### El Salvador Drops Bitcoin ###
El Salvador recently approved changes to its Bitcoin law, which sparked a rally in its dollar bonds. This move indicates that the country is close to securing a $1.4 billion loan from the International Monetary Fund (IMF). However, the IMF had previously urged El Salvador to remove Bitcoin's status as legal tender due to concerns over financial stability, financial integrity, and consumer protection.
Now, I wonder how all those Bitcoiners that move there are feeling, betrayed probably...

are you signing to your coinos account with Amber or a browser extension? be sure your nsec in coinos matches your client, that used to be an issue, people would sign in to coinos and get a new nsec, when doing the NWC you have a mismatch

Few things:
1. get a check mark in #Nostr, there are few options, I suggest nostrcheck.me, once you get it, edit your profile and update your Nostr-Address, not having it will hide you in some clients
2. follow hashtags, a good way to find like minded people
3. think of your nsec as your Bitcoin private keys, act accordingly
4. chose a client that respect your privacy, meaning, you can sign in with a Signer protecting your nsec, it has TOR built in and above all, you can manage the relays you use. I suggest @nprofile…s8dt t
5. add your lighting address in the profile so you can get zap, few options out there, I suggest @nprofile…0pev for most people
have fun!

Is very good , the backup and recovery needs work, lots have been done so far, more needs to be done.
There should be an export file to recover funds while moving to another mobile or simply recovering from a major issue. At the moment is a text copied to the clipboard, you need to paste it on a text file. After that, how to recover it is a mystery to me, I am assuming by redeeming but have not tried yet.
The perfect solution would be auto backup to a file daily and manually we can take care of the cloud sync

Quick query using LMs
Q1:
Several post-quantum cryptography schemes and algorithms are being developed and implemented to resist potential attacks from future quantum computers. Some notable examples include:
1. Open Quantum Safe (OQS) project: Aims to integrate current post-quantum schemes in one library, including algorithms like Ring Learning with Errors (LWE) key exchange (BCNS15 and NewHope) and Module Learning With Error (ML-KEM) (CRYSTALS-Kyber).
2. Frodo: A learning-with-errors (LWE) based key exchange algorithm.
NTRU Encrypt: A lattice-based encryption algorithm with a relatively small public key size (766.25 B) and private key size (842.875 B).
3. Random Linear Code based encryption (RLCE): A scheme with a larger public key size (115 kB) and smaller private key size (3 kB).
>Note
Additionally, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has announced its first quantum-resistant algorithms, based on structured lattices and hash functions, which could resist quantum computer attacks.

That is cool, for some reason when creating the eCash token the QR code would not show, it will give an error stating the string was too long, pity didnt took a snap shot
For some reason I can't comprehended, without restarting the app, without stopping and cleaning the cache, the eCash token QR code now shows perfectly, every time 🤔... Have been coding for ages and every time something similar to this happens in my apps is so disconcerting,
BTE, We need a way to backup the tokens to an encrypted file...

But the OTF funds projects well known in the CyberSecurity world, even Tails, so I wouldn't worry much, if privacy maxi, use SimpleX Chat, or Session App, IMO hands down best
privacy and adoption is growing, even non tech savvy individuals can be on boarded easily
**#What is known of OTF?**#
Open Technology Fund (OTF) funds a variety of projects focused on internet freedom, digital security, and privacy. Some examples of projects funded by OTF include:
Technology development and implementation projects, such as:
+ Secure operating systems (e.g., Qubes and Tails)
+ Anonymizing browsers (e.g., Tor)
+ Encrypted message services (e.g., Signal)
+ VPN and circumvention solutions for users in highly restrictive censorship environments
Research projects, including:
+ Analysis of novel online censorship and surveillance techniques
+ Exploration of solutions to address these threats
Digital security projects, such as:
+ Security audits for open-source projects (e.g., Cryptocat, Commotion Wireless, TextSecure, GlobaLeaks, MediaWiki, OpenPGP.js, Nitrokey, Ricochet, and Signal)
+ Bug bounty programs (e.g., for The Tor Project)
Convenings and community learning initiatives
Support for user costs for open-source projects and communities
Emergency support for journalists, human rights defenders, and civil society organizations facing digital threats and attacks
OTF also provides ongoing project support for activities such as security audits, usability and user safety, translations, and community learning. Additionally, the fund offers matching donations for auditing non-OTF-supported projects that are in use by individuals and organizations under threat of censorship/surveillance.

Yes, the app is FLOSS yet, despite the extensive scrutiny done by coders there are many that feel they many be a honey pot as you do. SimpleX Chat fixes that, problem is, most people uses messengers openly known as government tools as WhatsApp Viber, Meta Messenger ,etc...
Signal has done some major progress on becoming more private, the latest was removing the mobile number need to use the app.
***What we need to know is, How is it funded:***
(pay attention to the OTF, this, IMO is the reason some feel uneasy):
Signal Messenger operates as a non-profit organization, relying on donations and grants to fund its development and maintenance. Here are some key funding sources:
1. Initial Funding: Brian Acton, co-founder of WhatsApp, donated $50 million to the Signal Foundation in 2017.
2. Donations: Signal relies on public donations from individuals and organizations to sustain its operations. As of 2020, Signal ran entirely on donations.
3. Grants: Signal has received grants from organizations such as the Knight Foundation, the Shuttleworth Foundation, and the Open Technology Fund (OTF), a US government-sponsored initiative.
4. Subsidies: Signal's parent organization, the Signal Technology Foundation, receives subsidies from the Signal Foundation, which is funded by donations and grants.
Signal's non-profit status and open-source nature ensure that the app remains free and accessible to users worldwide, without the need for advertising or data monetization. The organization's commitment to user privacy and security is reflected in its mission to "protect free expression and enable secure global communication through open source privacy technology."

Go here
https://app.nip05.social/s/home
Register with your npub (the public one) and get an email with the conformation. You will have a readable "npub" address verifying you ( kind of, better than nothing ) as a human ,but the real importance is that any person can fake your profile picture and page, but they will not be able to fake your pub... Being so long ,no one will go check, but with the nip05 you got an easy unique identifier like diyana@nostrid.com for example... Adding that to the search box will find you in Nostr...
Regarding amber, in settings, add your NSEC (private key, the one you don't share with no one), add a name to the profile and when a site or app ask you to sign, if they have amber you click on it and the app will open prompting you to approve (sign) the action with your private key
Hope this helps

**#Exposing the flaws in the mobile network system***
Corrupted greedy telecom employees are a key component of the problem, they sell your data, they sell access to the telecom network for a monthly payment.
Counter measures (for what is worth):
1. Do not use SMS 2FA when possible (use 2FA apps or physical token)
2. Use SimpleX Chat, Session app or less ideal but better than nothing Signal Messenger for voice calls and messages
3. If you are a journalists or person of interest in a totalitarian country, use a hotspot and turn off the mobile function, use your mobile in Airplane mode with Wi-Fi on connected to the Hotspot.
Counter measures of tomorrow:
. - **AI** replacing the human factor in charge of sensitive information that can be sold by corrupt greedy employees.

Yes, a private DNS is useful in some circumstances, but bear in mind, it is another vector of data sharing, you need to trust that DNS service, they have your IP (one more party) and the log of the sites you are visiting, after all, that is their function, to resolve the sites addresses. Proton VPN, Mullvad and IVPN all have their own secure DNS which filters ads and malware, by using those VPNs with their default DNS setting you have more cyber sec, removing one vector of data sharing

Problem is, going that way you end up in censor land, and therefore unappealing and hated.
If you use paid relays, little to no use, it become a tiny Eco chamber.

The European Commission president (Ursula von der Leyen) is the epitome of hypocrisy.
The lack of moral of this individual and all her supporters in the #EU is unreal.
Questioning and demonizing the peace efforts of the president of Hungary Victor Organ is, without questions, the most disgusting act a diplomat or politician can do in a time of war, when thousands of children are losing their fathers, were millions are being displaced, when children and woman and elders are suffering every day in the current multiple war zones.
War may be justified by some, defining themselves as victims or defending themselves from an existential threat. But diplomacy should never be avoided.
Shame on the #EU and any other country avoiding diplomacy, embarrassing and disgusting.

True, although caution is advised, the human-readable address comes with less privacy, since a DNS service is being used their IP addresses may be exposed, if they are activists and in potential danger they should understand the risk

2024-07-11 18:52:05

Very good question
Although, history repeats and rhymes... and apparently does it often... therefore...
Bitcoin is becoming a good example, most development around bitcoin is about monetization, utility, but not security, nor making it censorship resistance.
Being in the know since 2010, not using it to transact since it is not built with sufficient privacy by default to achieve that, devs around fighting each other and not inspiring trust doesn't help neither.
Sometimes I wonder WTF Satoshi was thinking making such a wonderful mathematical marvel with no privacy to transact ...
As a store of value is the kind of the land, unbeaten, as a currency to transact, to pay for good and services, nah, pass, much better privacy options out there.

The lies and deception the governments of USA and EU constantly push to their citizens at all levels is at all time high.
The effect over people that we believe are intelligent and intellectuals is quite notable.
Hearing podcasts of these people calling out other countries governments as authoritarian or dictatorships when I guarantee that they never have been in those countries, they are just repeating the lies and deceptions their government keep pushing to them. The irony, they live in a country where tyrants are in power and every day their freedoms are cut, like the frog in boiling water they compensate and believe all is fine, theybaee the ones in a dictatorship not realizing it.
In some of those countries they call tyrannical regimes with dictators, if you go visit you will find happy people, free to do as they please, #Bitcoin and other crypto is traded and mined tax free! The health system works and is free, paid by the state with the taxes so it is the education. Public transport and infrastructure are maintained and working great. So the government is not only is doing its job, but doing it well, I wish we have that level of efficiency.
Bottom line, no tyranny, state and private money are mixed but marginally, the same president for many years is not a reason to believe is a dictator, as in France, a president, if doing a good job, can be reelected multiple periods, which is efficient, if you run a company and the CEO is doing a good job you don't change him/her every 4 years just because that is better for democracy, it is not, it is better for corruption and the interests of the donors that want a different puppet in the chair working for them instead of the people.

Perhaps I am wrong, but I take the current situation with the high fees in the mempool as a good thing for few reasons:
1. More understanding that there are bad actors paid or with their own agendas that wants to hurt #Bitcoin
2. Realization that staying in Layer 1 is not an option running a business model that relays on #Bitcoin for retailing to the masses
3. Understanding that upgrading your business model to support LN⚡ is a must
4. More development is required to make the LN⚡more robust and the channels bigger, $300 to $400 won't cut it for B2B
5. New solutions are required in Layer 2, but they need to be decentralized or they will not take off. Competition is key for innovation, LN⚡is alone eating all the cake and therefore with little pressure to push forward, Michael Saylor is doing the ecosystem a service protecting his massive investment, in my opinion, he gets it and works on what is most required

#USA incompetent leaders, as any brainless idiotic bully will do, threatens #Uganda with economic "repercussions" (sanctions) if they pass their new proposed law criminalizing LGBT+...
First of all, if you are not Ugandan, what their lawmakers do with their countries is their responsibility and problem, their citizens need to deal with it for good or bad as any other country should do.... Independently if we like it or not.
The attitude of USA thinking they can rule the world is just sad, but the worst part is that they do it ,as any other bully, only to the small countries , Why they don't do the same to #Qatar or #SaudiArabia? Is LGBT+ legal in those What about Egypt or Morocco?
it is unbelievable that USA became a laughing stock so rapidly, and to fight a country that can flight back they hide behind another country and need their thugs buddies to help out...

Most new TV shows are so bad that it is painful to watch them, fortunately for us we have for a while now, the possibility to stream quality TV shows from the past for entertainment if needed, nice to have friends from the 80s recommending these show, some of them so good it is hard not to binge watch,

In my opinion, paid relays are gate keepers, if you are advocating them, you are not understanding what this tech is about, go to twitter.
And if you believe that is the only way this platform is going to succeed... I will say you not only don't get it, you are part of the problem. As I run my own node, I run my own relay, which will evolve in features allowing me to add filters among other perks. The most people run relays, the more decentralized and censor resistance #NOSTR will be
As we educate the masses on "not your keys, not your coins", we should educate them as well on "not your relay, not your data, no freedom of speech"
Learn more about relays, and I suggest you stay away from paid relays as a filthy virus working slowly to penetrate the community and control it, by censoring what the "relays owners" believe you should read, watch and believe. As Twitter is doing right now.
Soon, as with PiHole, there will be community generated and updated filter list that we will be able to implement in our own relays and as well in the front apps itself as features
Clearly, few greedy elements of the community plus few bad apples will try to monetize big on the protocol instead to push for decentralization and user control, in my opinion, they are the enemy within
Since you got here, it means you care about the subject, so few perks for you:

Finding people that post good content is not an easy task, most known figures and "influencers" post mainly non sense or uninteresting information most of the time, yet, they have many followers due to the fact that "they are known"
Nostr is a fresh start, I follow few of those so called "influencers",butt I keep cutting them down to the ones that add value , I take some time every day as well looking for those key people out there, intelligent, critical thinkers that add value to my day to day and follow them
Not your Private Relay, not your Posts!

Running your private Relay in NOSTR isimportant, think of it as running your own #Bitcoin node,

Interesting, although, Wouldn't that make your comments an agreeably group of followers removing the ones that disagree and question your posts critically?
IMO it will require the discipline of a bot, removing your subjectivity completely is not humanly possible
Perhaps you will achieve it, will interesting to watch how it evolves

Avoid censorship and profiling, use public relays and use your own, if you are running a node and you have LN channels configured, for sure you are savvy enough to run your own relay and add any filters you want
And after that, if you keep using 18 relays you will not notice any difference, you need to delete all the relays and use only the ones you configured yourself
BTW, thanks for your content, much appreciated!

Consumer prices in France jumped by a euro-era record 7.2% from a year ago in February as food and services costs increased. Spain saw a 6.1% advance. Analysts had estimated price gains would remain unchanged at 7% in France and slow in Spain.

Incompetent leaders in the EU and unelected officials in Brussels are causing a massive negative impact to the Europeans which will last for generations to come

TV shows nowadays are such a disappointment, most of them political or ideological agendas add to that virtual signaling and it is nauseating
Watching old TV shows is refreshing, I am positively surprised to find myself enjoying House MD again, hell, so many great old TV shows !
If more people do the same it will send a strong message to the industry, one that says, you change and stop being mediocre or you will go out of business
