in a seamless way you would have to create your own client and introduce a bunch of non-standard stuff..
i believe this is how it works but again could be completely wrong.
basically we need a NIP-32 equivalent and then HD derivations could allow all this âby defaultâ for nostr clients
not sure what you mean, there is one npub per nsec unless nostr includes derivation paths?
the npub can be shared endlessly but you will have to use the nsec for anything that actually requires signing (like making a post)
gm, if thereâs any #monero #xmr people here can you please explain yourselves?
why be poor for no reason? #asknostr
just vibing
cashu is a protocol for ecash which can be minted by anyone.
the mints interoperate using the lightning network.
each of these are mints where you can generate ecash by depositing lightning.
the ecash can then be held and traded privately and redeemed for lightning from any mint.
