Alright! My new nostr relay is up and running, more details soon :)
What do you mean daddy state won't be central planning which currencies we shall be allowed to use??
I thought we were dumb and not allowed to think by ourselves..
nostr:npub1lwdkazsnuk95aryjhdaupewp0l2n33a6pu0cgp45ktfw7jq2uq6qgd5shr and statists alike in disbelief 😂

The moment I canceled my Tinder Gold subscription likes started flowing in like crazy, lol what a scam.
These apps wouldn't make money if they actually worked 😂
Trying to drum up some #Monero activity here. Post your nostr:npub1j9qyxka5lck4tw50v7qfrs6gdwczz5ydt7ugqy6nhuva9p6dpy5q8rs2yg receive screen here and l’ll send 4 people some #XMR!
Really looking forward to the background syncing feature, I wonder if that can eventually be used for push notifications??

Hey nostr:npub1tt4j2zeswksjh5z7zmy283qd4yd920afy9j28xg45wsxzhl9rpjqrex9ud, did tw suspend your account or did you close it yourself?
Yes they can see but cannot engage.
If you only post to free relays, who will see your posts?
If you respond to a viral post will anyone outside your following even see you?
Non-BTC people have zero reach, hence the echo-chamber.
Sadly currently any nostr user *must* be willing to use bitcoin and pay for a relay in order to get a decent experience, that's the root cause of this being a BTC echo-chamber
Obviously gold would still be demanded in jewelry & medicine.
But would those two be enough to maintain its status as a wealth preserving asset?
Would its status be replaced by another metal? Maybe by the one used in the superconductor itself (copper)
Say the room temp superconductor (LK-99) is real, it would then replace gold's usage in electronics. (or at least drastically reduce it)
Without its industrial usage, gold's status as a store of value would be dependent on.. what? 😳

Goddamnit I got my tw account locked for updating my age 🤡
YES. *Competing moderation* this is exactly how I envisioned a Reddit-style Nostr! Thank you thank you!! Will follow this closely.
Monero is not a cryptocurrency, it is a fashion line! https://nostrcheck.me/media/public/nostrcheck.me_7320716557657940981687511312.webp

Tor now uses Proof of Work to finally solve its long lasting DoS problem.
This is just the start, the era of CAPTCHAs is over.
Btw, this would not be possible without Monero's ASIC/GPU resistant algo #RandomX

I think ASICs are good. You don't need to own one, you can just rent one for a few sats over lighting.
Rent google's cpus on https://powrelay.xyz/work.html
Yeah but if you need to pay sats to an ASIC provider, why not just pay them to the relay directly instead?
To me the beauty of PoW based social media is that people wouldn't even need to "pay", it could be a "free" but still quality experience like current social media is.
Of course, everything needs to be paid for one way or another, but paying with your CPU cycles could perhaps be a more seamless experience than sats, on some scenarios.
Hey, any thoughts in using RandomX (CPU-only POW algo) for these kind of things? So that in long term more clients can provide their own POW and not have ASICs messing things up.

Is it using SHA256?
If it's just a POC it's fine, but if you would like to keep it accessible for regular peeps, then consider using a CPU-only mining algo like RandomX
