Cryptography, privacy, quantum security, infosec, retro vibes.

I did an amazing InterRail trip to France and Spain, with some friends from Italy, back in 2002. It was our first backpacking experience, I remember we stuffed our backpacks with packs of pasta (the proper type, not the "ready to cook" one), jars of tomato, salt, garlic, peperoncino, and olive oil. For 4 weeks of nomadic camping, our diet was mainly that, plus the sporadic tuna can or chorizo to reintegrate proteins. One of those trips you can only survive when you're 19. It was the early times of the Euro, I remember how magic it felt going to a foreign country and buying grocery in cash without having to juggle currencies. Memory unlocked.

#Nostr privacy questions:

1) am I correct that events are only signed, not encrypted, and hence relays can see the content that I, user, publish and fetch?

2) Are relay connections always HTTPS-encrypted?

3) If I fetch events through relay A, and relay A requests them to relay B, does relay B know that I (user) requested that content? Or only knows that "somebody behind relay A" did?

Tomorrow I'll be at the Swiss Crypto Day in Lugano. Looking forward to this local but important event! #swisscryptoday #swiss #switzerland #cryptography #lugano

Dopo essere stato parte della prima e variegata comunità di bitcoiner italiani (2011-2015), mi sono trasferito in Germania per diversi anni. Al mio rientro ho cercato gradualmente di scoprire come si fosse evoluto l’ecosistema bitcoin nazionale.

Ho così timidamente partecipato a qualche bitcoin meetup/spritz/beer, mi sono iscritto ai canali Telegram più importanti (Telegram!? Nel 2025!? #@%*$!), seguito podcaster e youtuber vari, ecc.

E ora mi chiedo dove sia finita l’apertura al diverso e la ricchezza di idee degli inizi.

Sto infatti incontrando quasi esclusivamente bitcoiner assolutamente conformi allo standard, ovvero bitcoiner che si identificano in qualche aggregato dei seguenti totem: no tax, no vax, pro gun, no immigrati, riscaldamento globale = truffa, UE = dittatura, W Mises, W Milei, W Bukele, W Trump, hodl, bull run, to the moon, dio, famiglia, palestra, bistecca e uova, …

Mai una voce fuori dal coro. Eppure nel lontanissimo 2011, ci era chiaro che bitcoin fosse per tutti. Anche oggi lo si dice, ma al contempo si è creata una narrazione, a volte dai toni forti, che tiene lontana una buona fetta di potenziali utilizzatori che non necessariamente si riconoscono in questo aggregato di convinzioni.

Capire ed abbracciare Bitcoin richiede un notevole sforzo ed una genuina curiosità intellettuale. Non rendiamo questo percorso di scoperta e comprensione di Bitcoin più difficile di quello che già è.

Bitcoin è per tutti. Anche oggi.

Bellissimo rant. Purtroppo non credo sia così solo in Italia. Il profilo che citi è quello che si definisce "cryptobro" e, sì, è imbarazzante. Frens, don't be like that!

Attending #ZKProofs7 in #Sofia #Bulgaria right now. Lot of interesting talks AND folks

Amazing, thanks, I missed that! Now the CORS tester greenlights, bit I still cannot see myself as verified in both Coracle and Amethyst, I hope it's just a matter of time for the client to fetch the updated status?

Can someone explain me why my #NIP-05 verification doesn't seem to work? I am using a JSON file at my domain tomgag.net but I see a red exclamation mark next to it (on #Amethyst )

Let's give this a try. #nostr sounds cool, I like the idea. I don't like too much that apps can bridge profiles from other media and make them look like the real thing. For example, this ( npub1un4zcpgku6z6cgaqd67haeq4mym8u5teeqdw5r4kaa5eye8x8vcs87tqn3

tomgag@infosec-exchange.mostr.pub ) is a bridge to my (legit) #mastodon account ( @tomgag @infosec.exchange ). A bit confusing if you ask me, because I do not control the private key for that bridge, you have to trust @mostr.pub to not impersonate accounts.
