Let there be dark. the results are not that convincing since the accuracy is 64%, and when percision is 99% the accuracy is 46%, yet it can still be improved. As I've argued before, the attack surface is the network itself, no matter what you try to hide, the bots can eventually get good to hunt you down, but if in the first place all that is from you was anon and unreachable all it can say is 'userX is userY'. I firmly believe it is no longer worth it to ignore this, and I will go dark until I emerge a new entity over reticulum. Monero's issues actually go back to the network stack it was built on, nodes are known to each other by IP addresses and users can only publish their transactions using their IP addresses, but If there was No IP addresses in the first place Spy nodes will become worthless to run, because there is no physical reference for a cryptographic address as provided in reticulum style except its reachablity by its peers. I came here for a short period, you've got an amazing place here nostriches, but the internet is not a safe place and we are facing a crackdown on it's original pillars anonymity, let them have it and get yourself an encrypted address. I honestly advice my brothers and sisters in freedom and humanity to embrace the darkness and the encrypted forests against the meaningless desert of surveillance. View quoted note →

How would you defend against such an attack? View quoted note →

We (or maybe just me :) ) need a bridge between nostr and other social networks, this can be done using rss or something, the idea is you can follow others from other platforms and still interact with their content but not reach them. I'm currently using nitter's capability to provide a feed using multiple usernames in the url, it would be nice to have that in my client and have my fellow nosters share their their ideas about said topics
