Bitcoin Cash tried so hard to just be called "Bitcoin" while renaming "Bitcoin" to "Bitcoin Core". It didn't work.
A minarchist would argue that maintaining a monopoly on the initiation of force within a territory is the one legitimate function of government. An an-cap would argue for what is effetively a decentralized version of the same thing. The peer-to-peer legal system itself would act to behaviours not consistent with the NAP.
how do you turn this on
Is there a way to have multiple timelines in Amethyst? Like, put different follows in different timelines.
I'm following some profiles that I would like to look at from time to time, but they bury the posts of others since they post relatively often. I'm also concerned about unnecessary data/battery use. Profiles like nostr:nprofile1qqs06j0ffwauma2hedtw005q4c0mcpn622ukwz5q9apcfcd95fnc5kspz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumt0wd68ytnsw43qzxthwden5te0wfjkccte9eeks6t5vehhycm99ehkuegprfmhxue69uhkummnw3ezucm0d9hxvatwv35hgtnrdaks8xv4qj and @J'adore Anime.

Simplest thing would be just to create multiple npubs.
The NOSTR CEO should make a statement vowing never to censor the network.
Your client leaks a lot of this info to relays when hitting them up, including your IP.
It also would mean when you use NOSTR to log into other apps, such as ecash, it would be missing that info.
Still I think it would be a popular feature.
I will be trying to quote-post more rather than just commenting when a post raises an interesting discussion.
"All this havoc, this misfortune, this ruin, descends upon you not from alien foes, but from the one enemy whom you yourselves render as powerful as he is, for whom you go bravely to war, for whose greatness you do not refuse to offer your own bodies unto death. He who thus domineers over you has only two eyes, only two hands, only one body, no more than is possessed by the least man among the infinite numbers dwelling in your cities; he has indeed nothing more than the power that you confer upon him to destroy you.
Where has he acquired enough eyes to spy upon you if you do not provide them yourselves? How can he have so many arms to beat you with if he does not borrow them from you? The feet that trample down your cities, where does he get them if they are not your own? How does he have any power over you except through you? How would he dare assail you if he had not cooperation from you? What could he do to you if you yourselves did not connive with the thief who plunders you, if you were not accomplices of the murderer who kills you, if you were not traitors to yourselves?
You sow your crops in order that he may ravage them; you install and furnish your homes to give him goods to pillage; you rear your daughters that he may gratify his lust; you bring up your children in order that he may confer upon them the greatest privilege he knows — to be led into his battles, to be delivered to butchery, to be made the servants of his greed and the instruments of his vengeance; you yield your bodies unto hard labor in order that he may indulge in his delights and wallow in his filthy pleasures; you weaken yourselves in order to make him the stronger and the mightier to hold you in check. From all these indignities, such as the very beasts of the field would not endure, you can deliver yourselves if you try, not by taking action, but merely by willing to be free." Etienne de La Boetie

This comment about a week before Russia was cut off from SWIFT, and yet here we are 2.5 years later.
Not a fan of lightning addresses. Waiting for bolt12 offers to become more universal. On-chain Bitcoin is getting reusable addresses now too which is awesome.
I like to think of ecash/liquid as stablecoins pegged to bitcoin rather than custodians. They succeed/fail on the same basis, but with the huge advantage that issuers can fully settle with eachother in the backend over the lightning or base layer network, and can have shared custody of reserves accross jurisdictions.
The statist school system being heavily Christian influenced also probably pushed people towards satanic symbolism as a protest against it.
The blinded signatures protect you from this issue:
* Alice gets a coin from the mint and gives it to Bob
* Bob redeems it
* The mint now knows that the coin Bob redeemed is the same one that was given to Alice.
With blinded signatures, the mint only knows that the coin was minted and given to someone, but not to whom. Coins are fixed sizes, so your anonymity set is the number of people who have coins of the same size.
Of course there are probably tons of heuristics you could use to guess who sent coins to whom, which get harder the more users are using the mint.
Are you sure it able to connect to the network? Is it ethernet or wifi? Static config or DHCP?
Anyone been paying attention to Bryan Lunduke's recent reporting on tech journalism? There seems to be some real funding issues there causing almost all publications to avoid the same topics. Could it be hitting Bitcoin Magazine as well?
What are we going to buy with bitcoin when there's no manufacturing infrastructure anymore?
Calls for popular Mastadon instances to block federation with "linuxrocks.online" are just another example of why the Mastadon architecture is not conducive to freedom or free speech. Nostr accounts are not tied to any specific instance, or subject to the whims of the instance moderators. Nostr nodes are free to refuse to host any content they dislike, without blocking their users access to content they are looking for.
It's an ongoing area of research called remote attestation.
