sort of... but they genuinely all suck, imo. Having simple, intuitive, and dumb easy to use file sharing between my devices has been the bane of my internet existence.
And as much as I've been told and read "it works great over LAN" on 100 of these things, in my experience its all a massive lie because holy crap the number of SMB servers ive set up and number of times I've seen "devices on the network" that I click on and then get some random "connection failed" and then spend 30 minutes troubleshooting before realizing that I have a life is too great to count.
If someone else built the tool that makes it seamless, then I've certainly never found it.

Admittedly their stack is super complicated to work with and takes months to understand all the pieces to. The project we are building has a core that is specifically to make it so that you can do this without having to understand any of it. Makes it 100x easier, imo.

Actually the opposite, but the network effect is difficult because payouts are far more consistent. They say that FPPS (the common model) only takes a couple of percent but it’s BS, the difference with OCEAN is significant, but the miners that join them have no incentive to share those details because the gap will shrink if a bunch more hash power joins 😆
But yes, I’ve heard that the payouts, although they only happen when blocks come in, are at worst a few percent higher on OCEAN, and most of the time it seems much better than that but don’t want to say a number and be wrong. I feel safe saying 5% higher payouts for hash isnt exaggerated.

I dont know why I can't get around this in my head but I'm fully convinced that the singular problem with P2P as the foundation of the internet is simply that we could never monetize it.
I mean seriously P2P dominated all web traffic for more than half a decade. And that's *without* any way to monetize, and it was only when the establishment capitulated that things shifted back.
Now we have numerous decentralized and P2P protocols and an open digital money to monetize it all without any third parties, and we have Ai expanding the capability to write software more than any other tool in internet history... and I can't see how this doesn't swing back in a massive way.
In other words - I think people who are discounting P2P because of limitations and failures of the past, aren't properly understanding the past or its limitations, imo.
Maybe I'm wrong, but I intend to put it to the test.

Programmers are just people who build things with computers and code. They will not be replaced, they will be augmented the same as an engineer with a graphing calculator or modeling program who previously had to do all calculations by pencil and paper.
People always seem to think “this time is different” with technology even though when we look back in history this has happened a thousand times and every single time the people were saying “this time is different.” Jevons paradox holds true, when things are easier to create, we just demand an order of magnitude more of that thing.

Bunkers are great for power users but terrible UX for the average person.
I don’t know enough about frost to know if or how it solves the problem.
And interoperability would be purely a problem of adoption would it not? That seems like a bad reason to make a decision at this stage. “Soft forks” only get harder and this is an important one. The “damage” of not being integrated is simply creating a new key for a specific client or service., but that other services would still see as belonging to you if they support it.
In other words the problem would be isolated to clients that don’t support it would not not?

John actually said you could create a Nostr key from a Pubky pretty easily during the demo. I specifically asked and he seemed to think it wouldn’t be hard, but I’m not sure exactly their relationship or how you’d go about it

2025-04-15 16:12:38

- reply

Yeah you just authenticate your user/device. This is basically how every traditional system works, and that’s why you don’t need some crazy sub key system or have to run around pasting your social private keys into every browser or app you want to try out which is crazy dangerous.
They both have very obvious trade offs and I’m not inclined to make a confident claim as to which is better. They both have pains.

2025-04-15 15:11:55

lol, brand new, still in beta. It’s basically a P2P protocol for “home servers” (just think relays) and then personal “domains” (think keys). Similar in concept to Nostr, except the record of users is placed in the DHT, so it’s insanely censorship resistant and if you ever want anyone to find you or your content, nobody can take down your DNS record because it’s stored through the BitTorrent network.
So there are solid censorship resistant benefits to pubky, but the server model is more traditional, where you don’t really have control, you are just using their server space. You don’t sign every message like you do in #Nostr. Great for UX because you don’t have to keep keys online, but a trade off on trust because each “relay” has the ability to arbitrarily change your messages (like Twitter or any other server).
So my take on Pubky v Nostr @nprofile…szx8:
the trust relationship is worse in Pubky in some regards because all activity isn’t signed by the user, decentralization makes the likelihood of abuse slightly higher, but the UX of just having to “sign in” and it works as expected and you can use as many clients and servers as you like, plus run your own at home is a solid benefit, and the censorship resistance of the DHT is probably best you can get.
Honestly I think they can be used in tandem where each is optimized for a particular piece of the puzzle. Delays and DHT domains could be used with Nostr. It’s a matter of the right tool for the right job. Curious how each will be used in the long run. Watching both closely

This is the only way “medium of exchange” happens, btw.
It’s when liquidity is great enough and merchants demand it. Thats it. You can’t force it or fake it. It has to be widely desirable enough for merchants to prioritize it.
This is why it happens after it becomes widely used to save and protect wealth. Medium of exchange comes very naturally from the fact that everyone is acquiring it.

There is probably a subset of issues that occur when over using sunglasses, but it’s a great example of correlation with absolutely no control group. The use of sunglasses probably aligned with the use of thousands of other products and changes at the same time, alongside the slow and steady increase in rates of cancer.
In other words, you could likely correlate thousands of things along these same time periods and also have a pretty decent narrative for why any of them could be unhealthy or have consequences.

Reliable…
• BCH broke the most critical and elegant system in the entire protocol, the difficulty adjustment, as its very first task. They literally killed everything trusted and valuable about the network instantly and had to hard fork twice to save it.
• BCH devolved into multiple hard forking wars from infighting and petty nonsense because now any developer who disagrees thinks you can just break apart the network to get what you want. Live by the fork die by the fork.
• Despite being “so much better” BCH has seen a whopping 14K transactions in the past 24 hours. BTC has settled 429K.
• There are no fees on BCH because literally nobody uses it.
• The next block on BCH is estimated at 0.09 MB. Looks like you never even needed those 32MB blocks… or whatever the hell it is now.
• A mining pool that nobody in this thread has ever heard of could sneeze in the direction of BCH and ruin its block production for a week.
BCH is the equivalent of a child on a tricycle sitting next to a tank and whining.

I think the lead example if far fetched because whether in tiny amounts or large amounts it’s explicitly toxic to human tissue. Whereas the problem with cereals and constant ingestion of grains is the ceaseless minor damage building up over very extended periods. It’s mostly that the body never has time to repair the inflammation. But also some people can handle much more than others and your genetics and where in the world your ancestors are from matter too. Some people have integrated certain foods for tens of thousands of years, some were only exposed within a few hundred years. I fully recognize the picture isn’t perfectly identical for everyone.

2025-04-12 18:18:15

- reply

Also there is a great amount of evidence that a constant diet of that will very likely lead to chronic disorders, inflammation, and potentially cancer. But that doesn’t mean every single person who eats cereal gets cancer, and it certainly doesn’t mean that your other foods and lifestyle don’t change things. They clearly have an enormous effect.
Example, my friend’s grandmother smoked everyday until she was in her 90s and never got lung cancer. That wouldn’t be sufficient evidence that it’s fine for everyone to smoke everyday and there will be no consequences. I also ate cereal for much of my life until my mid twenties and never got cancer nor had a heart attack. But within weeks of drastically changing my diet away from foods like that, there were significant shifts, including a persistent full body “puffy ness” (inflammation) that I had never seen because I’d never corrected my diet for long enough to see it subside. My face literally looked different. My wife did the same and we can now see it in all of our old pictures. We can just look through pictures and know if it was before or after that period because our faces are just puffy.
That doesn’t mean the experience would be exactly the same for everyone, but we are constantly sold an absolute inversion of the truth when it comes to diet. We are told to eat grains, vegetables, and fibers when we get almost no nutrients from these things, can’t digest much of them, and they produce bad cholesterols, have bad oils, and carry tons of toxins. While simple animals oils, meat, good cholesterols, and healthy fats are not only not encouraged, but actively attacked.
We’ve done exactly what has been suggested by our “health professionals,” yet we are drowning in chronic disease, inflammation and are horribly unhealthy. The results speak for themselves, imo.
It would also seem to me to be backward for someone to be bothered about hearing that foods that are actually healthy… are in fact healthy - even if exaggerated to the importance. Especially when what amount to flat lies about the same topic are broadcast from every direction, pushed by much of the medical establishment, and repeated as gospel at every commercial break all day long. 🤷🏻‍♂️
Maybe be bothered by that as well considering what it has done to our country? 🤔 Worth considering which one to focus on, imo.

This kinda tells me you have no argument, or at least this is the most empty and meaningless thing you’ve responded with so far.
“Open source is your religion” following my simple, truthful statement is so wildly out of context it’s crazy. I said open source is a significant part of the foundation of the digital economy, because it factually is. Your response shows a greater indication that you are hiding some sort of ideological bias than myself by far.

And what if the laws are self contradictory? If I come up with a cool idea for a new tool, and then someone else takes their own resources, time, and energy to build a similar tool, then there is no way I’m NOT the one who is horribly immoral by sending armed thugs to their property, and destroying and stealing the results of their work.
You cannot own an idea. The very purpose of an idea is to share and communicate it. And everyone is richer for it.
This is the entire idea behind open source and why it remains so successful and such a foundational part of the digital economy.
And all you need is contract law. You do not need copyright law in order for something that is like copyright in practice to naturally emerge within networks.
Either way I agree, radical change is needed to the structure of laws around intellectual property. I say this as a filmmaker, storyteller, and media creator.
There are many more models than, “send government goons to attack anyone who copies my work or uses my ideas for their benefit.”

If you still think e-commerce and retail payments are where the world has gone off the rails, and this where the *big* problem that #Bitcoin needs to fix, then IMO you don’t understand our monetary system.
The misallocation and fraudulent pricing of 100s of Trillions in capital doesn’t happen through consumer payments.
Sovereign consumer payments and P2P cash are of course the end goal, but they aren’t even close to the biggest problem we have. In fact it means nothing if you don’t solve the monetary foundation first.

A trade war means high monetary friction in fiat. When that war is between major economic players, it means major players and globally spanning systems hunting for alternatives and bringing new infrastructure online.
As Bitcoiners have discussed for years, this is the breakdown in political cohesion of the fiat empire, and the fight to reestablish dominance.
This is the environment #Bitcoin was built for.

Still not grokking this. Didn’t they use a small qbit machine to break a “toy cipher” just to prove that Grover’s algorithm can work in a practical sense?
Unfortunately details are extremely difficult to get concrete info on, but I would value practical use over theoretical analysis every day of the week.
Example: The Byzantine General’s problem also isn’t solvable “mathematically,” and Bitcoin didn’t actually solve it. Instead it got around it by creating a massive asymmetrical economic incentive FOR being honest and AGAINST attacking it. So it has a probabilistic safeguard against the impossible problem, rather than a solution.
Or in other words, theoretically it’s unsolvable, but practically it’s been solved.

Not relevant to what I’m brining up. Settling of value and transaction volume are totally separate metrics that measure different things.
Example:
A car proves for the first time the case of quickly carrying someone to the hospital with medical and emergency equipment sustaining their life during the trip. It’s suggested this will change the nature of emergency response forever. Someone says, “but there was no traffic.”

16
Pattern I see is multiply the first two numbers horizontally, then in the next square subtract one from the second number. So the first row of it had another number would be 28.
So you get 8*2 at the bottom, or 16
But I’m curious what other pattern some else sees. I noticed a comment that was just attracting the 1st from the 3rd of each row. Which could also work and you could just keep going with skipping a block and then subtracting the next set. So the 1st row continued would be 29, or 35-6.

Just to note: I don’t think there is an “end game” to any of this. Not really a time where humans are never needed, and not really a point where Ai “learns everything” because I think those are just based on false premises. The more we can make and the faster we can learn, only makes things more complex. So things will expand and possibilities will expand (necessarily) at a rate faster than our capabilities do, because our capabilities themselves expand possibilities.
If that doesn’t make any sense then maybe an analogy:
When all you can do is walk, you only have the land around you to settle. If you have a spaceship that travels the speed of light, then you have a billion star systems to settle with a billion challenges a billion times more difficult than what you’ll find within walking distance. Technology actually *makes the world bigger.* There is no horizon. Everything is infinite.

Probably the economy becomes entirely social and cultural. We are already seeing a massive shift toward that anyway with the rise of social media. The new goal of humanity may be a giant collective argument about finding meaning.

lol do random thoughts tend to bother you enough that you feel the need to comment how worthless you think they are? 🤣

It’s just shortening the distance between idea and its application. It isn’t contributing art, it’s contributing production of imagery.
In other words, it’s closer to a stupid fast photoshop than it is an artist. Art is fundamentally about a human and mortal perspective on value. Something that does not live nor die cannot have actual values. It can only regurgitate them from something else.

Walking Thoughts:
The idea that Ai will take over everything and humans will have nothing to do is the same as saying there will be nothing left to learn.
Currently, all Ai is trained on words, images, code, and tools that humans have produced. This is sort of fundamental to what Ai is in its current structure. Without human input there is no Ai.
But in reality there is an infinite amount to learn, and what can be learned actually EXPANDS with new technology, it does not contract.
— What I think it actually means for how our economy changes:
In the coming decades, if you aren’t actively learning something new and producing/testing results of those new ideas, then you most likely aren’t producing any value. Our job as humans may end up being to brute force our different corners and perspectives of the world to produce information that can train Ai. (Imagine it like everyone contributing their own little piece to a giant code repository). The uniqueness of our perspectives and our applications of them will provide unique counter/supporting data for building models of everything in our world.

I can say that all of my own depression seems to align with thinking about myself. I would say I haven’t suffered through very serious depression outside of periods while growing up, but I have had friends who have had experienced much worse.

I still think you are equating two things that are not the same, imo. Being depressed is being helpless and believing nothing will go right and there’s no reason to do anything at all.
Simply being overwhelmed with thinking about what you need to do to get through the day is not depression.
Related: optimism is explicitly not situation dependent, like by definition it isn’t, because all problems are only relative. It’s very much like value. An example might be aboriginal tribes who are deeply poor and don’t even understand the type of wealth available in the world, but does this make them all horribly depressed?

I can see that too. I probably have some inactive accounts in my follows still, but I also never really followed randomly, I just traveled through the follow lists of the people I already know up here and grabbed a bunch if they just clearly seemed like real accounts at a glance and had posted anything recently.

The external world does not control your mindset. Thats a suggestion that we are automatons and that someone who is poor has literally no agency on how they even perceive it. There are countless examples that prove this isn’t the case.
Sure stats of depressed people probably tend toward those under lots of stress and bad circumstances, but that doesn’t mean people have no capacity to control their thoughts.

I think the strategy for that probably differs a lot from person to person.
Example, I have good luck following a bunch of active accounts and then narrowing it down as I see more of what they post to start off, then when the feed feels good start slowly adding later.
In other words editing as I go is more natural to me than being meticulous about it at the start when I have little frame of reference.
I bet it’s different for different people.

Being stressed or having a rough time of it isn’t the same as being depressed. You can be sad about circumstances of events without being depressed.

Yeah it’s super complicated to build with because it’s a bunch if interworking protocols, but that’s what we’re building PearDrive for actually.
We are abstracting away all the Hypercore and hyperdrive stuff so you can build and use it intuitively as you would think a P2P drive ought to work. We’re trying to remove the complication.

I at least notice that every time I’ve found myself in a shitty place mentally or moping around, im literally always thinking about myself. Usually it’s beating myself up for not doing enough, but it’s always about me.

HODLr is in it for the long haul and/or the rebellion against fiat.
Maximalist sold all shitcoins for BTC, closed their fiat retirement accounts or directed them at BTC, and gets excited when the price falls.
