Last Notes
Reasonable points, though I think Bitcoin is never going to a million. It’s going to be replaced pretty soon. I think you should get out and buy XMR.
It seems to me like you have to make a distinguishment between AI slop, where somebody just creates something and puts it out there and is never going to maintain it, versus somebody creating something and putting it out there, and then taking feedback for what needs fixing, and what could be better done this other way, and etc. etc., and maintaining it over long periods of time to mold it into a good shape.
it’s a caricature of the average American soylennial. It hits hard because most people I know from back home know a half dozen of these.
hey @npub1az9…m8y8 what's the status on hiring a forensic team to examine your machine? Because if offline 2FA is enabled, and you see no new login records, the post came from one of your own authorized devices. Is this another scam on the goyim, just like when you planned and executed the retirement attack that stole all their Bitcoin prior? Is this a strategy to try to claim your machine was hacked in civil proceedings, to complicate future litigation?

The podcasters have been trying to rehab NVK for the past week and he goes and tells everyone that he got their crypto jacked *again*! 2FA there and no record of new logins means it is your own device hacked, retard, X support can’t help with that. How many “Fell For It Again” awards do we give out to maxis and their tireless grifting podcasters?

not bad at all. now the monostr relay can be set to require 8 bit pow to relay

## The "Mitochondrial Eve" Argument
The creationist argument goes like this:
1. **Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA)** is inherited only from mothers
2. Scientists have identified a **"Mitochondrial Eve"** — the most recent common female ancestor of all living humans
3. Creationists claim she lived only **6,000–10,000 years ago** (fitting a biblical timeline)
4. They argue this contradicts evolutionary claims that she lived 100,000–200,000 years ago
5. Therefore, they conclude, humans descended from a single recent female ancestor consistent with biblical Eve
## Is This Scientifically Correct?
**No.** The creationist argument rests on several fundamental misunderstandings and misrepresentations:
### 1. **Mitochondrial Eve ≠ The Only Woman Alive**
Mitochondrial Eve was **not** the only woman alive in her time. She was simply the most recent woman from whom **all modern humans inherited their mitochondrial DNA**. Other women lived alongside her, but their matrilineal lines eventually died out (daughter lines had no daughters, etc.). This is a statistical certainty in population genetics, not evidence of a single founding pair.
### 2. **The Dating Discrepancy**
Creationists arrive at ~6,000 years by:
- Using **directly measured mutation rates** from pedigree studies (mother-daughter comparisons)
- Claiming these rates are ~20× higher than evolutionary estimates
- Calculating backwards to when all mtDNA would converge
**The problem:** This ignores that **mutation rates measured in pedigrees are mostly somatic (body cell) mutations**, not germline (inherited) mutations. Creationists conflate these, leading to inflated mutation rates and artificially compressed timelines.
The scientific consensus, using proper germline mutation rates and calibration with fossil/archaeological evidence, places Mitochondrial Eve at roughly **100,000–200,000 years ago** in Africa.
### 3. **Y-Chromosomal Adam Lived at a Different Time**
There's also a "Y-Chromosomal Adam" — the most recent common patrilineal ancestor. He lived approximately **140,000–300,000 years ago** — **different from and much later than** Mitochondrial Eve. If humanity descended from a single biblical couple, these two should have lived at the same time. They didn't.
### 4. **Nuclear DNA Tells a Different Story**
While mtDNA points to one recent female ancestor, **nuclear DNA** shows humans have much older, diverse ancestry from many individuals. The nuclear genome contains contributions from thousands of ancestors stretching back millions of years, inconsistent with a severe population bottleneck to two people.
### 5. **The Core Confusion**
As one scientific paper put it, the "Mitochondrial Eve hypothesis emanates from a **confusion between gene genealogies and individual genealogies**." Mitochondrial Eve is a **gene ancestor**, not an **individual ancestor** of all humanity. You have many ancestors who aren't your mitochondrial ancestor.

#Monostr is the first #Nostr client I have used that has NIP-13 PoW. Pretty cool except for the fact you can turn it off.
"Android guy" 🤣
The kind of "android guy" that wants sideloading blocked and age verification mandatory. Yeah. Please fuck off and join the isheeps
Nice to see we think alike!
My thought process was make it mandatory and then in the future clients would be able to turn on a minimum proof of work required to show the note at all.
looks like @npub1p47…2qfl and I had the same idea of adding PoW to #Monostr. The difference between the way they did it and the way I was going to do it was I was going to make 8-bit an absolute mandatory floor and not allow it to be turned off.

But if I'm going to synchronize through Tor, why not just continue using Tor to make the transactions as well?
Should be available to all monostr users, not for paid relays only.
You really are running a challenge to make people not accept Monero as a payment method, don't you? 😂
Love seeing this pop up!

But the QR isn't static either, as each time you can generate a new one-time QR.
At that hashrate, I assume you're using the mini p2pool chain.
Okay, that I was not aware of, and that makes a lot more sense.
I just know that they accomplished the same job of providing anonymity online and I2P seemed to do a worse job at what I needed it for than Tor did.
You're not running a local mode on a phone. At least not easily. Therefore, that is not an option.
That requires Bitcoin, which I don't have and don't want.
Only if it's also priced directly in Monero.
I wish I could say the same, but every time I've tried I2P, I have come away incredibly disappointed. And this was after several times, over like a year time span of trying it.
My main use case is that I want to synchronize my Monero wallet with my Monero node, and on Tor, I get 5 MBPS. On I2P, I get 40 KBPS.
I could possibly shorten my I2P tunnels to one-hop tunnels, but then that completely kills the privacy of using I2P, which I don't want to do. Especially not when I can get 5 Mbps through Tor, where I've got the six hops between the client and the server.
If that were true, there would be no need for you to say it. Yet here you are.

To set up your own Tor hidden service, you do not have to set up a Tor relay at all. You set it up as a regular client like you would use to browse the Tor network but then in the Tor configuration file you specify that you have hidden services available to publish.
lol, somebody is such an adult child. there is a relay xalled XMR.ItHurtsWhenIP.ee
hmmmm. kinda considering setting up my own #Tor #Nostr relay just for the hell of it.
every relay i am aware of is on the cucknet where you have to rent your own domain and ICANN can just pull the rug on your relay.
i am running my client over Tor, but connecting to cucknet relays. may be time to close the loop.
Idk NuraEco. Have to look into it.
@npub1xts…kk5s good cost cutting for the Damus relay, this should make it fit comfy within an Oracle Cloud free tier machine
Not yet. I thought through this and made a PoC, but didn't fit good in a way I like it (clean and simple). But maybe in future. Take this with me. Thanks.
Great. Take them both. 🙏🏻
You should receive. You can try to restore the wallet in Cake Wallet for example with the legacy 25 words seed. Then you should see my tips on your comments.
Actually it should. Do you set up a new wallet (recommend) or use an existing one?
Great hint. Will take this in the roadmap.
Thanks for the hint. We will defenetly take a look at a11y soon...
LN shills when anyone talks about Monero: “LIGHTNING IS PRIVATE, IT’S UNTRACEABLE. MONERO IS A SHITCOIN, LIGHTNING IS ALL YOU NEED.”
LN shills when they lose their coins: “WE’VE TRACKED EVERY TRANSACTION THE THIEF MADE. WE KNOW EXACTLY THE WALLETS THEY’VE LANDED IN. THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE SMART FOR USING ALL THESE VARIOUS LIGHTNING PRODUCTS THAT WERE ADVERTISED AS UNTRACEABLE, WELL AKSHUALLY THEY ARE BASICALLY TRANSPARENT IF WE WANT THEM TO BE AND WE’RE PUTTING UP A GIANT REWARD FOR ANYONE WHO CAN IDENTIFY THE OWNER OF THESE DESTINATION WALLETS.”

The biggest danger for a Zcash users: mistaking optional privacy for actual privacy
pretty easy, since 95% of malware pushed through the signing process comes from about 10 ethnic mobs, they should make a priority line for people who are heritage Americans and Europeans. These are the groups that make nearly all useful software anyways, Microsoft should be maybe think about paying them to have them make software for Windows and not the other way around
