I see connections. My hand is bigger than my mouth. I act accordingly. We are all winning. SimpleX Chat: https://smp10.simplex.im/a#6wfdxmiqUDxda-hUPcHAhxcUycg59v8ndQJpZJv6LRs Send me SimpleX Chat messages instead of nostr DM's.

When someone quits their job (no matter what the reason), the first thing I do is to congratulate them on the decision. Almost everyone is stunned and surprised by this. Why do I do this? Because I see such a move as growing as a human being. I always feel that being sad about someone leaving their job (even if it's a coworker you honor) means, in some sense, keeping them glued to what you think they are capable of. Letting them go by enjoying their decision is a bright statement and supports them to grow into an even better version of themselves. View quoted note โ†’

tl;dr: Thank you nostr devs & PV ๐Ÿซ‚! I managed to remove my stale pinned notes from my profile. All the notes were back from 2023. I found out that I was using the legacy client Nostros v0.3.0.9-alpha by @KoalaSat back then. He implemented NIP-51 bookmarks in a way that they were stored as kind 10001 events, which was later changed to pinned messages. Unfortunately, Amethyst by @Vitor Pamplona didn't show me the option to unpin those stale notes; however, they were still displayed on my profile in Amethyst. Downloading Nostros again and unbookmarking the notes threw me back in time to the beginning of Nostr in 2023. Wow, what has changed since then! Unbelievable. I'm grateful to all the devs who keep pushing Nostr. Thank you & PV ๐Ÿซ‚!

probably nothing: "3. __Nvidia and Wall Street groups discuss $500 billion AI funding package__ -- Apollo, Blackstone, Brookfield, Goldman Sachs, KKR and BlackRock's infrastructure arm are in talks with Nvidia on financing chips, power generation and data centers, the Financial Times reported. -- A package of that scale would shift more AI expansion onto private-credit and infrastructure balance sheets, concentrating both returns and leverage risk among a small group of capital providers."

__Spark's cascading exit problem__ Note: I'm publishing this as a technical discussion. Appreciate correction if needed. This is premature analysis based on protocol specs alone, no tests or live data to validate the mechanics yet. A previous leaf owner broadcasts their stale exit tx at zero cost. Spark Operators must counter-broadcast the current owner's exit to defend, which spends the root UTXO on-chain, confirming the branch transaction and all its outputs. If a tree has N leaves (say N=50 for a moderately sized tree), all N holders must broadcast their own leaf-level exit transactions to claim funds from the now-confirmed branch outputs. That's N on-chain transactions from one free broadcast. The attacked user bears the highest fee burden. Their exit chain includes the heavy branch transaction (N outputs) plus possible CPFP to beat the timelock deadline. Siblings each pay for just one small leaf transaction. Not catastrophic. Funds are recoverable but 1 free broadcast forces N users on-chain, with the attacked user footing the largest bill. No penalty mechanism for the attacker. The coupling is architectural: one root backs many leaves, one exit kills the tree. #Bitcoin #Spark #Layer2 #asknostr #plebchain
