Does anyone know of a Nostr based browser extension that has a universal website commenting features like Dissenter or Discussify? That should probably exist, right?
I think Urbit has huge potential and is a very important project on par with Bitcoin in a way. I am somewhat disappointed in the lack of existing support for bitcoin on the Urbit Network. This will be resolved over time.
I think it's important to understand that Urbit is a computing project rather than a "Crypto" project. Even though it does currently use Ethereum for Dns records. It's possible however that this dns system could be ported to another system if needed.
The long term goal of Urbit is to make networked applications that don't need a software company and teams of people to keep that software alive.
Once "Kelvin zero" is reached then software built on Urbit "in theory" should function forever.
Lol very compelling argument. 👍
The issue you should be concerned about is the inflation against Bitcoin from the opportunity cost of not having the functionality offered by other chains. Declaring what other users need is presumptuous. If you don't need the extra functions then your not affected other than benefiting from the increased scarcity and incentive alignment.
For reference, I'm not a fan of Ordinal Inscription although I accept the outcome. I am a big fan of Drivechains. It's freaking brilliant idea. Screw monitary inflation. Permanently.
No doubt. And I would, but if you want or need the functionality of another chains token why not use Drivechains and keep the value of that system locked in the price of Bitcoin?
It is not. You can't do cold storage with lightning assets. Lightning is awesome and I use it. But its a different type of system with different attributes.
Bitcoin drivechain is a proposal for a secondary blockchain (or “sidechain”) that is “pegged” to the main Bitcoin blockchain. The drivechain is designed to operate under the security of the Bitcoin network while offering additional features or capabilities that the main chain doesn’t provide.
The general idea of a drivechain is to allow for innovation and additional functionality without changing the rules of the main Bitcoin blockchain or creating a separate cryptocurrency. For example, a drivechain could implement smart contracts, faster transactions, or other features, and still be secured by the main Bitcoin network.
Here’s how a drivechain would generally work:
1. Lock-Up: Users “lock up” a certain amount of Bitcoin on the main chain, effectively freezing it in a special type of transaction.
2. Activation: The locked-up Bitcoin activates corresponding tokens on the drivechain. These tokens can then be used according to the rules and capabilities of that drivechain, separate from the main Bitcoin blockchain.
3. Operation: Users transact and interact on the drivechain, enjoying whatever additional features it provides.
4. Withdrawal: When users are done using the drivechain, they can initiate a withdrawal process that destroys the drivechain tokens and unlocks an equivalent amount of Bitcoin on the main chain.
One of the key innovations proposed by this drivechain concept is the way it uses the existing Bitcoin network for security. Instead of creating a separate consensus mechanism or relying on validators, a drivechain would use Bitcoin’s proof-of-work mechanism to include drivechain data in Bitcoin blocks. This means that the drivechain would inherit the security of the main Bitcoin network, making it more robust against attacks.
Drivechains sounds like a cool idea to me. No more need for inflationary altcoins.

The mind is a quantum computer.
We hold many possible outcomes in our thoughts in a state of entangled probability until we have enough data to collapse the wave function and reveal the highest probable outcome with gradient descent.
We do this all without even realizing it.
