Just an engineer studying technology and money. Moreover, the translator of Argentarius.

It’s always the same with the people claiming „Nostr isn’t innovative and not censorship“ resistant.

They need to redefine censorship from well, censorship to „if I cannot force everybody to listen, it’s censorship“

Equality of outcome is the opposite of equality of outcome. „Equality“ has become bastardized into meaning the latter lately.

Keine Sorge, arbeite ja nebenbei. Ist nur eine halbe Gehirnzelle, die ich dafür investiere.

Tips for Relays.

Forget about having a thousand and one relays.

The first option is to pay for nostr.wine, it allows you to use the filter.nostr.wine filter. The filter works both requesting events from other relays and sending events to other relays. In case you want to send events to other relays you have to add the relay with the following syntax:

wss://filter.nostr.wine/REPLACE_WITH_YOUR_NPUB?broadcast=true

Reading list:

wss://relay.damus.io

wss://nos.lol

wss://relay.current.fyi

wss://brb.io

wss://nostr.oxtr.dev

wss://relay.nostr.bg

wss://no.str.cr

wss://nostr.mom

wss://nostr.zebedee.cloud

wss://relay.plebstr.com

wss://offchain.pub

Writing list:

wss://relay.damus.io

wss://nos.lol

wss://relay.snort.social

wss://nostr.oxtr.dev

wss://relay.nostr.bg

wss://nostr.fmt.wiz.biz

wss://nostr.mom

wss://nostr.zebedee.cloud

wss://no.str.cr

wss://relay.plebstr.com

wss://offchain.pub

The next special relay is relay.nostr.band. This relay reads events from all relays and applies a spam filter, in the case of writing you only write to relay.nostr.band but it is a good complement to add content to relay filter.nostr.wine as it only requests events from your contacts and your contacts' contacts. It is not clear to me from which relay is requesting the events as the code is not available.

And finally the relay nostr.mutinywallet.com. This relay uses blastr which is a nostr cloudfare worker proxy that publishes to all known relays. Basically what it does is to read the list of online relays from nostr.watch and all events are queued to be executed in batches by another worker that rotates every 30s if there is an event queued, or once a certain amount of events are queued. In this case the relay is write-only.

In short, your relays could be reduced to 4:

wss://nostr.wine

wss://filter.nostr.wine/REPLACE_WITH_YOUR_NPUB?broadcast=true

wss://relay.nostr.band

wss://nostr.mutinywallet.com

With them you save bandwidth and battery, actually filter.nostr.wine in write mode and nostr.mutinywallet are redundant, but I put the two because nostr.mutinywallet.com has more amplitude because it publishes in all the online relays of nostr.watch and also because it has high availability in case of failure of any of the two relays mentioned above.

The same case is applicable in the case of reading for filter.nostr.wine and relay.nostr.band.

Although I still use 7, not just 4

Funnily enough YouTube uses much more power and I basically always have Damus open with YT in PiP only these days.

Also after I streamlined my relays, Damus uses basically negligible amounts of data.

Congrats #[2]​ great work.

Yes, but from my perspective Umbrel is the biggest danger to it, because they try to make users be like apple users and give up all control.

The question is only if Umbrel is better than Apple.

They started quite open and now are even less open and transparent than Apple.

It’s crazy how people underestimate what will happen during the next halvings…

Look at the Hashrate. All these miners coming online largely pay their bills in Fiat.

Do you think they all are stupid and will go bankrupt?

Or do they know what will happen?

Nostr is the perfect solution. Any algo can feed on the data and advertise to us, if and only if we want it.

But a lot of work is still needed before this will become real.

Whirlpool leaves deterministic links because it peels the change during the tx0 used to create sized equal outputs. I just unmixed the Whirlpool transaction from your screenshot to reveal the change: https://mempool.space/tx/323df21f0b0756f98336437aa3d2fb87e02b59f1946b714a7b09df04d429dec2

Address bc1qgwv9hn979rex0rhfp3cknfdkyrgk04493gclvv belonging to Whirlpool input 1 created 0.01346981 BTC in traceable change which has 100% deterministic links to bc1qjy3zud5c7qypvgccgvptvaxkcsg6g4jl3u4tdy

Address bc1q528pyda90y4j9nuqrcm65rlxz9txljtn208dqm belonging to Whirlpool input 3 created 0.01971146 BTC in traceable change which has 100% deterministic links to bc1q50akm6ggcwgjext09tuz0rcl6cya2huu70pef4

Feel free to post any other Whirlpool tx ids and I'll unmix them too.

Ne careful out there. Just because you bought P2P on the internet and coinjoin does not mean you are safe.

The peer might be a Fed and the coinjoin may now or in 20 years be reversed.
