Live performances have nothing to do with Nostr.
NostrNests is a git clone of https://jam.systems/ with a pop-up form asking for anybody's pubkey and to upload any image. It doesn't even do any Nostr key pair verification, there is no actual integration with Nostr.
You can impersonate anybody there. Upload Jack's avatar and paste in his pubkey, whamo. Indistinguishable, because there is no actual Nostr integration, just a form asking for anybody's Nostr info. No authentication even.
Not that it matters, logging in at all is pointless unless you're a presenter, since you can't interact with each other, anyway.
Just Pear Credit, but thanks for adding to the list ;-).
5. Holepunch
VDO.Ninja uses websockets, as does Nostr, but there is no reliance on a relay server -- just a handshake server which opens the websockets connection directly between you and your peer(s) web browser.
It's completely anonymous, as in no public keys or unique identifiers. Which reminds me!
6. https://simplex.chat a Direct Messenger without User IDs (!) that appears even more secure than Session. You'll need Android 10+ to run the Android app, haven't tried the iOS app.
1. https://vdo.ninja for browser-to-browser video conference calls using websockets - can self-host the handshake server - see https://docs.vdo.ninja
2. https://wormhole.app for anonymous file transfers with e2e encryption (p2p in the works)
3. https://picfinder.ai for hyper fast text2img idea generation
4. Pear Credit for individuals and businesses to offer their own fee-less gift cards / reward points / currencies via p2p Lightning-style channels -- without a blockchain and all the work and fees required to maintain a single authoritative global state. Double spending is discovered, not pre-empted, and this trade-off enables an akshully decentralized system of ledgers, just like Nostr.
Bitcoin enthusiasts hate decentralization. They want One Grand Unified Ledger with every transaction across the globa. They want One Global Currency which is the BTC.
Just try to suggest a plurality of solutions for storing value, exchanges of various sizes, maybe for offline exchanges, and they become irate. Suggest maybe the future is multi-polar rather than uni-polar (they call this ideal future global state 'hyperbitcoinization').
Bitcoin is not decentralized. A single authoritative version of all-the-data distributed across multiple nodes is properly called centralized + distributed. Not actually decentralized like Nostr.
Oh, please. Bitcoin fluctuated 24.3% between below $21,500 and above $25,000. "stabler than a raft of mainstream assets" my hind leg!
Of course, with any volatile asset lines will cross sometimes at arbitrary dates. And that's all this is, two arbitrary dates (Feb 1 and Feb 28) that wildly fluctuating (by fully 1/4 in a month!) lines happen to cross. You could take Dec 19, 2020 and Feb 28, 2023 and write the same article; this would be no more deceitful.
Bitcoin is not becoming less volatile, nor can it. It is engineered to be volatile. Bitcoin developers decided against a market-determined rate of supply, opting instead for a centrally planned rate of supply, artificially fixed in advance. This disables Bitcoin's rate of supply from fluctuating naturally in response to market demand -- which is *the* price stabilizing mechanism.
All it takes to swing the price wildly for a whale is to feign demand by wash trading with your own wallets. Happens all the time, it's called priming the price before a big dump or buy. Bitcoin developers chose central planning over a market determined rate of supply because they wanted it to be volatile, forever. That planned price volatility is also the only reason it gets on the evening news.
There's enough monopolist Bitcoin spam on here already.
You're busy missing a live piano concert, I'm not sure how Nostr is involved apart from the login tho - https://nostrnests.com/vv7kka
There's a mute feature for that, but I will continue to add my commentary to your posts on this free speech platform for other readers of your ignorantly (as in you don't even realize it's centralized, centrally planned and monopolistic) monopolistic propaganda.
It's not even pretty good for privacy. ;-) It's important to understand the terminology. Private in data terminology means inaccessible to just anyone. Public means accessible to just anyone. Encryption has nothing to do with privacy, and it cannot provide privacy, only obfuscation. Whether you have privacy and/or obfuscation are two separate questions.
Whether you have obfuscation depends on whether you're using encrypted DM's or not (which can be unobfuscated when any party leaks their private key, so even your obfuscation is out of your hands).
Whether you have privacy depends on whether you're connected strictly to private or public relays. Privacy therefore has nothing to do with Nostr, and the Nostr protocol does nothing to ensure privacy. Privacy by definition of 'not publicly accessible' depends only on your relay servers' firewall and iptables configurations.
Time flies on here.
Well put. You could also point out that Nostr does not have one authoritative version of all-the-data since it doesn't attempt to maintain a single authoritative global ledger.
A single authoritative relay state containing all-the-data would make it centralized and distributed over a CDN, like Facebook or the Bitcoin blockchain, not truly decentralized like Nostr.
I can be clearer than this.
Exists: Has shape.
Can a man desire to fuck more than one woman?
No. Obviously. /s
With that definition you make the question senseless.
Then you should define `love` to communicate what you mean by that mouthnoise.
Bitcoin's grand unified, eternal immutable surveillance blockchain is centralized and distributed... not decentralized like Nostr.
Bitcoin has a centrally planned rate of supply, artificially fixed in advance, by it's unknown central planner(s). If Bitcoin had a market-determined rate of supply, supply could fluctuate in response to changes in market demand. This is *the* price stabilizing mechanism with any non-fiat good with supply left to market forces.
Bitcoin is a fiat good (by decree - not made up of existing components - 42M could have been decreed just as cheaply as 21M, which doesn't even appear in the whitepaper -- it's an arbitrary number selected by it's central planner).
Altruism is a guilty pleasure. One I indulge while knowing I shouldn't. It's awful economically.
Obviously, the society that lives on altruism alone must die of starvation and exposure, as there were no net gains as in mutual exchanges where both parties profit (not only the seller). Not only the one accepting money profits from a purchase. We can say for sure the one paying money (the voluntary 'buyer') also expects to profit in his own estimation, else he would not have bought.
Then again, I'm talking to people who talk like a fixed-pie gambling pool can lift all boats, somehow.
Are you a monopolist promoting one grand solution, a single asset, to all monetary issues and use cases, or are you open to a decentralized plurality of solutions, e.g. ones that can work when the Internet doesn't?
It cracks me up whenever people mention Nostr and privacy in the same post. PGP = Pretty Good Privacy. This is the most public social network. You should specify you're talking about Nostr DM's, which are stored in multiple public folders leaking all your from/to/when/how-often meta data.
Sure it's like PGP... if anyone at all could log into your mailbox and see everything except message content. Could poke around, see who is sliding into your DM's at what time of day, who messages more, how often, etc.
Go on, login with one of the big shot Nostr accounts' npub and you can tell immediately which opposite sexes are being engaged how often.
Oh, and the 'original cypherpunks' pubkey cryptography = 1991? Does Clifford Cocks in 1973 not count because he was working for the Man? https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Clifford_Cocks
