Gotta support your local Bitcoiners #foodstr

Idea of the day: Nostr-powered alternative to Uber Eats One day, when #Bitcoin is the standard for payments, someone will build #foodstr. It will be an alternative to Uber Eats (for pickup only, as delivery wouldn't work), where you can pay with Lightning and order your food ahead of time. It will save restaurants from a 10% Uber Eats fee for pickup orders.

Income tax proposed in 1913 was insane This is preposterous

How do we scale Nostr? “Unpopular opinion: Nostr CAN'T scale to be what people want it to be. It's an all-to-all broadcast, which scales like O(n²). It will collapse in its own success. Nostr relays are like sidechains and altcoins. It's attempting to solve an O(n²) scaling problem by having multiple copies of the same thing. It leads to Balkanization where you can't see content from or message some people. Blockchains of blockchains were dumb and this is dumb in exactly the same way, and I can't believe all of you failed your algorithms classes.” - Bob McElrath So this begs the question, how does Nostr scale long term? Or do we simply expect 2 of 3 dominant relays in the long term? cc @fiatjaf @Destroyer of Notes @Derek Ross @AsaiToshiya @Vitor Pamplona @Sep
