Code is speech Almost 30 years ago, a judge ruled in favor of Bernstein (a mathematician at the University of California), who wanted to publish an encryption algorithm he developed, the source code, and the paper. We still celebrate this won battle.

EFF at 25: Remembering the Case that Established Code as Speech

One of EFF's first major legal victories was Bernstein v. Department of Justice, a landmark case that resulted in establishing code as speech ...

Almost a year ago, I proposed a Nostr NIP to create a large liquidity pool for Bitcoin P2P orders on Nostr. The idea is to have a standard (or an attempt at one) that, as more platforms implement it, allows end users to have a single place to search for the order that best suits them and, from there, navigate to the platform where the chosen order is located. So far, this standard has been implemented by @lnp2pBot , @Mostro and @Robosats A couple of months ago, @KoalaSat created this very useful P2P dashboard where we can see all the orders that meet this standard.

I believe the more P2P orders published here, the greater the benefit for users and the platforms themselves, as end users are directed to the option that best fits their needs. For curious minds here the NIP

We constantly complain that politics is dirty, and no one wants to get involved because they would end up being part of that swamp. Politics isn't dirty, but politicians are. We should start working on ELIMINATING politicians from politics. How do we eliminate them? By creating tools so that citizens can exercise politics securely, privately, and secretly. I've been working on a system to give people the real ability to actively participate in the decisions that affect their lives and communities. For these types of tools to be truly useful, they have to be open source, but that's not enough. They must be auditable at runtime. This can be done with cryptography techniques and using #Nostr as a data transport layer. For all of the above, I've been working on #Criptocracia, a simple tool that will allow citizens to vote securely, privately, and secretly. Criptocracia is a proof of concept that we will continue to test, adjust, and improve. Contributions and feedback are very welcome 🥲 More info 👇
