I don't really know... npub13ndpm2hm9hud4azsq5euhf5mv3d05r90wymwxsd7rdn29609hhvqp60svh bitcoinerrorlog Do you mean you need a new Pubky invite? npub13ndpm2hm9hud4azsq5euhf5mv3d05r90wymwxsd7rdn29609hhvqp60svh bitcoinerrorlog Consensuspionage? https://x.com/reardencode/status/1987631744095559988 npub13ndpm2hm9hud4azsq5euhf5mv3d05r90wymwxsd7rdn29609hhvqp60svh bitcoinerrorlog No, the internet is the internet. Nostr is on the internet. npub13ndpm2hm9hud4azsq5euhf5mv3d05r90wymwxsd7rdn29609hhvqp60svh bitcoinerrorlog Rights are enforced. The rest is bullshit Bitcoin provides enforcement of units per identity by proof of work. Nostr does not enforce anything at all, it just signs things and broadcasts them. npub13ndpm2hm9hud4azsq5euhf5mv3d05r90wymwxsd7rdn29609hhvqp60svh bitcoinerrorlog Read the article that @Truthcoin is too scared to respond to! The Drivechain community is in uproar! Will Paul man up?! Only in the Pubky.app PRIVATE BETA (iykyk) https://pubky.app/post/gujx6qd8ksydh1makdphd3bxu351d9b8waqka8hfg6q7hnqkxexo/003452JMEVW7G npub13ndpm2hm9hud4azsq5euhf5mv3d05r90wymwxsd7rdn29609hhvqp60svh bitcoinerrorlog Top is in. npub13ndpm2hm9hud4azsq5euhf5mv3d05r90wymwxsd7rdn29609hhvqp60svh bitcoinerrorlog My mute list is the most valuable content on nostr. #nevent1q…54c0 npub13ndpm2hm9hud4azsq5euhf5mv3d05r90wymwxsd7rdn29609hhvqp60svh bitcoinerrorlog Miners dont need to pool at all. npub13ndpm2hm9hud4azsq5euhf5mv3d05r90wymwxsd7rdn29609hhvqp60svh bitcoinerrorlog No, that isn't the problem... npub13ndpm2hm9hud4azsq5euhf5mv3d05r90wymwxsd7rdn29609hhvqp60svh bitcoinerrorlog No. It is simple because any design that implies trust in miners must accept that also means trust in government, and trust that nothing would convince them to rug pull. This is a horrible assumption. npub13ndpm2hm9hud4azsq5euhf5mv3d05r90wymwxsd7rdn29609hhvqp60svh bitcoinerrorlog You could just ask the miner to run a mint for you and get a better UX. npub13ndpm2hm9hud4azsq5euhf5mv3d05r90wymwxsd7rdn29609hhvqp60svh bitcoinerrorlog When your friends do/say/use something retarded, don't you tell them? Or do you just let them be retarded? If someone told you something you did was retarded, would you bother asking yourself if they are correct? https://blossom.primal.net/81d4d6d4c182182dadad8da3a191ab545daed0a63a0e3b5a3212a0cc66bc15c2.png npub13ndpm2hm9hud4azsq5euhf5mv3d05r90wymwxsd7rdn29609hhvqp60svh bitcoinerrorlog Nostr isn’t a simple system that works; it’s a **simplistic** system that avoids the most relevant problems by pretending they don’t exist. A simple system that works evolves because it has solid fundamentals that can scale and adapt. Centralized/censorable relays, no data ownership, no credible exit, etc, are aspects that fork it from reality. Complexity can’t “emerge” from literal retardation. Isn't it fair to observe that Nostr usage is on a significant downtrend, and that Bluesky, for better or worse, has stomped us all so far? By 3 orders of magnitude! Isn't it fair to step back and notice what things actually look like here? The bugs? The cultish behavior? The constant churn of new amazing nostr apps that are abandoned for the next one? The constant reinvention? Where are you drawing your confidence from? It's just hopium behavior applied to network protocols. It's naivety. npub13ndpm2hm9hud4azsq5euhf5mv3d05r90wymwxsd7rdn29609hhvqp60svh bitcoinerrorlog If the goal was to prove that people will build outside the status quo, Nostr succeeded. But if the goal is to create a scalable, censorship-resistant web that normal people can rely on, then it hasn’t even begun to meet that bar. What I’m pointing out isn’t that Nostr shouldn’t exist. It’s that its design inherently caps its scalability and censorship resistance. The same loose structure that makes it "easy" to build on also makes it impossible to coordinate, enforce quality, or provide credible exits. Success measured by enthusiasm is one thing. Success measured by capability is another. npub13ndpm2hm9hud4azsq5euhf5mv3d05r90wymwxsd7rdn29609hhvqp60svh bitcoinerrorlog Gladstein is a scam. npub13ndpm2hm9hud4azsq5euhf5mv3d05r90wymwxsd7rdn29609hhvqp60svh bitcoinerrorlog We have to agree on some definition of success in order to discuss, right? Mine is something like, "a viable, scalable, user-oriented, replacement for the walled-garden web that provides censorship resistance and a credible exit from any trusted servers" What is yours? Is it that no design can be better? That other designs must be more complex thus worse? That newer systems are failures because Nostr still has 10k-50k active users? That if someone is still building their better thing, it must be worse? Because that is what you sound like to me. Incapable of actually evaluating anything critically, instead leaning on whatever fallacies let you stay the way you are instead of become interested in outside things. Nostr is not simple. Keys as identities is simple. The rest is a mess of complexity piled on top because of a failure to even attempt actual key-identity management. What if you are wrong? What if you actually learn about Pubky and agree with me? Would that be so bad? npub13ndpm2hm9hud4azsq5euhf5mv3d05r90wymwxsd7rdn29609hhvqp60svh bitcoinerrorlog Why are you talking about me instead of why I am wrong? npub13ndpm2hm9hud4azsq5euhf5mv3d05r90wymwxsd7rdn29609hhvqp60svh bitcoinerrorlog They are all just keys right? What makes a nostr key special? Well, it uses the Bitcoin curve. What makes a pubky key special? Well, it uses the ed25519 curve. Nostr's curve allows some sort of handwavy Bitcoinyness. Pubky's curve allows interoperation with Mainline DHT and other existing relevant crypto. The result is Nostr always relying on censorable DNS to find anything, making keys disposable and hot. Where Pubky can actually use keys as persistent entities, and keep them cold. Keys can be search on any network, but not every network can be trusted. (This ONLY covers the differences for the identity layer, we could continue with how data is transmitted and aggregated, and then how search and coordination differ ... but i wont bother because i know you dont actually care) npub13ndpm2hm9hud4azsq5euhf5mv3d05r90wymwxsd7rdn29609hhvqp60svh bitcoinerrorlog If you trust miners you dont need drivechains. Just tell them not to replace your txn and include it someday when they can. And also accept that as settlement when people pay you. Zero-conf txns solve your needs. npub13ndpm2hm9hud4azsq5euhf5mv3d05r90wymwxsd7rdn29609hhvqp60svh bitcoinerrorlog Only fair for me to post this here too: https://x.com/BitcoinErrorLog/status/1984626185930781122 npub13ndpm2hm9hud4azsq5euhf5mv3d05r90wymwxsd7rdn29609hhvqp60svh bitcoinerrorlog If the devil can be remembered by many names, so can I. npub13ndpm2hm9hud4azsq5euhf5mv3d05r90wymwxsd7rdn29609hhvqp60svh bitcoinerrorlog Not saying, proving. npub13ndpm2hm9hud4azsq5euhf5mv3d05r90wymwxsd7rdn29609hhvqp60svh bitcoinerrorlog Because no one actually needs more blockchains. npub13ndpm2hm9hud4azsq5euhf5mv3d05r90wymwxsd7rdn29609hhvqp60svh bitcoinerrorlog The birth of Lightspark, led by David Marcus, was the top indicator for LN. He is like a vulture that arrives to pick the bones of a trend 2 years too late. npub13ndpm2hm9hud4azsq5euhf5mv3d05r90wymwxsd7rdn29609hhvqp60svh bitcoinerrorlog It is all the same shit rearranged. Nothing can anchor to bitcoin without trust. npub13ndpm2hm9hud4azsq5euhf5mv3d05r90wymwxsd7rdn29609hhvqp60svh bitcoinerrorlog Drivechains are a trainwreck. https://pubky.app/post/gujx6qd8ksydh1makdphd3bxu351d9b8waqka8hfg6q7hnqkxexo/003452JMEVW7G npub13ndpm2hm9hud4azsq5euhf5mv3d05r90wymwxsd7rdn29609hhvqp60svh bitcoinerrorlog https://youtu.be/EhJoJPf76Pw npub13ndpm2hm9hud4azsq5euhf5mv3d05r90wymwxsd7rdn29609hhvqp60svh bitcoinerrorlog If you have any actual informed criticisms, we're happy to hear them. Otherwise, I'll keep assuming this place is mostly Jack/Odell-worshipping NPCs with the critical thinking skills of a lemming. npub13ndpm2hm9hud4azsq5euhf5mv3d05r90wymwxsd7rdn29609hhvqp60svh bitcoinerrorlog I didnt belong on this panel lol npub13ndpm2hm9hud4azsq5euhf5mv3d05r90wymwxsd7rdn29609hhvqp60svh bitcoinerrorlog Someone tag the real jack for me this nostr app sux npub13ndpm2hm9hud4azsq5euhf5mv3d05r90wymwxsd7rdn29609hhvqp60svh bitcoinerrorlog Has anyone asked @npub1tlk…8097 what he thinks of "BIP444" and the overall "anti-spam" actions & narratives of the Ocean Mining team he is funding? npub13ndpm2hm9hud4azsq5euhf5mv3d05r90wymwxsd7rdn29609hhvqp60svh bitcoinerrorlog @npub1qny…95gx pay the men! npub13ndpm2hm9hud4azsq5euhf5mv3d05r90wymwxsd7rdn29609hhvqp60svh bitcoinerrorlog If I were a "pro" wrestler, this would be my theme song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnnHprUGKF0 npub13ndpm2hm9hud4azsq5euhf5mv3d05r90wymwxsd7rdn29609hhvqp60svh bitcoinerrorlog 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 insecurities. 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. npub13ndpm2hm9hud4azsq5euhf5mv3d05r90wymwxsd7rdn29609hhvqp60svh bitcoinerrorlog https://x.com/search?q=from%3Abitcoinerrorlog%20all%20spam&src=typed_query&f=live npub13ndpm2hm9hud4azsq5euhf5mv3d05r90wymwxsd7rdn29609hhvqp60svh bitcoinerrorlog It was peers, more accurately. I couldnt make it, but wanted to just because Satoshi Labs always do great work. npub13ndpm2hm9hud4azsq5euhf5mv3d05r90wymwxsd7rdn29609hhvqp60svh bitcoinerrorlog RAID Shadow Legends npub13ndpm2hm9hud4azsq5euhf5mv3d05r90wymwxsd7rdn29609hhvqp60svh bitcoinerrorlog I ran Knots before it was uncool. npub13ndpm2hm9hud4azsq5euhf5mv3d05r90wymwxsd7rdn29609hhvqp60svh bitcoinerrorlog It means there are no mirroring or replication tools yet 😉 You can still back up your data and respawn on any other homeserver. A mirror is a redundant server offering the same data. Replication is automatically copying that data across a network of subscribers. You could also make your own mirror or replication tools. The docs are simply noting we haven't made those things ourselves yet, not that they are impossible. npub13ndpm2hm9hud4azsq5euhf5mv3d05r90wymwxsd7rdn29609hhvqp60svh bitcoinerrorlog Yeah they hate me here because I criticize Nostr and they don't have counterarguments. npub13ndpm2hm9hud4azsq5euhf5mv3d05r90wymwxsd7rdn29609hhvqp60svh bitcoinerrorlog I sent one via dm already, but if you dont have nostr dm's come to t.me/pubkychat npub13ndpm2hm9hud4azsq5euhf5mv3d05r90wymwxsd7rdn29609hhvqp60svh bitcoinerrorlog Ask for a Pubky grant, i heard odell is open-minded npub13ndpm2hm9hud4azsq5euhf5mv3d05r90wymwxsd7rdn29609hhvqp60svh bitcoinerrorlog looking forward to being invited onto his podcast to talk about Pubky npub13ndpm2hm9hud4azsq5euhf5mv3d05r90wymwxsd7rdn29609hhvqp60svh bitcoinerrorlog Meanwhile, in the Pubky beta... https://image.nostr.build/0ae1460e0bc66f3af97c7b3598cb5d7cca127482493dd2c89b085ecd643b4595.png npub13ndpm2hm9hud4azsq5euhf5mv3d05r90wymwxsd7rdn29609hhvqp60svh bitcoinerrorlog I keep telling you guys we need to fire Saylor. We need a new Pumpmaster. Buying stocks instead of real BTC doesn't work! npub13ndpm2hm9hud4azsq5euhf5mv3d05r90wymwxsd7rdn29609hhvqp60svh bitcoinerrorlog No version of Core can stop miners from including objectionable valid transactions. npub13ndpm2hm9hud4azsq5euhf5mv3d05r90wymwxsd7rdn29609hhvqp60svh bitcoinerrorlog Do you want the government to regulate which transactions miners include? npub13ndpm2hm9hud4azsq5euhf5mv3d05r90wymwxsd7rdn29609hhvqp60svh bitcoinerrorlog Where's a good place to find great rust devs, great web devs, or great mobile devs? npub13ndpm2hm9hud4azsq5euhf5mv3d05r90wymwxsd7rdn29609hhvqp60svh bitcoinerrorlog https://selfie-records.com/ Still censorable. Still worse than PKDNS. npub13ndpm2hm9hud4azsq5euhf5mv3d05r90wymwxsd7rdn29609hhvqp60svh bitcoinerrorlog Yes it is the best discovery, but PKARR is still part of Pubky, whether you use the other aspects or not :) Pubky = PKARR identities + servers + indexers using an open semantic social graph Otherwise, Iroh is very cool, but make sure you are okay with their relay tradeoffs. It operates with a CPOF by default. npub13ndpm2hm9hud4azsq5euhf5mv3d05r90wymwxsd7rdn29609hhvqp60svh bitcoinerrorlog Well, "just a discovery mechanism" is a bit of an understatement! PKDNS uses literally the oldest, most decentralized, and thus, most censorship resistant form discovery on the planet. This is in contrast to Nostr which assumes a centralized trusted source, or Bluesky which explicitly provides a centralized trusted source. npub13ndpm2hm9hud4azsq5euhf5mv3d05r90wymwxsd7rdn29609hhvqp60svh bitcoinerrorlog Simply, a DHT is a way of distributing a lot of unique data across many nodes, while remaining very fast. Pubky uses Mainline DHT as a place to store our own version of DNS records, called PKARR (public-key-addressable resource records), or, more broadly, PKDNS. How Pubky uses Mainline DHT for its PKDNS system: https://medium.com/pubky/public-key-domains-censorship-resistance-explained-33d0333e6123 All about Mainline's censorship resistance: https://medium.com/pubky/mainline-dht-censorship-explained-b62763db39cb Great video about Kademlia, the DHT technology that Mainline uses: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1QdKhNpsj8M npub13ndpm2hm9hud4azsq5euhf5mv3d05r90wymwxsd7rdn29609hhvqp60svh bitcoinerrorlog I havent read or watched any of Core's takes really. I just listened to her words and used my fucking brain. npub13ndpm2hm9hud4azsq5euhf5mv3d05r90wymwxsd7rdn29609hhvqp60svh bitcoinerrorlog Most people know my identity unlike other anonymous cowards. npub13ndpm2hm9hud4azsq5euhf5mv3d05r90wymwxsd7rdn29609hhvqp60svh bitcoinerrorlog 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. https://blossom.primal.net/79577a02d241731e6d8d6a8554f920dcc3c0b9f30edf414b457a8af9a02b547e.png https://blossom.primal.net/489f8d9966f132760f0c053b974e0c510dd25f88f22d4963618da2bab215d008.png npub13ndpm2hm9hud4azsq5euhf5mv3d05r90wymwxsd7rdn29609hhvqp60svh bitcoinerrorlog Shouldn't you be blaming the miners for including the txns you don't like? Or, shouldn't you be providing an actual solution that prevents txns you don't like from being possible inside of bitcoin blocks? Arguing policy is pointless, just make the config you like and convince miners to run it. npub13ndpm2hm9hud4azsq5euhf5mv3d05r90wymwxsd7rdn29609hhvqp60svh bitcoinerrorlog 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. npub13ndpm2hm9hud4azsq5euhf5mv3d05r90wymwxsd7rdn29609hhvqp60svh bitcoinerrorlog Seems like the invite codes are working great as an idiot filter in this early stage! npub13ndpm2hm9hud4azsq5euhf5mv3d05r90wymwxsd7rdn29609hhvqp60svh bitcoinerrorlog Pubky homeserver file explorer: https://explorer.pubky.app/ npub13ndpm2hm9hud4azsq5euhf5mv3d05r90wymwxsd7rdn29609hhvqp60svh bitcoinerrorlog Next month, I'll be on a Lightning panel in Lugano with @nprofile…kjyr , roasbeef, and Christian Decker. Whether you care or not, that's decades of unique cumulative experience in the Lightning business. We all have things to say. Also, @nprofile…zx3h will have to acknowledge my existence for a few days as moderator. What an event! npub13ndpm2hm9hud4azsq5euhf5mv3d05r90wymwxsd7rdn29609hhvqp60svh bitcoinerrorlog Eric says to me "Anyone who is serious about sponsoring a Libbitcoin dev is free to contact me or them." So, I think whatever prior effort you made was the wrong angle or through the wrong contacts. npub13ndpm2hm9hud4azsq5euhf5mv3d05r90wymwxsd7rdn29609hhvqp60svh bitcoinerrorlog I more meant funding the libbitcoin project than him specifically, but maybe that is what you meant too? He refused funding to do something like create a funding org or grants for libbitcoin devs? npub13ndpm2hm9hud4azsq5euhf5mv3d05r90wymwxsd7rdn29609hhvqp60svh bitcoinerrorlog There's nothing worse about Core than it has been for years now. Nothing changed. Luke and Ocean are retarded anyway. Also, why is everyone pretending libbitcoin doesnt exist? You wanna support something meaningful? Fund Eric Voskuil. npub13ndpm2hm9hud4azsq5euhf5mv3d05r90wymwxsd7rdn29609hhvqp60svh bitcoinerrorlog She's a drunk useful idiot, always has been. npub13ndpm2hm9hud4azsq5euhf5mv3d05r90wymwxsd7rdn29609hhvqp60svh bitcoinerrorlog Nostr devs have less than zero interest in other solutions, even if they are strictly better. For a cult, being loyal is more important than progress. Note that his question could have been "What are some other interesting protocols that Nostr can learn from? What's new and cool out there?" npub13ndpm2hm9hud4azsq5euhf5mv3d05r90wymwxsd7rdn29609hhvqp60svh bitcoinerrorlog Devs hacking on disposable projects? npub13ndpm2hm9hud4azsq5euhf5mv3d05r90wymwxsd7rdn29609hhvqp60svh bitcoinerrorlog https://pubky.app/post/gujx6qd8ksydh1makdphd3bxu351d9b8waqka8hfg6q7hnqkxexo/0033YQYXVJ91G npub13ndpm2hm9hud4azsq5euhf5mv3d05r90wymwxsd7rdn29609hhvqp60svh bitcoinerrorlog Jeff Booth should watch this. https://youtu.be/I4C62HC1HSo?si=pXcLQ9ivx8_dNb2D npub13ndpm2hm9hud4azsq5euhf5mv3d05r90wymwxsd7rdn29609hhvqp60svh bitcoinerrorlog Grats! npub13ndpm2hm9hud4azsq5euhf5mv3d05r90wymwxsd7rdn29609hhvqp60svh bitcoinerrorlog Pubky is indeed already designed with long-term coordination in mind. Our open Semantic Social Graph method allows anyone to assemble any social graph view they want, and pull tag metadata from the sources. To do p2p voting you need this and more, whereas using Nostr would be extremely problematic because there is no data provenance. You'd lose votes, have censored votes, have no way to seprate real from fake users. Pubky, with PKDNS & SSG fixes that. We are not actively working specifically on voting use cases any time soon though, so someone else would need to work on that if people want it sooner. npub13ndpm2hm9hud4azsq5euhf5mv3d05r90wymwxsd7rdn29609hhvqp60svh bitcoinerrorlog You can search by name too, maybe Eron changed his name because i can't search him either. npub13ndpm2hm9hud4azsq5euhf5mv3d05r90wymwxsd7rdn29609hhvqp60svh bitcoinerrorlog Imagine if the first thing builders did with Bitcoin was make the desktop node wallet great. Imagine if the first thing builders did with Lightning was make the desktop node wallet great.

It's not the same thing as managing homeless or economic class wars, even if it may have derived from it. npub13ndpm2hm9hud4azsq5euhf5mv3d05r90wymwxsd7rdn29609hhvqp60svh bitcoinerrorlog I assume you used voice transcription? Some weird words contained :) npub13ndpm2hm9hud4azsq5euhf5mv3d05r90wymwxsd7rdn29609hhvqp60svh bitcoinerrorlog The mktg problem you describe appears to simply be that Nostr people are not interested in other technologies, to the point where they will invent reasons to hate them and speak badly of them, while knowing nothing about them at all. Real users of apps don't care what the protocols are called. Real users of protocols don't care what the apps are called. Neither of them genuinely cares if they are the same name. npub13ndpm2hm9hud4azsq5euhf5mv3d05r90wymwxsd7rdn29609hhvqp60svh bitcoinerrorlog Why do you think these things, they are not true. Pubky is entirely open source already, and people are already building their own apps. How can you comment on the architecture if you do not know it? The invite codes for the beta are just because our server isn't ready to handle abuse yet and there needs to be a first server right? Please get your information from better people, or get it yourself, it seems like you're learning through podcaster vibes or something? npub13ndpm2hm9hud4azsq5euhf5mv3d05r90wymwxsd7rdn29609hhvqp60svh bitcoinerrorlog Because Pubky is both protocol and an app. Nostr use cases are actually a subset of Pubky's, not the reverse, because Pubky also introduces discovery via PKDNS. npub13ndpm2hm9hud4azsq5euhf5mv3d05r90wymwxsd7rdn29609hhvqp60svh bitcoinerrorlog He'd probably add the nuance that he is totally open to effective ways to mitigate abuse, but that no one has presented them yet. People are only offering fake solutions, narratives, and discontent. npub13ndpm2hm9hud4azsq5euhf5mv3d05r90wymwxsd7rdn29609hhvqp60svh bitcoinerrorlog You are self-sabotaging, which is okay if your aren't qualified yet, but not okay if you are just making excuses. npub13ndpm2hm9hud4azsq5euhf5mv3d05r90wymwxsd7rdn29609hhvqp60svh bitcoinerrorlog The last thing we want is to spend our time reviewing more CVs. We do it because we must. We use BitcoinerJobs because it works. We hire full-time roles because serious products and orgs require an owner for all aspects. There's endless work and training endless people to do our work does not scale. The said, we also have some bounty projects available, but it is all specialized to our stack. npub13ndpm2hm9hud4azsq5euhf5mv3d05r90wymwxsd7rdn29609hhvqp60svh bitcoinerrorlog We have 3 great developer job opportunities open! - Developer Advocate - Rust - React / NextJS Apply here: https://bitcoinerjobs.com/company/synonym npub13ndpm2hm9hud4azsq5euhf5mv3d05r90wymwxsd7rdn29609hhvqp60svh bitcoinerrorlog https://pubky.app/post/oojdj73roegeh7r5h59s91qpn8g54j9u8j3q8fdguwy9hb1gy9ao/0033XAB9HE5T0 https://image.nostr.build/108fbfc92e739986d28207856586a122ff7170052634e4f74d5cdd912321a591.png npub13ndpm2hm9hud4azsq5euhf5mv3d05r90wymwxsd7rdn29609hhvqp60svh bitcoinerrorlog If your goal is prejudice, I can't stop that. I don't know why you think you have enough info about our work or our behavior, or why you're making predictions about us, but I understand this can be a tribal environment. If your goal is to learn about our work, and how it might be a step forward, then we are here to answer any questions, and we have provided as much documentation as we can so far. Everything is free, open source. We started public dev calls, we're hiring a developer advocate, etc, etc. I think judging us ignorantly would be a mistake, but it's your time! npub13ndpm2hm9hud4azsq5euhf5mv3d05r90wymwxsd7rdn29609hhvqp60svh bitcoinerrorlog My proposal is a bit different. Does not require a specific money or blockchain, and operates via specific mutual credit, not mints or DAOs, just individuals tracking debts of each other cryptographically. npub13ndpm2hm9hud4azsq5euhf5mv3d05r90wymwxsd7rdn29609hhvqp60svh bitcoinerrorlog The only code that isn't already public is App 2.0, which we will open next month... it just isn't really usable yet! npub13ndpm2hm9hud4azsq5euhf5mv3d05r90wymwxsd7rdn29609hhvqp60svh bitcoinerrorlog The app repo is the live beta app, but is undergoing a rewrite, so we warn about deprecation so people don't build on it. The new version will be ready next month. The invite code is because we are the only ones running a homeserver right now, and because it is a beta. Most importantly, all of the protocol is already open source, The parts you want to pay special attention to are the PKDNS/PKARR aspect, and how we are applying an open "semantic social graph." I'm happy to explain more, generally, it's more like Bluesky than Nostr, but distinct in various ways, including the two mentioned here. Pubky isn't just a social media app, it is part of a larger design to build out a free market society. npub13ndpm2hm9hud4azsq5euhf5mv3d05r90wymwxsd7rdn29609hhvqp60svh bitcoinerrorlog https://www.poberezkin.com/posts/2025-08-12-mls-the-naked-king-of-end-to-end-encryption.html npub13ndpm2hm9hud4azsq5euhf5mv3d05r90wymwxsd7rdn29609hhvqp60svh bitcoinerrorlog Because I explained the details they weren't interested. npub13ndpm2hm9hud4azsq5euhf5mv3d05r90wymwxsd7rdn29609hhvqp60svh bitcoinerrorlog We have 3 great developer job opportunities open at Synonym right now: - Developer Advocate - Rust - React / NextJS Apply at https://bitcoinerjobs.com/company/synonym npub13ndpm2hm9hud4azsq5euhf5mv3d05r90wymwxsd7rdn29609hhvqp60svh bitcoinerrorlog https://image.nostr.build/71b30227aa1105cdc4fa79dbd175df87523c9b9ca6237128c928d7b592eecdff.jpg npub13ndpm2hm9hud4azsq5euhf5mv3d05r90wymwxsd7rdn29609hhvqp60svh bitcoinerrorlog Bitcoin Does Not Scale: A Real Solution https://pubky.app/post/gujx6qd8ksydh1makdphd3bxu351d9b8waqka8hfg6q7hnqkxexo/0033WQ2A64RBG npub13ndpm2hm9hud4azsq5euhf5mv3d05r90wymwxsd7rdn29609hhvqp60svh bitcoinerrorlog Never gonna happen. npub13ndpm2hm9hud4azsq5euhf5mv3d05r90wymwxsd7rdn29609hhvqp60svh bitcoinerrorlog https://pubky.tech/ npub13ndpm2hm9hud4azsq5euhf5mv3d05r90wymwxsd7rdn29609hhvqp60svh bitcoinerrorlog Bitcoin does not scale.
