Celebrating a surprisingly successful move into an apartment bigger and nicer, than our previous house, where we pay no rent. 🥂

One TV clown appoints another TV clown 🤡 hahahaha nostr:note1tm7g2rusyt8y8xmrwpa348yghf6qyrqj3kjfnamfefwq93tgxxvq5fsu9m

If someone non-consensually shares an nsec with you, is that an intellectual equivalent of a dick pic?

#asknostr

We’ve submitted a proposal to an international society to organize a conference on decentralized social networks, with Nostr as the main topic. Fortunately, the proposal has been approved, and we’re now working out the details. I’m actively trying to align the conference dates and location with next year’s Nostr events. The goal is to introduce Nostr to academics and promote further research. Hope everything goes well.

it's definitely getting increasingly less interesting to read the same daily digest of nostr enthusiasm ...

There is a giant unprecedented experiment in finance going on in the FIAT system, and everyone is a guinea pig. Bitcoin is the only way to not participate in it.

This is how I talk about bitcoin to normies these days 😛

Nostur TestFlight update lets you create a nest from within the app 👀

I don’t see how the decision to show closed stores when you select open now could possibly be a mistake. They’re too methodical and competent to brake a simple “open now” filter. The question is what drove google to decide to so blatantly disregard user requests.

There is information asymmetry, some are better informed, others less. Many collectives have intentional information silos, so those in power can stay in power. Others use radical transparency, which is better, but then everyone has a different skill sets and Dunning-Kruger types start wasting everybody else's time. You don't need democracy and everyone to vote on everything. There are ways to make decentralized yet focused and efficient dev teams, but those are never implemented because from a guy who gets funding and is his own boss, you turn into an equal and judged by others. Peer review is hated by the ego, everybody tries to avoid it. If there is any voting, my number one priority would be complete anonymity, not even commit-reveal schemes.

It is a Pandora's box. Who is human, who isn't. A whole game theory of tokenized voting systems, quadratic voting, futarchy, sybil resistance, malicious actors, power games, and in the end there are always unhappy people. The whole thing would only suck fund money to waste time and money on dead ends. Some larpers pretending to be smart and buillding the future will get rich while kicking the can, without useful results.

Let's try, I will supoort any effort, but I've lived it, and I have a bad aftertaste.
