When even gastro websites start to pay attention it must be a sign š 
Just listened to Jack and Odell interview you are referring to. Snowden has an issues with connecting to relays via Tor and it sucks that some big relays have an issues with this. Itās not a nostr issue per se, it is more of how relays are setup.
This tells a lot nostr:note1sqsqvfk7wqfvf3cyn9x52dfd0rqcwzkusay47w28xs0vkgfqsf6qudxsw6
I heard Vitalik is figuring out why proof of work actually matters
Today I tried Keet for a video call and it worked flawlessly
The more I think about it the more curious I become as to why nobody tried this before
In a world of censorship and cancel culture, encrypted P2P communication is really the only way to protect privacy since thereās no middle man to fuck
But to survive governmental pressures open source is a necessity
Nostr is censorship resistant only as much relays are censorship resistant
A time will come when governmental mafia will start focusing on relay operators to control them
It is inevitable if Nostr succeeds to attract millions of users
Relays are Achilles heel of Nostr
NO !
But, in case you really underestimate the stupidity of such an
idea you are free to implement it. Nostr is open protocol and anyone can build anything on it.

Nostr is a protocol and basically just set of rules around which people build different apps. No one can stop nostr but you are right about apps and relays. In future I am sure we're gonna see many such cases.
If I run a relay which propagates illegal content and the government decides to fuck me - I am fucked. Before locking me up they might try to put a pressure on me to reveal the IP of the users who distribute illegal content and if I am unable or unwilling to do so - I am fucked.
From the users perspective the only way to use nostr absolutely privately and anonymously is though tor as all relays are aware of users IP addresses.
But the thing is - anyone can run relay and the most important thing is to decentralize relays as much as possible so that there is really no "one head to cut off". And I am sure they will try to intimidate replay owners buy fucking up some people as an example eventually.
Spot on nostr:note19y9jn5kgdtwcrvt49rufw7jqaxwymjvrh623xz7x3zfrtcs87fts2zy7zr
Off course not. If we could vote our way out of stupidity Iām sure we would have done it a long time ago. Or maybe every generation has to fight with itās own stupidity over and over again
Since I find to-do lists extremely useful and use it every day I ended up building my own custom webapp to manage all my tasks which I can host my self and access from anywhere. All the apps out there are either too simple or too complicated for what I need.
Probably some shit hole none ever heard about
Maybe itās just a business philosophy to give users access to freedom money since they want to be regarded as freedom email. On the way they might even get few users who know
Probably nothing šŖ
During nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m's talk with nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx he mentioned that nostr isn't doing enough to prevent tracking. Does anyone have more information on this? I thought that accessing it over tor was sufficient, so is tor still not enough, is tor unable to access nostr again, or is using tor itself too difficult? #asknostr
Iām guessing he meant that nostr is not doing enough to prevent tracking unless you use tor since almost nobody uses tor to access nostr.
Last day on 3 week vacation and I canāt wait to go home to my productive state of mind and continue building things
This vacation thing is boring as hell
When you mention the word Burgundy the taste of miraculous wine overwhelms my senses
I am using my own relay to have backup of all my data so no relay can rug me but in general it is quite a challenge to onboard millions of users and not use some level of relay centralization
