Can someone recommend the best Torrent sites for books about bitcoin?
Thanks.

I can't speak for the whole planet but I know the story in the US, it was the aftermath of old fashioned slavery. Here's a post I posted about it a while ago

COVID is a deadly virus Americans pretend stopped being a pandemic, because Americans are cattle and their owners said the pandemic is over

This was a good lesson to learn, thank you for helping me get there
Thanks everyone for the great discussion and awesome feedback. I have updated the Nostr Silent Payments gist with important security caveats.
Keep in mind, the use case I am aiming for is not social media, but, rather, digital trade where there might be millions maybe billions of npubs from agents and devices that need to trade and make payments - and be verifiably attributed npub->payment address.
FWIW, this is what I was aiming for with a Cashu/Lightning stack. But this is far more simpler and does not require any operating payment infrastructure (nodes, mints, etc). It does require a trusted scanning infrastructure, but that is a tradeoff that I am willing to explore.

I agree totally, if that is your security posture.
This post brings me happiness. You can only truly recognize how meaningful everyone's contributions are if that includes your own. 🫡
A greater question is why am I taxed for anything at all…
Why am I paying for the war against me at all?

So the privacy is still only downstream? It reads ironic to me, but this whole thing may be going over my head so apologies if it is.
The address tying inputs to you is public. The outputs being private only changes the payment graph after the point.
Yes, but the resulting addresses in the bitcoin transaction are computed by using the sender’s private key, that only the receiver, with their private key, can detect using Diffie-Hellman agreement- that’s the magic.
But even sp address being derived from the npub; isn't it still deterministic and computable from the npub by anyone, which is the whole part of doxxcoin we are trying to avoid in the first place?
