Read something similar recently:

small minds discuss people

average minds discuss events

big minds discuss ideas

It's fair to say 95% of X users are forced in to discussing people regardless of your IQ.

Question? What about all those bitcoiners who suck Saylors digital energy dick? There's a whole army of em on #nostr

I'm at Bitcoin Amsterdam, but spent half the day finishing some Signal-style double ratchet messaging.

Deployed an experimental version on https://iris.to. You can create chat invite links and give them to friends via QR or other messaging. The UI is still lacking and glitchy, but just had to demo at the conference.

The chats cannot be publicly linked to either participant, and even if your main Nostr key is revealed, the content and existence of past messages stays hidden.

Also published npm package nostr-double-ratchet 0.0.1: https://www.npmjs.com/package/nostr-double-ratchet

It's not actually double ratchet yet, but the single ratchet already achieves forward and backward secrecy.

The second ratchet would help secure the latest consecutive messages by same author, in case a message key for the most recent of their messages is compromised. That makes disappearing messages or manually deleted messages more secure. I guess we'll have to do it so we can say "Signal-level security".

This is obviously not tested or audited yet, but probably it's not worse than normal Nostr DMs 😅

You can take a look at the source code, but I'll write a better technical description later. It's using existing Nostr cryptography + some key derivation stuff. Chat invites use gift wrap -like arrangement addressed to the inviter's temporary session key. https://github.com/mmalmi/nostr-double-ratchet

Fine work and much needed.

I have a hard time explaining ethereum to someone with a straight face. HEX is on a whole other level.

Great MLM though, they have the patter and I can see how they can convert all the low IQ rubes with promises of eternal wealth.

I should have explained the 1%. I hold equal whole units of BTC:XMR

It's actually less than 1% but so much upside in terms of freedom and privacy that it's a no brainer for me when you consider BlackRock (who are an extension of the USGOV) are doing a great job of capturing Bitcoin.

Feeling under allocated 😅

Bumped in to a bunch of deranged #HEX maxis in the most random rural UK village.

All very nice guys but totally batshit crazy. They thought I was reckless being 99% allocated to #bitcoin

What's the #nostr set up with the least friction to onboard people so they are able to zap?

nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg I believe have their Primal wallet closed to new users.

nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm I believe funnel you to their Hub and is now a paid service only? Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Just trying to find a way I can take someone's phone and set them up, send them some sats and let them zap away in under 5 mins.

I feel like this is a fair assessment of #monero and #bitcoin

Similar tools for different jobs.

kk, installed the Go app, just waiting for some confs on initial channel opening

Awesome. Setting it up now and will see how it travels !

I saw this doing the rounds again recently. Deserves a permanent note.

Perspective is worth 20 IQ points at least.

Isn't the only proof-of-reserves your own self-custody?

Ross hadn't served enough time so it was unpalatable.

Ross has now done 10 years and I believe that was his deal if he pled at the earliest point to get maximum concessions. Now he's covered that number, it's a much easier sell to a nation of fat dumb Americans who for some reason have the ability to vote in another clown.
