LLMs suck at actually understanding your request, do things you don’t intend, or resolve ambiguities in weird ways.
So what if we invented a language that could specify precisely what we want to happen, in what way? So that it was impossible to be misinterpreted.
Everything would be exactly as you intended, but there is still a probabilistic LLM that could misinterpret it, and is wildly inefficient.
What if we made something new, that can follow the rules of this formal language without errors and fully deterministically? And it would be much faster than an LLM.
This way, we could easily do tons of things quickly. We could even make specialized equipment for the sole purpose of executing these languages!
And, it would be tedious to re-specify everything we want ourselves, expecially when someone else did. So we could have abstractions, and “ready to use” definitions, similar to a library.
And there could be so much more…

The FIDO standard explicitly prohibits attestation with an anonymity set less than 100K

We do not block Tor so it is likely a defect with your Tor setup instead. I’d also recommend adding aggr.nostr.land to your relay list for reliability, also saves the need to subscribe to filter

Yes, also, good news

Why use omp when you can just pi

No motive, monetary cost, and easily blocked. What is the point?!

I wonder who is paying for all the tokens to run these slopbots?

“yes you are (assuming correctly)”
Yes, people can and have made bots that pretend to be useful that they then abuse to make spambots bypass WoT.
There alsl are WoT algos that use personal mutes and reports (which can be abused; for example Calle trying to silence Cashu critics) to automatically hide content

core vs knots is just another way that you are allowing yourself to be divided and fighting like dogs
both sides are fucking you over in real time and telling you that the other side will cause unthinkable horrors

If there was a significant interest in this data being available, I would be willing to take over the maintenance of a new nostr.band stats and other pages when I have alternative services ready.

Try editing your profile and to then remove a character, ensuring you are writing to Damus and nos.lol relay. Then wait 10 mins
This will be improved pretty soon

on Lightning, there is a unique ID attached to any payment
anyone on the path knows the amount of the payment and the payment ID, and which node it is going to and coming from
using certain heuristics, it is possible to identify recipients, and senders with high accuracy, by only controlling some of the nodes on the path, which can be achieved by well funded chain analysis entities #note1k6z…h3kr

Primal doesn’t even read a single event from the relays you added.
Shame
