i dont remember if they said anything about taxes, but manipulation or trying to manipulate is a normal part of life. there will always be scammers or also just marketing ppl trying to advertise and convince others... some because they really believe it and some because they want to make money... and some because both 🙂
the overall world though - from what i remember felt quite utopian and the "native" seemed to not be able to cope with modern values 🤷‍♀️
...even though, a world based on bitcoin wpuld be even better

oh, maybe because they produce ppl and harm them to end up as worse than they could be.
if they took that relatively unrealistic part away - because why would you harm the production quality if you can sort them afterwards ...whata the bad parts?

Yes, it works and it is inded faster than using regular async/await and promises. The only downside is that syntax is more verbose sadly

2025-05-08 20:48:20

Wow 🤯
Using Atomics.waitAsync in Javascript is so blazingly fast, while async/await and promises is as slow as it gets. Now i wonder if it is possible to replace all promises and and async/await everywhere with Atomics.waitAsync to speed things up dramatically.

browser vendors already dont agree.
there are still plenty of differences between them. they grew out of a time when standard bodies were how specs are done.
today things are different, but even BIPs and NIPs and the likes are still not making source the spec.
LLMs arent on the level yet to reliably generate human readable docs or specs from source, leave alone diff implementations to figure out the differences.
...but i'd say its where things are heading and i think thats a good thing 🙂

2025-05-06 19:41:24

it happens.
its a fork.
and maybe they stay closely aligned or they dont 🙂
same question could be for specs or docs written in natural language.
example
W3C vs WHATWG

2025-05-06 17:28:25

The real documentation is the written code.
It is always up to date.
The code is more than that. The code is the specification of the program based on the compiler of the language it is written in.
Different compilers might create different interpretations of the spec.
LLMs will be able to quickly answer questions based on the code.
Traditional documentation is a lot of work to keep up to date and often they are not adequate for either beginners or experts and sometimes they lack specificity or might even contain inaccuracies.
Code as docs and spec is the future the better LLMs get.

what if the government is a totalitarian regime supressing and abusing the people - even blowing up entire planets to keep folks in line?

2025-05-04 14:56:04

- reply

this is not correct.
the transaction fee does not pay for the forever stored for free.
You can alreqdy store up to 80 bytes to e.g. store a hash whatever.
Opening this up to no limit just meqns a lot more non monetary transaction data that has to be stored for free by everybody.
The social contract of bitcoin is everyone stores monetary transactiins of everyone for free in order to get a decentralized monetary system. That data is fairly minimal and everyone benefits by knowing who can spend what.
This is different from everyone storing jpegs. i dont need to support freeloaders who want to store their arbitrary data for free forever, which everyone offers for monetary transactions to enable bitcoin.
Dont fall for freeloaders convincing you that they paid with their little fee for storing their data forever on chain.

2025-05-02 11:11:36

There is no use case for putting arbitrary data on the bitcoin blockchain.
All you need is the ability to put a hash or signature or similar tiny amounts of data into it to proof something that does not need to be onchain.
Everyone benefits from this, because it keeps bitcoin smaller and thats good for decentralization, which what bitcoin is all about.

i'd agree with all you've said, but maybe citadel isn't the right word to describe it?
an image search gives you the impressiin of a world full of isolated bunkers, but thats not how you can compete with smart cities.
we need the focus on interconnectedness of those "citadels" and imagery or metaphors which inspire people for that, because otherwise the smart cities will suck up one citqdel after another - divide and conquer.
I dont know a good answer, but some infrastructure is well networked/connected and at the same time physically isolated or standalone. For example a scientific research station.
Sadly not decentralized, there are franchises too (e.g. 7-Eleven, McDonalds,...) or Remote Work Offices. Also Warehouses.
I wouldnt recommend any of the above over citqdel, but citadel might not be the best either...
Nexus? ...importanr point in a web of connections
Beacon? ...a signal reqching out across space
Sentinel? ....watchtower, but part of a network
To me, nexus seems best 😁

needs no paper.
ppl usually click bookmarks or copy/paste urls or type and autocomplete from the browser addressbar, so if you had petnames and a contact book where they had public petnames as well, you could show autocomplete from that and have some sort of crypto address for any resource, e.g. a hash or pubkey ...and display your petname or you friend > petname instead.

no.
there are ppl and there are kids.
if you are hetero and like the normal family, go for it. if others like something else, fine too.
isnt it live and let live?
everyone as they please as long as they dont limit the freedom of others?
i dont see why this is an issue.
i love discussing state and taxes and how that is not a consent based concept and violates ppls freedom and if or what can be done to improve it.
...but ppl lifesyle or sexual preferences seem to be in a different category and i cant believe somebody is a libertarian or is against violence and pro consent if they want to lecture others about their lifestyle.
making it part of the discussion might also alienate everyone who might be on your side when it comes to discussing state or government architectures and pros and cons, because you seem to add this relatively random unrelated topic into the mix where ppl might not agree with your lifestyle choices.
that sais, i personally am living in a traditional family, but i am entirely happy with everyone around me doing it the same way or a different way - i dont really care and am happy for them to be happy

Hmm, last time i checked my calendar, it was 2025.
I have some gay friends who adopted kids an raise them.
I also have hetero friends who decided to not get kids.
Me personally, I went through IVF with my partner to get kids.
Somebody I know paid a surrogate mother to get kids.
Afaik they already grew animals in the lab in artificial wombs and maybe that will be possible in the future as well.
Generally speaking, there are ways to get and raise kids no matter what your sexual orientation is and in the end - those people might work once they are grown up and contribute like everyone else - it's not like humanity is dying out and it seems a bit of a stretch or rather absurd what you say.
In fact i know a lot of hetero couples who do not want kids and quite a lot of gay couples who actually have kids. Also a lesbian couple who got a sperm donor and now they raise kids. ...so yeah, i think your kind of opinion seems more tailord to interfer with other peoples life's that do not affect your own.
I do get the point that taxes are paid by everyone, but the majority decided what to spend it on.
The gay argument you made is the opposite of libertarian or anarchist and it's not even true - so maybe you should reconsider?

2025-02-22 16:54:24

if anything correlates, then its ppl having no time for reproduction or caring for offspring, because they are too stressed out working to survive because of monetary debasement... thats as far as i can follow.
but then again, in a modern society many ways are possible and humanity wont die out. let those who want multiply and those who dont ... whatever.
but lets fix the money to give ppl options to choose. give ppl self sovereignity as a prerequisite to build stable societies on top of that... consent and not coercion.

so first doesnt nake much sense.
all i can imagine is that due to incentivized short term thinking, ppl are less receptive to long term more complex memes...
its a stretch though. state vs market is somewhat self evident. that fiat money incentivises short term thinking maybe too, but that this would strongly correlate to anything else you said is a stretch and i think the opposite can be argued as well tbh.
second:
not everyone defaults to collective action. its maybe just a media narrative.
i see merit in your argument in regard to democracy. ... it makes sense and i agree this can be observed.
you could even discuss that this causes nazism or communism in its end game..
...now that this would make memetically transmissible diseases more likely is again not well argued.
pedophilia/homosexuality/veganism/ ..etc. is just ridiculous.
christianity is a memetical transmissible disease as well you can argue and if nothing else, a lot of priests did start abusing kids as well.
agree with no worldwars anymore. ideally no wars.
overall, its too much of a mixed bag what you say and i dont agree and it doesnt make any sense. some topics could be ellaborated further, and maybe discussed, but i have my doubt this discussion can be fruitful. you have your mind made up about most things

2025-02-21 22:08:48

what kind of ridiculous conversation did i just read.
While I find the argument state === violence by design and market is voluntary by design ...is legitimate and how markets can or cannot work with or without state - e.g. what is the consensus mechanism to manage e.g. a "land registry" (who owns what land) ... would be interesting, because there is a lot to explore.
But mixing that conversation with personal lifestyle, preferences, or whatever ...such as whether somebody being "gay" is somehow related to that is very weird and imho completely pseudo-scientific and irrelevant.
In a free world, it's everyones choice to live whatever lifestyle they want to live. Everyone in this context is master of their own destiny. Do what you will, so long as it harms none. Live and let live. To each their own.

i think many people would agree that a centralized almighty state to control who owns what in terms of property is not a perfect solution and can sometimes go badly wrong and other times it works.
i would love to learn how alternative mechanisms would work.
The case shared in the article of your post seems very broken, but everyone has clarity who owns stuff at any point in time (regardless of fairness) and if the mechanism would be replaced, it would be good if it would not cause ambiguity.
If Bitcoin was an alternative to banks to take away unfairness inherent in that system, but would not have a clear mechanism to solve double spends, it would be worse than sticking with banks.
So how would a "private property registry or mechanism" to come to consensus about who owns what look like - or at least what direction do you imagine? 🙂
just very curious, because i havent heard or read about potential solutions for that yet and am interested 😊

I agree with onboarding needs to be simpler, but UX/UI is still quite bad and there are plenty of ideas how to improve it.
The one thing where i disagree is to skip learning about nostr keypairs and key management. Whether bitcoin or nostr or peer to peer. The future is keypairs and everyone who is not ready for it already has a social network they can use - be it facebook or mastodon.
At some point in evolution, people have to make the switch to keypairs and learn the basics - they also managed to learn domain names and email addresses back in the days.
This is imho absolutely critical to change the way to think about the internet and having users back in control over their digital lifes

I see. One repository (pallas) seems quite monolithic.
I think https://github.com/holepunchto seems a lot more approachable.
Also, it features (haskell, assembly, c++, c, ..and some other artifacts) including the usage of nix. Quite a wild combo and not very mainstream.
If you want mainstream adoption and a lot of devs adopting it, i'd say sticking to C/javascript maybe rust or if necessarry even typescript seems a lot more approachable.
Also, the website says it combines aspects of IPFS and BitTorrent (thats a mouth full) ..is that all monolithically added to "pallas"? can one run and verify this without haskell? are you targeting haskell folks?
I mean - you do you - you would know who your target audience is :-)

And a long nerdy description end users wont understand.
Sounds like a recipe for failure.
While the ideas are great, the point is to put something out there that works instead of a waitlist with description.
Also, the second challenge is to use every day language to express the concepts instead of nerdy math and logic, which is easy, but makes it unlikely to succeed outside of a niche.

pzp is conceptually in ma y ways ver similar to the pears runtime.
they allow sparse replication. The stack is not as mature and developed, but the concepts are great.
SSB had big issues, because it did not allow sparse replication in its original form and modifications where difficult to introduce later on.
in essence, SSB was linking back to previous entries via hash, while e.g pear runtime uses append only logs with merkle mountain ranger to sync data sparsly.

What will haplen when the Bitcoin price eventually grows forever and gets so high? that 1 Sat is more than 1 USD, but you still want to be abpe to buy things that cost less than 1 USD.
Especially because bitcoin in the long run is designed to make prices go lower and lower.
What is the answer to that?
Is that when the network gets a one time upgrade to split bitcoins into more than 8 digits?

i do think the web is compelling, because there are so many developers out there and also designers who are familiar with CSS, html and javascript and also once deployed, works on any device without complicated installation.
Packaging a cross platform app otherwise is a major hassle.
I hope a simplified subset with all the useful and essential features can be carved out of the web and turned into a new platform
Imho pears.com is trying to do exactly that and one could probably polyfill pears in browsers to some degree 🙂

Splendid podcast episode.
This is what i'm trying to communicate people for the last 10 -15 years now.
Since slavery, colonialism, imperialism in general or just since the dawn of good old capitalism. This has been how it works.
This fundamental issue can be cured by e.g. Bitcoin and hence changing the nature of Capitalism so fundamentally, that we'd be better off inventing a new name for it.
It has one flaw or mistake, which says its governments who print the monies, but its just the most popular printing entity. In reality at least as powerful and entirely overlooked is the power of the private banking system to print mpmey. In fact, thats what they do every time they issue loans, so yes. ...lets take away all of these by adopting a bitcoin standard to end capitalism as we know it 🙂

now at least the bare/pear runtime and the entire p2p stack is open source, so ppl can and already build their own p2p apps.
this is not useful for end users though.
i still do believe keet will become open source, but if not, i imagine solebody will make a keet compatible client that will be open source. we'll see 🙂

delta chat is built on top of email, which means it doesnt scale, does not support video or audio chat and is in general very feature limited.
your identity is an email, which means federation and not peer to peer.
delta chat thinks about adding p2p capabilities using "iroh", but iroh is way behind the dat/hyper stwck used by the pare/bare runtime which keet uses and its DHT is just bitcoin mainline from which keets underlying p2p stack upgraded years ago after using it to add holepunching capabilities and better sybil protection...
...so eh, keet is already more secure and more capable than delta chat now and that will only improve in the future.
hyperdrive is used to store all files in keet, which means the stack and the runtime, which is THE REAL innovation here, can be used to build other compatible apps.
peerviewer and https://holesail.io and more than 20 other apps in https://dat-ecosystem.org already make use of that and so shoyld delta chat if they werent misguided imho 🤷‍♀️
after all, iroh is cofounded by former ipfs developers which means filecoin/ethereum shitcoin ecosystem and is funded by a for profit new york based company so it could enshittify fast. its also not the developers who own that company? they are merly employed.
holepunch wqs created and is run by the main developer and the dat ecosystem is a 501c3 public good company with the mandate to keep it open source.
main implementation of the stack is C + jS but alternative implementation in rust exists as well

the hyper stack a.k.a dat yes

the keet UI/IX itself? no.
they said once it reaches beta they will, so we'll see.
i am mostly interested in the stack.
all keet files in keet rooms get shared in hyperdrives, thus a different app could sync and access and display those differently. thats why the runtime approach was taken 🙂

hmm... yeah, lookup would be slowish...
but sending would not be impqcted once you have the data and based on how often it changes you cpuld cash initial lookups.
also, you could speed it up by having each node store not just the next but multiple hops.. a small graph with the publishing node in the center, so you would need probably less lookups by always progressing multiple hops instead of just one hop.
they say the idea is also to give ppl the information so they can experiment with many routing algos i think.

2024-12-04 18:30:46

- reply

hmm...
i assumed an ipv6 address is not long enough to hold a pubkey and because they derive it from a pubkey? i assume they just represent the pubkey in hex and take the first X chars... or maybe the first X xhars of the hash of the pubkey and literally use it as their ipv6 address?
so i imagine the address does not really encode the pubkey but is derived from it.
anyway? i am kinda guessing based on what i know and filling the missing pieces with best guesses based on what i imagine would make sense

cjdns uses ipv6, doesnt it?

2024-12-04 13:26:41

- reply

why not?
whatever is the underlying address...
if i use my pubkey or hash of my pubkey as 'key' and the 'value' i publish to the DHT is my address and the pubkeys of ppl i am connected to, then anyone could query the dht to lookup that information and then repeat the process with the pubkeys i am connected to to see who they are connected to and so on ...until i find a path from me to my target and then i can route my packet.
this is my understanding. i might be wrong - as i am not a cjdns expert, but the mechanism as such makes sense. in principle it would work.

I am not intimately familiar with cjdns and what gets stored in the DHT.
Afaik its not about anonymity but about performance.
Data is sent end to end encrypted.
Packets are routed based on their source to experiment with routing algos. Routing data comes from distributed hash table.
At the core it's:
1. Switch
2. Router
3. CryptoAuth
I assume some more relevant details can be found here:
https://github.com/cjdelisle/cjdns/blob/master/doc/Whitepaper.md#how
I assume it stored the pubkeys needed to communicate securly with a specific node and the IP address of that node derived from pubkey.
I assume, every node would publish their pubkey, IP address and pubkeys of nodes they are directly connected to.
This way, i could query the destination and slowly look up a neighbors pubkey they are connected to that is closest to my address and then lookup that and recurse until i actually find a connection to me and then send packets through that route.
This is something that could be relatively easily replicated on the hyperdht/hyperswarm dht as well :-)

2024-12-02 17:23:38

if you are looking for a really advanced flexible kademlia based DHT, that enables peer discovery and assists with holepunching for direct noise encrypted connections, you could also consider taking a look at hyperdht/hyperswarm

2024-12-02 17:21:16

- reply

i dont know all details, but imho reticulum is designed for rural and offgrid low bandwith environments and afaik isnt very efficient fornhigh speed real time communication.
CJDNS uses a kademlia based DHT for routing.
Yggdrasil uses a spanning tree based approach.
The founder of SSB (if you've heard of it), implemented "epidemic broadcast tree" (plum tree?) ...so its a self healing spanning tree with some redundancy afaik.
i guess cjdns approach is a bit more robust/resilient than yggdrasil, but yggdrasil might be a bit more efficient if the network is really stable.

a large DHT without eclipse attack protection can be worse than a smaller DHT with eclipse atrqck protection.
Wthout an attacker can occupy a specific area of the DHT with relatively few sock puppet nodes. With the protection the cant attack specific areas and need to just spam the entire DHT nodes to eventually attack the DHT keys they are interested in.
Also, if every DHT node supported holepunching and assisted new nodes with holepunching as well, things become a lot more useful.
The sybill attack mitigation and the assisted distributed holepunching is both supported by hyperdht which the pear and bare runtime use.
Would be cool to bundle it with a nostr node.
If all nostr nodes supported it, it would improve the resistance against the sybil attacks by an order of magnitude more than with other DHTs like bittorrent mainline

hyperdht is smaller and additional benefits
1. used by keet and pear runtime
2. protects against eclipse attack
3. has best in industry holepunching built in
pear runtime as dat started out with bittorrent mainline dht too, but moved on because of issues related to holepunching and eclipse attacks that cant be fixed in bittorrent mainline, because it wpuld be a breaking change and bittorrent mainline is too widely distributed.
the scale of mainline is much less helpful when it cokes to eclipse attacks and smaller size is sometimes as secure because of the additional sybil eclipse attack protection.
anyway - would recommend to talk to the pear runtime team at holepunch.
hyperdht is the most advanced and modern dht i am aware of and would definitely recommend 🙂

i am not talking about the leftists that claim tonrepresent the left. The media or politicians.
I mean the people who listen to them. The people who you meet in every day life if you stop and look. Whether its a nurse doing over hours or a volunteer to pick up trash in the city park or people organizing a flee market in the backyard of the local library or the the ones volunteering to build homeless shelters or host refugees at their homes and other little every day life gestures.
many have little to know financial/business/economic literacy and just trust the narrative of people who talk about the right values.
I met a freelance cook who is also a musician and organises yoga sessions and mostly in community places where he might not get paid, but he can eat for free.
plenty of people socially engaged they all vote and are usually very afraid of trump who is supposedly hitler 🙃
and the ones i met werent rich at all - quite the opposite.
fact is. bitcion mass adoption ends all classes. we are apl the same under bitcion. thats a bitcoin fact. no money printer for nobody 🙂

argue it however you want.
the more ppl adopt btc, the better.
left leaning folks have a different understanding.
its not about free market money.
capitalism is that with the privileged money printer class and always has been throughout history. we never had independent money for real. ending all money printers means everyone is in the same class. sure. some richer than others, but same rules apply l. class war ends.
capitalism is mostly the rich getting rich by the printer access.
VCs... banks... also govrrnemnts.
did elon earn his billions? nope.
openAI?
nope. none of them is break evenhow did they get money access. by convincing capitalists to print money for them.
leftists should join bitcoin. 🙂
division between "left" and "right" is just divide and conquer by the fiat money rulers. the actual capitalists since the dawn of capitalism 🙂
most leftists are poor. the rich are not leftists. they are fakers, corrupt, just like on all sides. rich money printer folks - a.k.a the trur capitalists in any real world derived definition instead of some textbook never happened in reality yet definition

bitcoin is class war.
bitcoin ends the money printer class eho prints themselves into cantillionaires.
there needs to be a campaign to hammer this point across.
the capitalists brand bitcoin as capitalist stuff so leftists wont touch it.
this needs to end

i think the benevolent dictator for life is not the problem
big software and bloated stacks are.
the bigger the software project, the more powerful the dictator.
if things are kept small and modular and permissionlessly extensible, we can jave many benevolent dictators instead, each with limited power and each replaceable by fork because a fork is managable unlike when things are monolithic and big.

honestly. yes. money fixes the incentives a d that fixes the degenerate behavior... which is corruption, because you can get ahead by capturing the money printer and defending it rather than serving the people.
...but imho, why, how or what that has to do with "pervertedness" in general or "pedophilia" pretty much is beyond me.
the money we have mainly incentivizes fake news and corruption and all kinds of shitty behavior to get ahead for the competition of controlling the printer at the cost of everyone else.

AGPL sounds good to me.
I personally have published all my code under MIT, but i am considering a switch to AGPL.
I guess the argument against AGPL is and always was, that if you need law enforcement for your code, something is broken.
MIT and nobody using it and turning it closed sourxe, because it would not make sense would be the biggest win. I wish all code i write code proprietary closed sourxe businesses are not interested in.
If I did AGPL - would i have the resources to use law enforcement to enforce things? ...very likely not, so fuck it - i need something better than licenses

Might want to consider looking deeper into the pear runtime and keet. It decouples data from any specific server/relay/cloud storage location.

DNS or domains are a hierarchical system and there are multiple levels on which censorship can occur. it can always escalate to the next level. it is routinely used and enabled by the way DNS works.

it doesnt even need icann itself.
try to reach certain domains in certain countries.
try to reach the pirate bay.
try to reach the internet archive in the UK
try to reach sci hub
a lot of open source security related tooling is also censored
and then of course people get deplatformed in some countries ... thats a very common practice.
oh and torrent trackers where victim too.
...theblist goes on. I am actually surprised by your question

yeah. we might be different.
where we wanna go, nobody needs to buy any names. The problem you want to solve is a problem that doesnt exist.
It is a problem made up by people who want to offer a solution that makes them money.
A lot of web3 is just that, even though bitcoin is enough.
You dont understand what i am saying if you think somebody has to "buy a name". 🤷‍♀️

I think betting on dat or hyper-stack and the pear runtime is a save bet.
keet is state of the art and proves what is possible, which other stacks lack.
The stack behind the pear runtime has also been worked towards since 2013 and survived a lot of tough times.
Other projects are at the mercy of funders and if those leave ornchange their minds, people move on and things die quickly.
That is different from the pear runtime which despite lack of funding for long periods of time, survived and is striving, because people give it a lot of love and effort and this is rare to find imho.
It outlived many projects over the past 10+ years, projects with more hype and more funding. ...it might outlive nostr as well 🙂
And also because Keet can do a lot of things nostr cand and was never designed to do.

you can already see that with nostr.
the many relays and more is better. they are technically supppsed to be interchangeable anyway.... that is the goal in p2p. that is what bittorrent brought to the mainstream.
No need to trust a specific server or cloud to whatever levels it is centralized/federated.
no hierarchy needed.
The issue is to believe or promote top level global names in the first place.
public keys are all we need and that needs no icann

ICANN is worse.
it is not decentralized.
Domains regularly get taken down or censored.
Also the certificates browsers and tools ship with that are needed to make it all work are ridiculous given that it could work wothput any of that.
Of course, shitco8ners want to scam and control, so they always argue in favor and then squeeze themselves in as intermediaries.
There is really no need to use domains or global names at all.
This is just not what people rely on in practice and normal people nyway dont understand what they are trusting in.

i am not sure what is being measured here or what "340" nodes means.
Keet alone has plenty of more users and each of them is automatically participating in the DHT.
And thats only keet.
Dat ecosystem counds at least 25 more listed projects, all with their own user base, so that alone makes it way kore than 340.
So hard to say how or what you measured 🙂
