It’s fantastic that you signed up for plebwork. I hope you’ll be hired as a freelancer and get paid in #bitcoin

I tried to zap you, but you’re unable to receive zaps.

Very impressive!

Looking forward to come over to Bedford to watch a live Real Bedford game at McMullen Park.

How about organizing the next nostr.world conference in Brazil?

Are you an experienced UI/UX designer with Figma-skills?

Good point. But what about nostr:npub1n03pvydrg9pxay2xy479g9u7ytgh3wmagyrwy37a70js0ductf4sudh0ky as a US government and CIA asset, nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx, nostr:npub15s3hussvmv9nyvw3w8lg0x72udazmdat7tcj5vmmjafnwcvv8tpqzz6r6y?

“Never acknowledged in any serious way by the mainstream media, Signal’s origins as a US government asset are a matter of extensive public record, even if the scope and scale of the funding provided has until now been secret. The app, brainchild of shadowy tech guru ‘Moxie Marlinspike’ (real name Matthew Rosenfeld), was launched in 2013 by his now-defunct Open Whisper Systems (OWS). The company never published financial statements or disclosed the identities of its funders at any point during its operation.”

In other words, Signal gifted the CIA "well over a billion" potential insurrectionists, by providing them with a means to organize their activities away from the prying eyes of local authorities.

Accordingly, Signal was and remains very prominently used and promoted by dissidents and protesters backed by the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), a US government agency explicitly created to do overtly what the CIA once did covertly. This was the case in Hong Kong, where Endowment funding serendipitously began flowing to opposition groups a year before Signal’s launch. In July 2020, it became the island’s most downloaded app, after the controversial National Security Law was passed.

Washington was for some time enormously proud of its investment in Signal. A 2019 USAGM factsheet gave the app top billing in a list of "examples of tools supported by OTF." It further boasted that "over two billion people use OTF-supported technology daily," and "more than two-thirds of all mobile users globally have technology incubated by OTF on their device," which begs the obvious question of why the Fund’s sponsorship of Signal ended.”
