Trusting any select elite to maintain Bitcoin true to its mission (however you define that) is like trusting the government to maintain sound monetary policy.
Don't trust, verify
Slay your heroes
Stay humble, stack SATs

"Survival of the fittest" is a misinterpretation of evolutionary theory. The ones that survive are the fittest. If you die you die. Being the fittest today is not a guarantee of survival in the future. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results.
While cooperation is a long term trend, competition is the environmental pressure driver. Cooperate to what end? There is no assured final destination.
Bitcoin is not the first tool to allow that. It is just the best we've had in history.

Core v Knots is like any other political debate.
If any bitcoin implementation is to hold the status of reference implementation, I'll hold their maintainers and defenders to the same standards I hold politicians, bankers and CEOs, in that I dont trust them or what they say at face value.
Core crowd is behaving like the situation party, Knots like the oposition. People claiming their side is the source of truth are sheep.
The world is better with many implementations of bitcoin. Just like the world is better without a single central control goverment.
The world is better because both Core and Knots exist, but no one should trust whatever their supporters say at face value.
I am very skeptic of Core folks right now. I think they are failing miserably at making people feel at ease. While I understand that is not their core skill, because they hold a very privileged position as maintainers of the reference implementation, I do expect that thry try harder.

War and violence have been in a historical downtrend even before fiat and bitcoin as well. Humanity has been moving towards more peaceful conflict resolution systems for millennia. current armed conflicts, lasting decades are a consequence of fiat systems "protecting the economy" from any crisis at any cost, than war is just signed off as a crisis, instead of bad political work.

I disagree.
But I will say that it depends on what you mean by fix it. I think the use of violence will be attempted under a bitcoin standard. I also believe it will be proven VERY penalizing for the perpetrator.
Under a bitcoin standard the financial cost for wars is not as easily obfuscated.
Fiat protects the economy in times of crisis, war being a crisis, allowing for wars to last far beyond any ideological justification has degrated beyond public support, since objectives are not ever reached to completion.
Making it expensive is the fix. Its not about suddenly everyone forgets that violence is a thing.. it just makes sure that the incentives for violence are very small compared to peaceful conflict resolution, in the short and long terms.

I agree in sentiment.
but I don't think this could have gone down any differently. there was no way the us government would do Bitcoin only reserves. it's the best strategy in the long run for the country and people. but not for politicians. realistically, it was never going to happen.
for the hopeful, game theory will create the incentives for other nations to create their own portfolio.
then, I think Pierre said it best

to charge the elect representative for the campaign promises he made and to express discontentment with the current system and its processes can look very similar of the cause is just.

I might be projecting but that stance feels like a cope.
worst case scenario there is as much risk in developing on nostr as there is on going to the gym.

the problem I see in this reasoning then is how many generations? and how high a fee? with centralized mining, this is definitely a threat.
I don't think we're in doomsday scenario yet. and my guess is we'll see more mining pools rising to the occasion in the coming years, with governments and corps taking more of an interest. we'll have to see.

você acabou de descrever o caso de uso de hashtags. #nosbr
é importante considerar que:
1) existe usuários brasileiros
2) existe usuários que querem encontrar outros usuários brasileiros
3) existe usuários que querem ser encontrados por usuários buscando brasileiros
para garantir a intercessão entre esses 3 conjuntos, é necessário que exista alguna forma comum a todos de identificar esses usuários numa multidão.
daí #nosbr #nostr-br #brasil #portugues #portugues-br #pt-br #pt_br e por aí vai
numa rede descentralizada onde a responsabilidade por divulgar e encontrar conteúdo recai no usuário, depende dos usuários utilizarem a ferramenta a disposição para isso.

it's not about technological capabilities, it's about the technical skill required to maintain such a system on premise. most people do not have that skill. even torrent has evolved to use third party hosted services, think popcorn time, stramio. only by doing that they are able to reach broader audience

2024-08-28 06:27:07 UTC

torrent is not used by a broader audience or in any similar way to how social apps work.
there might be some use cases for p2p client/relay architecture, but it won't cover all that #nostr can be used for.

oh.. I was purposefully ignoring that. since I am allowing git to get all the references from the repo itself.
what is the perceived benefit of having state outside of the repo itself? git already does a good job figuring out states for itself. doesn't that open up the possibility of eventually consistent states when fetching?

2024-08-26 17:34:13 UTC

- reply

right, I skipped the nip-34 because I always need to fetch it. I was only focusing on the identity part because it is only required for uploading.
full flow starts with fetching the nip-34 announcement to get the actual remote url, because it can be a GitHub url, so before considering auth I need to check that. that's done for all commands.
for upload specifically, if the remote url is pointing to a relay that supports nip34, then I try to auth. and only then allow ssh to attempt to connect.
if connection is successfully, git and ssh will do the rest.

2024-08-26 14:55:43 UTC

- reply

to allow identity validation before ssh connection and push execution
then how that auth happens would depend on the relay. it can use a bunker, ssh ca, rolling keys, these are some of the ideas I had. I am trying to create a poc with rolling keys.
git push triggers AUTH flow,
helper sends an ssh pubkey with the auth event
relay validates identity of sender, registers key with local ssh server
on OK helper attempts ssh connection
everything else is git doing its own thing

are economic incentives the only ones we care about?
I kind of like the idea of conceptually distinguishing between clients and relays.
a client is an application that connects to relays to pull/push notes
a relay is a server that accepts connections and processes notes in the specified schema
those are abstract concepts. if an application implements both interfaces it's capable of P2P.
if you want to own your data, you need ro run a relay. isn't that where the incentives lie? the economic incentives are created by people who don't want to run their own relays.
I think the question then is: can only P2P exist? is there no room for something in between centralized platforms and P2P only?
