These past couple of months have been crazy. Run my 1st half marathon, got married, bought a house, moved out of the city. There are short periods of your life that are worth a lifetime.

This pump is fake and gay and everyone who is taking it seriously as a "bull market pump" is retarded.
There's no real change in adoption that justifies it. On-chain activity is a ghost town.
Price is pumping for the exact same reason DOGECOIN is pumping: bitcoin is still mainly traded as a speculative memecoin, despite whatever maxis try to paint it on their podcasts.
Rant over. Until we meet again.

The code is public and is a legit samourai fork (that I verified).

I still created a new fresh wallet and will try with small amounts.

Hello friends. I haven't posted in a while. I realized I was spending too much time on my phone. It was unhealthy for me and a terrible example for my children.
I deeply regret all the time wasted on meaningless online debates with internet trolls. It wasn't worth it.

I get your point but this only matters for "influencer" type of social networks where niche power users need to be catered to.
I would argue that nostr is not that, it's more akin to early facebook with a more sparse graph. Or maybe that's only because it's still small ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Depends on you.
If you're the kind of person who likes tp understand everyrhing with detail from first principles, python is a bad choice. It does a lot under the hood which kind of prevents you gtom understanding how computers actually work.
If you don't want to get too deep and just want to build something simple or a prototype, python is a great choice.

Day 2 after muting the words that should not be named:
It's been very pleasant. I've seen art, tech, culture and discussions about day-to-day stuff.
Some stuff that should be muted still gets through because it's text in jpeg memes, but it's fine.
My feed is much much thinner, which is a good thing. Less time wasted on social media is much healthier.
Lastly, muting all that stuff causes me to get less angry and enter meaningless pointless discussions.
I'll keep the filters for now!

Nah, the expectation is that only things that get rendered as text should be muted. If a mentioned vanity pubkey contained a muted string by some odd chance, should the note also be muted?

2024-08-19 12:58:19

Ok it turns out muting "nostr" absolutely breaks it in non-expected ways. Notes containing nostr.build url images get muted and any note quoting also causes a mute since it includes the "nostr:" uri string.

Always start a new feature branch by always branching off origin/master using `git switch -c feature/branch origin/master` (previous git fetch required obviously).
Then after pushing it remotely, reviewal and approval, you can merge it directly to origin/master or, if your repo policy is avoiding merges, you can push the feature branch directly to origin/master using `git push feature/branch: master`
You don't ever really need to have a 'local master'

Yeah, key derivation is hard. Wallets that went through a lot of whirlpool mixes are very deep in their address derivations which causes most electrum server implementations to be very slow in those cases.
That's why Fulcrum was recomended, or even Samourai built another backend (the dojo) which was just a wrapper sql DB for fast lookups from an xpub.

Thereby disrupting "perfect competition", which as I said, is unstable. No disagreement here

2024-08-17 13:41:52

- reply

Yes but who initially wrote it down. A lot of stuff seems obvious in hindsight but it took a bright might to notice it and formalize it.

2024-08-17 13:39:14

I remember reading somewhere that perfect competition under a free market was not really stable nor desirable.
This is because it causes profit margins to tend to 0 which has 2 negative effects:
* makes companies more fragile to externalities
* does not allow companies to accumulate treasuries that enable them to do research, innovate, take risks, etc
The end result is a stale stagnated balkanized economy. The corollary is that some market imbalances and assymetries are healthy.
Anyone knows where this reasoning comes from? Did I dream it up?

Your last paragraph is a counter argument to your point. Relying and regulations, laws, force and violence to make you the sole owner of the sequence of words that you willingly made public is... retarded and authoritarian.
If you don't want companies to use your code, don't make it public.
This regulatory clout just adds friction to development and innovation as I pointed out. If MIT licensed devs are underpaid, that is a distinct issue that GPL fails to solve.
