Yes. Nostr is an amazing open protocol...

IPFS has intrigued me for a while. It's like Torrents but for more?! Why has this not caught on more?

As an anarchist I still appreciate bitcoin supporters in the government which rules over me because I'd rather be comfortably using bitcoin than risk going to jail or confiscation each time I make a TX.

why do we need bitcon supporters in gov?

BITCOIN AND NOSTR ARE THE FUTURE.

PEOPLE WILL VIEW BOTH AS BACKUPS TO CORRUPT ANTIQUATED LEGACY SYSTEMS UNTIL THEY BECOME THE STANDARD.

GOOD MORNING. 🫡

Monero does a good job at both, which I do advocate for the use of (despite many Bitcoiners on here trashing me for it).

We need a better virus or something.

Neurotypicals are why defeating mortality seems far away. Neurotypicals need to kill themselves faster so everyone else can have more chance at survival.

I was fun at parties before people decided to keep partying during a pandemic and then pretend the pandemic is over to rationalize it to themselves

Nostr is getting pretty bad again. Don't even know where's a functional place to check notifications anymore. They stopped loading in snort.social a long time ago, stopped loading in iris.to today, coracle.social and ditto.pub both require authorization from nos2x multiple times just to load 1 page, not sure what else is out there.

ELI5 #silentpayments

Imagine Bitcoin as digital cash that exists only online. It's like the money in your bank account, but instead of a bank controlling it, it's controlled by a network of computers worldwide.

Now, when you make a payment with regular Bitcoin, it's like writing a check. Everyone can see who sent the money, who received it, and how much was sent.

Silent Payments are a new way to use Bitcoin that's like paying with cash in an envelope. No one can see who sent the money or who received it, just like how no one can see who's paying who when you hand someone an envelope of cash.

Here's how it works behind the scenes:

* Special Address: You have a special Bitcoin address for silent payments. It's like a P.O. Box, not your home address.

* Hidden Identity: When someone wants to send you money, they don't send it directly to your special address. Instead, they use a bit of math magic to create a one-time-use address that's linked to your special address but doesn't reveal it.

* Secret Delivery: The money is sent to the one-time-use address, which then secretly forwards it to your special address. No one can see the connection between the two.

* Private Wallet: Your Bitcoin wallet, where you store your Bitcoins, knows how to handle silent payments and keep your identity hidden.

Think of it like a secret code that only you and your wallet know. It keeps your Bitcoin transactions private and secure, just like paying with cash.

The point where I open Primal to start the day off before Twitter is getting closer.

I can feel it.

Are you sure? 🤔
