Why won’t miners support a fork that increases the total supply of bitcoin to maintain block subsidies? I feel like its because it hurts the main value proposition of the thing they are mining, but is there anything else that might dissuade miners from a move

"If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their Fathers conquered.... I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies.... The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs."

Exactly, the whole underlying policy is a mess. I was just making the point that its going to hurt some of the very goals our government claims they are championing. But you won’t see the anger about this, because its still too abstract for any average person to know that they will never own anything.

I completely agree, my general problem with the entire thing is really that the US has hinged its entire middle class’ life quality on the dream of owning a home. And its quickly fading for literally anyone outside the top 15%.

Rare politically charged post Rudy Nutstink.
Where is race rage on the demographics of home buyers in 2023? The singular US policy to help middle class families save is investing in a home. Everything else is fairly out of reach and risky. And they have made that savings vehicle so unaffordable they are effectively cutting people who are black and hispanic out of this one hope of storing value. The wealth disparity among races will not shrink, and will in fact grow because of this. And the government will not shoulder the blame for this horrendous policy when all is said and done.

Thats a great story and I think individual stories are not without their own merit. But I am talking about the large majority of the next generation. And my claim isn’t even that their test scores are lower, or their behaviors are erratic and unacceptable (which they are). They lack basic intuition on almost anything. They have all had their dopamine receptors fried by age 4 and can’t muster any level of interest in understanding something that isn’t immediately apparent to them. We have overwhelmed our children with path of least resistance and now they don’t know anything outside of that.
Good parenting at home has been the only thing that is saving children from this really doomish future. But it’s surprisingly a lot smaller of a cohort than you would think.
These are definitely judgements, but its what I have been able to gather watching my wife teach in the public school system these last few years. Covid lockdowns did a number on our society.

I think with most nascent technology, the user experience lacks and can be quite rough around the edges. The nostr network is very young but onto something good. Clients like the primal app have bridged major gaps in the experience and so its just going to take great engineers to build a better experience.
For tiktok, a client that resembles that same style of scrollable video feed would be a great start to make the newcomers stick, and I would bet someone is already hitting the ground running on that.
But really for users of the network, its just going to take a lot willpower until those upgrades come. Its a very grassroots movement and if you are lucky enough to hang with it through that time, you will see something really amazing grow. Just gonna take time!

2024-03-20 02:41:04 UTC

Not buying that the tiktokers are here and are just loving it way way more than tiktok. Lets not be naive.

Is there a telegram or something where I can ask other nostr devs things? I think I am onto a really good idea

2024-03-19 02:59:20 UTC

- reply

This all works well for the content consumer, but create a discovery problem for the content creators. For folks looking for reach, they have to pick the best pay walled relay. And thats not great for decentralization.
Other thoughts would be to integrate some sort of follow + connect to private relay.
For instance if I were some big shot like Lyn Alden. I would run my own relay to own my own data. Then I would connect to popular client relays for discoverability, buy my posts would only go to my private relay. And when you follow me, you get an automatic connection my relay. Maybe a one time zap to do it to prevent spam connections.

2024-03-19 02:51:47 UTC

- reply

Or maybe scratch the whole zaps go to them. I just offer the fact the content is worth something. Or that they can build their own. Maybe a paid relay should be offering the people something more. Create a competition. Relays may actually need to broker deals with content creators. Bring some capitalism to nostr.

2024-03-19 02:49:31 UTC

- reply

Some possible solutions to this:
A whitelist deal? Reach out to a popular paid relay (cough cough 🍷) and ask them for free lifetime connection if the lightning address for zaps goes to their wallet. Now they can make these content bots a part of the suite of content you get when you connect?
But this creates centralization… oi

2024-03-19 02:46:12 UTC

- reply

On one hand, this adds costs to spam bots thus limiting their reach and probably how things should be.
On another hand, my little bot friends that bring me content, will be just that. Only for me, bc it otherwise will cost me $10 per bot per year to get them on a paid relay. I know its not much, but its not a cost I am willing to volunteer just to unlock the value for everyone else.

2024-03-19 02:42:53 UTC

I had read that a paid relay gets content more engagement and reach and I don’t fully understand why. But @npub180c…h6w6's experiment obviously displays thats difference.
I am torn how I feel about it.

They judge this with a metric called tps (transactions per second) and its very flawed. But that being said, on the base layer XRP has orders of magnitude more capacity like 7 tps vs 3000 tps.
Lightning can theoretically handle millions per second, though this is limited in a way by the base layer entry.
Lastly, other chains beat out bitcoin on base layer speed because bitcoin doesn’t compromise decentralization for performance enhancements which cryptos like XRP have done unashamedly.

I saw a post tn that really does have me thinking. “Be the change you want to see in the world”
bitcoiners are good at this generally, but there is still a good number of prominent bitcoiners latched to the reach they get on twitter. Lot’s of arguments to be made, but this move to decentralized social media is incredibly important for the future of freedom of speech. We should urge these bitcoiners to move exclusively to nostr (or at least make a tool that lets them post to both).

2024-03-17 02:22:29 UTC

I totally agree with this. We have some very prominent bitcoiners that tried nostr and have since gone back to their old ways (I did this too though I am a pleb), but we should urge them to force this move like @npub1qny…95gx and @npub1der…xzpc did.

The creator of nostr @npub180c…h6w6 has also done work in the bitcoin community. Lots of bitcoiners are the open source contributors to these clients and have even took implementing features like “zaps” which are micropayments denominated in sats (smallest bits of bitcoins) paid over the lightning network (instant and feeless)
You can zap someone as small as 1 sat (fraction of a cent) if you like.

Any client can be banned. For instance I am writing this note from the primal app. But there are dozens of other clients like Damus, Nostur, Snort, and more all plugged into the nostr network. And that network can’t be banned because all of these notes are being relayed by nodes (servers) being run by individuals like myself. Think of it like a giant game of whack-a-mole for try and ban it.
