By the way, @Sedd's profile banner pic is awesome. Really cyberpunk-ish.

While some Muslims are still like "to hijra or not to hijra", we’re already thinking about how to expand the marketplace. View quoted note →

Microsoft was down again? 😀 Heard it from my daughter who couldn't play Minecraft.

I'm already thinking about it. 👀 View quoted note →

Riba literally kills growth, the growth for everybody. Except for a tiny handful of economic elites. The biggest factor in economic growth is people. And the more riba spreads through loans and debt, the fewer kids people end up having. Can you explain the harm from riba, like interest, any simpler than that? And don't let those climate fanatics feed you lines like "there are too many people" or "humans are the cancer of this planet." That's all bullshit. A landmass the size of Australia could house every single person. China alone could feed everybody on the planet. *Riba* is the cancer of this planet. And Bitcoin is sadly just a drop in the bucket.

The effects of riba, using Turkey's yearly population growth rate as an example. [Source: https://www.worldometers.info/world-population/turkey-population/] But what explains the birth rate going up between 2010 and 2018? After pulling together all the data: Turkey went through this phase from 2010 to 2016 with low government debt and moderate inflation, while the economy was growing strong. Then starting in 2017, things got way worse real fast because of growth funded by debt, loose money policies, and political meddling in the central bank, which all led to a major currency crisis in 2018. And ever since then, it's been a steep downhill slide, and life in Turkey has gotten tough again, which directly hits the birth rate too.

Hahaha, great!

#NoorNote is a desktop client, and there's a good reason for that. We all love how Nostr can't be censored, right? But there's still a weak spot. A web client gets hosted on a regular web server, and that can get taken down or blocked with just some everyday bureaucracy. It hasn't happened yet, but "they" haven't really noticed Nostr either. It's similar with mobile apps; app stores can take them down or block those too. With desktop clients that you can download from all sorts of mirrors around, and that only use the internet to shuttle stuff to and from relays, it's way harder to mess with. And if you're on Linux, even more so. To me, that's real peer-to-peer. So a Nostr client as a desktop app has its upsides, along with a few downsides. The ecosystem right now isn't all that exciting. But I think it's the future for every kind of Nostr client, not just the social media part, especially the "other stuff" part of Nostr. Nostr clients that run on a web server will soon be considered a leftover from the transition days. One direct result of the still weak ecosystem for Nostr desktop clients is that there's no decent desktop key signer out there. You can enter your nsec directly, and the security risk isn't as bad as doing it in a web client (since you'd have to trust the web client operator), but it's still there. Malicious software on your system could still snag that nsec. A hardware remote signer is better, but not many people have one. So what's left? A software key signer, like Alby, nosx, Flamingo and so on, except those are for browsers. I couldn't find one for the desktop, or maybe I'm just not looking hard enough. Anyway, I wrote my own desktop key signer: NoorSigner. It'll come bundled with NoorNote, but it's a standalone project and other desktop Nostr clients can use it too. It even has an API to control it right from the desktop client! You can run it automatically before starting the Nostr client; it's a terminal app written in Golang. First setup: On the first launch, you paste your nsec into the terminal, set a password, and pick a "trust mode." That means whether you want to enter your password into NoorSigner every time before starting the Nostr client (like on shared computers), or you trust your machine and let the NoorSigner session stick around for 24 hours. But even then, you'd still need to enter your password at least once a day into NoorSigner. Like I said, I still need to write up some proper API docs (who actually likes writing docs?), and then other desktop clients can use it too.
