First, Euclidean geometry is a mathematical model that applies perfectly to flat surfaces, and it’s useful for small-scale calculations. However, when we deal with large scales—like the Earth—we need to use non-Euclidean geometry (specifically spherical geometry) because the Earth is a three-dimensional object.
The concept of curvature you’re referring to doesn’t contradict Euclidean geometry; instead, it shows the limits of Euclidean geometry when applied to large, spherical objects like planets. Think of how map projections distort continents because a flat map can’t perfectly represent a spherical surface.
In fact, the Earth's curvature has been measured countless times through experiments like:
The Eratosthenes experiment (250 BC), which measured the Earth's circumference using the angle of shadows at two distant locations.
Satellites orbiting the Earth, which require precise knowledge of the Earth’s curvature to function properly.
Airplane flight paths, which use great circle routes, demonstrating how spherical geometry explains the shortest distance between two points on Earth, not Euclidean flat distances.
To claim the Earth is flat by using Euclidean geometry would be like insisting that because a triangle has 180 degrees in Euclidean geometry, it must also have 180 degrees on a spherical surface—which isn’t true. In spherical geometry, triangles can have more than 180 degrees, and that’s been empirically verified.
So, the issue isn’t reconciling curvature with Euclidean geometry—it’s that Euclidean geometry isn’t the right tool for the job on a planetary scale. Using it to argue the Earth is flat is like using a ruler to measure the volume of a sphere—it’s the wrong tool for the task.

The ECB is attempting to paint Bitcoin as some zero-sum redistribution scheme—conveniently ignoring how fiat systems systematically drain purchasing power from everyday people through inflation. Bitcoin doesn't redistribute wealth by coercion, like fiat does through central bank policy; it empowers individuals to opt-out of that flawed system. Eastern Germany didn’t fail because the Berlin Wall wasn’t sturdy enough. It collapsed because the system it was built to protect was fundamentally broken.
Fiat currency is Eastern Germany. The Berlin Wall represents the endless legislative attempts to suppress Bitcoin’s rise. Western Germany is Bitcoin—inevitable and free.
Bitcoin doesn’t steal wealth—it restores it to individuals. The ECB’s fears reveal a truth they won’t admit: Bitcoin exposes how fragile their control is. You can build walls, print more money, and regulate, but you can’t stop an idea whose time has come. The central banks are fighting to maintain their crumbling system, but just like the Berlin Wall, those barriers will fall. #Bitcoin #Freedom

The idea is sound. Anytime you copy and paste your nsec into an app or website you are potentially exposing it. By using a signing extension like alby, or a signing app like Amber, you centralize that concern. You share your nsec with one app and leverage it to login to all apps/sites. Now you only have to trust/verify a single app/extension rather than all of them

2024-09-30 02:03:28

If I exposed citrine as an onion service using orbot, then set the onion address as my inbox relay... would people potentially be able to send me DMs directly to a relay on my phone?

ETH Classic isn't to ETH, what BCH/BSV are to BTC...
In the ETH case both are shit, so it all comes down to marketing. There I agree with you.
With BTC one is actually designed specifically for a purpose (digital commodity money) and the other is shit. One is winning because of its functional properties, not because of marketing.

Vanity PoW npubs seems like one potential way to bootstrap WoT. However, you would likely need a way that people could "purchase" npubs if they don't have access to equipment capable of hashing an npub that passes most users filters.
But how could you do that without trusting the hasher?
Could there be some kind of 2-of-2 Multisig type scheme where I could generate my own (non vanity) npub/nsec, pass along the npub to the hasher, then they hash a second npub/nsec that's only usable if you also have the first nsec?
