5th Ave NYC shut down to Palestine protests.

If terrorists had taken control of the World Trade Center, and it's estimated that 10 pct of the population of the building is terrorists (90 percent civilians) do you: A. "Turn it into a parking lot"- these people are human animals B. Fire rockets randomly into the windows C. Target the floors known to have civilians bc the terrorists are using human shields D. All of the above?

When I click "share" a post in amethyst, it produces a web URL to snort.social. This works to share the content to non-nostriches, but what about for people who have a nostr client? Shouldn't we also have a way of sharing a URL that causes the browser to open your nostr client of choice? @Vitor Pamplona

If one of the big issues with Tor is lack of performance due to the "free rider" problem, and one of the issues with lightning is potential deanonymization (solvable with Tor), then shouldn't these two technologies scratch each others backs? Lightning micropayments from Tor browsers to reward Tor node operators for providing high performance?

Has anyone tried forking the Tor network to change it such that clients have to pay a lightning micropayment for every request, and the payment is received by the node operators?

Under a #bitcoin unit of account, a wage worker making 5000 sats/hr (say) will be getting implicit wage increases as the purchasing power of a sat increases over time. How do you think this plays out? Will employment contracts have built-in wage decreases for deflation? Or will employers have to negotiate with employees regularly to decrease pay? Something else?

Is there a way to easily transport my list of relays from client to client? I use a variety of clients and I'd very much like if they all used the same set of relays. But entering my relays one at a time on every client is serious UX tedium. Plus I change the list from time to time, and then I have to go everywhere and do it over again. Help? #nostr #nostrhelp
