I understand. I shall try Jumble. I have found amethyst to be quiet temperamental. Thank you for the suggestions ☺️

Oh I am not comparing the protocol with a platform at all. But the protocol does give rise to a distributed platform. And a big chunk of the people on this platform (nostriches) within my bubble are constantly treating Nostr as something sacred (same thing happens for Bitcoin). But lets agree to disagree on this. Btw, I have no horse in this race, i used Facebook for a few months in 2007 and Twitter for a year or so around 2011.

With respect, and I say this now only because the topic has come up, I have a Ph.D. in cryptography with focus on multiparty computation, Saif is completely unknown in this line of research, much less required reading. Not trying to act snobbish, saying what is true. ☺️ Similarly, unless Bitcoin Majlis folks get some academics behind their "journal", it is going to be another evangelist magazine. Non-reseaechers cannot start an academic journal (exceptions aside). Besides, why do they need to start an "academic" journal considering we already have established, very high quality, venues for such research. What purpose would it seve except "me too"!

Yes, I agree re:Nostr. Other SM tools? they have their merits, lets agree to disagree. 😁
