Keonne and Bill wrote free software that allowed free individuals to privately transact. They’re now in jail. Put there by people more concerned with getting a win on their record so they could move up the political ladder than about the truth or the law. Lawfare. That’s what it’s called. Where they don’t have to prove you broke the law. They just have to bleed you until you’re broke. Keonne and Bill wrote free software for free individuals. There were no victims. There was no crime.

I feel like Codex is getting better every day while Claude Code gets worse...

Just got Sparrow Wallet phishing email from support@sparrow-update.com (definitely not the right URL, asking about definitely not real things). Stay safe out there folks.

Just use OTR... Just use Signal protocol... Just use a server... The problem of unstoppable, private group messaging is SO much bigger and SO much harder than anyone gives it credit for (including me). There are many shortcuts. There are many half-baked solutions that might get short-term adoption. Building the thing right has pushed me to the limit many times over the last few years. And yet, I'm still here. Still learning, still building. I'm not going to give up, and I'm not going to cut corners.

GM 🌞 Who is looking at post-quantum strategies for nostr? I want to talk.

Exactly! So let us raise them and stop interfering! 🤬

Double aurora. Wow.

GM 🌞 Feels heavy out there today fam.

GM 🌞 So pumped. There are so many amazing things coming up in the next few months...

It really pisses me off that agents ruined en/em dashes. I used them all the time before LLMs came along and now, I'm having to train myself to stop so that people who don't know grammar won't think I'm AI slop.

Genuinely curious what everyone's thoughts are on product analytics in the apps you use. I think most teams building in the nostr/bitcoin/freedom-tech space are a hard-no without thinking about how you could do them well (i.e. privacy-first, opt-in only, etc). A lot of people complain about the quality of Nostr apps but, the truth is, it's nearly impossible to build a high-quality product that delivers real value without having at least some idea of how folks are using a thing. Trolls, gtfo. I'm only interested in thoughtful or thought-provoking responses.

GM 🌞 An amazing use for LLMs is to give them github URLs for open source projects you're unsure about the quality on (or whether they might be unsafe) and ask them to do a full review. GPT 5.4 on extra high is a phenomenal reviewer.

Quietly released Nostr Doctor yesterday evening. The hope is that this simple tool will help everyone to do the basic housekeeping on their accounts and data to make sure they continue to have great experiences using nostr as the protocol and clients change over time. Would love to hear your feedback if you think there are other tools we should add to it. Huge thanks to @hzrd149 for doing all the heavy lifting!

GM 🌞 I've been dying to play with Karpathy's autoresearch tooling so this morning I installed Pi and the autoresearch plugin and put it to work on optimizing roundtrip encoding time on my already tweaked fork of @jb55 's notepack binary note encoding... It found a ~28% improvement in ~1 hour of experimenting. 🤯

Building high quality software on decentralized protocols is the hardest of hard modes. If you’re out there building on hard mode I want to follow you. Tell me about your project. 👇

Insane progress this week on @White Noise! Way more stable, more real-time, better crypto. I know I've been working on this for nearly 2 years, but I still have trouble believing that we've managed to build a fully E2EE messenger with forward secrecy, post-compromise security, and FULL interoperability between completely different apps and clients. 🤯 So much more in the works too. 🔥 Download the app on @Zapstore now and TestFlight very soon.
