Merry Christmas nostr!

Tldr, more people need to shut up and "just do things"

I have the feeling that our failure to bring high profiles to account comes from a sense of learned helplessness. Celebrities seem untouchable, and so we shrink back from touching them. But I can't imagine that it's as hard as we act to bring accountability.

What if a single lawyer or journalist started a campaign to arrest Fauci or Clinton or whatever high profile figure has a slam dunk case against them? They could raise millions in funding overnight, get widespread attention, and maybe even be able to put them away. But everyone seems to want to make a career talking about it instead.

I think this is analogous to freedom tech. If it's impossible to fight google, why try? And anyway, it's safer and more profitable to play their game.

Here's a quick demo of my new multi-sig signer:



I wasn't able to get away without having a password unfortunately (fortunately?), but apart from the email-only recovery process I think this is a pretty familiar UX. Looking forward to polishing it in the new year and getting it fully integrated into Flotilla.

If you're interested in reading the protocol, you can find it here: https://github.com/coracle-social/pomade/blob/master/PROTOCOL.md. I'm definitely interested in any review. Eventually, I'll probably need to get this audited if it stands up to basic scrutiny.

That's all they do in the show, explain things. I keep waiting for something to happen, but nothing actually does. It's all exposition.

HOT TAKE: Pluribus is not good. I know, 3 weeks too late but hey

the design could be improved 😅

Yes, unfortunately I have to agree. I am currently working on a MPC signer implementation with email recovery however, so it will be very nearly normie-friendly

far too many of them

Awesome, let me know if you have any other questions

Claude just told me "Real security comes from: proper rate limiting and attempt monitoring, not just entropy"

If you don't mind a hosted version, you could try https://hosting.coracle.social. It's not too bad, but definitely requires some technical ability. For a relay that doesn't have blossom, flotilla will use your top personal blossom server to upload stuff (and will do the same for other users as well). However, these uploads will be encrypted, with the key included in the message you send, so they will be as private as the messages in the chat
