I would want horcrux (or any kind of account recovery) built in, ideally. Marking contacts to assist in account recovery belongs with contact management i think

No, nothing. Kind of waiting on Horcrux to mature so you can mark accounts to help with account recovery somehow

Maybe the key to being less Online is to develop systems in which identities are more disposable. The more static the identity, the more obsessed people are with how it looks. When it becomes too rigid, it creates a kind of shadow.
Maybe IRC users don’t need pubkeys after all.

IRC’s identity and auth situation is wacky, but the ephemeral live hangout is very intuitive and fun.
Nostr fixes the identity situation very simply, but the signed and gossiped messages are working against the ephemeral live concept.

I always thought the Pubky people were right about that. Just trust the server, don’t trust every single post. But maybe there is a middle ground where people can sign every individual post if it’s something important. Like selective verification

Also, the app developer should be the one that owns the lexicon functionality. AtProto has that right. They are the ones that want to use the lexicon. So let them support it for their users.
Meanwhile, the expectation of NIP functionality is forced onto relays. Insane because Nostr relays were supposed to be dumb.

2026-07-27 20:00:27 CEST

- reply

It’s very different from NIPs.
For one, lexicons have no pretense that there is or will be interoperability. They assume that there isn’t, in fact. But lexicons do assume that at least one developer is using them (it’s under their namespace).
NIPs are the opposite. They assume interoperability, but in reality zero apps are using them.
There is only hell if we impose it upon ourselves. Basically, it’s all about expectations and ownership. Nostr does both terribly.

2026-07-16 20:15:17 CEST

Thinking about user reviews of things. The world has basically settled on a few databases / API’s for everything.
Books, openlibrary. Movies, TMDB. Etc. There’s common IDs for most of these objects. Even businesses are incorporated with ID’s, right?
We only need clients to easily let users’ browse and find the objects they want to speak about. Then you have your social graph recommendation / curation engine.

> Also not that the obnoxious Monero folks aren't actually going to stop nagging once there is Monero on Rootstock, because they could have build that already
Idk how many times I need to say this, but Monero users have zero incentive to build Monero on Rootstock. None.
It is Rootstock advocates that say Monero can/should be built on Rootstock.

2026-07-08 18:03:04 CEST

- reply

As I understand it, essentially all of a Monero miner's revenue comes from the tail emission subsidy, not from fees. But isn’t all of this irrelevant when Monero-on-Rootstock would use Rootstock’s fee structures and not Monero’s?

2026-07-08 16:03:17 CEST

- reply

Are you saying that there is no demand on Monero? It’s a third of the transaction volume of bitcoin. How are you measuring demand again?

2026-07-07 15:23:36 CEST

- reply

It’s definitely two different pathways. ASIC-resistance is also a moving target. So more updates needed, more reliance on the core developers. Current Monero algorithm seems to have lasted fairly long though surprisingly.

2026-07-07 15:13:02 CEST

- reply

If I understand correctly, you’re saying that Bitcoiners would build Monero on rootstock if it would increase demand for bitcoin?
Something to consider is that Monero has 30% of the daily transactions volume of Bitcoin despite being only 0.5% of the price of Bitcoin. The usage/volume is the proof. No “belief” needs to be involved.
Why is the volume on Monero so high and why is it so low on mixers and other privacy tech? Probably because those are little fiddly tools that are error prone and make people feel like perverts. Monero is just simple like regular cash. Monero feels normal. Take that with a grain of salt but it’s my theory as to why people like it.
You are one of the people that says Monero can just be sidechain on Bitcoin. I never said that. I’m just replying to your idea like, “sure, that sounds great”. It wasn’t my idea in the first place. Again, Monero people have zero incentive to build this. Meanwhile Bitcoiners would be adding 100k more daily transactions to their usage.

2026-07-06 18:42:24 CEST

- reply

It is in the interest of Bitcoiners to build Monero on Rootstock. They have a vested interest in doing so.
Why is the onus then pushed on Monero people to build on Rootstock? What is their incentive?

2026-07-05 18:32:17 CEST

- reply

> No he wouldn't because he would rather complain
All three of us are telling you that we would use it and you’re telling us that we would not… what is going on here lol
What does it mean that someone ported tornado cash to rootstock? The mixer? How does someone use it? The reason Monero rocks is because it’s essentially impossible to “use it wrong”. We don’t want privacy tools, we just want money

I would like to see a Nostr app focused almost exclusively on contact management. A Rolodex for “permissionless phone numbers”.

What is easier on bitcoin though: someone with infinite resources hiding their transactions, or someone with almost no resources hiding their transactions?
Again, this idea that bitcoin is intentionally designed to make small transactions private and larger ones public just isn’t true. It will be easy for a state to have the best tools for privacy and difficult for a poor individual to have them.
