How should crypto companies authenticate their users without email? Consider users may have wallets associated to their accounts, and may to recover their access in case they forget their password.

Thanks, brother. I'm looking more into Thorchain. Looks promising, but I'm not sure yet if that's what I am looking for. Seems like it only works connected to specific wallets?
I'm interested in something like this:
You own Bitcoins /Ethereum? -> Send it to this intermediate wallet then -> Automatically swapped to this new Monero wallet -> Here are your seed keys.

Thanks for the explanation, brother. Still there are so many questions in my mind if you don't mind me asking. How can I be sure the user logging in my platform is the same one that registered? I mean, what if someone uses someone else's npub to login? My understanding of nostr protocol is small, from what I've read, if someone has your npub he can load all your posts, but can't post as you if he doesn't have your nsec. How can I certify it without asking for nsec? Does your code allow npub:password pair or only a nostr "signer" app? Regarding NIP-98, I see it was only a draft, none of the relays I use for example support it. Will I need to host a nostr relay that support NIP-98 for the users?

Grok 4.5 on Cursor is proving itself way more effective in debugging code than GPT 5.5.
Very frequently GPT suggests changes that doesn't even pass the compiler, then asking it to fix the errors caused by itself, it forgets the goal of the original prompt and starts chasing its tail until complete hallucination.

Yes, running a private node is quite simple, although if you plan making it public, some hardening is advised.

The incredible #twitter phenomenon which they hide your posts and likes even from yourself.
I'm so shadow banned on that platform, I can't even see some of my own posts.
Try it yourself: in the app, delete all your posts, replies and likes, you might not be able to zero the counter even after you delete everything.
Then, request that an archive with all your data be sent to you. It will arrive in your e-mail days later. You can open the archive in a browser and see all your posts and likes, including the hidden ones. The hidden posts are still there, if you copy the direct link to it from the archive, you can still load them in a browser. It's just not normally visible to anyone.
My KYCed profile I used to tweet since 2009 has 21 posts and over 8000 likes hidden. One thing I noticed is that the hidden content started from mid 2020, shortly after the pandemic started. It also coincided with the time when impressions and engagement to my posts plummeted. My posts used to get thousand of views and at least dozens of likes, then tanked to 0 to 20 views and 0 to 2 likes (from the profiles tagged in the post).
If no one is reading my posts, then at least I will be posting them on #Nostr.

I LOLed at the face of my manager when he said I should be more proactive and communicative. The guy even said I could be fired if I don't improve it. Bitch, try it, I will be doing the exact same work to the same customers but making more in a day than the company pays me in a month.
It's funny how clueless managers are. They don't even know what they are managing, but somehow they always have this "boss" attitude. It may scare someone younger, more naive or someone who desperately needs the money, but it will not work with me. Why not just talk like adults who belong to the same team?
Talking too much doesn't solve a problem. Acting too fast hurts assertivity. If you want an instant response, you can always use GPT, I just can't guarantee it will solve the customer's problem.

#Monero mining performance of my rig's new CPU:
Stock: 20,5 kH/s
+EXPO: 21,5 kH/s
+PBO+CO: 22,5 kH/s
Simply turning EXPO profile on the memory added 5% to hashrate without any increase in temperature or power draw.
PBO added another 5%, at the cost of drawing more power. I haven't measured it, therefore it's unclear if the difference in energy consumption is worth the additional hashrate. More power naturally leads to higher temperatures. At 24°C ambient, temps while mining were ~77°C before PBO, then ~88°C after PBO and Curve Optimizer at -15 mV. At operational system level, power profile at Balance and Performance were similar, while Economy dropped hashrate to stock levels, while keeping temps at 60°C and noise at near silent levels.

Monerobros understand that is vital to create an ecosystem around it to enable a circular crypto economy.
Governments are against real cryptos and forced exchanges to delist it, making onramps more difficult. So ideally users should earn the coin directly and spend it, peer to peer, using dApps.
Meanwhile, Bitcoinbros were glazed by number going up, pumped by tether (fake USD) and ETFs (paper Bitcoin).

Looking good!
More important than design though is the app's trustworthiness. How do you plan of dealing with bots and scammers?
For example, a first time user requesting a ride, and the driver who accepts the ride is actually an Indian using GPS spoofing? It will ruin that users experience with the app and he'll never try it again.
Another example, let's say the payment only happens at the end of the trip, and the rider cancels the trip right at the end? Drivers will get mad and never offer their services again.

I'm vibecoding an app, the backend is written in Rust. And it's great because if it compiles after a code change suggestion, then almost certainly it works.

Rust compiler errors are quite helpful and often one doesn't even need additional prompts to fix them.

Email is my priority now, before its too late because of age verification laws. Most suggestions I received were Protonmail, Tutamail and Mailbox.org.

Getting rid of gmail is one of the most difficult but important things one can do for a sovereign digital life. It has been my main email for almost two decades. Most of my logins are associated with it, including many services I don't even remember registering.
Most people suggest simply moving to protonmail but although it may be the easiest path, I don't think that's a true solution for the problem. Proton deletes your account if you don't log in the app or via browser for more than 1 year. Imagine being in a comma or simply having a busy/bad year and bam all you had is lost. Tutamail is even worse, it happens in 6 months. The email provider I used when I started mining Bitcoin in 2009 deleted my email where I stored the wallet seed in 2012, to save less than 100 MB on their server. It would be way better if I had backed up in a CD. Imagine how much important data one can easily lose trusting an email provider with inactivity deletion of one year or less.
The best approach for this problem IMHO is having your own domain, hosting your own email server and regularly backing up in your own physical media. However that's too difficult for the vast majority. And the majority also don't think it's necessary, and don't care about Google asking for ID or facial recognition.

Broke-ass nigga will hash around 2kH/s while rich rude will hash around 20kH/s. OK, that's one order of magnitude more, but still negligible at the grand scheme of things.

The problem with fiat inflation is that you simply can't trust it. Each institution has a different way to calculate it, one will measure certain things but leave other things off the calculation, another one will average things with arbitrary weights, so on. Central banks and governments have interest in manipulating prices in a way that doesn't align with the interest of the people most of the time. For example, they will print money to keep the stock marketing from crashing, but that will make housing unaffordable, or will print money to keep gas prices low but then unexpectedly electricity prices soar.
But the solution for that in a cryptocurrency is not fixing a hard cap on supply as Bitcoin does. Many of those that were early in Bitcoin, for example who mined it before ASICs arrived, lost their wallets. It will happen to many as well, to be victims of floods or hurricanes, and that paper were they wrote the seed phrase will disintegrate. The drive with that txt will fail, that encrypted file will get corrupted, that email will be hacked or deleted due to inactivity. And one of the biggest problems with crypto right now, in my opinion: many will lose their lives without passing the wealth of their whole life to their loved ones.
Lost coins in a hard capped cryptocurrency means it is actually deflationary. We have never lived in a deflationary society. It can be actually way worse than low, controlled inflation. If everyone knows for certain their coins will always be worth more the next day, the incentive is to save the most. They who spend are dumb and will be mocked by holders. Minimum spending means economic activity will slow down, less jobs will be created and people will earn less. That's just something no one want.
Tail emission in Monero is a brilliant way to solve at least part of the problems caused by lost coins. I still want to see how the cryptocurrency community will deal with wills and inheritance, without compromising self-custody.

Terrorists are the ones attacking civilians. Israelis are bombing civilians so they are the terrorists. No matter how many lines of text you write to try to deceive others, no one can hide the truth, jew.
