So how will you cope with DMCA takedown requests and what will you do when all major medias companies will sue your ass? You may try to pretend it is not your content and explain how the protocol works and all that but as long as you will host a frontend and own the domain name you will be considered the one to sue.

Yep. Same problems as torrent trackers and search engines. Even only having magnet links did not save site operators.

Torrent search engines still exist, DMCA notwithstanding.

decentralized anything never works at scale, this is what all the techie founders never grasp. what happens if someone uploads a child porn video or cartel beheading video on your website? because of your algorithm ll stack things by watch time it ll get to the front page in no time.

As evidenced by how Fediverse works (Mastodon for example); The networks actively ban bad acting networks, have very active set of moderators on each network, etc. How is this any different from centralized thing?

The Nostr website basically makes fun of this aspect of Mastodon.

From what I understand of nostr, if there is CP or hate speech etc. the relays would be incentivised to remove it in the same way say a collection of PHPBB forums would be if someone uploaded it there. Not sure on the legalities though, in terms of if the relays are liable. Not sure if all relays would support video. So to be guaranteed to keep your video you would need ti self host. Which is technical and/or a monthly cost if someone makes it convenient.

I don’t think Nostr is like blockchain where you cant remove or mutate data. Although a spammer might make it hard.

How does Bitcoin cope with the fact that the DVD key (and probably a few other interesting things) are stored on the blockchain?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

> “Given the nature of nostr, users cannot recover from a leaked private key and must take greater precaution than they would with a username/password combination.” This is a complete dealbreaker for any end-user product. I don’t understand why crypto/blockchain fans still think it can work.

ah physical key has the same properties and end-users seems to have been accepting that just fine for hundreds of years

I can easily change my house keys. Even when someone makes a copy of it.

I just used something called “the internet” to read your message. As opposed to one of those corporate owned networks for computer-like devices from the eighties.

Nothing in the decentralized design prevents an host from blocking one video. By "we can't strike, shadow-ban, or demonetize you just because we disagree", he simply meant that the net prevents that. Like tor, a relay cannot be held liable for content on the tor network.

Er… how long since the last exit node SWAT raid?

Makes me wonder if LBRY went with Lightning instead of creating a shitcoin token they would probably still be around today and maybe even integrating with Nostr.

My quasi-skeptic approach to cryptocurrency:

- Build it without crypto

- If you build it with crypto, base it off Bitcoin.

Anything else might as well be a product based on a pump-and-dump shitcoin. There is only one cryptocurrency, and Satoshi is its prophet.

Except BitTorrent which been going strong for 20 years now...
