If the Fediverse is reliant upon donations to keep instances running... they're NGMI. https://cdn.nostr.build/i/df51d83cb1751a30ebe5516226fbd853146dc1fa65abb550f9a428c9a074436f.jpg

Main reason nostr cannot scale, not enough passionate people to do it for free or at their own cost. It’s technical limitations make this a larger burden. They want to avoid P2P but scalability requires a large amount of autonomous processes. Scaling a non-p2p system requires more humans for more nodes. All human operated hub based peer systems have failed to date. Edonkey, etc… The human central point of failure is vulnerable, lawsuits etc…

Just like freedom, freedom tech requires work and sacrifice. The early founders of freedom tech here are doing that for all of us because of a belief in the importance of it. Thanks to them all. IMHO, the rest of us should be forming local cooperatives of BTC mining, custody, and probably power pro...

The NIP-69 bounty for Lightning polls was there so #nostr could have open polling that would be resistant to bots, to shift the incentive model for participants. Xitter are just gonna restrict poll p...

Bots 🤖 can and will have wallets and access to lightning. Paid votes just mean the person with the most money can shift the poll to their favor. It doesn’t prevent bot participation or vote rigging. You need an extremely large client base to make sure paid polls are not manipulated. X has the user base, each paying $11 a month. The masses will always outspend the manipulator. Nostr unfortunately doesn’t have the user base and likely never will to prevent one person from outspending poll participants. It’s essentially Proof-of-Stake and the person with 51% owns the votes and the poll. X has too many users for a single bad actor to 51% a popular poll. This is a math problem not bot problem. It’s also a lack of active users problem. The least popular a poll the more susceptible it is to attack but at this same time the inverse is true, it’s less likely to be targeted.

There needs to be a relay discovery protocol. DNS SRV would be suitable for this as it would maintain decentralization. @jack #nostr

X didn't stop censoring. And never will. There is no free speech on company owned platforms. That's just Musk lying and bullshiting.

The 74 page document is literally about how X’s removing censorship code results in massive spread of Russian propaganda and how Meta’s heavily censored system abated it. I don’t think you realize how censored X was prior to musk. This 74 page documents proves. Regardless the internet is corporate owned and censored which includes this platform. Relay operators can censor by ignoring publish requests and ISP’s can censor by dropping packet sequences. #bitcoin miners are constantly censoring by not including tx’s into blocks or making certain tx’s wait in the mempool, also mempool flooding to censor during bull markets 😂

Wasn't that a bug and not an exploit?
