I understand what you are saying, but you might want to consider: 1) The pedo terrorist isn't stupid, so they won't use Nostr and let you normies see what their private activities are; and 2) The general public has no clue that the pedo terrorists are spying on them, hence why they are 'fine' with it.

Anyway, here is the deal with Pharaoh. He is a billionaire who likes to avoid paying people. Penny‑pinching type of billionaire (seriously, in 2025?). Meanwhile, personally, I don’t like not being paid for my work. So there’s a little bit of friction there, unfortunately.
At this moment in time, it seems to me that we are at an impasse, and Pharaoh has been ignoring all my texts and calls since early November, seemingly trying to run away from fulfilling any obligation to me.
This is an absolutely stupid move on his part, given that I hold all of his data. I gave him an ultimatum: I can only wait until January 15 if he wants me to sign some kind of NDA, otherwise I will refuse to give a single shit about the security of his data anymore.
So I guess we wait until January 15, 2026.
Happy holidays!

2025-10-25 22:38:10 UTC

Given my insider perspective, I am in a unique position to verify some of the misleading claims circulating around and it has been nothing but eye opening for me personally. Much of my trust in the media has understandably been eroded. For instance, describing Pharaoh's wallet as a "miner wallet" is entirely inaccurate. Pharaoh is not a miner. He bought his coins using Paypal, lol.

Bloomberg journalist interviewed me about stablecoin usage in Southeast Asia. She was very thankful and said it is quite difficult to find someone to be interviewed for some reason.
I think the reason why is quite obvious. This is a privacy oriented space.

2025-09-16 20:39:17 UTC

I genuinely think the singular, unchangeable "private key" model is a serious problem for Nostr’s future.
It is one thing to ask bitcoiners to use private key, they basically just need to hold it, and switching accounts or keys has no major downside. But #Nostr is a social space where you often need to carry your login across devices and across apps, and being a social space, your social history matters a lot and has to be carried along with you.
Unlike Bitcoin, you can’t just rotate your private key and start fresh. Doing so means abandoning your followers and your entire identity tied to the old account.
So all it takes is one random hack, or one mistake from you, and all the social capital and work you've built under that one Nostr "private key" is gone? What a terrible model.

2025-09-16 20:26:22 UTC

- reply

Yes, I meant recreating the profile, but you're right, not everything has a timestamp, and the ones that do will likely get completely messed up during the migration.
I mean, then this problem is worse than I thought. If a hacker gets hold of your private key (not hard, given how rampant malware is and how often Nostr apps ask us to copy-paste private keys everywhere for login), everything you've built is gone. No recovery, and there is nothing you can do to gain control back.

Yes starting a new key seems to be the only choice we have in the event that our private keys are leaked/hacked. I'm sure someone will make this migration process easier, presumably they will create this tool after they get hacked themselves 😂

- reply

We live in the age of all kinds of malware that can sniff and copy your private keys from clipboard without triggering anti-virus and anti-malware detection, like that failed NPM hack few days ago. It seems inevitable that private keys will get hacked / leaked. For now, using browser extension seems like a good thing, until it's compromised somehow.

2025-09-14 04:09:22 UTC

- reply

Of course there is migrating accounts if your private key gets leaked. You can't have 2 people controlling one account.
Also, the fatal flaw that I'm talking about isn't about how the private key is unchangeable. It is a second order problem that is stemming off this migrating account inevitability.

Oh shit, just thinking about this, I think I just discovered a fatal flaw of #nostr system. God damn, no wonder I'm an analyst for a bitcoin billionaire. I just spent 3 minutes on a hypothetical problem and I already managed to kill the whole system from the root.

2025-09-14 03:40:01 UTC

Let's say my account got compromised somehow and the hacker managed to get hold of my private key. At this point I would assume I need to migrate my account elsewhere to a new key, because unlike centralized application I cannot simply "change my password" in #nostr. The private key system is set in stone and unchangeable.
My question is there an app to help me migrate everything I have from one key to another key? #asknostr

Out of all the #Nostr Twitter clients I’ve tried so far (Damus, Primal, Jumble, Ditto), Jumble has been hands down the best in terms of ease of use, simplicity, and connectivity.
I love their strong focus on relay control and transparency. You can see which relays each post comes from, and explore them, thus increasing discoverability of posts.
In Primal, for example, most of your feed will just come from people you follow, so this can quickly create a bubble.
Tell me, is there any client better than Jumble that I haven't tried yet? #asknostr

2025-09-12 23:31:14 UTC

Looking at the Bitcoin chart today and I'm like... ehhh, I'm not sure we can hit 150K without breaking historical precedent, to be honest with you. We've got roughly one month left. When Pharaoh dumped everything and spooked every single analyst in the world, it turned into a massive resistance line. What a terrible place to sell, so typical of him, always failing upwards. If you could believe it, I actually told him directly that if he sold his holding, he could possibly single-handedly kickstart a bear market, I guess he did not believe me or did not give a shit, and so here we are. Personally, I think we could've hit 170K easy if he hadn't spooked the market, but now, I don't think we can even reach 150k.
