I'm finding myself intuitively opening nostr note than twitter lately
A new study says that due to an increase of around 55% in wind and solar generation between 2019 and 2022, air quality in the United States shot up and asthma risk fell. #ShareGoodNewsToo https://buff.ly/3Rh9C9Z
of course, the pollution is outsourced to china

you will interactively sign your yearly provisioned LN channel in a timeout tree, through your always connected home node, and you will be happy
regardless of any soft forks, life finds a way
cryptography can never truly replace trust. what it can do is push it as far to the edges as possible, and that's huge. because trust at the edges is truly practical
that's a different issue, but for this you'll have to have visibility into the code that your counterparty runs, and that's impractical
you can use tor or vpn, and provide as little information as possible to the process that runs on your machine, but you can never validate what information your counterparty keeps and how it uses it
ignore it or make it pay for your attention
is it even possible to log back into your ubuntu after a few days without it insisting that you must restart or the world will end?
since fedi is practically just keeping pieces of strings for you (no cryptography as an ecash end user), i guess it’s tolerable. fountain is also an LN custodian with no client side cryptography afaik. as for keet i never used it so don’t know
open source is mostly critical for applications that implement cryptographic protocols, to be able to verify they are not backdoored
always have been
technically you can always nostr to yourself on your own relay
not only liquidity constraints in realistically practical 2nd layer bitcoin (LN, Ark, ToT) isn’t a “ux problem”, it might be the only way that makes sense from a TANSTAAFL perspective
translating the pain of block size limit into the pain of funding the time value of money of illiquid inbound capacity is a great bargain. dormant HODL coins are a much larger resource than blocks space
there are no silver bullets. no magical 2-way pegs. all magical solutions are no different from a block size increase from an economic standpoint. a magical scaling solution without pain isn’t trading-off any comfort, which indirectly means no fees
censoring on open protocols is impractical
twitter is practically divided into 1000s of different twitters yet they’ll say nostr is not scalable because it doesn’t have a global state.. when was the last time you “explored” twitter?
maybe the global state is the problem to begin with?
