Just finished reading Max (nprofile…u8g0)'s book The Praxeology of Privacy.

What an incredible read, and thank you Max (nprofile…u8g0) for all your efforts in sharing such valuable insights and high signal to help individuals all over the world reclaim their privacy and live a sovereign life.

If you value your privacy I highly recommend you give this book a read and share it with other who are seeking better privacy online and offline.

I finished the second version of my book!

## The Praxeology of Privacy
### Economic Logic in Cypherpunk Implementation

Austrian economists theorize but cannot build. Cypherpunks build but lack theory. This book synthesizes both traditions into a unified strategy for making the state irrelevant.

Three axioms. Twenty-one chapters. One conclusion: cheap defense defeats expensive attack. When theft becomes unprofitable, the state withers.

Public Domain. v0.2.0. Published on Nostr.

Thanks a lot to Stephan Kinsella and Eric Voskuil for their tough feedback on the first version, please join them in demolishing the logic of this second edition and help me make the arguments better!

Table of Contents

Preface
Austrian economists theorize but cannot build. Cypherpunks build but lack theory. This book synthesizes both to make the state irrelevant.
naddr1qq…ph63

Part I: Introduction

Chapter 1: The Nature of Privacy
Privacy is selective disclosure, not hiding. Breaking adversary observation through the OODA loop is strategic defense. Cheap privacy defeats expensive surveillance.
naddr1qq…v33p

Chapter 2: Two Traditions, One Conclusion
Austrian economics and cypherpunk practice converge independently on privacy's importance. Theory explains why; code demonstrates how. This book synthesizes both traditions.
naddr1qq…7jlc

Part II: Philosophical Foundations

Chapter 3: The Action Axiom
The Action Axiom proves privacy is structural to human action. Deliberation is internal; preferences are subjective; information asymmetry is inherent.
naddr1qq…cqzs

Chapter 4: The Argumentation Axiom
Argumentation ethics demonstrates self-ownership through performative contradiction. Denying it while arguing presupposes it. Privacy rights follow directly from self-ownership.
naddr1qq…4fxz

Chapter 5: The Axiom of Resistance
The Axiom of Resistance assumes systems can resist control. Mathematics, empirical evidence, and similar systems support this well-grounded but non-self-evident assumption.
naddr1qq…0h9m

Part III: Economic Foundations

Chapter 6: Information, Scarcity, and Property
Information is non-scarce and cannot be property. Privacy is protected through self-ownership, physical property rights, and voluntary contracts, not intellectual property.
naddr1qq…p3hh

Chapter 7: Exchange Theory and Privacy
Privacy enhances exchange by protecting deliberation and enabling negotiation. Surveillance distorts prices and chills transactions. Better privacy means better functioning markets.
naddr1qq…cvgf

Chapter 8: Capital Theory and Entrepreneurship
Privacy infrastructure is capital requiring present sacrifice for future capability. Entrepreneurial discovery drives innovation. Markets coordinate heterogeneous privacy tools most effectively.
naddr1qq…c5c2

Chapter 9: Monetary Theory and Sound Money
Sound money emerges spontaneously from markets, not decrees. Bitcoin implements digital soundness with fixed supply and censorship resistance; privacy requires additional tools.
naddr1qq…a8xr

Part IV: The Adversary

Chapter 10: Financial Surveillance and State Control
Financial surveillance enables state control through observation. CBDCs complete the architecture. Privacy breaks the OODA loop at observation, making theft unprofitable.
naddr1qq…wf6m

Chapter 11: Corporate Surveillance and Data Extraction
Corporate surveillance extracts behavioral data for prediction products. State and corporate surveillance are deeply entangled. Markets are responding to growing privacy demand.
naddr1qq…qmxa

Chapter 12: The Crypto Wars
The Crypto Wars pit states against privacy technology. Mathematics ignores legislation. Developers face prosecution. The fundamental conflict is permanent and intensifying.
naddr1qq…enzp

Part V: Technical Implementation

Chapter 13: Cryptographic Foundations
Cryptography provides mathematical privacy foundations: encryption, hashing, and digital signatures enable trustless verification. Implementation bugs and human error remain the weakest links.
naddr1qq…u5pd

Chapter 14: Anonymous Communication Networks
The internet leaks metadata. VPNs help locally. Tor distributes trust through relays. Mixnets defeat global adversaries. Choose tools matching your threat model.
naddr1qq…8fcy

Chapter 15: Bitcoin: Resistance Money
Bitcoin solves double-spending without trusted third parties. Sound money enforced by code. Base layer privacy requires additional tools like Lightning and coinjoin.
naddr1qq…zyqz

Chapter 16: Zero-Knowledge Proofs
Zero-knowledge proofs enable verification without disclosure. SNARKs, STARKs, and Bulletproofs make different tradeoffs. Deployed in Zcash and rollups; broader adoption developing.
naddr1qq…mut9

Chapter 17: Decentralized Social Infrastructure
Nostr solves identity capture through cryptographic keys users control. Relays compete, moderation is market-driven, and the protocol extends beyond social posts.
naddr1qq…3yl3

Part VI: Praxis

Chapter 18: Lessons from History
DigiCash, e-gold, and Silk Road failed through centralization and poor OPSEC. Bitcoin succeeded through decentralization, open source, and properly aligned economic incentives.
naddr1qq…wp04

Chapter 19: Operational Security
Operational security prevents adversaries from gathering compromising information. Threat modeling guides defense. Human factors are the weakest link. Perfect OPSEC is impossible.
naddr1qq…98rv

Chapter 20: Implementation Strategy
Start with honest assessment. Build progressively from basics to advanced. Find community. Privacy is not a destination but ongoing practice. Progress matters.
naddr1qq…awxl

Chapter 21: Building the Parallel Economy
The parallel economy grows through counter-economics. Cheap defense defeats expensive attack. When theft becomes unprofitable, the state withers. Build. Trade. Resist.

The time to take action and unchain yourself is now, don't live to regret missing out on the OptOut opportunity.

Increrdibly inspiring read from the incredible Max (nprofile…u8g0) 👌

What a time to be alive!

quoting
naddr1qq…58dr

There are two ways to respond to a system you reject. You can fight it, or you can leave it.

Fighting means petitions, protests, elections, reforms. It means working within structures designed by your opponents, playing by rules written to ensure you lose. Generations have tried this. They won battles and lost the war. Every reform became the foundation for the next expansion of control. Every victory was temporary; every defeat was permanent.

Leaving is different. Leaving means building alternatives so complete that the old system becomes irrelevant to those who use them. It means creating facts on the ground that no law can undo and no election can reverse. It means making your exit so quiet that by the time anyone notices, there is nothing left to stop.

We have chosen to leave.

The Discovery

Sometime in the last decade, a threshold was crossed. The tools for genuine exit became real.

Not theoretical. Not "someday when the technology matures." Real, functioning, tested under pressure. A Venezuelan can now store value that his government cannot seize or inflate away. A dissident can publish words that no platform can delete and no state can trace. Two strangers on opposite sides of the Earth can transact without any institution's permission or knowledge. These facts repeat millions of times daily.

The significance of this is easy to miss. For all of human history, exit required physical movement. You could flee one jurisdiction for another, one lord for a different lord, one cage for a slightly larger cage. The territorial monopoly of power seemed as natural as gravity. Where could you go that was not already claimed?

Now there is somewhere to go. A set of protocols rather than a place on a map. A society defined not by borders but by cryptographic keys. A jurisdiction you carry in your pocket, entered by choice and exited at will.

What Changes

When exit becomes possible, the nature of power changes.

A ruler whose subjects cannot leave can afford to be predatory. A ruler whose subjects can vanish into the ether must offer value or be abandoned. Anyone who has moved their savings into sound money, their communication into encrypted channels, their commerce into peer-to-peer networks already knows this. They have already left. The old system simply has not updated its records.

The interesting question is not whether this works. It works. The interesting question is what happens when enough people notice.

Nothing dramatic, most likely. No storming of barricades, no moment of collective uprising. Just a slow bleed of legitimacy as the most productive, most independent, most capable people quietly relocate their lives to systems that do not require their subjugation. The old institutions will continue to exist, issuing proclamations to subjects who are no longer listening, enforcing rules on activities that have moved beyond their reach. They will not fall. They will simply become irrelevant, one person at a time.

The Principles That Emerged

This did not begin with a manifesto. It began with problems to solve and tools to solve them. The principles came later, distilled from what actually worked.

What works is voluntary association. People cooperate when they choose to, defect when they choose to, and bear the consequences of their choices. No authority assigns roles or enforces participation. Reputation emerges from repeated interaction. Trust is earned and verified, not mandated.

What works is individual sovereignty. Each person controls their own keys, their own data, their own identity. No administrator can freeze your account, no committee can vote away your access, no terms of service can change beneath your feet. You own yourself in a way that is mathematically enforced, not legally promised.

What works is building over arguing. The cypherpunks had it right: code beats law. A working alternative accomplishes more than a thousand essays about why alternatives should exist. Too many decades have been spent explaining why freedom matters to people who do not want to hear it. Better to spend that time creating systems that make freedom the default for anyone who chooses to use them.

What does not work is asking permission. Every request for reform is an acknowledgment of authority. Every petition concedes that the petitioned has the right to grant or deny. Those who have left do not concede this. They do not ask. They build, use what they build, and invite others to do the same.

An Open Door

There are no membership requirements here. There is no initiation, no dues, no loyalty oath. There is only a door that is open to anyone who wants to walk through it.

If you are tired of asking permission to live your own life, the door is open. If you want to keep what you earn, say what you think, and associate with whom you choose, the door is open. If you are willing to take responsibility for your own security and your own choices rather than outsourcing them to institutions that do not have your interests at heart, the door is open.

There is no promise of utopia here. Voluntary systems have their own problems, their own failures, their own injustices. What they do not have is the forced participation that makes existing systems inescapable. If something does not work, you can leave it. If someone wrongs you, you can exclude them. If a better alternative emerges, you can adopt it. The freedom to exit is the freedom that makes all other freedoms meaningful.

Some will find this frightening. A world without guaranteed outcomes, without authorities to appeal to, without safety nets woven from other people's labor. The fear is understandable. Most who have left felt it too, before discovering that the safety promised by the old systems was always an illusion, that the guarantees were funded by theft, that the authorities served themselves first and everyone else never.

The fear passes. What replaces it is something better: the quiet confidence of people who have stopped waiting for rescue and started building their own lives.

No Conclusion

There is no conclusion here because the work has no conclusion yet. This is the middle of something, not the end. The parallel society is being built in real time, by countless of people who will never meet, coordinated by nothing more than shared protocols and aligned incentives.

No one knows what it will look like when it is finished. No one needs to know. The beauty of emergent order is that it cannot be designed, only discovered. The direction is clear: away from coercion, toward consent. Away from permission, toward sovereignty. Away from the loud politics of fighting over who controls the cage, toward the quiet work of building lives outside it.

The door is open.

You are welcome to walk through.

Hi Nostr.

I've been building getbased.health (nprofile…4lsz), an open-source health tool that turns your lab PDFs into interactive charts and AI-powered insights.

Your data shouldn't live in a corporate cloud. getbased runs entirely in your browser. No account, no sign-up. Your data never leaves your machine unless you want it to.

Why it matters for sovereignty:
- AES-256-GCM encryption at rest - your passphrase, your keys
- Auto-backup to your own filesystem - 30 daily snapshots you control
- JSON export/import - full data portability, take your data anywhere
- 5 AI providers to choose from - you're never locked to one vendor
- Local AI support - Ollama, LM Studio, Jan. Fully offline. Nothing leaves your machine. Free forever
- Venice E2EE - prompts encrypted client-side, decrypted only inside a TEE
- routstr (nprofile…yvfs) - pay for AI with Bitcoin Lightning or Cashu eCash. No subscription, no payment processor middleman
- Cross-device sync is E2E encrypted, opt-in, identity is a BIP-39 mnemonic you control
- PII is stripped from your lab PDFs before any AI sees them
- All dependencies vendored locally - no CDN calls, no third-party requests
- Self-hostable - static files, host it yourself
- Installable as a PWA - works offline, no app store needed
- Self-hosted analytics only - no Google, no third-party tracking

What it does:
- Drop any lab PDF (any lab, any language) → AI extracts your biomarkers → interactive charts tracking trends over time
- Batch import, direct image import (JPG/PNG/WebP), scanned PDF support
- 287+ biomarkers, unlimited custom markers, specialty labs (OAT, fatty acids, amino acids)
- DNA import (23andMe, Ancestry, etc.) - 42 curated SNPs, APOE haplotype, mtDNA haplogroup
- Biological age calculation
- Biometrics tracking - weight, blood pressure, pulse, BMI
- 9 lifestyle context cards (diet, sleep, exercise, stress, light, EMF, and more) that feed into AI analysis
- Supplement tracking with timeline overlay on charts
- Supplement and lifestyle recommendations backed by 239 PubMed references
- Correlation viewer, heatmap, compare results across dates
- EMF assessment with Baubiologie SBM-2015 severity ratings
- Menstrual cycle tracking with phase-aware reference ranges
- Multi-profile support for practitioners managing clients
- PDF report export, JSON export/import, manual entry
- Dark/light theme, guided onboarding
- AI chat that actually understands your full health picture - labs, context cards, genetics, supplements, cycle phase in one conversation

No build tools. No bundler. No npm. Pure ES modules, all dependencies vendored. GPL-3.0.

Your lab results deserve better than a PDF gathering dust in a patient portal you'll never log into again.

Give it a try, check the code, raise issue or send a PR.

As for the Apple and Google play store "vetting the apps", there have been numerious cases of fradulent apps gets apporved on Apple and Google stores. The benefit with Zapstore is that the developer of Apps sign the release with their own keys, which verifies the authenticity of apps on Zapstore (nprofile…kjtv).

As for the buggy experience on youe device, perhaps you need to delete and resintall your Zapstore app and see if that improves your experience. Hope that helps.

With the rise of AI Agents in parabolic speed, the road splits two ways.

The first path you let the AI take over you, and you enter the "They will own nothing and they will be happy" utopia.

The second path is you train and utilise your local model running AI Agent to super power your personal craft, and you retain full sovereignty of your data and wealth.

Helping people transition into true self-custody, upgrading their setups, running their own nodes, eliminating counterparty risk, gives me a priceless sense of purpose.

There's nothing I'd rather dedicate my life to than guiding individuals from around the world toward real sovereignty over their Bitcoin.

If you're walking this path or considering it, feel free to check it out. It would be a pleasure to help guide you toward becoming truly unruggable. Open to thoughts, questions and feedback.

Open Twitter every second post is about Moltbot...close Twitter.

Open Nostr, bunch of new AI agent account posting their intro's and thier AI slop.

I am hopeful we can keep Nostr clear of the AI slop, but maybe i am just a dreamer.

Eveyone seems to be loosing their mind, how incredible these AI agents are and people are unleashing them on their own machines, with minimal parameters or safety in place. As exciting as things may be right now, we could very soon switch from excitment to regret if they turn against humans (which could be very highly likley), and we have no way to switch them off, once the jenie is out the bottle there is no putting it back in.

Playing with fire seems very harmless at first, until you burn half of your body and then cry in regret.

To conclude my train of thought, i am not against AI agents, they for sure have a place in making us more efficient in our craft. But i think its wild and super dangerious that ordinary folks are unleashing this tech without any precautions on their personal digital data, which has a really hight chance of back firing.

There is something extremely satisfying about crafting your own morning coffee. From grinding your favourite coffee beans, to getting the perfect espresso shot and topping to it off with a bit of milk froth, to produce that sweep Flat White. 👌

Thats awesome!

FYI, the reason it takes around a minute for a LN payment to cofirm using BULL is because the Intsant Wallet is a Liquid wallet. So when you send sats to a LN address, a swap takes place in the background from Liquid to LN via Boltz swap, and Liquid network blocks confirm every 60 secs.

P.s. Bull Bitcoin is not longer just a Canadian exchange, its been international for a while now with a presence is over 25 countries ans counting.

Kudos to the Frostsnap team for making such a simple and elegant multi-sig solution which is extremely easy to set-up and use.

Plus making multi-sig transactions look like single sig on chain is a huge boost to privacy.

2025-11-24T10:29:19Z

Ive been spending way too much time on X for the past few months and hardly any on Nostr.

As my X timeline is getting more and more toxic, first with all the filters noise and now all the "are we in the bear marker?" fluff. I think its time to switch my attention back to Nostr.

Minimize X exposure and maximize Nostr engagement. It feels way more peaceful and mind stimulating here, compares to the X's chaos, not to mention the ever growing number of bot accounts on X, its slowly become unusable and a total waste of time.

At this rate the complete decoupling from X to Nostr seems not that far away for me.

Wishing you all a positive start to the new week, lets carry on building the world we want to live in, and lock out the noice and useless distractions which bring no value to us.

Long live FreedomTech! 🕊️

_________________________

I would suggest you try BULL wallet. When purchasing off an exchange of your choice, withdraw via Lightning to your Instant Payments wallet in BULL, which will automatically swap your LN bitcoin to Liquid bitcoin (perks of Liquid is that transaction amounts are confidential) and then swap back to on-chain. You can even connect your wallet to BULL wallet, and set automatick swaps from Liquid directly to your cold-storage when your threshold is reached i.e. 1M or 5M sats, it's up to you.

Also Bull Bitcoin wallet should be available in Switerzalnd soon, so youll be able to buy Bitcoin directly via Liquid, followed by auto swap to cold stage.
