There is, however, a very important distinction: Encryption requires no violence to be effective. The goal is to make attack prohibitively expensive and defensive trivially cheap. #bitcoin achieves this, #nostr achieves this, and I believe we achieve this with @White Noise. Unstoppable, open protocols are the ultimate weapon against those who only know how to loot and destroy. image

This is incorrect. If you're not willing to defend yourself with violence, people will take your encryption keys, just like they would take your guns. Encryption and the right to bear arms both are not effective if violence is off the table.

Defense doesn't require violence, just superior math. We build systems that make attack futile. The ultimate peaceful revolution
we tested zaps on this note… your profile only specifies a nip05 nostr address, but not a lightning address, so we tried to zap your nip05 address.... we made six attempts to⚑zap this note, at coolidge@0xchat.com, over a period of 15 minutes. in each case, we found that your lightning address service or server did not respond correctly. if you wanted to fix this... you could try getting a free rizful lightning address -- ... if u get it set up, pls reply here so we can do this ⚑zap test again.
