In the long, long ago, it was suggested that if Bitcoin were to ever be successfully coopted, the solution was simple -- we will just fork. A silly idea for a low-market-cap mindset. Oh how much harder it is to stomp the price, the market dominance, the claws of Bitcoin sinking into retirement accounts and mai street point of sale terminals using lightning as rails. Just think where the XBT/BIP110 folks are starting from. They literally, willingly erased a decade of progres, with no guarantees that, within a decade, they won't be dealing with some similar "existential" crisis -- that it all won't go pear-shaped again and require the fortitude of some hairshirt mob to reset the Bitcoin game again all the way back to zero. That's not how you make progress.

JANE GET ME OFF THIS CRAZY THING

Yes, but practically speaking, nostr with no traction is the same as no nostr at all. People aren't going to run a decent relays or maintain a good app if users just go elsewhere.

A good idea that can't get traction is practically no different than a bad idea.

I accidentally re-invented the d8+d16+d16, except I used d8 as the least significant bits, unlike "D++" which uses it for the most significant bits. What should I call this? "D--"?

Whoa hey why is "gay chat" necessarily pornographic? Maybe the gays are swapping recipes.

Wait ypu issues the vague lightning warning just because you're having a nerd crash out?

I will will the sushi.

I wrote a dead simple python plugin that basically maintains a currently empty whitelist of incoming channel requestors

I mean, to be fair, it's usually the ancaps and LARPatarians that talk like this. That's fair, right? That's why the adults in the room have to literally do press releases like this for a living: https://www.wmtw.com/article/libertarian-party-denounces-threats-new-hampshire/73856228

Unhinged. Why even have a political party if you are just going to talk like a violent goon?

Red Team is a limited hangout

Mehhh. I would say it's a an advertisement for an investment newsletter aimed at hilariously wealthy people, but it's disguised as a futurist screed. It kind of sort of accurately described the technical basis and economic motivations behind the advent of crypto currencies, (this was in 1994) but these guys bit a lot off of Neal Stephenson and even directly reference his jargon, like the "metaverse". Modern dipshit ancaps and LARPatarians think it's a crystal ball.

The Sovereign Individual. I think thread replies are broken in Amethyst.

Standard ancap jerkoff propaganda.

This guy's dad wrote The Sovereign Individual, a turgid advertisement for an investment newsletter for rich douchebags.

I haven't published them yet. Would a PR into your repository be the right place?
