But then you have created a big enough hurdle for genuine users to try out Nostr. That's how it should be but it shouldn't come from individual users.
Besides, if a scammer can earn thousands by paying 10 of dollars, they will be glad to pay and post. There are so many spammers with the blue check on Twitter.
That's what Quentin has been doing mate. But the retard has been create new account non-stop because Nostr is permissionless.
Can Nostr solve the social media spammers problem before Twitter? Without blue check? Calling all the Nostr devs I know.

This is a problem we all foresaw. We will have these kind of spammers of illegal content and scam links as replies to legit posts. Twitter hasn't solved this problem either.
The only solution to this is to fix the identity problem on social media. Definitely not suggesting Worldcoin like solutions but something better.
An example NIP. Hey nostr:npub12zqf55l7l9vsg5f6ssx5pq4f9dzu6hcmnepkm8ftj25fecy379jqkq99h8 want to help us out as well? We have 99 NIPs so far. Let's make this NIP 100!
What does he support?
It is important for me too. But I place auditability above 100% privacy.
My idea is simple, you can keep a $1000 checking account and pay for things using that account. Your entire networth is hidden behind a mixer, your other activities that require privacy are hidden, and even this identity does not have to be fully traceable back to the physical you. You can probably change it time to time.
I think its very useful that some blockchains are public. It is also very useful that Monero is private. Pros and cons on both.
For the first time ever, you own your coins. If you don't link your purchase history to your social media or email, they can't sell you anything.
I always find people with contrarian views hella interesting. We are essentially forking a community into believe two different things.
Don't get me wrong. I love Monero. But we don't need Monero like anonymity for everyday life. Bitcoin is good enough to stay anonymous. We can have different identities on Bitcoin. You do not mix those identities on social media or on Bitcoin.
Monero is good enough for small transactions but you cannot move Billions on Monero. I say we're not thinking bigger!
Ahahahahaha
Come on. We can have privacy on Bitcoin, we just need to use mixers.
Of course, Tornado is much more secure.
What do you think about Tors new "WebTunnel"? Seems like a sort of steganographic method for bypassing censorship.

This is what the Brazilians need. Tor's WebTunnels is a solution to the problem of nation states like China, Russia, Iran and soon Brazil blocking Tor traffic by simply checking web traffic. With WebTunnels, it will look as though the user is browsing a simple website.
The more we all use it and make it normal, the better it will be for the people that are unfortunately behind The Great Firewalls. Increase the anonymous set.
SPREAD THE WORD!

That is great news. The tor project is the best open source project there I have come across.
Why not simply use Tor?
VPN/SSH leads to website fingerprinting. Even if you're using VPN/SSH, its possible that the govt can figure out you're accessing Twitter.

Everyone can make a unicorn company when gets billions of dollars from some government...
Those are not grants. The govt is paying for those services. I don't see anything wrong here ahaha
If it isn't used for everyday money by that time we have lost and the nation states have won.
Ahaha. Its cool nami. It stirred up a good discussion here.
But there are many people like him.
You are underestimating who we are up against. The US govt, if you consider it as a company, is worth 100s of trillions. Elon is nothing in front of the US cabal. He is nothing in front of Putin or the Saudi Crown prince.
We need more money at the top to solve these problems. Without money we can't do anything. And a solution to these problems that requires investment will probably make Elon like figures wealthier for solving such big problems.
No but that Bitcoiner will need:
1. Health
2. Private jets
3. Freedom of speech (ahahah)
4. Space tours
5. Mega yachts
6. Mars bases
Elon Musk is the best example of how much a smart wealthy person can help our humanity. He has created employment for thousands of highly gifted individuals. He helps us fight climate change. He put a bandage on freedom of speech by buying Twitter. He is funding neuralink, space exploration, safe cars, etc.
That is the best use of wealth in my opinion.
