This is why we build protocols, not platforms. SimpleXChat wanted a platform the company can control since day 0. The more they developed, the clearer it got that the game wasn't privacy, but control. They were all the rage when we were developing NIP-17. Many, many people told us to just use their system instead of building our protocol. It looks silly now, but I am glad we didn't follow their way doing business. View quoted note →

My wife is confused: If Milei is such a libertarian, why does he need a $20 billion dollar government handout? 😅

I should use this more often

Is it time to delete NIP 04 from Amethyst? You won't be able to see any of the past DMs.
