For context re: Craig Wright and Calvin Ayre and why there should be no mercy.

My life changed completely on March 29th, 2019. Almost five years ago now.

I had made several tweets, warning people about Craig Wright, and making my opinion about him clear. A matter of very public interest.

I was sent a legal letter on twitter DM, where it was made clear that I either had to apologize and acknowledge Craig as Satoshi, or they would file a libel case against me in UK.

When I didn't comply, Craig and Calvin put a public $5000 bounty on my identity and then firmly doxxed me after finding out who I was.

They proceeded to put private intelligence surveillance on me, that have tried to gain access to my social circle, both online and physically. Presence in 100s of groups. Monitoring my house. Producing regular, detailed reports on all my activity. Travelled where I travelled and so on. And god knows what else. This is still going on today.

I have been continuosly smeared and lied about on social media and in Coingeek, the publication owned by Calvin.

Threatened directly/personally with bankruptcy and worse by Calvin and his followers on twitter, with my real name, on countless occasions.

Anonymous phone calls with indirect threats.

My dad was fighting against cancer when this all started. I was dealing with constant legal pressure and threats throughout his fight. When he finally died late 2020, the legal pressure was at a peak and my funding situation was uncertain.

I've had to give up tons of private communication in discovery, to prove I had not been behind "an organized and vicious campaign against Craig."

I've had to turn down professional opportunities, since a good percentage of my bandwidth has been continuously occupied with defending myself legally. The amount of legal letters, hearings, appeals, judgments etc are beyond belief.

I've lived since 2019, with the constant knowledge that my house and belongings are on the line, and Craig's stated goal of bankrupting his enemies would be reality if I lost.

All the while I've tried to, and largely managed, to shield my child and family as well as possible, but I know all of this has put stress on them as well.

No mercy for these people.

Only Welcome to Law.

Who‘s Craig even? I hear this name for the first time here.

I’ve seen so many people say they won’t use Nostr because we don’t support delete. This is really frustrating, because Nostr DOES support delete, it’s right there in the NIP’s! We’ve got delete in nostr:npub1pu3vqm4vzqpxsnhuc684dp2qaq6z69sf65yte4p39spcucv5lzmqswtfch, but most apps don’t expose the functionality to users because they either don’t like the idea of delete or can’t be sure that something is 100% deleted. That misses the point, delete is as much about social signaling as it is about getting rid of the content.

Here’s my argument for how we should think about and support delete in nostr. In case your client doesn’t support long form content, here’s the njump link: https://njump.me/naddr1qq2ksje3g9trxujpxymyxjjlg5ckjmmrtguyxq3qpu3vqm4vzqpxsnhuc684dp2qaq6z69sf65yte4p39spcucv5lzmqxpqqqp65wk06e7u nostr:note1hldm4z430w76dn2ywzwjnafytnvyt7gsg6nhk3l8a3x8utzl88asl06u8m

It‘s rather an update of the content, right? Replaceable with an excuse.

Maybe there should be a „regret“ button instead 😝

Please elaborate. What‘s inherently bad about FTP? That it‘s an active protocol?

You should talk to Scott Chacon. He‘s rethinking Git based on CRDT (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conflict-free_replicated_data_type). The idea would be that you could merge Git and GDocs editing processes. He just open sourced his main project today: https://github.com/gitbutlerapp/gitbutler

I suggest, we use nostr instead of alert.swiss? #Switzerland

Then how do you learn what it takes to bring something upstream? We for example encourage our interns to propose changes to open source projects. There is a lot to learn there about how to do things properly. All assuming you don‘t treat GitHub as if it was a GDoc or CMS.

Oh yes, and we deployed in milliseconds using Ctrl+S in the Notepad++ FTP plugin!

You’re right, that’s wishful thinking. Seriously now, the JS build system is horrible. I hate my node_modules folder and cryptic webpack configurations with all my guts.

But also it was worse: remember gulp? Today we‘ve got importmaps, JS gets more TS features built-in, TailwindCSS brings us alternatives to hunky CSS files and much more. I hope,
