This is cool, but why would I want a social identity attached to my network access? Don't we want our transports to be as anonymous as possible? Maybe I misunderstand how this works, or what it's for... View article →

The OP_RETURN "debate" of the bitcoin "community" is an excellent demonstration for why X is an abysmal neutral ground as a public square.

Apparently, absolutely nobody wants to relay a zero-fee tx from my node. Where have all the plebs gone?

@fiatjaf Have you thought about NIP-23 feeds for publications instead of pubkeys? I.e. one could subscribe to a feed of a specific blog that multiple authors write using their own pubkeys. Most blogs in my RSS reader work like this, and I think it's crucial for NIP-23 to be as useful as it can be. The cool thing about Nostr feeds vs normal RSS feeds is that the content would be properly attributed to each author and can be gathered and rendered outside of a centralized blog/feed as well. I was thinking about creating a new kind for announcing a "publication" (i.e. blog, magazine, etc.), which holds metadata similar to a kind 0 profile (display name, avatar/icon, description, ...). The pubkey "founding" the "publication" would then add tags for authorized author pubkeys, so clients could verify that when a kind 30024 article is tagged with one or more publication IDs, it's not spam or impersonation. One problem with this (and with a system without time in general) is that when a founder would remove authors later on, it would appear as if they never wrote for a certain publication. But I'm not sure it's actually a problem in practice. What do you think? Maybe I'm thinking about this all wrong? Or maybe someone has solved this already?

"Spain has arrested one of its top police officers after €20m (£17m) was found hidden in the walls of his house, as part of an investigation into the country’s largest-ever cocaine bust. Óscar Sánchez Gil was until recently the head of the fraud and anti-money laundering division of Spain’s national police force in Madrid."
