Can we objectively measure (point in time) relay filter effectiveness? We can by looking at the friction a Tx/usecase faces getting into a block. Filtering on datacarrier (preventing OP_RETURNs from exceeding 83 bytes) lives in the [pink box] Sharing this as a discussion point.

@Rusty Russell Hey Rusty. Just planting the seed that I'd love for you to make it to @TABConf 8 - Oct 12-15, 2026 ATL this year Oct 13-16. Happy to give you space to talk about GSR.

Is it possible to think that late-night shows in general are on their way out? Ratings are tough because of competing platforms, these shows are expensive to produce, and the FCC shouldn't be used as a political arm to censor speech, the FCC very likely overstepped here. AND There was a nonzero chance this was used as a convenient excuse to suspend a late-night host as a way to bring publicity and help promote the next person who would replace this host. Asking for a friend, because apparently whenever this is asked, the first thing that comes up are analogies comparing this supposedly "gross" question to something about Charlie Kirk's murder. Smh. We are so cooked in terms of being able to debate stuff.

New PR @HODL

@HODL proof of grip 141.6 on you now to beat my new PR.

Yo @DETERMINISTIC OPTIMISM 🌞 what's up my love

I'm working on the relaunch of my website and server backend, one thing I'm wondering if someone stumbles upon my game and wants to register with Nostr but doesn't have an account. Where should I point them?

Nostr - Notes and Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays

? I don't really want them to generate the keys on my website if I can help it because I want them to be responsible for not losing their nsec. Any ideas from what others have done?

@tunestr forgot to tell you, I won a tunestr hat at BBB.

Check this out @JackTheMimic Made some pretty cool art on @Satoshi Settlers

One of the most interesting talks at TABConf 6 this year. @npub1uh8v...9y4m Tadhe Dryja. goes over the: The Ethereumization of Bitcoin. "The reasons Bitcoiners don't like ETH no longer apply" @HODL make sure to update your notes.
