you should try and start at a certain block instead of using UTC. Its not as consistent but you can start living on #bitcoin time

Eth is a scam

There are 2 types of Bitcoiners in the world: those who incorporate Bitcoin into their larger worldview, and those who have only one tool in their toolbox.

I'm studying my cats reactions to the solar eclipse for personal science curiosity. So far she's just tired. Earlier she was was chilling by the window.

I'm not sure I should write down these thoughts right now while I'm not sure about them, but if you are reading this apparently I did.

I think nostr may already be doomed for two reasons. And as a result of that, if I conclude as such, it would make sense to start working on a successor protocol. I've been taking some notes about what we should change if we started over, but that's the extent of it, I'm not working on a successor protocol. I'm only working on nostr. So don't misinterpret this note, which just represents some thoughts I've been having.

Reason one is the misaligned incentives of note copying. The incentives are to copy your notes to every relay you can, blast them out everywhere, to get more reach. That incentive doesn't go away until and unless all the clients do the outbox model. But they don't have an incentive to change, and there are people who don't give a fuck about fixing this and argue against fixing it and argue for note copying, and there is no way in a free society to make them care. So we can never fix this, and nostr will always be centralized in practice and never what it could have been. That means nostr is doomed and unfixable and we should make sure to start differently next time so this doesn't happen again.

Reason two is that the seed culture of nostr was far too monolithic: bitcoiners. What a culture develops into probably depends on how diverse its seed was. It's quite hard to get people onto nostr unless they are at least very bitcoin tolerant. Most people (yes, I think most) are put off by so much bitcoin promotion and related posts. Certainly people can follow anybody they want, and make their own independent cultures, perhaps even on a disjoint set of relays. But this isn't likely to happen due to the law of large numbers - there are far more ways for them to encounter and interact with the nest of bitcoiners then to not encounter and interact with them.

These are thoughts I'm entirely unsure about. Maybe I'm wrong in both cases. These are my worries.

Why are you still an active #nostr user?

Imagine thinking bitcoin needs someone on Twitter marketing for it

I WILL NEVER TURN MY BACK ON BITCOIN. I HAVE DEDICATED MY LIFE TO THE MOVEMENT.

- TWITTER IS NOT BITCOIN.

- I DOUBT SATOSHI WOULD SUPPORT WE CHAT OF THE WEST LMFAO.

I don’t know about that, there’s a few females here on Nostr that would enjoy that!
