The purpose of syncing and verifying the chain is to (without trust) read the global state, ie the utxo set. If you don't care about showing the balance of your new wallet, then you can delay syncing, sure.

It doesn't even make sense to talk about if the global nostr is state is immutable or not, because the global state does not exist.
I get that is the point you're trying to make: there is no consensus.
I think the confusion comes from saying "it's not immutable" sounds like you are implying "it is mutable". But that statement is also not true, because "it" does not exist.

While certain outcomes are more special than others, every specific outcome is rare. Therefore don't restrain yourself simply because an outcome is unlikely, but rather maximize what you do in your life and you will see many amazing events.

Yes I know what ecash is. Clearly you can send a token without internet but there's no way to guarantee the sender has burned their copy, therefore the receiver would typically swap with the mint to prevent double spending, which requires internet.
I suppose you could alternatively have the sender convert lock the token with p2pk, but again that requires internet.

I thought receiver needs internet to swap the tokens with the mint to be safe from double spending? Or am I wrong about how Cashu works?

I get that, as a system, less outbox relays (ie avoiding full replication to every relay) is important for scaling nostr.
But why should I, as a greedy individual that wants max censorship resistance for my own posts, not send my notes to hundreds of relays (assuming I have the bandwidth)? Clients can slowly send them out in the background without affecting my UX.
Are we building a system that relies on altruistic behaviour to scale?

Ah I misunderstood. Pasting nsec itself is bad, of course 👍

2024-07-06 18:12:54 UTC

I don't see how it's any different from a password manager. You don't give your nsec to every service, you just use it to authenticate your identity. Yes if you get your master key compromised you are pwned but that's literally the same as having your password manager vault compromised.

2024-07-06 02:55:00 UTC

The lowest levels of the stack are too ossified to have your ideas adopted, while the highest levels are already idea saturated. The most interesting place to innovate is a thin slice in the middle, where small changes can have radical effects. Right now I believe the sweet spot is identity and data storage of small payloads

You can hardcode a large list and only 1 need be honest & operational for your client to find more honest peers.
If 99 of 100 hardcoded peers are down, you're still good. And on the next client update you change the hardcoded list to another working set of 100

2024-06-26 15:25:42 UTC

Finding seed nodes is a much bigger problem than nostr, even bitcoin has hardcoded domains for finding the first peer.
In practice I don't think this is actually a big issue

For apple, the enclave requires a faceID proof before it'll sign. But, afaik no btc wallets use them because the curve the enclave supports is secp256r1 (whereas bitcoin is k1).

Right I see the use to compensate for the lack of a built-in secure enclave (like most PCs), so it can't be high jacked from working memory by other malicious software 👍

What's even the point of a hardware device if there's no trusted display? Does it offer any security over a software wallet on a device that has a secure enclave like a phone?
If the software side is compromised it'll just show you the address you intend to send to and request the device to sign the malicious transaction

Good news is that sequencers are more involved with rollup protocol design than miners are. Therefore the financial incentive for sequencers to capture all MEV and leave none to the miners should sway rollup designs towards those that protect the L1 from centralizing MEViL
