☀️ GM fellow plebs!
This morning I'm reading a "Notice of Data Breach" from ticketmaster, admitting their systems were hacked and my personal data was leaked 3 months ago.
These notices are getting more common and motivating me to help rebuild the web with nostr & bitcoin so this data never needs to be collected in the first place.
LFG! https://image.nostr.build/1c61c4cd959a266df03106982cb6c49a70ff7c2fa7719659838b33adc2cecd0d.jpg

After a brief skim of the 65 page PDF, it looks like it’s a bag of crypto messaging solutions without a well defined problem it’s addressing…
Nostr seems to be the opposite: Very specific problem & solution is easier for devs to reason about and integrate.
Or so I guess.

Overall, I agree that this miner centralization is a concern and I'm grateful that people like you have identified it and built solutions.
The part I disagree with is that we have to "make" miners do something or else we lose everything
I've never been able to "make" anyone to do anything in my entire life. The idea that I can "make" a global free market of people do something is laughable.
People don't spend time and resources adopting solutions to their theoretical problems, only the few that hurt the most.
Things will get worse before they'll get better. As people are censored or governments force miners to leave money on the table, solutions will be adopted.
Solutions built by people like you, who planned ahead and did the work.
Yesterday I didn't know that my pool, Braiins, is pushing Antpool templates.
Today I do, and not only that, there are options for me to make it better.
That's anti-fragile as fuck. How can I not be bullish?

I agree to a point. It's good to know (and be able to choose) where you send your data.
But people don't need to understand SMTP to send an email or HTTP to use a website.
These protocols are simply abstracted away from us by our software so we can just focus on our own problems.
Hopefully in the future people will use Nostr with just a vague idea of what it is and whats possible, while their tools can make a bunch of decisions for them so they don't have to think about whats happening under the hood.

I see what you mean, but I think that community is still warming up to the idea of "crypto" anything since it doesn't really fit their existing mental models.
