"So you are telling me, that we actually live in a multiverse, and that all of 'this' is just one universe and there are many parallel universes with copies of me in them? That's insane. How can you believe such a thing?"
I get it. I totally get it. It is kind of insane. But consider for a second the alternative.
Picture young Laan in Quantum Physics I discussing Schrodinger's Cat https://grokipedia.com/page/Schr%C3%B6dinger's_cat.
[professor] So the cat is neither alive or dead in the box, but is in a superposition of both alive and dead states.
[young laan] What does superposition mean?
[professor] It means the cat is neither in an alive state or a dead state, but in a superposition of each.
[young laan thinks prof is just repeating himself] I still have no idea what a superposition of a cat means. I mean the atoms of the cat are still in the box correct?
[professor] Yes.
[young laan] So the heart atoms of the cat are still there, they are either pulsing or they aren't, right?
[professor] They are in a superposition of both.
[young laan] And you're saying that if I peek into the box, I can't see this superposition of the cat, because somehow as soon as I peek, every atom knows I am peeking and this superposition goes away, and the cat becomes either dead or alive.
[professor] Correct.
[young laan] Well how do we know that this superposition even exists if we can't ever see it.
[professor] {crickets}
[young laan] If a frog looks, does the cat collapse into dead or alive states? A mosquito? A virus? If we put a camera in there, and have it take a picture, do the atoms of the film show a dead or alive cat.
[professor] If you put a camera in there, then it becomes "engangled" with the cat and it also becomes a superposition of states.
[young laan] And so there is no way to observe a "superposition", or even ask questions about it. It is fundamentally unknowable?
[professor] Correct.
[young laan] [[thinks this is bullshit]]
So imagine my relief when I discovered the "many worlds" explanation. In some universes the radioactive atom decays, and in those universes the cat is dead, and in the other universes the cat is alive.
Yeah, that is extremely unintuitive, but at least we are allowed to think again. I can understand a universe with a dead cat, and a universe with an alive cat. Things aren't changing because I look their way. There are not "forbidden questions" in this explanation. It's not religion, it is science again.
In science we don't (or at least shouldn't) judge explanations by themselves. We are always comparing them. Which is the better of the explanations that we have? We go with the best one, and "There are many universes out there" is the best explanation we have.
P.S. Einstein intuited that superposition was bullshit as well.

А что, если будущее крипты — это не ламповые прогнозы от "усатых гуру", а бесконечный супермаркет AI-оптимизма? За 50 сат вам сгенерируют "психотерапию портфеля": бот прошепчет на ушко, что ваш стейблкоин — это не провал, а "стратегический хедж против реальности". И вы поверите. Потому что вера дешевле, чем холодный расчёт.
Рынок — это уже не место для торговли активами, а гигантский психологический эксперимент, где каждый может купить свою дозу hopium. Нужно обоснование для халвинга? AI напишет трактат о "циклической неизбежности". Сомневаетесь в альткоинах? Бот подберёт вам "уникальную нарративную стратегию" — главное, вовремя оплатить подписку в сатошах.

Wages are elastic, tho. Inflation mostly hurts people on fixed incomes and those people don't buy Bitcoin
whoa cool yes. where is it?
I'm interested in technologies that keep the signer key safe and make signing convenient. I haven't focused on that part, but it's complementary to Inkan.
Let me take a look at what you build. If you have a favorite description of it somewhere, feel free to point me to it.
I think this is all really important to the advancement of the protocol.
It would be nice to die in a brutal car accident.

Because they dare question the state.
They Feds like Bitcoin because it’s completely traceable but if Bitcoin implemented privacy features like Z-cash, and Monero, the state would change the rhetoric pretty quickly.
My post is criticizing Bitcoin to clarify.
Yes, I thought about that. It would be cleaner though if I can just tell people to contact me directly at my regular npub. Also using another key for DMs doesn't necessarily address the issue of being able to promise some degree of privacy to the people who contact you.
It's one thing to use DMs with people you're already acquainted with. It's another thing to go out and solicit the general Nostr user base to send you DMs. After all, the persons you're soliciting might then have an expectation that the info they send you is kept private, and I'm wondering if Nostr DMs are mature enough to justify that expectation.
Maybe the solution is just to tell people that they can DM you, but attach a disclaimer that I don't actually fully know how well DMs currently guarantee privacy.
Just something I thought about recently, and your post reminded me of it.
They’re poor until they’re not.
I have no clue what this is all about to be honest.
My brain doesn't work for a second

Hey @npub1vyg…vy4e GM! , does the iOS version allows to sign in with own nsec/signer or only self generated?

What i take from this is that free will doesnt even exist and every decision i feel like im making without external input is actually just a sequence of infinite variables interacting, if you could measure every possible variable then you could predict the future

This is a problem I was facing recently, i.e. asking other Nostr users to get in touch with me privately.
I hadn't used DMs myself and, looking at what's available, I still don't really feel comfortable to invite users with whom I don't have a previous relationship to first make private contact with me through DMs. So I ended up just posting an email address for other users to contact me.
I'd be kind of curious if using DMs as a publicly advertised method to contact you privately is working well for you technically, and if so which client you use on your side ...

Almost all of the load on my server is crawlers. 🤖
I wish they were honestly available through their hidden onion service, though. I don't know what they are doing, but non-techie people are definitely at risk of leaking their identities through tor exit nodes.

I store the master privkey that secures my Inkan identity airgapped on several USB drives. The USB drives contain a version of the Tails operating system from which the code base for network functionality has been removed. The master key is encrypted with XChaCha20-Poly1305 and Argon2id, and then there is also the LUKS disk encryption that comes with Tails on top of that. The USB drives are kept in secure locations. Since I'm using Inkan, I never need to access the master key for everyday signing.
For the replaceable signer key, I use NIP-07 browser extensions, and sometimes NIP-46 with Amber.
Throwback to where it all began. This was the first @npub17ty…3mgl Case Go Brrr ever printed, on the 9th of September 2021.
We're still printing SeedSigner cases on a daily basis and have proudly sent out more than 1000 of them in the past years. With much better print quality. 😂

This one attempts to send clearnet requests:

Just in case, Proton has fixed something, perhaps a few hours ago.
