Checking in on NOSTR.

Back up and running on gossip.

If AI gets to the point where there are no need for jobs anymore, particularly knowledge work. What incentive is there for people to learn anything anymore?

(FWIW I do not consider ChatGPT and the like to be really AI. For me AI == AGI)

The main thing for me is that there is a lot that goes on behind the scenes in terms of building tools that help make nostr work. It's still early, and there are many niches that can be filled/solved.

Regarding web wallets like Mutiny, couldn't an ISP simply block access to the site?

The answer: I do not have to have sats in a wallet to receive payments.

This is for the signet wallet, but I am assuming it also applies to the main wallet

Let's say I am using a wallet like Mutiny, but I have no sats. Can I still request payments? Or would I have to have sats in it to be able to do that?

Why isn't .NET more popular for things like nostr? Is it a trust issue?

I know there are a few relays that use it.

I don't use .NET, I have dabbled in it. It just seems to be pretty versatile.

Likewise. I figure I am already will to accept responsibility for myself, and I can slowly scale out how much responsibility I can take by managing services for friends and family.

I though so. I knew you can generate an onion address but I am not educated on how they actually work under the hood.

Are there any work arounds to IP addresses? Or rather some other method for finding devices on the internet beside IP?

I have people I care about who are like you describe. I would love for them to care more, but they simply don't.

So I've started to reframe myself as a service provider, and gently encourage them to try out things I self host.

It's not a perfect example of this but: I did get most of my family to join Signal this way.

As an additional point, another thing is people are highly resistant to change. In my experience so far, you can get them to change pretty much once.

For example, once I learned about simplex I tried to get them to switch to that, but no joy.
