Bitcoin doesnt need a soft fork
Happens alot. Did you know that daniele and fiatjaf snuck spyware into njump dot me (the link in the title), too?
Check it yourself.
When it comes to "open" source, dont trust, verify.
A relay is essentially a type of web server that uses the HTTP upgrade protocol. The rules for running a relay are no different from running any standard web server—there's no added layer of decentralization just because it's a relay. In fact, the current state of the relay network is one of neglect, with it becoming more centralized as it shrinks. It's important to note that illegal content remains illegal on any web server, including relays, and you're still liable for hosting it.
Where Nostr might offer an advantage over the traditional web is in making truthful content harder to censor. If an admin on one server is grumpy, it's easier to switch to another and continue participating without being 'canceled.' But at its core, a relay is still just a web server—albeit one with real-time updates.
njump does indeed suck and contains spyware put in by daniel and fiatjaf -- not very cyperpunk
you might want to use https://nostr.at to protect users
More the case that France and Britain teamed up behind Hitler. Czech could have beaten Germany, but was not able to fight all three. You may enjoy reading Carroll Quigley on this topic. What we are taught in school veers from the truth. Hence Churchill calling it the "unnecessary" war. He was very careful with words. It actually could not have happened without the intervention of the Conservative government, which is what infuriated Churchill so much. But after 190 years, that government will come to and today.
Article doesnt explain well why we need a fork. Any fork has a chance of destroying bitcoin through a chain split. So the argument has to be really good. So far it's niche R&D and use cases that have not demonstrated a large appetite. And the risks are not fully explained. The surface of what we can do with the current tooling has barely been scratched, and that's an indication that there is not a pressing need, right now. It would however be a great social attack on bitcoin if it is able to split the community. Obviously something bitcoiners dont want, and bitcoin's rivals do want!
Churchill called WW2 "The Unnecessary War". This one was likely unnecessary too. However, Russia viewed the conflict as inevitable (partly after speaking to FM Truss) and, that being the case, felt it advantageous to strike first, rather than, strike last. There had been a build up of troops on both sides, and a large escalation in shelling. That said, in any situation the public can only really know at most 80%. There's always a 20% of motivation that is hidden. Possible energy deposits in the black sea and so on ...
run a relay in 1 line of code:
docker pull scsibug/nostr-rs-relay
docker run -p 4445:8080 scsibug/nostr-rs-relay
Some more notes here, please do add to it if you find a good system
Smart. You get the best of both worlds. Ownership and portability of nostr. Scalability and extensibility of nip-05.
What is needed is a standardized, extensible way of putting data in profiles and nip-05
I have been thinking for quite a while that we would benefit from a master key and subkeys. Only your master key goes in nip-05, but subkeys could be added. This would perhaps be only for next-gen apps because first gen would not know about it, but could transition if it's useful.
No, it doesnt. It's a somewhat ill thought out flex. He's trying to speak for nostr devs as a whole, which of course, he cant do. It's good to take things fiatjaf says with a pinch of salt.
Conflict of interest there because he is promoting his own solution, drivechains. However the community has rejected that already, and he struggles to acknowledge anything else.
A poor man's logseq from protocol labs (filecoin)
I plan to integrate logseq with nostr, lightning and rgb
He said that would work if bitcoin dies first. And if bitcoin does it doesnt matter how you change it.
IMHO he's challenging people to solve the problem so bitcoin doesnt die. Which I think is good.
We can add stratumv2, reorg alerts, and several deterrents to miners in case they get bribed to attack the chain.
It's just adversarial thinking. Think about the idea, not the person.
