Do you remember Bitconnect? Well, when I see politicians talking about bitcoin without a clue of what that is, with purely demagogic speeches targeting purely gut feelings and not rationality...meh...they kind of remind me this guy

Serious technical questions about #cashu #cashu enhances privacy at the custodian level by leveraging ecash and blinded signatures, I got it and the inner worling ofnthe mechanism. If I connect to a mint from the same IP (being that with VPN or my true IP) isn't that ruining my privacy that I supposedly gained with the cryptographic tweaking? And if I use tor to connect to a mint, am I supposed to create a new tor connection every time in order to break any correlation and link between token requests? Since creating a new tor connection for any interaction with the mint is a bit redundant and slow, could NWS somehow solve this issue? Is NWS a viable service for anonimizing the requests to mints? #asknostr #cashu #ecash #bitcoin #tech #privacy

Happy sunday y'all!! Weekly reminder that something can be false even if it's written down, can be deceptive even if it's spoken out. #Nostr is the most sincere and honest way to setup social interactions online, because it's neutral. Still, people can say false stuff, audios can be faked, photos can be manipulated. Don't believe to everything you see. Have a nice day 😉

Tried #keychat for few hours and it's working very very well, smooth experience and nice UI. I like the options given so far, like the choice of using Signal protocol or NIP4, although as of now Signal protocol is a no brainer because of better privacy So far I've realized a couple of things: 1) Paid relays are probably the future of #Nostr, if the protocol will gain the mass of users the hope 2) Using Nostr relays for messaging is a nice idea, particularly if the amount of relays will increase in the future (already tens out there), because of the neutral position of relays with regards to nodes, particularly Kind1 notes 3) In private messaging apps we're used to send also multimedia content, which is a bit more tricky to deal with if you aim at keeping the #Nostr protocol distributed enough 4) mobile texting today is made of apps that don't charge for the messages amount, so people are used to sent a gazillion messages of few words. The pay-for-message paradigm would completely change how we approach texting. Paid messages and relays help me realise how low is the profitability of LN routing, btw...few hours of messages and you wipe your monthly average revenue from routing XD

Can someone confirm that 8333.space mint is offline? #asknostr #keychat #cashu #mint
