N on nostr

Open in Damus

Legitimately feeling bullish with the Bitcoin+Nostr+SimpleX combo.

3 of the things I use the most for comms and commerce actually work.

These freedom alternatives are actually better than the centralized/pwnd competitors.

Signal need of phone numbers always rubbed me the wrong way. They never fixed that, must be malicious.

Twitter still king, but Nostr works, it's very yonge but growing.

Fuck fiat. Bitcoin is the Barbarian at the gates.

I generally oppose services requiring phone numbers, just to fuck us over. When will plebs understand its NOT for security, but to get data from you easier & not allowing you to have more than a single verified account? It's so easy to social engineer your way into getting someone's phone number &...

Almost, Add drivechain and you have a winner

All you n00bs were in school or something when RedPhone dropped in 2012-13. It was a huge innovation for solving Sybil attacks on IM systems. And then a couple of years later sim cloning became easy as the cryptography is (still) circa 1996. Solving this problem is one of the many use cases we see...

I'm reading 'The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire.' Every passage confirms that we are the barbarians at the gates of a declining empire.

In my world, most have no clue about bitcoin, nobody knows about NOSTR let alone SimpleX. To try to get people to download another app will be like pulling teeth. I’ve built a start9 server, running a node and iris relay but other than my Nostr peeps here its crickets. Even i dont understand half ...

It is a powerful triad! ^^ Would be nice if SimpleX made a rebrand & name change though.

Tbh, all those hating on Signal because of phone number registration are just identifying themselves as dumb and easily influenced. There is no mathematical / technical link between the phone number, contacts and messages. At least show us what the link is rather than second guessing how it could po...
