I like BTC Sessions point of view on this. Operator wont be known and they will build a "kind of trust" over time.

My opinion is to only put your spending amounts on this and to use tools to automatically use multiple mints and reduce the risk.

Also, I wonder if we could have a federated mint with thousands of people. 🤔

Unfortunately, scammers will start operating mints without relieving their identities of course and do this so well that they will gain enough trust to hold substantial amounts of btc. Then, they will rug pull. There has to be some kind of collateral that the mint locks on-chain, which gets lost/donated if the mint does not allow users to pull their funds.

Announcing: Harbor, an ecash desktop wallet for better bitcoin privacy.

Privacy for the common person is a value worth fighting for. When we see a lack of freedom tools, we must build them into existence. They don't appear on their own.

Much has been said about privacy at the Bitcoin protocol level. For now, we build it on higher layers where we can be more nimble.

Ecash is a tool available today that combines with Bitcoin to bring new levels of common privacy. Cashu and Fedimint are two existing implementations we're interested in.

Harbor Privacy: All communication runs over Tor. Mutiny is not in the middle of any connections or transactions. Funds in the wallet get a Privacy Score to show how the mints provide privacy over time. More to come on this in the future.

Harbor Multi-mint: Instead of relying on a single mint with your funds, spread the risk over dozens or more. Harbor manages this for you, showing you a single balance while connecting with mints for you. A mint can go offline with minimal impact on you.

Harbor Automation: Running as a desktop app unlocks ability to do long running processes in the background. Move money in and out of mints on your preferred schedule to maximize your desired level of privacy. Harbor makes suggestions, but you are in control.

Move money in and out of Harbor using Lightning or on-chain. We love Bitcoin, and we love privacy. We hope Harbor gives everyday people more privacy and peace of mind.

I appreciate the effort, but even if we assume that mint operators are good people and will not rug pull their users, who in the right mind would take the risk to run a big/reputable mint when they could easily get charged with money laundering and unlicensed money transmission operations?

The rules for a healthy diet are very simple:

1) Only eat if you are really hungry.

2) If you are really hungry while the sun is still up, be a raw vegan.

3) If you are really hungry when the sun is down, be a strict carnivore.

Now go live your life!

Do you have experience quitting caffeine? How long did it take to get back to baseline?

I've been without caffeine for 2 weeks. Mood and motivation are not back yet.

Wanted to sleep better and have a regular heartbeat. Feeling more calm now, but I'm not sure if this is worth it 😄 I've developed a deep association between coffee and coding over the years.

quitting coffee ain't worth it :) just don't drink any after midday. just talking from personal experience and not with any medical capacity..

Good luck in court with that one. "Nostr services only distribute the child sexual assault material, technically the original copy is stored on another service".

It's not really hard to understand. Anything you see on a social media platform is a liability for that platform. If as a platform they shrug and say "not my problem, we don't moderate content" then they're gonna get crucified in court.

I am not a lawyer and I don't run a public relay. I also block anything I don't like client side. So, I don't personally have to bother with any of that. Feel free to comment on the liability of any service provider in regards to the facilitation and/or the distribution of illegal material if you are an expert. This would be useful for any public relay operators that read your messages.

Apparently all you support is pedos. Bear in mind your arguments so far have been that you don't think censoring illegal content is a good thing and then that you think pedos should just be allowed access to child sexual assault material. To me it sounds like you're just trying to protect your own sick interests at this point.

And to be clear, people don't have to subscribe to free speech absolutism to be free. We choose to live in societies and we agree to abide by common rules. In the same way you can't bash someone head in with a brick without repercussions, there are some things you can't spread without repercussions.

The problem is that you free speech absolutist types take a broad concept of being able to say something out loud then you try to apply that to publishing and data transmission, things it was never designed to apply to, and you apply it to any company rather than just the government which is what free speech laws apply to.

I'll make it clear. Free speech does not include the right to distribute child sexual assault material. If you think it does then you are a pedo and should hand yourself and your computer into the authorities.

You do understand that the hosting of images or videos is not possible with nostr, right?

Replying to

So you have no issue with pedophiles being able to share content on the network and tip each other for it? For me that's not the type of thing I'd be willing to support and is the main reason I won't be on this platform in the long-term.

Just make sure to report the pedophiles on your way out. I haven't witnessed anything like that on my part of nostr so far. I would not tolarate anything like that and I would act accordingly if I would ever witness anything of that nature.

Replying to

You are supporting it. It's already on the public relays people are using.

Nostr instructs that the content is not removed though, because removing content is apparently "censorship". As soon as you start saying it's fine to remove content, the purpose of the protocol ceases to matter and you may as well use http.

And so as a result the relays are used by the existing apps are not moderated and so you literally share a platform with illegal content. This is not theoretical, illegal content exists on the platform and short of only using moderated relays that remove content, nothing can be done to stop it.

It should also be noted that from a legal standpoint it's not just the relays at risk, if the front ends and apps support access to the it then they also have a legal duty to remove illegal content for any jurisdiction they operate in. I doubt "it's a protocol" will carry much weight in court when developers are defending their apps allowing access to child sexual assault images.

Relay operators can choose to censor. Deleting/blocking notes is not something the protocol doesn't allow. If the relays do not want to moderate, its on them. Any court would agree that hosting pedo content is illegal and they won't be able to hide behind the "it's a protocol" thing.

I am not willing to support any of that, and I will not use or support any relays that host such content. However, at the end of the day, Nostr is just a protocol, like email. Just because bad people send malicious emails does not mean that using email is bad or should be avoided. Any illegal content or malicious activities should be reported to your relays and the authorities, just as you would normally do if you were the recipient of such content on any other platform. To my understanding, nostr relays run on clearnet. So it would be dump for them to host or tolarate anything illegal in the first place... Just my 2 sats. Cheers!

It seems the #1 issue with people joining nostr resolves around censorship, but not in the way you'd think. A handful of Redditors said they wouldn't join nostr because nostr has or could have hate speech, pedos, etc. and you couldn't ban or moderate those users.

I get it. 99.999% of humanity doesn't approve of that content and doesn't want to be near that type of content.

I don't know if I have a good enough answer for them though. I told them that with free speech, that means all speech is allowed, which includes the good speech and the bad speech.

If assholes want to have their corner of nostr and hang out with other assholes, then so be it. The other 99.999% of humanity will hang out everywhere else with positivity and good vibes, zapping each other non-stop.

My answer would be to avoid following individuals who promote hate or engage in inappropriate behavior. Ultimately, there is no algorithm in Nostr that can force unwanted content upon you.
