I read it a few times. This is so satisfying in a unique way: the question is a joke, the answer is serious, but in a way that also somewhat fits as a joke. There's an (un)deserved elegance to it.

I have no strong opinion about communism either way. I don't know that much about it.
However, I'm fairly sure that communism takes control over a particular concern of morality: the equal treatment. (And prly "treatment" is an inaccurately chosen word, but you get my drift.) And then it only seems to work (well) in theory.

2024-08-15 12:42:10

- reply

Ah, that's what bugs me. The point is, different systems approach things, such as morality, differently. Religion claims to have the answer, but also (often) claims that it is needed for this answer, i.e. "if not for religion where would you get your x", e.g. morals. (And I don't feel like looking up and listing outdated/immoral practices that are prescribed.) It takes an ownership and authority based on false claims.
But the thing is, you also mention for yourself now that you think about it and adapt it for yourself. So the morality is there, but also not in a reliable/immutable form, such that it requires adaptation. And how it's adapted changes per person. Adaptations, even to the point that things aren't even supposed to be taken literally.

One could say that the religious had their chance and they blew it by being a bunch of abusive liars. Religion will always be opportunistic and parasitic in nature.
The only positive examples I know of people that have a religious belief, are those that use their own intelligence primarily and belief in some religion secondarily. And I think religion ultimately holds those people back.

Let me try to be even clearer: I know that those comments are targeted. It's obvious. What I don't know, is what you're basing all the comments on. What value system? What "expected behavior"? What disposition?
I have 5 years of persistent continuous attacks over things I never did wrong. People are clearly interfering. I have no clue on why any of it is necessary, or productive in any way. It seems to me like a lot of pointless bullshit.
So, enlighten me.
And don't give me the "great people talk about ideas" excuse, because there have been 15 years of prior abuse and attacks that I did not deserve. There is no reason why I would not be allowed to correct obvious lies.

If this is supposed to mean anything to me, you'll still have to include the many (false) assumptions and false accusations.

It's not as complicated as it seems. Sometimes raw bytes are transformed into alphabetic characters to make them easy to communicate, possibly with a small checking value included to prevent typos. But some texts are more convenient to work with on screen, and others to write down.
Then there are the many flavors of transformation.

Okay, I'll look at the specs to see what the missing step is then. That's fine.
From binary representation to base58 should give a significant shortening of the key. But I'm not sure you're really looking for an alternative representation. The pairing you showed is okay to make it easy to copy by pencil. I'm guessing that's what you're aiming for.

You can decode bech32 to the raw bytes, and the raw bytes into the mnemonic, right? The raw bytes are the secret key, so from there create a mnemonic? Am I missing a step in the process?

Why not those BIP recovery words? Is that intentional? If it's about writing down, Crockford's base58 is prly more compact and drops just a few chars that look too much like other chars, like i, I, l, 1

The religious have shown far too many bad faith, bad, cynical attitude judgements. Not everything is about fear or control, but there have been plenty of indicators of misunderstanding. Misunderstanding of intentions, principles, morals, of what is valued.
Wisdom says that if they have to pressure you to decide within a constrained period, it isn't in your best interest. And the conveniently chosen responses showed that they will pick the outcomes to their own benefit, with deliberate vagueness to allow for freedom to manipulate conclusions.
What I constantly pick up, is the suggestion of "losing"/"having lost" without making it concrete. Some don't even make sense to me, i.e. confused/surprised. In this way, when you can control outcome, you can implicitly promise anyone the world, as you can control whether or not you have to delover. So essentially, I haven't lost anything and from my perspective there has been a whole lot of fake, manipulated, pretentious bullshit, that has been going on for way too long.
They don't know me, don't understand me, they misjudge, but somehow I should believe they knew best?

And consider that things can be a lot more "down to earth" while still having some unexplained mysteries.
The Egyptians may have referred to themselves as a legacy civilization who inherited certain things from "those who came before them". They very likely did not imply any form of superpowers but instead reverance for skills the Egyptians didn't have. See e.g. the work by https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2Stn8atEra7SMdPWyQoSLA especially recent work analyzing (i.e. advanced metrology) predynastic vases that seem too good to be true.

I think capturing architecture in a (single, general) pattern will ever work. You're forcing yourself too low-level, thus trespassing on "design" concerns. Architecture concerns the subject's context of varying aspects and qualifications. It should find suitable solutions to fit snuggly within the context based on appropriately defined requirements. "A pattern" isn't going to cut it. No matter what way you name, shape or stretch it.

You can buy a general purpose "security device", currently a sort of early experiment, IIUC. (See https://tillitis.se/ ) It can load small programs. I'm writing such a program.

This #nostr note is posted from a small test application and signed with a key that is internal to the #security device.

Imagine being a good person, helping people, being generous, looking for mutually beneficial solutions, treat no-one like they're an enemy but instead try to figure out how to resolve things. Do that for 35+ years. Then get backstabbed by *everyone* over lies, false accusations, deception. Getting no chance to explain, attempts of explanations you make either are twisted into something malicious or dismissed. In the mean time, you're being attacked, harassed on a daily basis. And people do everything to steal all your work and effort away from you.
At some point, you aren't going to be "all-positive" anymore, because you'll find out that the vast majority of people don't really have morals or decency, and aren't really capable of thinking, or hearing your side of the story. They just want an excuse as "permission" to be complete assholes.

Maybe I could/should whip up a design with the variations in a code-repo. Establish the idea and see if I can get some support. It would probably take (almost) as long as writing the prototype, but at least there can be a conversation then.

2024-07-03 09:16:45

- reply

No, sry, I think you misunderstood. I can (with reasonable likelihood) have hardware-backed mechanism (prototype) in a couple of weeks, maybe one if dependency libraries work out and I allow myself to be very optimistic.
It's a small general-purpose security device, more of a prototype. Not with extreme hardware security (yet), but the necessary computations would be (protected and) executed in hardware. Also depends on design and expectations, given that device would need to be present for signing. I can think of variations in which device protects nsec at rest, then unlocking secret to load in client-app memory. We can prly support multiple varations for different purposes (simultaneously).
The problem is that support would need to be present in the clients to be useful, and it would require a considerable amount of time to also modify the clients. I am quite limited on time/resources so, with no support from any devs, I don't want to further divide my focus. I proposed this idea before, but got no response.

It's not future labor. Money functions roughly as a store/proxy for (valuable) time already spent. The whole fractional reserve thing dilutes the value as it grows the pool therefore reducing value per unit.
The future only comes into play when speculating on future outcomes. And I guess bullshit accounting like Enron's, although these correct themselves through (re)valuation.

2024-07-02 12:41:54

- reply

I discussed an option with someone before. He never did follow up. I guess not interested.
There is something with some limitations, that can work. It's fairly freeform. Either work with a secret embedded on the device, which you cannot choose, or work with a secret that's stored on the client such that the device is needed to work with the private key, e.g. on-device signing.

It is quite absurd. I get similar impression of how things are going. It doesn't make sense to me. If you can think rationally, you should be able to derive that things don't add up. Probably the most prevalent distinguisher is having a very large deviating impression of reality and/or morality.
