Interestingly enough I proposed this plot for my Terrorism class in college. We were tasked with thinking like a terrorist and planning an attack in the US. We could use any philosophy we wanted but more interesting to me was the logistics.
I proposed an attack on the American interstate system. Using gorilla warfare to attack drivers then flee the area and regroup for continued future attacks. My argument was it was a soft target that is easily reproducible by the same cell.
It's also extremely disruptive. Schools close. Businesses shutdown. On the right roads you can even slow interstate commerce. If you're not caught in the act the fear left in the local community is immense even as you flee 100s of miles away to recreate the attack. Plus everyone has to use roads so it's relatable to every citizen.
My professor was unimpressed.

I agree they shouldn't need to and applaud trying to get users to use things the right way. I'm just not confident in end users getting the message that less is more at scale. What about an in-app alert system based on over usage to help educate and reduce in app?

Yeah but most relays will only store them for so long so if a bot is just going around rebroadcasting the original events it could reseed the network after the delete event gets purged. Speaking of purge where does purge rank on GRAIN's todo?

Unrelated to bostr here are some other relays or nostr based content tools that I'm using in my self hosted stack or plan to run soon that you might find useful for RB.
@npub1utx…50e8 fren-relay - https://github.com/bitvora/fren-relay
Very simple config setup and then automatically whitelists any of your follower's for usage as a good home relay. I've only been running it for a few days and its ran well.
@npub1zmc…7f60's GRAIN 🌾 - https://github.com/0ceanSlim/grain
I'm excited to see this project develop more. Based on the current to-do list this could offer everything I currently need in a relay.
@npub138s…x624's Nostrcheck server - https://github.com/quentintaranpino/nostrcheck-server
I currently use this to self host my own pictures and videos for my posts via NIP-96 or can also do Blossum. The project also supports tools for NIP-05 and Lightning redirects though that's a little redundant with LNBits.
@npub10td…x2wl's relay29 - https://github.com/0xchat-app/relay29
This will be a little niche but if you want to run your own NIP-29 Group relay to make sure all of your group information is self hosted this is what I use for @npub1gvm…gk9f.
H.O.R.N.E.T Storage Nostr Relay - https://github.com/HORNET-Storage/hornet-storage
I've watched @npub1t89…a5h9's presentation multiple times now and its on my watch list for having everything I need and more in a relay. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QAf0s-d9W0g

Hmm it's odd that you don't see it. I changed it the other day from patrick@minibits.org to patrick@sats.love but I've been getting zaps since the move so not sure why it's not reporting. I guess there might be a relay that hasn't seen that change yet. I'll rebroadcast my notes today to see if I can propagate that better. Thanks for the heads up that it's not showing!

That's what I use. He's also rewritten it in Go as bostr2 that you may like. Last I checked bostr2 doesn't support nip-42 yet so depending on your needs it might be best to use bostr still. https://codeberg.org/Yonle/bostr2

I thought Pay Links was the lnurlp extension? I'm not sure I know where to go if that's not the right spot. It generates an LNURL for me but just doesn't generate the lnurl-pay link so this makes sense I'm missing a part here.

That will make it so any received zaps get published by the node to your nostr relays. I had it enabled too but it shouldn't have anything to do with this problem though I admittedly don't have a clue why it's not working.

I can create an address inside the Paylinks extension but it never creates a .well-known to go with it. I have patrick@lnbits.sats.love setup right now but https://lnbits.sats.love/.well-known/lnurlp/patrick doesn't show the user.

While on the base I agree with you that it doesn't grow nostr. It does however create a social void for that user that will then likely be filled by nostr exclusively instead of Twitter which will grow the platform. Additionally if that user had any reach to other users outside of nostr their exclusivity to the protocol will grow the reach nostr has.

Principles are getting more listeners for Bitcoin content. That being said this is about use of time. I don't think posting on Twitter is doing much because I don't have a blue check and I'm not setting one up. I'd much prefer to donate $10 to bitcoin podcast then set up a blue check.

How does that disqualify it from being staking though? This is a normal function of staking

2024-08-22 16:45:11

- reply

I think this is a semantics arguement but I'm not sure. Stake based chains can usually revoke the staking process as well. When a party would close the channel the software would just update the relay software to stop offering the incentive. Call it staking or liquidity incentives or whatever else but seems like the same result to me.

2024-08-22 16:40:26

- reply

I'd argue opening a lightning channel is staking it to the other node. You're locking funds into a time lock contract between you and that other party. This is just adding an incentive layer to that staking process.

2024-08-22 15:13:38

It'd be interesting to see a new project make a value to staking Bitcoin. Instead of whatever *staking* process today's mempool filler is what if the staking is just opening a channel to a lightning node. For so many X sats it whitelists your npub on a nostr relay. If you stake higher amounts then it adds additional features like bostr or NIP-96 space.

When I was still doing ATMs I was able to not register for a MTL in Kentucky because I dug myself a loophole in the law. I reached out to the KY DFI and told them I was only going to allow people to buy Bitcoin instead of use a 2way machine. This way I wasn't facilitating any transfers of money but simply acting as a vendor for buying sats. This ended up saving me almost half a million in costs/bonds that would have been required otherwise. Regulatory stuff is so stupid.
