The explicit investment thesis behind the mayor platforms was that by subsidizing its growth, it would undermine competition and eventually result in the capture of network-effect, at which point the masses of users would not have a viable alternative and could be fleeced for the return on investment. "Enshittification" was baked in from the start, and to a large extend the investment thesis was correct. Nevertheless its evil. I have no other word, its deliberate baiting into hazard, and they spend a lot of time and effort into making the bait outmost enticing, conciously. It was the plan to capture us; they have captured us; people finaly seem to feel they have been captured. Time to free ourselves. Nostr View quoted note →

What do the wise sages of Nostr think of the following terrible grugbrain idea: What if you create an ncryptsec and just put it in an event and on some relay somewhere. Then you could go to lets say a fresh amber install, fetch that event, decrypt it and just set up your new system while only needing a password. The hash of the password could be included in the same event as the ncryptsec, and then u could use that to query your ncryptsec-event. This allows you to sign the ncryptsec-event with some random throwaway keypair. This way it is not appearent who's ncryptsec is tied to. Other than 'what if the password is too weak' and 'QuAntUm' and 'how do you fix spam': why would this be a bad idea?

@miljan @primal Your codes dont work :( they were nice enough to let me try 3 times, but all error out.

@vinney...axkl why dont you use musig and simplefy the entire thing to just single events (outside of the draft events perhaps). Current flow had a bunch of holes simply because at no point is there actually an atomic mutual action, which would be the case with musig, and it would still allow for an arbitrary number of participants. I.e. leverage the crypto/schnorr
