There are currently multiple Haveno networks

At least 2 separate Haveno networks have launched as of today. One is called Reto and the other is called HardenedSteel. Those are the only ones I’m aware of right now, and things are happening pretty fast.
The haveno software was designed with the assumption that only a single network would be operated. People could fork it and run their own networks, but they wouldn’t interact directly at all. But it looks to me as of this moment this is not how it is going to play out.
The client has the network info hard coded. So to use more than one, you need two copies of the client. This means that for most people they have to pick one. And, users might not understand this, just google “haveno” and pull the first git repo they see. This has significant, fast moving and quickly ossifying network effects with big repercussions.
We need to be very vigilant right now, as we are about to witness the very swift rise of a major power broker in our community. We don’t want to start using a Haveno network run by scammers or authoritarians. Each network is it’s arbitrators, and soon, the merchants on each one.
I think it’s probably a good idea to figure out a way to connect to multiple networks, and to show listings with details about which network/arbitrator set a user is trusting when taking up a listing.
I’m cautiously optimistic, Monero has gotten rid of powerful people without a hitch before. But it is a bigger community now and that will be much harder to do. If we are vigilant during this time and we get through this successfully I think we become unbeatable, but the road directly ahead of us is treacherous, the next few days are going to move very fast.

Internet structure is lame:
a) Domain names are the government's opinion of your identity
b) SSL Encryption is not even based on these flawed domains, even worse than that, it's based on locations, so the cloud host owns everything
c) Even worse than that, not just the cloud host owns it, but on top of that Cloudflare sees everything. You submit your password, Cloudflare's CDN sees it. They own every account you thought you owned.
d) Even worse than that, Websites won't even let you JUST have a password. You need to email to verify, which is completely insecure nonsense that is now having a different 2nd cloud company own your account on the first one's servers.
e) Web browsers are running whatever code they want. You're a bitch that just has to accept their code.
f) Web browsers are dominated by Google & Mozilla, both left-leaning anti-privacy companies.
I reject this.
Instead, I promote the idea of Agnostic Encryption as Identity. And what this means is:
1) Using Encryption as Identity with open source clients.
2) Empower the end user with choices among both clients and protocols.
3) End users have all the power. Servers are an irrelevant commodity
4) Avoiding tying identities to particular servers
5) Communication between keypair systems to reduce the number of clients or extensions the person has to download. We assume disagreement, if you curse me out then you prove my point.
6) Cross-communication to increase the access and availability of content, and the network effect of all encryption as identity.
yeah sure, tell that to your co-workers and boss doing collab docs
This lawmaker doesn’t even make sense, if someone is protesting cruel conditions, how does it make your cause more just to put them in the very conditions they protest? You’re just proving them right, that you are insane and inhumane.
It’s for the freedom man
Got a friend new to Nostr?
Send em this. One of our readers made original cartoon art to show how it works. I wish I had seen this when I first started, it makes it so simple. Even the Tor Onions:
Monero Wallet built into Signal
This uses the Molly client fork. Molly interacts with Signal’s official AWS servers, but is a more free version code wise, and has better local security. Now someone has added an XMR wallet to this.
Not AS BAD as google docs, but still horrible. Still data collection. But not as malicious use and intent. consider switching to Free and open source =)
Cryptpad vs NextCloud: the anti-Google.
Google docs is so toxic, because it fingerprints your writing style and keyboard mannerisms, to permanently and maliciously identify other new accounts as you. [1] They will claim this is to show you “relevant ads”, but we’ve documented numerous times their contracts with governments to mold society’s opinions and jail users. [2][3]
In order to make sure they can maliciously identify you for profit, Google docs will not display correctly, unless you disable aggressive fingerprint blocking techniques. For example Brave browser on “Strict Fingerprinting” will cause Google docs to be unreadable.
But you can ditch the tyrannical dystopia with Cryptpad or NextCloud. BOTH of these are great for team collaborations, and we can add email and chat to both of these. This is open source software that’s run on a VPS (virtual private server), aka your own tiny cloud. Let’s compare the pros and cons:
Pros of Cryptpad:
--end-to-end-encryption on shared documents
--Less resource intensive, you can have a smaller VPS and save money
Cons of Cryptpad:
--Focus is on docs, it can do other stuff, but it’s not really focused on it
--It has to be in a web browser, no apps to download
--Hypothetically the server admin could spoof the whole website to phish incoming decryption passwords, but this true for ALL web browser services.
Pros of NextCloud:
--Direct integration with to-do lists, calendars, email, and Video chat integrations make it great for business teams. (Our Cryptpad setups for have email and chat too, its just a different panel)
--Great for documents and a variety of other files
--open source mobile apps
Cons of NextCloud:
--No end-to-end encryption. Much less secure than Cryptpad
--Zero protection from the cloud host
--Takes more resources and therefore costs more to run
--Requires optimization for speed
In general, we recommend Cryptpad for smaller businesses or individuals, and NextCloud for larger teams. Simplified Privacy is proud to offer setups for either, jammed packed with email and chat on your own VPS. You pick the domain name, you pick what kind of chat (XMPP, SimpleX, ect). And you get handed over ALL credentials (root access), which you can change afterwards. See some pictures: https://simplifiedprivacy.com/email-cloud-combo/
If morality is subjective, what is the purpose?
As that means I can commit crimes, and say that to me, it subjectively feels right.
If we were to have a vote, mob rule might swing to move law in a certain direction.
Be that bomb Palestine.
Be that Hitler’s camps.
Be that starve Yemen.
Whatever, 100 examples...
The point is the foundation of individual liberty is to have rights regardless of the majority’s vote.
The only way to maintain these freedoms against the majority is with an objective standard.
Yes there's a QR code here:
The Session group has grown bigger, it's now the most active of all our rooms.
If you ask tech/privacy questions here, you'll get interesting discussion. You go to “Join Community” and add this URL:
Farcaster's Warpcast app is total bullshit.
--Forced payments via Google play store. No Degoogled phones.
What is the purpose of Ethereum if it’s forced Google play.
--Bans Tor. Since when is something decentralized if a single provider has the power to ban specific IP addresses?
--Forced link to email. The whole point of Ethereum is we don’t want government domains
--I don’t mind paying nodes or network fees, but not a central gatekeeper on Big Tech.
True. but also shouldn't be doing political protesting via email
lol the dude is a troll account man. his goal is to waste your time
What are you smoking bro? How are we going to set it up without having the SSH keys.
Then we hand it over to the customer (which I’m assuming isn’t going to be you because you’re a spamming troll), and then they can change it.
