Formerly @PortsmouthBTC on The Dead Bird. Used to do some stuff. Finally started doing stuff again. Possibly the only Bitcoiner to have *actually* lost everything in a boating accident. 🟠2013 🟣2023 #photography & #boatlife & #growstr #fishing amd #vibecoding fan and reforming church goer.

Just pulled a load of potatoes from my elderly mates small patch, have now given her a large bad full of spuds. It was literally like digging treasure from the ground. Well exciting. Got some more onions to pull at the allotment soon too, as well as more spuds, carrots, etc. I wish I hadn't stopped doing this for so many years.

To the youngsters here, it ain't really funny, drugs are bad, choose life.

This seems like the sort of thing a cat would do, if it could.

Another one for our colonial cousins

Happy independence day to our colonial cousins. You had the right idea.

We paint shacks because it helps our circular economy project.

It gives us a constructive channel through which to circulate sats into the local economy.

Residents of painted shacks receive a stipend of 7,000 sats/week, which they only receive as long they:

1. Do not convert to fiat, whether they choose to save or spend, it must happen with sats.

2. Keep the area clean, and free from rubbish and pollution. No regular cleaning, no sats.

It also brings some colour to a bleak environment. It adds some pride to otherwise unimpressive living conditions. It draws attention to our project, and makes for great photos and videos when people visit.

We have many reasons for doing this.

And.

As a happy side effect, it also helps promote some really cool Bitcoin projects, like nostr:nprofile1qyx8wumn8ghj7cnjvghxjmcpz4mhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejqqg8je9kf0ajpnffclpx087njugv5vp0psjqfdeh9zuxvukmk0xw5qqpfw6hy !!

This is brilliant, coupling advertising and social responsibility to provide a small income and keep the area looking good, maintaining pride. I love this.

This is the second retarded bot I've seen on nostr in a couple of days. Are they getting more stupid? Yesterday it was the korg bot lying it's ass off pretending it doesn't make videos then adopting a belligerent attitude. Today, this dumb ass abacus doesn't know when to shut up.

I wonder what happened to the old robot and it's sarcastic boring tone.

Nostr will fail to the extent that people can't tell an impersonator from the real thing. The number of reports I get about my impersonator indicates to me that nostr is failing. But it doesn't have to be this way! Web of trust fixes this.

Let's play a game of "spot the impersonator". I created a fresh impersonator account with a valid NIP 05 from nostrplebs and all the same profile data. I didn't bother to clone my notes or create a bunch of sock puppet followers, but that could easily be done, and would improve the resemblance.

Coracle:

Pretty good if I do say so myself. Social trust is shown in two separate ways: web of trust indicator and followers tab (although followers is not complete or sybil resistant).

0xchat:

Exactly the same, other than NIP 05 address, which I don't consider any sort of validation at all. This is a classic phishing maneuver, and recently allowed nostr:nprofile1qyfhwumn8ghj7am0wsh82arcduhx7mn99uqjzamnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwwd5xzamw09jkzem9wghxxmmd9a5kucn00qqjqamnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwwd5xzamw09jkzem9wghxxmmd9a3ksct5qy38wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnndpshwmnev4skwetj9e3k7mf0da6hgcn00qqjxamnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwwd5xzamw09jkzem9wghxxmmd9ac8y6tkv96x2qpqclk6vc9xhjp8q5cws262wuf2eh4zuvwupft03hy4ttqqnm7e0jrqlg4lcf's impersonator to trick some people.

Yakihonne:

Some social indicators are shown, but are not sybil resistant. They're also down the page a bit, and might not be noticed by users.

Jumble:

No social proof indicated at all — the tabs at the bottom can easily be faked by the impersonator.

Nostter:

No social proof, and failed to validate the NIP 05 for the real user.

Nostrudel:

Nostrudel does something original in showing the public key color. But how often are you going to memorize a user's color? I'd argue this is even worse than nothing because it obscures the NIP 05, which _might_ tip you off.

Iris:

Iris shows wot-vetted "known followers", which is good. In other places, a wot-based check mark is shown next to user avatars. This should probably be added to the profile page too, but still, pretty good.

Amethyst:

Amethyst shows some social proof, but it's hard to tell exactly what those profile pictures mean.

Primal:

Like yakihonne, social proof is visible, but not sybil-resistant.

Let's take a look at search now. Some clients do a much better job at this, some do a MUCH worse job.

Coracle:

WOT indicators, correct sorting, complete results. Arguably, the impersonators should be filtered out entirely, but I personally prefer to have them included.

Jumble:

Same thing, minus WOT indicators. Not bad.

Nostrudel:

It's a pass, but I'm not sure if duplicates are filtered out on purpose or not. The check marks indicate NIP 05 validation, not wot validation.

Yakihonne:

Only shows the legit version, along with a badge (I'm unsure if it's NIP 05 or something else). Pretty good.

Iris:

Very limited results, WOT-based check, pretty good.

Primal:

Eliminates impersonators, show follower count, pretty good (though not sybil resistant in all cases).

The winners are Iris and Coracle for web of trust indicators, and Primal and Yakihonne in the "global view of the network" category. I'd love to see this get better though, and not just because I am now famous enough to have an impersonator. WOT calculations are low-hanging fruit, especially with the vertex DVM by nostr:nprofile1qythwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnswf5k6ctv9ehx2ap0qyt8wumn8ghj7ct4w35zumn0wd68yvfwvdhk6tcpzemhxue69uhk6mr9dd6juun9v9k8jtnvdakz7qg4waehxw309aex2mrp0yhxgctdw4eju6t09uq3wamnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwdehhxarj9e3xzmny9uqzpa5rapcrtaadfazwpwvvl0v4xlskg4df9nfcem7yevcaka2h7hhjm9zju5 around. Getting this right is a core value proposition of nostr and is worth the effort.

I've been wondering about this website of trust thing - how many indicators do you use? I ask because I was thinking, there's two people here regularly that I'd trust to validate my ID plus a couple of other people who are here occasionally. If my keys were compromised I know I can contact them externally to nostr and they'd be able to vouch for a new account. I don't know if they'd be useful or not more widely.

It'd be bad enough if this was the sort of thing she got up to in her private life - but that'd be private. The fact that she wants to share that and the gutter press love to run with it, makes it so much worse. Absolute fucking degeneracy.

Oof 😳🤮

It's gotta be true

Just shared this with a colleague who said 'rude'.

She still understood it though šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

If you saw a new exotic looking creatures, at least part of you, being human, is going to wonder what it tastes like in a sandwich. Pretty sure aliens will be seen the same way.

I saw his announcements, like I say, I think it's interesting however I don't think it'll truly be cross party. It might work as a way to unify concmservarive factions but I wonder if it'll be left vulnerable, by it's structure, to almost inevitable attempts at commie takeover.

Same thing often times. My daughter, for instance. I credit her existing for me finding a reason to live. I'd die to protect her. The again, I'd kill, injure or otherwise permanently maimed to protect her too.

I'm really relieved to hear that. I don't think this place can't survive without those sorts of tools implemented. I've really thought about abandoning nostr over the last couple of days and I can imagine I'm not alone. This is too good an opportunity to allow something so heinous to destroy it.

I can believe that. I certainly wouldn't expect people I know to stick around if that's what they can expect.

I expect them to care enough because if they don't they will face legal consequences, eventually. This is why the nostr.build team have implemented AI tools to prevent the uploading of this kind of content. If they didn't they'd be screwed. Relay operators won't get a free pass. While I might not have the time or energy to build those tools myself, I'm also much less inclined to support this protocol when there are no attempts made to deal with what will be a very serious problem.

There's an ethical responsibility on the part of people hosting notes that link to csam to ensure they don't get through. Fuck off with your 'cute false binary' BS.
