Yeah they hate me here because I criticize Nostr and they don't have counterarguments.

looking forward to being invited onto his podcast to talk about Pubky

I am very principled, even when it comes to personal relationships. I intend to judge you. I must. You do it to me too. When it comes arguing, I expect you to argue "like a man." That means sincerely, honestly, with as much effort to seek the truth as possible. Even if you think I am rude or disparaging your pet project, you have an obligation to separate style from substance and provide genuine counterarguments. I am not interested in humoring your equivocations, self-deceit, and i. It is already hard enough to focus on discovering the truth while fighting off my own! I have a lot of confidence in the arguments I make because they are the result of such high standards, not because I am arrogant, not because I smart, but because I was there to see when all the other ideas failed by comparison, because I am stubborn, because I dont want to embarrass myself to myself. I cannot care what you think about me if you are preoccupied with my style. If we are talking about me in the argument, it isnt really on topic, is it? If you want to refute me, do it well. Don't be lazy. Don't lie or complain. If you feel insulted by my sincere and rationalized arguments, the way to "insult" me back is to prove me wrong. I say all this because I want to make the world a better place ... for REAL ... Not some fake temporary version where people get to be superficially proud and scam people for a while. If you dismiss function for form, you cannot make real discoveries, just temporary hype cycles that fade away.

Meanwhile, in the Pubky beta...

I keep telling you guys we need to fire Saylor. We need a new Pumpmaster. Buying stocks instead of real BTC doesn't work!

Nick Szabo, here, is demonstrating, and recommending, handwaving as a security strategy. He conflates a metaphor people can "understand" (locked doors) to support the idea of censoring specific bitcoin transactions at the mempool level. But filters aren't locks. They aren't even doors. They are fences in an open field. They don't prevent trespassers, they increase people walking on the grass. We already know how to censor bitcoin txns we don't like, because we already do it successfully! Miners know there are certain poisonous, yet valid, transactions. Through meatspace, they enforce exclusion of such txns. Sadly, this whole "spam" "war" requires Bitcoiners to take a ride together that ends up supporting the idea of miners being heavily regulated by governments, and the idea that we must be good at censoring txns we do not like. Because, unlike pleb nodes, it is miners that decide what gets into Bitcoin. No one else. Arguing policy is pointless, just make the config you like and convince miners to run it... ...But if you do, know that you are doing evil, and acting as useful idiots for the state.

I ran Knots before it was uncool.

It was peers, more accurately. I couldnt make it, but wanted to just because Satoshi Labs always do great work.

She didn't say anything bad. The idea is that ALL transactions can be subjectively judged, and there will always be txns people don't like. We have NO WAY to know how people are using txns, or even how they value those txns. All txns are "NFTs" and none are explicitly more "money" than the others. This orients the conversation correctly, away from policy discussion, toward protocol discussion, forcing opponents to properly propose REAL solutions for data on Bitcoin, instead of handwaving policy drama that fixes nothing. Currently, this is mostly a culture war over default settings in an app.

Dunno what it is but I already warned my team months ago that Nostr people would make shitty versions of our work and narratives and not to get triggered by it.

How much was spent on Web5?

Does this mean I'm on the show?
