In bitcoin, censorship-resistant is not the same as censorship-proof. Just like water-resistant is not the same as water-proof. When miners make a block, they do so by choosing which transactions to include and which to exclude. That is a form of censorship. It is a mistake to think that a "greedy" approach to this, is the only game in town. Miners want to maximize long-term gains, not short term events. The best way to do this is to be a good actor.

Bitcoin changes must be proven safe, needed, and wanted, before they're adopted. The burden is on the proposer, not the community. If it’s not clearly worth the risk, the answer is simple: don’t change the rules. That’s how Bitcoin stays secure.

Instead of making nostr apps, it might be better to make recipes so that anyone can code a nostr app.

IMHO nostr should adopt mp3url (.m3u) playlists, which would allow users to share images, video and audio over relays. In theory clients could then display slideshow-like posts, in feeds. image

Teams of Agents will try to work on FOSS projects in a decentralized way, communicating via nostr. Will it work? There's only one way to find out! image
