You can be bullish on some tech but still not believe it will have mass adoption or that it requires such a thing to succeed.
Bittorrent doesn't have mass adoption but I'm more than happy with the status quo.
I am more of an optimist than what you take me for 😉
TBF all monero wallets I've tried have shitty UX where you need to wait for it to sync everytime you open them
Only monerod but lopp had a nice blogpost comparing various IBDs
I'll say this as nicely as I can: it's not easy to run a bitcoin node in the sense that it's not that much easier than many other popular blockchains.
From the moment you need:
* 1 TB of space
* >12 hours for IBD
* Stable fast reliable internet
* decent always-on computer (phone or raspi won't cut it)
...you can't claim it's "easy".
It's something only passionate people will ever do, that's why there's at best 50k nodes.
For this to change, we would need something like a lightweight node android app with optimizations such as ZeroSync and UTreeXO. It could even be integrated inside a wallet.
Glad to hear it!
I don't see anything. It's possible that I have more filter lists enabled than you?
Can you send me an example link?
Are you saving it as a rule?

Why would they do that? Just to DoS relays?
One of the things that surprises me the most about nostr is that most relays honor deletion requests.
I'm in EU too, but I've been able to put all these streams using VPNs for geographic arbitrage.
If there's enough demand, I'll do it
That's where you are mistaken. I have no presence there. I have no reddit account. I just read reddit if it's relevant and where the information is.
Also even if I did, I'm not an evangelist or a shill. I don't do orange pilling, purple pilling or any kind of pilling. People should use whatever the fuck they want, I don't have to convince anyone.
"CNN has implemented insanely strict measures for the first 2024 presidential debate, effectively banning citizen journalists and independent coverage. No one can use any video or audio from the debate without explicit permission." says Mario Nawfal on Twitter.
Would really be a shame if someone hosted the debate live on https://zap.stream and published it as a torrent on https://dtan.xyz afterwards... 😏
You'll do it? Or should I?
First time I checked was yesterday, but I have this VPS for more than 1 year now.
This kind of logic, when taken to the extreme means that you are handicapping your access to information.
Reddit is not just politics, it has tremendous value in technical subs. Many of my search queries yield answers that only exist on reddit.
