Respectfully, I simply don't understand how trying to hide behind obfuscation and low information awareness is going to help defend the technology, what is so dangerous in your mind about the thesis? I notice you are not refuting it. And in what reality do you think this is a defense of the government? The government is completely off the rails. Do you expect no-one to answer the mindrot-fueled arguments for proof of stake? This message is going to be far more impactful to the private sector and to the citizenry than it is going to be to the government.

The immediate kneejerk reaction from Biden's office was to start throwing bombastic unsupportable threats of legislation after receiving the thesis. The failure of the government to heed this warning will be the strongest signal to citizens of it's importance.

He’s always been a spook.

Have you read the thesis? Fully? Realize that he's not "turning it into a weapon" he in fact just clarified its true nature outside the confines a cryptocurrency finance viewpoint.

It becomes evident that hashpower is a 2nd amendment issue. And ask yourself this, would you rather that the folks in the US holding 393m firearms to prevent the spread of tyranny also possessed and ran hashpower, or that they continued to be blind to it, and lost the war to defend sound money without firing a shot? There is a massive support structure out there to defend 2nd amendment issues and it is important that that cohort gets eyes on this issue to being establishing a robust defense. They are still dangerously centered on goldbuggery.

It's extremely important for citizens to wake the fuck up and get involved because we sure as hell can't expect our mind-disease riddled government to do it. The bankers still have too much control.

We are still under 5% adoption, it needs to grow and grow quickly.

Attacking the concept and the publishing of the thesis on the grounds of arms control is short-sighted and frankly dangerous.

Just finished packing for Nostrica.

Have the mandatory extra pairs of underwear in case I shit myself 3 times?

Something doesn't add up. The CIA coming out and praising Jason? I've listened to the guy and he comes across as sincere, but this doesn't sit right.

What's wrong with what the guy is saying?

I'm going to write something politically incorrect (and long).

I've been on #nostr since October 2022, thanks to the fantastic podcast where #[1]​ interviewed #[2]​ I discovered this wonderful rabbit hole that has me in love.

As I guess some of you know I've been developing nostrcheck.me since last month, doing my best to offer a reliable, friendly, easy for everyone and open service.

But above all this, in all aspects of my life I have always tried to be honest, treat everyone as they deserve, respecting them and always taking the time to deal with all the questions that have come to me (via DM's, etc.). Regardless of who is speaking to me or from where or even how they ask me.

Today I was moved to see a post from a guy who is trying to create and develop on nostr and has not found any support beyond mine. This guy wrote me by DM to show me his code (to me!), I tried to review it and give him an answer to the best of my knowledge and possibilities. Surely this guy also sent DM's to other developers and probably (I can't know) they didn't answer him.

I will confess one thing, naively I did the same, I sent some DM's to known people in this network hoping for some help or feedback, but (with some nice exceptions) almost nobody answered me. Nothing.

Don't get me wrong, #nostr is wonderful, the people I have met here are wonderful, but there are a few who (I think) should rethink their relationship with the rest.

Just yesterday I had a fantastic conversation with another developer, where the phrase "centralized cartel of providers" came up. I think we all have to be very careful not to leave all this great technology in the hands of a few.

Let's help each other, let's support each other, the enemy is not inside, he is outside and when he comes we have to be prepared.

Happy Friday to all 💜
