When you get into radio gear, you start seeing things differently... 👀

Also, it's been out for, what, a couple weeks? I'd call that bleeding edge no matter what the version number is

I always have low expectations for software with a 0 in the version number
You are a hero to those of us who are waiting until the 1.x line makes it into Debian's Stable release. Keep working out the issues with bleeding edge releases for the rest of us. 🙏
If you like that one, you'll love the #meshtastic pics for #March and #May! 👨🍳💋
Not at all, but it was (and still is) the wild west of IRC. The link velow provides a little background, but the punchline here is that it's where many (most?) of the old school hackers (in all senses of the word) hung out in the 90s.
Curious about #LoRa, #meshtastic or #reticulum and want to know how fast it goes (when using LoRa)? Look no further!
So, yeah, when people say low bandwidth, they really mean it. But then again, getting a half mile range in substandard conditions is pretty rad. It's not a good solution for everything, but I think it has its place.
I joined because someone with a weird name was poating interestimg things on ActivityPub. I later found out that it was someone on Nostr and I was seeing it through a bridge.
The next question is why did I stay? After mutitng a bunch of loud assholes, and getting connected with people who are building stuff and making the world a better place, I decided that I like it here.
It's like the EFnet of the old days. And if you know what that means, we should hang out some time. 😂
Today, I need your help.
We developed a #smartContract based system to finally stop the exploitation of #opensource developers. (https://www.license-token.com/)
In short, it is a license (inspired by the server side and apache license) and smart contracts. With the token based apporach, everybody can fork and extend code, but with the condition that commercial use leads to developer compensation over the Blockchain.
The approach was already applied in the Fahrbar20 project of the German government.
Now, this is a first implementation and we need more reference project to improve the approach further.
Hence, I reach out for:
- gathering #feedback
- interested projects to collaborate
- fellows who help to spread the word
- supporter who buy something from our project funding NFT collection.
Any kind of help and may it just so small is appreciated. Thank you already in advance.
Best

The website seems to be sparse on details. Is there some place I can read about what mechanism forces commercial users to obtain a license, or who determines if a particular use is "commercial"?
As a simple example, if a group of friends runs a chat server and doesn't charge money, that's presumably non-commercial. If their friends chip in to help cover costs, does it then become a commercial use?
There needs to be something in the protocol that allows them to specify this. I believe the zap privacy is just about whether the client posts a public note on Nostr that says you zapped their note, or posts a DM, or posts nothing at all. And I'm not sure how that last option differs from anonymous.
That's not just a Damus thing, either. It's in Amethyst too, and I suspect is a defined standard somewhere.
A NIP saying note type XYZ is for notes that can't be shared (boosted, broadcast, etc.) but are otherwise to be treated like type 1 notes.
Sure, for limiting the initial distribution, but once a client has a note, they can do whatever they want with it. Including boosting it to all the relays they use.
A private relay would get you part way there. The big problems I see with it are:
- People who do have access could still easily "broadcast" or boost" your notes and they could be published to other relays (perhaps b/c they didn't realize it was intended to be private)
- You'd need a different relay for each group. So one for your snowboarding friends, one for your gun friends, one for cross fit, another for cross stitch, and so on
AFAIK there's no way to express what you'd like people to do with your posts. Being able to include things like "no sharing" seems like a good one. There's no guarantee that people and clients would respect that, but it'd be better to at least have the freedom to express what you want.
I would agree with most of that before the lightning network existed. Now Bitcoin really is like cash. Both are imperfect and both offer a significant degree of privacy.
If you want more details, I'd suggest the privacy chapter of the book "Resistance Money". It lays it out in great detail, with citations and it includes fun tidbits like that those automated checkouts at stores scan the serial numbers of bills.
How would you imagine that would work under the hood? Encrypt with a key that is shared with all your followers (or a circle of friends)?
I've heard of a person who was having a similar problem when giving certain types of gun trainings. The solution they came up with was to remove the barrel and firing pin at which point they didn't consider it a gun because it was incapable of being fired. At the same time, it was not clearly a toy, so it had the same psychological effect when it was pointed at someone.
Your bad faith arguments aren't winning anyone over.
It's simple. Bitcoin has privacy. Just accept that simple fact.
Monero has better privacy, and I hope Bitcoin gets some protocol level updates to try to get closer to where monero is.
Try having an honest conversation with people. Trying to belittle people isn't going to be very effective. Besides, you can avoid looking childish if you talk to people like an adult.
I am not trying to prep you from the worst. Thanks
