encourage real world adoption

you can't control the speculators, but we can make them a minority

Mullvad is dumping it on exchanges when you give it to them. We're trying to actually create a parallel economy here. It's people being "toxic" as you self-describe that are the larger issue.

The CIA and Blockstream seized control, wrecked the layer-1, to sell their layer 2. And any alternative outside blockstream's control is being labeled a shitcoin.

It's not logical to go with the government's side of the issue, (oppressing real world use), for a vendor to protect you from the same government

Purpose is not to promote monero. It's avoiding a return to fractional reserve banking

Blockstream seized control, wrecked the layer-1, to sell their layer 2. And any alternative outside blockstream's control is being labeled a "shitcoin".

The problem it fixes is fractional reserve banking and central banking, with a trustless solution.

But the problem it created is Blockstream seized control, wrecked the layer-1, to sell their layer 2. And any alternative outside blockstream's control is being labeled a shitcoin.

Hey the site is up on forum.simplifiedprivacy.com and has the ability to upload and recieve (for real) from nostr relays

Please see Roger Ver's Hijacking Bitcoin. I can send a pdf if you're gonna actually look through it

a) Massive privacy risk. Please see the article linked above.

b) Nostr has scaling issues completely outside of how many clients can hit up 1 relay at a time. The issue is you literally can't connect to 1000s of relays, so it forces centralization as people use the same popular ones with dramatic different outcomes. Even fiatjaf admits this

c) No they don't have to "audit" each one, they can knock out the biggest popular relays in seconds, its public on clear

d) No, you're completely incorrect on the smaller ones. You have not properly researched this

source link on the ICE online facial?

I disagree with everything you said

First Cloudflare is a massive privacy risk, it's absolutely ridiculous you don't see it that way. They measure the speeds users pull data, this alone can doxx nostr users. They browser fingerprint users of websites. What does privacy even mean if they see everything?

https://simplifiedprivacy.com/why-and-what-is-arweb/arweave-website-creator.html

Second, the idea that you need millions of concurrent users is ridiclous. It's the same small bunch of people here on Nostr. Both you and I can not even get 100 reactions if we tried. Nobody cares to DDoS you, or the users using that self-host relay.

Third, there is no purpose in decentralized tools if 2-3 entities control them all. And the only solutions you mentioned are international giants or in your home. You're completely leaving out smaller providers

Let's take your logical thought to the extreme.. if everyone hosted nosflare on cloudflare, then it would be a regular social media site with a single entity. So the only thing magical about Nostr, is those who DON'T use this.

Blockstream seized control of Satoshi's Bitcoin Github keys,

just like "White House staff" seized control of Joe Biden's autopen

Just curious, how old were you when you "escaped" the mind prison?

lol I commented on your other post. and if you disagree, I'm going to reference this one

and with that in mind, please check DMs

very cute

isn't the whole point of having self-host relays decentralization? so don't you see that having Cloudflare host every relay might conflict with that mission?

Monero $347.79.. up 7.3% today

Here we go again, we've become as volatile as Cambodian breast milk riels

Bitcoin is a shitcoin

-Slow

-Expensive

-Seized by exchanges for mixing

-Complex layer 2

-Layer 2 Requires large deposits

-Blockstream is in charge. it's NOT decentralized

-Not actually used in the real world

-Blockstream ruined it to sell their layer 2 solution

If you're just promoting the CIA's agenda, what's the purpose of Nostr?

Are you a MoneroTown user?

HydraVeil makes it's first debut, come show some love: https://monero.town/post/6132916

yes great question, I tried the jeff one earlier and couldn't get it to write or read from relays

Monero drops

from $420 to $327

I posted earlier that the huge spike up was bad in the long-term, because of the likely possibility for downside volatility as well. And rapid volatility hurts adoption as real world cash.

I don't say these kinds of things to be like "oh I'm right all the time". Being right on social media doesn't even matter. I say them so you can not get burned and FOMO ape into it at the peak, or not take any profit when the real world transactions aren't matching the run-up in price. Stay safe bro

I used to think people on Reddit were retarded

Now I realize the general population is retarded, and Reddit is just a reflection of that

Ignoring Arweave as a Nostr user,

Is no different than ignoring Nostr as a Twitter user,

And in fact, it's even worse, because you're supposed to be "aware"

Any KYC exchange using Google analytics is a double dipshit

The whole point of the KYC is you know exactly who is using your platform.

So why do you need to invade people's space with Google identifying visitors on top of it?

Avoid biometric ID?

Here's an example: Many vendors use Bitpay, but if you go to BitPay checkout with IVPN IPs, those are flagged. And they often ask for biometric ID. Same might happen with Privacy-com credit card masking. Sometimes companies won't even tell you what the reason is.

But if you're using HydraVeil, you'll go right through because our underdog smaller datacenter IP blocks aren't popular with other VPNs. Now some will try to attack me, and say that's just because we're new, and in time, that advantage will go away.

And the moment that happens, we'll introduce "residential proxies" right into HydraVeil, with both Tor and Wireguard masking options. I designed it with oppression in mind.

Blossom is a vastly inferior product to Arweave.

They both store files, like images, in a decentralized way.

The issue is images cost money to replicate and store. Arweave solves this by programming the funds to only pay out after service. While Blossom uses Nostr key pairs and expects users to use Bitcoin.

But bitcoin has no binding contract. Therefore, Blossom is:

---Not trustless

You trust the relay won't just steal your bitcoin.

---Not as decentralized

If you can't trust the server you're paying, people will naturally gravitate to trusted nodes

---Blossom is more censored.

With Arweave you get the whole network instantly and trustlessly, but with Blossom you only get the few relays you trust to pay or host on.

---Less end-user freedom

The viewer of Blossom content is forced to pick from the poster's relays. While on Arweave, the end user picks from the entire network and can even self-host where they get content.

---Arweave is far more private.

Blossom forces you to tell many servers your IP and npub. With Arweave, the single gateway you choose or self-host knows your IP. In fact, similar to Tor, your VPN doesn't even know what content you're looking at because ALL content shares the same gateway IP.

---Arweave does entire websites

Blossom isn't designed for whole sites, it's for a jpeg meme on Nostr. While Arweave not only does whole websites, but even it's own DNS system that already works without new software. Arweave + a Nostr client would be a game-changer for images, podcasts, and even video.

My point:

You can use Blossom if you want, I'd even subscribe if my client supports it. I'm happy to see development, and I want you guys to succeed. Just don't be closed off to other solutions... because ironically that's the very censorship you wish to defeat.
