LTS release yesterday LFG!!! Federated contract enforcement is HUGELY underrated

"AI generated content is dangerous because people won't be able to know what is real and what isn't!"

So you're saying that people will be forced to be sceptical of everything and think critically? 😨

Happy Year of our Bitcoin 0015! Bitcoin is still a chaotic teenager. If it were a person, it couldn't even drive yet. It'd be 6 months away from getting its permit, which feels rather fitting as mainstream/institutional adoption is likely to start in the next year or so. Hang on y'all, it's about to get WILD.

I'm very excited for Fedimint-based contracts! It will be a game changer.

Literally was just talking with my wife earlier today about how I think rallies and protests are generally useless in this clown world we live in, and how I'd rather focus on building freedom tech 😅

If nostr:npub1g0587hzzckcncxfm78n0996qe2s58nspy29wf02tqcj5sdzcpj4q6j40hv's thesis about an internet reset/cleanse plays out, it’s time to create an internet archive on nostr.

Facts, events, knowledge, tools, etc. that we don’t want to lose need to be in a decentralized archive.

Is anybody building this?

Are there torrents of such archives? I think that could be a better tool. Maybe start one with a recent data dump of Wikipedia and another with a recent open-weight language model like Mistral 8x7B.

The creation of the Federal Reserve was the US Dollar's switch from proof of work to proof of stake. Ethereum is over a century late to the party.

Has anyone messed around with storing Nostr notes in reverse indexes? Thinking about trying this out with Meilisearch to improve searchability across Nostr but I don't want to reinvent the wheel.

It's been a blast to be a part of this team. I'm super excited to see where the project goes from here! nostr:note1msuxztec079drcdm68expzzyukfeeynja3dk6ktyq6g5se0q37rsrlulwd

The average American also spends 2.5 hours per day watching TV. Half of Americans *choose not to be prepared for* a $400 expense.

If you remove responsibility from others, you remove it from yourself too.

Nostr notes are just self-contained packets of data with a verifiable sender. You can transfer Nostr messages over any interface. Wifi, Ethernet, Bluetooth, NFC, satellite, smoke signals, etc...

Let's say you have three different devices, A B and C, that you've configured to all communicate with one another using Nostr notes to share a single clipboard. Each device knows the pubkey of the other two, and can send and receive clipboard updates (which are NIP-04 DMs or something similar that's dual encrypted). If the user copies some text on device A, the device reaches out on a best-effort basis to device B and device C and sends a clipboard update message. It doesn't matter how those messages reach device B or device C, they just need to get there. If device A is with you at the office but device B is at home, using Wifi to post the message to a relay makes the most sense. If device A and device B are both with you on a road trip where there's no cell data, they can share Nostr notes through Bluetooth. Since these messages are ephemeral and only need to go from one device to another, the concept of a relay isn't even really needed for peer-to-peer sharing.

Apple's device-to-device integration is super nice. Things like universal clipboard, airdrop, unlocking one device using another, etc...

Are there any NIPs that standardize such functionality using Nostr? Apple's walled garden is great, but why not a Nostr borderless rainforest?
