Ciao Marco,
grazie per aver messo nero su bianco quello che troppo spesso bisbigliamo di bocca in orecchio a porte chiuse. La mia sensazione è che, come sempre, i pochi facciano molta confusione ed intorbidiscano le acque. Bitcoin è uno strumento, non una religione...per alcuni è diventata questione religiosa, e quando i dogmi bussano alla porta non è mai un buon segno.
Personalmente credo che sia indispensabile avere uno "zoccolo duro" di idealisti, è indispensabile per mantenere un barlume di direzione in un progetto che altrimenti è evidentemente destinato ad essere dispersivo. Fino a quando ciò non è permeante e rappresenta un ostacolo alla diversità, penso che sia un bene.
Il problema nasce nel momento in cui l'idealismo diventa mainstream, viene "annacquato" da orde di seguaci che digeriscono e rigurgitano dictat sentiti in podcast e mai veramente compresi profondamente, ne nel merito tecnico ne idealista ne politico ne filosofico ne pragmatico ne pratico.
Mi piacerebbe che si tornasse a vedere bitcoin come uno strumento...uno strumento che rappresenta una soluzione pratica ad un problema teoricamente irrisolvibile. Tutto il resto sono protagonismi di chi ha trovato i suoi 15 minuti di gloria in questo piccolo - e quasi irrilevante - settore.

True.
I would add that there'some nuance here to discuss about. I don't think Parker is pointimg at this by any means but I see that as a possible issue. That is:
Nostr privkeys and money privkeys are the same in terms of information security, but are widely different in terms of what an attacker is imcentivized to do if he/she steals keys from somebody.
When you get into possession of a bitcoin mnemonic that is not yours and has some fpunds in it (extremely unlikely by chance, but doable by other shady means) you have the incentive of emptying immediately the wallet by moving all UTXOs to on or more keys controlled by you.
If you steal Nostr keys, you don't have incentive to immediately use them for fraudulent purposes. That means that "nsec farming" is doable if considering the incentives structure.
Thus, you never actually know if your keys are truly exclusively yours or not. You can only understand that you were hacked only when the attacker starts signing notes on your behalf.
In fact, this is not different from what happens in classical social media, so no surprises here. But overall I would argue that it's true, incentives are alligned differently somehow.

Serious technical questions about #cashu
#cashu enhances privacy at the custodian level by leveraging ecash and blinded signatures, I got it and the inner worling ofnthe mechanism.
If I connect to a mint from the same IP (being that with VPN or my true IP) isn't that ruining my privacy that I supposedly gained with the cryptographic tweaking?
And if I use tor to connect to a mint, am I supposed to create a new tor connection every time in order to break any correlation and link between token requests?
Since creating a new tor connection for any interaction with the mint is a bit redundant and slow, could NWS somehow solve this issue? Is NWS a viable service for anonimizing the requests to mints?

Tried #keychat for few hours and it's working very very well, smooth experience and nice UI.
I like the options given so far, like the choice of using Signal protocol or NIP4, although as of now Signal protocol is a no brainer because of better privacy
So far I've realized a couple of things:
1) Paid relays are probably the future of #Nostr, if the protocol will gain the mass of users the hope
2) Using Nostr relays for messaging is a nice idea, particularly if the amount of relays will increase in the future (already tens out there), because of the neutral position of relays with regards to nodes, particularly Kind1 notes
3) In private messaging apps we're used to send also multimedia content, which is a bit more tricky to deal with if you aim at keeping the #Nostr protocol distributed enough
4) mobile texting today is made of apps that don't charge for the messages amount, so people are used to sent a gazillion messages of few words. The pay-for-message paradigm would completely change how we approach texting.
Paid messages and relays help me realise how low is the profitability of LN routing, btw...few hours of messages and you wipe your monthly average revenue from routing XD

It's not a matter of bitcoin, gold, wine or whatever. It's a matter of:
- I don't know how to spend it in my every day life (aka no merchants IRL accept it)
- even proxy companies (bitrefill etc) do not accept it
- it's terribly difficult to swap it for other coins
- it's terribly difficult to swap it for fiat (which I'm not interested in but still relevant)
Yes, I can pay the VPN and some VPS hosting in shidy farms, but that's not something that could justify me storing a constant amount of wealth in it.
Money is such if it is liquid (among other things), not if it's banned or not. Good money can be banned or not, bad money can be banned or not...the matter is that it would find its role in the economic system if that's the tool people want.
As of now, it is not...and it is as such since its inception.

So if you use cake with their nodes you lose the privacy you're assuming you gained with Monero. Am I wrong?
Cake does a ton of API calls to external services so I assume you deactivated all these options (that are ON by default).
With regards to LN on monero, I don't know really well the tech behind monero. I think that all the altcoins (excluded Litecoin) are living off the idea that "LN does not work, so we are not going to use it"...I don't think it would be a good marketing idea to do LN on the altcoins, because that means surrending to the obvious fact that LN is a good idea and scaling a global consensus blockchain is not. I don't think all of you (as a community) are willing to admit it.

You understand something weird is going on when a block producer decides to allocate 100milli for buying the corn instead of using 100milli to buy ASICs to mine the corn.
Mining is going to be the focal point on which Bitcoin future is decided: centralization pushes miners out of the market, and nowadays mining is terribly centralized. No plebs with their Bitaxe can decentralize again bitcoin mining...you need big miners to start adopting StratumV2.
Again, if the gold miner buys gold instead of buying pickaxe, probably that's a good sign for the short term price of gold, not for the mining industry.

The fella is a Phd in Computer Vision at MIT, which means that it's reasonable to assume that he knows pretty well the field of Computer Vision, which is a subset of the broader universe of Machine Learning.
Leaving aside my assumptions for a moment, the guy happens to have tens of peer reviewed papers and articles ranging from deep reinforcement learning to AI explainability. I never said that he knows to press buttons in a pythonic way (even though I assume he definitely can).
Preferences are a different matter, I respect yours.
I jumped in there only to point out my view about his work and how he approaches his interviews.
Since I was asked to report where and if the guy is competent on the matter of ML, I simply provided some references.

2024-07-24 16:05:34

- reply

I mean...you can just google on Google Scholar and you'll find tens of papers authored by him.
Here for example is a query with basic filtering with his name: https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=wZH_N7cAAAAJ&hl=en
Moreover, in this website you can find direct links also to lessons he did when he was instructor at MIT (that are hosted on the Deep Learning material repository of MIT).
Here is the link: https://deeplearning.mit.edu/
I honestly can't point to precise timestamps, I clearly recall the interview with Van Rossum (inventor of Python) as a good one, the one with the creator of Mojo. the interviews with Musk clearly show that he knows the stuff.
I'm not in the position to judge his writings, his lectures and his skills in deep because I'm not a PhD in Computer Vision, so I stand only on some of his stuff about RL that I've seen as a testimony of his competence. Surely there are a lot of KPIs to address competence but I'm not aware of them...I know that Google Scholar indexes quite broadly citations, so his 2957 citations could be a proxy but not so precise.

2024-07-24 14:42:02

I agree on the fact that he *seems* to be ignorant about his ignorance, even though I don't really think he is. My perception is that he eccessively tries to reduce what the counterparty said to a domain he is more knowledgeable about. With Tech stuff that is usually somehow fine, because he is a machine learning engineer...quite frankly he knows a lot about that spectrum of tech. When talking about other matters he probably has to work a bit more on the "investigative side" rather than the "conclusion" side.
Overall I find him a good podcaster: first of all he is NOT very opinionated, which means that he has the opportunity to let the truth emerge rather than simply fancying some theories of one or the other side. He goes in deep in the background, writings, experience of the other person, he does his homeworks and tries to connect the dots. This is not something I find usually in most of the other shows.

That's because it's custodial wizardry: when you deposit, the invoice shown is not your wallet, it's the LN node of the mint you selected during the setup. Then the mint, once receives the payment, mints to you some ecash tokens, that are something similar to gift cards. The balance you see is of these rcash tokens, pegged 1-to-1 with sats.

Because long term all relays will need to have some sort of business model to pay the rent. Actually, paid relays would decentralize more the protocol rather than what free relays do. if there's something free, majority goes ther; if everything comes at a cost, people are going to decide given some criterias they value more. Some will value cheap-ness, thus will use the cheapest relays. Some will value long term storage of notes, thus will pay for relays with longer storage. Etc.

You don't "join a community", you pay a server to be able to push notes to that server, which means that if you assume an average number of x notes every year and a y amount to be paid yearly for the relay, you have an average amount paid for note that is y/x.

Okay so basically you burn an old token and ask the mint to create a new one locked to a pukey.
How is that supposed to work for offline transfers then? I saw something like that with cashu.me and offline transfers.

2024-07-13 01:09:51

- reply

Goddit. Since the token is existing locally before being encrypted to a pukey, what prevents someone to create a client (or fork one) to include the option of keeping a not-encrypted version of the token locally, yhen psying by encryping it to pubkey. Then claiming back the not-encrypted version?
That's more an ecash-related question I guess
