Just saying hi from the nostrverse 🤙🏻
Do you have a nostr npub / profile (we dont have accounts we follow here) I can follow?
You can just plant and grow food…

About two years ago I discovered that conspiracy about gifted and talented... And realized a lot of the things I grew up thinking were normal turned out to be not normal. But hey, it explains a lot of the difficulties I've had so I like this perspective well enough 🤣

I still get scared, because before the net appears I always feel like I'm just plummeting 🤣
But God is good and all things work out in God's plan 🙌
I’ve been fascinated with the idea that everything in our universe seems to sync up, and continues ticking along at the same time “framerate” through spacetime.
Anything that ticks along at a different rate would be marooned to the past or in the distant future, never to interact with us.
The curve traced by a point on a circle rotating over a flat surface is called a cycloid. Imagine painting a bright green dot on a bicycle wheel. Starting with the dot on the very bottom, move the bicycle forward until the green dot goes all the way up and back down to where you started. The curve traced by the bright green dot is a cycloid. If you painted another green dot on a spoke, it would also go around but never touch the bottom or top part, the curve it traces is called a curtate trochoid. Electromagnetic waves (like light) move in a cycloid-like trajectory, while matter moves as curtate trochoids (like dots on the wheel spokes).
Reality ticks along in discrete steps, and the size of these steps are unimaginably small because they are inversely proportional to the size our universe (the energy contained in it). It appears smooth for us massive observers. Because the “wheel” of reality isn’t perfectly smooth but instead is made of many little “teeth”, the surface on which it rides on also has teeth, just opposite in form. If it helps imagine trying to roll a square over a flat surface and watch the path traced by the corners. Add more sides to the square and you can see how it starts approaching a circle but never quite being one. The path traced by the corners of this polygon looks like very small bumps (think street bumps).
We are not in a circle however, but in a 4D hypher sphere, but keeping it as a circle helps our brains visualize what’s happening.
I tried to pay this but it timed out.
This is the way! 🔥

ya ur right, The problem is not our Internet. I checked online and it says it goes threw ubisucks severs.

I actually noticed that with nak --- it isn't showing proof-carrying events returned from my inkan relay. When I get a chance I'll fix up my own version of nak to work with these.
When working through this, I noticed that there are two issues that can be thought of separately:
1. disseminating OTS proofs to relays;
2. making the proofs available to clients.
For proof dissemination, any sensible Nostr event shape will work. I think an addressable event with lots of tags for indexing (which can be skipped when not needed) works best, I've been sticking with my 31045s so far.
For making the proofs available to clients, the crucial thing is that the client needs to get the proofs synchronously with the reference event, i.e. the proofs should basically be spliced into the reference event.
So on that picture, the basic role that relays should play is to collect up available proofs and pre-verify them, select the best one (i.e. the one with the lowest block height) for each reference event, and then splice it into the reference event when it's sent to the client.
Is my current thinking.
plausible deniability server/relay + client:
- when you post to the server, you specify a symmetric encryption key, using that key to encrypt the content. but you don't tell the server the key
- any client displaying the content should take a key as an argument (url param would make for easy sharing), and attempt to decrypt the cyphertext clientside using said key
- if you provide the correct key, you can view the cleartext in the client. the server never knows what data it's storing - but for users, sharing the clear version is trivial: just share a url that includes the key.
- extra protection: the server/relay doesn't accept any cleartext content, so there's no moderation burden.
@nprofile…kype does this get around the server owner's responsibilities re: content and liability?
Сетевые государства уже здесь, и они растут день ото дня. Вопрос не в том, появятся ли они, а в том, гражданином какого ты хочешь быть? В мире, где каждый может выбирать свою онлайн-реальность, выбор за тобой. Но помни, каждый выбор имеет последствия. Какое будущее ты хочешь построить для себя?
В мире, где границы определяются не территорией, а консенсусом, что такое страна в эпоху криптовалют и блокчейна?
Balaji's Network State isn't just happening, it's accelerating. Nostr, with its open protocols and pub/sub model, is a catalyst. Each user, node, and channel isn't just a participant, but a building block. As more join, the network's resilience and value grow exponentially. Lightning's layer-2 enables trust-minimized, near-instant transactions, fueling this growth.
It needs an advanced search options menu with time brackets, keywords, and user-specific filters. I want to be able to find my first note.
I "read" The Great Taking (Guy Swan did). Was good, and you make a good point.
I was a bit confused, for a moment, as it was a regional holiday last Thursday.
Happy Corpus Christi!
In my view, PoW dynamically gets more difficult for a spammer as they spam. It becomes an incredibly difficult barrier to overcome.
Or you can imagine the worst possible barrier to justify your argument.
It's June, it's after noon, I'm sitting on the porch enjoying a nice spring day. This never happens. There's a cool breeze blowing and it's finally not raining. Almost makes up for my lack of croissants.

Let me guess. It's only for those who want the payouts? Don't take the money. Always be anon, anon.
I’ve been posting with POW all day… has not hurt my experience in any meaningful way. You’ve seen my posts.
Why are you saying this will hurt real users, exactly? Real users aren’t spamming the relays, in your scenario you would punish them with higher PoW for *what reason*? That would be the only logical conclusion: you decided to treat spammers and normal users the same so their experience would suffer.
There's a branch and the leaves need to be blown off.
Everyone knows you only take out a bitcoin loan once every four years at the bottomest of bottoms. Time to go all in at 50K! This is not financial advice.
Five total, but two did not survive. So three pups it is!
She pulled that trashbag into the whelping box and won't let me take it out. It's her first time as a mother and she's a little frantic figuring out what to do. So far so good, though. https://cdn.nostrcheck.me/8a671ef89f20da82dff5b501618d72a58a401f4a79469e3c15f96fbe1e8c0bc1.jpeg https://cdn.nostrcheck.me/461a5bb3693397ccbb18fdaadb9d376b81f993606a4cd09d0817807b46cc98fc.jpeg

I think I got you here: earlier you said that the problem with dynamic PoW was identifying reliably and when I give you obvious ways to do it you are now saying that if you had this you wouldn’t need PoW.
So did you lie earlier or what?
Like, kinda, yeah? Good marketing anyway. "Don't sell the bottom, borrow and reap the gains!"
OTOH, now is probably a good time for one 🙃
I dunno, there's argument for taking loans out now more than at higher prices, if you think we're near a bottom and don't wanna sell.
I'm definitely too scared of that stuff to even dabble, but if you believe they are safe and operate as advertised, you'd expect that, no? Just weird you never hear about loans except at ATHs. Top signal stuff I guess. Maybe it's just companies responding to the higher demand when there's more euphoria, but if I were in charge of marketing I'd push for loans now 🤷♂️
whaaaaat the fuck is this?! this is so scary looking

Fun prediction:
Strategy has been hammering STRC this week, causing the price to de-peg to $93, and using the proceeds to buy a lot of BTC

Saylor will only have power over me if I choose/allow myself to be at the bottom of a control hierarchy that he bought himself to the top of by a series of voluntary transactions where the recipient determined they'd rather have Saylor's coins than whatever else they could have in exchange instead.
do you not see how that is fundamentally different than the alternatives?
also, your premise is flimsy: the "problem of concentration of wealth" is not a problem to be solved - and definitely not by the base layers of a monetary technology. it's a natural result of many people valuing what someone else is providing. "solving" that "problem" in any way beyond emergent collective voluntary choices is a slippery slope to (artificially and likely coercively) removing the incentives that encourage an individual to innovate and create value in the first place. ..which is how you make sure civilization never emerges.
They don’t care either way. A person with certain incentives will bypass whatever small obstacles you put in front of them.
I really don’t see how it makes any sense to potentially (assume you have scale) make all the users of your protocol do additional computation to pretend like it’s doing anything at all to thwart an attacker who has every means of bypassing whatever silly barrier you put in front of them.
