About finding my muse: alcohol or exercise?

And this is #Switzerland when they‘re drinking #brauzeugen ale. Far away from the seas and high up in the mountains. image

Ah, much better #brauzeugen Kölsch. Not so foamy. image

Why are we all so concerned with securing our one-and-only nsec? Wouldn’t it be healthier for nostr if we could easily burn them and migrate to the next one? Key migration should be as easily possible as: “Hey, I’m Joe, Fred lost his phone, this is his new number.” Everyone can ask themselves then: do I trust Joe. How to set this up technically may be challenging assuming there’s no hard concept of absolute time in nostr which allows for the statement “key burned after”. But intuitively I feel there must be a pragmatic middle path with relative time as in “signed and referenced by”. We could make a DAG putting notes into timely relation to each other and drop out cheaters. A bit like proof-of-stake with social media: @Laeserin could for example make a statement now “schmijos seems legit and every interaction with him so far seems legit”. Others could judge this and say: ok, there this side of the DAG which seems non-meddled-with. A bit like a continuous key-signing party which doesn’t bring good security, but some security. This is a concept of time. And as soon as @Laeserin detects weird interactions, she makes a statement: “nah, doesn’t seem right, he’s been hacked”. It would be no different than me writing to a friend on facebook: “hey your account makes weird things, I consider it has been hacked” I’m aware this idea is neither very cypherpunk nor Bitcoiner-proof but on nostr we could maybe live with a very laax term of time? We’re still free to assume the worst anytime and can require perfect security when needed. But if I want to call Fred I’m probably grateful that Joe told me where to reach him.

Service idea: custodial nostr aggregator for mobile phone numbers. So that you can send a note/dm to any phone number. Attach some sats to a custodian-generated npub tagged with a phone number and the custodian sends an SMS to the receiving phone number.

@jb55 I think I’d pay some sats for each image I want to upload on Damus. Can you sell me a Premium storage for attachments, paid with sats automatically per image?
