Heads up, I have "block newly registered domains" configured in my NextDNS site, so I can't resolve flare.pub.
For the future, might be good to register the domain a little while before the launch to avoid this.

#72Heads up, I have "block newly registered domains" configured in my NextDNS site, so I can't resolve flare.pub. For the future, might be good to register the domain a little while before the launch to avoid this.
How long should the domain be up not to be considered new?

#73Makes 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.
LBRY is doing just fine* with Odyssey.com * as fine as an alt-YouTube ever does
It's https://odysee.com by the way, did make me think they closed down for a sec.

> decentralized anything never works at scale I'm pretty impressed by this thing called 'the internet'.
While your point is valid, I think the "propagate all ledger entries to all nodes" kind of decentralized is different than the "route around broken nodes" kind of decentralized. I'm guessing GP meant the former not the latter.

#75I didn't know what nostr was, so I clicked the link[1] and I found this gem:
> Because Nostr accounts are based on public-key cryptography it's easy to verify messages were really sent by the user in question.
If you think asymmetric encryption makes anything easy, you're missing the point.
If you have a reliable way to know other peoples public keys, and there's a way to repudiate them, asymmetric encryption can make things somewhat secure (that is, until private keys get stolen and after the theft has been detected), but that's a very big “if”, and getting a decent UX generally involves some kind of centralization, be it keybase or Certificate Authorities.

The problem with decentralized is more of UX and latency than moderation, IMO. Just look at Mastodon. The issue is not the crazy content you get from time to time. What’s annoying is waiting for media to appear on your timeline and explaining newcomers that they must choose a server and the double @@ thing. The second is a one-time thing at signup and perhaps surpassable. The first is a deal breaker. Anyone used to I…
Here i was thinking TikTok was broken by not doing it.

#78Fascinating to me that religious weird conspiracy posts are almost immediately the largest portion of videos.

Nostr is a protocol for the decentralized sharing of Notes and Other Stuff (Through Relays). Nostr uses private keys for accounts, and nsec is such a key.

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.
Agreed, though Satoshi isn't a prophet or messiah. Just a pseudonym.
