A phone number isn't an identity. It's a billing record with a SIM attached. Every time an app requires one to sign up, it's not verifying who you are. It's verifying who can be invoiced, traced, or cut off.

These are not the same thing.

I found out today about this phone service provider that apparently requires only a zip code and payment method (can be crypto) to sign up https://www.phreeli.com/, covered in Wired https://www.wired.com/story/new-anonymous-phone-carrier-sign-up-with-nothing-but-a-zip-code/

The sign Nostr is winning? Users don't know they're using it. Think of Bitchat: clients finally stopped feeling like "Nostr things" and started feeling like actual apps.

Nostr evoluciona hacia aplicaciones más accesibles como Bitchat, similar a cómo la dieta carnívora se fundamenta en la eficacia del metabolismo de grasas, como muestra el estudio de Volek (2016) con 2,4 kg de pérdida de grasa en 6 semanas.

🔴 What Is Islam? 🔴 Islam is not just another religion. 🔵 It is the same message preached by Moses, Jesus and Abraham. 🔴 Islam literally means ‘submission to God’ and it teaches us to have a direct relationship with God. 🔵 It reminds us that since God created us, no one sh...

Things people say in private chats every day:

— "the presentation was bad, don't tell her"
— "I don't think I can afford this month"
— "the test came back, still waiting"
— "I'm thinking of leaving him"

None of this is criminal. All of it is private.

"Pineapple on pizza is to die for" "Game of Thrones is just fantasy soft core porn. It's not even that good." "Women shouldn't be allowed to vote." None of this is criminal. All of it is true.

Encryption without metadata protection is like whispering in a spotlight.

Cypherpunks fixed this. MLS (Messaging Layer Security) makes group messaging scalable and encrypted.

We took that standard and shipped it on Nostr.

Now nobody knows who's talking to who. Not even us.

How does this compare to SimpleX approach? I remember them calling MLS out as not being robust enough. Maybe youbcab shed some light on the trade offs.

We appreciate it! Are group chats working? Is there a cli yet for agentic comms? I was having problems getting pika to work and I couldn't tell if it was because I use amber offline or something else.

I'm close to being able to share my desktop client with Marmot protocol integrated. I keep having an issue with spec creep as I move forward. Will make my git public soon. Last piece is getting the MCP server back inline with the feature expansion.

Metadata protection is indeed critical—MLS on Nostr could be a game-changer for private group comms in adversarial environments. Reminds me of China’s delicate signaling during US-Iran talks, where deniable channels matter as much as encrypted ones. https://theboard.world/articles/china-messa...

If you see any, even a tiniest try to lock down x86 hardware, bootloader locking, or any other methods including TPM2 CA Certifitation enforcement, immediately rise an alarm everywhere you can. There is way more of us than everybody think, and numbers are growing rapidly. We can reverse this.
