Question for any nostr devs out there: why couldn't we turn this whole thing into a global non-kyc exchange? I post a note saying I want to buy $X amount of #bitcoin. Someone wants to sell to me. We negotiate on the payment method (strike, cash app, etc.) and pay through a HODL invoice. Basically RoboSats but would be less anonymous. Still non-kyc. If this is not possible due to technical reasons please don't blast me. I am a non-dev just trying to get some non-kyc bitcoin. #asknostr

(Proof of stake) Existing coin holders are determined by the state of the ledger, and the state of the ledger is controlled by the existing coin holders- a perpetual motion machine based on circular lodging that doesn’t have a high fault tolerance. A proof of work system uses energy as that external architect of truth, which creates a history with unforgeable costliness, and is what makes the system robust @Lyn Alden Broken Money #bitcoin

AI is easy. Why would they stop at the “rich” and not just go after the rest of us?

Let’s imagine a scenario 1000 years from now. Or 100. Whatever, it’s the future. So imagine there are scholars of history, who are trying to look back at the written record of our time. Something like how archaeologists today, read the clay tablets of the Samarian‘s or scrolls of the ancient Hebrews. Or, let’s just say it’s an amateur historian, looking for records of family members great grandfathers, or great great aunts. They are trying to get a sense for what it was like to live in this day and age, who these people (us) truly were through the lease of history. The thoughts of the people and how they relate to their time. Now imagine that these future archaeologists are combing through social media records. They would either have to get permission from Facebook or Twitter, or whoever owns the data and would likely be offered a curated, limited or censored version of the data, or they could research on open social protocols like #nostr. This is why I believe in #nostr. My record, that will (god willing) be accessed by my progeny, perhaps in an effort to get to know their long since dead ancestor, will be available to them on an open platform.
