Yeah I wouldn't say XMRmada is a strictly monero focused group, its just we who started it are all monero bros so we put it in the name. Obviously monero is gonna be a topic of discussion often there but we are talking about all kinds of stuff.

You forgot to add "follow me for more gold standard life advice"

Its a concord client. Concord is a protocol built on top of nostr to enable large, decentralized, encrypted group chats without massive synchronization overhead, basically a decentralized discord type thing. So yeah, a nostr app. Real fun so far. armada.buzz if you want to try it out and there's an invite link in this thread to that community if you want to come dick around on the internet with us. Also vectorapp.io/hub if you want to find other groups.

OK yeah that's about how I feel. WoT feels to me like it fragments the social network, and if PoW could be required by non-follow notes, even a tiny one, and turned on by default in most clients, again, a tiny one, we could have a mostly spam free network. But that's messy at this point. Ive even talked about attaching a small PoW inside kind 0 notes, since right now the way clients are fighting spam is blocking known to spam. That could get a foot in the door for PoW for notes and would be very effective.

Bro same, 100%. "Why can't you let people like things" because your brain is being turned to mush, youre being conditioned into a self policing slave and I love you. Ive come to terms with the possibility that as a species at least partly bred to be slaves, people will self select into that role and there's nothing you or I can do about it.

No I think the question is does it solve the spam issue. Unless I misunderstood. I'm of the opinion that it is the best solution to spam issues and curious wha tyou think.

I have yet to get a monero payment and ive had an xmr address in my profile for years. The only time I got one was when we were all experimenting with that short lived, not maintained amethyst fork that had a monero wallet built in. I don't mind. I'm not here to make money. I'm here to shout meaningless nonsense into the void in such a way that I cannot be censored. Its all about censorship resistant publishing to me, not zaps. Though they are pretty cool. I am a pretty firm believer that this whole model of voluntary micropayments for posting is not going to earn anyone any consequential amounts of money. Its just a fun thing to me.

Require PoW to see notes.

Why not? Ive been very much of the opinion that it would.

I know right, never thought I'd see an AI with a good point lol

Imagine gatekeeping permissionless money.

I think you mean Monero's tail emission. Yes, they are fundamentally different dynamics. This is a good point not a lot of people appreciate. I personally prefer gold's emission mechanics, and have actually (roughly) figured out a way to emulate it in cryptocurrency, but which is ideal is still an open question. A flat rate per block seems like it could maintain security adequate for the value secured perfectly, but it does nothing to smooth purchasing power (aka price) shocks. I don't know that that is necessary to do though, I think it is but empirically nobody knows yet. What I am certain of though is that a fixed supply necessarily leads to a collapse in the security model down the road.

Nothing, because nobody even knows it happened.

I'm pretty sure thats the last one and Alex won it.

I xmrRedux wonder if he checks his nostr DMs.

You obviously dont need to that bad then. You will. Just not yet.

You think he saw the light or what?

Lol shits wild yo
