PoW is still open to the flaws of capitalism while also hurting the environment. If you have the money you can easily buy the supplies needed to be a major whale. China used to have terrible regulations that allowed this.

Exact same for me. What I find that helps is to start doing one very specific task before even thinking about the next one.
I read something very interesting about this, where a coach told his client to do 5 push ups a day to lose weight, and because this was such a simple goal he did it, and eventually he started to personally raise his goal to 10, 20, etc. Despite the goal being so small the client pushed himself past that because it showed him he can do so much more.
I think when you look at it as this huge goal you must hit, it becomes a lot stressful, but as you start to break that goal down the fears start to fade.

(Wall of text, sorry)
When a user hears about Mastodon they likely won't do too much research about a server that fits them best, and simply choose the default one. The majority of users will now be on this server making it privvy to the same amount of censorship as twitter.
While the default server is significantly more private than Twitter, if this server was somehow shutdown or blacked out-- almost all users would vanish. It would take a while for users to comeback and join another server, and creating a presence will be difficult.
Now if a user joins a smaller server, the user is still privvy to that server shutting down. Small servers are typically operated by one person, and as operating costs rise it will likely be harder to maintain, and it could too shut down effectivly losing all it's users.
If a server gets shut down on Nostr a user would still be connected to 10+ servers, and as would everyone else. So it's very easy to stay connected and maintain your presence without relying on one entity.

The issue with Briar is that they don't have accesible clients on all platforms. Session has its problems but in terms of combatting censorship for everyone it's probably the best right now.

This very argument is how open source projects die. No one uses them. Your very premise is why Twitter users don't switch to Nostr or anything private. According to you we should only use things that is popular.

Monero is a popular currency, just not as popular as Bitcoin. All innovation takes time for others to use it. The same argument you're making now is why others didn't buy BTC in 2011.

2023-02-07 01:17:46 UTC

Sorry, but having all of your transactions open for everyone to see is not private. If you want corporations spying on all your transactions to favor the economy be my guest. Tracking everything and everyone is not a robust solution if you want to maintain your rights.

You can report all transactions using Monero too lol. The transactions just won't be public to everyone. Stop using the argument of legality when criminals also use Bitcoin for drugs, etc. "don't use Bitcoin cuz criminals use it"

Tons of vendors already accept Monero you only focus on Bitcoin. And again using popularity as an argument makes adoption pointless. Why use Nostr when you have Twitter the most popular platform. We should all be using Twitter according to you.

Popularity does not equal a finished solution. C'mon lol. Ask if someone know nostr or Twitter. Guarantee you they'll say Twitter, it doesn't mean nostr is a bad solution.

Sorry but using the argument that privacy=illegal doesn't work. I've seen people say the same thing about Bitcoin so it's funny that you apply it to Monero. Just because something is more popular doesn't mean it's "better."

2023-02-07 00:42:49 UTC

- reply

Sure, that's more of an issue of popularity and adoption. Because Bitcoin is the biggest name it doesn't mean that it's the best. ATMs are starting to expand to eth and others if you give it a few years and focus on the better tech the better crypto will end up being used.

2023-02-07 00:34:45 UTC

Have you considered Monero? That's truly the only platform that has private transactions that cannot be tracked. All transactions are public on the Bitcoin Blockchain. Bitcoin is not a complete solution and it isn't crazy to say that it will be replaced.
