Yeah it was a car jacking at an AirBNB I was staying at. The part that still kind of haunts me is that my inaction led to a woman on the other side of the complex I was staying at (this was a gated community!) actually getting car jacked after they ran from me. I've never met her but the cops told me she was ok other than being shook up. I guess it turns out they were a part of some mexican gang because the cops picked them up and asked me to come back to Texas a couple weeks later to ID them but there's no way I could point them out. The first hit I took from the stick literally launched my contact out of my eye so I was fighting blurry the rest of the encounter.

100%. I've thought many times about the situation and had they had any sense they could have still had a chance because I wasn't prepared at the time to take a life. I was the perfect description of what you were pointing out.
When I pulled two of the guys immediately ran. The third stayed and kept punching me in the face lol if they had all just rushed my arms it could have went many other ways.
This isn't to say I don't train wiht my firearms on the reg either. I could go from holstered to a shot in quick fashion but being ready to take a life was a different thing for me. I'm honestly lucky it played out the way it did. I commend you for all the points you make.

It allows you to have much better notifications of nostr interactions. Instead of each app trying to run their own notification servers, you install Pokey and it communicates with your chosen relays to give you notifications directly.

As I asked before can you point me to where I can read additional minutes of subcommittee and decision votes? How would I attempt to provide clear examples if I don't have the documents to prove such things. I can only point to what I have access to.
I take away a differing opinion on this one instance of public minutes showing that NVK attempts to do things that subvert fairness. If someone only does one bad thing do they not deserve reprocussions? Besides I smell lots of smoke and all know where there's smoke, theres fire.
Again NVK may be technical but there are many other technical people that can provide guideance without compromising principles.

2024-11-15 10:42:19

Looking at what is posted in public meeting notes gives me concern without having to look into subcommittee records. This is from the 2024 Q2 Minutes:
18:55 — NVK briefly proposes that we add artificial intelligence (AI) as a category of projects that we fund. He has domain expert in AI who can set up a subcommittee for applications related to AI. Since this is currently a very trendy area that might overwhelm our processing if it gets attention, he suggests that we make it low-key. Janine points out that we are probably required to publicly announce this, otherwise the fairness of the offering could be challenged.
Why does @nprofile…pfrd have to remind NVK to keep applications for funds fair?

2024-11-15 10:33:09

- reply

Why are you so defensive towards NVK's position on the Board? If something is only 89% as good as it could be and we both can understand the community's concerns, why would improving it be so contentious?
Additionally NVK doesn't need to vote to have a chilling effect. He can make his false accusations against project's merits before abstaining as he's done numerous times in public. This chilling effect is not needed and could be improved with a less troll candidate.
Before naming names, is there a way I can look at voting records or secretary recorded discussions from subcommittees? As you've stated I don't have insider knowledge of how OpenSats is being operated but I can certainly see how others are perceiving their operations and thus my concerns. If I can research that then I'd be happy to include names.

2024-11-15 02:25:39

- reply

I don't either but I can certainly see how this will affect funding for the organization in total. I hope @nprofile…hdd2 would consider these calls from many members of the Bitcoin community and at least call a special meeting per Art III, Section 7 to allow board members to make that decision on an individual personal level. I also trust mayn of the other board members and would hope they'd do the right thing for the organization.

2024-11-15 02:18:00

- reply

You understand the concern so what would be the right way to address it for the good of OpenSats and the existing donation base it has?

2024-11-15 02:06:59

- reply

@nprofile…vu4p sits on the 9 member board that determines what projects are funded by the organization. There is a growing view that Bitcoin projects are not being funded by OpenSats due to conflicts of interests from board members. Regardless if NVK is abstaining or not, his presence on the board only leads to concerns from members of the Bitcoin community. There are very qualified members of the community that could provide the technical guidance to the Board's decisions that are not nearly in a level of conflict that NVK brings.

Dollar doesn't limit money creation to a responsible entity. There's lots of people counterfitting physical dollars that get absorbed into the economy all the time. This ends up increasing the available supply beyond the actual issuer's desires.
Crypto projects are limited to creation only by the rules of the token because they're still tied to underlying math just like Bitcoin. If the code allows for money cretion then yeah that can still be a problem but crypto actually has better protections against creation (when imposed by code) than the dollar does because of cryptographic proofs (outside the range of network control.)
I don't really see a use for crypto, outside of Bitcoin, either. The whole point of this topic was more so about the dollar than it was crypto. Shitcoins were just brought in to highlight my disdain for the dollar more so than highlighting them. The point for me in shitcoins is the ease of convertability to Bitcoin over the dollar primarily, without the need to hold a slave token enforced by violence.

Whoa huge update from @npub1zmc…7f60 on GRAIN that I missed. This is super cool!
Backup Relay Support: Introduced a new feature to configure a backup relay. When enabled, Grain will send stored events to this backup relay after successfully storing them in the main database. This allows for seamless rebroadcasting to other personal relays or blaster relays, facilitating broader event dissemination.
Support for Nostr Mutelists: Introduced the ability to consider one or multiple pubkeys' nostr mutelists as blacklists. This allows the relay to dynamically block events based on mutelist data, adding another layer of event filtering.
