I had a huge ignore list mainly consisting of various kinds of bots that I did not want in my global feed and yesterday when I tried adding another bot npub to the list, @amethyst gave an error saying "failed to decrypt NIP44 something..." , and, then, my ignore list got messed up with many of the included npubs being set free. @Vitor Pamplona is this a bug or is there a limit to the ignore list inclusion?

#XMR deserves a pump. Undervalued.

The stack of #XMR I bought 18 months back is now worth the same in fiat terms, and this is after I spent 1/2 of it during those 18 months.

After all the #bitcoin gnu hate, #monero bros are gnu cheerleading when the price of it is pumping.

Dear Nostr, While it has been a splendid experience hanging out with fellow plebs within the protocol walls, it's not so obvious anymore that it is heading in the right direction with all the circlejerking and influencer peddling that is going as of lately. I wish to see nostr developing in a more diverse and decentralized manner where everyone gets a piece of the freedom cake that we all wish upon each other.

The article is right to highlight risks from the growing use of custodial services, regulated endpoints, and infrastructure centralization, but it understates the persistent, robust ability for individuals to opt out and use #Bitcoin fully decentralized, censorship-resistant, and open-source as designed. The permissionless nature is not “allowed” — it persists as the network’s baseline, regardless of ongoing attempts to regulate, steer, or shape its use.

Is Bitcoin decentralized & secure or is it allowed to look that way

Bitcoin is permissionless in code but permissioned in practice by choke-points that governments and large intermediaries either directly control or...

Tonight, the Fifth of November, code crackles and the Alps smolder — somewhere between V’s mask and Guy Fawkes’ gunpowder, old empires tremble. Bonfires roar; rebellion smirks. In the shadows, someone whispers: "Salve ad Resistendum".

Seems like #privacy coins are catching a bid. Who could this be!? Dirty WS crooks on brick of turning privacy into a trend?

#Bitcoin whitepaper day: Satoshi flung open Pandora’s box, gifting us freedom tech and a new breed of digital rebellion. Today, we fire up nodes, run our servers, and spit in the eye of centralized control. Long live peer-to-peer chaos — decentralization is not a trend, it’s a revolution.

When it comes to online comms, networking and data transferring, the serverless path that these guys are pioneering seems the most promising. The mission is to provide with all the building blocks one needs to make unstoppable #P2P apps. #Keet is a beta app built to showcase what can be with these tools.
