It's something much, much darker-- I don't like aging and I prefer the way that I used to look in old pictures like that

it's branding. not as original as "boatface" though, clever.

This graph is terrible and hard to understand but it sums up the reality of OP_RETURN debate accurately without adding feelings, FUD, or future predictions.

Great! Unfortunately your call sign must get sent both ways. There is no legal way around this. Just like any broadcast. You could always create a vanity npub for HAMSTR only or something as well ...

Just to clarify: I understand that the transmission itself will need to have callsign associated (legally) so the Hamstr server will know it, but will the resulting Nostr post include the callsign?

And is there a band that you’re currently focusing on? Or is the idea to use multiple? Seems to me that in its infancy it may be a good idea to concentrate on one.

No. The call sign is used for the connection between client and server only. The server would have no reason to include it on a nostr note. The idea is like winlink. Many servers on multiple bands. Maybe a 40 and 80. After I get vara hf and reticulum, I want to add in radio control features for ...

This was a great episode and very exciting concept, (despite being very contingent and niche). A couple questions:

1) not sure how it is in the USA but in Canada my callsign leads directly to doxxing me. Is there a “firewall” of sorts between the RF transmission and the resulting Nostr broadcast that ensures the callsign is not included on Nostr?

2) When more servers get going, what band of HF are you planning to use? I’m just setting up some antennas (so far, for listening only, but eventually transmitting too). Whichever band you’re using will inform the next antenna I’m going to set up.

Thanks!
