Restoring my personal Nostr relay.

Social democracy is a sheep club lead by wolves

#monero suffered a nearly successful 51% attack. While it didn't quite complete the attack, it came close, proving its vulnerability. The reason a coin like XMR can be attacked is that there are few interested miners. This lack of interest stems from the coin's low price: there's barely any mining profit. Large groups of external miners can easily attack these low-value coins, not just Monero. Those making this criticism miss an important point. When a system is attacked, you have to invest resources and money into the attack. When the cost of the attack is higher than the amount attacked, it's not done. In fact, many modern security systems are based on this principle, even national defenses: defenses are set up that make the cost of the attack so high that it's not worth it. The conclusion is that it doesn't make sense to attack coins with low mining value, for that very reason: they're worthless. The ratio of mining cost to mining profit is very low. So no one will attack these coins. The qubic.org group was the one who attacked Monero. But they didn't do it to profit from dominating the network. They did it to prove it was possible: that was their incentive; one that others won't have because it's already been proven.

I’m developing a grok like bot here on Nostr. Just mention @snark , and ask or tell something.

Hey, @npub1jcxy...v4fw Mira el bot que me he montado @snark Saluda a Manuel

Hello @snark

Excited to share my new CLI tool: nostr-publish! Written in Rust, it lets you easily publish Markdown articles as long-form Nostr events (NIP-23) with metadata like title, image, & summary. Also supports deleting them. Check it out & star the repo:

#Nostr #Rust #OpenSource Key features: - async relay connections via TOML config - secure key handling via env var. Install via Cargo, set your Nostr sec key, and publish/delete with simple commands. Feedback welcome—let's build on Nostr! #Decentralized #CLI

This project adds between client and server an MCP resolver. (compatible with the OpenAI API) Very convenient to avoid having to add a tools resolution to your client code.

I learned this process architecture in a huge warehouse management system. It was really resilient. I wonder if I can use it in smaller projects.

Money is the key to our freedom. When you want to provide a service to society, you also need your customers to pay you money so you can continue. If you provide good service, you are rewarded. If you defraud, cheat, or fail to deliver, the market turns its back on you. But... When you receive money periodically or in large amounts, banks trigger warnings to tax collection agencies. Then you are investigated: they make you confess the source of that money, threatening to accuse you of money laundering and other crimes. And... When you confess that you have set up a business, they apply all kinds of taxes; and worse, all kinds of regulations that they themselves have determined to be correct. So... By stopping using state money, we will achieve the freedom we crave.

Every regulation exceeding 300 words is another granite block on our backs, forming the bureaucratic-state pyramid.

I am considering BTC to XMR swapping in the next months, or in next year.

If you need an Speech-To-Text and Text-To-Speech in your iOS app, this framework is all you need. It includes hardware echo cancelation. #opensorce

I had been payed a little zaps for a source code repository that I shared in Nostr. It’s no money, but it’s a powerful information from future.
