Running Bitcoin and Nostr

It has always worked for me, I have never had any issues apart from the login. I have just started it now and I can connect. Try reinstalling it.

JAM makes JoinMarket really easy, it is worth spending time on it.

Sooooo I’m trying to install Jam on my nostr:npub1aghreq2dpz3h3799hrawev5gf5zc2kt4ch9ykhp9utt0jd3gdu2qtlmhct node. Installing works fine. But when opening the app, this weird looking popup keeps showing up. I used the password and username that showed up in the appstore, but the pop up keeps coming back 🤔

Anyone here who can help me out?

There seems to be an issue connecting in the last months. You need to login and IMMEDIATELY click on the screen behind the login popup. Then it works.

Inspired by nostr:npub1dhvlm7aumyhy60mlv3lemk4newny4uwkdc9ahcskk4lvatytq4vq60lcq6's ebook, I have decided to help and contribute to bitcoin-only and Nostr projects in my free time. I’ll do it entirely for free, I just want to see this ecosystem grow and reach as many people as possible, always with security and privacy in mind.

If you want advice or help on system security, cloud security, PKI, privacy, security assurance or similar hit my DM.

Please share it with anybody who might be interested.

Cheers,

This excites me beyond reason

There is value in simplicity. You don’t need such a convoluted architecture to sit on, you don’t to need to manage 2 different tokens for gas fees, etc. That adds risks.

Nostr demonstrates there is a simpler (and more resilient) way to architect such a protocol.

Nostr is a far more robust protocol than Farcaster.

Here are a few simple metrics:

Github contributers: Farcaster: 20, Nostr: 132

Open Pull requests: Farcaster: 3, Nostr: 199

Social clients: Farcaster: 2 (but really Warpcast has 90%+ of users), Nostr: Too many to count 😂 (https://www.nostrapps.com/)

From a technical standpoint, Farcaster requires a global consensus amounst all hubs (the servers that store the data). This means that in the case of a hostile regeime pressuing a hub operator to remove certain posts, they would be force to complelty fork off of the network. (Global consensus also means that at scale, hub operation will get very expensive and out of reach for all but the largest clients). Nostr on the other hand operates through relays that store and serve posts and events. You can have a small relay that only stores the events from you and your followers, or a larger relay that anyone can write to. There is no "global state" so the network can never be out of consensus, you just query the relays that your friends post to to retreive their events.

And lastly, requiring users to pay a centralized entity to sign up (the cost of which is subject to change on the whim of the founder) is not a free and open protocol.

A decentralised social media doesn’t need a token. You need integration with native internet money, but the idea of the entire infrastructure sitting on a token-based “blockchain” is idiotic.

Also, the fact that Eth chose to become “ultra sound” rather than a cheap utility token makes these use cases even more destined to fail. PoS prices out new users vs current stakers who accumulate for free, and this creates the opposite incentives you want for your social media protocol.

How much did Brian’s JPEG cost again?

S&P is at ATH, your call.

If you’re thinking about home mining, do not expect profits unless you have access to free energy. Consider them as heaters that generate KYC-free sats on the side, which is cool. You also help the decentralization of the network. Connect them to nostr:npub1qtvl2em0llpnnllffhat8zltugwwz97x79gfmxfz4qk52n6zpk3qq87dze
