Trump admin plans to build their version of skynet within the lone-star state 👀 https://www.forbes.com/sites/dereksaul/2025/01/21/oracle-stock-surges-ahead-of-500-billion-stargate-openai-trump-deal

Fuggg this nostr social media thing is popping off. I need to finish frostr so folks don't get one-shotted by a compromised npub. Had a bunch of personal stuff come up, plus my day job takes precedence, so work on open source projects has been slow. And y'all haven't even begun talking about quantum-resistant npubs and npub hashing. Fugggg we are not ready to take on the world's social media refugees. Posting to hold myself accountable. Have to get back to work on this stuff ASAP.

Austin is so beautiful.

gm nostr A friend talked me into re-installing Instagram. Everything about it sucked. The app is a dumpster fire. I'd rather just post stuff here anonymously. Days go by, passion project nostr apps are getting better, their fiat counterpart get worse and worse. Future is bright!

gm nostr created a new digital being today coffee shop -> lightning wallet -> thebitcoincompany visa -> tello sim card -> gmail account become ungovernable

gm and Merry Christmas ya filty nostriches

it takes a special kind of retard to zap your own posts please, allow me to introduce myself

gm, last bagel for the trip

This is my npub. There are many like it, but this one is mine. My npub is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it, as I must master my life. Without me my npub owns nothing. Without my npub, I own nothing. I must zap with my npub's stack. I must zap faster than the nostrich who is trying to zap me. I must zap him before he zaps me. I will. Before Casarin I swear this creed. My npub and myself are the defenders of my digital sovereignty. We are the masters of our stacked sats. We are the saviors of the global feed. So be it... until there are no un-zapped npubs left but bots. Amen.

Bucket is amazing, nostr is amazing. Had to steal it and make my own version.

Had to finish a side-quest along the road to completing Frostr.

GitHub

GitHub - cmdruid/nostr-p2p: Build your own peer-to-peer messaging protocol, transmitted by relays.

Build your own peer-to-peer messaging protocol, transmitted by relays. - cmdruid/nostr-p2p

This will be used to link the signing devices together, and have them coordinate via p2p. Next step: Finish bifrost. Roadmap: Re-launch Igloo and frost2x apps with updated bifrost library.

step 1: build a multiplatform FROST library for the web:

GitHub

GitHub - cmdruid/frost: Flexible, round-optimized threshold signature library for BIP340 taproot.

step 2: hack together a remote signer and nos2x fork as proof of concept (and win a hackathon):

X (formerly Twitter)

⚡Congrats to the Frostr team for winning the @tabconf hackathon✌️ 🥇 Best Hack Overall: Frostr

step 3: create a stupid simple multi-device signing protocol with key rotation that supports existing npubs (WIP): https://github.com/FROSTR-ORG/docs step 4: make self-custody of your identity great again

Had the pleasure of being a "whale" this year at BTC24. The wine and dine experience was nice, and there was a bunch of celebrities plus high net worth folks walking around. We had a live feed of the main stage, so you could watch speakers from the comfort of the deep. The room was packed when RFK was speaking on the main stage, with clapping and cheering at certain points in his speech. When RFK made the point that Bitcoin is about more than just "number go up", the room was dead silent. Just thought that was interesting.

I appreciate Elon reversing the globo-homo trend to censor everything on twitter. But the content feeds are no longer the same. I don't feel in control of my own feed. I think AI is dead-end for curating content. I *want* a dumb algorithm that I can wrap my head around. I don't want a black-box neural network that I can only make polite suggestions to. Humans like game loops, you don't have to hide them. Just give us the controls and let us run the loops the way that we want. Game companies know this. They give users what they want. Yet social media companies are taking these controls away? Maybe because on social media, you are a product, not a user. Nostr is in a great place where the users have control over their own loops. And developers are free to design new loops for us to try out and better control our content feeds. Legacy social media is for the bots and the birds.

I have mastered FROST with taproot. AMA.

In a few days, I'll be making the case that the nostr relay network is a distributed consensus system for the delivery and receipt of cryptographic messages. I believe this consensus system may be far more valuable than the social-media use case. It solves a few important problems in cryptography protocols, and is far more efficient than publishing data to the blockchain.

Oh man, coracle is amazing. See you later primal.
