Multisig seed storage is not discussed enough.

“Soft-Fork/Covenant Dependent Layer 2 Review”

I've finally published my big article sponsored by Fulgur Ventures, analyzing all the main covenant proposals, and the L2 proposals that would use them.

tl;dr: Ark is pretty cool, and CTV is a good way to get it.

I got set a time for reading this one

Dia pro Grêmio ganhar bem. Vamo!

The craziest thing about the Brazilian X censorship is how little my normie friends and family seem to care. Everyone knows I am a bitcoiner and open source/free tech advocate. I haven't seen a single comment about this in my WhatsApp groups (both family and friends) and no one came to talk to me about it. I think they got used to it already.

This is probably an unpopular opinion…but let’s see..

Elon’s smartest move right now would actually be to ally with Zuck…

Hear me out…

An overwhelmingly large percentage of the Brazilian population literally LIVE on WhatsApp and IG. I’m not just talking their friends, and scrolling. I mean this is how almost EVERY business runs. They don’t have websites down here. They build their entire digital presences on those two apps.

If Zuckerberg’s transformation is real (dunno if I’m convinced, but who knows - crazier things have happened) and he allows for the kind of content X allowed to spread in Brazil, this Alexandre monkey would be STUCK.

There’s no WAY he could shut access to that down, without the entire country stopping. Literally nothing would work.

This is a GREAT moment for Nostr, but we’ve still got a loooooong way to go before the network and the apps on it are robust.

In fact, similar to Wikileaks in the early days, we probably don’t want to draw too much attention right now to Nostr apps bc while the protocol itself is hard to censor, as was just seen, it’s very easy to censor an app.

Granted, it’s a bit like playing wackamole with Nostr, but once again, we’re not there yet. There probably needs to be 10x more *really good* apps, before we could even hope to sustain a forced shutdown in any country for that matter.

——-

Before anyone says “yeah but they’re only stopping themselves from getting on Nostr”

Duh…obviously. But these maniacs are also fucking over the very people who live in these countries and require some form of connectivity.

So anyway. Possibly an unpopular opinion, but I think this would be a very interesting strategic play.

And if you play out the scenario, there’s a good chance that idiot de Moraes here in Brazil ends up trapped between:

1. Having to allow X to operate again, or

2. trying to apply the same pressure to WhatsApp / IG

3. allowing IG/Whatsapp to spread uncensored info, and thus losing his ability to censor anyway

All three scenarios, he loses.

Curious to hear what a few people think on this.

I think you got a point there. It is absolutely true that everything digital runs on WhatsApp ans Instagram in Brazil. So are you in brazil right now?

o fato eh que o algoritimo do twitter faz a diferença na experiencia. mas vale a pena tentar achar a melhor forma de usar nostr na minha opiniao.
