I impromptu interviewed a social engineering hacker. https://m.soundcloud.com/junsethsworld/interview-with-a-social-engineering
Bookmarked for later since everyone says it's good.
Would have to see the details. What I meant was that centralized, static mutelists are cancer. Dynamically andalgorithmically deciding wether or not to mute sounds more like WoT-ish unless it takes other parameters into account.
IMO there should only be explicit mutes + WoT. Mutelists are pure cancer, web2 tech
This is a very important point that probably has crossed your minds as well. If in a Web of Trust nostr, follow ==trust, I would need to unfollow about 90% of you.
Keep in mind that this only works if the domain does not raise any "legal" issues. The moment Law Enforcement requests the Whois to the registrar and realizes it's fake, they'll just take the domain from you.
The silverlining is that they only got fake info and can't raid your house with just that.
I use namecheap, give fake info and pay with bitcoin. It works well
I only now realized that Elon has be FUDing Signal. Spook level hard
It feels like nostr is enabling a decentralized protocol renaissance. nostr:npub1v0lxxxxutpvrelsksy8cdhgfux9l6a42hsj2qzquu2zk7vc9qnkszrqj49 added this torrent NIP recently: https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/1175 what if we utilize bittorrent for discovering and sharing files via nostr? This is not a new idea but the network affects could have huge benefits on seeding:
Imagine someone reposts a torrent and says “please help me seed this”. Then clients could integrate bittorrent and start helping out right away. Then you could zap people who helped seed.
nostr can fix many decentralized protocol incentives problem just from its network effects and embrace of open protocols.

It will take a while until we can 3d print one of those
I was thinking of WoT by allowing up to 2 or 3 degrees of separation.
If you found a bot or bad npub, the client would tell you which WoT chain allowed you to see it and you could then manually distrust that contact.
It's known that you are connected to everyone else in the world by 7 degrees of separation. So choosing 2 or 3 as default, should be more than enough to break any echo chamber.
I disagree. Spam is very profitable. If PoW is used, bullish on nostr ASICS
That risk would depend on the WoT design. Ultimately it's a trade off between echo chamber vs diversity + potential bots. In an ideal world, that would be a user slider in settings.
What are hug boxes
Then shift focus on actual existing users instead of fictional ones
Been catching up on some pods, this one is a must listen (it was pre-Samourai arrest): https://ungovernablemisfits.com/podcast/the-confab-01-diverter/
Diverter is just top class
Don't bother thinking about it, focus on something more productive.
Apparently he is not and later recognized this in the comments.
The latter
He is ignoring the fact that you can filter out billions of reaction events using WoT without relying on a central authority...
