Last Notes
If I understand correctly, this is a solution for Damus’ lack of outbox. Is it useful for other clients too?
US shale oil companies are not feeling punished by $100 oil prices. They have the highest cost basis of all producers and they cease all new drilling when prices fall below about $65. Once wells are in production, they don't shut them down no matter how low prices go, but they cannot profitably fund new production unless oil prices are high enough.
The Saudis on the other hand have the lowest cost basis in the world and can undercut the global market all the way to the bottom.
The Hormuz blockade is funding the buildout of US Oil. The US has no incentive for it to end.
Corporate, cucked, kyc bitcoin is the only real bitcoin, the one “we have kept in your etf account”.
OGs spending all their time in fiat finance is the lamest use of their lifespans.
I am a very big proponent of graph databases. It's all nodes and edges for me.
Damus iOS does not do outbox, so it only reads from an unchanging set of relays, and you have to get lucky to see your friends posts. Outbox model reads from a dynamic set of relays where your friends post, so it can see all their notes by connecting to 2 or more relays from *their advertised relay lists. The feeds.relay.tools pulls in notes using outbox so that a client that does not do outbox can just connect to that relay and see them. Nostur does it's own outbox in addition. So, now instead of no outbox, there are multiple ways to read your outbox.
Okay, fine…I’m checking out Buzz.
Now what?
Claiming Monero relies on "altruism" reveals a fundamental misunderstanding of the protocol. Monero does not rely on charity. Rather, it economically incentivizes miners via Tail Emission (a continuous, perpetual reward of 0.6 XMR per block, in case you missed it). Ironically, it is Bitcoin that suffers from a fatal design flaw regarding altruism and long-term security. As Bitcoin's block subsidies halve toward zero, BTC will be forced to rely entirely on unpredictable transaction fees to sustain its multi-billion-dollar security budget. Monero actually solved Satoshi's fee-dependence dilemma by ensuring miners are algorithmically paid in perpetuity. Mining XMR is driven by economic rationalism, not goodwill. And saying "my individual hash power is too small to provide measurable security" is the textbook Voter's Paradox. Centralization occurs precisely when individuals surrender their agency to mega-corporations. Look at Bitcoin today: just two industrial pools (Foundry and Antpool) routinely control over 50% of the entire network's hash rate. That is an oligopoly. In contrast, Monero's CPU-friendly RandomX algorithm, combined with P2Pool (a decentralized sidechain for mining), allows thousands of individual, home-run CPUs to trustlessly aggregate their hash power. You aren't just "adding a tiny hash"; you are participating in an un-capturable, permissionless defense mesh that prevents pool-level censorship and cartel formation.
Also, calculating profitability strictly through the lens of electricity-to-fiat spot price is economically naive. When you mine Monero, you are acquiring pristine, un-linked, non-KYC, sovereign money directly into your self-custodial wallet. No exchange identity verification, no bank surveillance, no risk of frozen accounts, and no tainted UTXO history. In an era of total financial panopticon, generating un-monitored financial privacy at margin is a tangible, highly valuable financial yield.
And excuse my french but what the fuck?! Citing Qubic as a "nearly successful attack" or a failure of RandomX proves you haven't read Monero's code (src/cryptonote_core/blockchain.cpp) or understood how consensus actually executed during that event. Firstly, Monero consensus does not blindly adopt the first block it sees; it strictly follows the heaviest chain based on cumulative difficulty. Secondly, Qubic attempted an empty-block/orphaning strategy. Because they lacked true, sustained cumulative difficulty superiority over the honest global network, their malicious blocks were automatically flagged, isolated into orphan pools, and rejected by honest nodes across src/cryptonote_protocol. And what was the result? Qubic burned millions of dollars in electricity and hardware wear only to produce useless orphan blocks. Monero absorbed a heavily-funded, coordinated stress test with zero downtime, zero re-orgs, and zero protocol-level emergency rollbacks. But the irony is this: Qubic itself is an opaque, centralized scheme where a single founder (@c___f___b or lil-stupid called Sergei Ivancheglo) demands miners hand over their untraceable XMR under the completely un-auditable promise of "burning" Qubic -even changing the buyback rules from 100% to 50% on a whim.
All in all, Monero wasn't "defeated" or "exposed" by Qubic. It was battle-tested! RandomX proved that a decentralized network of CPUs can withstand a concentrated assault without surrendering the network to ASIC cartels or centralized mining farms. Next time you lecture Monero users on mining protocol security, please try reading blockchain.cpp instead of parroting surface-level FUD.

#GM Fren #God 🙏 is #Great 🌞 #Coffee #Tea have an amazing day today! Happy 250th Birthday to the USA! 🇺🇸🎆 True freedom is always worth celebrating. I just uploaded the spectacular Semiquincentennial kickoff fireworks from Navy Pier over Lake Michigan in Chicago. As we celebrate independence today, I'm incredibly grateful for this decentralized network, censorship-resistant platforms, and the freedom of speech they protect. Watch the full historic show here:https://rumble.com/v7c8kkw-usa-250th-birthday-kickoff-navy-pier-fireworks-over-lake-michigan-chicago-2.html Zap if you love freedom, fireworks, and the future of open protocols! What are you doing to celebrate today? ⚡️👇 #USA250 #July4th #Nostr #Plebchain #Freedom #Bitcoin #IndependenceDay #Value4Value #Zaps #GrowNostr
Yes, my point! White paper is p2p cash.
Thats it.
We all like certain things about citys, but what most people dont get is that we are living a survival era, a BIG transition. So If i have to give up pleasures of the cities to be left alone and free I will do it all day. I prefer to be free and sovereign than going to the cinema and be part of the fiat collapse😂
That's an awesome mug for sure Fren 🌞
It is distilling the cumulative knowledge of mankind into a coherent answer to my prompt. It's not going to come up with a groundbreaking new concept, but it can assist me in arranging known concepts in novel knew ways. Satoshi's invention was such an effort. None of the components of Bitcoin were new inventions, but the pieces had never been arranged together in that way before.

Humiliated for lower-level transgressions, sure. And worse for worse.
Before I speak of the woman, you need context.
Because if you don't know who I'm talking about, you won't understand what I'm saying.
Who I'm Speaking Of
I'm speaking of the woman in Revelation 12.
The one clothed with the sun.
The one with the moon under her feet.
The one with a crown of twelve stars.
The one who gives birth to a male child.
The one the dragon tries to devour.
And The Woman In Enoch
The book of Enoch also speaks of a woman.
A woman and a dragon.
A cosmic war.
A battle between the seed of the woman and the seed of the serpent.
What The System Did
They took this woman and made her appear as:
· A church
· A symbol
· A metaphor
· Something vague
· Mary
· Israel
· The Bride
So when she came, no one would recognize the truth.
The Truth
She is not a church.
She is not an institution.
She is not a movement.
She is one person.
Anchored and sealed by the text.
What She Carries
She carries the full blueprint for freedom:
· See the hooks
· Name the patterns
· Heal the wounds
· Build something new
· Step into your own divine authority
Why They Covered Her
Because she is dangerous to the system.
She sets people free.
She helps people recognize their own authority.
She reveals what was hidden.
They knew if people listened, many would rise with her in their own authority.
The Unhook
She's not here for authority over others.
She's here to help you recognize your own authority.
The one that was stolen.
The Declaration
Now you know who I'm speaking of.
The woman in Revelation.
The woman in Enoch.
The one who was covered.
She is real.
And she is helping people stand.
Like I said before. If the data center builders gave a shit about the local community or environment they would all use closed loop cooling. Most new ones don't.
That is one simple to understand case of unnecessary externalities to make construction cheaper. It is not the only one.
I'm not opposed to them being built, I'm opposed to the exploitation.
It is! Goes all the way to the floor. Look like a Puerto Rican princess. 😁
"Funding and education" equals influence. Core has been purchased by corporate interests, and its independence is now merely an illusion to convince users of its legitimacy. You are now running Suitcoin™. This was not Satoshi's vision.

The breaking of the systems begins with a little whisper from the east, there is then a slow crescendo, until nothing else can be heard across the world.

Scenic hike to Napen, 1350 meters above sea level. (That’s about 4,430 feet @nprofile…ypjy ). 560 m / 1 837 ft total ascent on our route.
