Value is subjective; not objective like units of mass. Value is ordinal not cardinal; it can't be measured like a sheet of glass.

I don't think many realize (except many of those here) how meaningful it is when money is traded for goods. The great thing about a free market, capitalism, is that it provides a system to determine what, where and when goods and services are valued the most.

I recently made several simplifications to the draft NIP and implementation on key revocation and migration. I think it's very close! In particular, having a way for users to verify another user's profile either privately or publicly, should be very useful. If a profile ever becomes compromised, the user's profile name, image website, NIP-05 and other user metadata can all be "pinned" and remain uncompromised.

Could gift-wrapped DM requests have ecash as a means?

Interesting how a greater understanding of advanced mathematics has lead towards greater freedom in many other fields and in life. Pretty cool.

njump.me is useful to quickly lookup the JSON for an event.

This video with @Saifedean Ammous and @Ken Berry, MD has also been a huge help!

Nostr offers something no platform can, ownership. A compelling article on why that is so important for the "right to free speech” : https://mises.org/mises-wire/property-rights-and-human-rights

After a first round of implementation, I've updated a NIP for Key Migration and Revocation:

I've moved almost all applications to be installed via Obtainium instead of Aurora Store (Google Play) and have removed F-Driod (although many Obtainium apps pull from the repository still). Down from five installer apps to four, it's not much, but it's a step.

If you're setting up a private Nostr relay with strfry, you can use this small plugin to only provide write capabilities for your own pubkeys.

It uses the strfrui library that can do a lot more if that is needed.

@jb55 and @Vitor Pamplona is there any documentation or how private zaps are implemented in Damus and Amethyst?
