**UNPOPULAR OPINION**
IF we were to hyperbitcoinize and Bitcoin became the only form of serious money, it would be EASIER for governments to exert control and manipulate the system back under the veneer of a decentralized currency.
Consider that on the path toward hyperbitcoinization more and more BTC will be held in the hands of cucked elites that if push came to shove would yield to State demands and hard fork the protocol in practically whatever way the State wants. Failure to comply would result in significant loss of value with customer holdings, which would be counter to the fiduciary responsibility of hedge funds. Being such significant holders of BTC, hedge funds would sell off the non-OFAC compliant fork thereby tanking the price of the REAL Bitcoin; only the hardest of Bitcoiners would be able to stomach such a downturn. It is here where other [bleech] cryptos work to distract the old money elite from ever being able to pile exclusively into BTC. The fiat mentality is to "diversify" meaning XRP, ETH, SOL and whatever other shitcoin that promises quirky new features could be a viable investment...they simply dont know any better.
And so it is: the shitcoins protect Bitcoin from a State-sanctioned attack since with the hedge funds capital divided, less of it would be solely in Bitcoin. This limits the degree to which hedge funds could drive down the price in such a way to convert people that should know better but simply cant hold onto a coin in freefall.

What do people here think of reappropriating the Twitter Egg and rebranding it a Nostrich Egg? The egg was/is a powerful meme, Twitter's first and one that still burns in the hearts of many. People identified with The Egg as a symbol of freedom to express oneself as one wanted to be heard.
Others may have treated it as a badge of being a newcomer to the space; a sign that said, "Hey, I'm new here, and I haven't quite figured out the ropes yet."
We all come from Eggs; I'm sure many would relish the opportunity to return to one.

When you say "is it really a big deal that the domain name the relay is using disppears" I wonder why you wouldnt want a name that you can permanently identify with, that no one for any reason could use to impersonate you?

This is incredible!!!
We still need unconfiscatable cryptographically unique human-readable names and Namecoin is the best solution for this specific purpose as I see it.
Again, running a client is super lightweight and it gives us Proof of Work to impose a cost (however small it may be) to spinning up a new ID.

The best solution I can see for practically everything you mention is Namecoin/BitDNS for Nostr names (xxxxx.bit). The protocol is under-utilitized but this is a blessing since it reduces the load clients and relays need to run. If clients packaged a light node with their offering and relays ran full nodes (~6.8Gb), Nostr would simultaneously get a global consensus mechanism for:
i) Human readable/uncensorable names
ii) Proof-of-Work attached to those names (reducing the potential for spambots to operate without cost)
iii) Ability to register names anonymously
iv) Deep integrations with Tor for both domains and TLS
v) A key management system so users can have different keys sign different notes (and avoid burning your nsec)
and
vi) A far better way to discover and build a social graph than Web of Trust can ever provide on its own
Yes, there's a shitcoin attached to it but the relays could handle everything to do with that so that users wouldnt be encumbered by another token (ie. paying for name operations in sats to relays). So think of it like a shitcoin without shitcoinery.
Namecoin is a serious project with significant miner support (~400ExaHash/s). It has kept current with its development despite a severe lack of interest/funding.
Maybe its time Bitcoin embrace its younger brother?

2024-09-07 18:42:39 UTC

Does someone out there know if Primal supports the ability to use a separate signing program for actually writing notes? (I know it supports payment like zaps)
I want Primal to be able to communicate with BitDNS to be able to add cryptographically unique, censorship-resistant human readable names to Nostr but to gain real traction with such a standard our largest client would need to be able to support this functionality

The problem is it's unlikely Primal will ever be able to transition away from their caching servers as they are central to how Primal is built
Nymble's architecture will be able deliver better performance in the short term leveraging BitDNS (ie. Namecoin) as the discovery mechanism for the relays. Initially the settings point to servers hosted by Nymble [Nymble relays will be smart] but at any moment people will be able to redirect traffic to their own servers with zero loss to UX
The Nymble offering will be unique in another MORE important way: people will be able to keep a complete and permanent record of all their notes. Their entire history of contributions to the Nostr ecosystem (whatever the user wants to show) will be on full display at a decentralized webpage found at [yourNAME].bit
** .bit has been around almost as long as Bitcoin and is secured by Bitcoin hash via mergemining. Refer to BitDNS or Namecoin for more information.
From here we're a stone's throw away from being able to access whatever information we need without tradeoffs to security or UX AND have the ability to better lure influencers from all disciplines/tastes with the promise of being able to monetize their following directly according to what the market is willing to pay.
The future looks pretty amazing guys...

Nostr addresses aren't the final solution for the problem of human readable names since ICANN ultimately controls nostrplebs.com or whatever regular domain name.
BitDNS (ie. Namecoin) names are a perfect fit for Nostr. They're lightweight, ridiculously censorship-resistant, easily managed and can be maintained with Bitcoin Lightning payments.
We have integrated BitDNS for our Nostr client, Nymble, and the app will be available in the next couple of days. If you follow, I'll send you an update to try once it's released.

A little pushback here: If you mean Bitcoin does not need the people of America, its land, system of law, etc. then yes point taken.
But Bitcoin was founded on the principles of what America used to stand for. These principles ARE America if America is to have any chance of enduring since much of the rest of the stuff we associate with America will wither and die...

yeah you need special Bitcoin software to read which ordinal corresponds to an inscription which seems like the wrong way to build something that is truly uncensorable. The fact that the inscription information is appended to the witness, making it pruneable, doesnt help engender a feeling of permanence either.

Agreed. We're modifying NIP-05 (domain names as human readable identities) to include Namecoin decentralized names without publishing a NIP. Just go out and do it and if others see it working, they'll reach out for details to integrate something similar.

2023-12-08 19:58:31 UTC

Is it just me or couldnt we all use a unique name that doesn't rely on NIP-05?
Using regular domain names is a good first step but not the best we can do. Decentralized domain names can act as our repositories for everything we do here on Nostr, plus our human readable wallet and general identity
Fuck .eth or whatever unstoppable domains is peddling; I've got my eyes squarely on Namecoin: merge-mined with Bitcoin (~60% hash), inexpensive (LN integrated), lean, and built and maintained specifically for this purpose.
Yes there is a coin attached to it BUT there's a secure way to get the names without having to deal with holding anything but BTC using relays
Having a global consensus mechanism like Namecoin bolted onto a Nostr client could be useful for other applications as well...
happy to hear your thoughts.

Namecoin is an incredibly respectable project that was discussed by Satoshi to be a valid reason for having a separate blockchain.
Namecoin is lean, had a fair distribution, is open sourced, has ~60% of Bitcoin's hashrate, and was built for decentralized DNS and ID.
We've integrated a light Namecoin client to our Nostr client Nymble so that users can have an uncensorable name/wallet/domain address where their entire history of notes can reside. Right now, you need to have $NMC to register/configure/renew names but in future versions, we will have it such that users wont have to fiddle around with $NMC at all and they'll be able to pay for everything with BTC through LN in a trustless setup.
We're really excited to be releasing the product in the coming days.

Do you mean this line:
"The power of a .eth name but on a blockchain that's even more secure than Ethereum." ?
A .bit can do everything that a .eth address can do and Namecoin is 100% more secure than Ethereum.
