I won't GM while there's more important shit to be said.
Why have censorship resistant free speech just to say GM? That's retarded
Authorities won't hunt down the ones that comply.
Only 2 or 3 well regulated mints will ever be accepted as "trusted"
He's right though. It's mainly a dev thing + 8k passionate people who stick around.
I also don't like being "pushed" into new things and prefer to find them on my own, so in that aspect, I understand your friend. Each one of us initially dismissed bitcoin and nostr in less than 30 seconds, wether we admit it publicly or not...
It won't likely be rust unless there's a "librust" with a stable ABI. An OS where you need to recompile every package from scratch and bundled is just not going to places.
This is simply not true. Many relays and nostr image hosting sites block Tor users since they use Cloudflare.
Use nostr over Tor exclusively and you see how horrible it is. I still do it anyway
I have a huge respect for nostr:npub12rv5lskctqxxs2c8rf2zlzc7xx3qpvzs3w4etgemauy9thegr43sf485vg and think he is a prolific builder, but I'm 100% with you on this. It's a distraction from what's important
Contrary to Whitlpool or Phoenix shutting down, when mints get seized people will loose funds (and it won't be small amounts, it will be more than they admit) and they will cry and act surprised.
It's essentially "social PGP". Instead of your account being owned by your ActivityPub instance, it's owned by your private key, which you use to sign or encrypt events.
Not only you own your account (mathematically), you also own your social graph, since every "follow" is a public cryptographically signed event.
I'm not trying to shill you, just mentioning it to you because I think you may find it interesting. I'm writing to you from nostr, using one of the 2 AP-nostr bridges. Although bridges are hacky, they still allow open platforms to be glued together, and for me to have found your content.
Anyone can run a relay or exit node without asking permission. I've done both from a VPS with a complete anon account.
No arrests have happened thus far from a Tor compromise. Users usually slip up in their opsec and privacy in some other way.
Plenty of "illegal" services persist as tor hidden services, certainly not because the US intellegence allows it.
Claiming they can "shut it down" or "subvert it" just because they invented it, is like claiming they can do it to the Internet itself since thet also invented it.
Have you heard about nostr?
*I meant that I will never support mempoolfullrbf=0
I will never support mempoolfullrbf=1 and I don't need to. Information wants to be free, any attempt to censor a better, higher-fee transaction is bound to fail miserably.
Non-rbf txs were always a poor gentlemen's agreement.
Interesting read on the minimum length needed for autogenerated passwords by nostr:npub1t9cz9v7zph5jvadd8rjfp25msrx6r0hdxnsyfmx88k8qp3pvv04szt8529 :

I would advise you to try out systemd-networkd and ditch everything else
I trust myself more than I trust containers. For me, simplicity is key
At 11:27 a.m Eastern time today May 14th 2024 governments around the world lost full control over #Monero because now a haveno network called reto is fully online. https://monero.town/post/3143272
it is the Monero version of bisq.
As of this time, two transactions have already occurred, and at least one of them was just a successful test.
It was likely 100% your fault
Explained here:

and here:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/arch_compared_to_other_distributions#Debian
but if I had to summarize it:
* pacman is much better than apt
* AUR is much better than 3rd party ppa repos and almost everything is in there
* most up to date software
* archwiki is the best and most complete linux resource on the entire Web
