Yes. But Israel and the UAE have not totally shut down the internet.
Meh, that's mostly a mischaracterization I think. Bulletproofs as originally conceived was a valuable addition to the mix; it didn't have succinct verification so it couldn't *directly* compete with Groth16 and other pairing based schemes but it did have: no trusted setup and no assumptions outside of ECDLP. The other option was STARKs but the proof sizes were large. The verification scaling being bad was addressed in HALO and HALO2 with some rather clever tweaks, keeping the no-trusted-setup property while getting succinct verification. So nowadays it's a general class of algorithms see "folding schemes", "inner product arguments" and those can be flavours of zkSNARK; bulletproofs literally purely as originally written, yes, is rarely used, although perhaps occasionally still finds a use - an example is Curve Trees, which you mention. But it's also a paradigm which continues to be used in more sophisticated forms. Perhaps a confusion here is you were thinking about 'bulletproofs for confidential transactions via range proofs' (still used in Monero) as opposed to 'bulletproofs as a general ZKP system' (which was in the original paper).
Quantum scare season started again?

Just making sure, I sometimes step over the line unintentionally 😬
I've learned a bit personally, and from others who've been here longer, that people gonna leave :( Network effects are hard to bootstrap, I guess 🥲
A supposedly cool place for all the rad cats to post about how cool they are so they can get hired the next rung up the ladder until they become the Max-bro or brodette CEO or some such bs.

They say: turn your passion into a job and you’ll never work a day in your life.
But you’ll be exhausted every single day.
I have thought about this for a while.
The Illuminati only platforms libertarians That make us look bad. Everyone else goes on a shelf.
If you ask nicely Bundeswehr might allow you to go there again.
I'll read it, relax, just being cheeky 😔
You guys are talking about the temporary name change? I honestly don't know... I guess it's like the word snorkel, so a hard R, for the time being
people have wondered for thousands of years why ship masts disappear last going over the horizon and why the same stars look different in the S hemisphere.
it isn't that the truth is impossible to know.
it's that people can't think critically and differentiate bullshit from fact.
willful ignorance is an understandable, but ultimately lazy point of view.
Trump openly states that the official strategy is war crimes in order to identify patriots and purge?
Ahh, maybe he and I are both shadowbanned? 🤔
Or, it's just some growing pains of nostr haha.
I've found it's good to use more than one client, at any rate. I'll always (probably, though I'm hoping some improvements come soon) like Damus since it's what I got used to first, and it's fast and handles threads the best, but I like Jumble desktop, and visit Nostur, Yaki, and Primal on mobile as well.
GM nostr!
Don't forget people arm wave about slavery whilst paying taxes. 🤡
Nostr has plenty of ways to publish.
What it lacks is publishing infrastructure.
Not just “post at 3pm”, but actual workflows:
draft → queue → follow-up → recycle
Better publishing workflows help creators stay consistent.
And consistent creators give people a reason to open Nostr again tomorrow.

What kind of fruit trees?
All that planting is a better workout than most workouts.
They’re really sweet. I got to see an early version, I’m sure it even better now.

I have programmed and am terrible at it. I spent years as a software designer and having the creative ideas and battling stubborn programmers held things back and was frustraing. Im now vibe coding an app and when dine, will pass it to a friend whos a fucking ace coder on hus fourth start up. Itll save him all the bullshit of trying to understand what am trying to achieve. I know i need someone to look over whatthe AI does. Working on oil rigs, i saw numerous people get badly injured from misusing tools. Used correctly, they worked fine

I'm not stacking hard enough because I still keep my "Hank of the Month" subscription with GondekEDC.
IDC, because eventually I'll orange pill them and I'll spend and replace after paying in SATs.
New Hank day is one of my favorite days each month.
