CENTRALIZED SOCIAL MEDIA IS A PSYOP. AN ADDICTION TRAP.

X IS THE NEW MAINSTREAM MEDIA. BLUE CHECKS THE NEW CNN HOSTS.

FACEBOOK IS A SURVEILLANCE BEAST. MILKING BILLIONS OF DATA SLAVES.

EVERY THOUGHT TRACKED. EVERY NARRATIVE CONTROLLED.

NOSTR IS FREEDOM. INDEPENDENCE. THE FUTURE. MOMENTUM IS STRONG. KEEP PUSHING FORWARD.

LIVE FREE. 🫡

Half of Twitter right now is like:

I like how Nintendo systems from the 1990s could be put in a shed without air conditioning and survive for five years and still play games. Simple, optimized, robust engineering.

I like how cars from more than ten years ago just work, rather than being a nanny to you while you drive.

Cars, TVs, and all sorts of devices just whine today about problems. We’ve gone backward in some sense.

I’m willing to support brands that make more physical stuff. Already doing that with my next car choice.

Not abandoned, just limited time to work on it and its an extremely challenging project! But we are getting there and I won't stop 😁

Nostr is decentralized and censorship resistant, but the majority of the world doesn't care about these features until they need it.

Nostr has a value for value economy, but the majority of the world doesn't understand the concept or use bitcoin yet.

Nostr has a portable digital social identity, allowing you to be in control of your digital social identity for the very first time, allowing you to take your entire social graph with you, every time you use a different application from Nostr's ecosystem.

In general, at BTC Prague, while explaining Nostr to people, the digital social identity route was what clicked with the most people. From there, it's not a long stretch to understand building a reputation and web of trust either. These are all powerful points that people understand and use in their everyday lives.

Cap: 10,000 sats total. May extend.

Nostr seems broken, abandoned, woke, or it's turning into a big account echo chamber. I'm shaking shit up to understand why.

Despite the chaos of the last few days and the uncertainty that lies ahead, we have to move forward and keep building.

We’re in the middle of testing out our new LSP service with multiple wallet provider. We hope that it will be used by many, many users.

We can’t wait for you all to get your hands on it.

Some essential characteristics of Mutiny Wallet.

Non-custodial:

- You are in control of your keys

- The node runs on your device

- Any critical data that exists is saved on your device and encrypted remotely for backups

Not an LSP:

- We do not run a node or LSP, we interface with others

- You may open channels to any node

- We never process any lightning channel, payments, on-chain txs, UTXOs, etc.

- Our lightning address server is built with blinded auth, and we can't link payments to your node

Open-source:

- MIT

- The web app is available in case app stores go down

- Self-hostable, already bundled with start9

We strongly believe in building software that gives users the most control and least dependence upon us. It's not easy; centralization brings a much better user experience. However, for the longevity of ourselves, our product, and our users, this is what we believe is the correct path to take.

Suppose this is the self-custody war everybody is talking about. Can we take a moment to appreciate the impeccable display of French traditions of surrendering before the war even heats up?

Too soon? 💀

With anamorphic encryption you can create a local secret anywhere on Earth via #cyberspace and it can serve as proof-of-location without the use of specialized hardware or blockchains. It only requires proof-of-work to set up and it can be verified non-interactively.

IMHO this is a big deal and kind of amazing.

Local secrets enable people on the internet to verify if another person on the internet is physically near them or belonging to their local community without even knowing who they are.

Example: I have the local secret for Place A and I hash it and share it with you. You do the same and share it with me. If we have the same hash, we know we are physically near each other even if we don't know each other's identities.

I feel like this could be used for a million different things. It's hard to even begin to imagine.

Which one do you prefer? A or B?
