Today I sent a friend e-cash in an e-mail (pun intended). Of course the e-mail was encrypted using PGP. I pictured it as literally sending cash in the mail except that the mail was sealed and guaranteed not to be opened but by the intended recipient. I'm living in the future.

I'll recommend adding wss://sendit.nosflare.com to your relay list to get your posts published to as many relays as possible without having to add each one of them.

This is the major issue with off-ramps and the solution (in my opinion) is to NOT need banks. Off-ramp solutions that allow you to pay directly for your everyday needs (no-KYC of course) is the way forward.

First they ignore you (aeonbtc's blocklist), then they laugh at you ("knots' users are stupid; I hope they get rekt 🤣🤣🤣"), then they fight you (portlandhodl's attack on knots nodes), then you win!

for something as important as verifying binaries for bitcoin software, it's a wonder that very few people do it.

1. few developers sign their binaries
2. few users verify those binaries

we can do better and for those developers who sign their binaries, unless you suspect your master key has been compromised, there's no need to rotate it. that's what subkeys are for.

yes, as long as you're guaranteed that it does not share that information with third parties, which imo is impossible to do. the issue comes when you have to trust the agent. these models are at best black boxes; even the open source models are trained using data we don't have access to. we've come to trust traditional computation devices because they are largely dumb and we understand them very well. they do what they're instructed to do and only that. can't say we understand these ai models to the same degree yet. maybe if these systems incorporated something like homomorphic encryption them we wouldn't have to trust them.
