need full version asap
That was my first thought too. However, if you donāt have an income because you canāt provide economic value to society, how do you purchase a robot? Further, the robot technology, at least for a while, may be proprietary, closed source and expensive for some time. And even if they do become cheap, and your robot can take care of your house, kids, etc. how can you afford food, gas, electricity (physical goods) if you have no income and no land? Robots could automate lots of your tasks without being able to provide you with economic value. Just brainstorming out loud
fat cat bitcoin persona perspectives donāt work for plebs in the trenches. Turn off your smug Bitcoin podcasts and go make your own path. In the trenches no one gives a fuck about you. And no oneās gonna save you but yourself
Bank stopped my check because they ādidnāt recognize my signatureā (???) and now I have to show up in person. Banking is unnecessary. I donāt want to have a bank account. The network effect of others having banks and using fiat is the only reason I have one. Fuck banking.
āThereās nothing American about the USDā š„
ppl still cling to their centralized media sources though, right? I.e. even in a saturated AI world, a brainwashed CNN stan will still trust CNN.
Alright nostriches. I finally have enough done and feel comfortable to share my progress on HAMSTR.
You are about to witness perhaps the first ever(well outside of the 2,000 ones I have done testing, lol) nostr note retrieved exclusively over HF packet ham radio.
There is no Internet access on this browser at the moment at all.
It is a client - server setup. The client is fully off-grid. Only the server can connect to the internet. For this test, the server is was roughly 500 feet away using dummy loads on my radios putting out virtually zero watts. Yes, not far, but in theory it would similar at hundreds and even thousands of miles away as well.
This test pulls my most recent notes from my fake dev account following list. In this case 1 note. The number of notes is configurable, but keep in mind HF Packet Radio is SLOW. This one note takes quite a while for just tiny note from nostr:nprofile1qqsywt6ypu57lxtwj2scdwxnyrl3sry9typcstje65x7rw9a2e5nq8sprpmhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuumwdae8gtnnda3kjctvqydhwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnzd96xxmmfdecxzunt9e3k7mgpp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mq9hxafw. Future versions will have FM Data packets as well, but line of sight FM was not my goal. Global coverage was. HF radio is the only way for that.
Most functionality is now working, just ironing out some things and lots of bugs. Following, global, search, hash tags, npub search display names, are all basically working. Soon replies.
What started out as a project for me to use some social media and take camping and do some off-grid nostr stuff has now morphed into something that I believe will be able to help millions of people be able to bypass oppressive regimes, firewalls, tyranny, and allow them to interact with the nostr network using nothing but ham radios. This could be massive for learning, comms, and overall freedom. Could have a server running in France, and connect to it from Russia or Afghanistan for example. Easily within HF radio reach for half the world.
Much like the winlink email network, I hope people will be able to take my project and setup servers all around the world for people to access, read, write notes, send DM's, use various nostr kinds and even send Bitcoin(on chain offline transactions over HF radio and nostr coming soon).
Lots to come!
Note: pardon the phone screen cap, it isn't quite working fully android Firefox or chrome yet.

Iāve tried typing a reply many times. All I can say is my mind is blown. Are you the inventor or are you building on othersā work?
Cool idea, seems like a potential solution. Appreciate the discussion. I too am just spitballing, but this kind of productive discussion is what Iām on nostr for.
I believe cookies are stored on the client. So the reason for the intrusive cookies confirmation banners is that the site is asking permission to store those cookies on your device. I donāt think a signature from your nsec would match this use case. But maybe you could use your nsec to add in your own clientās āpolicyā so that you donāt need to be asked about it. I guess cookies are dumb and theyāll be done away with. But businesses do like to have some sort of analytics on their site visitors. Fine with that, just looking to automate that policy and place control with the client. And do it in a way thatās not retarded like the current way (cookies prompts).
hi, I think so, but tbh I'm not enough of a dev to weigh in on that. I just think these UX patterns are really disruptive. I don't know what web browsing on nostr would look like but I think it should strive to solve these.
I don't think any gov should be able to regulate how clients build their sites and require things like cookies banners. Cookies architecture is something that could be replaced - by what, not sure.
Verification codes could be sent to an npub instead of a phone number. Can't wait for this.
It's annoying when bad UX patterns are adopted by businesses because 1) they're mandated, or 2) they choose to adopt them bc "experts" have recommended. 2 factor verif involving a phone is a good example - imo completely reckless due to sim swap attacks. "Best practice" tho!
It all revolves around separating web from identity: Stop trying to figure out who I am, just let me browse and do business on the web.
Welcome! Youāll fit in great around here
Welcome! We could use a nostr ambassador like you who can explain in non-tech language why nostr is the future to the tictok and X normies
Itās gonna get deleted one these days I swear. I feel like a fake corporate bitch whenever I scroll on there
