The South Dakota #Goldback series is now available! This is the 5th state to join the network.

The online safety bill is about to be passed in the UK and it is an insane bill. It will require online platform providers to implement and #DigitalID system for all their users and to install government-approved software so the UK government can access all content and communications of their users. Penalties and fines both for platform providers and users are steep. With this bill, the UK wants to end online #privacy and #anonymity.
Will they succeed?

It will probably require a custodian such as the UPMA.

It looks like #Haveno the decentralized #Monero-focused exchange will be supporting #Goldbacks. Buying/selling #XMR for #XGB will be soon possible. Nice!

If you compare the #Bip300 / #drivechains debate between #X and #Nostr, they look quite different. This is probably a combination of who is on which platform and algo content selection.
I understand your point but #privacy advocates have been bullied by #X / #Twitter for years now. A lot of #crypto folks who don’t adhere to a given narrative have been shadow-banned. The game is rigged and I’m not sure that being present on a rigged platform really makes such a difference. It can do it on the margin but X algos are good at not letting powerful narratives out of the echo chamber. It’s a long road but like for #CBDC, I think the only way to combat those systems is to have a critical mass opting out of them.
Isn’t #democracy the #decentralization of political power? What better system do you suggest to decentralize political power then?
#ElonMusk is like a politician passing authoritarian orders and embezzling tax payer money under the pretext of saving lives or helping the poor shamelessly gaslighting his constituants.
#Twitter #X
It gets to show you what his plan has been from the start. Another #ConspiracyTheory becoming true.
#Twitter #X
So #ElonMusk is finally seriously moving forward with his plan to transform #Twitter into the #X everything app by announcing that every user will have to pay a small monthly fee supposedly to combat bots. We know the goal is to #KYC every user by linking their financial info. It’s going to be interesting to observe to which degree users will be willing to comply. We may see a massive influx of new users to #Nostr.
One thing I’ve noticed when offering #goldbacks is that they leave no one indifferent. People reactions range between suspicion and ecstasy but often strongly lean towards one or the other side of the spectrum.
- suspicion: people barely want to touch the #goldback or even look at the it. They think you’re trying to scam them. They see the note as nothing more than a piece of plastic whereas they much prefer receiving a piece of paper.
- ecstasy: people have no idea what it is or how much it is worth but they are in love with the apparence of the shinny note. It’s almost like they just won a Willy Wonka golden ticket. Receiving a goldback made their day.
In my experience, 20% lean towards being suspicious and the remaining 80% lean towards being ecstatic.

This looks like a bug not a feature…

You’ll see that those are substantially thicker and heavier. Also they may not fit in a regular wallet (there is a #goldback wallet). They are good for storing. For paying I’d rather use smaller denominations unless you’re purchasing a big ticket item of course.
1/20 of a Troy ounce.
Yes they come in 1, 5, 10, 25 and 50 denominations. All #goldbacks are fungible meaning that two 5 #goldback notes contain the same amount of gold as one 10 goldback note.
I have yet to but some.
As I still feel like gold prices are heavily manipulated.
But I like the idea.
Also regarding the manipulation of the price of #gold, keep in mind that the premium is as important as the spot price. Although the spot price can be manipulated, the premium is up to free markets. There is a reason people are willing to pay about 100% over spot price for a #goldback. There is no limit to how high this premium can rise.

That’s a good point, and I think it should help preserve your notes. However, most relays don’t seem to have that as an obligation (i.e. they might purge notes that are older than a set amount of time).
Maybe check out this tool if you haven’t already: https://nostryfied.online
It’s supposed to broadcast your notes to more relays, but more importantly, back them up. Still on the lookout for how to use the backup file tho.

Thanks, I haven’t tried this service yet but I’ll check it out.

Yes, the price of #gold is being suppressed through paper gold contracts. Some say this state of affair can’t be maintained forever and although I agree, the timeline as to when it will happen is unclear. I wouldn’t necessarily buy #goldbacks to become wealthy (although I think they have the potential to lead to this outcome) but rather to hedge against the coming #CBDC and other measures aiming to control what you can do with your money. It’s also a good hedge against #inflation. It’s really easy to transact with goldbacks. They will be a great replacement for #cash when it will be phased out.

One thing I really like about #goldbacks is that the government doesn’t have the power to deprecate a #goldback note as they can do with a USD note (as the Indian government did not too long ago). If the US government says that tomorrow $100 bills are now worth $0, everybody will stop accepting $100 bills. No one can claim that a goldback note is $0 because the notes will still contain the #gold and will remain fungible with other goldback notes.
