It isn't sovereign when anyone can see your transactions and punish you for that. Time to adopt coins with privacy.

Maybe taking a look on https://geogram.radio ?

Each phone becomes a station/server if desired and you can confortably exchange BLE messages/pics with anyone around. To exchange large files you can plug a USB-C cable between both phones.

In addition to that is supported LAN, Internet and radio messages (APRS).

Sneakernet is possible but not yet implemented.

Feedback and testing is welcome, NOSTR is native.

Briar requires manual pairing between bluetooth devices.

Gets so confusing in comparison to servers because a relay was always something connecting two things directly. Or maybe this is because electrical engineering was my first profession, so I'd always think first on this image.

The moment that any crypto coin provides privacy to users then will be treated just as harshly as done to Monero today.

That other coin isn't unstoppable. It is today on the hands of bankers and governments that raise it artificially by issuing tether USD which isn't verifiable. This is done to remove much deserved attention to other coins that do work on benefit of commoners.

As a hint: the founder of Tether today works directly on the White House and that is no coincidence.

Any promise of privacy on top of a transparent blockchain has always been a carrot polling our hopes. They drag promises for years, swear on its privacy and then in the end isn't.

It is OK that you use it, just avoid associating with the term privacy when it is exactly the opposite since it was created.

I've been there, done that. The thing is that most people don't understand geopolitics at a younger age. We are fed with whatever comes on mainstream news and do what everyone says is right for the country.

You get well paid, get to use to your strenght, talent and wit on a challenging environment. And you do this to help others.

As you get older, cracks start to appear. The upper the ranks you go, the more you start seeing corruption going unchecked. At first small things, but then bigger and more criminal and more obvious on each step.

At that point you have invested your youth, your career to be there. Friends, family, salary: everything you built is around the decision to be in the military and participate on those activities.

What would you do? I'll tell you: most people don't care. They won't throw away their lives for the sake of selective morality. There are always exceptions due to exceptional circumstances but 99% don't really care much for what the 1% decides to push them into.

You are still young. Go for it.

Relays should be relays.

Right now NOSTR relays store data. They answer to requests and return filters over that data, that is the definition of a server.

At geogram is used the term "station server" and paradoxically these devices behave more accurately as relays than servers. They don't store user data, they mainly bridge devices behind NAT and that's it.

Congratulations for the good news, just please keep in mind that privacy and bitcoin are not the same thing.

That crypto is fully transparent, where anyone can see your payments and the content of your wallet.

Whereas bitcoin is endorsed by governments and large banking entities, coins that provide privacy are chased and outcasted those same entities.

Please consider supporting Monero rather than supporting cryptos which endanger users.
