I've done 0 research to give anything solid. I borrowed a friend's Craftsman model because he needed some tools from me and it's been great. I wouldn't be mad if it's what I ended up with because it's done a fine job.

It's not redistributing. The existing Bitcoin will continue to exist unaffected. This is just about creating something totally new. Anyone can create things and this is what it looks like.

Agreed on distinguishing keys vs value. Satoshi will never have value on the ehash network so how will it be theft? How do you take something that doesn't exist by the network rules?

Satoshi's stake is very, very relevant. Assuming it's controlled by the NSA then this fork takes the control of those coins away from the NSA inside this new network. If you assume Paul is part of the NSA, or some other attacking force, then this reassigns the value from Satoshi to potentially new entrants that might be government aligned. Regardless Satoshi's stake is very relevant.

I have a different vision for where the economics land. I don't think we'll ever see complete tail risk collapse. We'll see an adjustment over the adoption period where adoption of the new network is driving the value (where I believe we are now) but I don't think this leads to hoard and grow value.
I believe after adoption wave completes and we arrive at the top of the S curve, Bitcoin's price will remain cyclically volatile as people move out corn for economic activity and back in as economic activity produces results. I think the value of Bitcoin will likely look like what free money should look like with booms and busts constantly based on market conditions opposed to what we see now with dollar based fed management. I think that's far more zulm (I hope I'm using this right as I had to look it up and might be totally off usage) as the merits of each individual's foresight determines the value of their wealth through economic movements.

Where does Satoshi ever lose his stake? He will still control the same Bitcoin the day after the fork that he does today.

It certainly could have been designed otherwise but the design choice of supply didn't guarantee the price increase per token. Arguably it could have caused later investors to never take the risk of the network and never invest causing the coins to remain worthless. Only from our past tense vision can we see the increase. At the time it was a worthless network. In terms of Halal there's no interest in the actual coinage so I can't understand where it would be Haram on simply a changing value but I'm not muslim and would love to hear more.

2026-04-24 18:03:06 CEST

- reply

I don't follow the interest pattern on the corn at all. It didn't bear interest on corn, in fact monetarily, early mining didn't even give you anything since most tokens in the true early days were worthless, monetarily, at the time.

2026-04-24 17:45:19 CEST

- reply

I couldn't agree more about the halving. It's the only thing that keeps Bitcoin, Bitcoin imo. Otherwise outsized capital investments would have ruined Bitcoin's ownership share leaving existing capital structure control of the network. Thankfully the early miners have more corn to throw around to control where the network rules end up falling.

2026-04-24 17:37:29 CEST

- reply

I'll mostly disagree on this one. The network was announced early and anyone could have joined the mining process and Satoshi didn't give himself a set of coins just because. I don't think of other's disregard for early mining the same as a premine.

2026-04-24 17:34:34 CEST

- reply

Exactly my thought. It's a premine that only certain people get access to. That doesn't make it righteous but certainly not theft or even remotely close IMO.

The divergence is what creates the new network of existence. There's currently no network that defines that private key holding value within the rule ecosystem of eCash. The eCash ecosystem won't start until their fork date so there's no history on that network because the network itself doesn't exist. Satoshi won't lose anything because even when eCash begins he will never go from 1 to 0. He will always be at 0.
Even if Paul says it's a reassignment that's not theft because he isn't taking anything from anyone. He's just saying that if you want to play in his ecosystem this will be the starting rules and Satoshi won't get to play in it nad instead Satoshi's stake will be offered as an investment oppurtunity.
I view this equivalent to a company that has been running for 10 years where all the employees decide that the owner doesn't contribute and decides let's create a new company that does the same thing and we're going to give every employee other than the owner the same share in this new company. They've not stolen anything from the original company. They've just decided we'll start a new company using our existing corporate stakes as the defining factor for the newly formed company.

Do you have access to the keys for the address you sent your bcash to? It should not be lost if you do.

2026-04-24 16:42:01 CEST

- reply

If you'd be so kind, please explain the logic of theft then for something that doesn't exist before the rules of existence define it. Satoshi's private key will never hold coins in that network. How did he endure a loss of anything if it never existed?

2026-04-24 15:59:33 CEST

- reply

I disagree from my limited understanding.
If this is a planned fork then the coins on that network don't yet exist. Choosing what pattern you want to create for stake distribution of a fork isn't stealing if the network never existed to express ownership stake on.

Yeah and they had a hosted API wallet service before doing hardware wallets.

I just pushed out nostr.blue 0.8.1
The main change in this release is the new image viewer with an improved lightbox. The lightbox now properly tracks image dimensions for better pan and zoom behavior, and there were a number of viewport fixes to make the experience feel smoother. It should handle zooming and panning around images much more naturally now.
This release also adds persistence to AI chat conversations. Now when you start a conversation and switch back into your feed, when you come back to the chat all your conversations should still be there.
There's a number of other bug fixes throughout the update as well. As always, if you run into issues or have ideas for improvements, please send them over. A lot of what gets fixed in these releases comes directly from your feedback.

I just pushed out nostr.blue 0.8.0
The biggest change in this release is that nostr.blue is now multi-platform. Up to now, nostr.blue has only been a web app, but 0.8.0 adds native builds for Android and Linux. That is a pretty major step for the project and a lot of the work in this release went into making the app behave properly across platforms instead of only in the browser.
The initial Android release already supports a lot of what I wanted it to. It includes the main social client experience, mobile based NIP-55 signing, media playback, livestream viewing, media controls and a lot of platform-specific fixes to make it feel usable on a phone. For now the apk is available on Github and I plan to add it to zapstore in the coming days.
This release also adds an AI chat page. The idea there is to make it easier to experiment with AI conversations inside nostr.blue without having to leave the app or jump between different tools. It is still early and I expect it to keep evolving, but the foundation is now there and it opens the door for tighter integrations and more useful workflows over time.
A big part of 0.8.0 was also just hardening the app overall. There were a lot of race condition fixes, async/state handling fixes, platform-specific cleanup and review-driven bug fixes across the codebase. Search and upload state handling were cleaned up as well, and a lot of smaller UX regressions got addressed along the way.
As always, if you run into issues or have ideas for improvements, please send them over. A lot of what gets fixed in these releases comes directly from your feedback.
