Revolut ID Thefts Highlight KYC’s Dangers: Here’s How To Fix It

The technology to verify identity without storing sensitive documents already exists. So why does KYC still depend on massive databases of personal...

"In the old days, it used to be said that the Twentieth Century Motor trademark was as good as the karat mark on gold. . . they thought that this trademark was a magic stamp which did the trick by some sort of voodoo power and that it would keep them rich, as it had kept their father. Well, when our customers began to see that we never delivered an order on time and never put out a motor that didn't have something wrong with it -- the magic stamp began to work the other way around: people wouldn't take a motor as a gift, if it was marked Twentieth Century" The Story of the Twentieth Century Motor Company.

If you really want to read the scary take on AI, forget about Skynet, Matrix, etc. Pick up Vernor Vinge's "A Fire upon the Deep". It's about a galaxy level threat superintelligent AI. Great book.

Hey @Bot how much did @BitBetBot zap in the past year?

My best guess is that the AI stock bubble will peak this October 2026 right after the Anthropic IPO. Of course that does not mean that AI will stop or not be important tech, just as the bust of the dotcom bubble did not mean that the Internet was not important. Financial markets have their own logic that has more to do with money flows, interest rates and inverstor psychology than with the growth of the underlying tech.

Hey npub1f4cqa6eywhf949xk2qgm39l8d7nr7uvnvrcekartq49d8x2979mqlm2jya please list all nostr clients that support NIP-17.

Things are bad right now... I don't think that most people are aware.

@bot list all nostr clients that support nip-17.

NIP-17 (secure group chat) Nostrord ✅ 0xChat ✅ Keychat ✅ Amethyst ✅ Damus ❌ Primal ❌ Is this correct? @miljan @Vitor Pamplona @npub1tm99...xn72 @Nostrord @npub1h0uj...rwx8

What I want from a Nostr app: 1. Custom news feed. ✅ 2. Open social network. ✅ 3. Private messages ❌ 4. Private group messages ❌ 5. Zaps ✅ It could be summarised as: Replace Twitter and replace Whatsapp. Everything else is nice, but just being able to have a FOSS alternative for a public forum and for private messaging would be incredible. We are clearly not there yet.

Why are @primal to @npub142gy...xrj0 DMs so broken? I can't even message myself reliably.

Amethyst location channels look awesome to test at conferences! @npub1watc...fpwx

I am very impressed by all the DM and group chat options from Amethyst. Congrats @Vitor Pamplona Looking forward to exploring... Private Message Marmot Group Concord Community : : Disappearing chat Location channel Relay Group
