A lot of extended adolescents out there.
Nice try fed :) 
The Unintended Consequences #Linux's #Wayland Adoption Will Have on #BSD

The Linux-isms have been a growing problem for the BSDs. Seems like developers no longer care about non-Linux. I think that is a detriment to the ecosystem as a whole.
Is it on chain vs lightning? And the different lightning types?
I would assume that on chain payments are pretty straightforward.
Freedom go up >> number go up
Number go up will happen with adoption. But we need to hold to the core freedom values of Bitcoin.
I really believe that Trump uses these reactions to shape his policy. He’s always trying to see what part of his message resonates.
Man I feel old. Walking into a restaurant today and there was a newspaper stand outside. My 10 year old sees it and says “is that a newspaper? I’ve heard about those! Can we get one?!”
The world has changed. Sometimes you forget how much.
100% correct. nostr:note1ettdd4eeqkmcfdsuf4njt8xek2jsj4f2eejxuvtme9dyu230d7es5urz6n

Go outside. Touch grass. Smoke meat. 
Coinjoin it or sell it all back and then buy non-KYC?
We are still separating the state from control of the money. The state is one of the biggest users of money, so we can’t keep them out forever.
There are no spam transactions in bitcoin. Only consensus valid transactions. Spam is a value judgement. Part of a permission-less network is having people use the network in ways that you don’t approve of.
Prediction: lots of cringe
I chose to go with a BSD to give the bitcoin network a little bit more diversity of operating systems. Bitcoin is likely a heavily Linux leaning install base. But that might be hard mode with ordinals software. Don’t know how well they run on non-Linux.
Ok – so Signal is great. Good encryption, etc. Obviously, the main thing that we want to improve there is the centralized coordinator in the middle.
My original proposal was an adaptation of the Signal protocol for Nostr. https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/2169fab971591d0b4a450ef08aeb6301c5d2a0da/104.md
But I got lots of feedback on that one that 1) group messaging needs to be first class and 2) multiple device support needs to be first class. Both of these are actually the same thing - supporting groups.
With the signal protocol, the way that the symmetric encryption works, when you're in a group, you're effectively creating a DM to every member of the group, encrypting it separately, and sending it out. Signal makes this feel like less of a big deal because they do some tricks on the server side to make it less heavy for the client.
In the nostr version of the signal protocol, you have no server to do work for you, so your device has to do all that work itself.
With MLS, because it's using a different data structure (binary trees) for managing encryption keys and users in a group, you go from a situation where group scaling is a linear problem (each new user in a group adds the same amount of work for all clients) to a log problem (where each new user in a group adds wayyyy less work for all clients).
There are also other benefits of MLS.
1) it's about to be an internet standard (like TLS, etc) so we conceivably get interoperability with other networks/clients
2) it's built to allow for the use of multiple ciphersuites and the graceful change/upgrade of the ciphersuites over time.
The only drawback is that it's very complex and very new. My work so far on getting MLS to Nostr has been focused on updating dependency libraries to allow for support of schnorr signatures over the secp256k1 curve (what nostr - and bitcoin - uses). I'm very convinced this is the right long-term solution for private messaging on Nostr but it's going to take a bit longer to get it probably ready for implementation.
If you haven't see it already, you can follow along with what I'm doing in my weekly posts. Also, if you're interested in working with me on all this, that'd be awesome.

This is really exciting. Thanks for your work on it.
That was my question. That’s the only reason I can think of that makes sense.
