Increment proof of work, every time you use the app, you do some work for yourself and for the people you are talking to This PoW is a bearer token that can, somewhat, act as a proxy for both being an Agent and having friends (that tried to find PoW for you). Finally, you can use Bitcoin to prove that you had that key for long time, which spammers can't do. All of these are tricks I am using in #mns to allow random short name, but they can work with Npubs as well I think. View quoted note →

I always wanted to have sovereign domain names with the UX of phone numbers; - can I have your domain? - sure; it is O4DK, SFBQ! *Writes*: o4dk_sfbq.mns.alt #WIP (unless I discover a fatal design flaw) #MNS

All bitcoin scalability solution fo and will require reliable cloud hosting that doesn't rug pull you, because in order for digital money to scale, seed wallets will have to be understood as a privilege for the very rich, for everyone else, money will be an encrypted file, and data integrity is going to be non negotiable.

Death to the IDF is a mild thing to say.

The similarity between zionism and german national socialism is scary, but we have to face scary things sometimes.

Nationalism can take different forms, from benign to pathological to dangerous & suicidal. Zionism suffers from the same defect as German Natio...

I think I found a promising post quantum alternative to Ed25519, not yet accepted by NIST, but even if I Yolo it and use it to create a post quantum version of #pkarr I will have to convince people to bootstrap a DHT or convince Mainline users to support that BEP. Not easy. Still, I think we should start working on this soon.

It is going to be so funny when the conclusion of Democracy vs. Authoritarianism is that democracies can't stop engaging in extremely unpopular unnecessary wars on the othet side of thr planet, while the supreme leaders of centralised authoritarian stated seem to bend backwards to avoid wars even with their direct neighbours until they are cornered by internal politics or foreign existential threats.
