Your arguments are good, however if they did work no one would use banks. Unfortunately, all businesses I know have at least 1 banking account.

Unfortunately, most businesses are not into cryptocurrencies due to different reasons, and thus even ones who "got the plot" are forced into using fiat to pay to their contractors at least.

But there is almost nothing stopping these communities to have multiple relays unlike in truly centralized services.

This is valid point as well. However, I personally know people who are not (willing to?) understand #Bitcoin and issues it aims to solve.
Personally, for me it looks like people used fiat too much and they are programmed to believe in it despite initial cryptocurrency idea being superior. Sure, implementation might not be ideal, but it constantly improves.

2024-10-03 19:34:15

- reply

As a business I would say that, unfortunately, many of contractors want to get paid in fiat. Hence for me BTC/USD and BTC/EUR means something.
However, I do agree with you that long term, holding BTC is way better to holding fiat.

Try this:
```
p2p-use-ipv6=true
prune-blockchain=1
sync-pruned-blocks=1
in-peers=1024
out-peers=1024
```
Depending on how you are running the monerod, you will need to raise LimitNOFILE / ulimit -n, the safe value for the config snippet above is 4096

I use Rspamd, but if I understood you correct the issue is with SpamAssasin filtering MUA connections. The best option is to disable RBLs for 465 and 587 at all. If not possible, you can consider making a whitelist or tor exits

Aren't hardest hardest things to achieve to gather content, especially video, are:
1. Platform (well, in case of nostr - protocol and related user interfaces like clients) popularity - few content creators will use niche solutions due to lack of viewers;
2. User-friendliness - there is PeerTube as an YouTube alternative, however it is both too expensive (for video storage and for bandwidth costs) for a single content creator?

2024-09-19 13:30:28

No, there are no such thing as better time to sync.
May I know what monerod arguments did you use?

As far as I know, the bottleneck is CPU when syncing latest blocks

#asknostr Anyone has personal nostr #relay for multiplexation purposes / saving websockets on a mobile?
So far I have found a few projects but they seem to not be actively maintained or widely used:
- https://github.com/bndw/nostr-relay-proxy
- https://github.com/Dolu89/nostr-proxy
I would like to hear your opinion on this idea in general, do you know any implementations or what do you think about these specific ones.

I am somewhat biased towards certificates - I see them more as vendor's confirmation of yours' proficiency in using specific software/hardware in a way they expect you to.
As for Linux kernel and it's wide and extremely diverse ecosystem, there is no single entity, who are in charge of judging what is OK and what's not. IMO, closest to this position are Red Hat due to their contributions and enterprise services (Red Hat Enterpise Linux distro, it's components they've developed exclusively for it, testing environment like Fedora and CentOS Stream, OpenStack, Ansible...).

Aren't there newbies-friendly clients already available? IMO, the biggest issue for a newcomer is getting to whom follow. Currently the only solution I see is to accompany your non-tech friend/relative to familiarize them with nostr step-by-step

It is considered good only by newcomers who are not into privacy or decentralization stuff. There are a lot of newcomers due to rising Bitcoin popularity.

I like this idea. Huge PoW to register on a relay might make using disposable npubs useless (too expensive) for an adversary (spammer)

2024-09-09 06:09:26

- reply

But while normal users post a few posts per day, the spammer does multiple per second? Isn't it different magnitude of required computational power, making spam way more expensive?

To actually own IPv4 block you need to be a LIR, having only ASN is not sufficient. I don't know much about ARIN, but at RIPE it is pretty expensive to be a LIR. It only makes sense if you have large address space, not for a few /24s.

I would agree that "Stay invisible — practice good #privacy. Don’t make yourself a target in the first place" is the best approach, however is not applicable for public persons, as they are inevitably will be targeted.
As for duress wallet is makes you an easy target even for non-targeted attackers, which is not a good in long-term.
Depending on personal wealth and environment one lives, different physical security measures should be applied.

Hey @nprofile…wdjr, I have tried to reach you via DM a few month ago but no reply was received. So I am asking you publicly if it is possible to correct our listing (https://kycnot.me/service/skhron) to include Bitcoin #Lightning? We use BTCPay Server to receive it for a while already using own node.

If being honest, we get more transactions (both in quantity and amount) in XMR, not LN.

2024-08-01 12:30:57

Nostr is exciting solution for text content, but I don't understand how visual memes are uncensorable here? Isn't media actually not stored in a network but served from a specific URL someone posted?
