Assuming this is based on tracked addresses, a whale address would be an address connected to a certain a amount of bitcoin? The question is, how do we know these addresses do not belong to groups (exchange, etf etc)? This message implies there are lone buyers buying a lot, while it could also mean groups of people are buying. That would be a very different (more positive) dynamic to me.

Allright, I have no idea how and if this going to work, but am willing to try. I have a full time job and a family, but interested to see how I can contribute to this idea. I have some work done on my own relay (https://github.com/nostriphant/transpher). Am looking for a project to work on, but experiences in php. What could be a first step?

2024-11-25 15:39:59

- reply

I have been hacking on it today, but it seems to me thay the bech32 class in bitwasp does not play nice with tlv. I have no idea why, also the decode function does not allow for bechs longer than 90 chara,but in nostr-tools this limit is raised to 5000. I feel I need to fork and improve the bech32 encoding/decoding functions. What are your thoughts on this?

2024-11-23 06:24:24

Excellent, I am working on an implementation, but it is challenging me. I translated the tests to php, but I think I am now at the part where I need to convert the data to bits. Will continue monday, but hopefully sooner. How is your progression?

We could use https://github.com/nbd-wtf/nostr-tools/blob/master/nip19.test.ts as starting point. Converting the tests to php and then implementing the code.

Thanks, appreciate it! Although on the surface it looks interesting, I still have so many questions and I would NOT go out on a limb and make the same conclusions as you did.
First and foremost: how were the 136 democrats selected? How representative is this number for the entire population? When in what context where these individual asked about their party-affiliation? How does the “toxitity” of our environment influence our hormone levels? How evenly spread is this influence throughout the country?
Please, please, be more critical on what you find on the internet and especially this cesspool called xitter.

- what’s your source for the statement: “the average male leftist is hypogonadal”? Can not find that NPR research online
- what does “hormonally healthy” even mean? With the evidence you supply, one could argue that hypergonadism causes right wing voting.
- Assuming this is the same for women is just stupid
- Automatically linking this to our environmental toxicity is not even logical are reasonable without further sources
Sorry, your post is utter non-sense without proper argumentation. 👋👋👋

Yeah, you could only do with get or post, it just that these two cause the browser to act differently. The other methods are (more or less) degrees of freedom expression. I'd say the nips are not much different technically, may be semantically there is some difference dunno, but to go religic about it goes a bit far.

2024-11-08 15:43:13

- reply

Meh, GET|POST /path is bare minimum, possibly with an host header for virtual hosts. There rest is pretty much optional sugercoating. Your reasoning goes the same for all nips beside 01. No need for the rest in essence and it is the same for http. And then devs start adding features 🤣

I see that it mostly client stuff, but there is some back-end work required. At least providing nip46 php library would help devs connecting their apps to the nostr ecosystem. Perhaps integrating these is too specific and should be done by the app devs themselves...

Good to be on the same page there. I still think that any form of disregarding information is a form of censorship, but fine to only focus on state censorship. I think in the Netherlands this form of censorship is much less a problem. There are multiple parties in our government, not one with a majority on their own. And there are still enough non-governmental news outlets keeping government in check. What I do see is self-censorship in media and thus being less critical of government, I think our journalists could be more critical, but have no incentive to do so. On contrary even. I also see both uk and us as broken societies, based on information on the internet as well as documentaries about them. So am still feel glad I live in this country, with all its broken parts, but again I feel this country's governement is not (able to) censoring any if all media.
Hope you and your fellow citizens find a way to repair your society.

In this zeitgeist I am leaning towards facts being reproducible, retelling of history is by definition never reproducible. So on both side, both opinions are all opinions to me. I see the status quo trying to hold on by spinning it one way and
see opposing forces doing it the other way around. Don't have much trust in either, if I have to be honest.
I feel censoring has some intentionality in it, which I doubt is completely present. Sure for a part, but again both sides censor, twist and deceit in their benefit. It is more that both sides don't believe the other and through that ignore "obvious facts". So to be clear every side censors the other side, and accuses the other of doing that. So yeah, what am I to do about it? Again, in my opinion, facts do not exist in history retelling. Its mostly subjective speculation anyway. So I also feel that I am much more open to suggestion from the nuanced, independent middle, but these are hard to find these days 😅. And no, both msm or "independent podcasters" qualify to me as a trustworthy source.
However I still trust some state funded institutions here in the Netherlands. Cabinet itself, not so much, but I think that the justice system, bureau of statistics and some others are trustworthy. And here I feel alot of right wingers try to undermine these institutions just because they are "part of government". May be that's the case in the US, can judge that, but I feel that's a shame.
Again my biggest problem with the current political neo-liberal, anti-social climate which has destabilized society. I feel a lot of the economical, societal, housing and other problems are a direct result of the past 20 years policy. So no I don't trust government, but I don't feel the "hard, conservative right" solves problems it just polarises my country even more. That saddens me now and that saddened me enormously during and after covid.

They are actually crying that they're being censored by the government/main stream media. It's been quite problematic that even the term "fact" has become so deflated of value that simple opinions are sold of as facts 🙃

2024-10-18 15:56:27

Sure, but the exact same goes for prominent right wingers, at least that is what we in The Netherlands see. They only call it "fake news" or "alternative facts" but the meaning is equivalent.

Why do children blame each other? It would not suprise if they refuse to take accountabilty for their actions. Excuses and blaming make an luring exit of the situation. I also believe they do that because of a missing skil or knowledge to solve the problem before them. Help them overcome and they will stop blaming others or make excuses.
And, o yes, this goes for most so called grown-ups to: victimizing yourself is the refusal of taking responsibility. That refusal is rooted in inability to deal with a situation.
