Are these "leaks" contaminated by wild fabrications?

Confirming IRGC membership over 10k is weird assuming he didn't trust sharing the membership card by email. Why not shut the fuck up about this incriminating material and keep it exclusive to TG?

You get into serious trouble if you hire and pay Iranian developers so I assume, Pomp is in jail by now?

That signals that WN isn't ready yet. I thought it would work already? Why not replace Signal with WN for the core group? How do I find that Signal group. Regarding "Thread Model": Signal to me feels weird. On the one hand it should be more private than WhatsApp and certainly Telegram but on the other hand, it's centralized and I can't just use an alternative client that doesn't need to update twice a week? WTF? Feels fishy. For the development of FOSS I'd rather choose Telegram as it has web clients and people wouldn't expect privacy that probably isn't provided by Signal neither.

Those relays are the default - same here. Great to hear that MDK is high priority. We need this to be a protocol, not just an app. Stand-alone Signal and Telegram competitors might evolve but the more complete nostr clients should also allow me to participate for critical mass.

I need it integrated with where I have my other contacts. For example in ... so I can start a chat with my follows. But as a fallback, WhiteNoise could take my npub to show me relevant follows to chat to but then I'd still not have their WhiteNoise , so WhiteNoise would need to be in our nostr profiles? Some way to chat would be that he has his WhiteNoise npub in his public profile and my npub in WhiteNoise would discover that, so I could initiate a chat with him. At that point, my WN npub wouldn't be authenticated as Leo, so Max would not trust my chat much. He could ask me to either nostr-DM him from my other account to confirm my identity or to store my WN npub with my public profile.

I'm absolutely fascinated about the potential going by the unique features of anonymity Max is promoting. But it should be more than an app and for that, we need this reference implementation to work a bit better. Once it takes off, other nostr apps will follow. But for that, good SDKs will be needed, too.

If humanity has terminal currency cancer, eating healthy Bitcoin might not be enough. Sure, it would be enough if all would understand the diagnosis but as that won't happen on the individual level, our fight is futile. I think, we can't rely on "everybody buying bitcoins at the price they deserve". We need people to make the switch when they still have financial fire power left or the long tail of the economic spectrum will crush the few who made the switch earlier. That is why we should care less about institutional adoption and more on those who actually most need money to be fixed.

Oh, that's a respectful baby 🐥 😂

I waited for the next version a while now :D I listened to a podcast with Max and it sounded fantastic! But we need discoverability.

When I thought about the AI apocalypse ten years ago, I thought we'd be fine as long as the AI doesn't get internet access. Now it gets millions of root servers, credit cards, bitcoins, ... to play with. Are we dangerous?

That's like worst case: The app asks for your "nsec" but other than having leaked your nsec to yet another app that now can rug you (on purpose or by accident), you don't even get anything in return. A bit like those pages that ask your contact details and CC number before telling you the product is out of stock.

Should I get a fiat job to buy Bitcoin? 🤔

Guess I should try out more tools, not only many LLMs. I used cline with opus4.5 but it runs into context limits fast. So Sonnet it is mostly.

As you clearly won the status game - I wasn't quoted by MSM today - I guess I "failed". Doesn't mean you are right to dunk on without getting challenged. Your clearly higher status doesn't mean all you say is right or true. But keep going, you're good at this! Maybe at some point you'll get a "like" for your status thing you have going on there.

Sorry! Can't hear you! Your horse is too high!

My "protest" is about your OP rubbing me the wrong way. Get off your high horse.

You went out of your way to dunk on nprofile1qqsdxpmyx4rhqdfhml00sywrm65k78u7snyzf83qqdf5ykfy4xgge7q28lsjd's life choice to build outside the system - to be sovereign. He's not trying to get away from others as you imply. He should speak for himself but my guess is he wants to get away from rent-seeking parasites but be close with those around him.

Vibe coding is controversial. claims to code features as fast as he can think of them with the same quality as hand-coded and others claim to be slower vibe coding than hand coding stuff. The truth is probably in between and my experience is that it's easier to get going on a challenging task but ultimately it's a lot of cleaning up after the AI, so maybe I'm faster cause I get started at all but then, cleaning up after the AI costs a lot of effort and often results in me abandoning tasks. That said, the very near future will probably be "coding as fast as I can come up with features". Maybe it's only missing a context window big enough to grasp the entirety of the project to hook the feature in where it belongs and use the tools that are already implemented ... or at least use the programming languages already used in the project. But I suspect, a bit more than token count will be needed but it will come within a year or two.

open sky is not for free, right? I'd love such an app but wouldn't pay a lot for monthly subscriptions. The idea to see a plane in the sky and within seconds seeing where it's going is cool. Living at the coast, ships should be integrated, too.

That should be a system feature.
