🚨 My spook detector is 99% sure this isn't a normal Lightning node
This would not surprise me at all.
Quick side story: I once chatted with (self proclaimed) FBI agent at a Bitcoin conference in Austin and they had quite a lot of questions to which I was "no comment".
I think they insert one into every community and give them list of questions to assess how "extremist" the community is...
You can always trace back all the steps, events and motivations to the beginning of time...
Well, first this fish thing adapted to live on land...
I think there would be entertainment value in getting them for interview...
Welcome 🫂 What are you researching?
Using the lightning labs solution?

None of my nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm NWC connections work anymore. I’m back to manual zaps like it’s a year ago.
My Alby nwc seem so work well from Amethyst, so I wonder what is the issue?
Yeah, it's a good point and I would be interested what other folks think here, but to me what Nintendo did still sounds like a fair game.
I'm happy to report that our baby boy reliably falls asleep while listening to the voice of nostr:npub1s5yq6wadwrxde4lhfs56gn64hwzuhnfa6r9mj476r5s4hkunzgzqrs6q7z.
Thank you Preston! ☺️

One interesting finding: at the UC Berkeley, there is a program "Chicanx Latinx Studies" where students are
- taught to demand help and support because they are victims.
- asked to write graded papers analyzing (non-critically) the work of Karl Marx or using it as a source to build their thesis on different forms of oppressions
and other fun stuff...

Oh, I didn't mean to sound offensive. Sorry for that.
I think if your definition of communism is that
- everyone is free to join or leave anytime they want
- everyone is free to use "it" however they want
- people that provide value (e.g. mining) get rewarded with proportional buying power and can spend it on whatever they want
- it can't be subverted/changed by a single "leader"/committee
- it doesn't split people into two classes of "good" and "bad"
Then yes, according to this definition Bitcoin would be communist. I spent couple years living under communism and I would definitely NOT use this definition.
My first Nostr note is from Dec 29, 2021 (on my other account).
What about you? #nostr #history
Free market was the fact that Atari did it one way and Nintendo could do it another way while people could freely choose between them.
It's true that restrictions breed creativity...
You asked for help and so I thought that reference may help you. It doesn't look like it did.
One thing that could help you is looking at all previous cases of communism and digging into how did those end up working.
I think I'd still rather protest in EU countries than in Russia, because even though they will beat you and arrest you in both, I think you have a larger chance to get out of in EU.
The good thing about post-soviet slavic countries is that the police is generally not as strong and as armed as in the US. So during the protests it's more of a fair game.
