Yeah this would do it and be scalable. However, a user could share the key with a friend to grant access to the content. Dunno how much that would matter in practice.

This is a great question. Nostr isn't generally anonymous. Your IP can be logged whenever you communicate with a relay. So I assume as soon as someone starts putting drugs on nostr market, relays will begin getting subpoenas.

What are the ways around this? Use a throwaway nostr identity and route all of your questionably-legal nostr activity through Tor?

Maybe we will see no-log nostr relays pop up. You would still be trusting them though, and a relay could be run by law enforcement trying to catch you. So I don't really see any way except using Tor.

I will forevermore remain a softie for pixelated landscape art.

Hey there nostr vegans -- shall we have an intro thread?

Censorship on mainstream social media is out of control rn

For this reason, bitcoin should be a much larger allocation in a prudent portfolio -- it takes a chunk of the gold allocation, a chunk of the cash allocation, and a chunk of the equity allocation.

Gold is a flexible supply asset. Bitcoin is fixed supply.

Gold can act as savings. But investment is still separate.

Bitcoin, by virtue of having a fixed supply, replaces savings *and* much of investment.

With bitcoin, there would still be equity investment but it would be a small industry with participants willing to stomach risk rather than a massive game than everyone has to play.

We can both agree on the Bitcoin point! Thanks for the reasonable chat Bauzen. I'm gonna follow you now.

I'm aware that Israel is internationally recognized and I think it's legitimate. However that makes it an apartheid state that bombs its own civilians (as long as they are a part of the less desirable class). Also the term should be civil war, but you can immediately see that that isn't realistic because one side has 95% of the power.

You seem to be appealing to futility with "innocent people die in wars". You can use that to justify any and all behavior on the part of Israel, including genocide. I don't think that would be justified, so I don't buy the argument. States should be held accountable to their actions at all times, including during war.

A small Linux server, two external HDDs with software RAID. Seriously.

I used to use Synology NAS even though I had to use an NFS mount to run my own install of nextcloud. I eventually threw it out when I had multiple drives fail at once. So much fewer issues, and easier to configure , with a simple Ubuntu box.

Ok well the OP is about Israel turning Gaza into a smoldering graveyard for children, which you seemed to be defending. Just because Israel has a right to exist doesn't mean it gets a free pass to obliterate civilians living in its occupied territories.

You seem to be saying that Jews are more tolerant and egalitarian in their governance over other religious/ethnic groups, therefore they have the right to round those groups up into a giant concentration camp and then bomb them indiscriminately. Doesn't sound very coherent to me.

Hey the US is primarily Christian, does that mean if millions of Christians were being forced off their land somewhere we'd open our doors to the refugees? Taking refugees is a lot more complicated than just having the same religion.

You're implying that Gazans can just leave. I'm sure many would if they could but there is literally a wall that they can't go past and nobody has offered safe passage out.

Regarding Arabs settling in Israel: Palestinians are already there; the occupied territories are under Israeli rule for all practical purposes, but the Arab residents are not given equal treatment under the law. This is the core of the problem.

There are a dozen countries where the Palestinian people can run? Pray tell where are these dozen and can you please link to a source showing them saying they welcome 2 million refugees?

Ray do you know the bitcoin for Palestine person to be legit? I worry about sending bitcoin to someone I don't know and can't verify that the money is making it's way to help Palestinians.

In the long run it seems like there will be some need for scaling, but for now a few bucks is pretty reasonable for registering a name.

I can't believe these brc20 bros keep relentlessly throwing all their sats at the miners. I assume they will run out of sats at some point and fees will relent.

How much space does it take to register a name? What's the dollar cost when fees are 100sats/vb?

5th Ave NYC shut down to Palestine protests.

Bitcoin is the only force powerful enough to disintermediate existing power structures, and stop the bullies of the world from abusing their power on the defenseless.
