Great times, I remember sharing .jar games with friends over Bluetooth and IR (but we never got IR working back then).
State level attackers can get you anyways if they want. They can do crazy stuff if required. But the costs are high and they won't care about nostr people.
Thats the dream.
Ordering a private taxi over a open Taxi Nostr client.
Paying the taxi driver directly to their own lightning channel through the Taxi client.
95% goes to the driver, 5% to the devs and infrastructure operators.
No taxes, no minimum wage, no licenses. Everyone is happy.
I'd bet they could earn more income than they do now while taxis could be much cheaper for customers.
Then the taxi driver could recharge their electric car tax free using something like nostr:nprofile1qqstc5wc47u27v8ud0kn7wwz6qzkh9gu0rcs2kca4ejuphgqd5vmlngpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzv9hxgtc7486nw 's distributed charge.
Though, as you say, the rent seeking class won't allow this, even though the tech is available. I imagine they would sue and repress taxi drivers and charging station operators participating in an ecosystem like this.
Why did nobody invent it before though?
Nostr feels like the JavaScript of networking protocols
Just wanted to comment this, then saw your comment😂
Mutiny with Federations is my new favourite to recommend
They should. Plebs should start their own pool. But no one wants to because everyone is money hungry
What's the point of your own pool or a small pleb pool? If you don't have huge hashrate you will never find a block anyways, that's the point of people hashing to big pools.
Too many are confusing pools with miners IMO.
Miners can switch their pool on the click of a button.
Thanks.
I'm going to have to study Fedimint (https://fedimint.org/) and Cashu (https://wallet.cashu.me/).
Here is a great introduction to the technical side of chaumian ecash by nostr:npub1vadcfln4ugt2h9ruwsuwu5vu5am4xaka7pw6m7axy79aqyhp6u5q9knuu7
Fedimint will be enough for the planet. Tons of small, unregulated federations < 1000 users will be reasonable secure and way more distributed than the current banking system.
Normal users just want do download an app and start transacting, and this is a great solution without capturing them in a single regulated custodian.
Testnet hasn't been reset in over a decade. People forgot. Time for another reset...

This should really be done to prevent further potential damage resulting of an unintended testnet monetazion
Hello, I will be focused on the technical side of bitcoin here.
