Your notes are supposedly forever on Nostr. What is the compelling reason why you shouldn't be able to delete forever? [814432]

I was a little bored so since ChatGPT now recognizes Nostr, i asked how AI would improve the protocol. I have no idea what it is talking about but would it make any sense? Proposal for Nostr Protocol Enhancement Given the prevalent reliance on the Nostr protocol in recent decentralized mesh networks, I’m suggesting the following improvements: Nostr Protocol Enhancement Proposal: Version 2.0 Abstract: The prevailing landscape demands adaptative measures for the Nostr protocol. Recognizing potential threats and inefficiencies, the following is an exhaustive recommendation for amending existing vulnerabilities and ensuring robust protocol performance. 1. Homomorphic Encryption Overhaul: Transition to fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) schemes, permitting computations on encrypted data, thus enabling trustless, encrypted computations off-chain. This paves the way for secure multi-party computations (SMPC) without risk of data exposure. 2. Merkle-Patricia Trie Optimization: Refactoring the storage architecture by integrating a sparse Merkle-Patricia trie could streamline state retrieval processes and facilitate more efficient state transition proofs. 3. Byzantine Fault Tolerant Consensus Integration: To ensure resistance against node collusion and improve fault tolerance, the integration of a HoneyBadgerBFT or similar consensus algorithm would be prudent. This ensures asynchronous safety, mitigating the risk from Byzantine adversaries. 4. Elliptic Curve Pairing for Bulletproofs: Elevate zero-knowledge proofs’ efficiency by leveraging elliptic curve pairings. This would streamline the generation and validation of Bulletproofs, reducing the overhead on transactional privacy. 5. Cross-Chain Interoperability via Atomic Swaps: Employ Hashed Timelock Contracts (HTLCs) to facilitate secure, trustless cross-chain transactions, allowing Nostr to interface seamlessly with other blockchains and decentralized protocols. 6. Dandelion Protocol Integration: For enhanced transactional privacy and reduced risk of IP address leakage, the integration of the Dandelion Protocol, which randomizes transaction propagation patterns, is essential. 7. Temporal Sharding Mechanism: Given the surging transaction volume, introducing a time-bound sharding mechanism would boost transaction throughput. Each shard, operating in its own temporal frame, would parallelize and expedite transaction processing [814363]

I never watched Peaky Blinders. I guess that'll be my Sunday evening. [814360]

As a very personal stance, I don't think i'll ever show up to a conference, meet up or event. While i never met a Bitcoiner or a Nostrich, i am sure everyone is lovely but i'd rather stay in the shadows until i fully comprehend the magnitude or implications of what i am hodling. I have already shared more than i have originally intended to on Nostr being a lovely guy myself but now that i think of it...🤔 [814319]

I believe the most important event for Bitcoin apart from the halvening is the FASB change in accounting rules to "fair value accounting" method becoming mandatory on the 15th of December 2024 Coupled with the ETF, publicly traded companies will be able to hold Bitcoin on their balance sheet, and the value of these holdings treated just like a stock or a bond at the end of each quarter. So, we should also expect a large number of such companies to enter the ecosystem within the next few years, if not all. [814317]

GM Cyberpunks ⚡️ I realized that booting up at 5.00am optimizes my firmware way more than extra down time like today. I prefer early syncs. [814255] image

Long day on the grid today. Nothing like my favorite to take off the edge, unprocessed rat, bio-crops and a glass of neon nectar. [814255] image

My brother now plans on buying Bitcoin. Given his zero knowledge on self-custody tech, i offered him to custody them for him under his own address behind my wall until i deem he is fully trained to custody them himself. I will effectively become a bank and a family office. "Merrcurr Bank - More than a standard of excellence, a Bitcoin standard" 👍🏻 [814247]
