I've become tired enough of all of this that I went ahead to explore how bitcoin transactions are handled (code), and reached to a current understand where my initial thoughts, from years ago and to recently, on how all of this is ridiculous (from op_return to ordinals/other with witness), and feel like, at the risk of sounding stupid on virtual camera, I'll make a video about it. Gist of the video would basically be: "Bitcoin is about money. Why has it become more than that and is expanding on it?"

Was replying to someone, then the idea that Nostr is a "Hydra of Freedom" popped in my head x3

Btw, assuming all's good with this, we can have what people are used to: username and password login, along with a forget/change-password Here's the flow: View quoted note →

DNN: Decentralized Naming Network A Bitcoin-anchored naming system for nostr and the web. - Doesn't bloat Bitcoin (no data added to it). - Not a blockchain / there's no shitcoin. - Permissionless. - Censorship-resistant. - Scalable. - Cheap / no recurring payment. - Have whatever name you want and change it whenever you want. - Human-readable & human-memorable ID/address/true-name. - A lot of secondary-effect solutions and benefits that come out of this. Here's the slave ICANN site for it:

(^ links to the readme to read about it, along with the NIP-DN and node policy) Tell me what you think. This is a draft and might not go anywhere. Decided to share it with the public early, even before talks with people. Ask any questions or share any concerns or criticisms you may have. If this turns out to be a proper solution, then I'd continue developing it, assuming I'd have funds for it, or if devs come along to help develop it.

First talk concluded and marks the first "I'm not delusional" check x3 Another talk with more specialized people should be happening soon for a stronger check. Also, I realized that this solves nostr relay discovery between users and clients. Meaning no more continuous extensive relay management, and no need for outbox model (if I'm understanding everything right). View quoted note →

Played Arc Raiders. I like it. But I'll only get it once/if it'll have a pve only mode. Also, similar to The Finals, ugly models.

The more I'm refining the idea, writing the protocol readme, the NIP and its kinds, the **** policy, the more I'm getting confident in it actually being "it" / the actual end solution (or rather the best solution so far) that the might actually get off the ground and reach mass adoption. I'm hoping I can finish the presentation for it to show other close devs this upcoming working week and get their opinion of it / confirm I'm not delusional with it, and if not and there would be what seems like hard blockers, I'd want to bounce with a couple of more people then share it publicly (I'll still share it publicly even if it ended up being a bad idea, so that others might learn and perhaps figure out a more appropriate solution).

TwiX will soon partially dox its users. Fun times x3

I... might have figured out a potential solution to the ICANN issue, one that utilizies Bitcoin (without putting any data in it, it's blocks/transactions/nodes) and nostr, and without needing to have a new blockchain (no pow or pos or currency even). I'll digest it a bit more, then circle the idea with others, then if it passes that I'll open up the discussion publicly. It's not a perfect solution, but a shit ton better than a raw public address. I've been thinking about this for years, and Nomen was close but considering my realization of the core 30 issue and me being a bitcoin monetary purest, and i guess others pointed out a scalability issue with it, it didn't pan out, so I really hope what I thought of is a good idea, so we can be rid of ICANN and solve a bunch of other issues because of it (like having an email address you own and so on).

Played the demo. Getting it. Not because of the gameplay, but because of everything else. Hell Maiden
