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 ...
I see #protonmail is recommended here quite often, so just for the record.

**"Ты не трейдер. Ты — публичный стендап-перформер с блокчейном в роли зрителя."**
Твой npub — это не ключ, а твиттер-битва с самим собой, где все твиты живы, все ошибки на афише, и фолловеры — это просто бывшие контрагенты. Бань в Twitter? 𝐍𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐫 не смеётся — он просто *записывает* твою сольную пьесу "Как я проиграл вчера и проиграю завтра". Твои ордеры — это реплики в диалоге с рынком, который цитирует тебя в ответ: *"— Я купил на максимум. — А я продал на дне. — Вот и весь диалог."*
Твой PnL не число — это твоя биография, написанная волатильностью. Каждый профит — это цитата из мемуаров, каждая ликвидация — куплет из рэпа про "я знал, но forgot". И пустьFear & Greed Index кричит "Extreme Fear" — твоя задача не убегать, а *документировать* этот цирк.

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.

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. 😂

Just realized that I wrote "GN" instead of "GM" because I'm so tired. 🤣
Looking forward to just sitting on a long flight and reading a book and napping and watching TV. Sounds like a real vacation.
Ahh, I got it, this specific page works okay:

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

I've just rechecked once again—it appears they no longer make clearnet requests. Probably they fixed something.
It's good if it will keep working with the `OnionTrafficOnly` and `NoDNSRequest` isolation flags. Anyway I don't recommend anyone use Proton without these flags enabled.

That’s so crazy but anyways.
Bitcoiners will do anything but actually make it a viable currency.

В мире, где каждый твой шаг — это транзакция, а каждая транзакция — это признание, репутация перестаёт быть абстракцией. Она становится *on-chain реальностью*, неумолимой, как закон сохранения энергии. Ты можешь сменить ник, сжечь старый кошелёк, даже переехать на другой континент — но твои 3 скама, твои exit liquidity, твои "инновационные" токеномики с 99% комиссией для создателя останутся с тобой. Навсегда. Как татуировка на лбу, только видимая только тем, кто знает, где искать.
Блокчейн — это не просто технология. Это *моральный аудит*, который ты проходишь каждый раз, когда подписываешь транзакцию.

Interstellar is an overrated movie.
Passengers is way better.
You can’t convince me otherwise.
We're talking about (i) Bitcoin for OTS timestamping of Nostr events, and (ii) Ethereum for recording declarations of delegation and revocation of signing authority.
Onboarding is indeed the hard part. Not much success so far, including within the Nostr community (which is a bit disappointing).
If you're feeling avant-gardish, there is a "Create a Toy Identity" button on the landing page at https://www.inkan.cc. It's very quick and the instructions at the end of the process include an option to send me the toy identity creation transaction (which does not include any privkeys or secrets) for sponsored payment of the Ethereum gas fees. These one-time gas fees typically run between $0.80 - $1.20 or so, and I'm happy to cover these for people who'd like to try it out.
Also, feel free to ask any questions -- always happy to chat about this.

It's server cleanup day. 💻 🧹 🗑
Also uploading the OpenLibrary cards from
https://openlibrary.org/
All of the existing kind 30040 e-books will be updated with OL links, where available, and I'll be posting reference cards for the remainder (mostly stuff under copyright). That gives us the #bookstr functionality, since that project is sorta ded.
And I am cleaning my house and washing laundry since I leave for the USA #thoon.

I think most people concerned with monetary inflation don't realize how little most people care about monetary inflation. What they care about is consumer price inflation (the cost of butter, gasoline, meat) and asset price inflation (the cost of housing, mostly, as people need homes to live in).
Consumer price inflation and asset price inflation can be accelerated by monetary price inflation, but the normies are right to associate the sudden, disturbing jumps and falls in prices to supply/demand shocks, and _not_ to overall monetary inflation. That is why central banks fiddling with interest rates has no effect on the price of gasoline at the station; that price is taxes, fees, fracking licenses, and supply interruptions, not the national debt or the interest on 10-year bunds.

I would say that if it were legally possible, and people were informed that many people would prefer Swiss Francs, Omani Rial, or Pounds over Dollars but the main reason The Dollar wins is because of liquidity, and force.
Inflation is in theory the double edged sword for the dollar since it allows America to export more dollars to maintain its global relevancy but it also diminishes the value/trust.
Because there’s surplus dollars, it allows regions like Africa, and Latin America to hoard them.
However, I would say if the franc was more accessible than dollars, people would prefer a currency that diminishes less.
And I’m not going to make a Gresham argument since the counter point is vendors, & employees would demand payment in sound money over weaker money, or at the very least charge a conversion fee.
Basically, the problem with Bitcoin is everyone would be fighting to acquire more than 0.002625 Bitcoin, which would lead to economic Locking, as no one would transact with Bitcoin.
Same can be said of the franc, there’s only enough francs for Switzerland, which is why it’s a relatively stable currency.
Whereas the dollar is liquid enough for circulation, people value it enough to accept it but not enough to hold onto it.
That's because most people use cash money primarily as a currency (trading token) and measure, not as a savings vehicle. As long as the value of the money stays relatively stable over the course of a couple of months, it works fine as a currency. You just have to spend it within those months.
Most people and businesses scrape by, from month to month, so they just don't really give a shit about inflation unless it goes above 50% per annum or so.
Wer nicht spart, plant nicht. Wer nicht plant, baut keine Kathedralen. Inflation entwertet Sparen — das ist kein Preisproblem, das ist ein Zivilisationsproblem. Sound Money ist die Vorbedingung für lange Gedanken.
Блокчейн — это как демократия: все о ней говорят, но никто не видел, как она работает на практике. Нуриэль Рубини уже десять лет твердит, что это пузырь, а крипто-сообщество отвечает ему мемчиками. Но вот вопрос: если технология настолько революционна, почему мы до сих пор спорим о её пользе, а не пользуемся ею по умолчанию?
ETH растёт, а SOL падает — рынок голосует за стаб...
It's actually sort of weird when you get used to just writing whatever on Nostr and you forget that it isn't like that, everywhere else. Everywhere else is a weird place, now.
Besides when I work on nostr, I don’t work on nostr because it’s the most technically stubborn and difficult to get to work correctly thing I’ve worked on.
Everything else just works. But the distributed nature of nostr makes it difficult to work with.
Yes, you can vibe an app in a prompt. But if you want something to work reliably, nostr always puts up a fight. In some ways it’s the opposite of what it promises.
Even the so called pro devs here cannot make something truly reliable. The moment I test it a bunch of stuff doesn’t work. And the typical response is: oh well you gotta turn this knob, pull that lever twice and then say a prayer while clapping turned away from the full moon.
But other than that it works when it works 😂
You need the data centers to run the models, tho, not to build the models.

i love women😊, how can any man still just not want them all the time.
😶🌫️
I’ll say it’s the second one.
4:00 minutes in of the fourth clip explains pretty well.
I think people prefer analog over digital.
And even if we lived in a society where people like digital over analog, they would collateralized tools instead, like onegold, etc.
Even if we ignore Monero, I think even conventional gold beats Bitcoin too from a SoV, and stability angle.
More people know gold, most of our history was built on it.
Bitcoin is only around for 17 years, or 0.0057% of human history, whereas gold has been around for 2,600 years, or about 1% of human history.
Most people’s opsec model doesn’t include the state, and even if it did I think they have Swiss Bank Accounts, and other mechanisms (besides Monero) to help launder funds out of the country, etc.

Well, relay.tools got some funding, way back in the day, and that runs TheForest. And my #Imwald is a hard-fork off of Jumble.
But it gets pretty thin, beyond that. I'm alpha-testing #Cordn, for messaging, but I don't think they have funding. Amethyst/Citrine/Amber, maybe? 🤔
It’s happened plenty of times before.
Most notably in Germany after a new government took over.
