There is ZapplePay, which uses to NWC to send a zap when you like a note. A better way is to simply re-enable zaps in Damus using nostrscript. Open the link below, click the button to run the script, and restart Damus.

Did you ever stop and *really* think about what it means to "do a Satoshi Nakamoto"?

Context for my weird question: I have met many, many bitcoiners over the years. Many of them take a stab at keeping privacy by doing some combo of: not revealing name, not revealing location, not revealing face. Etc. So often, if I happen to meet them in person, they end up revealing the things that they were hiding online. Quite literally a mask came off (pre covid!) once we started drinking - a simple, funny anecdotal example of what I mean. Many complain about photos being taken, many focus on always using a pseudonym. I'm sure most people reading recognize these patterns of behaviour.

I can see the purpose, up to a point, so this is not criticism. It's a little like me doing coinjoin "here and there" - you don't expect to defend yourself against a hyper powerful aggressor, only against a casual criminal looking for an easy score.

But if you do want *real* defence against *strong* attackers, you have a huge problem. These half-measures will be useless, perhaps worse than that, if you get overconfident, because the determined investigator only needs *one* strand to pull on, and the measures I describe above, which are almost always rules only half-stuck to anyway, don't cut it, at all.

Which brings me to my point: is it even possible to "go all the way"? Clearly it is; Satoshi Nakamoto is not the only person who's ever done it, but it's pretty damn rare at the very least.

Imagine what it would mean. If you are engaged in a serious project, that takes let's say at least a year's worth of full time work, then you are going to do that for no reward. Not just, no money, people do that quite often when it comes to things they genuinely enjoy, but no recognition, no social context, not even "oh I won't bother you because I know you're busy with that project". Nobody will say that because nobody will know. Imagine doing a full, intense 8 hour day of work (more likely, split over many days) and knowing that there will *never* be a direct reward of any form, for that. And then doing it again, and again.

What's more, you don't just "not get a reward". You have to do almost double the work, to ensure that at every step, every pushed commit or technical discussion, does not expose anything at the network trace level, or the language, vocabulary etc. Managing tricky pseudonym accounts, handling the headaches of Tor etc. I'm not trying to say it needs super-genius level tech skills, I'm trying to say it's a massive amount of effort.

Could you do that? I daren't even ask the question of myself, because I'm almost sure it's a no. But to *imagine* where that kind of motivation would come from, that's what fascinates me.

Of course it is fast. People even implemented it in QBasic 30 years ago.

I think RC4 is being treated unfairly.

If I post a gigabyte-large file and the only thing you know about it is that it's been encrypted with RC4-drop777, will you be able to crack it?

Information/nothingness and the further you get away from the information, the deeper the nothingness that surrounds you.

Clinging to the Information is clinging to the Light is clinging to the Good is clinging to the Truth is...

There is the

physical and the metaphysical,

the real and the incorporeal,

the abstract and the concrete,

the theoretical and the practical,

the notional and the concrete,

the hypothetical and the proven,

the natural and the supernatural.

That is all that there is.

I suggest you look into Lyn’s work to see if she is a bullshiter !!

Why does that make it bullshitty? Percentage changes could be correlated.

Bitcoin vs global liquidity:

I think we need to update clients so you don’t see a ton of copies of a repost when a lot of people repost the same thing.

#live #quote

Hit the nail on the head 😁

Add some #footstr, or something.

But I don't know how much longer I can live off of it, so I'm stacking sats and firewood, and making sure everyone knows how cute I am, so that they don't forget to feed me and can resist the urge to strangle me when I won't STFU.

yes. it may be dangerous because it has no stakes.
