“You too can boost your sim hack target profile with this off skew dying blue mark!”
On a more serious note, mobile phone numbers as KYC (due to global SIM laws requiring ID to purchase a SIM, pushed even into developing countries), AND security is a huge problem.
It stems from two key root problems. How do you limit membership or a trials to one (or very few) per person - often a credit card to sign up is an approach used too. And second problem is SIM as KYC - it means they don’t store your photo ID, but that’s already recorded via your SIM (that’s likely paid for your bank card, which had KYC as well).
The layers of tracking and control here is unacceptable for a free society’s people.
Nostr will have a similar challenge to limit things like free trials, signup credits, or memberships - however we can work towards KYC free approaches.
Ultimately decoupling individuals from a mobile phone number is critical for freedom. I proposed earlier that p2p and mesh net can help decentralise mobile data networks in the coming decade.
Worth thinking about today and avoiding these mistakes for Nostr. https://nostr.build/i/nostr.build_790eefd44b7c2d50c03d7b0d326a36b9d3bc311cf34c651c5d68ef736c835f22.webp
I checked and that seems to be correct. All mine are ACINQ.
I don’t know the details, however I suspect having a channel, even private channel, has some challenges around remote force close or sending olds channel state - so watchtowers are really important to prevent your largely offline channel from having funds attempt to be stolen.
I’m guessing Phoenix provides this? I should know, but haven’t investigated further.
Yep 👍. I try to help people I lead/mentor not to copy what I did, and adjust things earlier. It’s nice to push yourself, but I’d rather do that be up a mountainside than employment.
Staring into space (which I rarely do normally) and slurring are the first major signs for me. The catch is that’s already far in. Maybe an earlier sign is my thoughts haunt me in the shower.. I can’t escape planning or designing stuff even while bathing and without technology. Lol.
And the other funny thing is when I’m coming out of it, 2/3 weeks later I kind of feel normal… however at the time I don’t realise I’m still half or more burnt out still. It’s only maybe 3-6 weeks later I realise, what felt like normal; that first three weeks was a false normal - my baseline gets so broken I completely lose reference.
I made my employer a lot of money.. and drove extremely successful outcomes.. but really the cost didn’t translate into financial or much else success in the end. Should have locked in a % cut 😅
#[2] I’d ZAP you for always being so helpful to everyone, but I don’t think you have lightning setup.
Yep. Boundaries help.
Not boasting in any way, but multiple times I’ve worked until my brain frys and I start to mumble/slur words while speaking, and I literally can’t understand or respond to questions above a certain level of complexity - that are normally fairly easy.
Takes many weeks to get there and back out even months.. but the combination of coffee, long hours, intensity of work, obsession, and single focus all can really burn you out.
I never would have imagined pushing until those limits , or how a brain can literally fry.. like overheat and partiality shut down. But I guess I’ve learned my limits better, and how to manage them - was entirely my doing each time.
Don’t recommend doing it unless you’re trying to find limits, ha. Life > Work.
Same. I get bored, which either drives obsession or eventually finds another outlet.
Obsession is a good life hack for success.. if you can manage it.
Thanks #[1] for your understanding 😆
Or the 🤙 being used. Or their first follow was Damus. Or they still are following Damus. Other quirks in contact handling or even creation.
I really hope we can combat fingerprinting better in Nostr than Web browsers do. If browsers never added so many fingerprinting privacy holes, perhaps ads never would have felt like your microphone is always on.
That I don’t know. I suspect not. Which makes me wonder how many posts (particularly in other languages) are Nostr bridges that kind of post broken content. It’s also confusing to never get replies I guess (if one way only).
Here is an example.

Normally when using a Nostr client directly, when you reply, your message contains two or more special tags.
One tag is the original message id, and the other is the original poster id. That way Nostr apps can query to show you the previous messages in a thread, and also notify the original poster you have replied.
It seems some Japanese (and other posts for sure), are being copied from other networks, but without the linking data - so you cannot load the thread views and it looks like people are talking to themselves or just in global chat without using reply.

I think I found the cause. The events are tagged with Mostr. I guess they are published from another platform and you lose the Nostr event references in the Nostr event conversion.
Missing both e and p tags.
The most interesting thing I’ve seen on Nostr for a while is happening right now.
Japanese speaking posters are have discussions about TVs and sizes, positions, etc - but without using replies (I.e. p-tags). Just new unlinked notes to interact with each other.
I did. notice most of their relays were Japanese based domains. Maybe smaller private relays, and smaller communities.
They calculate it for you. I have three open channels of different sizes and 430,000 total capability. I’ve paid three times I guess.
Basically you now have a globally unique identifier and a secret key that you keep private or only share with an application to log in.
Your messages are broadcast to one or more relays that are all run by different people and they largely don’t sync everything. So make sure you send to around 5 or more.
You can log into any Nostr supporting App with this identity. You data is stored on the app, but also relays (at least for a period of time). No client app or relay can censor you from the whole network.
And your data is in the network and always owned by you - you can download archives from a few services and upload to again if ever needed.
Yes. If you receive a payment larger than the current open channels capacity to receive, you can be charged 3,000 again. It’s not ideal, but hard to know how large the channels should be for everyone. So it grows are you send or receive more money.
