Or even a “Worse is worse” situation.
Configurable is fine. So long as there's some way to stop having to change the default of public to something else every time
It's not that simple. DIDs are just an identity scheme, not a social network. They're not directly competitors. Equally, network effects are huge so there's no reason to expect the best solution to a actually win. Nostr definitely has an unfair advantage over safer systems by the fact that it's shoddy design makes it easier to quickly adopt.
It should default to the type of zap (private/public/anonymous) that you previously sent.
Because nostr is simple and the DID people never figured out how to make their stuff simple.
OTOH nostr is simple because it glosses over a lot of stuff, resulting in a dangerously insecure system. Once nostr is more secure, it'll be a lot less simple. Maybe not as complex as DIDs. Or maybe even more complex as nostr will probably have to figure out how to fix their bad design choices with complex backwards compatible upgrades. We'll see.
One more thing: respect the martial law and restrictions on photography, etc. I've taken no photos of military stuff, police, sensitive infrastructure, etc. Those restrictions exist for good reasons and it's best to be in a position where you could give the military/police your unlocked phone without worrying. Similarly, don't violate curfew without a genuinely good reason. It's in the middle of a very serious war after all. No reason to get into any trouble.
Not that difficult. The border is open to foreigners and the trains are running just fine from Poland and Romania. Airbnb, Uber, and pretty much all the other services you'd expect are operating. Supermarkets are full of food, restaurants and bars are operating, etc. The only nuisance is there is a curfew at 23:00, so everything shuts down pretty early; none of the usual Kyiv nightlife.
One nuisance re: the border is I don't know how easy it would be to get it for a foreigner on their own. Each time I've visited I was with Ukrainians so the border guards didn't even ask me what I was doing. Maybe that's different if you are alone? I don't know. Also note that theoretically a vax pass or negative test is required. But as far as I can tell that's entirely unenforced and the law is only on the books because the government is too busy dealing with more important issues.
Kyiv continues to get attacked by Russian missiles. Heck, my Airbnb last time was just a few hundred meters from one of the attacks in the past few months. But the chances of you personally getting killed are low. As a rough guess it's probably in the same ballpark as your overall chance of dying from normal mortality.
Of course, this could easily change. And Kyiv is only this safe because lots of Ukrainians on the front lines, and working in anti-air defense, are giving their lives in combat keeping Russia away. But their sacrifices are genuinely making a difference. It certainly wouldn't have been safe to visit a year ago when Russia almost managed to invade Kyiv.
Better: use Qubes OS (or similar).
There is no reason why a compromised entertainment system should have even been able to compromise that dev environment. None at all.
I really wish I'd taken gymnastics as a kid. I had a chance too, but shy 10 year old me said no. 10 year old me was kinda stupid. 😂
My panel discussion with Gleb Naumenko at the Bitcoin Magazine Ukraine launch party in Kyiv a few weeks ago just got posted to YouTube:
Well, I didn't say NIP-26 is ideal. :) Delegation that is only valid for a limited period of time might be better; OTS+random beacons can likely help that.
Definitely needs to be solved at the protocol level.
No comment on DID. But nostr needs a better key scheme with delegation and the ability to rotate keys. No doubt about that.
He might have been complaining about the specific cryptographic technique proposed in that case; in general nostr certainly needs delegated keys. No doubt about thst.
Apparently it's legal to enter without a vax cert in the ferries from The Bahamas to Florida. That may be be an option if you can get there. Not sure if that's still true though.
Seems to do that on Amethyst.
That would do it.
Canada was ok with the Chinese/Russian vaccines. Probably because Canada only cared that you complied, not whether or not it worked...
I'd say get a fake cert. But that's probably not so easy now that very few people are getting vaxxed.
It's old school Sovereign. You know, where the Sovereign gets to take your stuff...
That sounds about right. Russian/Chinese vaccines?
