Any time someone FUDs bitcoin the correct answer is always "compared to what?" Bitcoin is the worst form of money, except for all the other ones.

One of the cool things about Nostr ("Notes and other stuff transmitted by relays", a new decentralized protocol that replaces things like Twitter and Instagram)—beyond censorship resistance—is that you aren't limited to 280 characters. Find me there.

Just finished recording the ! Hopefully gsovereignty cuts out the part where I gave an amateur theology lesson on the creator/creature distinction...

Just dropped a big update to coracle.social, included are massive performance improvements (HT fiatjaf for his new version of nostr-tools), smarter relay selection, and support for DMs and public chat.

With Twitter's shitcoin token incoming, it's great to be developing on #nostr. I'm working on coracle.social in all the free time I can scrounge together, and looking for someone to fund me so I can spend more time on it. Any takers out there?

Social media marketing trends to prostitution. It incentivizes taking what is human about you — body, personality, family — and exploiting it to sell a product.

People who say "AI is good for generating ideas" demonstrate their own lack of ideas, the emptiness of their interior lives, and their absolute dependence on consumption for meaning.

Facebook uses a heart symbol when talking about Covid-19. What sort of misinformation are they trying to push anyway?

What if the roles of the executive and congress were reversed? The king can propose whatever he wants, but the people have veto power.

PSA: use Coracle with caution, the porn spammers have arrived. Silver lining: moderation will finally get implemented now.

Coracle is back, and better than ever! Thank you all for your patience.

Coracle is temporarily suspended while I re-write the data sync layer. It was too buggy, both for users and relay operators. It should be back up later today. Sorry and thank you! twitter.com/InvestRepeat/s…

Is Coracle down today? Showing me 'This service has been suspended by its owner.'

This enables relays to serve relevant content at a small scale, essentially by sharding the network. I'm working on this, find my whitepaper here: github.com/blazepoint/doc Unfortunately, I don't have the time or funding to build it myself, so I hope Nostr can learn from it.

Every solution to this other than an opinionated gossip protocol will result in relays being either too large to run cheaply, or too small to provide scale. This can be solved by defining relays by user relevance (like Mastodon does), but in a multi-master architecture.

I really want Nostr to work, but the community needs to stop deluding itself with takes like this. Nostr has the same problem as SSB — content is transitively gossiped, leading to database bloat.

#3 reason: relays run SQL databases (think: fast & cheap!) That means that social media platforms built on top of #nostr will be as fast and cheap to maintain as centralized platforms are today.

No one. How much money would it take for you to sell out your wife or closest friend? No one has perfect integrity. "Give me neither poverty nor riches... Lest I be full and deny You." The love money is the root of all kinds of evil. That is why bitcoin matters for Christians.

SBF can’t be trusted. Vitalik can’t be trusted. CZ can’t be trusted. No one can be trusted. That’s why we bitcoin. #bitcoin
